Description — DJI Phantom 2
The DJI Phantom 2 is a quadcopter drone designed for aerial imaging, built around a 14 MP sensor with a 1/2.3-inch sensor size. It captures still images at a maximum resolution of 4384 x 3288 px and records video up to 1080p at 30fps or 60fps. Media is saved to microSD, microSDHC, or microSDXC cards.
The drone relies on gimbal stabilization to maintain camera steadiness in flight — there is no in-body or digital IS. Power comes from a 5200 mAh LiPo battery rated for up to 25 minutes of flight time. The frame measures 350 mm diagonally, weighs 1,242 grams, and is constructed from plastic and composite materials.
It carries no weather sealing, so operators should avoid flying in wet or dusty environments. Wireless connectivity is provided via Wi-Fi, with control and monitoring handled through a mobile app that doubles as the viewfinder. USB connectivity is also available, while Bluetooth is not included.
