DJI Announces Phantom 4 Pro V2.0
The announcement of the DJI Phantom 4 Pro V2.0 is one I have been waiting to see – primarily to check for upgrades.
I recently purchased the Phantom 4 Pro V 1.0 as I did not think waiting for an update was cost effective NOR did I want to get pinched and not be able to use all of my original Phantom 4 batteries from the last Phantom I had owned (before losing is it in the drink off Long Island).

Please see for yourself there seem to be very very little differences between the two Phantom 4 Pro versions.

Major Differences at First Glance
- New OcuSync connection for First Person View (FPV) goggles
- Wear Wireless DJI Goggles with high-resolution displays to provide clear sight and low latency viewing.
- Control the Quad-Copter directly with your head enabling “Head Tracking”
- You can move the aircraft or the gimbal with this control just by turning your head.
- Updated motors and propellers (for quieter operation and propulsion)
- The motors have an updated Field Oriented Control and updated Electronic Speed Controls
- Redesigned propellers
Quick Conclusion
The Phantom 4 Pro V2.0 is certain worthy of a 2.0 name but it doesn’t seem aimed at anyone with a Version 1.0. I did not see a change in camera sensor or ability. Neither did I see a change in specs for camera controls or video ability.
It is still an upgrade from the original Phantom 4 Pro it makes sense if you want to upgrade and would like the reduced sound operation and also the FPV Goggles.
I am happy I did not wait for this Version 2.0 as neither of these upgrades were what I was looking for.
Finally I do think this pushes out a Phantom 5 release as to not squash the market for Phantom 4 Pro users.
