DJI Phantom 4 Pro V2.0
The DJI Phantom 4 Pro V2.0 is the latest iteration in DJI’s iconic Phantom Series. The Phantom 4 V2.0 features an OcuSync HD transmission system for dual frequency band switching. A powerful 1-inch Exmor R CMOS sensor captures high-quality images at 20 MP and video in up to 4K at 60 FPS.
Key Features
The Phantom 4 V2.0 has a wealth for features like those of the Phantom Series:
• 1-inch 20-megapixel CMOS sensor capable of up to 4K video with a bitrate of 100Mbps
• A wide range of DJI Intelligent Flight Modes including ActiveTrack, Gesture Mode, TapFly and many more
• A mechanical shutter, eliminating rolling shutter distortion
• A flight time of up to 30 minutes
• 5 directions of obstacle sensing and 4 directions obstacle avoidance
• A new OcuSync transmission system
• A quieter propulsion system
OcuSync Transmission System
The DJI Phantom 4 Pro V2.0 features a new dual-band OcuSync transmission system, automatically switching between 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz. The controller identifies which frequency has the lowest interference and switch to provide the clearest transmission.
The new OcuSync also allows wireless connectivity with the DJI Goggles and Goggles RE and the Phantom 4 Pro V2.0. Removing the restrictions of wires and allowing a reliable connection.
DJI Phantom 4 Pro V2.0 Remote Controller
The Phantom 4 Pro+ V2.0 remote controller is available with a built-in 5.5” 1080p screen. The ultra-bright screen has a brightness of 1000 cd/m2 increasing usability in direct sunlight. The screen’s brightness is twice as bright as the majority of smartphones and tablets.
Propulsion System
The DJI Phantom 4 Pro V2.0 features an all-new quieter propulsion system. Newly designed 9455S propellers and FOC ESC drivers result in a 4dB noise reduction. The sinusoidal current is also improved, increasing the Phantom 4 Pro V2.0’s stability in flight.

Phantom 4 Pro V2 FAQs
Yes – accessories will be compatible with the drones; however, remote controllers will not be compatible due to the different transmission systems.
The Phantom 4 Pro V2.0 feature an OcuSync transmission system rather than Lightbridge and a new propulsion system for up to a 60% noise reduction and more stable flight.
No – the screen is fixed.
Yes – a range of apps can be downloaded including social media apps.
Images are captured as JPEG in the same resolution as the recording.
Yes. All the accessories are compatible except the remote.
Drone Laws, Licences and Training Requirements
Drone Registration
Do I need UK drone registration?
Yes, you will need to register. Visit the CAA’s DMARES website. If you have already registered and have an Operator ID, ensure this is attached to your Phantom 4 Pro V2.
Where Can I Fly?
Without taking a drone training course, you will have to fly by the rules of the Open Category’s A3 subcategory (fly far from people). This says:
- No uninvolved people present within the area of flight;
- No flight within 150m horizontally of residential, commercial, industrial, and recreational areas.
Want more freedom? Take a drone training course.
Training Options
A2 CofC
An A2 CofC allows operations in the A2 subcategory (fly near to people) of the Open Category. This permits flights up to 50m horizontally from uninvolved people. This is allowed during the Transitional Period, which runs in the UK until December 31, 2022.
GVC
For operations which pose a greater risk than the Open Category or fall outside the Open Category parameters, a GVC is required to apply for an Operational Authorisation to fly in the Specific Category.
How Do I Get an A2 CofC or GVC?
Complete an A2 CofC or GVC with Heliguy - a UK CAA-approved Recognised Assessment Entity - through our online training portal.
The A2 CofC involves a syllabus, followed by a multiple choice examination (sat remotely with Heliguy) and a period of practical flight training.
The GVC involves a syllabus, followed by a multiple-choice examination (sat remotely with Heliguy). Candidates are also required to produce an Operations Manual, and will undergo a practical flight assessment with a flight examiner.

Can I Fly Commercially With An A2 CofC or GVC?
Yes. Having an A2 CofC allows you to operate commercially. But the A2 CofC is not specifically a commercial permission; it is a competency which permits flights in the A2 subcategory, regardless of recreational or commercial flying.
You can fly commercially in the Open Category without an A2 CofC, but your operations will be restricted to the conditions of the A3 subcategory.
The GVC allows you to apply for an Operational Authorisation, which has replaced the Permission for Commercial Operation (PfCO), to fly in the Specific Category - geared towards enterprise drone pilots and for operations outside the remit of the Open Category.
Permission For Flight Association Members
Members of Flight Associations can fly under an Article 16 authorisation, which enables flights up to 30m of uninvolved people and 30m horizontal distance from an assembly of people in certain locations - without having to do an A2 CofC or GVC. Article 16 cannot be used for commercial reasons, though.
What Happens If I Had A Valid PfCO?
Holders of a Standard Permission valid beyond December 31, 2020, will have their permissions brought into line with the new Operational Authorisation (which has replaced the PfCO) to enable operations in the Specific Category. On renewal, this permission will become an Operational Authorisation. This means that you will not need to sit a GVC course yet, but will be required to complete a PfCO to GVC conversion course before January 1, 2024.
From January 2023 (End of Transitional Period)
The rules will change for DJI aircraft in their current form. Updated information released nearer the time.
