Last year right around this time， DJI Innovations released its original Phantom quadcopter. The fact that the aircraft was designed to carry a GoPro camera made it quite popular. Then in November， the company started selling the Phantom 2 Vision model， which features its own built-in Wi-Fi-controlled HD camera. It‘s pretty awesome， but at US$1，199 it’s priced $720 more than the base Phantom. Now， DJI has introduced two new models that occupy the middle ground between those two price points.

The onboard camera isn‘t the only thing that sets the Phantom 2 Vision apart from the Phantom. It also has an improved flight control system – meaning it’s easier to control – plus its new battery allows for flight times of about 25 minutes as opposed to 10 to 15. Additionally， the quadcopter features self-tightening propellers， so you don‘t need to worry about one of the suckers popping off in mid-flight （as long as you initially mounted the right ones to the right motors）。

Well， if you keep all of those other improvements but lose the built-in camera， you get 。..

The Phantom 2

Not only are the new props on this version and the Vision self-tightening， but they’re also larger， allowing the quadcopter to carry a heavier payload than the original model. This is an important consideration， as the Phantom 2 is optimized for use with DJI‘s Zenmuse H3-2D gimbal camera mount.

This particular model of the Zenmuse is designed for use with a user-supplied GoPro HERO3. It lets users remotely tilt the camera up and down， plus it automatically adjusts the orientation of the camera on two axes， in order to maintain a level shot. A dedicated lever （and a separate channel） on the Phantom 2’s control unit lets users remotely-control the gimbal.

The base Phantom 2， which includes the Zenmuse control module but not the gimbal itself， sells for a suggested retail price of US$679. For $879， you‘ll get the gimbal as part of the package.

The Phantom FC40

To get a sense of this model， imagine the original Phantom – along with its 10 to 15-minute battery – then add a built-in 720p/30fps video camera. That may not be as snazzy as the Phantom 2 Vision’s 1080p camera （or a GoPro）， but it should still do nicely for videos that are just being posted on YouTube or viewed on the user‘s computer.

As is the case with the Vision， an app allows users to control the camera with their mobile device， and to view first-person footage in real time from the quadcopter. They can also record footage on an SD card， located in the camera. In the case of the FC40， however， the camera angle has to be set by hand before each flight – on the Vision， the camera can be tilted by remote control.

The Phantom FC40 is priced at $560. The original Phantom is still also available， for $479.

DJI推出中等价位的Phantom 2和Phantom FC40四旋翼直升机 dji释放9，中等价位的幻影2和幻影FC40系统quadcopters

Phantom FC40系统是两quadcopters最近推出的DJI

去年就在这个时候，DJI创新发布了其最初的幻影直升机。事实上，飞机是用来携带GoPro相机很受欢迎。然后，在十一月，该公司开始销售幻影2视觉模型，其特点是它自己内置的Wi-Fi控制的高清摄像头。这非常棒，但在我们1199美元的售价720美元的基础幻影。现在，道琼斯工业平均指数已经推出了两个新的模型，占据了这两个价格点之间的中间立场。

车载摄像机不是唯一集幻影2愿景除了幻影。它也有一个改进的飞行控制系统，这意味着它更容易控制，再加上它的新电池可以飞行时间约25分钟，而不是10到15。此外，直升机的螺旋桨特性自紧，所以你不需要担心一个吸盘打开飞行中（只要你最初安装到正确的电机是正确的）。

好了，如果你把所有这些改进，但是失去的内置摄像头，你得到…

幻影2

不仅是新的道具在这个版本和视觉自紧，但他们也较大，允许直升机携带较重的有效载荷比原模型。这是一个重要的考虑因素，如幻影2是使用DJI的zenmuse h3-2d万向支架优化。

这个特定模型的zenmuse是专为使用用户提供的GoPro HERO3。它可以让用户远程向上和向下倾斜，再加上它会自动调整相机的方向，以保持一个水平的镜头。一个专用的杠杆（和一个单独的通道）在幻影2的控制单元允许用户远程控制框架。

基地的幻影2，包括zenmuse控制模块而不是框架本身，卖的建议零售价为679美元。879美元，你会得到的框架的一部分。

幻影FC40系统

了解这个模型，想象随着它的10到15分钟的电池–那么原始的幻影–添加内置720P/30FPS视频摄像机。这不可能像幻影2愿景的1080p的相机为时髦（或保存），但是它还是做得很好的视频，只是被张贴在YouTube上或在用户的计算机上查看。

如与视觉，一个应用程序允许用户与他们的移动设备的相机控制，并从直升机实时查看第一人的镜头。他们还可以记录在一个SD卡上的录像，在相机里。然而在FC40系统，的情况下，相机的角度必须手动设置在视觉上每个航班–，相机可以通过远程控制倾斜。

Phantom FC40系统售价560美元。最初的幻影也仍然是可用的，为479美元。
