Phantom 4 vs Phantom 4 Advanced — The Newest Phantom
The Phantom 4 Advanced just entered the Phantom family! With the Phantom 4 having recently been discontinued, the Phantom 4 Advanced has taken its place and the budget version of the most current Phantom design. In this article, we’ll take a look at how the new Phantom 4 Advanced compares to its predecessor, the Phantom 4.
Camera
Let’s start by taking a look at the Phantom 4’s camera. Released in March of 2016, the Phantom 4 has an impressive 4K camera that shoots 12 MP still and achieves impressive ISO levels. Stills taken with a Phantom 4 look vibrant in RAW or JPEG format. When it comes to video, the P4 shoots 4096×2160 footage at 25 fps and 4K UHD footage at 30 fps. If you don’t need the full 4K treatment, there are also options to shoot in 2K, Full HD, or 720p. Additionally, live video streams to your mobile device in 720p when downlink resolution is set as high as possible.

Perhaps most notably, the Phantom 4 Advanced’s camera has a mechanical shutter, which eliminates rolling shutter effect. Also, the camera has an adjustable aperture, which lets you play with depth of field in your shots. Phantom 4 Advanced footage is compressed at 100 Mbps using H.265, an improvement from the H.264 60 Mbps encoding offered by the Phantom 4.
