DJI Phantom 4 Pro V2 is here!
Is the DJI Phantom 4 Pro V2 worth it?
What are the differences between Phantom 4 Pro V1 and V2?
Basically, the only major difference in the DJI Phantom 4 Pro V2 is the use of OcuSync instead of DJI’s Lightbridge technology. What does this mean? It means that the video signal is transmitted using a different technology with less latency and able to transmit wirelessly.
Now you can use your DJI Googles without a wire connecting to the remote for video transmission. Pretty cool feature. You can also use more than one monitor, it now can be used with dual monitors.
The DJI Phantom 4 Pro V2 also is slightly lighter by 20 grams. No huge gain here but I guess every little bit helps for longer flight times.
Finally, they have designed a low noise propeller (9455S) similar to the Mavic Pro. They have reduced the noise of the props by a 4db reduction. They have also changed the ESC’s to new FOC ESC Drivers which control the motors for even greater stability.

Will I be trading in my Phantom 4 Pro V1 for V2? Probably not.
If I didn’t already have the DJI Phantom 4 Pro V1 I would definitely buy the V2 for the least amount of video latency in real time. Also using the Googles without a wire is a great improvement. The fewer wires the better. Since the camera is the same no benefit for picture quality and that’s the most important thing to me.
Stay tuned as I believe DJI will be releasing the Mavic Pro 2 and perhaps a Phantom 5 in the near future. So if you have the patience it may be worth waiting a month or so for the Phantom 5 or Mavic 2.
