DJI has just launched its first flagship store outside China on 12 March 2016. The good news come after recently launch their new product Phantom 4. Consumer will get a chance to up-close the latest products. There's a flying cage designed exclusively for people to experience the live demo.

Company out there is testing delivery of food using drone. This for sure a break-through and make human life better. Imagine by using this, not only it will reduce traffic volume on the road but of course will reduce delivery time.
It's the talks of the drone lovers and everyone is anticipating and it just about to happen. Finally DJI announced launching their newest product on 1st March 2016 - DJI Phantom 4. Packed with new technology and updated features, the DJI Phantom 4 is better than ever — it's the most capable drone you can buy
Phantom 4 feature advanced tech such as collision avoidance and ActiveTrack
The Phantom 4 introduces a slew of features that are supposed to make it easier to fly and harder to crash. Whereas past versions incorporated neat features—quick release propellors, simplified controls, impressive camera upgrades, new intelligent flying modes—the Phantom has always lacked the autonomous flight features that drone pilots want. These include obstacle avoidance and more advanced computer vision that will allow the drone to follow any object. So it was exciting when DJI announced that the Phantom 4 would include front-facing cameras to prevent it from hitting walls and trees, and a feature called ActiveTrak that would keep the camera focused on a specific subject.
DJI Phantom 4 review: Follow me home
Collision detection and avoidance isn’t, however, the end of the story for the Phantom 4. DJI has also added a couple of other exciting new features. First on the list is Active Track, which enables the drone to follow you around you while you walk, run, ski or cycle.
It’s so simple to use, and so effective, it’s ridiculous. Just switch to Active Track mode using the DJI Go app on your phone or tablet, hover the Phantom three metres above the ground and five metres away from you, draw a box around yourself and press Go. That’s it: you can then proceed to make a fool of yourself running around a muddy rugby field trying to shake it off.
Tap Fly
Tap Fly is the next addition to the Phantom 4’s armoury. Switch to this mode while you’re flying and the drone will travel directly to the location you tap on the screen, avoiding obstacles as it goes. A genuine step forward for usability, although it’s probably a feature you’ll grow out of as your skills as a drone pilot progress.
There’s now a pause button on the right shoulder, which will bring the Phantom to a sudden stop if you’ve lost your bearings, and the mode switch on the top-left shoulder of the unit gains a new position. The new Sport mode is aimed at more experienced pilots, and it unlocks the Phantom 4’s improved speed.

Other improvements
Other improvements include a redesigned chassis, now manufactured from magnesium alloy, which is lighter and more robust than before.There’s a higher-capacity, 5,350mAh battery, which will keep you flying for 28 minutes compared with the 23-minute flight time of the Phantom 3.
The three-axis camera gimbal (that thing that keeps the camera stable) is now stiffer and stronger, also built from magnesium alloy, and is more smoothly integrated into the body of the Phantom. And the camera itself has also been improved. The lens now has eight elements, for sharper pictures and better control over chromatic aberrations, and it’s able to record 120fps slow-motion footage at 1080p. Otherwise, though, it’s similar to the camera on the Phantom 3 Professional. It can shoot up to 4K resolution at 30fps and a bit rate of up to 60Mbits/sec, and it will snap 12.4-megapixel stills, too.
The quality of the images is simply superb; perhaps not as good as shooting with a GoPro, but still perfectly serviceable for all but the most demanding of aerial photography applications.
The final big improvement is to the downward-facing movement-sensing cameras, which allow the Phantom 4 to be flown inside, where you cannot get a GPS signal. These now have a greater range than before, allowing the drone to be flown at heights of up to 10m without. Previously, it was only possible to fly the Phantom 3 Professional at up to 3m.
Conclusion
At $1,399, the Phantom 4 commands a slightly more premium price, but it is money well spent. All of DJI’s changes make the Phantom 4 feel more premium, and the new features, such as collision avoidance, ActiveTrack, and sport mode, blew away my expectations right out of the box. I’m happy to say the Phantom 4 is improved all around from its predecessors and keeps DJI among the beset quadcopters you’ll find.
