DJI, one of the world’s leading developers and manufacturers in UAV systems, today announced the launch of the PHANTOM Vision, the industry’s first professional grade, consumer-focused quadcopter with integrated HD camera.

The PHANTOM Vision is the only quadcopter on the market to offer professional-level multi-rotor flight control technology, an intelligent GPS-based autopilot system, an integrated HD camera and an iOS app for full camera control. The PHANTOM Vision also comes with a remote control unit containing pre-programmed autopilot parameters allowing pilots to switch between different flight modes to achieve particular flight experiences.
