The DJI Phantom 4, classified as a quad-copter, utilizes a combination of a mobile device and a separate remote controller to control its flight, which means you’ll have to download the mobile application to take advantage of this advanced combination.

At $1,399, the Phantom 4 is one of the more expensive drones available. It is commonly used for film & photography, but in the end, what you use it for is up to you.

Altitude Hold This simply means that if you let go of all of the controls, the drone will remain flying at the same altitude as it was prior to letting go.
Position Hold This feature allows the drone to remain hovering in place if you let go of all the controls.
Flight Planning
Autonomous Flight The drone is able to fly autonomously without you having to actively control it. This means that you can pre-plan its flight, using a number of waypoints set up on the ground, and it will fly on the path that you planned.
Follow Me Capable Follow me capable means that the drone can be programmed to follow your controller, whether it is using GPS or a radio signal. If this is enabled, you can have the drone fly in the air near you, and it will follow you as you move.
Automatic Landing This feature allows you to press a button and let the drone land itself.
