That's not to say the collision detection isn't useful. It is, but it isn't enough for you stop worrying about flying into things. It works best on large dark objects, I flew it right at a volunteer subject and it stopped about four feet in front of him and refused to get closer. It was however happy to fly straight into his raised arms, which where not sufficiently big enough to detect. It was also happy to fly into bushes (again, the bushes were likely not dense enough to detect). The Phantom 4 will also not detect what might be a drone's greatest enemy -- power lines.
-Still this is the first release of the collision detection system and it's not hard to imagine future releases adding more cameras around the body of the Phantom to make collision detection possible on all sides.
+Still this is the first release of the collision detection system and it's not hard to imagine future releases adding more cameras around the body of the Phantom to make collision detection possible on all sides. It will also be interesting to see what sort of software upgrades DJI might offer to the collision detection system.
The collision detection is at its best when combined with what might be the best new feature in the Phantom 4 -- TapFly. TapFly allows you to use your touch screen device to simply tap anywhere on the screen and have the Phantom fly toward it. There's a horizon line you can use to control the altitude of your automated flight and the collision detection will avoid most solid objects.
