Rumors of Possible P4RTK Replacement

Replacement P4 RTK

Accord­ing to Deals­Drone, DJI’s Phan­tom 4 RTK com­mer­cial drone series will run out of stock this month as the com­pa­ny decid­ed to replace it with the Phan­tom 4 RTK SE ver­sion. As con­fir­ma­tion Deals­Drone in his tweet shared a screen­shot of an email from DJI stat­ing that the Phan­tom 4 RTK will run out of stock in March 2022 and will no longer be avail­able for pur­chase. The let­ter also states that the drone will be replaced by the Phan­tom 4 RTK SE, avail­able in both com­bo and SDK con­fig­u­ra­tions.

Model differences

Over­all, it does­n’t look like there will be any sig­nif­i­cant changes in the SE ver­sion; how­ev­er, the let­ter notes that it will not ship with a charg­er. Instead, DJI will sell the charg­er as a sep­a­rate prod­uct in the future. The pow­er cable will also be replaced from 160W to 100W. It is expect­ed that these changes will be aimed at reduc­ing the price.

The return of the Phan­tom 4 RTK drone with an SDK con­troller is a huge plus for cor­po­rate users who want to use their own iPad or Android tablets. This ver­sion will appear to have a more lim­it­ed range of acces­sories, but will still come with essen­tials such as two bat­ter­ies, a microSD card, and a ship­ping case.
