As a cinematographer, you’re always on the lookout for new ways to capture the perfect shot. In recent years, drones have become increasingly popular as a tool for filmmakers. But with so many different drone brands and models on the market, it can be tough to decide which one is right for you. In this blog post, we’ll compare two of the most popular drone brands out there: DJI Phantom and XDynamics Evolve 2.
We’ll break down the key differences between them in terms of features, performance, and price. So, if you’re in the market for a new drone, read on to find out which one is right for you! Even with the line of DJI Phantom drones like the 1, DJI Phantom 2, DJI Phantom 3, not a whole lot has changed.
DJI Phantom – Why has Production Stopped?
The Phantom drone was an innovative and powerful drone that impressed many people in its category, but three years ago the manufacturer pulled it from production due to limited demand. It remains one of the industry’s most popular drones because they’re so portable while still being able capture high-quality footage with ease!
It’s no surprise that the market is eagerly awaiting new features or design changes to overcome what many consider its weak points.
With the gap left by the Phantom, XDynamics presented EVOLVE 2 to fill in as a more powerful drone as well as bring a more cost-effective solution for those who were looking DJI’s immediate bigger product – Inspire.
DJI Phantom x XDynamics EVOLVE 2 Design Comparison
Phantom’s four-point star shape is made with ABS plastic and features even motors (parallel angle), which are 920 KV/140 Watts power. The latest version has a diameter of 28mm as well 24 height mm from the ground Make sure to check out all these specs here.

With a sleek design that’s stronger and lighter than ever, this high-performance EVOLVE 2 drone is built with carbon fiber. The magnesium heat sink body also ensures no need for inside fans to cool off the system when it reaches higher speeds up 60 mph max! And because of its aerodynamic features like wings without any unnecessary protrusions or logos visible in videos filmed at speed on camera drones – you can now go even faster without worrying about propellers showing themselves off too much while airborne
Camera System – DJI Phantom Vs EVOLVE 2
The Astra m4/3 drone camera system from XDynamics is designed to be lightweight and aerodynamic. It is also powerful enough to support a wide range of professional lenses. This camera system has a Micro 4/3 CMOS sensor that allows it to shoot 4K video at 120 frames-per-second. The large 4.63μm pixels of the 12MP sensor result in cleaner image quality, vastly higher dynamic range, and reduced noise.
DJI – The DJI Phantom 4 multispectral Pro has a 1-inch sensor. This is the biggest sensor in the Phantom series. The camera also has a mechanical shutter and manual focus and aperture. This lets you take pictures with depth of field, making them look more like movies.
The Phantom camera is capable of capturing fast-moving subjects in high definition. The new firmware tweak enables 120fps mode, which records footage at full 1080p FHD (the field view will be reconfigured to 47° when recording). This makes for smoother slow-motion videos!
RC Drone Controller
Phantom –
The updated Lightbridge HD video transmission technology that supports 5.8 GHz transmission is included in the Phantom 4 Pro controller. Pilots can avoid interference and the picture lag that results from flying over an area where the 2.4Ghz frequency is often in use by having the option to switch between 2.4Ghz and 5.8Ghz. This guarantees a maximum video transmission range of 4.3 miles (7 kilometers)*. According to DJI.
XDynamics –
The two internal antennas of the Ground Station offer reliable aircraft control and video transmission for up to 2.5 kilometers (4km). Ranges may be increased to 4.3 miles (7 km) with an omnidirectional antenna and to 6.8 miles (11 km) with a directional antenna by using two additional antennas in more remote places. two touch displays with a combined brightness of 1000 nits, an 8″ FPV Viewfinder, and a 5.5″ Control Screen, all of which have anti-reflection coatings to reduce glare in bright environments.
“XDynamics also improved on what was already widely regarded as one of the best controllers on the market”

Why does a Drone RC Controller Matter?
The flight controller is a computer that helps your drone stay in the air and move smoothly. It senses what is happening around it and tells the motors how fast to spin so you can take off or land without any jerky movements. You don’t need any experience to fly your drone!
Your drone’s flying algorithm is controlled by a sophisticated symphony. This indicates that every chip plays a different note. When all of these various sounds are combined, an amazing symphony is produced. Everything is in its proper position and none of the instruments stick out excessively.
