In an act that poses serious security questions, ten China made high-tech drones – DJI Phantom-4 PRO drones outfitted with advanced satellite navigation system were seized at the Kempegowda International Airport in Bangalore last week. Reports suggest that the seizure has sparked a probe into the matter with authorities carrying out searches in Chennai and Bangalore.

The DJI Phantom 4 Pro is the most sophisticated in design and trumps form over function. It is outfitted with intuitive controls and delivers the results. According to K Ramachandra, National Mission for Micro Air Vehicles, the drone poses serious threats as the machine is so small and lightweight that it cannot be discernible at a maximum height.

It delivers clear, impeccable footage shots in both a low light and naturally well-lit environment. When it comes to videos, it can shoot 4K video at up to 60 frames per second. It also comes with a second battery that allows to get more use out of it.
