4K, the latest and greatest in definition and output but what exactly is 4K and how does it compare to high definition or HD.

4K is a resolution measurement and it is ultra-high definition; ultra high in output and ultra high in technological advancement. 4K refers to a display device or content having horizontal resolution on the order of 4 thousands pixels. Four thousand! That’s a big jump, it rightfully earns its name as ultra-high definition.

Pushed beyond the exclusive tech-minded early adopter market 4K is now readily available across a wide range of television and digital cinematography. This high level of advanced technology has now made its way into the world of drones too.

A brilliant example of 4K use in drone technology is the DJI Phantom 3 professional quadcopter. The drone built with the serious pilot in mind comes supporting the ability to shoot 4K videos at up to 30 frames per second and capture images on a 12 megapixel resolution and the ability to access a 98-degree field view. DJI take their work seriously and ensure that the camera is fully stabilised and that none of your feedback will come back blurry or disheveled.

4K or ultra-high definition technology is a great upgrade to standard and popularly used high definition resolution. Having this advancement paired with drones, the next big market that’s currently blowing up the tech-industry will provide eye boggling results. Silently capture video footage and images from angles and heights that a few years ago you would have thought only people like nasa were capable of! Now even better, capture it in ultra-high definition and use it for something as simple as your Instagram account if you like! Apply it to your business or you social account, it’s there for the taking and available now.
