it's $1,260.00 and his con is that there's no collision avoidance? are you kidding me? People flying these goddamn things should be in control of their model at all times.
Maximo More voltage in a battery means more flight time. Voltage is the potential for energy to move and is equivalent to water pressure. Power comes from current, more current means more power. A watt hour is a measure energy used in an hour and yes that is correlated to voltage, current, ohm relating to flight time.
I believe some phantom 3's do come with intelligent obstacle avoidance systems and that's called an observant and careful pilot. Some don't come with this feature.
A cheap but good quality 7-8" Android tablet would be the perfect monitor for the Phantom. You don't have to use your phone (and miss your calls/text msgs) or your larger tablet (which would make the controller bigger, heavier and more cumbersome to use.) Think of it as a dedicated monitor for your drone (hence you don't want to pay too much for it.) Something like the 7" Samsung Tab 4, which now can be easily found on sale for about $120. Yes, it's only 720p, but that's exactly the resolution you're getting from the Phantom's live feed.
Paolo Pizzi Another alternative (low cost) tablet would be the ASUS Memo Pad 8, slightly more than the Samsung, but with more screen area (I have fat fingertips, and don't think flying with a stylus would be all that easy).

I've flown this thing before. It was truly indescribably wonderful! A great friend knew of somebody who owned one of these. She talked to him, and It was scheduled for a Tuesday, but two days before, the procedure occured. Ya see, the weather was GREAT, but hot that day, and I'd just gotten back from Church, and got on my ventilator, and was about to lie down to sleep, but then I got a call, and within an hour, I was on my way to the drone flight operation site. I took the drone through two flights, using two batteries up, and IT WAS EPIC!!
Thanks for the great review. The Phantom 3 Professional has proved to be an incredible filmmaking tool. Even with the release of the Phantom 4 the Phantom 3 is still useful and now even more affordable.
My father got one for the family, it's been great. We've flown at any opportunity given, and have no complaints. The only downside is signal and battery life, but a signal amplifier and spare batteries fixed this.
I bought the Advanced. I have watched many of your videos , PLEASE lets call them QuadCopters it sounds less offensive. ( it blows my mind, the rapid regulations being put on such Video platforms. most people paying this money want to do something good, like making vacation documentaries or there friends wedding. etc ) First off your video reviews have helped me so much. Like you, I have done a ton of video projects. I know for a 20 min video takes days and hours of time. never mind GB of hard drive space. thanks so much for you Advanced Honest Input. 10 out of 10 THANKS A MILLION!

VERY professional review, and just video in general. I am thinking about buying either a DJI Phantom 3 Standard or the Professional edition, and this video really helps in making that choice (I am now strongly leaning towards the Professional for that RANGE and Sweet 4K). I subscribed just because of this video. Strong like. Really great job!
See this is what I like, a review by someone with an unbiased point of view. I tell developers this all the time, "Don't review your own products!" Apple is known for this. They have fan clubs of people who are madly in love with their products and try to compare their products with Microsoft, 99% of their reviews are going to tell you to "Go Apple!". Pharmaceutical companies do the same thing. How can you trust that a new pill is safe for humans when the very people reviewing it are a part of that corporation? It doesn't make sense. You NEED a third party. So watching a review like yours was refreshing. Thanks man.
I came into some "extra" money about a year and a half ago so I splurged and bought a Phantom 3 Pro. Mind you, I'd never flown a drone before but I was very interested. The photography capabilities and ease of operation convinced me that this was the machine I needed as a newby. I still haven't flown it but I am working my way up flying inexpensive models to develop the basic skilss it takes to not fly the thing off to Never Never Land. This video is very informative and helps to prepare me for my maiden voyage.
I just ordered a Phantom 3 Pro. I've been running a P2 with a GoPro for a couple of years so I'm definitely ready for the improvements in FPV, flight, and camera control I'll get with the new ship.
At 15:40 or so, you can use "Course Lock" to set the orientation of the P3 to any direction and the control sticks will still work normally, no matter what direction the camera points, to the side, rear, whatever.
Great comprehensive review Waj! I'm a former Air Traffic Controller and I don't ever recall speaking to aircraft that quickly and concisely as you did in this Vid. Great Job!
Chris Bellen Your phone doesn't fly the drone, the remote controller does - the app (DJI Pilot) just allows some awesome feedback of your flight - battery life, video feed, GPS data, so just like using any other app; if you get a call the app minimizes you take your call and threaten the caller to pay your repair bill and the call is usually short LOL.
Easily the best Phantom 3 reviews I have seen. The depth of the information provided in this video is something I haven't experienced so far. Sure, you are speaking fast to shorten the length of the video but I never had a problem understanding what you're saying and never needed to rewind. Just one question that I'm trying to find an answer to; what is the battery life of the controller itself before it needs to be recharged?
When you mention the vision positioning system and talk about optical flow you are pointing out the lights on the quad and not the sensors. The sensors are located behind the camera and have 2 silver mesh circles and a small black camera.
You are very right to the point and with your fast talking speed, the largest data was given in a shortest time. Thanks for not wasting my time also your great presentation in introducing the product. Keep up the good work and make more of such valuable presentations.
Pretty honest and accurate review, not skewed in any way. However, you left one thing out. The RTF out of the box may have been the case for you, but my drone sat on the table for two weeks. Wouldn't power up, wouldn't turn a prop. Its hard for me to believe DJI would send something out without the software it needs to fly, but they do, and on a fairly regular basis. And their customer service sucks. If it wasn't for youtube I would still be up a creek. I was able to download the update for my p3, and with much difficulty get it to work, but it wasn't DJI's doing, as a matter of fact after it was all said and done and I was flying, I got an email from dji stating my issue ticket was now being closed. I never had any correspondence with dji. I am flying the p3 until it's props fall off, then I am going to the Storm Antigravity and using the dji for an ash tray.
This has been the best review so far of the 3. You mentioned a number of things that put it in it's proper perspective of both it's pros and cons. Thank you! I think I'll learn on this platform, and eventually get the Inspire.
Thanks for your time in making these videos. Next video please consider covering the use of the Vision Positing System for use outdoors particularly over water. I'm also interested in the pros and cons OF IOC. I am mainly interested in videography and aerial photography
Taavi Ladev Yeah I get that but wouldn't they at least give a little juice? *Edit* because roughly 25 mins of fly time is awful .. I'm not dissing the thing, its sweet as hell but wish I could fly it longer.
You are packed full of information and at a fast pace. Definitely know your stuff. I had to pause a lot to absorb all of what you were saying but it all make sense. Great video and thank you for sharing.
I watched this review, plus others, and it really helped me make the decision that the Pro 3 was what I wanted. I've never flown anything and the first day I had no problems flying it in the "Beginner" mode for 2 flights and the following day I flew it to 400 feet and about 1000 feet away without any problems. I'm very impressed with the video quality and look forward to getting some great video and stills in the future. Thanks again :-)
Great video I enjoy it so much! even though I come from South Europe I understand you very very good, I love the details you are giving to us about the product the good and the bads,,,this is how the videos should be about showing products in 2015! A big Mediterranean bravo!
I really like that it doesn't only use U.S. satellites. DJI is the best of the best right now in terms of it pretty much like being the feeling of opening a brand new iPad or Mercedes.
I have to say, When I saw your channel I expected a poor review from a guy who dont really know drones/UAV. I was wrong you are bang on in this review and very good information in such a short video. Well done to pack in so much info in a small video. Thumbs up and subbed
Looking at purchasing a Drone & your video was amazing in all the content it presented. It really helped clarify the pros & Cons of this particular drone
One key issue that's a downer on the Phantom 3 Pro you didn't mention is that it doesn't record Audio!! The Phantom 2 with a gopro beats the Phantom 3 with this issue hands down. Recording large railway loco's going over huge viaducts. I want to hear the trains aswell as just see them
Excellent review - thank you. Just bought one of these units as it was on sale for $799 US. Currently have the 3 Standard and will continue to use that for the more risky assignments.
Great review!! I've been going thought lots of video reviews of the Phantom 3 prior to purchasing and you managed to cover all the questions I (amateur) could have and also covered topics that I'm sure more seasoned Drone users could have! And thanks for some great shots of the Lower Mainland!!
Hello @ 4:40 you say that the charger is not the same for the Advance VS Pro model ,,,I noticed that so far you might be the only one that says so ??? Illuminate me please Thank You...... keep on the good work
Excellent review. From the standpoint of a person who has used DJI products from the Phantom 1 through the 2+ vision, it is good to see an honest appraisal of this new product. Still wary of the Inspire (too many moving parts), but may have to shelve the Ph1 for the 3. Hate the fact the camera is dedicated, but will save time in editing I suppose from the GoPro and Adobe software I currently employ.
I thought I recognized the area you were flying around in especially when I saw the White Rock footage. Nice to see a great review from a local boy. I'm picking one these up for my big Motorcycle trip in July. Have you heard when their adding the way finding feature? DGI stated it was coming in a future firmware update to both the Phantom 3 and Inspire 1.
Thanks. Great review. Just long enough. Good tech and video feedback. Video quality of your review (not the drone) is excellent. Well shot, pan ins and focus pulls, feels like a properly shot commercial nearly. Keep up that good work. Definitely subscribing. Keep up the good work. Will bookmark your amazon link!
Good review! Thanks a lot! I really like the way you speak fast and essential things only. You manage to pack loads of information in this video 😄 Could you possibly do a similar video about Yuneec Typhoon 500Q 4k? I would be super happy about that. Thanks again for a great review! Keep it up!
Planning on asking my parents to get 1 for me for my birthday and christmas for the next 2 years but I feel so guilty but tempted... I don't know what to do, THE DRONE LOOKS SO DAM GOOD
At 18:52 you state the range as 2km? On the DJI website/specs, they show 3 miles... is that bologna? Thanks, your review is GREAT.. also, how much attention do you pay to balancing the props and what's your preferred method? A++ I've subscribed!
HI,there I'm professional photographer and trust me if that drone will stay in the air in one point no move and you will have that function you want to move the camera right left the skid will be in the framing. So this is the reason they don t have this function. Thanks.
Great review! I've been looking at this drone a lot. My biggest concern is that every review I read says DJI's customer service is... well, non-existent. Have you had any experience with them? From what I understand the camera cable breaks pretty easily and you have to send your entire drone in for 6 weeks + to repair it and pay for an entire new camera! What are your thoughts? Thank you!
Thank you man! very informative. I have 2 phantom 3 professionals and I love doing this for a living. Getting more and more jobs. Keep in touch I think I can learn stuff from you! Brent
Thanks for this perfect review. One of the best I've seen so far on this drone. May I advice you not to film yourself with hard backlight, like the window on your right. Every word you say, you see things flying out of your mouth whitch are not RC controlled :-) Nothing you can do anything about, except for choosing another angle for your light. Keep up this good work.
Wow, you did answer several of my questions. ThanksI do have another question: if you follow a curvy trail in a forest, and you use the "come back" feature, will it follow the path path back, or try to make a straight line (maybe into the trees, bushes, rocks, etc)? Thanks
Out of the entire review, I can't believe you didn't mention noise. In fact with all your captures of the device, not one includes its actual sound. Yes, we know all drones make noise, but the level of noise is a critical issue. This is a symptom of people aping traditional over-produced media (sound effects and everything), we don't get a real sense of what it's like to use the unit in the dimension of sound, even though it would be a constant factor in use.
I liked the video, very nice review. About to purchase one of these drones. Your review answered all my questions. Only one con. If this thing is about 20 inches, how the hell do you see it at 1500 meters? I wouldn't call this a "Line of Sight" my friend. I would call this a hazard. At 1500 meters you cant clearly make out which way its pointing. Never mind flying it. Also, i believe FAA states below 400ft? Line of sight means, you see it, with your eyes, not with the screen mounted to the radio.
More voltage does not mean more flight time. It means more power. Flight time is related to how many watt hours the battery is.
Maximo he's a fool that doesn't understand capacity and voltage. He named not one single legitimate con for the phantom 3.
Jason Harris You're a fool. Did you even watch the video? He articulates several cons to the Phantom 3 in great detail...Duhh
it's $1,260.00 and his con is that there's no collision avoidance? are you kidding me? People flying these goddamn things should be in control of their model at all times.
Maximo More voltage does NOT mean more power.
Maximo More voltage in a battery means more flight time. Voltage is the potential for energy to move and is equivalent to water pressure. Power comes from current, more current means more power.

You can buy the hdmi port accessory from DJI to add a HDMI output to the Phantom 3 controller. It's an easy upgrade and it's about $100.

really professional looking and useful review - thanks for that!
This would be great for search and rescue missions.
HI,there
I'm professional photographer and trust me if that drone will stay in the air in one point no move and you will have that function you want to move the camera right left the skid will be in the framing.
So this is the reason they don t have this function. Thanks.
Great review , very helping and informative. Great work.
Thanks for your thorough review. Great job!
omg no way thats white rock beach!! i love there
My friend is giving me a phantom 3 pro 4 k. Looks easy to fly great video thanks
what the hell was the enexpected sound @ 3:36? thought someone knocked on my door LOL
Great review! I've been looking at this drone a lot. My biggest concern is that every review I read says DJI's customer service is... well, non-existent. Have you had any experience with them? From what I understand the camera cable breaks pretty easily and you have to send your entire drone in for 6 weeks + to repair it and pay for an entire new camera! What are your thoughts? Thank you!
First is a Quad Copter start calling it that
Thank you man! very informative. I have 2 phantom 3 professionals and I love doing this for a living. Getting more and more jobs. Keep in touch I think I can learn stuff from you!
Brent
excellent review and coverage
keep making content like this in the. this is really good channel
really good video extremely informative and well put together
Thanks for this perfect review. One of the best I've seen so far on this drone.
May I advice you not to film yourself with hard backlight, like the window on your right. Every word you say, you see things flying out of your mouth whitch are not RC controlled :-)
Nothing you can do anything about, except for choosing another angle for your light.
Keep up this good work.
good review, pretty straight forward
Awesome review man, good job!
Awesome review! Thanks! Just got one from a mate of mine...can't wait to get it flying. :)
Very good video. I learned alot. Thanks
He sounds like Ian Malcom from Jurassic Park lol.
Fantastic video! All the details that i need to know. Thanks
Nice review. How sturdy is this drone? Is it well-built that it can withstand minor crashes? What happens if it crashes in water? Thanks.
Wow, you did answer several of my questions. ThanksI do have another question: if you follow a curvy trail in a forest, and you use the "come back" feature, will it follow the path path back, or try to make a straight line (maybe into the trees, bushes, rocks, etc)? Thanks
Out of the entire review, I can't believe you didn't mention noise. In fact with all your captures of the device, not one includes its actual sound. Yes, we know all drones make noise, but the level of noise is a critical issue.
This is a symptom of people aping traditional over-produced media (sound effects and everything), we don't get a real sense of what it's like to use the unit in the dimension of sound, even though it would be a constant factor in use.
You did a great job and very informative, thanks!
I liked the video, very nice review. About to purchase one of these drones. Your review answered all my questions.
Only one con. If this thing is about 20 inches, how the hell do you see it at 1500 meters? I wouldn't call this a "Line of Sight" my friend. I would call this a hazard. At 1500 meters you cant clearly make out which way its pointing. Never mind flying it. Also, i believe FAA states below 400ft?
Line of sight means, you see it, with your eyes, not with the screen mounted to the radio.
Great video... Thank you for your time and effort.
I'm going with the phantom three professional
Your review is amazing. Thank you very much indeed.
Great review!
Most excellent review!
