Our Take<\/h2>\n

\"DJI<\/p>\n

The Phantom 3 Standard<\/strong> is an affordable, fully integrated camera drone that includes an intelligent system that makes it easy to fly and film up to 1 km away using built-in Lightbridge technology<\/strong>. Within minutes after you unbox it, the Phantom 3 Standard is ready to fly & shoot Ultra-high quality video.<\/p>\n

It’s also the best-value HD camera drone on the market today.<\/p>\n

The Phantom 3 Standard’s closest competitor is 3D Robotic’s new Solo Quadcopter. At $999, the 3DR Solo<\/a> <\/strong>is more expensive; on top of that, you’ll have to buy a camera and a gimbal, which can send the price to almost $2,000.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, the Solo offers GPS autopilot and advanced flight and camera controls that the Phantom 3 does not (although DJI says all of these features are coming soon – see details below).<\/p>\n

In our opinion, the Phantom 3 Standard is an excellent<\/strong> choice for your first camera drone<\/a><\/strong>. Assuming DJI makes good on their promise to offer waypoint GPS autopilot and advanced flight modes, the Phantom 3 Standard offers hard-to-beat value.<\/p>\n

RC Receiver<\/h3>\n

The included RC receiver<\/strong> holds any smart phone or tablet, which is used to display the DJI’s superb Pilot App<\/strong> and live 720p HD video feed<\/strong> from the aircraft’s onboard camera. The receiver and your device communicate via WiFi.<\/p>\n

\"DJI<\/p>\n

Using the controller, you operate the Phantom 3 Standard while enjoying immersive, live HD view<\/strong> of everything below on your smart phone or tablet – up to 1\/2 mile away.<\/p>\n
