<\/a><\/p>\n NOTE<\/span>: in 2017, DJI replaced the Phantom 3 Pro with the<\/strong> Phantom 4 PRO<\/a>. <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\nThe Phantom 3 Pro is an easy to use, fully integrated camera drone package with an intelligent system that helps you fly smarter.<\/p>\n
Even when flying up to 1.2 miles (2km)*<\/sup> away, built-in Lightbridge technology gives you complete control over your Phantom 3 and an immersive, live HD view of everything below.<\/p>\n Just connect your phone or tablet (iOS or Android) to the USB port<\/strong> on the all-new controller<\/strong> and you’re ready to film.<\/p>\n The Phantom 3<\/strong> streams video direct to your device in 720p from a distance of up to 1.2 miles. And your phone will charge while connected to the controller!<\/p>\n The new DJI Go flight control app<\/strong> used for the Phantom 3 is the same used by its more expensive sibling, the Inspire 1<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n The main screen in the DJI Pilot app has four main functions: camera, director, store and user center.<\/p>\n In the camera section, you access everything you need to fly the Phantom 3.<\/p>\n Surrounding the live camera feed are a ton of dials and telemetry data including your altitude, distance from ground station and map location (bottom right corner). It also displays live signal strength indicators for your comm channel and GPS satellites.<\/p>\n The controller<\/strong> includes buttons for Auto Takeoff<\/strong> and Return Home<\/strong> flight modes. There’s also a prominent button for taking camera shots.<\/p>\n The included DJI Go App <\/strong>runs on your phone or tablet, allowing you to see and control everything through one screen:<\/p>\n Using the DJI Video Editor<\/strong> app on your smartphone or tablet, you can:<\/p>\n One big difference between the Phantom 2 and 3 is the camera<\/strong>. The Phantom 2 is designed to carry a GoPro, whereas the Phantom 3 uses its own proprietary DJI camera.<\/p>\n The included 4K camera<\/strong> is excellent, however. There’s almost zero fisheye distortion<\/strong> present and the images are outstanding and color-balanced.<\/p>\n Close-ups are a bit soft\/fuzzy, but otherwise nothing to complain about.<\/p>\n One of the benefits of controlling the camera is that DJI can extend functionality and control beyond what GoPro allows. The Phantom 3 includes new camera controls like time-lapse and burst mode<\/strong>, and you set manual exposure via the app<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The Phantom 3 comes with advanced flight assistance features including:<\/p>\n DJI recently announced that advanced flight modes and waypoint-directed GPS autopilot are NOW AVAILABLE for their Phantom lineup.<\/strong><\/p>\n Once you grab the shot, the included video editing software works lets you stream your live video directly to YouTube<\/strong> (720p). Not sure how many people will actually do this, but it could be used for live event coverage or video surveillance<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The Phantom 3 is designed to basically fly itself, while you focus on getting a great camera shot. First Person View (FPV) works almost flawlessly (unlike the Phantom 2), and is a lot of fun.<\/p>\n Overall, the Phantom 3 is a great camera drone that takes incredibly crisp and stable images while keeping things simple.<\/p>\n It’s the perfect cam drone for most consumers and hobbyists.<\/strong><\/p>\nFlight Controller<\/h3>\n
