Phantom 3 Professional Review

DJI seems to have dominated the drone market in the recent past. The release of the phantom 3 seems to have taken the quadcopter market to the next level. This is despite the fact that Phantom 2 Vision+ seemed to be more or less unchallenged in the camera drone market. Their InspireOne also enabled a great setup for the beginner professional users. Many phantom 3 professional reviews agree that this is a complete overhaul rather than an incremental upgrade and this make the professional model to look better in certain areas for a price that is more than half. Let us look at the professional model and what has been upgraded.

Upgraded flight gear

In many areas, the DJI Phantom 4 review has a similar look at a Vision+. However, there are also some major changes. The piddly low-res transmitter has been replaced with a DJI Lightbridge that is not only far more superior but is able to stream the video back to the controller in a period of 720p. In areas where you got a bad low-res feed from a Vision+, the P3 makes it possible for you to see what you are doing. The range is from ~500 m- 2km and more. However, the video feed will get a bit blocky when you fly more than hundreds of meters.

There also seem to be more stability in the air in the Phantom 3 probably due to the GPS system that has been upgraded and the added GLONASS unit. The device comes with a camera that faces downwards as well as an ultrasound unit like it is the case with the undercarriage of the Inspire that comes with improved level of stability close to the ground. This ensure that it fly more easily when indoor. Practically, it is more stable outdoors even with a coastal breeze that is fairly strong.

As compared to the Phantom 2, the Phantom 3 is actually more responsive. However, you will have an almost similar experience but this isn’t a bad thing as the old Phantoms were also smoother and they weren’t difficult to fly. Their top speed is still around 60km/h and this is not bad thing especially when you want to shoot a motorcycle or a car that is already in motion. However, it is also about 20km per hour down as compared to the Inspire One.

When it comes to the hand-held controller, this is almost similar to what is in the Inspire’s and can be connected to a smartphone using the USB cable rather than the Wi-Fi signal and this means that it is a bit easier on the battery of the phone. There are also extra buttons such as the return-to-home button as well as various camera control gears that makes it possible for you to start and even control the video. This is on top of taking still shots even without having the tablet or phone connected, which is very important when your batteries are running low.

Flight modes

When it comes to the flight modes, there isn’t much that has changed. There is still the P mode that enables full GPS/VPS/GLONASS stabilization. With the A mode, you can switch off the VPS and GPS gear and enable the drone to drift and this ensure that you have some smoother shots.
