I BOUGHT A DRONE! DJI Phantom 3 Professional Impressions

The time finally came to buy a drone. I got a deal that I couldn't pass up on a DJI Phantom 3 quadcopter. I intend to use it for fancy shots in my videos and, honestly, to have an awesome toy/hobby.

Here it is 7 years later and I'm getting great value from your video. I was gifted a Phantom 3 Pro recently. It came from a Real Estate photographer who was retiring and wanted to pass on his quadcopter. I didn't know him. He was an amazingly generous man who said the drone paid for itself many times and he wanted to pass it on to someone who would appreciate it.
Circumstanced kept me from flying it for months. Today I am going to fly it for only the second time. It is a bit windy (within the numbers from DJI). I was waiting for a calmer day, but your video has encouraged me to give it a go.
I'm glad to see you are still posting 7 years after putting up this video.
Thank You.

These things are cool beyond words! The "Return to Home" button is especially impressive. It's like something out of a sci-fi movie!

Great video, I love quadcopters and need this in my life!

thank you for the review. Very informative

[Crisheight]

Awesome, the video looked amazing from the phantom!

Of all the DJI Phantom 3 videos I've seen here on YouTube, yours, by far, is terrific! The clips, your verbal descriptions, your audio quality are all very high quality. You should be proud of yourself.

Amazing piece of technology for a toy :D
To be fair, the best thing about it, is the AMAZING video footage you get.

I love my DJI inspire 1. DJI has been doing great with their software. Flying, for me, has turned into a hobby as well as a great production tool.

Thank you.. GREAT video demo.. comforting that you were able to learn with the Phantom 3 rather than wasting time and money on a cheap drone for practice. I'm apt to just jump in with this system... did you use post production software to stabilize the video, or is that right out of the camera as is? The Phantom 3 Pro is on sale right now... sooo... I guess it's time!

Thank you for sharing this. I have a P3 Standard. I really enjoy flying it, when the weather is right. The other day I was in my Father-in-Laws back yard when off in the distance my P3 was hovering and drifted into some branches of a tree and she went down. Thank goodness not much damage was done. I still need to do a test flight to see if my P3 still can maneuver around. Once again, thanks for sharing your video

The drone does fly out 5km or for people in US 3miles which is pretty impressive since you can get live feed out that far.

Is this really suitable for a first time drone/quadcopter owner?? You made it look very easy

This review just made me really want one...

Great First Flight Video, took to it very quickly ..well done .

3:29 What type of monitor is attached to the transmitter? I found a complete bundle kit but doesn't mention a monitor. Thanks.

Great video! I also just got a P3 Pro (cheap deal from a friend who upgraded to an Inspire for work...!) and am loving it. I haven't flown it without GPS yet but I have a feeling it will be a LOT easier to crash without GPS assistance....!!

"... It's not really a drone, it's a quadcopter, but I'm going to call mine a drone. It's a drone... I've never owned a quadcopter."

You are probably one of the most brutally honest reviewes which what we need.

[MarcWBasss]

How are you finding the Pro? I recently got the Phantom 3 4K and I love it! I was waiting exactly like you and then found a good deal 😀

you can use course lock mode and you dont have to worry about orientation. It will always move in the direction you push the stick, regardles of where the nose is pointing.
