DJI Phantom 3 Professional VS Standard

Which DRONE is for you, the DJI Phantom 3 Professional or the Standard?

If you are looking to pick up your first DRONE this video will help you decide which is for you.

You forgot to mention the huge difference between wifi and light bridge!

Only Jared Poland could make a comparison video like this one, Jared says the professional has more buttons on the remote. but doesn't tell you what the extra buttons are for, because he actually doesn't know what they are for, the only thing he knows is that one shoots 4k. and has sensors on the bottom, common Jared you can do better than this. you didn't tell us anything that we couldn't read off the box

"A little more expensive..." The shit is literally 2x more expensive.

It is really crazy where drones have gone. $400 for the standard now and not much more for the professional. I think if anyone is looking to buy these now, go with the professional.

Good comparison as always Jared! I bought the P3Pro version.. some of the reasons that drove my selection.. the ability to grab stills from the 4k rather than shifting to the still camera function. The P3Pro has LONGER operating range with light bridge AND the P3Pro holds my iPad Mini2 perfectly for first person view. The manual exposure Value control wheel is great on the P3Pro... Stronger motors=more stability in the wind and as you've said visual/ultrasonic ground positioning sensors facing down on the P3Pro. I would not personally have been happy at all with the lower version. A couple of minutes more of operating time doesn't even begin to factor in.. that's just my opinion :) learn on the P3Pro.. very VERY easy to learn on. IF you have the money...

By far the best review out there! I've looked for months and this is the best most simple review with a clear cut answer!

By the way, I decide to go for the standard one, because the battery last longer, and both the advance and professional use 2 satellite systems, so it means more battery consumption, and add to that the sensors.

Thank you for this video, I have always wanted to buy one and now I think I now know which one I will get.

Hello Jared,
I was wondering if the DJI Phantom 3 Standard was able to have way points, if so do you have t record the way points manually?

[Matlg]

I have a standard and it's amazing. My opinion the standard is amazing. I've got amazing high resolution photos, and it's very easy and fun to fly. Don't let the "pro" idea trick you out of the standard. It's amazing

[Bobster]

FYI. You can NOT use the Phantom 3 Pro controller with the Inspire 1 in any shape or form.

Great work as always Mr. Poland. Very thorough!

[AndyLifeInVideo]

Are you gonna shoot some demo footage of each?

[njsullyalex]

I went with the DJI Phantom FC40 (1st generation Phantom!) before either of these existed. Did some mods myself, got a GoPro, and it gets great video. However, the new P3 Standard blows mine out of the water, and it overall costs less than what it took to build my Phantom. If you are beginning, I would reccomend the P3 Standard, and you won't need anything more. It gets professional quality HD video that is super stable and cinematographic. However, I still love my Phantom FC40 and I fly it all the time to this day. In fact, when my friend got a P3 Standard, I used my FC40 to teach him how to fly!

love your videos you put in the effort and your are knowledgable YOU ROCK NICE WORK HERE

[doruksimsek]

That was a great comparison, thanks bud!

[GuardiansCreed]

why even make the standard...This guy makes it sound like a Ford escort vs BMW...What the heck. hope they didnt pay him for this biased video

[DreTrades]

So in your opinion, is the Pro model worth 2x the price of the standard?

Hi Fro! I'm a long time subscriber and fan. Have to say that this is probably your most misinformed comparison videos that you have done. The drone for 699 was DJI's $999 drone for at least a year if not 2. So the advanced is upgraded build quality all the way around. You are also comparing 4K to 2k but where in the world is the 2k upgraded drone for $999? It is the same build and remote as the 4K. Even if you didn't have one you should have gotten a hold of one to show all 3 drones. All 3 are great choices it comes down to what a person can afford. Pros use to use the now $699 version but like all things DJI made improvements to all around on the newest offerings. Thanks and blessings.

2024: I just bought a P3 Pro, 2 batteries, DJI backpack, vision 2 remote and accessories for $275. 😂
