Literally exactly what I wanted from a video. Exact title I searched for, clear, to the point and well laid out !

I bought a p3 standard last week and was incredibly impressed, mainly by how stable it was and the video quality. However as I live near a radio tower I really struggled with reception and video quality. Plus in your footage at 3:54 you can see whilst panning it really stutters. The advanced version has the option for 1080 at 60fps so hopefully if I fim in that in the future by getting an advanced model it will be smoother.

So selling my standard after a week and going or the advanced.

I have been flying a P3S for a couple of years and love it. I'm a Pt 107 pilot and also fly a P4P+ and actually trained on an Inspire 1 during a 3 day class. I just purchased a P3A refurbished for less than $500 as a backup to my Standard. I looked at a P3P but honestly never need the 4k camera. I find 99% of the video I'm taking is at 1080 or even 720. And while the 20mp photos of the P4P looks great I have really not had any problems with just the P3 12mp stills. I have found that the P3S has problems in built up suburbs and urban areas due to interference from wifi routers. This has delayed some real estate jobs I've gone on. While I fly LOS I found the Lightbridge to work much better in these areas versus the wifi used on the P3S. I'm planning on using my P3A as my primary with the P3S being relegated to backup.

Just purchased the Advance second hand for £210 on eBay, I'm getting really excited now

[davidpacheco]

in europe they limit the range of the drones. Exemple : phantom 3 standard is 300 meters and advanced is 2.5 km

[Flightstar]

Is the advanced the same as the professional? Another video states the the professional is $1200

[mohamedgaaloul]

The camera on the advanced is made by Sony (as the professional version) but on the standard is not.
The Sony camera has a dedicated thread allows the ND filter installation but the standard camera has not🤔

In dens city, my standard only reach 250m, lost signal and self come back to where it took off.

[timothynxele]

Hi, i am in South africa and my Advanced only flys 500m. Where can i increase the range

I wanted the phantom 3 standard but I am a long distance pilot and need the phantom 3 advanced. I need the cleaner video playback from distances of 1 to 2 miles. And it dont look like the phantom 3 standard can do it. great video comparison. Now I will pull the trigger and get the advanced for sure. I subbed

[armincolovic]

advanced or standard, which is better to buy

[dronevisionz]

nice vid surreal i got a question thou can the advanced controller work with the standard version

[grimsbycleethorpesdashcam]

Anyone looking at buying a phantom 3, just get the advanced, if you get the standard you will regret it like I did

[sayaksark]

hi, first of all great video.
just wanna know if i am flying on a hill surrounded with trees, will i get problem from the auto return home, or will the drone consider the hill as a flat surface and what height should i put for the safe to return home when im on the hill...thanx in advance

[danielvdombrowski]

Is the Phantom 3 advanced also considered the Phantom 3 SE

[grifce]

You must not have hear of magic power 5 for phantom 3 standard
And antenna upgrades and 2.4 and 5.8 sinal amplifiers a combine...cost about 150 upgrade if your a good shoper.you can buy standards now around 250 to 300 complete.
Camera is 2.7 good but not 4k.
Unless you get one w 4k.
