The Best Phantom 3 Professional Review

For a long period of time, The Phantom 2 Vision+ was considered to be the leading prosumer-level camera drone that was available in the market. This was until the release of the Phantom 3. Let us look at the reason for its popularity in this phantom 3 professional review. Even though the Inspire One provided a good alternative for the professional users, The Phantom 3 is by itself an upgrade that has increased. However, it seems to have gotten a complete overhaul and now the professional model looks far much better as compared to the Inspire One despite being sold at a low price. Here are some of the key features that you need to know about

Upgraded flight gear

While the Phantom 3 looks exactly as the Vision+, there are also some great changes. The low-re transmitter has been done away with for the DJI Lightbridge unit that is quite superior and is able to stream videos to a controller room.

There also seem to be a notable improvement in the GPS system. This is on top of the GLONASS unit that has been added. A camera that faces downward and an ultrasound unit that provides their added stability near the ground and there are claims that it is easier to use it for indoor use. However, practically, the Phantom 3 hovers in a stable way outdoor even where the coastal breeze is fairly strong and the visual positioning system ensure that it is more stable for the indoor use.

When flying, the drone is also a bit more responsive as compared to the Phantom 2. However, the flying experience is almost similar. The drone’s top speed is around 60km/h and this is quite decent for shooting a motorcycle or car that is in motion.

The drone also comes with a controller that is held by hand and is similar to the one of the Inspire. It connects to the smartphone using an USB cable rather than a Wi-Fi signal and this means that it will be easier on your battery. It also comes with several other buttons including one for the return-to-hone button as well as several gear for camera control that will allow you to start and even stop video and take some still shots if you don’t have a table tor phone connected. This can prove to be very important when the battery has run low. This is on top of a new tablet/phone holder that can extend and be able to carry a little 7-in tablet rather than a full sized ipad.

Flight mode

When it comes to this feature, not much has changed. There is the P mode that enablers GPS/VPS/GLONASS stabilization and this is where most Phantoms spend a lot of their time.
