honestly after watching a bunch of bs videos and taking what information i could get from them then coming to this video, this one has helped the most. straight forward and is basically all you need to know if you actually wanna fly it. thanks guys
I've watched several Phantom 3 vids, and this one is one of the best. You showed the app functions more clearly than I've seen in the other ones, the calibration procedure included a couple things I didn't know before, and you DIDN'T get all cutesie with your dialog which takes away from the information we need. Thanks!
Just yesterday, a man with the exact name allowed me to fly a drone. THIS EXACT KIND!! I was soo thankful, and am thankful right now. No words could begin to describe howawesome drones are, and how greatful that I am!
+Irun Mon haha. i hope we get better batty tech so the flighttime is somewhere around 1-2 hours per battery. would be so cool. aerial timelapses and stuff.
+Irun Mon No kidding. The drone should self-calibrate. What was it about "warming up" in the video? does it use vacuum tubes? So, it it doesn't get any GPS signal at all, can you still fly it full-manual? Can you also point the camera at any angle you want?
Good job. I learned a lot. For anyone watching, don't even have a mild tip over in that pretty soft sand. He was very careful, experienced, no worries. With my Blade 350 Q3, I was careful, and inexperienced and dumb. I ended up tipping it over, sand in the motors, my remote even. Don't ask. Then very intelligently I went to fly again, two motors didn't start. And I could barely turn them by hand -- crunch. But a lot of blowing, and I got the sand out, no problem. Inside I had a can of compressed air for this sort of thing and everything cleaned up. I was impressed. Not good treatment, but it worked out fine. Don't go there! LOL
Thanks for the great overview video. The Phantom 3 is still a great tool for filmmaking, and with the release of the Phantom 4 it is now extremely affordable. Thank you DJI!
First week of flight on a used Phantom 2 Vision (not vision plus). The Phantom 3 is way more advanced than what I'm using. In fact when it gets out of sight I turn the remote off and it comes home. Looking fwd to getting the 3 one of these days, great video!
thanks man you've helped me decide on which drone i should get i would get the phantom 4 but its 2 expensive for me and after i seen the price i didn't know what drop to get and now i know thanks a lot man
Interesting video! I wish drone apps also showed the weather conditions so I did not have to check them on smartphone apps like AccuWeather or Weather by Tomorrow.
Interesting video! Does any flyer use a specific drone app to check the wind conditions near the sea? I just check regular weather apps like AccuWeather or Weather by Tomorrow.
+spwb2k Where are you seeing a Phantom 3 Professional for $700? $1,300 for this model shown in the video. You may be looking at the standard which is not as capable and has different control/video.
+spwb2k I doubt 7 year olds would last long before crashing it. Unless someone is helping him. But hell, even adults wouldn't need much if they had this, I'm doing my best to save money for this.
Made a very simple video demonstrating. enjoyed it. My question is quite clear, and probably is confirmation. the Phone is your FPV screen. Will the Holder support a Apple Mini?
How newbie-friendly is this drone? I've been looking around for one that I can eventually fly using my smartphone or a tablet. I've never operated a drone before so I'd like to know!
IAA015 This drone is not a toy and should not be handled like one. You cannot fly this drone with your smartphone or tablet. I can recommend getting a smaller drone to try to fly with first, before you take the leap up to a full size drone like this. I have the Hubsan X4 myself, but any similar drone is great for learning. It might be that the parrot drones or at least one of them, are meant to be flown with your tablet or smartphone - though be advised of its limited capabilities compared to this drone from DJI. Good luck and fly safe! :)
If you have never flown i highly suggest getting a cheaper model. Or better yet just get yourself a syma 3 channel heli. Learn the basics of flying and once you master the basics this is a great user friendly upgrade and easy to use. (Aside from knowing your basics)
farmertml Please. It is NOT EXTREMELY EASY. I have been flying airplanes for years, and also dabbled in helicopters. Flying a drone without the aids the DJI system provides is not easy at all not something you MASTER after 1-2 days. If I wasn't sure you'd crash, I'd challenge you to fly in full manual mode and see how that goes. Try NOSE IN or SIDEWAYS hover, and be ready for a nasty surprise. If you fly in fully assisted mode, yes, you can fly around no problem and when something is about to go nasty, you can more or less let go of the controls and the Phantom will stop what it is doing and just hover. But you cannot always rely on these systems and you would need to be able to fly manually. ...and that is why I suggest you get a smaller drone to practice with.
Great video! Do you have any experience we the RC not responding? I just fired up my Phantom for the first time in months and updated the firmware like it suggested but now the RC is dead! Green lights on, connected to drone but not responding at all ...
You move the left stick left or right, there is no actual left and right to move the camera itself, you have to move the entire drone. The camera will only move up and down when in flight.
I noticed at the end of the video you hovered the Phantom then gripped the leg - do you switch the motors off the same way (pull down left) as you would if you landed on the ground? I don't really fancy landing the Phantom on sand.
Great video! BTW.. just bought mine a week ago.. I got out of Beginner Mode.. but am still restricted to 500m distance tops.. How do I get to fly it further..? I want to shoot some sites a ways away that are free of people..
Steve Koppel If you go into the settings you can change the max distance in the pilot app. The ceiling (vertical) is 500m though and that can't be changed, although you can lower it. I prefer to be able to see the machine at all times, so rarely go higher than 100m and keep my distance to generally less than 400m. I am flying an Inspire 1, but the pilot software is pretty much the same. (haven't heard of any differences.) My aerial videos are on my other channel if you search on youtube for flyjapanco Have fun and Fly safe!
Very cool. I just bought two of the phantom 3's for me and my friend. I also will be using the Iphone 6plus and was wondering if the view was going to be big enough. Does it work well for you?
Well i just got a standard phantom 3,now can i run this on a laptop as i do not have smart phone or can u just manually fly it,i wish i hada known this before buying it..thanks

people in the future watching this be like: "only 25 minutes flight time? and what's that warm up and the rituals at the beginning? lol"
+Irun Mon haha. i hope we get better batty tech so the flighttime is somewhere around 1-2 hours per battery. would be so cool. aerial timelapses and stuff.
GranVlog
forget 1-2 hours, I want 12-24 hours :p
use hydrogen or something like that, or even better antimatter lol
+Irun Mon i like your thinking
+Irun Mon No kidding. The drone should self-calibrate. What was it about "warming up" in the video? does it use vacuum tubes? So, it it doesn't get any GPS signal at all, can you still fly it full-manual? Can you also point the camera at any angle you want?
+jsprite123 vacuum tubes is so 50\60s. haha
Very nice, down-to-earth, real-world review. Keep up the great work!
Best DJI Phantom 3 Vid I have seen so far. Nice work.

Thanks for the great overview video. The Phantom 3 is still a great tool for filmmaking, and with the release of the Phantom 4 it is now extremely affordable. Thank you DJI!
Thanks for explaining the app. My gosh, im disappointed DJI doesnt have a better tutorial on the subject.
First week of flight on a used Phantom 2 Vision (not vision plus). The Phantom 3 is way more advanced than what I'm using. In fact when it gets out of sight I turn the remote off and it comes home. Looking fwd to getting the 3 one of these days, great video!
+WINGSUIT QUADCOPTER with the 3 you can simply press a button :D its safer. woho!
Thanks for making this so simple and informative man 100000 stars..everyone else is view is just showing off their new toys but you thumbs up !!!
I like that sandbeach and the water so nice.
We recently got this for our JROTC class & it looks cool
thanks man you've helped me decide on which drone i should get i would get the phantom 4 but its 2 expensive for me and after i seen the price i didn't know what drop to get and now i know thanks a lot man
Phantom 3 with 4K camera, much less than the P4.
Got mine today.
This has to be the best video I have watched good detail and info. Well done
Great video I now have a phantom 4k its great
Just ordered mine! Super excited
Great video, one of the best ones i have seen on the dji phantom 3
wow this brilliant. I have a few flights on my P4 and I am still terrified flying it.
Great catch landing at the end
That VPS system is so amazing.
After watching your presentation I'm ordering one for myself. Thanks...good jop.
What an informative video! Great tutorial for flying my new Phantom 3. thanks @Dronesetc!
Great video mate , easy , common sense tutorial, no bull, 👍
it is good to see that Chinese companies have come a long way in innovating and being market leaders.
Great real world testing! Sub added! Thumbs up!
Thank you for this extremely clear and concise tutorial.
Awesome video and thanks for all the helpful tips-the walk through the HUD aspect was really great to see
Thanks for the video it was very helpful ! I purchased my phantom3 and this answered every question I had for setup
Interesting video! I wish drone apps also showed the weather conditions so I did not have to check them on smartphone apps like AccuWeather or Weather by Tomorrow.
Definitely getting one for next summer love them so much
Thanks! I love that you get right into it.
You deserve so many more subs!!
Thanks...about to get my 1st drone, probably will go with the new Phantom 4
The phantom 4 is going to epic. Specially since its going to have the sensons to avoid crashes.
+Turo Jr Guerrero yeah looks pretty cool, think I may have to pull the trigger on this one...
.that is very very nice.....i would be happy see my people enjoy
The Phantom is so awesome....I would love to have one of those!
Very good! All I miss is actual video footage clip from the drone (quality of picture)
Great Video .... Very easy to understand and very helpful for newbies like myself.
Thanks so much for putting together.
Great tutorial man
Awesome review! One of the best I've seen!!
Your an awesome camera drone pilot you should try or if you already have get into stunt flying drones
I'm trying to convince myself to buy the phantom standard!! You guys hooked up fousseytube!!👌🏻👌🏻👍😁
Awesome tutorial. Thanks.
Do you still have the video recorded from this flight? It looks stunning I would love to see it in it's entirety.
Great video recipe my friend! I can learn more from your video.
Thank you so much for sharing us....
Grea video on firt flight.. well done
What a fantastic Gadget! Great Video also, thank you!
perfect tutorial for beginner! thanks for the clip
Great vid. Can pick up the standard dji 3 for about £275 good second hand now . Reckon this would be a good starter for myself.
Fantastic drone!
Nice video thanks
Nice taking
I want to get it in 2020, but like sadly it's not sold out anymore, phantom 3 is still amazing drone
Interesting video! Does any flyer use a specific drone app to check the wind conditions near the sea? I just check regular weather apps like AccuWeather or Weather by Tomorrow.
Nice clip
I have one question
How about attach a lightweight Powerbank on the drone and plug it in to a charger slot on the drone
Is that possible?
Very good tutorial.
$700 isnt cheap but kids of all ages would hardly ever need another toy after this one!
+spwb2k Where are you seeing a Phantom 3 Professional for $700? $1,300 for this model shown in the video. You may be looking at the standard which is not as capable and has different control/video.
DJI Phantom 3 on Amazon for sale US$699.
spwb2k
Thats the standard, not the professional.
The professional is the one used in this video.
+Felipe Deidan proffesional is better to recording a proffesional 4k video
+spwb2k
I doubt 7 year olds would last long before crashing it. Unless someone is helping him. But hell, even adults wouldn't need much if they had this, I'm doing my best to save money for this.
I GOT ONE TODAY, so HAPPY, just a little shocked! Wasnt esecting it
Same!
ME TOO! Im so scared to fly this thing

Great vid, thanks for sharing
this thing is beautiful 😍😍😍😍
thanks for the video! Good Job.
Great tutorial !!!
nice video! is this the professional version?
...........Thank You Very Big............... from Koh Kong, Cambodia
sir thakyou for the review the drone
hey do you need to set compass every time you fly the drone , or you do it only once
Made a very simple video demonstrating. enjoyed it.
My question is quite clear, and probably is confirmation. the Phone is your FPV screen. Will the Holder support a Apple Mini?
Yes up to an ipad 2 or air
It looks so awesome! :)

Try the Syma x5c-1 its a 60$ drone, verry nice starter with a stable flight and a hd camera :)
If you have never flown i highly suggest getting a cheaper model. Or better yet just get yourself a syma 3 channel heli. Learn the basics of flying and once you master the basics this is a great user friendly upgrade and easy to use. (Aside from knowing your basics)
IAA015 It's extremely easy, it's my first drone and I have had 0 problem. After 1-2 days you'll have it mastered

awesome tutorial. I lol'd when I heard the 'premium beat.com' jingle. Someone didn't buy their music! lol
+Dilandau88 - just like you didn't buy the tutorial, right dummy? stfu
Hey Danny Vice, the only one in high school who had lice heeyyyy long time no see.
Tha name of song I need it
Great video! Do you have any experience we the RC not responding? I just fired up my Phantom for the first time in months and updated the firmware like it suggested but now the RC is dead! Green lights on, connected to drone but not responding at all ...
Do we Need to calibrate it each time we use it or only for the first try
What drones do you recommend that has good flight time and good range? Pretty much everything that this drone has never-mind the price.
Good review!
Looks like nice drone.
Great vid I love my phantom
That was excellent. Thanks.
Omg I wish I had one of these drones. But dang theyre so expensive (at least, for a teen that is.)
thanks... your video is just awesome
GREAT VIDEO PLUS THE WAY YOU EXPLAIN THINGS CLEARLY.
THANKS KEITH KUHN
KK MOTION PICTURES
ALSO ON TH-cam
KEITH KUHN relax dude
nice, so how do you pan the camera to look around while the drone is airborne and stationary?
You move the left stick left or right, there is no actual left and right to move the camera itself, you have to move the entire drone. The camera will only move up and down when in flight.
Thanks. Very informative :)

sick video i want one!
What is the range of which you can have a high fps, live view of your phantom as it flys? Is it similar to that of the standard?
Drones Etc. great video. I've one question. What's the app's name you used in your Iphone to take the photos?
cool video dude, thnx for info :)
Very cool. I just bought two of the phantom 3's for me and my friend. I also will be using the Iphone 6plus and was wondering if the view was going to be big enough. Does it work well for you?
Geo Sto iPhone 6plus works well. A sunshade is necessary on those really bright days.
Well i just got a standard phantom 3,now can i run this on a laptop as i do not have smart phone or can u just manually fly it,i wish i hada known this before buying it..thanks
Are you the guy that epiclly saved your drone from the water running like usain bolt? haha I think that beach is the same of the video I saw
Thanks Awesome Video !!!!!
Do you have to turn the drone 360 degrees to set up the compass every time before you use it or just the first time you use it?
You should do it each time.
Great video .. thank you
Holding the altitude down for more than a few seconds will shut the motors off. Will this happen also in mid flight?
