It's April '23 and after many years of flying govt stuff, I decided to unpack & dust-off my old Phantom 3. Your video is totally awesome. Thank you for taking time to produce it-!! PS...it's interesting how far technology has evolved since the Phantom era---
Am interested in the Phantom 3, have little to no experience and am doing the research for now... thank you for taking the time to publishing a very informative, in-depth overview / demo. Gives me the impression that this model would be an excellent entry level choice. Thank you!
It's Still a great Quad to date2019 Ive been flying the one ive had since 2017 and it is solid flawless and my favorite GO TO QUAD. IT HAS NEVER LET ME DOWN. WHEN EVER I Need IT TO DO WHAT I HAVE NEEDED IT TO DO A BAD TO THE BONE BAD ASS QUAD.
Its still a GREAT QUAD 2019 i have all the dji ones that MATTER.THIS ONE is still my FAVORITE QUAD.STILL FLYING THE shit out of it 3yrs later. STILL GOING ON STRONG. A BEAUTIFUL QUAD.DJI BEST ONE THEN AND NOW.A PLEASURE TO OWN AND FLY. SINCE I GOT IT.
Hey buddy. Interesting review. Did you know that DJI recommend you do the compass calibration first horizontal like you did, but then vertical with the camera facing DOWN. It's designed that way to be less stress on the gimbal.
Just got a phantom 3 from my neighbor.. bit difficult to DL DJI GO but I got done.. it's a 7 year old drone.. any suggestions would help people as I'm 90% new to drones.. only had the cheapos
Because most of the time most people's drones get confused and crash is the water. Look at videos of it happing. It mostly happens when your flying low.
2016 OU DATED Are their any current DJi phantom 3 tutorials out there that use the latest DJI Go software The remote screens & screen function buttons in these 2016 you tube videos not relevant to the remote screen now present with latest DJI Go app download
I' ve had mine for about 2 years now. It records locally in Hi Def but it streams in 720p. The 'Lightbridge' telemetry is pretty good. I have had my drone out o 1100 meters on a clear day with no obstructions before it started to get flaky. Normally your good to about 600 m in most conditions. They key is to have the home properly recorded before takeoff and have the auto-return-home settings (altitude especially) properly set so you wont lose the drone if you lose telemetry.
Vertically, I set my limit to 400 feet for safety reasons (and going higher is useless, you can't see anything), but you can go multiple KM. I have gone horizantally 3km myself still with great connection on the control and video transmission, and you can get a couple more KM. But in a city you will have greatly diminished range due to all the interference.
I don't know if they are still manufacturing brand new P3A's right now (of course they still support them, will repair, support with apps, etc). I got mine a few years ago for around 800. Prob could be cheaper now, although at the time I thought that was a great price when a new P4 was like 1200 or 1400.
Apparently the advanced came out when it was just 1080p but they added firmware to make it also shoot in 2.7k. 2.7k is higher resolution than 1080p if that is what you are asking, but any DJI phantom 3 advanced you purchase will be able to shoot in 2.7k
Pretty good, the delay is not noticeable at all, only time I ever noticed some lag was when I was flying 2.5km away and went over the top of a hill, where there was about a 2 second delay and connectivity was poor.
You did make a great buy, definitely the cheapest drone (and especially with black friday sale) that is as functional as ones that are twice the price. The p3 standard has bad range and a bad remote. Very happy with my p3, but I bought a mavic because I really needed that portability.
Not sure how things are in euros. For me portability is a huge factor so the mavic was really the only thing that allowed me to take my drones on things like hikes, and I can also have it on me at all times so I don't need to prepare it at all.
It was $800 a few years ago. Not sure what it is now, or if they are still making it. DJI certainly still supports it, but again I'm not sure they're making new ones. Specifically cause they have the Phantom 4 and each of it's types (regular, advanced, pro), and then all the new drones it has: the mavic, the mavic mini, etc etc etc. I do think they have a Phantom 3 in production, which is likely an upgraded phantom 3, but last I checked it wasn't any cheaper than the $800. I bet you could find a used one for a decent price.
Great video. I just purchased a P3 PRO and can't wait till I get it. Quick question, can you use a Samsung 10 inch tablet with this? Also do you need cellular service on your device to see maps. Thanks.
A 10 inch should be good, I don't personally have an ipad but I think they are 9.7 inch and my friend put his in and it fit. You can browse maps when you are on wifi, so when you go out without wifi they stay there.
A bit of mist and fog would be fine if it rolls in while your filming and you land immediately, but I would not recommend trying to start filming like this. Moisture is the problem, and if it gets in the motors or the circuit board, it will fall out of the air. I have done this once before and it was fine, but I really don't think its smart to do this. As per wind, it can handle it, but it will make getting smooth shots harder, and if the wind is too strong, return to home might not make it back.
Very nice review man, also have a phantom advance, it's just a great machine, in my opinion is one of the best price quality ratio drones. Big like and subscribe from me.
Yep, thats how you start the motors manually. Just pull and hold. You can do the same to turn them off, just don't accidentally flip it over when powering it down (done it before).
Camera is a bit laggy when it shows on your phone. However, this is *not* what the picture will like like when you pull it up on your computer, etc. There will be no lag, will look very smooth and professional. Long story short: what it shows you on your phone is not the quality of the recording, it's just quickly streaming what it is seeing to you. Source: he mentions this, and I have a P3A.
I'm folding hands in front of you I'm touching your feet please give me a drone I am very poor i tried a lot but i am not able to buy a drone Whenever I see a drone flying, I cry a lot I wish I had a drone tooyou please help me please
Well he covered a lot of ground so..best thing to do is to pull it up on your laptop, and then rewind it quickly every time you want to have him repeat what he said.

This was exactly the type of review I was after, thank you so much.

2024 I love it
Should I get it in 2021?
Did you ever get it ? They are legendary

NICE. Why the cap locks though? Cmon it's 2020 (or was 2019 when you wrote this), everyone knows cap locks comes across as yelling.
Hey buddy. Interesting review. Did you know that DJI recommend you do the compass calibration first horizontal like you did, but then vertical with the camera facing DOWN. It's designed that way to be less stress on the gimbal.
I love your place .... Nice video
Does it have a Return To Base feature when it loses connection?
Just got a brandnew Phantom 3 Advance & end up on this video. will be really helpful for my future Motovlogs, thanks a lot!
Drones help enhance vlogs so much, every vlogger should have one!
What’s has better video quality ? Mavic dji air or this drone?
that drone support 1080 on 60FPS ?
Why is my camera black and white?
Dw I fixed it
I’m thinking of buying this one or either the DGI Mavic mini can someone please tell me which one is the better choice it would be much appreciated
Just got a phantom 3 from my neighbor.. bit difficult to DL DJI GO but I got done.. it's a 7 year old drone.. any suggestions would help people as I'm 90% new to drones.. only had the cheapos
How much your firmware
Hi there! do you still own this drone and do you still use it? I'm looking at getting a used one.
Thanks Guy. Enjoy this drone. A few good tips you provided.
Would like to practice with the follow me option.
Does it have obstacle avoidance??
Great review I’m gonna go buy one now
At the end. I am not sure whether the drone will turn it off automatically unless there is no juice left. Is that you mean?
Dude your video explaining was really what I was looking for! Thank you so much!
No problem, I just got my mavic pro, video should be coming out in the coming weeks like this one.
Well done Man! I will be your subscriber number 100 😎. Great review
Hey I have flown over water with sensors ON nothing happens, not sure why you keep yours OFF?
Because most of the time most people's drones get confused and crash is the water. Look at videos of it happing. It mostly happens when your flying low.
what's the price and where can l buy
also have a night vision camera
Where u buy that
2016 OU DATED Are their any current DJi phantom 3 tutorials out there that use the latest DJI Go software The remote screens & screen function buttons in these 2016 you tube videos not relevant to the remote screen now present with latest DJI Go app download
What is the distance that you can see the live video to your mobile phone while flying?
I' ve had mine for about 2 years now. It records locally in Hi Def but it streams in 720p. The 'Lightbridge' telemetry is pretty good. I have had my drone out o 1100 meters on a clear day with no obstructions before it started to get flaky. Normally your good to about 600 m in most conditions. They key is to have the home properly recorded before takeoff and have the auto-return-home settings (altitude especially) properly set so you wont lose the drone if you lose telemetry.
@@jm9371 Good call. I've had mine for about 2-3 years now as well.
Dose the video always show up shaky on the phone
Thanks for nice info and video.
Nice review, well done!
What's maximum distance horizontally and vertically? I have the p3 sitting in my cart...need to know if I pull the trigger lol
Vertically, I set my limit to 400 feet for safety reasons (and going higher is useless, you can't see anything), but you can go multiple KM. I have gone horizantally 3km myself still with great connection on the control and video transmission, and you can get a couple more KM. But in a city you will have greatly diminished range due to all the interference.
DroneCrazy thanks for the quick response...I shall pull the trigger!!!
Hey if you haven't done it yet, please use my referral code. It is no cost to you but really helps me out. click.dji.com/AGZk2FzhI6wti2gOANw?pm=link
Como funciona con la tablet
Is it right that the standard doesn't have light bridge and this one does
Yes that is correct. That is the reason I bought this one over the standard (as well as the controller is way better)
ZeCaxy what is light bridge pls
Please Reply... Is dji phantom 3 advance battery compatible with dji phantom professional??
Jerry Vanchhawng Yes
hey how much price that and how can l buy it
I don't know if they are still manufacturing brand new P3A's right now (of course they still support them, will repair, support with apps, etc). I got mine a few years ago for around 800. Prob could be cheaper now, although at the time I thought that was a great price when a new P4 was like 1200 or 1400.
Is the 1080p the same as a 2.7k camera ?..if not, what's the difference ?..thank you. ☮
Apparently the advanced came out when it was just 1080p but they added firmware to make it also shoot in 2.7k. 2.7k is higher resolution than 1080p if that is what you are asking, but any DJI phantom 3 advanced you purchase will be able to shoot in 2.7k
Can This Drone Be Used Without A Phone?
Negative, unless you mean using a tablet. You need the software that the phone or tablet has on it, that DJI made specifically for this.
At 2:11 you can see the phone number on your drone just letting you know
Shh... maybe thats why I have been getting all those robocalls recently
Very good video would like to see more, thank you
Thanks, once I am done my exams I will work on my Mavic Pro Review which will probably done in 2-3 weeks from now!
the camera should be facing down in the calibration mode not pointing upwards
I am watching this in awe because I have thus drone, but I can't fly it for the next TWO WEEKS because of the weather, which is really unprecedented
Got some footage on my page flying around the city, let me know what you think!
how much does a phantom 3 drone cost in state
The phantom 3 advanced, what I have, costs about 800$ US but you can probably get a much better price on sale these days.
hey nice video got one question do you know if this control can work on the standard version of the drone
how it is the delay between camera and screen?
Pretty good, the delay is not noticeable at all, only time I ever noticed some lag was when I was flying 2.5km away and went over the top of a hill, where there was about a 2 second delay and connectivity was poor.
DroneCrazy thanks! Im waiting for my phantom 3 advanced , I hope I made a good buy
You did make a great buy, definitely the cheapest drone (and especially with black friday sale) that is as functional as ones that are twice the price. The p3 standard has bad range and a bad remote. Very happy with my p3, but I bought a mavic because I really needed that portability.
DroneCrazy yes, I got mine for around 750€ , mavic is a great choice too

Thank you.
I have one of these... But I'm selling for the mavic.. Cant wait for the portability
Yea I did the same thing, the new mavic is fantastic, does everything this (and the phantom 4) does but lighter.
Whats its flight time?
With the P3A, and a battery in solid condition, you can typically fly 21-23 minutes.
Thank you, I just Subscribed!
How about weather, I mean is the Phantom 3 water resistant?
A bit of mist and fog would be fine if it rolls in while your filming and you land immediately, but I would not recommend trying to start filming like this. Moisture is the problem, and if it gets in the motors or the circuit board, it will fall out of the air. I have done this once before and it was fine, but I really don't think its smart to do this.

is this drone 4k?
Madison Dillon 2.7k

Good vid pal
Is it a scam on the dji app
Is what a scam? The dji app is free (although useless without a DJI product), and the drones are top notch. What scam are you talking about?
when the drone is ready... .... pulling joy sticks South east (L) + South West (R) = X
learnt that .. while waking up . this morning .
Yep, thats how you start the motors manually. Just pull and hold. You can do the same to turn them off, just don't accidentally flip it over when powering it down (done it before).
Despite your monotine drone speaking you have shared some great information. Thank you from Australia DC Kid
the app that I got on my tablet the dji go i see it cost 200$
What? The app is free. This makes no sense.
many good
Bro you live in Toronto? Thats awesome! :D
Super movie!!!
the camera is this laggy, or your edits faild?

review is good, but that censor thing on top of drone is annoyingm
Probably would’ve been a great video if I were even intermediate or if you would speak slow Lee
Billy Madison?????
That could have been really helpful, but talking so fast and going through all the settings so quickly made it pointless
Well he covered a lot of ground so..best thing to do is to pull it up on your laptop, and then rewind it quickly every time you want to have him repeat what he said.
👍🙏🙏🙏🇵🇷😘🥰😫
you are a mouse I can't hear you
DUDE U MUMBLE I CANT UNDERSTAND A WORD YOU SAY
Looks like a toy
Work on your video audio.
What do you mean? Is there any part of the video where I could have improved the audio?
It sounds like you are speaking away from the mic . sometimes a clear voice and sometimes not
@@dronecrazy3367 I could hear fine.
many good
