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
+photographerjonathan That kind of review would be three times longer and three times as boring. Jared makes short videos which give you a general idea of products without getting you bored
+Gaston Seijas I don't know about you but my time is too valuable to be wasted on someone trying to make entertainment out of nonsense. Review lacks facts and pertinent information..3 dozen better videos out there on the same subject...E for effort but he should stick to things he knows and leave this stuff to someone with background and experience. Already too much lip service on youtube regardless of subject matter.
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...
+MrFiresticks Not according to DJI... "2.7K video camera12 megapixel photos3-axis stabilization gimbal" there is no 4k with the Phantom 3 Advanced or Standard...
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.
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.
Doruk Simsek the standard is actually same as professional, and 2.7 k is really good! Some things he said are false, he just doesn't know anything about it. You better look at an other youtuber for advice.
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
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!
+Grizzly Vision It really depends on what you're trying to film/achieve. If you don't need a really long range then I'll say go with the Standard. If you need long range but don't need 4k then go with the Advance. And if you need both 4k and long range then obviously go with the Pro!
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.
Is it possible take the video system out off dji frame, cut the motor to save weight and mount on airplane as a separate system just to have hd fpv video signal
according to amazon, i thought it was weird that the advanced has a lower resolution than the standard but you're right after checking DJI's official site. Do you know if the advanced has the same remote as the professional? TheGrade
If I were you I would go with the Advanced model. It has the same features as the Professional but the camera shoots 2.7k instead of 4k which most likely is not that big of a deal. The standard has bad controller, it is not nearly as stable without the positioning sensors, and it doesn't cost that much more. I would not spend the extra money on the Professional unless being able to shoot in 4k is important to you.
you forgot about the lightbridge technology. I thought you where going to cover that whilst talking about the remote controle. This lightbridge technology gives you better fpv video quality and further flight posibilities.
hello. i just bought phantom 3 standard. so it is really new. do i have to update the firmware? how will i know that i have to. any comments from viewers?
+Mohammed Alawi Generally, you are right. However, strictly speaking, they are not same. The motors in standard are better and a kind of updated version as you mentioned. Recently, the motors of the pro version were replaced with the updated standard ones shown in the video.
I’m completely sold on the Professional over the Standard. NOT!! Pay double the price for something that looks a little different or has a slightly different feel. Come on Sideshow Bob, who are you fooling
Now that DJI slashed it's prices I'm unsure if I take the P3 advance and the P3 4k (almost Standard like features but in 4k camera) both price tag at $799. If I go for distance it maybe advance but for video/camera quality I'd go for 4k. But up to now I'm still undecided yet. Help!
+Trevor Phillips I did go for the P3 Advanced for longer video transmission range, since internet sucks here in PH uploading 4k will take me forever. :P
+Dehner de leon the professional has mor distance range and better video quality i have the standard is pretty good just depends on what you gonna useit for or need for just for fun get the standard and you can get an antena to improve the range
might want to mention the differences in distance. phantom 3 pro does like 3 miles whereas the basic does 3/4 of one mile. that's a huge difference if your looking for fpv.
+California Phantom yes. Talking from experience, GPS should be turned off when flying placed where the signal is sketchy. it can result in sudden movements that you didnt tell it to do. :)
MK ENTERTAINMENT switch your controller to Atti mode or attitude is what its called. A mode. DAF so its in the middle. BUT, if you lose signal to it, it will not return; its actually a bad idea to do this. You WANT GPS mode, and if GPS fails it automatically switches to ATTI mode. The only reason you would need to switch it off is if your flying indoors or somewhere where your not getting any GPS signal. If you flying and the quad starts flying erratically then hit return to home button, and if it doesn't seem to be responding to that THEN put it in Atti mode. Atti mode is a last resort of sorts.
+Louie Kotler Agreed. I think every camera I have ever heard about from GO has been pretty overpriced... I guess that because they were first(that I know of) to come out with a decent camera that does what it does and do it pretty well.. they got in at the right time... I bought all the fancy plastic attachments that I could find... They got me all right... Garmin has one too.. not as small as the GP..
At least Gopro is starting to realizing that they're charging too much. When the Hero Session first came out it was $400!! Now you can buy it from them for $200 which is actually very reasonable.
Do either of these have object following, not just follow the controller? Or can anyone recommend something with object follow in the 500 price range if there is such a thing?
I have seen video from both the standard and the pro, and having seen both, I would think a person would have to be daft to get anything but the 499.00 standard, given the new faa regs and flying out of eyesight.
im not sure which one to get i need a drone so i can film a music video with my friends like professionally ig, would the camera quality be a big difference? suggestions anyone?
DJI standard is $400 on eBay $500 on Amazon with an everything included bundle. In my opinion the only difference is the light bridge everything else doesn't matter. You won't be flying more than a kilometer away with your $1000 drone anyway.
The build quality on both drones is the same. The motors on that professional are the older style vs the newer style on the standard, which are actually more efficient. If you were to buy a new professional model today it would come with the same motors you see on the standard in this video. The standard also weighs nearly 100 grams less which is fairly significant. Good video but a bit of misinformation and guesswork.
oh and the standard has better motors lol, they changed the advanced and Pro to the standard motors. you get 1-2mins with the new motors and the new motors don't have vibration on firmware 1.6 like the older motors.
What is the difference between Advanced. standard and professional phantom drones? 1) What is the maximum distance they can fly up to? 2) What is the lifespan of their batteries? 3) Do all of them have GPS? ( in the event of danger, will they return to its original take off point?)
Max height in us legally is 120 meters illegally it's 500. My batteries still run great no issues. And yes all return to take off point in case of emergency. I own pro and standard
You forgot to mention the huge difference between wifi and light bridge!
David Philp Precisely.
So right! I got it a while ago and I am impressed by everything. Only downside is range.
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

Are you gonna shoot some demo footage of each?
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.
Thank you for this video, I have always wanted to buy one and now I think I now know which one I will get.
Victor & Nozomi which one did u get bro?
Great video well explained.
Metal vs aluminum...?
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?
yes and yes!
Chad Ponder thx m8
No problem!
Did u get Standard? How is it?
As a hobbyist I cringed a bit
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.
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!
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

That was a great comparison, thanks bud!

Thanks man..This is all I needed to hear.
Matt D thank you for this it has really given me confidence with buying it
So in your opinion, is the Pro model worth 2x the price of the standard?
love your videos you put in the effort and your are knowledgable YOU ROCK NICE WORK HERE
how far going dji phantom 3 standard. ......
can you tell it....
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.

What's you're opinion on the dji osmo?
I love your reviews!!!
SOS! As a freelance filmmaker with a tight budget, should I get the standard or pro?
+Grizzly Vision It really depends on what you're trying to film/achieve. If you don't need a really long range then I'll say go with the Standard. If you need long range but don't need 4k then go with the Advance. And if you need both 4k and long range then obviously go with the Pro!
Are the batteries the same on the standard and professional? Can they be interchangeable
Dirtlife K yes
I love my standard!!
The 2nd was not a suggestion IT'S THE LAW how about the Camera quality? I’m gonna choose one of them.
I'd like to know about the distance in the radio control differences
Lousy review, you didn't give the standard enough credit

Are batteries interchangeable between Standard and Professional?
you forgot to tell the distance range, very important if you are a Pro

Thanks for the video very helpful
Great video thanks!
Will the iPhone 6 Plus fit on the standard remote?
Thnx
it's on sale allot of places for $399. right now...
Great Video! You sold me.
how does the standard fly using wifi when outside somewhere remote?
+Andrew Wakeman you will need to bring your wifi router with you
No you don't. It connects as a wifi signal to your phone or small tablet and that connects you to the satellites
***** no wifi need router
when he said its gonna fly around like its drunk. That made my day
Very informative, think im going with the pro.
Can I change my camera Phantom 3 Standard to the best HD cameras such as the camera or camera 4K. ... ?
Great review!
Do you know if you can swap camera in a P3P ? I mean put a 2.7k camera and gimbal assembly in a P3P ? It´s cheaper...anyone help please....

doesnt the advanced only shot in 1080 and have a shorter range than both the standard and professional
Nope, not sure where you got that from buddy. The advanced is pretty much a professional with a 2.7k camera
according to amazon, i thought it was weird that the advanced has a lower resolution than the standard but you're right after checking DJI's official site. Do you know if the advanced has the same remote as the professional? TheGrade
TheBrothersCompound I'm not sure about that, but I think they're the same :)
HelloDo you know if the advanced version is worth the extra £300 or so than the standard?
If I were you I would go with the Advanced model. It has the same features as the Professional but the camera shoots 2.7k instead of 4k which most likely is not that big of a deal. The standard has bad controller, it is not nearly as stable without the positioning sensors, and it doesn't cost that much more. I would not spend the extra money on the Professional unless being able to shoot in 4k is important to you.
Thank you very much for your answer
The Lightbridge system is another big difference between them - the standard does not support it and still relies on wifi to connect drone and remote
you forgot about the lightbridge technology. I thought you where going to cover that whilst talking about the remote controle. This lightbridge technology gives you better fpv video quality and further flight posibilities.
hello. i just bought phantom 3 standard. so it is really new. do i have to update the firmware? how will i know that i have to. any comments from viewers?
+maestro kumag Please join a group on facebook :)
The app will notify you when you need to update.
There's no difference between the motors, they are the same, but the one in standard drone is the latest version
+Mohammed Alawi Generally, you are right. However, strictly speaking, they are not same. The motors in standard are better and a kind of updated version as you mentioned. Recently, the motors of the pro version were replaced with the updated standard ones shown in the video.

lmao at sideshow bob
Are the motor actually different??????
No I have both. I started with standard as a gift when I first learned how to fly quadcopters
Great video, but you missed the most important difference. the light bridge distance for the Professional is greater!
Cheers,
Can I add light bridge to my phantom 3 4k??

hey genius, you don't fly indoor with gps mode turned on... unless you want a dji branded pancake.
might want to mention the differences in distance. phantom 3 pro does like 3 miles whereas the basic does 3/4 of one mile. that's a huge difference if your looking for fpv.
+California Phantom yes. Talking from experience, GPS should be turned off when flying placed where the signal is sketchy. it can result in sudden movements that you didnt tell it to do. :)

good review thumbs up
thx super review
thanks for this video
Bruh who else noticed the paper in front that he is reading from :/ .....
Do either of these have object following, not just follow the controller? Or can anyone recommend something with object follow in the 500 price range if there is such a thing?
Remote view 'FPV' for standard is only around 1-2km where as advanced/pro is 5ks+
Lightbridge is a major PLUS in the Professional as it is able to stream 720p video back down to the remote.
Do you and Austin Evans know each other because your vids are very similar
Liked this video mainly based on your epic hair. Lol
I have seen video from both the standard and the pro, and having seen both, I would think a person would have to be daft to get anything but the 499.00 standard, given the new faa regs and flying out of eyesight.
i got the standard and it acually is very very good great quailty i've had it for 2 or more years now and it the battery hasnet changed at all
The footage on the standard still is brilliant, DGI did good with the 3
im not sure which one to get i need a drone so i can film a music video with my friends like professionally ig, would the camera quality be a big difference? suggestions anyone?
Super helpful thanks
Don't forget about the lightbridge
2024: I just bought a P3 Pro, 2 batteries, DJI backpack, vision 2 remote and accessories for $275. 😂
You said the standard would only take a smaller phone. I can put my 6s plus in the clamp , a larger phone.
I like your Nikon reviews but drones? Not your thing at all I'm afraid :(
Can you fly without smart phone
Yeah but you wont be able to set home incase you lose it
You need a smart phone, tablet, ipad, there's an app dji puts out for the phantom! With out that app you cannot fly the drone.....
William Texeira Thank you William.
I chose the phantom standard because there isn't as much buttons on the transmitter than the DJI phantom pro
chownk de vich khlo ke denda ii review
DJI standard is $400 on eBay $500 on Amazon with an everything included bundle. In my opinion the only difference is the light bridge everything else doesn't matter. You won't be flying more than a kilometer away with your $1000 drone anyway.
And the dji phantom 3 standard is only 400 bucks now :D
Fairex where?!
amazon
the price is lower on both now
The build quality on both drones is the same. The motors on that professional are the older style vs the newer style on the standard, which are actually more efficient. If you were to buy a new professional model today it would come with the same motors you see on the standard in this video. The standard also weighs nearly 100 grams less which is fairly significant. Good video but a bit of misinformation and guesswork.
Heads up everyone as of 1-6-2016 DJI is having a sale for their 10th anniversary $500 for the standard and $1000 for professional.
I thought they were made from the same plastic, Are they? I think he is being a little too hard on the standard, It's a fine drone.
You forgot the biggest difference.... The huge range difference!
oh and the standard has better motors lol, they changed the advanced and Pro to the standard motors. you get 1-2mins with the new motors and the new motors don't have vibration on firmware 1.6 like the older motors.

What is the difference between Advanced. standard and professional phantom drones?

they are pretty much build the same way. equal strength. but the pro version is just a lot better at everything

good one! but you forgot a really important thing, you can shoot in RAAAAW with pro 😀😀
+Indrek Käsper u can't shoot raw with the pro. The maximum bitrate is 80mbps witch isn't remotely close to 4k raw. for 4k raw u need at least 1gps

are you okay?
