Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “DJI Phantom 3 Standard Review”.
There’S a popular quote about the value of tools: good equipment, ain’t, cheap and cheap equipment. Ain’T good. Neither part of this court applies to the Phantom 3 standard just under $ 500. This model is the entry point in the Phantom Lynam released a few months after the professional model. You’D be forgiven for looking at what’s missing.
Yes, there are a few features absent, but unless you’re comparing them side by side, you may never notice the standard only uses the u.s. GPS satellites for positioning and drops the visual positioning entirely. Hover stability suffers a little, especially in the wind, but the aircraft remains incredibly easy to control live video and telemetry is achieved via Wi-Fi downlink. Instead of DJ eyes, light bridge technology and you’ll see some latency in frame drops, especially in a saturated Network area.
The view is clear enough to set up a shot, but you should hesitate to use the live view alone to navigate through close obstacles recorded. Video footage is stable and clear, even if it loses the 4k resolution. Aside from its cheap feeling, controller and weak mobile device, clip everything about the standards smacks of quality if you’re on a budget and need a camera in the sky, the Phantom 3 standard offers incredible value.
