Phantom 3 Standard– This newly drone is completely inspired by the miraculous success of the DJI Phantom 3 Professional and Phantom 3 Advanced.
The camera could be the favorite for those people who are eager for aerial imaging . Well, the camera is quadcopter in which the loud 2.7k HD video at 30 frames per second video recording option is integrated and if 4k video option was included then we would undoubtedly commit it as professional system. The camera can shoot at resolution of 12mp both DNG Raw and JPG formats. However, this newly model is little impressed by its former versions (Phantom 2 Vision+ controller) that’s could be the reason but the remote controller is completely an updated version. What about battery? The battery of this DJI Phantom 3 Standard is also sounder and can run the drone flight for 25 minutes based on GPS stabilization.
DJI Phantom 3 Standard could do so many things easy for you because this drone got some astonishing features like ‘Follow me’- when you have the remote controller in your hand then this drone can follow you in every locations to record your works in video along with some fabulous mode like ‘point of Interest’ and ‘waypoint navigation’ and these modes have their own use. A Wi-Fi is built in, help of which the Pilot can see the things the camera focused on.
The other functions are its video Full HD 1080/30p/25p/24p and 720/60p/50p/48p/30p/25p/24p options. There’s a max video bitrate of 40Mbp, and both MP4 and MOV file formats are supported. The live video view via the DJI Go mobile app, however, is limited to 720/30p quality.
The affordable price of this drone camera is $799. See this drone at B&H

DJI Releases Photography And Video Drone Designed For Beginner Pilots
DJI today released the most accessible flying camera (‘drone’) the company has ever created.
Designed specifically for first-time pilots, the DJI Phantom 3 Standard brings DJI’s signature attention to stability, flight, and imaging to make capturing aerial images easier and more accessible than ever before.
“Based on the remarkable success of the DJI Phantom 3 Professional and Phantom 3 Advanced, we wanted to create a new drone that addresses people who are curious about aerial imaging, but not quite ready to commit to a more professional system,” said Frank Wang, DJI’s CEO and Founder. “The Phantom 3 Standard makes it easy to get into the air to take great photos and videos.”
With a newly designed and integrated camera, the DJI Phantom 3 Standard records up to 2.7k HD video at 30 frames per second using a high-quality 94 degree distortion-free lens. The camera also shoots still images at 12 megapixels in both DNG Raw and JPG formats. Using a standard WiFi connection, the DJI Phantom 3 Standard allows pilots to see what their camera sees in near real time in HD, capture photos, start / stop record for video and adjust camera settings all from the updated DJI Go app.
The remote controller is an updated version of DJI’s previous Phantom 2 Vision+ controller, with an integrated WiFi range extender and wheel to angle the camera.
Based on the Phantom 3 design, the new DJI Phantom 3 Standard includes GPS-based stabilization and flight times up to 25 minutes using DJI’s interchangeable Intelligent Flight Batteries for the Phantom 3 series.
The DJI Phantom 3 Standard will be compatible with intelligent flight features including Follow Me, Waypoint Navigation and Point of Interest flight planning.
Follow Me – The drone intelligently follows the user based on their orientation.
Waypoint Navigation – Allows users to set a multi-point route that the Phantom 3 flies automatically while leaving camera control (pan and tilt) to the user. Users simply have to pull back on their controller and the Phantom will retrace its path to the beginning.
Point of Interest – Lets users define an object that the Phantom will fly around in a circle with the object framed perfectly in the center – capturing a cinematic shot that is otherwise difficult to fly manually.
These intelligent features, originally released for DJI’s professional products, will be available through a firmware upgrade for the rest of the DJI Phantom 3 series and the DJI Inspire 1 in coming weeks. They are also available through SDK apps already developed by third party DJI developers.
