THE BAD: DJI leads a new user to believe all the built in guidance system will do everything for you from takeoff to landing. And it will, until it doesn't. That WILL happen, not an IF - it is a WHEN... You have 3 sensitive components talking to each other (controller / drone / smartphone) using both Wi-Fi and radio, plus very sensitive onboard compass and GPS. This overly complicated plumbing will fail at some point and it can happen even a few feet away. At that point, you need to switch to manual control immediately - and hope you have time. I have had compass errors happen 3 feet off the ground in auto land and the dreaded "crazy flying meat slicer with 4 exposed blades" needed to be grabbed by the landing gear to stop it from hitting things as it got confused and would not respond to the controller. BTW: A pair of chef's slice proof gloves is a great idea at take offs and landings, don't ask how I know.
RULE NUMBER ONE: Always be prepared for the unexpected! Like flying a private plane the phrase "hours of calm punctuated with seconds of panic" applies here. Best advice for new pilots - learn to do everything manually first - especially landing - because at some point you will need that skill and need it FAST! Also never ignore the long boring preflight compass calibration. I do it every time I set up for flight, but my terrain is always varied from flight to flight. DJI says it isn’t necessary unless you move the unit over 100 miles – or change terrain dramatically, which I do almost every session, from lake, to desert, to high mountains. I like calibrating because not only does it re calibrate your compass - more importantly - it warns you if there are magnetic disturbances. If there are anomalies showing in the software messages - my advice is pack it up and move elsewhere, or fly totally on manual control. Ignore any of those warning at your own risk. Compass or GPS warnings for a new pilot mean WAIT or RELOCATE.
SAFETY: Never forget how dangerous these machines are. 3 pounds with spinning blades plummeting from 400 feet is a deadly weapon. Don't fly over people or roads. Warn folks nearby to be aware of the drone. A drone, under the right set of circumstances with a simple malfunction could kill a pet or a human. It's like owning a gun, be responsible or don't own it. Never do like these YouTube folks and fly it miles away to see how far it can go or push the limits to see how fast you can swoop over a crowd of people. That is inviting disaster.
THE MIDDLING - should the worst happen with the Standard, and you make a fatal flying error - more likely when a new pilot – then you are out only $400 or so max, instead of a grand, and actually less if you sell the remaining controller and battery etc. on eBay. Every piece of a DJI is worth money and easy to sell, so pick up the pieces if you can. If you can find your crashed drone DJI may fix it under warranty if it was the drone's fault, but don't count on it. DJI at this point in time has horrible support, if that changes, it would be wonderful. I would buy a 3rd party crash warranty over DJI's coverage any day of the week, if that is important to you. They are sold here on Amazon BTW...
NICE PART: Battery lasts longest of all the DJI P3 models in the Standard version by 2 - 3 minutes because of fewer sensors. If you step up to a P3 Pro - batteries and case can come along (But not P4) and at $100 plus per battery, that is good news. Eventually you will want 3 or 4 batteries so you can fly about hour with juice to spare for landings, trust me.
BOTTOM LINE: Most of the "Bad" I listed applies to any drone, from $49 to $5000. You can watch at least 3 videos on YouTube of folks crashing $3000 DJI Vision Drones on their very first flight, despite the Vision having much more tech and more sensors and collision avoidance. Sensors or not, if you tell it to go into a wall because you are disoriented and unfamiliar with the controls, it's going to do what you say. This sad story happens every day. This is why I don't encourage a new drone pilot to drop a grand or more on a first drone. Fly a while first and you will never get that disorientation that can cost you a fortune. Instead you will understand the controls and the principles and react instinctively to the inevitable unexpected situation. In my opinion at this time, most any drone any cheaper or similarly priced as this is not a "real" drone, so you can't take as many of the skills with you when you step up. Many drones in this price range have nothing better to step into. Once you learn to fly a DJI and get familiar with their software and controllers - you can fly their whole line pretty much. I haven't yet mentioned the excellent camera that makes me often joke "for the price of a GoPro, I got a comparable camera with a stabilizing gimbal that flies." Put all this together and that is why, in my opinion, this is the BEST DEAL in drones right now - by far...

A few points if you are on the fence between the phantom 3 standard and the advanced/pro models:
- The phantom 3 standard appears very stable in GPS mode (which is the default mode). From what I have seen, it appears as good as the higher end models. However, the advanced/pro may have an advantage in conditions where the GPS satellites may be more obstructed, and they are better indoors due to their visual and ultra sonic ground sensing. This is not an issue for me, as I am planning to use it mainly outdoors and in open areas, but if you plan to use it indoors the standard is not the right version for you.
- The range seems very good so far. We live in a residential area of San Jose, where one would think there should be lots of interference, but it worked just fine out to 300 feet, at which point it was only a tiny spec and farther away than I was comfortable based on visual flight operation. But judging from the signal strength indicator, it will probably go at least twice that distance, and with very simple modifications (parabolic antenna dish, called windsurfer wifi booster, search for DIY version) people have added another 50% range, which is much farther than I think I would ever want it to go. One more thing, to get a good range, the antenna has to be parallel to the drone antennas, which are in the legs, so typically the antenna should be vertical and the controller as a whole should be held into the direction of the drone. If the antenna is pointing at the drone horizontally, you will likely get a smaller range.
- The camera takes great video. It works well in daylight, and from I read may be slightly worse than the advanced in lower light conditions, mostly an issue if you plan to do indoor flights, for which the standard is not well suited anyway. The camera video resolution is by default 2.7k, I found that my laptop did not recognize that format, but it was fine when I switched to 1920x1080, which still looks great and saves a lot of memory for recording. Switching resolution is easy to do in the DJI Go app, there is a button on the right when in camera view.
- The live video was a little lagging and choppy, possibly due to my very simple phone, so this would be a problem if you plan to fly purely by viewing the monitor. I believe legally you are required to fly the drone always in line of sight, and that's what I am planning to do, so this is not a deal breaker for me. Iphones are supposed to be better from what I read, but I did not test that. The advanced and professional models are supposed to have a lot better live streaming, and that may be their biggest advantage, besides their very large range.
- In summary, for me, the standard is more than what I was hoping for and I am glad I save $400+ vs. the higher end models.
Another few points on compatible devices and the reported setup issues:
- My simple Samsung Galaxy Ace phone from Walmart worked just fine, which makes me believe most android devices with a reasonably current OS version should be OK. I downloaded the DJI Go app from Google play store and it installed fine, which I think is a good indicator that it will work. If you are in doubt, you can try to install the DJI Go app on your device before you buy the drone, to give you some confidence your phone/tablet will work. BTW, my phone only has a 4 inch screen and as a result some of the menus don't show perfectly, but still good enough to use it for flying the drone. A larger screen will certainly be better, though.
- The setup was fairly easy, mainly because I read a number of articles on the web about it. Once you power up remote and drone, you can connect through wireless and most likely will get a message to update the firmware. It will tell you to connect back to your home network, then you download the firmware, switch wifi back to the drone, and continue the download. The drone will make all kinds of beeping sounds and after about half an hour it will be done and tell you to restart, meaning turn off drone (press the power button briefly, then for 2 seconds, and then it took a few more seconds until the red light was off, indicating that is was saving the file, I believe), then turn off controller, then turn the controller back on, then turn on the drone (press the power button briefly, then for 2 seconds). I had to cycle the power twice before the process was complete and it would let me connect to wifi again. After that the DJI Go app lets you see the camera image and you are pretty much good to go. There was some mentioning of compass calibration, which I still have to do. It flew just fine without that calibration, though. Also, there is another message that the controller firmware may be out of date, but I believe that is for the advanced/professional version, because the app did not ask me to update it for the standard.
Top reviews from other countries
Ok, si eres "nuevo" en esto de volar drones ten en cuenta que tal vez (ojo, tal vez) deberías empezar por uno de rango inferior como el Syma X5C. La razón es sencilla, con uno más pequeño uno puede cometer ciertos errores que con el PS3 serían extremadamente dolorosos (en términos económicos y hasta físicos) además que esa experiencia será fácilmente 'traducida' cuando uno tome en sus manos una herramienta poderosa como el PS3, pues a pesar de que son muy distintos, a la vez son muy parecidos.
Pero supongamos que a pesar de ser 'nuevo' en este punto has decidido adquirir el PS3, espero que te sirvan estos consejos:
PROS
- Incluye una guía rápida para que empieces a disfrutar el quadcopter lo más rápido posible. Es necesario tener conexión a internet pues deberá actualizarse el firmware de la tarjeta controladora de vuelo. Si eres nuevo por favor que tu primer vuelo sea en exteriores.
- Incluye una memoria de 8GB Class 10 para que inmediatamente disfrutes las tomas en alta calidad.
- La App de control DJI es tanto para iOS como Android. DJI ofrece muchos tutoriales para sacar provecho de las funciones del Phantom.
- La App cuenta con un simulador, de esta forma podremos practicar las funciones especiales. Tal vez lo incomodo es que es necesario tener el drone activo para que se pueda usar.
- Al ser un quadcopter muy popular hay bastante información.
- El control remoto tiene la capacidad de ajustar la sensibilidad de las palancas de mando.
- Fácil de configurar la opción retorno (cuando se pierde la señal durante cierto tiempo entre el control remoto y el quadcopter, este regresará al punto programado, sí, esta función se incluye en el simulador).
- El PS3 tiene sensores que permiten saber la velocidad del viento, la altura, la distancia entre el control remoto y el drone y toda esta información se despliega en la app. Además que puedes usar el Google Maps o Google Earth.
- 16 m/s la velocidad máxima (sin viento y en modo A)
- Velocidad ascendente máxima de 5 m/s
- Velocidad descendente máxima de 3 m/s
- La batería activando la cámara permite un tiempo de vuelo de alrededor 20-22 minutos. Este tiempo puede variar por múltiples factores, velocidad del viente, temperatura, etc.
CONTRAS
- En mi caso me costó mucho quitar la protección de plástico del gimbal (el estabilizador para la cámara). Aunque para ser justo, tal vez estoy dramatizando mi torpeza, pero no está de más recomendar tener cuidado ya que el gimbal es el que hace la "magia".
- Cuando compres una micro SD primero checa si es compatible. En caso de que no encuentras información te cuento lo que me pasó. En el manual solo mencionan que puede usarse una micro SD a partir de Class 6, y que se recomienda usar una Class 10 USH-1 --- Así que confiado, compré una de 64GB Kingston Class 10 USH-1 ¡y no funcionó!. Simplemente la cámara del PS3 no la detectaba, la razón es que hay que revisar otro parámetro y es el de la Velocidad de Escritura y ese parámetro en la micro SD que no funcionó en el drone (pero sí en otros dispositivos) es de 10 MB/s. Para cámaras de resolución tipo 2.7k o 4k se recomienda una velocidad arriba de los 10 MB/s, en mi caso estoy usando una Lexar LSDMI32GBB1NL300A.
- El aterrizaje manual, por favor presta atención a esta parte.
En resumen, es una poderosa herramienta que vale cada peso. Las horas de placer están garantizadas, y ahora recomiendo lo obvio: Leer el manual, date un tiempo y disfruta de la maravilla técnica que está en tus manos.
Por último y por favor ATENCIÓN:
Ten en cuenta al momento del vuelo el Combination Stick Command (CSC). Es un comando que no se puede bloquear y básicamente significa que podemos desactivar los motores en pleno vuelo. La información que detalla el CSC viene en el manual.
PD
El INAH tiene reglamentos estrictos acerca del uso de estos dispositivos en los edificios a su resguardo. Para poder realizar tomas en esos edificios será necesario adquirir un permiso. Recomiendo leer las restricciones de vuelo que aplican en México o en el país que lo quieres usar.
I had a problem with the firmware upgrade and contacted DJI who were great. Diagnosed the problem and immediately sent me a shipping label. P3 repaired and returned no charge and is working well. The more I fly it the more fun I am having.
Very satisfied and pleased with my purchase.
Es un excelente aparato que sin embargo no es recomendable para personas principiantes ya que su maniobrabilidad depende de tener ciertos conocimientos. En cuanto a la duracion de la bateria: hay que cargar la bateria del dron durante aproximadamente dos horas y media para tener una autonomia de unos 20 minutos; la bateria del control se cargará por completo en una hora y servira para dos ciclos de carga/descarga de la bateria del dron.
Definitivamente es un producto que recomiendo a ojos cerrados que sin embargo no es una buena opcion si este va a ser tu priemer dron.
