Greatest toy I ever purchased. Worked right out of the box. Very easy even for a beginner. Took out in windy conditions and it hoovered in place like no wind.

DJI's drones weren't the first ones to start buzzing around overhead. But as the popularity of remote-controlled quadcopters has continued to grow among consumers, DJI's Phantom series of drones appears to be on its way to ruling the skies.

Much easier to fly than not only the previous models, but competitors too; Produces higher quality, more stable videos; Improved controller makes it easier to fly and to shoot images

Indoor flight is still difficult; Camera gimbal doesn't swivel, and the camera still isn't removable

Ritz delivered on time..was everything i thought it would be. Love the OPT feature and the no fly zone warning. I live near a "B" airport. Very helpful. Took me only ten minutes to calibrate, update firmware and learn to fly..dont really know how one could crash this.

The DJI Phantom 3 Advanced might still be pricy, but the combination of excellent camera and flight performance and a well-designed app and controller make this simple-to-fly drone an easy recommendation.

DJI's Phantom 3 Advanced delivers excellent full-HD video; The convenience and safety features allow beginners to get flying fast; New sensors and an additional satellite navigation make flying indoors and outside more stable than its predecessors.

Battery life, while average for its class, can feel short at 20-ish minutes and extra batteries don't come cheap; The camera is permanently attached to the drone; Android device support is limited

DJI currently has three versions of its Phantom 3 drone: the Standard , Advanced and Professional . While there are several important differences between the entry-level Phantom 3 Standard ($799, £649 or AU$1,299) and its two linemates, the feature gap between the Professional and Advanced amounts to two things.

Just got in before the price rise with this one it which was delivered to my door within just 5 days of placing an order. The ebay thing was just all too hard in the end DWI made it so easy to order online giving me the best possible price Will definitely buy from DWI again soon Steve Gold Coast...

I was sceptical as to what drone to buy or buy one at all but having flown this Djl Phantom 3 advanced the ease of flying for a novice like myself and the fantastic quality of the video images has impressed me enormously .

I completely blame Action Gear for my unwaivering addiction to flying my drone! Guys, how am I supposed to sit at my desk and work when I just keep staring out the window dreaming of flying through the air and imagining the epic videos I can create. Its all your fault! .

I've had several drones or (quadcopers) over the years and this one simple tops it all! Absolute brilliant piece of kit, handles well in 25mph wind nothing like I've ever seen before in a remote control drone.

Handles well in wind; camera quality; expandable on board memory; flight time; dedicated controller

Gimbal slightly vulnerable due to being exposed

DJI is leading the way in consumer drones , both in popularity and performance. The Phantom 3 Advanced ($999.99), the middle child in DJI's current generation of entry-level aircraft, is just as capable as its big brother, the Phantom 3 Professional , in almost every regard.

Easy to fly; Very stable in the air; Smooth video capture, even when in motion; 20mm wide-angle lens; 2.7K video; Raw and JPG still capture; High-quality Live View feed; Built-in GPS; Return-to-home function; Automated flight modes

No 4K support; Limited battery life; Wide-angle lens shows some edge distortion
