Great drone very happy with it!! The best bang for your buck for sure. I know a lot of people who got the base model and saw this later

I bought the Phantom 3 for my husband for Christmas 2016. We use it to check water troughs and the location of livestock on our ranch. Last July we received 8 inches of rain in one night. This caused flooding on a normally dry ranch. My husband flew the drone over a pond and had a switch error.

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

Just and AWESOME quadcopter great range flys very easy

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 ($709.00 at DJI) , in almost every regard. The only real difference is that the Professional captures video at up to 4K quality, while the Advanced is limited to 2.7K. The Professional is our Editors' Choice, but if you don't need to shoot at 4K (or if you want to spend a bit less), the Advanced is a fine alternative. DesignThe Phantom 3 Advanced ($559.00 at DJI)  is physically identical to the Phantom 3 Professional in almost every way. Only a small cosmetic change—the Advanced uses silver stickers on its propeller struts where the Professional has gold—separates the two. In terms of features, the two drones are also twins. They're both flown using the same remote control and smartphone app, which now supports some automated flight fe...

The DJI Phantom 3 Advanced is one of the best drones on the market thanks to a bevy of features and 2.7K video recording.

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

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.

I understand it's not the sellers fault, but I find this frustrating and I'm not sure If i will buy again...

This had the possibility of being a great investment, taking wonderful photos of everything around my town; The gim works great you can hardly tell you'er moving the drone; I wish this would have lasted more then a few flights

Motor caught fire during flight!!! "Smoked and then melted plastic then flipped" killed drone and single motor kept spinning, had to pull battery out; Can't return item! Possibility just lost over 799.00

I picked this up a couple weeks ago and have made a few flights. I learned to fly on a mini quad and a 250 class racing quad so I understand the background on these quadcopters, how the flight controllers work and how to operate them. NOTE: Update the firmware before flying.
