I love this drone it is everything I hoped it would be. I spent a considerable amount of time reviewing it before I purchased. I would highly recommend it for anyone wanting to get into drone flying.

I'd give it a 5 but nothing is perfect. Truth is the ribbon cable going to gimbal was really squashed and other 2 cables tangled in it. I worked LONG to get it all back correct. Flys great! (Over 10 miles now). Camera works good even though it trembles and vibrates at times. (Not blades) Great drone and no regrets with it. Nothing comes close for price.

The controller has issue with the left joystick , when pushed all the way down to make drone come down(reduce altitude) the stick actually stays down & does not return to middle position. I am going to evaluate before returning for replacement, because DJI wants the complete drone returned as well,, a LOT of packaging,re-boxing,shipping & time.

The Phantom 3 is awesome. The set up of the actual drone itself along with how easy it is to use is awesome. Highly recommended for the drone enthusiast

I’m thoroughly impressed with this drone. Updated the firmware before anything. Watched some YouTube videos to get familiar with the controls. Calibrated the compass. Set auto take off. Unit takes off and hovers in place. Pull the left joystick and up and away she goes. Very stable hovering in moderate breeze. GPS does a great job holding the drone in place. The video is so amazingly stable. I’m so impressed with the 3-axis gimbal and the camera. The quality is better than 1080 (2.7 K). Flown it about 10 times so far. Transmitter charge last two or three flights. The DJI app is great. Lots of information. I tried the auto return to home yesterday and it worked as advertised. Love it.

First I couldn't get it to operate off of an old tablet we had in stock; so I bought a new phone. Now the new phone says it needs updates. I am not a computer person. I just want to take aerial photographs for my advertisers.

We received a defective product the first time but the customer service team was great working with return and then our new product was on back order but we were notified weekly of the status and now we have our product and it works amazing! Only complaint was several times I called it was hard to understand the person on the phone due to where they were from.

I am very happy with the DJI Phantom 3 Quadcopter. I'll be flying it in Northern MI this summer.

Never thought I'd purchase a drone. And that's true now. Purchased for my son at Xmas. Well worth the cost. It's an amazing device, and easy to use. It's a lot of fun.

This is so easy to fly. Charged battery, installed app and away she flew. I bought this to pair with my DSLR to make short films. Having a drone like this will give my movies size and scope - thus making them appear to be made on a bigger budget then they were. Took my buddy out and he fell in love. Plus at this price it's a no-brainer.

I believe the Phantom 3 Standard drone is be best value for the price out there. It doesn't have all the fancy features of some of the higher end drones but it has everything you need for basic drone flight and quality photos/video. It has GPS positioning for reliable hoovering ability and a number of safety features including return-to-home and for low battery or lost connection. The DJI Go app makes operating the drone and capturing, saving, and sharing media easy. I recommend this drone to anyone.

This drone is awesome, especially for the price. I was afraid I would miss not having the 4K camera and the extended range, but I can honestly say that I don't miss them too much. There is just so much to love about this drone. The HUD on the iphone app is amazing, and gives lots of detail. The drone is very stable in reasonably windy conditions, and takes great photos and videos for most applications. The Point-Of-Interest feature creates awesome pans around a given spot or area - you can adjust the height, diameter, and speed. Sure, there are things I would like to have on this drove - like some sort of night vision or powerful lights for night flying (not very practical, and not something found on any drone I know of), a servo that would allow a button push or mechanical arm to be attached (again, not practical but it would be fun), added flight time (can just buy more batteries), additional range (there are kits to extent the range, but I don't think its that big of a problem - the range is still fantastic), the ability to fly in the rain (not practical, I know - but that tells you how much I enjoy the drone, that its a bummer when I can't fly it because its raining outside). The range easily reaches 400 ft high and 1000 ft away. Signal strength is indicated by the HUD, and the drone will "come home" if it loses signal. There are a ton of features I still have yet to try. If you've got the money to spend, go for the Phantom 4 (or one of the higher priced 3's). But if you are wanting great bang for the buck, you should not shy away from the 3 Standard. It is awesome.

Bought for our 9 year old. Was worried it would be too complicated, but he was flying it in no time. Looks sturdy, controls are easy to understand. Highly recommend.

Fantastic drone. Very easy to fly. I strongly recommend first viewing the numerous youtube videos about setup, flight tips, etc. They are very helpful. I spent a few hours viewing the videos and reading reviews before flying because you cannot afford even one mistake. By the time you first take flight you will feel more prepared. This is incredible fun, and the video is amazing! I shold also mention that my phone is a Samsung Galaxy S7 android and the interface with the drone has worked flawlessly. I have had no problem whatsoever.

Awesome beginner quad. 2.7k is more than enough. 500m range is almost out of site so no big deal.

The DJI Phantom 3 Standard is everything a beginner and a seasoned veteran R/C'er will want. It will fly itself, take off and even land by itself if you want. If not, you can man the controls and fly with or without gps assistance. The camera is clear and responsive. Don't hesitate to buy this. If you are reading this, you already are wanting a drone. This one CANNOT be beat for the money.

I have flown R/C helicopters and planes for almost two decades. I truly expected the DJI Phantom 3 Standard to be almost the same to fly as a helicopter. I was plsently surprised. The Phantom 3 Standard is perfect for both beginner and seasoned R/C'er. This can be flown by anyone, even if they have never touched an R/C model. It truly will fly itself if you want it to. The camera is 2.7k and really shines and is perfectly stable. Adorama shipped it on Monday and I received it on Thursday. Thanks Adorama and thanks DJI. Don't second guess buying this, just go ahead and then thank me later.lol

I've always wanted to do aerial photography. Finally these got affordable and I'd been wanting one for years. It's easy to fly, has good flight time, good camera controls and navigation options. Very steady in wind. If money was no object I'd get a Mavic for portability.. That's the main disadvantage of the Phantom 3, but otherwise it's a joy to use. Video looks great. Stills are ok, but I'm not sure if that's my lack of experience or the camera. Not quite up to my M43 set up, but with a little tweaking in adobe Lightroom they are pretty good, but not as good as I expected....still it's a very affordable way to get aerial photos/video. Prop guards are time consuming to install, but recommended for beginners, but then defeats the need for a backpack.

After having flown the toy-like quads for a while (Syma products, mainly), I wanted to step up to something which really enabled aerial video and photography. I learned to fly using devices with short range (100m or less) and no stabilization, no GPS, or any failsafes. This is a great way to get the feel of flying. Sure, you get a better experience in every way with the Mavic Pro, but it's also backordered and twice the price. This is a great basic device. It has a fantastic camera (rock-solid stable, no lens distortion, and good colors) and is dead-simple to fly. Put it somewhere, it stays there. What a change from the low-end world! Also, it's fast. I got it up to 35mph with the wind. For what this device has, it's a great deal. However, know that you're passing up on many key features of newer devices. Range: No Lightbridge, meaning, it only goes about a half mile in good conditions (wifi, cell towers, power lines, and buildings all reduce range). New ones can do 3 miles plus. Size: This is a big device, and you're not taking it "on the trail". Battery: It's a few minutes less than the newer ones, about 20 minutes with decent wind, more in calmer conditions. Smarts: It has no avoidance or indoor flying features that new ones have. This is strictly an outdoor device, best flown with plenty of open space. I'm giving it 5 stars because for its price, it's great. If you have the money to spare, go for the Phantom 4 or Mavic Pro. It's this, but better.

Built-in Wi-Fi, 3/4-Mile Range
Linking your mobile device to your Phantom through the DJI GO app is easy with an enhanced Wi-Fi range extender that's built right into the remote controller. A high-powered 5.8GHz transmission frequency keeps the Phantom responsive, even when flying at distances of up to 0.75mi(1.2km) away.
3-Axis Stabilization Gimbal
With DJI's industry-standard gimbal stabilization technology, your camera is held perfectly stable no matter how you fly. This 3-axis gimbal makes complex shots and hovering for long exposure photos easy.

Auto-Return Home
When GPS is available, your Phantom 3 remembers the exact spot that it took off from. Wherever your aircraft is flying, tap a button to have it return right back home.
Failsafe
If the Intelligent Flight Battery is running low or if your Phantom 3 loses the connection with your remote controller for any reason, the aircraft will automatically return to the takeoff point and land safely.
