#DJI PHANTOM 3 UPDATE#
More Drones… What are the best drones now?Įvery month we update what we believe are the best drones on the market. This often will lower the price another $100. We would even recommend a refurbished Phantom 3 Standard. If you are looking to save money then the Standard is still an excellent choice. The Standard is still a very stable machine and the range isn’t a big deal if you only fly within line-of-sight. The Phantom 3 Standard is still an impressive machine. The better camera, better stability, and better range are are worthy additions to the quadcopter. DJI’s recent release of the Phantom 3 SE makes you wonder if the next DJI Mavic won’t be the Mavic 2, but rather the Mavic SE.
#DJI PHANTOM 3 UPGRADE#
The Phantom 3 SE is definitely an upgrade over the Phantom 3 Standard, but the question is it worth an additional $100? The short answer is yes. We would recommend picking up a second battery. The flight time for both quadcopters remains 25 minutes. You can see the Vision Positioning System on the bottom of the Phantom 3 SE Flight Time The Phantom 3 SE does also utilize the same GPS system as well. The Phantom 3 Standard does not have a Vision Positioning System but does utilize GPS to help keep it stable. This will help the SE be more stable both indoors and out. The Phantom 3 SE adds a Vision Positioning System. Both machines can capture still photography at 12 MP. It has the capability of shooting video in 4K at 30 fps. The Phantom 3 SE camera is also superior to that on the Phantom 3 Standard. However we suspect that DJI has updated this technology significantly in order to achieve such fantastic results. Like the Phantom 3 Standard, the SE still utilizes WiFi technology rather than DJI’s advanced Lightbridge connection. The Phantom 3 SE improves the range to almost 2.5 miles (4 km) vs. We will break down the differences between the two models.

The real decision comes down to whether or you should purchase a Phantom 3 Standard or spend the extra $100 to buy the SE.

If you are going to do that you will need some training and a Part 107 license. If you are thinking of getting a Phantom then you may be considering making some money with your new drone.

The longer flight time and cheaper price tag put the SE ahead of the Pro. We would recommend the newer SE over the Professional. The SE tops the Professional in flight time with 25 minutes to the 23 minutes of the Professional. The Professional has a 5000 meter range, where the SE is “limited” to 4000 meters. The Phantom 3 SE is very similar in many ways, in particular to the Phantom 3 Professional. How does it compare to the older Phantom 3 Advanced or Professional? DJI may have discontinued these two models, but you can still find them pretty easily. You can purchase a Phantom 3 SE from DJI for $599. The Phantom 3 SE is an upgrade to the Phantom 3 Standard in many ways. DJI now sells two different versions of the Phantom 3.
