Best Drone for Beginners ? | DJI Phantom 3 Standard

[@ActionMediaProductions]

Hi Jeremy, just wanted to say that I'm about to purchase a Phantom 3 Standard tomorrow, and have been watching tens of videos and just came across yours. I like your delivery, you're easy to listen to and you seem to genuinely care about your subscriber's experience, me inclusive.

[@jeremyjudkins]

Thanks a lot. I loved the Phantom 3 Standard. The Mavic and Phantom 4 Pro and my current favorites. If you have some spare time I compared the two here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/emnJeX6da7tlrNE But the P3S is a great value for the money, only limiting items would be lack of 4k and the range is no where near the newer DJI offerings.

[@DonJoyce]

Totally agree. I've had a P3 standard for 1.5 years and love it. I use it to make cool video stories that people love.

[@danskehans]

I am a 71 year old photographer and you just managed to convince me to buy this drone. Thanks for a great, level headed video.

[@TheRobkwill]

Excellent video. You do a superb job of describing the drone and its usage.

[@InnovativeExperience]

I just got the Phantom 3 standard a few weeks ago and I love it. This is my first drone and i have no problems at all. I love it.

[@bdpc-dk2xb]

Got one for Christmas. Super easy to set up and fly. My first drone ever. Highly recommended. Within 10 minutes of setup I was zooming around no problem

[@abundantYOUniverse]

My neighbor gave me his standard. To me its like flying the space shuttle, with all the features its fantastic! I was part of the really early RC world, we had bang bang escapements and one channel! It took a long long time until all this was a reality. I am so glad I lived long enough to see it!

[@DiqaunColeman]

I just bought the DJI P3S 2 days ago! I live on the east coast so winter is approaching and it's been pretty chilly out lately so I'm waiting to take it out once the weather is fairly manageable. Great video bro! Love the channel

[@jvdl678]

I've had a Standard for a year now, fly it round the farm whenever the weather permits. I fly missions using the Litchi App and can go as far as the battery will allow. Out of sight and behind hills it doesn't matter. Always comes home and lands exactly the same spot every time. Truly amazing.

[@TianWu]

You live in a such beautiful place man

[@jeremyjudkins]

+Tian Wu thanks. I do want to move to Hawaii though lol 😆

[@Travelingfever]

Who wouldn't want to move to Hawaii, it is amazing there... Can't wait to go back!

[@Travelingfever]

+Hup Kup I was thinking they dropped the price again. Amazon has been selling it for 498.00 for awhile now. Thanks for the info... It's a great deal wherever you get it. :)

[@Jubi316]

+Traveling Fever it is 399.99 now at Walmart for the standard dji phantom 3

[@Travelingfever]

FamilyMann to bad I just picked one up at target for 499.00. Still a great deal...

[@jbread7298]

I have a Phantom 3 Pro but would not have minded if I had received the Standard as my 1st drone instead. A friend of mine has the Standard and we fly together and have similar experiences in handling and video with each one. DJI Phantom is a great product regardless of what you want to spend as a drone hobbyist. I appreciate all of those who post their experiences on-line. Keep it up and I will keep watching.

[@KEITHSMOTORBIKES]

That camera is very good, who needs 4k to me the extra cost for the 4k drones isnt worth it

[@bidwinliu3550]

I agree. people who waste their money on a drone with a not much better camera not very smart

[@skankhunt42jew10]

Bidwin Ca it's not just the camera if you spend $200 more on the pro it can go a lot further

[@KEITHSMOTORBIKES]

Ethan Russell $60 for a new antenna setup on the standard will get you further as well

[@pridedyanky]

the pro and adv also have a second gps antenna. so its three things really.

[@bidwinliu3550]

Keith Lewis good point, But I think even with the further range and other upgrades it's still not worth it.

[@losaface4]

The sky view shot of it following you is AMAZING.

[@jeremyjudkins]

+losaface4 I think when it faces down the exposure is always perfect because no direct sunlight or anything.

[@rustyshackleford3647]

I got one refurbished.. love it. I also have a Mavic pro. As you said, my Phantom is the beginner drone that is not cheap (I've learned on the toys) but is ACTUALLY training me for the Mavic.

[@EdwinCombs]

it was your video that sold me on getting the DJI phantom 3 Standard. it should arrive tomorrow. can't wait.

[@jeremyjudkins]

Awesome! You will have a blast. Just remember to initially set aside a good chunk of time before you can fly, battery charging, downloading updates, calibrating, etc.

[@jeremyjudkins]

I bet a lot of new Phantom 3 owners from the good deals on black friday! Just beware, I had to crash my drone on purpose. Check out why here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bX-oYoSvetOGebc

[@jasonferguson6753]

I watched your video just after buying said drone, I'm a babybrain in this particular diversion and found myself relaxed with piloting (that's important). Thanks.

[@jasonyannuccelli2499]

Thanks for the Beginners video. From Brisbane, AustraliaI am picking up 2nd hand Phantom 3 Standard tomorrow. I am a beginner and looking forward to having some fun with it.Being a beginner and stressing about the drone getting away from me due to inexperience....I feel much more comfortable now after watching your video.I have Subscribed to your channel and looking forward to watching more of your videos.

[@H.pylori]

I am new to drones and have been looking at the P3S, as a starter. Your excellent video pushed me over the edge to make my purchase. I agree with those who say try a smaller cheaper drone first, but from what you describe, the safety features on the P3S will help you fly until you are ready for manual. As soon as I complete this comment I am off to get the P3S and subscribe to your channel. Thank you very much!

[@Cabronosidad]

I've had a Phantom3S for a couple of months now and I'd agree with pretty much everything you say, but I would add the following. The biggest demerit with this aircraft is the wi-fi link, which loses connection at quite short ranges, especially when you fly behind things and don't have direct line of sight. Usually you lose video connection first, so the picture freezes on your phone, although often you still have control of the aircraft. I bought a cheap parabolic reflector off ebay, and this has had a noticeable difference in the strength of the rf signal. The other point is that using wi-fi when flying drains your phone or tablet battery really quickly, so make sure you buy a brick charger. I'll be trading up to a Mavic soon, but the P3 has been an excellent learner drone. It performs brilliantly, feels solid and stable in the air and is fast, allegedly faster even than the Phantom4, which in turn is faster than the Mavic, so if you're into speed then the P3 Standard is a great buy.

[@keithpeppard4629]

Thanks for the video, you've convinced me this is the one to get for my 1st drone.

[@tchenselftimerstudios3258]

this was a cool informative vid. coolest part was having the drone go back home after loosing signal, that helped my buying decision a lot !!

[@extraangie]

i just got a drone and now experimenting with it on my youtube vids its so amazing and easy to use

[@jeremyjudkins]

drones make a great compliment to youtube videos, just make sure not to overdo it.

[@Yourk9stateofmind]

Awesome video! I just got the Phantom 3 Standard yesterday and I love it! Eventually I want the DJI Mavic pro

[@Curt100]

I've had my P3 Standard about a month now. I'm still loving it!!! Amazing fun!!!

[@jeremyjudkins]

about the same for me. its really fun. only complaint.. i wish i could fly it farther.. bc I have basically flown everywhere possible around my house. I drive to new locations to fly it now... I know its a lot farther than they advertise, but I flew it a mile away over open water.. was pretty cool

[@dm1927]

Mr Judkins thank u so much for ur video. I'm looking to upgrade and I think this is the ticket for myself. I'm new to this sport and been flying a beginner drone for about 3 months, now I'm comfortable looking to get something new. Thank you so much.

[@AsaNuru]

I think it's good advice for anyone who has never flown a drone to start with a cheap one. The syma x5c is really good for that. I am going to upgrade to a phantom 3 when I get the money but that drone has done a great job teaching me the basics of the controls and it doesn't matter if I crash it.

[@merrionjackson6870]

Jeremy, I really appreciate this video, I have a friend that has the Phantom pro, scared of losing it, which of course made me feel concerned, because I really don't anticipate having to feel anxiety when it is supposed to be fun. Personal photos are my interest, as well as just flying the aircraft for fun. The phantom 3 sounds like a good fit, thank you.

[@aligeeeeez]

I've seen a bunch of review videos on this drone and this is the best one by far... it convinced me to buy one. Great Job!

[@GeorgeBonez]

the good thing now is that if you do want to shoot in 4k you can get the new 2016 DJI Phantom 3 4k for the exact same price as the DJI Standard and you get a much better remote.

[@GeorgeBonez]

+Clorox Bleach yeah but that's better than $1300. bucks for a P Pro 4k.. Right?

[@phantommedia9964]

***** yeah exactly, I'd buy an advanced rather than the 4K cuz the advanced would make flying a little easier and more worry free so u can shoot cooler shots, the 4K just gives u a really good camera that chances r u don't need that good of a camera or u might not render/upload as a 4K video. It takes 1.5 hours to upload 1 min of 2.7k quality. High quality video doesn't mean more views, cool quality shots, content, and editing is what makes more views.

[@phantommedia9964]

***** true, good points! To answer ur last question, I would say maybe it could be a person starting up a studio or KZbin channel and wanted to access 4K as cheap as possible, and invest into it to get more followers/viewers. With more followers/viewers they can got more money to spend on other better supporting equipment.

[@jimmybattlefrontgamer8854]

George fuck you

[@frostyprime8110]

Jacksepticeye Sam What the hell did the guy ever do to you?

[@howey935]

Enjoyed the video Jeremy good advice for beginners I loved my phantom 3 but I had the advance and had hours of fun I had 2 spare batteries and I think I'm hooked on drones for life it's a great hobby and I've sold quite a few pictures of people's childhood home from above nostalgia is a powerful emotion.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

I agree this is a great drone if you want to video or take photos, you don't really need to know how to fly... but if something goes wrong with the GPS signal and you cant fly, you're in trouble. A cheap alterative is the Syma X5, if you crash it while learning to fly, $39.00 for a new one. About what a motor costs on the DJI Phantom 3. I'd get this one after learning some basic flying skills on a cheap one. Unless flying it yourself doesn't interest you.

[@XtremeConditions]

So 2.7k is well over 1440p. That's great video quality. For the $350 this is going for now, this is a steal. Definitely going to pick one up soon.

[@carlosdrill]

I'm still in the process of researching drones for purchase, but this video is very helpful. Looks cool, thanks for your review man.

[@MartinZero]

That was a great video. I think you convinced me on the Phantom 3. Thanks 👍

[@360DAD]

Best rc content of my day so far.

[@rouningames]

This is a good no frills review. I admit that 4K cameras are nice but Full HD is actually fine. The 500 meter range can be extended with an upgraded antenna.

[@pimpedoutstereos9747]

I ordered one of these today before watching this and I'm glad that I decided on my model for my first drone. I used a friends Dji Magic pro and I really liked it but too expensive for me and it felt a bit too fragile for my liking since it folds up so small but I think this model drone will be the perfect choice for me. Thankyou for this video

[@jeremyjudkins]

You will LOVE it! I own the Mavic as well, but the Phantom line has a special place in my heart.

[@jaysonwatts7853]

Just bought my first drone yesterday, the Dji phantom 3 standard for 399. I got the parrot drone as a gift and returned it and spent alittle more for a good quality drone.

[@ColinBloodworth]

Thanks for this. the 3 standard is going to be on a lot of places' Black Friday lists.

[@jeremyjudkins]

yes! I saw it @ sams club for under $400

[@spacerconrad]

I just ordered a refurb from NewEgg for just over $300, though it's taking forever to ship. They said stocks had gotten low. :)

[@sadiqbashao7]

Spacer Conrad buddy now it's sold out......😢😢😢😢

[@tchenselftimerstudios3258]

whats the latest. how does it work. any significant scratches or damage

[@Floridascooterboys]

thanks to this video and you i end up buying one brand new from ebay for $379 and cant wait to get it and fly it im happy.

[@ClutchkickChris]

really thinking about getting this for my first drone and making some sick youtube videos with it. thanks for this informative video, Jeremy!

[@Me-zt6eg]

That's the best simple review I have seen I have one and like you say very easy to use

[@bodieb1233]

WOW ..... This gives me some confidence to take the step... Thanks

[@lakeseminole]

Jeremy! Wow! Thanks so much for helping a 60 year old guy decide on his first drone! I liked your introduction, wise but not cheap. I also would like to have the controls as opposed to just the cell phone. Of course,return to home critical. I really appreciate your unbiased, informational video. This would be perfect for me. Russ

[@yotchsyr1673]

great video intro to people wanted to buy theirs first drone. I've been wanted to buy one for a long time. the only thing I flu before was a Protocol shopper and got stuck on a 40 feet tree. thank you!

[@barcode1963]

Thanks I just got one yesterday have not taken it out of the package yet can not wait.

[@jeremyjudkins]

what are you waiting for?! lol. keep in mind it takes about 45 minutes to update and calibrate

[@barcode1963]

It figures it would rain all weekend but I did pay my $5 for a FAA license "can not wait"..Thanks

[@barcode1963]

Hello again just letting you know that the DJI 3 is a lot of fun very easy to work but I am still taking it easy sometime soon I will post a video...Thanks again john from Ohio

[@5000PokemonMaster]

Nice review video! I just got the phantom 3 for Christmas, and I really love it! It's so easy to fly and it was my very first drone!

[@justinberry6160]

great video! i just bought one yesterday, the wait is killing me.

[@thenerdherdforum]

Sounds pretty great, gonna grab one soon!

[@jeremyjudkins]

it is a blast to fly, only down side is that range isn't that good compared to new DJI drones.

[@k6lsn]

So cool, love the features. Wish I had the cash for one. I appreciate you showing us this, seen others and they weren't real, like explanatory whatsoever really. Would be a blast for me being in a wheelchair and seeing all the crazy cliffs and mountains I cant quite climb around here in Idaho. Anyway, Thanks man, great realworld advise and experience. :)

[@jeremyjudkins]

Thanks for commenting. Yes, a drone is unfortunately an expense that is totally unnecessary for most, so there is really not much reason to justify buying one.. other than just having fun.

[@k6lsn]

+Jeremy Judkins Its great though because it gets folks out and gets them creative. Its the ultimate way to share using all this wonderful technology we have now, badass. :)

[@connorrd6707]

+k6lsn By far the best reason I've ever seen to get one of these. Hell if I had the money I'd get one for you and me. God bless.

[@Addictedtobleeps]

The top down view you sped up at 4:25 reminded me of the early GTA games :D

[@Crysco.mp3]

just ordered P3 STD and OSMOS for my birthday!! Now need to sell my t2i and steady cam rig.

[@sayedfalah171]

Simple and effective explanation tkx just hoped you went through more details

[@anamihaila271]

welp now I just figure out a way to scrape up $500 😂

[@snarl8]

If u want a beginner drone that's really cheap, get the zipp nano 2.0, the dart 1.0, the JJRC H36, the eachine E011, or the furibee F36

[@allancopland1768]

Good video. I have the same drone.... Phantom3 Standard and it makes a nice flying platform for photography. Super easy to fly and the Home and auto-return with lost signal are really good, although of course it's sensible to set the minimum flyback height so it will avoid trees and other obstacles. What's best about it is it's superb stability in flight and the rock steady video it can make. Glad I listened to your advice and bought this drone. I've been flying it for a few months now. It works well with my samsung Galaxy Tab4 7 inch tablet.

[@bumblecat23]

Awesome video. You just made up my mind. Been wanting a drone but afraid. You just made it look so simple.

[@jeremyjudkins]

They are really simple, but take it slow and teach yourself how to recover during stressful times.. for example would you know how to control it if you lost GPS or video signal? Just practice practice practice and you will get more comfortable.

[@ashleyflint3501]

It has been great listening to you, fantastic video

[@TumaTime]

thanks i am thinking of getting into the hobby i like making videos seems like this is a logical step plus probably lots of fun

[@xpyros]

That was a cool intro you've got there.

[@jeremyjudkins]

thanks. i like it a lot too.

[@fatwoodphantom8523]

Thanks man! Video helped me make the decision of getting a phantom!!

[@briandavis8940]

that was awsome TuT Jeremy, was really unsure if i should buy the standard, but i see it has follow me, that was my main concern, Great Job, keep up the Good work.

[@ashleyiverson8478]

I'm definitely gonna buy one of these now

[@rabidmarksman3912]

Great Video, it really made my decision easier!

[@rquiles2205]

Thank you for your video. Very clear and simple to understand!!!

[@ZachHollenbaugh]

Real informative video, liked it! Keep up the good work!

[@ryancoleman8923]

I bought one yesterday on amazon for $420 (December 30th 2016)! I bought it with all gift cards so it worked out perfectly! But the only down side is, is that it says it's coming Jan 17 - Feb 3 2016

[@donhody1127]

Thank you. A very nice simple discussion and explained heaps to this novice looking for a good Christmas present for my son. Thanks for keeping it nice and simple. Cheers. Merry Christmas.

[@jeremyjudkins]

Great to hear :) The DJI Spark with fly more combo is also a good beginner drone

[@wildjunk]

I got a skyviper v2900pro for Christmas, it's my first drone and so I'm a newbie at this. I also have a hobby of flying pigeons so I'm hoping on getting some good footage as soon as I get better at controlling the camera straight while flying.

[@bestofrap1155]

Best review by far!!

[@versyschris]

Thanks for the info. Very informative video about why you think this is a great drone for beginners. It makes a lot of sense.

[@dave991122]

Great basic overview and instruction...thanks!

[@Sulfen]

I'll get my first drone by Friday. I have a lot of cool places I can hike to get decent shots. And it's spring so right on time :)

[@jeremyjudkins]

yup plus if you are in an area with daylight savings time, its bright out longer, so more time for flying

[@Travelingfever]

Thanks for the video. I was just thinking, I wonder if the standard DJI Phantom would be good enough. I have a mini drone but would like to get a DJI for some high angle shots and was wondering if the Phantom 3 would be ok or if I should be getting the Phantom 4. From your video, I think the Phantom 3 will work out just fine. Thanks!

[@jeremyjudkins]

you're make a great decision :)

I absolutely LOVE my Phantom 3 standard. I use it for video footage and the camera is great (considering the cost) in 2.7k. Nice video btw.

Do you have any videos about yours?

Same here! It's my video camera for my studio, I use it to film everything lolol.

[@luckyme6566]

I guess it won't be a bad idea to buy 1 drone even though it's expensive or an average price drone but you know it's worth it even though your a beginner heading to a pro.

[@python56]

Thank you. Just got one as a gift. Video is very helpful!!

Thankyou for the video, what you said at the end of the video is exactly my purpose.

[@marcog3210]

Well the drone is good I just got it I'm pumped and it haves good Video quality and just over all is a amazing drone to be honest

[@AHMediaOfficial]

im thinking about getting one! thanks for the nice video

[@malanghobbies2550]

DJI Phantom 3 Standard is my first Drone. Nice Vids btw

[@smittystechreview7088]

You know you can go into advanced settings and change how far it can go but if this is a signal issue you can buy range extenders for $16.99

[@JoshDavies89]

Thanks dude, looking at getting one for Christmas. Not sure whether to invest and go for the pro. Like the idea of being able to go the extra distance. Although with the return to home function it does give you that level of security so you don't have to panic 'too much' when it goes out of range. :)

[@erikbai]

I searched how to fly a drone and found your video. My partner just bought the P3S drone and he is so excited to try it out for the first time. But I am afraid he is going to crash it soon after it takes off. Nonetheless, it's a very informative video! :)

[@jeremyjudkins]

just go someplace very empty and secluded. rather you crash it in a field than on someones house/car. You will find find, just take it easy, and don't do anything crazy haha.

[@pauldeacon5615]

Very good video Jeremy!! 😁

[@jcalbano]

Very nice demo! Thanks

[@livinglegacy736]

this helped man, nice video. thanks

[@PalaminoHills]

Fun video. You're giving me confidence to buy this model.

[@jeremyjudkins]

yes its awesome! only downside is the range is not very good in comparison to the newer DJI models. If you don't care about flying miles away then you are good

[@rbateman25]

If I want to fly over a longer distance, which model would you recommend? I'm looking at getting a Phantom 3. Thanks.

[@ryu4rules]

good one.... Even I started with a Phantom 3...

[@lonewolf211]

if you want a good beginner quad, less boring to fly (less automated) try a syma x5c. 1/10 th the price also

[@tokyojapan6734]

Jeremy was it hard to set up? Can I fly it straight out of the box. Can you fly it at Night?

[@Robnord1]

The P3S is a great start into heavier, sophisticated video quadcopters, but far from a good idea for a true beginner in the hobby. Not only do you have too many features that cover up lack of flying skill, but you can really cause damage and injury with a Phantom easily. Syma X5C-1 or similar, and take the time to learn how to fly is a much better plan.

[@jasonbuilder5601]
