🔥DJI Phantom 3 Pro Drone Startup

[@thirdnebula1823]

i wish the newer drones did the 2 little "rev"s the phantom does when you start the props up. sounds sick!

[@CAMTechChris]

Indeed! I always liked that sound too! I hadn’t really thought much about it though until you mentioned it, it was more of a subconscious thing. 👍👍 Thank you for watching and commenting!

[@TheUlitamateStunt]

I think they do that because of the screw-on props to make sure they're tightened correctly. Later drones all have quick attach or bolted props.

Yeah, same here, I’ve had my phantom 3 pro since 2015 and it still flies great and takes great video. I don’t fly it much but it’s still fun.

[@davitt1598]

Is still a good choice the phantom in 2024?

[@CAMTechChris]

No definitely not, only if you like to collect and fly older drones. The Phantoms were excellent drones 8-10 years ago but you are far better off with one of DJIs Mini drones like the mini 2 4k, mini 3 or mini 4 pro. Or the Air 3. It really all depends on how much you want to spend. Check DJI.com for official refurbished.

I can decide on smt I want to buy a drone in a month or so and I can't tell if I want a phantom 3 or DJI mini 2 or a mavic mini it sounds like a easy choice but the thing is if I get a phantom 3 they're huge unlike a DJI mini 2 or something like that or you can just throw it in your bag

[@CAMTechChris]

I would say don’t buy the Phantom. Its older technology and size make it difficult to operate and get good results. The Mini 2 will give just as good video and photo performance with a much smaller drone. Even better would be the mini 3 pro or mini 4 pro but they cost more.

[@kirajune-gq1uq]

Hey,do you have a bag for it? If so,where did u buy it and for how much?

[@CAMTechChris]

When I first bought this drone in 2026 I bought a generic hard case, similar to a Pelican case, with wheels from Amazon. It was about $120. I still have the case but it’s basically in storage since I rarely take this drone away from home to fly. The newer folding drones are so much easier to carry even with a hard case. I believe there are still backpack style cases made for the Phantom 4 or 3 from Amazon. That might be a better choice. Hope this helps. If you have more questions please let me know.

Hi as a first time drone buyer what would you recommend. I was thinking about buying the mini 3 but I seen a phantom pro 3 in my area for cheaper what would you recommend?

[@CAMTechChris]

Hi Carlos, the Phantoms are great drones but they are almost 10 years old now and really don't even compare with the newer drones like the Mini 3 and Mini 4. If at all possible I highly recommend looking at the Mini 3 Pro or Mini 4 Pro. Right now you can get some good deals on those two drones on the DJI Refurbished website store.dji.com/pages/refurbished . I have bought several drones and other devices from DJI official refurbish and it was like buying brand new items. That is my recommendation! Good luck with your search!

[@CarlosTJM70]

@CarlosTJM70 you are welcome!

[@xeltonic9714]

what app and phone are you using to connect to it? My P3A drone can fly fine and the RC works but I can’t get my iPhone 12 pro to connect to the DJI GO App, was the camera connect feature discontinued too?

[@CAMTechChris]

I use the DJI GO with the iPhone 15 pro max. Also used the 13 pro max with no issues. I’m sure the iPhone 12 should work fine too. I did have some issues with certain usb cables though and it was quite puzzling and frustrating. I finally realized that it was indeed the cable and when I tried another cable it worked fine. Not sure if that will be your solution but you should definitely try it. Let me know how that works.

[@vonbokeh]

Hey, am I the only one having trouble keeping with the connecting USB iPhone charger to the 3 professional ? Do you need a strong voltage cord?

[@CAMTechChris]

Thanks for watching and sorry to hear about your issue with the cord. I have not experienced the trouble that you are having. I typically use a 12” usb-a to Lightning cord purchased on Amazon. Sometimes I use a regular Apple Lightning cord that came with my iPhone. I don’t recall having any connection issues in the past. I’m sure you have already tried it but if not just swap cables and try different ones. Good luck with it and let me know if you find a solution!

[@CAMTechChris]

Also, maybe the female usb slot on the controller has gotten dirty. Maybe take a q-tip with some rubbing alcohol and clean it out.

​@@CAMTechChrisI might go buy this drone for my brother now. Thanks for telling me👍

[@CAMTechChris]

@@DJIDudeX2011old sounds great! But keep in mind that the Pantoms have been discontinued by DJI and the technology is pretty old now. Also, you will need to buy it on the used market. You should at least consider spending a little more money on a DJI Mini 2SE or even a Mini 3. But if you do decide to buy a Phantom they are still good drones and will still shoot pretty decent video and photos. Either way, I wish you and you brother all the best and happy flying!
