Love my Phantom, can’t wait to get it out

[@ivangutowski]

Literally exactly what I wanted from a video. Exact title I searched for, clear, to the point and well laid out ! I bought a p3 standard last week and was incredibly impressed, mainly by how stable it was and the video quality. However as I live near a radio tower I really struggled with reception and video quality. Plus in your footage at 3:54 you can see whilst panning it really stutters. The advanced version has the option for 1080 at 60fps so hopefully if I fim in that in the future by getting an advanced model it will be smoother. So selling my standard after a week and going or the advanced.

I have been flying a P3S for a couple of years and love it. I'm a Pt 107 pilot and also fly a P4P+ and actually trained on an Inspire 1 during a 3 day class. I just purchased a P3A refurbished for less than $500 as a backup to my Standard. I looked at a P3P but honestly never need the 4k camera. I find 99% of the video I'm taking is at 1080 or even 720. And while the 20mp photos of the P4P looks great I have really not had any problems with just the P3 12mp stills. I have found that the P3S has problems in built up suburbs and urban areas due to interference from wifi routers. This has delayed some real estate jobs I've gone on. While I fly LOS I found the Lightbridge to work much better in these areas versus the wifi used on the P3S. I'm planning on using my P3A as my primary with the P3S being relegated to backup.

Best video on this subjecy

[@nathanrock9853]

Just purchased the Advance second hand for £210 on eBay, I'm getting really excited now

[@kevincappis]

Nice! You'll have some fun with it for sure.

[@louiswelshwalkabouts2290]

great comparison! thank you

[@kevincappis]

Thanks Louis. Cheers!

[@Tempest-po4cm]

Great video Kevin!

[@cybersoft1]

Thanks for the comparison!

[@kevincappis]

You're welcome! hopefully it helped out. i know a lot of people have a tough time deciding on which one Phantom to go for.

[@davidpacheco7768]

in europe they limit the range of the drones. Exemple : phantom 3 standard is 300 meters and advanced is 2.5 km

[@kevincappis]

Thanks for that comment mr_d4vid_xd. I had heard they had limited the Mavic and the Spark, but didn't know they had also limited the Phantom Models.

[@mohamedgaaloul2753]

The camera on the advanced is made by Sony (as the professional version) but on the standard is not. The Sony camera has a dedicated thread allows the ND filter installation but the standard camera has not🤔

[@MASWHA]

Great video

[@becauseofjohan7640]

Thanks for the comparison :)

[@kevincappis]

You're welcome becauseofjohan!

[@ihansdaddy]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@kevincappis]

Thanks Yong!

[@NoviceQuads]

I wanted the phantom 3 standard but I am a long distance pilot and need the phantom 3 advanced. I need the cleaner video playback from distances of 1 to 2 miles. And it dont look like the phantom 3 standard can do it. great video comparison. Now I will pull the trigger and get the advanced for sure. I subbed

[@kevincappis]

Thanks! That's kind of my line of thinking too. I really want to go over longer distances, so for me it was worth the extra money. The Lightbridge is noticeably better for sure. Subbed back :-)

[@NoviceQuads]

Thanks for subbing back, let your friends know I sub for sub if they have a youtube channel too.

[@grimsbycleethorpesdashcam]

Anyone looking at buying a phantom 3, just get the advanced, if you get the standard you will regret it like I did

[@bachhongtran]

In dens city, my standard only reach 250m, lost signal and self come back to where it took off.

[@inkyboy5473]

Super video 👍👍👍

[@Flightstar]

Is the advanced the same as the professional? Another video states the the professional is $1200

[@fudgedog123]

Thank you.

[@muiznazelan4778]

nice explanation. tq

[@foxman362]

i loved my advance you can do drone rescues missions saving other rc helicopters and other drones......

[@mistersoapy5038]

💀

[@icqproductions5246]

Thanks bro very profesh

[@kevincappis]

Thanks Chadwick Cheers!

[@dahaproject3498]

cool!

[@armincolovic9433]

advanced or standard, which is better to buy

[@grifce]

You must not have hear of magic power 5 for phantom 3 standard And antenna upgrades and 2.4 and 5.8 sinal amplifiers a combine...cost about 150 upgrade if your a good shoper.you can buy standards now around 250 to 300 complete. Camera is 2.7 good but not 4k. Unless you get one w 4k.

[@timothynxele8277]

Hi, i am in South africa and my Advanced only flys 500m. Where can i increase the range

[@dronevisionz2072]

nice vid surreal i got a question thou can the advanced controller work with the standard version

[@kevincappis]

Unfortunately they use different controllers.

[@dronevisionz2072]

ok thanks much for the info

[@kevincappis]

Batteries and chargers are the same for both :-)

[@dronevisionz2072]

great well at least those are the same lol im thinking of getting the standard . i have the ghost drone l.0 which is an amazing flying drone but need another as im just starting my aerial youtube channel

[@kevincappis]

The standard is a good solid drone, and for the money, you'll be able to get a lot out of it.

[@ildxnnyli5541]

Is the S.E good

[@ildxnnyli5541]

Meh I'm just a 13 year old kid gettin into drones I saw the S.E and was like this is just what I need but I'm not sure any second opinions?

[@kevincappis]

Hi Danny, I think for the money it looks like a good deal. The only issue I've heard about with the SE is that even though it has greater distance than the Standard, the video feedback you see on the phone or tablet has the same kind of lag that the Standard has. But for the price of the SE I think it's a solid deal.

[@foxman362]

you can use windsurfers to increase the range on both phantoms you can make out of tin foil and paper.....

[@kevincappis]

Just tin foil and paper? Sounds interesting.

[@danielvdombrowski843]

Is the Phantom 3 advanced also considered the Phantom 3 SE

[@sayaksark]

hi, first of all great video. just wanna know if i am flying on a hill surrounded with trees, will i get problem from the auto return home, or will the drone consider the hill as a flat surface and what height should i put for the safe to return home when im on the hill...thanx in advance

[@kevincappis]

It could be a problem, but if you set the return to home altitude to say 30-50m usually it's fine. Just make sure you don't get the drone behind something like a tall building or rock formation.

[@minecraftgaming1356]

Hmm i thingking adv n std distance

[@matterhorn1975]

Is there no upgrade for the standard to up the range?

[@Lyf3styl3]

there is i can get up to 7500 ft with standard

[@bastschi1507]

where have you seen a 699$ phantome 3 advanced ?

[@kevincappis]

It was on DJI's website....but now when I go to look, it says that it isn't availble in my region (Canada) Looks like Amazon has it for the same price though www.amazon.com/DJI-Phantom-Advanced-Quadcopter-Camera/dp/B00VSIT5UE

[@bastschi1507]

Surreal Skies Look at the price in France (I'm French)...I don't understand why it is so expensive: www.amazon.fr/gp/aw/d/B00WAGS478/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?__mk_fr_FR=ÅMÅZÕÑ&qid=1495775099&sr=8-3&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=phantom+3+advanced&dpPl=1&dpID=31iIX3dBVDL&ref=plSrch

[@nosehillcyclist9427]

Very expensive in France. I wonder why?

[@bastschi1507]

NoseHill Cyclist me too... The cheapest I found was 899 € (~1000$)

[@kevincappis]

It must be something to do with extra tariffs. I see that in the U.K. it is 699 Pounds ($896 U.S). It is in Germany at 917€ ($1,027 US), in Spain 955€ ($1,066 US) ( but in Japan, 140,000¥ ($1,256.00 US) !!

[@verdient8516]

Which has a bether camera?

[@petejames9366]

@@hughsanders7751 actually wrong the advanced has a Sony made camera which can do extra stuff /higher res and use filters ect ect

[@JorgeGonzalez-vq8fv]

👍🙏🙏🙏🇵🇷😘🥰😫

[@NoahPurdyFR]

Speed up the video by 1,5% to get a somewhat regular speaking speed

[@BirdWhisperer46]

So, you really want a Phantom 3 Pro or advanced? Wait till you lose one, you'll wish you had bought the Standard. Less money out the window.

[@EA-58]

you forgot the most important thing....the camera of the standard is WAY better.

[@kevincappis]

I've never noticed a difference. The Standard is way better?

[@ToTechYT]

Surreal Skies the one in the advanced is 1080p but in the standard Its 2700p

[@kevincappis]

Maybe I'm missing something here, but according to DJI the Advanced supports everything the Standard does, and a bit more. www.dji.com/products/compare-phantom. Do you have any specific info or sites that show differently? Thx in advance!

[@nosehillcyclist9427]

The DJI Advance does have the 2.7K Camera, it always did they both did it was just a software update. Mostly the only time the 2.7K will be useful is if you do post production zoom.

[@shiwadaay07]

Erwin 1965 Both of Phantom 3 Standard and Advanced have 2.7K cameras but P3A cameras are actually better because it has 1080p 60fps which the Standard doesn't have. I have both of them.
