Hands-On with DJI's Phantom 3 Professional Quadcopter Drone!

We take the new DJI Phantom 3 Advanced and Professional quadcopters out for some test flights! Eric Cheng of DJI joins us to discuss how these new quads differ from previous models in terms of their flight capability and cameras, bringing in features previously introduced in the Inspire 1. We then put these quadcopters up in the air to test the new stabilization systems and 4K video!
Thanks to Eric Cheng for some of the Phantom 3 video footage.

Eric Cheng it wasn't always the case...

[@harrygross1182]

thats nic eric

[@SteveAdcocks]

Eric Cheng Great work Eric. Tell me... the last scene of the video we saw of you flying backwards through the statue (very nice flying indeed) did you get that first time or did you trash a P3 or 2 in the process. Very impressive from where you were standing. Thank you

[@MacManFinalCut]

querty craplicker and it costs about $20 (Still really cool)

[@gweterings]

That outro shot took some balls :O

[@IanPitts]

WeteringsWebDevelop I cringed when they did that!

[@echeng]

***** Believe it or not, I flew it that way!

[@techtiptricks]

+Eric Cheng Ya, tell that to the seagull flying backwards.... It was footage that was reversed.

[@jimmyjojo5382]

+WeteringsWebDevelop you can get the dji phantom 3 pro with extra batteries on geni.us/DJIPhantom3Pro4k

[@thedeepeshshow]

[@FliteTest]

Nice video guys. Epic exit!

[@SimmziNOR]

FliteTest Hello FliteTest :)

[@FliteTest]

***** Hi :)

[@SimmziNOR]

I'm a big fan :) Big electric ducted fan xD

[@omniblast]

Seriously that exit was well piloted.

[@EoRdE6]

FliteTest Will you guys be picking up one of these, or are they a bit out of FliteTest scope... I'd love to see your opinions, and see some episodes filmed with it rather than that (no offense) shaky quad you guys use...

[@StephanWahlen]

Wow, that camera is NICE

[@thorerenskjold9869]

Stephan Wahlen agreed

[@DroneGirl1]

Stephan Wahlen Awesome! :) Greetings from Ireland! :)

[@Spacemonkeymojo]

17:42 Quadcopters, woman running in power stilts, THE FUTURE IS HERE! Also, what were those buildings that looked like asterisks? And wow that ending was sick when he flew under the statues arm!

[@kael13]

Spacemonkeymojo Yeah, I thought that was an awesome shot.

[@thestalkinghead]

Spacemonkeymojo yeah, what the hell, it's like back to the future

[@brianshea2515]

Spacemonkeymojo According to this site: www.secretsinplainsight.com/2012/01/10/synchronicity-in-the-city/, the buildings are abandoned barracks.

[@origamihawk]

Only is San Francisco

[@BariumCobaltNitrog3n]

oragamihawk Treasure Island is just outside San Francisco.

[@StateParkers]

As a Phantom 3 Pro owner, I can tell you that this is a superior product as compared to other brands. Absolutely love the ease of use and capabilities. The footage is beyond good and the gimbal is dialed in. What I will say is that I had the worst customer service experience dealing with DJI in North America when filing a claim to replace my drone that landed in the bottom of a lake. Totally my fault. Didn't let it warm up enough in the morning and flew it over water after storing it in my vehicle over night at 36*. Way too cold. Not my brightest moment. I offered to "purchase" a new one from them. Looking for just the platform and didn't need the accessories since I still had my originals. It took them over 2 months to get my situation handled even while taking my money. When they shipped it to me they FAILED to provide a shipping address on the package and I almost watched it get sent back to CA from FEDEX. I had to race across town and pick it up myself. I was irritated. DJI gave me conflicting tracking information that didn't match up to FEDEX data. My point is by all means get a DJI Phantom 3 Pro. It's awesome, easy and fun. But, if you need it repaired, or upgraded etc., make sure you find a local dealer, or drone store. You will be much happier. Try to avoid calling DJI for services. It's a bit of a pain.

[@digital-alchemist]

I have to admit, the video quality and stability on these is pretty stellar. I just wish I could afford one :(

[@kreed1004]

They've got these sites online for sugar daddy type relationships

[@BenTroxell]

+obaid rehman Id' rather have 2.7k and lightbridge, which is why I bought the advanced for the same price.

[@devinpabingwit1734]

+ElektrobanK DJI is having a crazy sell on their website. Go get one!

[@Wakajce]

I flew one of these today against a fairly strong wind, I can vouch that it really does hold itself in place, and the camera is incredibly still. Wonderful piece of kit

[@Deetronic]

This is the quad-copter I have to buy!!! Excellent review, outstanding quality! DJ Phantom comes to DJ Nykk :)

[@EverydayReviews2022]

Does anyone know if you can use the Phantom 3 remote as a slave remote for the Inspire 1? I know it doesn't have HDMI out but that doesn't matter to me.

[@DanielS-zq2rr]

that ending was sick hahaha

[@dhollow175]

Those buildings were U.S. Navy barracks. I use to stay in them 1971.

[@easterislehead]

That last shot, through the arm, WOW!

[@KenHeron]

The Phantom 3 Professional is THE best aerial platform for the money!

[@tonneauguys6448]

What's the Range KH?

[@alan0guy]

That shot at the end though! Under the arm of the statue, amazing.

[@RC944jim]

After listening to Eric I think this will be my next quadcopter, thanks for the great review!

[@Biogreentech]

Love the quality of the video, This Phantom 3 is amazing I can't believe how stable it is ! It giving amazing video. I would Love one of them.

[@ryankim7174]

DUDE THAT IS AMAZINGLY COOL

[@GetADronenet]

Great review of the Phantom 3

[@reddcube]

That last shot was crazy.

[@dimassaputro47]

Nice video!! The last take was so amazing :D

[@StarCrusher.]

Looks nice there. And I love how the DJI guy wasn't all marketing bullshit. That last shot literally made me gasp.

[@davidditzler2704]

Great exit shot Eric!

[@MrMrwilem]

wow, great video guys . Thanks for sharing

[@MrJackPL]

Great video !!! It is always a pleasure to check my inbox and see that the new video is up :)

[@intvlan1shut]

That ending! Thanks guys for the info and demo. Might be time to pass the ole phantom 1 on to my father in law and upgrade myself.

[@Coolarj10]

Great video! It'd be nice to have also asked what other accessories they are planning to release, and when they will be available. That last scene where you guys reversed the quadcoptor through the statue - that was BOMB!

[@NevinXavier]

That last shot 👍🏾

[@mrcharrington1]

Dang, I want one. Very impressive quadcopter and presentation. Thanks!

[@DoctorRennie]

I like the ending - great flight through the statue. :)

[@shorinjimonk]

Awesome! Pre-Orders should be coming in next week (May 20th)! Can't wait :)

[@Subwaterfilm]

Nice review! Thanks for showing it to us... seems do be a quite nice tool for aereal works... :-) Thanks a lot :-) Best wishes; Holger from Subwaterfilm

[@oaklandsdad]

saving up to get one, can't wait till I get to play with it!

[@TheHutchMusic]

WOW! - What a piece of kit, well presented and intelligent and very natural conversation. Well done, you engaged & excited me. :-) I WANT ONE !

[@JackChapman]

This video was what actually conviced me to get a P3. I am loving the little guy. I just posted a video flying the Northern California Coast. Let me know what you think!

[@LIFEOFSTUFFEDANIMALS]

It's awesome :D

[@JackChapman]

+Curious airlines Thanks, mate :)

[@Hubiflex]

+Jack Chapman your video is awsome man :) Congrats

[@JackChapman]

+Hubiflex thanks, mate. much more coming :)

[@silverismysuccess]

Great video thanks for answering questions I have. Hope the ipad version of pilot is available soon.

[@NeverHADaNes]

Cool video. So excited to get my hands on one of these in the future.

[@ronwillie1780]

This video is a reason I ordered the Phantom 3. Great stuff! That last shot! WOW! I wish I could fly that good! I will definitely enjoy my P3 Advanced!

[@EoRdE6]

Dang I really want/need one of these for my sunset/sunrise photography at my local beach... This would look freaking amazing.

[@LakeNormanMike]

We love having the Phantom 3 used for our real estate listing videos. Great footage coming out of that dinky camera! :)

[@EASkateTV]

3DR Solo looks a lot nicer and well built. The features alone won me over and it won best drone at NAB. The footage that was just released today looks incredible. And the Hero5 comes out this year and Blackmagic Micro.

[@GranVlog]

Getting mine in a few days :D cant wait

[@aerialtours5214]

I just made switch to Phantom 3 pro! Awesome!

[@searchmyinventorysearchmyi5295]

My P3 Pro is on the way. Can't wait.

[@TheUbuntu]

Great improvement!

[@mvmacneil]

Love it... The statue. :) awesome overview. Thanks. Looking forward to having my own soon.

[@Impulsegt1]

thank you for calling the radio a "radio" and not a "remote controller"

[@nickmarz2507]

+Impulsegt1 I would love to eat dragons

[@gloomandglow]

+Impulsegt1 It's both.

[@dealviindeproductions1687]

+Impulsegt1 It's a radio...

[@gentrywalker]

+Impulsegt1 What's the problem calling something a Remote Controller if you are _literally_ controlling something remotely...

[@popthatcheery6460]

+Impulsegt1 Grab the Phantom 3 with a Big DISCOUNT on the now, Hurry it's for a Limited Time Only : click.dji.com/x7W7D8JbIm0yHjYL

[@cameraotter5666]

Awesome review, really helpful!!

[@MrUtzilaj]

Is DJI Phantom 3 compatible with gopro 4?

[@vinceh.5012]

Jesús™ Not for this moment apparently. Certainly later. DJI want to sale his camera before present a model able to put it on a Gopro. Sorry for my bad english ;-) lol

[@MrUtzilaj]

Vince H. Thanks!

[@markschaffer167]

Great job !!

[@derisco31]

Great footage, I used to live in those barracks, when I was first stationed on Treasure Island. They have defiantly been vandalized bummer.

[@fredyoung8356]

Jeffrey Young and I fly over our forest frequently. It is so great to take pictures and make videos far above the tree tops.

[@Cowboy-nu7ze]

Awesome vid guys

[@rickmlamb1]

Awesome video guys...I don't own one but I deffenntly will soon. You guys must be professional videographers, very well put together video.

[@GiannhsDaskalakhsLASER]

wonderfull mashine!!! hi from greece!

[@thejohnnylaw]

Maybe I missed it in the comments, but does the Professional NOT do 60fps? If not, is it because the 4K you can get just as good slow motion video as if it were 60fps?

[@Mister_moy]

The rectilinear lens frame is a lot more coherent to view than the fisheye. Overall, great product by DJI and great video by the Tested team.

[@MikeG-js1jt]

I'm really impressed with the hover stillness

[@TravellerYT]

Great video! We could use one of these for sure! :-D

[@pietro1961]

Thank you! Awesome!

[@PhillyDrones]

Now that's what I call a great exit shot. 20:59

[@cows1990]

Thank you I just bought this one. I know there is a 4 phantom now but I'm new at this. I got the 3 pro.

[@SLRHUT]

The DJI Phantom 3 is really impressive and it looks really easy to use, too.

[@rosenbergjerusalem6055]

Sehr gut gemachtes Video!!

[@derekmichaelhall4440]

Love these videos

[@vincejk777]

Great Video

[@ksmackvolleyball]

Wow, luv it, wish I had one.

[@thomasmizrahi]

when i told my father i wanted a Phantom 2, he said OK. but we live in Argentina, so we need to bring it from outside. When the Phantom 3 was released, i told him i changed my mind and wanted it. and now, i will never understand what a father can do for his son, because a 14 year old that lives in Argentina is right now writing a comment saying he has a Phantom 3 professional right behind him. i still cant believe it's real.

[@HerbertAR]

Amazing video!!

[@Ben7seven7]

Nice clarity from the camera but when panning around it looks like the image is a little choppy. Only slow movements look smooth. It looks like that on all the Phantom 3 footage I have seen so far and I wonder if that can or will be smoothed out via firmware or is that a limitation of the camera itself.

[@Zyhmet]

Ben7seven7 I wonder about the stuttering of the video too. It was the same with the videos with the phantom 1. Tested is that a problem with the videosoftware? Or is the filmed footage itself stuttering?

[@Doan84]

Ben7seven7 it is probably the image sensor. the fps is probably to low.

[@r4fken]

Its more likely to be youtubes awful compression.

[@Zyhmet]

Doan08 they said that the video is 60FPS in the video. Pippin but the parts that were shot with the normal camera are fluid. So I dont think it is youtubes fault

[@r4fken]

Zyhmet You have a point. My bad

[@rise-above-it.co.ukaerialv1259]

Nice vid and even nicer location lots to film! Keep up the good work guys - very informative ;-)

[@PBOstfriesland]

Ist das nicht eine super tolle Umgebung? Wahnsinn :-)

[@Nenmeu2]

I really love this...

[@natserog]

just bought one. Still in box. Cant wait to fly it. Having a hard time finding extra batteries. and not sure what would be the best SD card for the 4K. HELP!! thanks!! great video!

[@TheNZJester]

It's amazing how many businesses are starting to use these sort of things with the high quality cameras for safety inspections on hard to get at places. Power companies are using drones to inspect long stretches of power-lines for wear and tear in a few hours in what used to take a man months to completed with a dangerous to do visual inspection. They are also using drones with cameras mounted on top facing up to fly under bridges and inspect them for damage before deciding if they need to have men do the dangerous job of actually climbing under the bridge to preform any actual needed maintenance.

[@DobyxRC]

Great video guy's, I assume that last shot was done by reversing and speeding up the video... :-) Nice trick, I use it on some of my real estate vid's. Thank you for the honest and informative review.

[@iglyduckling]

wow, I'm really impressed how stable it was, when you were adjusting exposure at the bay scene, It was like a picture taken using tripod. My phantom 3 professional is arriving tomorrow, can't wait! I do have a question, I saw some rolling shutters when it pans quickly, is it pretty bad? will the drone survive if it falls into salt water?

[@stacygalore7279]

Fabulous!

[@stevenelliott3444]

Love that video

[@JQUICK21]

When you can program it to follow you around, that will be the ultimate! I want to be out on my Superjet jet ski have the Phantom following and filming me!!

[@JDLVHIGHROLLER]

Quick2000 check out autoflightlogic.com/autopilotphantom 3rd party app, that is in beta for Phantom 3 - seems like it the answer.

[@JQUICK21]

Thank You JD, I never got a notice that you had replied here, sorry!

[@growingyourbaby]

I am dying to get one of these!

[@AMIGOS-AMIGAS]

its so nice

[@TheSwitchbackRiders]

PLEASE TAKE NOTE! The camera in this and the Inspire 1 is NOT good enough to be used in major motion picture and television use. I used the Inspire 1 last week on Hell on wheels and the editors said the 4K had aliasing issues and could not be used. For indy and youtube im sure its ideal but not for Union, high budget shows.. Maybe next year :(

[@vkumar95aviator]

RobscoRC lol

[@numbah12time]

RobscoRC What about my POV HD porn shoots?

[@vkumar95aviator]

Mister Opioid what?

[@BigfootBilliards]

RobscoRC yeah your gonna want to show up with an s900 or s1000, and some real nice cameras. i got trained by guys who have been on a movie set and they said you need to have a system that can hold different cameras.

[@BigfootBilliards]

Jake .B *EDIT* Trained by guy who have been drone pilots on a movie set

[@Linescrew1Canada]

I just ordered mine!

[@billjoyce]

They are nice. A friend was trying to add gimbals, etc, to his Phantom 2 Vision and then the 3 Pro came out, so he bought it. His wife is a bit unhappy, but he is glad to have it.
