[@InXLsisDeo]

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]

+techtiptricks where is the seagull isnt that the street lamp?

[@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...

[@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.

michelle b DJI Phantom 3 with Extra Battery on geni.us/DJIPhantom3

[@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

[@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

[@amandaloteneski6778]

+ElektrobanK You can get one on sale on geni.us/DJIPhantom3Kit

[@obaid16195]

+ElektrobanK u can get the new 4k one for cheaper only difference is on the display quality will be 480p and connected by wifi , for only 800 dollars www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1208608-REG/dji_phantom_3_4k.html

[@BenTroxell]

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

[@okaycoward]

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

[@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

[@Deetronic]

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

[@RC944jim]

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

[@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

[@KenHeron]

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

[@tonneauguys6448]

What's the Range KH?

[@adlabyrinth]

Amazing shots norman chan. You truly have a talent.

[@charlesgreco5559]

I'm convinced...I bought mine three days ago and the ease of flying is great. Still learning about the camera and struggling with the new downloads but should prevail soon. Thanks for the excellent video.

[@alan0guy]

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

[@easterislehead]

That last shot, through the arm, WOW!

[@StarCrusher.]

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

[@aaronbyrne2310]

waiting for mine to arrive, cant wait! That end scene was fantastic!

[@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.

[@XAMS]

Wow, that was a pretty sick closing shot.

[@MrJackPL]

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

[@TRAVERSALMIND]

that last part flying thru the arm backwards very nice shot

[@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.

[@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.

[@chuckmeyer6340]

So far this is a great Quad. Much fun to be had yet...

[@stephenanderson2942]

That outro shot was really really cool!!

[@dimassaputro47]

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

[@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.

[@SoCal_FPV]

I got the pro and I'm more then satisfied with the stability and video quality. Amazing technology and easy to use.

[@mrcharrington1]

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

[@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?

[@FBMoy]

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.

[@RoadTripTravel]

I want one! The camera looks really good.

[@TheHutchMusic]

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

[@LakeNormanMike]

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

[@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.

[@EoRdE6]

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

[@reddcube]

That last shot was crazy.

[@JamieStreet]

Wow, that last shot!

[@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!

[@derisco31]

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

[@DoctorRennie]

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

[@SLRHUT]

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

[@daniiboyy]

wow . that ending scene was awesome!!

[@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!

[@shaneoren1178]

Great overview thanks. It really gave me a good sense of the new DJI

[@GetADronenet]

Great review of the Phantom 3

[@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 :)

[@mvmacneil]

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

[@searchmyinventorysearchmyi5295]

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

[@davidditzler2704]

Great exit shot Eric!

[@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.

[@ryankim7174]

DUDE THAT IS AMAZINGLY COOL

[@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.

[@PBOstfriesland]

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

[@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.

[@oaklandsdad]

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

[@MikeG-js1jt]

I'm really impressed with the hover stillness

[@danny_mixmandan_james]

Awesome! I just brought one and did my first test flight today... the Gimbal lock is a swine to get back on though! Also you mentions it uses Russian satellites.. does not really help us down here in Sydney Australia where I've just found out today that a lot of populated areas are no-fly zones as well as DJI have limited the drone to 400m elevation... I'de love to get it higher, say in the outback... but to fly in populated zones or do shots for real estate (AKA make money) we have to do a course and certification which is $10,000 aussie dollars! I have the Phantom 3 Standard with the 2.7k cam which so far on my first test flight was good - just remember (as I learned) keep the front pointing away from you so if you toggle left it goes left.. if it's facing you goes right as it's facing the opposite direction - would be nice if DJI came up with a POV from the remote so no matter which way the aircraft is pointing it would move in conjunction to your POV - so basically regardless of if it's facing forward, towards you or sideways it will stick left or right... it's only my first day using it so maybe there is a way of doing that.. just have to learn it! Awesome aircraft though and I'll have as much fun as I can in our limited fun-police controlled Australia! Check out my wall for the first test flight - the footage is amazing!

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

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

[@NHLcrazy95]

Is the DJI Phantom 3 waterproof? Or can it at least withstand rain? Also, how durable is it? I've had drones that are really hard to land and usually crash, thus breaking it. Can it be flown in strong winds?

[@RavenPH12]

+NHLcrazy95 P3 is not waterproof. As far as I know.

[@westplays1037]

+NHLcrazy95 By using GPS it has high control in winds, and should barely be moved in even the most extreme winds. Furthermore, with the auto-land feature, its landings are always smooth.

[@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

[@user_e]

Only after purchasing the advanced did I realise the low quality video downlink transmitted to my iPad Mini 4. Would have purchased pro if I had known of this but even DJI staff like this guy don't point it out. It is throttled to 2Mbps and not the pros 10Mbps...

[@nostopinLucR]

Great video, answers all my questions. Thanks

[@PhillyDrones]

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

[@GasserGlass]

The best thing about the Phantom 3 is.... the price will drop on the Phantom 2 yippie WHY the battery isn't the same is a HUGE downfall....all the battery's should be the same as the 2 !!!

[@davidditzler2704]

GasserGlass I've your going to make it better you can't have everything backwards compatible. I don't see this as a HUGE downfall. The batteries don't last forever anyways.

[@adam_g.]

By having a different battery, they make more money. People have to upgrade, or buy new batteries if they want extra with the three.

[@dhollow175]

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

[@RubenRabagoRR5]

HI, where was that filmed in CA? Nice video mates much improved CAM cheers

[@Supreme-Emperor-Mittens]

*17:41** - Aliens walking on Earth...* *CONFIRMED !!!*

[@noaidesign]

VL VIDEOS Ha Ha - good one.

[@Supreme-Emperor-Mittens]

***** Nope - its morning time where I am

[@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!

[@GranVlog]

I wish i had the money to get one... with these features, the p3 pro is now the perfect plattform. even video production.

[@DanielS-zq2rr]

that ending was sick hahaha

[@TakanashiYuuji]

This technology is really taking off.

[@EGOS42]

I'm very excited for this product. I'll be saving my nickels and dimes for the pro version and a couple extra batteries. That's a lot of quadcopter and camera for the money. The footage was spectacular (barring the 24FPS downgrade in this video).

[@NilsNehrenheim]

ill buy your one!

[@michaelbeiler7164]

We're in 2023 now, i get this is an old drone and there's lot better ones and more updated ine out there, but less than a year ago i bought my first phantom 3 pro, my 4th drone all together, rest were walmart drones or something cheap but i love my phantom 3 pro

[@geralddy1022]

Hi Mr Ching... When you buy the Dji pho thom 3 professional what are the packages that comes with it? Apps is free and what about the carrying case? What is the carrying case made of?

[@stevensam1313]

Hey, when are you going to test both (advanced and professional) and review the Phantom 3 yourselves? I can't wait for the in-depth Tested take on the Phantom 3... I am unable to decide on which to buy...

[@jwmphotog]

Was your video choppy? I thought it was me. Dropped down to 480 and it was still choppy. Bout drove my eyes crazy. But thanks for the review. Awesome stuff.

[@NevinXavier]

That last shot 👍🏾

[@silverismysuccess]

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

[@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?

[@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!

[@TheBigb1973]

Does the 4k camera also shoot 1080p @60 FPS? if so is the video quality the same on these 2 models if shooting 1080p?

[@samulai]

This is the kind of stuff I enjoy seeing. Not the endless Star Wars stuff. Please.

[@TBFfishing]

sounds like all of this is still in progress. I'll wait for their later models. i want that free range of motion he said the inspire 1 had

[@MrMrwilem]

wow, great video guys . Thanks for sharing

[@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.

[@WalterRiggi]

Does the camera record in a LOG or 'FLAT' for color grading? AND, can you map out a route and just control the camera only?

[@danny_mixmandan_james]

Forgot to ask - I heard somewhere that a soon to be released update will be able to keep the Phantom focused on you - so say if you set it at 10m away and at 10m above the ground then if you're riding a bike it will automatically follow you and keep you in frame - is this true and if not you should do that as hard to control a UAV and ride a bike plus keep the camera aimed at you. That would be a great feature as long as it had also the feature that you're so carried away and posing and there's a tree in the way of the Phantom you don't wreck it lol

[@BenTroxell]

"Follow me" mode already exists in the current firmware.

[@RMoribayashi]

Venus would be a great candidate for a long still exposure test. It's up fairly high in the sky at dusk every clear night for most of this (2015) summer. Any movement would show up as streaking or blurring. You'd have to find another launch point, the fog rolls in the bay just about the same time.

[@CostaApostolou]

bought a Phantom 3 Advanced but the Pro went on sale and returned it for the Pro that's coming Monday, I can't wait.

[@vanhanit]

We bought a Phantom 2 Vision+ about a year ago. The machine is quite nice but the customer service is terrible (at least for us). From start we had problems with an unfocused camera (blurry image) and after a lot of work got it sent to DJI for repair. 5 weeks later we got it back but nothing had been done on it! We had to fix the focus problem ourself by carefully disassemble the camera and adjust the focus of the lens. Needless to say that we will think twice before buying something from DJI again.

[@vanhanit]

Sadly no. We tried to explain and show that the picture quality was blurry. If they did something to repair it it I guess they maybe changed the camera electronics (but I doubt that). However the experience was bad and the cost of shipping it for repair was put on us. It would have been nice if the camera or the whole gimbal were replaced, but that isn't the case. Even though we repaired it ourself as best as possible it still doesn't feel quite sharp, but it's much better than it was.

[@oO_ox_O]

Thomas Vanhaniemi > _and the cost of shipping it for repair was put on us_Are you in the EU?

[@vanhanit]

o_O Yes, Finland to be more exact.

[@rosenbergjerusalem6055]

Sehr gut gemachtes Video!!

[@TravellerYT]

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

[@TheVideoVolcano]

Best gimbal known the man

[@musalingur123]

So..... I have a question. I live in Iceland where high winds are a big problem for RC helicopters, And an electronic store just started to sell the phantom 2 vision plus. I was just wandering, what are the optimal weather conditions?

[@JYFilms]

it took me 8 times to see but it reversed footage...the dead giveaway is the car turning right In the top right corner of the scene at the end...still an EXCELLENT shot
