Flight Range: 1km to 5km
The DJI Phantom 3 is by far one of our favorite all-around drones.
The drone comes in four versions (with varying control distances):
1. The Phantom 3 Standard (1 km) — The Phantom 3 Standard offers less features than the other versions, but it is also the cheapest. Even so, it has a 25-minute flight time, can shoot 2.7K video, and it takes 12 megapixel still photos. This puts the Phantom 3 Standard ahead of many other drones in its price range.
2.The Phantom 3 4K (1.2 km) — The Phantom 3 4K is similar to the Standard except it comes with an upgraded camera that offers 4K video capture capability, and flight distance increases by 200m.
3. The Phantom 3 Advanced (5 km) — Like the Standard, The Phantom 3 Advanced shoots 2.7k video and takes 12 megapixel stills, but control distance increases to a whopping 5 km and it offers live FPV (first person view) streaming of the camera’s view to your controller.
4. The Phantom 3 Professional (5 km) — The Phantom 3 Professional’s video quality takes a massive jump up to 4K, making it an excellent choice for professional pilots.
For $449 for the Standard up to $799 for the Professional, you can’t go wrong with any of these amazing long range quadcopters.
