The DJI Phantom 3 is arguably the best professional drone for the money.
The drone comes in four versions:
1. The Phantom 3 Standard— 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 Standard ahead of most other drones in its price range.
2.The Phantom 3 4K — 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 to 1200m.
3. The Phantom 3 Advanced — 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.
4. The Phantom 3 Professional — The Phantom 3 Professional’s video quality takes a massive jump up to 4K, making it an excellent choice for professional pilots.
All of these drones come with DJI’s intelligent flight modes: Course Lock, Follow Me, Waypoints, Point of Interest, and Home Lock.
For $449 for the Standard up to $799 for the Professional, you can’t make a bad choice with any of these amazing quadcopters.
