How would you compare DJI Phantom 3 with Mavic?
The Phantom 4 has been available in various iterations for some time now. Can you even buy the Phantom 3 anymore?
just when you think you have bought that last bit of gear you wanted…….. along comes this video. maybe the Sony A9 will have to wait a bit longer now!
really useful video. keep up the good work
Someone just got a new toy ? I'm not hating but i thought i would just correct you, there are 4 Phantom 3s. The standard, advanced, professional, 4k (standard with a 4k camera). The professional is the best of all of them with a 4k camera and great range and features. I got myself a 3 Professional and i love it however i regret not getting a 4. Despite that when I'm flying i honestly couldn't see a need for the upgrade to the 4 really, i love it when I'm flying it. Do not be put off buying it as it is one of the best products i have brought. BTW i love your videos have a great day!!
Great video on what is becoming the 'in' photographic accessory.
However as a Photographer and a RC model flyer, please note there are some laws around usage of drones. Please check out the BMFA (British Model Flying Association)/mutli-rotor for guidance around UK legislation.
Unfortunately irresponsible and dangerous use of these devices is causing significant harm to the sport of model flying and is already causing some major changes to the legislation for us flyers. So please use these great tools responsibly.
PS: please note it is also illegal in the UK (and many other countries) to undertake aerial work with these devices without a special licence.
Wow, just imagine the different type of shots you could get with this, incredible.
the phantom 3 comes in 3 versions the professional , advanced are both discontinued – the phantom 3 standard is newest p3 and is still being manufactured
Lovely content! Keep it up!
