Phantom 3 Standard with 2.7K Camera and 3-Axis Gimbal is rated 4.6 out of 5 by 133 .

Rated 4 out of 5 by Anonymous from Fun Drone, read the downloaded user manual if unfamiliar The product does not come with a full manual, it has to be accessed from the DJI website or through the DJI Go app. The app has a good landing feature, but if used at low altitude, the craft will fly up to the predetermined safe height instead of landing from it's current altitude. So watch out if trees or obstructions are above when using the landing software. Left controller sticks when pressed down, which I think is a landing feature in this model that works well, but first few times when landing, the craft suddenly flies sideways on the ground damaging the propellers. I can never get the compass to calibrate. DJI support is no help. Recommend to buy the propeller guards.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Chris P. from Easy to fly, great value Why buy a drone that cannot shoot 4K? Because it is only $. I bought this to learn how to fly with the assumption that I would buy a more expensive model later. I probably will but this one does what I want right out of the box. DJI has clearly had time to work out any bugs and add requested features. It is actually easier and safer to fly than the toy I had previously. I can easily get shots that previously would have required both a dolly and a jib. Only down side so far is the flimsy smartphone holder.Be sure to buy extra batteries for the drone and a sunshade for the smartphone.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Richard from First Drone First RC Flying Model I am an amateur photographer with an interest in video. A friend showed me his DJI Phantom - I fell in love! The video was amazing! I bought one from B&H about 10 days ago. Today was my maiden flight. No Crashes No Problems. I am a total noob when it comes to RC Model flying, I was impressed that I could fly this without crashing it! I started with automated take off and landing. It worked! I practiced with the flight simulator on the app before the flight. I was able to take off and land manually. Easier than I thought! Video quality is excellent! Great drone for a great price! Dick F

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Easy to learn Ready to fly right out of the box. Well, you'll have to charge the batteries. And read the directions. And register with the FAA. But, it's easy to learn on your first time out. I recommend staying about 12 inches from the ground until you get the hang of the controls. When your drone turns around, your controls are now backwards. Take the time to practice. It will pay off. I do not recommend using it near water until you are an expert. The first few times you may need to bring it down fast and hard. It says you can fly in 20 mph winds but I wouldn't take it out in more than 5 mph. It can be really difficult to control. Make sure you know the laws (on FAA.com) and know where the airports are.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Great product! This is my first real quadcopter. I've owned many toy quality copters over the years. This thing is awesome! It may be the low end of the Phantom 3s, but it is loaded with quality. The camera is crystal clear HD and the gimbal is stabile and precise. The GPS holds the machine as solid as a rock even in a breeze. The auto takeoff and land features are practically fool proof. I love the DJI Go app and it gives you everything you need to be in complete control of the craft. I took amazing videos and pictures on my first flight as if I had been flying it for years. I love this Phantom 3 Standard!

Rated 3 out of 5 by The Suburban Hippie Photographer from I would say 3.5 to 3.75 stars This isn't my first camera drone. I am a fairly experienced drone operator. For the money, it is a 5 star device as compared to the other drones. However, when rating this on its own, I can't give it that high of rating for a few concerns. I will go over some of this quads many positives first. A. The complete camera control through the DJI GO app is utterly amazing. You can control not only when to snap a picture, or video segment, but white balance, where the exposure metering is taken from, etc. B. The 3 axis gimbal is rock solid! C. There is plenty of detail in the 2.7K recordings. In my opinion, it looks BETTER than the Phantom 3 Advanced in 2.7K mode. D. The price. DJI is really trying to make the bottom or the drone market fall out in their favor. It is pretty amazing what they charge for this, considering what a Phantom II, Vision Plus cost. Cons, A. This camera suffers badly from purple fringing. I am sure it is the same in all editions of the quad. Whether it be the Standard, Advanced, or Pro as they all three have the same lens. You can remove a lot of the LOOK of it in post, but it is there all the same. B. DJI is known for constant software updates. While the procedure to update this seems less archaic than the one for both the Advanced, and Pro, it is still very time consuming and irritating. I had to toggle back and forth between wifi routers to get this done. C. The link from the quad to the Smart Phone, will lock up. After some experimentation I am sure it does this for me because the ram on my phone gets filled up. Once it is full, the app stops communicating with the quad. Once this happens, I can run my Ram cleaning app, and it will reconnect. Video is more prone to do this than pictures. Conclusion: All of that said, I do not regret my purchase. The future of drones is really uncertain. More and more there are state parks that outright ban them. They are already banned in National parks, so that the places you would like to fly them are off limits. That being said, I think it is a good idea to spend as little as you can on drones. With this one, you don't pay a lot, but you will likely get enough for your needs.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Meo Gutz from Unbelievable!!! Amazing!!! I could not believe how easy it is to fly this drone. I was a little skeptical to buy it and afraid that it would just be a waste of money. The photos and especially the videos are excellent. I took my time reading and watching videos before I start to fly this drone. I own big copters with HD videos that I had to regularly adjust for stability when flying but not this drone. DJI is very stable to fly and the photos/videos quality are just amazing.
