Description of π White DJI Phantom 3 Advanced Quadcopter
quadcopter control: radio channel flight speed up to 16 m/s flight time up to 23 min with camera (12.40 MP) video recording (1080p) GPS weight: 1280 g
Pros
- High quality shooting, easy control, gimbal operation - just gorgeous! I really like the DJI GO app. Flies away and returns, what else do you need :)
Cons
- Sometimes, but very rarely, the connection is lost and it is very scary. I also don't like that the blades sometimes get into the frame.
Pros
- Lightweight, durable, maneuverable, fast, not afraid of even strong winds (although you need to get used to it), easy to manage, flexibly configured, high quality and many video modes, there is raw for photos, many accessories and improvements are available, you can use third-party software with new chips, good communication range even in the basic version, a lot of "smart" chips for an inexperienced pilot, regular software ates, really low video signal delay on the remote control, you can connect video glasses or an external TV set; works great with iOS and Android
Cons
- The calibration of the built-in compass is constantly lost, before each flight it is necessary to twist it, sometimes several times; not very reliable GPS - worse than in a smartphone, sometimes it gets lost after takeoff and it starts to storm, be blown away by the wind and difficult to land if there are cramped conditions or a slight wind; for launching and landing you need a flat area, otherwise it easily falls and damages the blades; Can't take photos while playing video often does not detect the pressing of the video recording button immediately after the photo and it happened that it flew in vain, without shooting; it happens that it glitches - it shows that the battery is sharply discharged and breaks for an emergency landing in any place, there were very risky moments over the forest or the sea, barely saved; for some reason, the horizon at the camera gets lost even after adjustment and you have to spend precious flight time on reconfiguring; categorically does not accept even light rain, and if it is cloudy you have to be extremely careful, there is no protection against drops and is not additionally placed; does not hold all maneuvers
Pros
- Really flies for 2 kilometers in country conditions. Clear video with the ability to change the exposure. "Liquid" suspension that gives excellent stabilization. In calm weather, it hangs so that you can go to drink tea))) Ability to fly indoors. Flying behind an object, flying by waypoints.
Cons
- Battery for ~ 20 minutes - minus 3-5% for calibration and tuning, and it takes 60 minutes to charge. The return home is not accurate, + - 5 meters, I almost sat on the roof of the car, I have to turn off the autopilot 5-10 meters from the ground. There is no auto exposure, in flight you are distracted by manual twisting. The main disadvantage is that it flies away and does not return. Tip: always calibrate the compass, sit down immediately if an inscription like "compas error" appears and take it in for repair. Don't fly high and far when the wind force is greater than the maximum speed of the quad. Flying away, the wind can be favorable, but when returning, it is already oncoming. Well, do not fly over the forest. When falling into a forest or most likely onto a tree, it will be difficult to get it, if you get it, then its condition can be deplorable.
Pros
- Excellent flight speed, HD video recording, about 20-25 minutes in the air
Cons
- They are not here
