Thanks for this video. I just got a Phantom 3 SE today and seeing what you did helped me a lot with some of the functions. Very interesting to see the drop mechanism too!
Great review! I love flying mine. Thanks Dustin! I am 79. Still having fun with the drones. Only flying DJI MAVIC AIR AND MAVIC AIR 2 along with the phantom 3 std. Videos like yours helps learning more about the Drones. Thanks Again. :)

+redclockdotcom Thank you! I'm glad you like my style of review. I try to come from the angle of a buyer and make it as raw as possible. I do edit out my fumbling words but like to show the viewers what to expect as a new owner. This drone was not mine so I did not get to do the full multi part (unbox, inspection, setup,flight test, pros & cons) treatment as I normally do.
Just for mine today! This helps a lot! Thanks man!

Thanks for the video. Bought one of these couple of days ago(so excited bc it's my first "real" quadcopter that is not a "toy") but only had one good flight so far because of heavy rain that has been going on here in Finland. You should calibrate the compass every time you fly in a new place, at least that's what they suggest in the phantom 3 user manual. Someone mentioned that the inaccuracy was because you changed to altitude hold mode but even in that mode if you have good GPS signal the RTH works because it wont forget the home point or turn the GPS off, just the GPS assisted flight so it won't have anything to do with the RTH inaccuracy but missing out on the compass calibration might have. Also the right side lever lowest position is for the advanced flight modes, follow me/point of interest/waypoints/home lock/course lock(headless mode). Return to home activates from the left side lever if you flip it all the way up and down more than 3 times. Inaccuracy on my RTH test was about 2-3 meters so about 7-10 feet? which isn't too bad considering everything you get in this quadcopter and btw that drop mechanism is pretty cool!
This guy creates the best review out there. He deserves way more subs that this

the single gps has nothing to do with the landing. mine lands within 3ft every time. when u armed your motors it did not say home point recorded. it landed where home point was recorded. every time I arm the motors it says home point recorded. yours didn't at that particular time

also it is always landing way to the right. why? cause wind... it is not trying to hold its position when going down on auto-land.

If you check back on the video the last time you flicked the gps switch was about the position the drone landed so it looked pretty close to me
Great video Dustin.
Nice. Drones need a parachute in board for drone fall protection
That was awesome Dustin! Thanks
Great job bud. Thanks for all the info!!! 😊❤
I love the Hubsan X4 Pro Drone Parachute Recovery System I bought on ebay for SUPER CHEAP! It will be going on my Phantom 3 Standard when it gets here. I had it installed on my 5 pound hexacopter and it worked perfectly!

+TheTwinsBlade Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
You didn't calibrate the compass before you started.....
F-mode is not failsafe mode ;) its Function mode where you can choose between funtions for the quad to perform. The failsafe you are refering to is "RTH=Return to home" and the landing when you press rth at the end is because you have to be more than 20 meters from homepoint if you are closer than 20 meters it will just land. What phone is that? For anyone who consider buying the standard, do consider what you will be using it for, currently it has issues with range, best advice would be to go for the advanced since that platform performs alot better compared to the small price increase
What camera do you use as a hatcam? Curious as the distortion is very prominent.
I think Kelly is right about the compass calibration. Perhaps that would have allowed your Phantom to land from your exact takeoff point.
I would like to see a range test of this drone in a mountain like you normally do!
How awesome! right on for the vid..I have a better understanding now....I will be getting this one you are showing, my first one also...but I don't know when I can get it...LOL....thanks again for the vid...I dig the heck out of it.

8 жыл бұрын
+ivan sikaleski correct. The P4 vision system was not working from out of the box but I wanted to fly with vision off. Then it would not come back (too windy for it I guess) and was lost. Then found it. While it was lost I purchased a new one that just came in and no issues so far. DJI is taking first defective one back to repair or replace now. More vids soon on new P4 :)
I strongly suggest calibrating compas be for each take off I didn't and my relocated its own home position to over a mile away when I flew out of range , now lives in the trees
I love the parachute drop.
I just ordered mine on Amazon.The price was under $350. I figured I'd upgrade from the Syma, GpToys, Kaideng, JJRC, and a few others. They were great to learn on, but I wanted a quad with better controls and handling. My hand got injured in an accident and I'm permanently disabled. Hopefully the DJI will give me better handling.
bought one of these today at best buy $500bucks but its a lot of fun to fly. I do highly recommend the DJI phantom 3 (standard) for ppl trying to learn. we got it up to 1600ft in air and its great. I plan to have mines wrapped and customize it 😊😊
Dude, you did awesome. I think I will order the DJI 3 4K

Great Review Dustin...I have a Phantom 3 standard and to be honest that drone you are using is not anything like mine...if I do a compass dance my drone will always land within 2 feet of launch. that quad doesnt want to work like a champ. The XK380 with the dual Sat beats my Phantom by 1 foot everytime.
I can't really tell... The video looks good to me... What are your thoughts? I'm looking into getting a drone. probably this one.
Hey man, so when you are flying the quad and you have the two smaller screens on the left hand side in the video (one showing your phone feed) and what is the smaller screen below that? Seems like it is not as choppy as the live phone view on the top mini screen (maybe the bottom one you edited?) Anyways, solid video mate
Love mine after flying the Syma X8c for a year :-)

@DustinDunnill

+Pete Finn right on Pete. Not sure about mode 2 sorry. I'm sure a search may find you some answers 👍
so I didn't look thru all the comments, but the first landing may have been off because you switched out of GPS mode and back in. my guess is that it re-recorded that as home. With the controller landing I also think there may have been a delay from launch to when it recorded it's home point. It seems to have landed to that spot it drifted to after the second launch.
I live in Maui too, awesome!
Thanx, I think u have to perform calibration to make the GPS to work accurately every time you launch the drone

With that low battery she will land asap, meaning to save itself from a crash she will land immediately!Cool chute drop! I didn't get how you launched the chute tho, do oyu explain in vid, I will have to watch from start.
Great vid mate Thanks
Good video, but the landing info that Marc Unger is exactly right. I did enjoy the video. Very cool.
Thanks for the video
I wonder if it recorded a different home point when switching through the modes in flight .
I think the drone automatically lands 10-20 feet from takeoff pos. because you wouldn't want a drone to land on you right? Btw great video and very well deatailed explanation of all the features, thanks!
What editing tool did you use to upload your dji videos?? Nice tutorial byw
do you think the return to home spot lock was determined when it took off and stabilized looked like the was the slot when i rewound the video. looking at getting one on black friday i wish i had the funds for the mavic
Hi Dustin I've noticed in other videos that you were able to get to the clouds very quickly there visibly very low where do you live my friend
plus their r settings for low voltage actions to be taken which u need to set
Pretty neat and innovative way of rigging a drop mechanism. I was actually surprised that the P3S was still able to fly with all that added weight (the added stuff for the drop, and the added weight of the parachute canister). As for engaging RTH with the S2 switch, from the DJI Phantom 3 Standard manual " Toggle the S2 switch at back and forth at least twice to initiate Smart RTH". The manual for any of these models is available as a free download at the DJI website, and might help clear up some suspected problems. Thanks for the review ... looking forward to more of your in depth reviews! Cheers.

For the Phantom 3 to return to home "in Kansas", toggle the switch two or three times, turn around four times and click your heels together twice and repeatedly say, "Therese no place like home". From the Wizard Of OZ manual! Barnes and Nobel on line.

full throttle down will give you v ring state powering up makes it worse always have forward or back speed airspeed if coming down that fast you could hear the uneven pitch in motors caused by rough air thats been thru ur props already
Another reason for being a fan of P3 Standard is that if you look at RC Groups, the P3 Standard has over 1800 posts, P3 advanced/Professional has over 55,000 post and P4 already has over 7500 posts...maybe the Standard has fewer owners (I doubt it at $499) but I'm thinking that it has fewer issues overall....just an opinion!

Hey Dustin love your video,s have you flown the phantom 3 4k drone? I have one and I love flying it. Im from new Zealand in oamaru
I just found a Phantom 3 SE, what does the SE mean compared to the other 3 types you talked about? TY
I didn't see you calibrate the gps before you launched could that be the reason for the landing distance?
So what if the drone rotated does the buttons switch like if u pull it backwards does it go backwards or is it like its at a new angel so does the side become backwards etc idk if that makes sense or not
Is this LG G5 phone? how does it work? any issues? I am thinking on getting P3 and I have LG g5
I'm buying the Phantom 3 standard soon because I want to get flying with a GPS drone. I've been flying non GPS drones and i'm finally ready for a more advanced one. I like the Mavic but it's a bit far off for me right now. I love your reviews also because they are more in depth than any other that I have seen. keep them going!

The very last return to home (when you battery was low) didn't work because the drone just lands in the same spot it was in when you aren't that far away from the home point.
