The recently announced Phantom 3 comes with its own camera—the Phantom 3 Professional shoots 4K at 30 fps, the Phantom 3 Advanced records 1920 x 1080 with a resolution up to 60 fps. Each model can be upgraded for $100 for extra battery life, as well. From a design standpoint, the Phantom 3 is very similar to its predecessor, which isn’t a bad thing, and each comes with a controller for flying and maneuvering the camera, while an app always you to keep an eye on footage. Positioning works with GLONASS (“Global Navigation Satellite System”) for an accurate flight path and stabilization. It can even stream HD video from around 1.2 miles away. Basically, it’s the consumer drone you’ve been waiting for.
