DJI Phantom 3-drone does 4K and live-streaming

DJI Phantom 3-drone does 4K and live-streaming

Amazing how rapid these puppies evolve. More powerful and a more affordable model is covering this release. The new DJI Phantom 3 drones now can stream live video to YouTube as well. The Phantom 3 Professional, which costs $1,259 can shoot in 4K at 30 frames per second.

The ultra high definition format is four times the resolution of 1080p HD, which offers video-makers greater leeway to crop and pan across their footage after it has been shot.

The entry level Phantom 3 Advanced will cost just $999 when it launches later this month. For comparison, the Phantom 2 Vision+, which also uses a three-axis gimbal for spectacularly smooth video footage, was priced at $1,299 when it launched last year.


DJI is also offering a more premium "Professional" version of the Phantom 3 priced at $1,259, but the only difference in this upgrade is an improved camera capable of capturing 4K ultra-high definition video at 30 frames per second. For most "prosumer" and casual users, we feel the Advanced model's 1080P HD camera and its 60 frames per second recording capabilities will be more than enough.


We're especially glad that the camera appears to be the only difference between the Professional and Advanced models. That means all of the new features, including live HD view, instant sharing, automatic video editing, and, perhaps most impressive of all, indoor flying will all be included on the $999 model.

As for the live video stream, 720p HD video is sent out over distances up to a mile thanks to DJI's "Lightbridge" technology. The company says its newest drones will feature almost no latency when viewing the live streaming video feed from the embedded camera. In terms of flight, the four motors on the Phantom 3 are more efficient, which the company says has led to an increased max flight time of 23 minutes. The Phantom 3 can fly at 16 meters per second, ascends at 6 meters per second, and descends at 2 meters per second.

Toys for boys ... but pretty cool ones though.

This is not a 'drone'. It's a quad-copter. It's remote controlled. A drone is automated. It can be modified to become a drone, by adding additional components, but as it stands it requires a pilot.

Nope. Even dji states drone/quadrotor.

Uav is unmanned aerial vehicle = aircraft/heli without pilot IN it.
All uavs/most drones still require a pilot on the "ground".
Even if its just to turn it on (rc stuff).

Plus, male bees/wasps/worker ants etc. have been called drones before there were multirotors...

These drones are so cool. Pretty great for filming. Here is a video of someone who put his to use. Not the same drone advertised here but its still a neat video.
