Cheaper DJI Phantom 3 Standard now at $799

Last April, DJI announced two new drones in their line-up. However, the DJI Phantom 3 Advanced model has a price tag of $999PHP 58,627INR 84,665EUR 951CNY 7,271 while the Professional costs $1,259PHP 73,885INR 106,700EUR 1,199CNY 9,163, both of which are pricier than ever.

This week, DJI has announced a cheaper alternative, the Phantom 3 Standard.

DJI Phantom 3 Standard specs:
12.4 megapixel camera with Sony EXMOR 1/2.3 sensor
FOV 94° 20 mm (35 mm format equivalent) f/2.8 lens

What is missing compared to the Advanced and Professional versions are the absence of the downward-facing camera, the LightBridge for live-streaming, and the ability to connect to GLONASS satellites.

Video recording mode:

We’ve had an older DJI Phantom drone last year but that model needs to be attached to a GoPro in order to shoot stills and record videos.
