I'm Andrew hole CNET and I'm here taking a look at the DJI phantom 3 the latest consumer drone from DJI that's been given a significant boost to let it shoot 4k video as well as fly indoors now physically as you can see it's very similar to the previous model with its four rotors on top but there are a whole bunch of updates to take note of the pro model is now able to shoot at 4k resolution at frame rates up to 30 frames a second you will still see of course the stabilizing gimbal underneath which helps give nice smooth video when you're flying through the air underneath the unit you'll see this new chap now this has two sensors that actually let it scan the ground what that does is allow you to fly indoors with the same stability that you'll find outdoors the video feed will still stream to your phone or your tablet which will mount on the controller and the controller itself is very similar to before as well so existing drone users will find it every bit as easy to fly you will notice on the corners though there are some camera controls letting you change the camera settings while the drone is in the air the app is having updates as well and giving you manual camera control as well as the ability to quickly share your videos that you've just shot or even broadcast live to YouTube you'll still find features like a fail-safe return to home if the battery runs out and you can expect to get around 20 to 23 minutes of flight time from a single charge the pro model that comes with a 4k video will set you back 1159 pounds well the advanced model which has 1080p video recording will cost a little less at 899 both models are available for pre-order right now and we'll be shipping towards the end of April I'm Andrew Hoyle for CNET and this is the DJI phantom 3 you
