consumer drone technology might still be in its early stages but DJI and its phantom three drones show why the company is out in front of the category coming in just below its top-of-the-line professional model is the Phantom 3 advanced which is packed with all the same features that make flying breathtakingly simple and safer but has a full HD camera instead of the pros 4k resolution shooter unless you really want to need the extra resolution the advanced camera is pretty great and captures plenty of fine detail from the sky and with its improved GPS performance you can get it to hold just the right position for you to get the shot you're after you can even get it to stay steady indoors using this new set of sensors on the bottom there are improvements all around actually from the controller which gives you better video transmission from the drone and physical controls for the camera to the mobile app with its access to all the settings an important flight data you need and a fast video editor so you can cut up your clips before sharing about the only thing that's not noticeably improved is battery life which is still around the 20 minute mark you can read the full review on cnet.com but if you've got a thousand dollars and want to start shooting photos and video from new heights this is the place to start if you can do without the pricier professionals 4k video you can always put your savings toward extra batteries I'm Josh Coleman with CNET thanks for watching
