DJI was already a world leader in drone technology when it launched its phantom three quad copters but to keep that lead you have to offer more than models for enthusiasts enter the phantom 3 standard an entry-level model that's as easy to use as its pricier line mates but with a streamlined feature set originally $800 DJI cut the price to 500 for its 10th anniversary with no end date set for the promotion at that price it's hard not to recommend this little quad for anyone wanting to explore aerial photography setup couldn't be easier the battery gets about 20 minutes of flight time the built-in camera produces good results and DJI includes an 8 gig microSD card to get you started download the Go app and connect your device to the controller and you've got your view from the camera flight and system data and control over the camera and settings the controller here doesn't have the range or the extra controls of the higher-end models which is the biggest corner cut it also lacks the visual positioning system of the others that makes it easier to fly indoors without GPS there are a few other features lost along the way to get the price down but no real deal breakers at its lower price and you still get DJ eyes intelligent flight options including Waypoint navigation and Follow Me modes it might be the company's entry-level model but it doesn't fly like
