Expert review by : Ali Jennings (techradar.com)
DJI's new quadcopter makes high quality aerial footage both accessible and affordable
Value for money ; Great for those just starting out ; Simple design and operation ; Easy to fly
Uses Wi-Fi rather than Lightbridge ; Lacks the positioning cameras of the Advanced and Pro
If you were thinking about getting the Phantom 3 Pro or Advanced but were put off by the price, then the Phantom 3 Standard should make your mind up once and for all! It's affordable, easy to fly and has a good camera.

Simple to fly and great camera ; Fast and Stable ; Great value
Nothing... yet

Drones are really starting to take off (if you'll excuse the pun) with them turning up everywhere from conceptual futuristic home delivery services to TV news. So whether it's using them for fun, or for profesionally capture - and they've been used to...
Easy to fly, 4K recording, YouTube live-streaming at the press of a button, safety features for beginners, 1.2 mile range, great stability for capture, less lens distortion
Can't remove the camera, Phantom 2 owners can't use their old batteries, no frame-rate greater than 60fps (1080p) or 30fps (4K)
The DJI Phantom 3 Professional is a joy to use and one of the most accessible drones we've flown. The mass of pro-spec features, approachability and ease of use make this a real winner.

A much more affordable Phantom 3, the Standard is an ideal quadcopter for beginners and has some great features, as well as a great camera. Here's our DJI Phantom 3 Standard review.
The intelligent flying modes may not be the easiest to use, but they do allow you to get smooth shots that would be near impossible with a Phantom 2. The Go app is also a huge improvement, but the biggest gains are crucially in photo and video quality....
Expert review by : Joshua Goldman (cnet.co.uk)
DJI's ready-to-fly Phantom 3 Advanced and Professional camera drones are remarkably simple to operate, which makes them great for people entering the hobby. What's not so great: their prices.
The DJI Phantom 3 Standard is a ready-to-fly quadcopter with a built-in camera that captures good 2.7K-resolution video that's very stable thanks to an excellent integrated three-axis gimbal. It has the Intelligent Flight Modes found on the company's...
The camera can't be removed or upgraded; landing gear doesn't collapse and isn't easily removed for travel.
For its $499 sale price, the DJI Phantom 3 Standard is the best beginner quadcopter you're going to find for the money. If and when the price jumps back to its original $799, the Standard will be a much tougher sell against DJI's other excellent models...

The budget Phantom camera drone jettisons some functionality, but its core greatness remains
Maintains many of its pricier brethren’s abilities ; Easy to fly ; Superb photo and video quality
Limited range compared to other Phantom 3 drones ; Simplified controller
Pretty fly for a cheap DJI

Expert review by (which.co.uk)
The DJI Phantom 3 Standard is one of the Chinese company's more affordable drones. Has quality been sacrificed with the lower price, or is it a brilliant and more budget-friendly buy? You'll have to read our full review to find out how smoothly this...

The DJI Phantom 3 Standard delivers the safety, reliability, and video quality you expect from a Phantom at a price that appeals to entry-level pilots.
Expert review by : Jim Fisher (pcmag.com)
The Phantom 3 4K captures stable ultra high-definition video from the air and includes all of the safety features you expect from a DJI drone.
