DJI Phantom 3 Professional VS Standard

Recently, the sudden release of DJI Phantom 3 Standard has caught our attentions, and i believe most of us can’t help comparing it with other versions of Phantom 3 series. Today, let’s also have a closed look at the DJI Phantom 3 Professional and Standard to see what common features they share and how they differ from each other.

From their titles, it is obvious that the DJI Phantom 3 Professional is higher grade than the Standard which is designed for beginners. In my opinion, there is not difference on their appearance except for colors. Professional offers golden, and Standard comes with more color choices including red, pink, blue and green.

As professional version, of course its configurations will more high-end. It adopts the  advanced 4K camera shooting high definition pictures and 1080p HD videos. Standard is not bad with a 2.7K camera, the video is in definition of 720. But compared with Professional, the difference is visible. However, in the aspect of power system, they hold the same components, offering fast response and long flight time.

DJI Phantom 3 Standard is designed to get access to more users, it is easier to control than the Professional, that’s for sure. But the shortened remote control distance would make some people unhappy. DJI Phantom 3 Professional offers super long remote control distance up to 2000m, while Standard’s is reduced to 1000m.

As to price, DJI Phantom 3 Professional is surely much more expensive than the Standard. Which one one is better depends on your operational skills and flight needs.
