Quality and Design:

The Phantom 3 Standard pretty much resembles the other members of its family but there are a few differences when it comes to the appearance though. The battery and other electronics are packed neatly inside a plain and elegant plastic material. Other than this, it also consists of a landing gear which is connected to the bottom of the drone while the gimbal on the other hand is connected to the landing arms of the drone. Other than this, the quality of the drone is exceptional too. The material used to design the drone is sturdy and durable perfect for long-term use.

Thus, this exclusively designed drone is not only elegant but is also made of high-grade material which is enduring and will certainly last for a long duration of time.

Weight and Dimensions:

The lightweight and easy to handle drone weighs 2 pounds 11 ounces only. This makes it quite easy to handle and keep in a bag pack. Other than this, the exact dimensions, that is, the length, width and height of the drone are 19 x 19x 18 inches approximately.

The drone, DJI Phantom 3 Standard, has a single large battery which has a 4480mHa capacity. The total flight time of the drone in air is 21 minutes which is almost equal to most of the other drones in the market. One thing which most of the customers usually complain about is its long time to get the battery charged. You have to plug the battery for almost 50 minutes before it's fully done.

The performance on the other hand is impeccable. You can control the drone with the help of the touch screen functionality and also the remote control which comes along with it. The DJI Phantom 3 runs at a speed of 35 miles/hour horizontally whereas the vertical speed is almost 11 miles/hour. However the stability cannot be guaranteed as the quadcopter isn't built for stunts.
