The F.A.Q. for Dji Manufacturer Accessories Water Resistant Hardshell (CP.PT.000168)

The bundle: good value, has everything you need to get started and fly for 40 minutes at a go. The extra battery (an oem battery, not a knock-off) is worth $100 on its own. I took one star off because the hard case is really not designed to fit the phantom 3 standard controller. The drone fits fine, but some case modification is required for the controller to fit without rubbing or pressureon the antenna. I asked sse p&v about this and they recommended putting the controller in on its side, which is impossible. . The best fit i got was by removing the phone clip, folding the plastic arm against the back and the antenna down parallel to the controller face, and putting the controller in the case with the gimbals facing the center of the case. You will need to push the gimbals inward slightly (or modify the opening) and the antenna hinge point will impact the upper foam clamshell and will be under pressure when the case is zipped up, unless you cut out a small channel in the top side. Even unmodified, it's not a terrible fit, but it's clearly not designed for this controller, it's designed for the p3 adv/pro or p4 controllers, which have two flat antennas instead of one round one. Note also that propellers and prop guards must be removed before packing up the drone (propellers easy, prop guards pita) and the prop guards won't really fit into the case at all. Four batteries will fit (1 in drone, 3 in slots) as well as everything else included in the bundle. An iphone-sized device would fit as well, but probably not an ipad mini or larger. Not without case modification. . The drone: it flies great out of the box and it has several "intelligent" modes including follow me, circle poi, waypoint mission, etc. With appropriate filters (not included, but recommended) it takes excellent hd video and stills for casual or light commercial use. As a traditional rc airplane/copter pilot i find flying the phantom almost ridiculously easy. An "auto take-off" and "auto land" button in the app? crazy easy. Hover in place (with active gps) is rock solid even in 15mph winds. Return-to-home is accurate within 2 or 3 feet though i'd recommend having a 6' radius cylinder free of obstruction from ground up to your rth altitude (configurable in the app). The "intelligent" modes are fun and useful for setting up different types of video shots. Taking a scenic hike? use follow me mode. Trying to capture a steam train as it goes by? use course lock. A video guidebook to a local/state/national park (follow faa regs! )? use waypoint missions. Budding filmmakers can do great things with this "starter" drone, but get your credit limit ready for the inevitable upgrade to a mavic or phantom 4. . Note 1: most dji pilots seem to recommend *not* upgrading firmware unless the upgrade fixes an issue you know you are having, or enables a feature you know you need. If it's flying fine, don't mess with the firmware. . Note 2: this drone must be registered with the faa even if you're just flying it around your local park. Cost is $5 and takes about 10 minutes online. If you intend to fly for hire (hey i can charge $20 to take video of the local kids soccer games! ) then you or someone with you must be a certificated remote pilot in command and you'd need waivers for flying over groups of people etc. Google "faa suas" for links to the faa's relevant pages. . Note 3: the drone will fly fine in cold weather; i've flown in 20f with a breeze and it had no problem. Flying time was reduced by a few minutes perhaps. Keep the batteries warm before using them and let the drone hover for a minute to warm things up before flying. Battery will generate heat as it discharges. The weak spot will likely be your phone/tablet. My phone dropped from 100% to 5% in about 25 minutes of flying in 20f weather because i was stupid and didn't keep it warm. Easily fixed with the adhesive-backed air-activated toe warmer packs. Stick one on the back of your device and it'll stay toasty while you fly.

This was a great deal for the price it seems that i got the backpack carrier for free. I'm very happy with the quality of all the items that i received. I just wish that i would have bought the phantom 3 advanced model. The phantom 3 standard that i bought has been great especially for a beginner like me.

Great drone and great package deal. I have flown it several times and it takes great video and pictures. I did have a little trouble that my package was supposed to include the lanyard and a 32gb sd card and they were not in the original package but i called sse and they sent them out right away and they arrived in a couple of days. As for the drone and the extras i can't say enough. I am having a blast!

I purchased this in june of 2016 great price at this time i never flew a drone like this before it is very easy to operate it took about 45 min. To set up the iphone 6 watched a few youtube video's on it took it out the next day & had a lot of fun i did start off on beginner mode for about a week then set the height & distance now i am having a ton of fun no issues with dji 3 & the shipping was very fast packed very good, this is a great starter drone "dji 3 stanard" but if you want top of the line video save up & get the dji 3 "pro" or dji 4 i want to say that the video on this one is very good but if you get or have one of those 4k t. V's it would look superb !  dji phantom 3 standard with 2. 7k camera and 3-axis gimbal & manufacturer accessories + extra dji battery + water-resistant hardshell backpack + more

Y. Florence, Arkansas says

The phantom 3 is a great drone. The camera is super steady and takes great pictures and video. The drone is very easy to operate once you figure out how to get it started. The instructions are poor and it is difficult to find settings in the app without a lot of exploring. It has a nice startup feature that turns on the drone and raises is up 4 feet into the air. It will hover in place until you are ready to command it to go elsewhere. The 32gb memory card added in the bundle did not work with the camera. The backpack is perfect for the drone and accessories. I had to modify the pocket for the remote to accommodate the phone clip on the remote. The remote comes with a usb cable for charging but not the usb power unit to plug into. Although the blade guards are a nice feature, they are more or less a permanent structure once you screw them on the arms. This limits the ease of transport since the drone does not fit in the back pack with the guards installed. I definitely love this drone and would recommend it to anyone looking for a good entry level drone.

I am enjoying my phantom with my son. The only reason i didn't give a 5 star is because case came separately and did cause extra expenditures for me. Everything else was good. . Paolo

G. Monique, Hackney says

I'm really enjoying my new phantom 3 standard. After viewing every video on it i could find, i figured out what it could and what not to do. It is very easy to fly. Documentation is vague it some areas. Google and youtube are your friend. Great value for a higher end flyer.

First off, i am new to the drone world. I have bought the $80 drones that are probably somewhere over north korean air space right now. Yes, i have lost a few of these drones, never to be found again! so, i was hesitant to purchase this drone due to the cost. However, i did my research and found this phantom 3 to have enough positives for me to make the buy. . I wanted the whole deal! extra battery, phone holder, case, and all the extras i could get. It arrived on time! i was nervous unboxing it, because i feared i got myself into something i might regret. I charged the batteries, and put the drone together. Downloaded the app and updates on my phone, and decided it was time for a first flight. . Winds were about 10 to 15 mph. I was very worried, as the $80 drones would crash in these winds. I decided to give it a try anyways. First flight, 15 minutes! it was so steady! gps told me where my drone was, and i tested and tested! i got to about 80 feet, and i was nervous! i let the controller go, and set it on the ground in front of me. I wanted to test the "home" button, and see if the drone would return without using any controls! to my shock, it landed about a foot from where it took off! are you kidding me? . . Stability is insane! a gust of wind? the drone will compensate itself and remain steady and sturdy in flight! i have now taken it up for about 15 flights now, and not a single crash! taken it over 300 feet high, and my comfort levels are much better. I even flew it until the battery got low, and the drone returned back to me! . . The camera? oh, it's awesome! the stability is incredible! the quality is amazing! seriously, i can see things in my neighborhood i never noticed before! i live on a lake, so i get some amazing aerial to lake shots! the video downloads to my phone, so i don't have to even take the card out and convert it on a laptop, and deal with error codes, and computer problems. . Now to reality. I didn't tell my wife i bought a drone. She intercepted the email after i bought it. Boy, i was in the dog house. When it arrived, i got the unhappy wife looks and sparky comments about how this would end up lost. After she watched me fly it a few times, she was pleasantly surprised! i redeemed myself! lol! even my 6 year old flew it! she saw the videos and approved my purchase! finally! maybe i should move up and buy a new car now? no, let me just stay safe and wait a bit. Lol! . . The whole package deal is worth it! especially the extra battery! when the battery dies, just swap it and charge the dead one. The case is very nice, and everything is well packaged. It's worth spending the extra money. . Is it a good buy? yes! nervous? totally normal. Is it worth it? i think my review pretty much is an astounding yes!

This is a fantastic quadcopter. Extremely flexible with many unexpected advanced features. We've already used it to survey a roof at a mountain cabin, do a video tour of a property for sale, and to film the family playing in the snow. Very controllable with extremely good video. 20+ minutes of battery life as advertised. This kit has everything needed for functionality and transport with nothing missing.

U. Margaret, New Hampshire

We absolutely love our new drone. Quality packaging, great presentation, fair price and operates as advertised. However, the propeller guards that were included as part of the package were the wrong ones. They did not fit the phantom 3.

R. Cunningham, Middlesbrough says

Product arrived in good condition. It does take some time to assemble and we needed to contact dji to work out some issues before we could get it to work. I will be testing it next week up at my farm and we will see how it performs. Rjd

 my husband loves technology and i decided to purchased this baby for his 30th birthday. He absolutely loved everything about it! i loved the entire package because it included the most essential accessories, especially the backpack. It is very good quality, more than i expected, and he keeps the drone and the accessories in one place. The backpack is compartmentalized for each accessory. We have taken the phantom 3 drone on our traveling vacations and it has taken amazing shots. If you are looking for a drone with a quality camera, and not too cheap nor too pricey, this is the way to go. Check out the video.

O. Zelda, Islington says

Great product! . Arrived on time as stated. Easy to learn to fly! . Battery lasts around 20 minutes of flight time. Nice hard case style backpack. Very good quality. Great picture & video resolution!

O. Cunningham, Wiltshire

I am very pleased with my new dji phantom 3 standard drone combo package. My family are having a lot of fun with our drone and are taking a lot of cool pictures. Learning how to prep and fly was very comprehensive and was not difficult. Even working with sse customer service was very positive and i thank them for their help.
