SAN FRANCISCO – 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.
To help out your poor credit card, DJI introduced the Phantom 3 Standard, a quadcopter that looks a lot like its line mates, but at $799, it costs hundreds less. Also, to celebrate the company’s 10th anniversary, DJI has cut the price to $499 with no end date set for the promotion.
At its $500 price, the Standard is tough to beat. You might be able to find a quadcopter with similar features from someone else, but it won’t be as polished a product — from unboxing to flight — as the Phantom 3 Standard.
