    Live Stream to Facebook from your DJI Drone

    Image by TVN Soon you will be able to stream your live view from your DJI Phantom 4, Phantom 3 or Inspire 1 directly on Facebook. Facebook announced at their F8 developer conference that DJI is one of their launch partners, enabling DJI quadcopter owners to be the first to use this new feature. While Youtube streaming has been available, this will surely get more people watching as most people have the Facebook App on their smartphone.   We imagine your Facebook friends will receive notifications when your stream goes live to ensure you always have Friends & Family watching you capture the skies.

    Another Phantom 3 Model is launched the Phantom 3 – 4K

    Another Phantom 3 Model is launched the Phantom 3 – 4K

    If three Phantom 3 Models to choose from weren’t enough now there is a fourth. Say hello to the Phantom 3 4K. At first the name is slightly confusing, does it get you the features of the Phantom 3 Professional? Is it better of worse than the Phantom 3 Advanced? Is it a better deal than the Phantom 3 Standard? These are the questions we will answer below: Link to Specs of the Phantom 3 – 4K It looks to be a Phantom 3 Standard with the 4K Camera from the Phantom 3 Professional. There are a few big differences between the P3-4K (Phantom 3 4K) and the P3P (Phantom 3 Professional) and the P3Std (Phantom 3 Standard): The P3-4K has following features compared to the P3P: Same lens and sensor Phantom 3 Advanced and Pro Remote Control housing (same as P3P but without some of the internals & USB Ports) 1.200m range FCC (vs. 5.000m) GPS Only (No GLONASS) 5.8GHz frequency used for Remote Control (vs. 2.4GHz) 2.4G WiFi Video Downlink (instead of Lightbridge HD) 57w Battery Charger (vs 100w charger on Phantom 3 Pro) 2Mbps Max Video Bitrate for FPV Stream (compared to 10Mbps on P3P due to Lightbridge) The P3-4K features following over the Phantom 3 Standard: 4K Camera with Sony Exmor R BSI sensor 12.4 effective MP (vs. Panasonic Smart FSI in P3 Std 12 effective MP) UHD: 4096x2160p 24/25, 3840x2160p 24/25/30 (Bold = New to Phantom 3 4K) FHD: 1920x1080p 24/25/30/48/50/60 HD: 1280x720p 24/25/30/48/50/60 Threaded filter ring on camera lens for additional filter types such as ND Filters Visual Positioning System (VPS) – Allows for position holding without GPS signal Phantom 3 Advanced and Pro Remote Control housing with dedicated buttons and switches: Video Recording Button Shutter Button Playback Button Flight Mode Switch Gimbal Dial 2 Dedicated Customizable Buttons SD 480P FPV Stream (not quite sure why it is not the same as P3 Std at HD 720P) FCC rating has increased to 1200m (from 1000m on Std) CE stays at 500m Pricing – $999 (Initially we found a price of $899) For the estimated price the Phantom 3 4K is a decent choice for beginners that want more features than the Phantom 3 Standard has to offer. If 4K Video, Visual Position System or having a nicer Remote Control is important to you then you should choose the Phantom 3 4K over the Phantom 3 Standard. However, due to the $999 pricing we would pick the Phantom 3 Advanced for the same money.  ...

    5 things you didn’t know about the new DJI Phantom 3 Standard Drone

    5 things you didn’t know about the new DJI Phantom 3 Standard Drone

    The Phantom 3 Professional and Advanced drones have only been out for a few short months. To ensure DJI has an offering for the even lower-priced market segment they released the Phantom 3 Standard. What’s so different about this Phantom 3 Standard quad you may ask yourself? There are a quite a few differences so it makes sense to know them all before deciding on saving the money by going with a Standard P3, or spending the extra $200 to get the Advanced. The shell of the Phantom 3 Standard is identical to that of its more-feature-rich big brothers, the Phantom 3 Advanced and the Phantom 3 Professional. The motors, ESC’s, its 4480mAh intelligent flight battery and the propellers are also the same. Once you dive a bit deeper the differences start.   No GLONASS only GPS – The P3 Standard can only receive data from the 24 GPS Satellites in orbit around the Earth. This is reduced from the 55 satellites the P3 Pro & Adv can receive. (Source: svetandroida.cz) No VPS – VPS is DJI’s Visual Positioning System which utilizes a camera facing down in addition to Ultrasonic sensors to monitor the ground below the drone. When flown within two meters (6.5ft) of the ground the VPS can identify it’s position based on patterns on the grounds surface keeping it within +/- 0.1 m (4in) of its location. Without the VPS system, the Pro & Adv stay within +/- 0.5 m (20in) vertical. The Phantom 3 Standard, therefore isn’t suited for indoor flying as indoors the GPS System alone doesn’t work. (Source: DJI) Camera & Image Sensor – The lens of the P3 Standard doesn’t have a threaded filter ring on the end, this means that filters such as the ND filters aren’t compatible. The Pro & Advanced come with a Sony 1/2.3″ Sensor with 12.4M effective pixels, on the Standard it is a Panasonic Smart FSI 1/2.3″ sensor with 12M effective pixels. Granted in terms of specs it may seem as close enough, true world examples will show us what the difference means in the real world. Here is a comparison of the Phantom 3 Series Resolutions (Professional, Advanced & Standard) [table id=2 /] Max Video Bitrate 40Mbps, same as Advanced. The Pro has a max Bitrate 60Mbps. (This is the amount of detail stored, the more the better) Both take 12MP (4000 x 3000) Still Images (JPEG & RAW) Remote Control – This is a big one in my opinion. One major difference between the P3 Standard and it’s bigger brothers is the transmitter. The P3 Standard comes with a remote control that is basically the old remote...
