DJI’s Phantom 3 Professional has a built-in 4K camera that can capture smooth footage via its stabilized 3-axis gimbal system. Lightbridge streaming brings a direct 720p video feed to your iOS or Android device during flight, as well as full control from up to 3 miles away. DJI includes a rechargeable battery, remote control, 16GB microSD card and charger. The Phantom 3 Pro is my personal drone of choice. While it doesn’t have the obstacle avoidance of the more expensive Phantom 4 models, the discounted price combined with 4K capabilities is a solid combination.
