I was beyond impressed with my first flight of the new DJI Phantom 3 Professional. It’s the best drone on the market today hands-down! I did discover a few things during my first Phantom 3 Pro flight though:

  • The third-party app that I was using to record the iPhone’s display during this flight demo was interfering with FPV.  During my second flight test without the iOS screen recorder app running, the FPV video looked pristine!
  • The gimbal wheel speed by default is too fast for video.  I changed the gimbal wheel video speed to be more optimal for filming video.
  • The Phantom 3’s camera was not aligned perfectly with the horizon.  I resolved that issue by running the DJI Phantom 3 gimbal auto-calibrate within the DJI Pilot App.

I’m slowly touching the surface of the new DJI Phantom 3. I’ll continue to share my Phantom 3 flight videos and Phantom 3 lessons learned with everyone, so please follow me on social media and share with others. Thanks for your support!
