Best Drone For Advanced Users
on November 24, 2016
Posted by: Myles
This doesn't have as good of avionics as the Phantom 4, Phantom 4 Pro or the recently announced Inspire 2. But Inspire 1 Pro is a great, stable drone. Twice the size of the average quad copter, when it flies it transforms like something out of the future. It shoot in 4K UHD, has a HDMI out in the RC and you can get a second remote and have one pilot and one camera opperator. I have three of these and paid twice as much because they're cutting edge when they came out. If you can't afford a Inspire 2 this drone is a must for any professional. You will also want to get the X5 or X5R gimbal / camera as it allows you to use common 4/3rd lenses.

Poor Drone Bad App Few Features
on October 22, 2016
Posted by: Myles
The flying is not very stable, GPS lock is pretty bad, floats a lot doesn't stay steady. The Gimbal isn't very good, lots of jitter. The upside of this drone is the Handheld Gimbal comes with it. I would recommend getting it with the Hero 5. As the Hero 4 Black does well but with its fisheye distortion is not as good as any of the DJI 4K cameras. The Karma app feels pretty rough and for a comparably priced drone from DJI or Yuneec you can get a ton more features.

Best Travel Drone In the Market
on October 22, 2016
Posted by: Myles
Having been able to use a model provided by DJI for testing I believe that this is by far the best drone for people who travel or play outdoor sports and need something they can toss into their backpack and go. The camera does a great job with 4K most people should probably shoot in 1080P at 120 fps if they want to get some really cool shots they can edit into slow shots. Compared to the Karma by GoPro, this is a far superior flying platform with tons more advanced features but the GoPro Hero 5 is a much superior camera.

on February 16, 2016
Posted by: Myles
Very impressed with out well this is put together. I'm ordering more as they are much better than the one that DJI ships with the the drones. As the owner of http://thedroneco.com I have tons of drones and have helped people starting their own drone businesses. I've tired everything in the market this is simply the best. It also fits the PolarPro filters when they are on the drones

Great All in One Drone
on November 30, 2015
Posted by: Myles
The DJI Phantom 3 Pro has great specs, features and functionality. This is by far the best drone in the industry for its price range. If you're starting out with drones I would suggest starting out with something a little cheaper, like the DJI Phantom 3 Standard. As there is a saying in the UAV / Drone world its not if you're going to crash, its a matter of when you will crash.
What's good about this drone:
1.# Price - Its hard to find a drone that can fly 1 mile +, with an UHD 4K camera, advanced features like POI and Follow me, and decent battery life right out of the box.
2.# Good Battery Life. - You can get about 20 minutes of flight time per battery. If you're new to UAV's that significantly better than previous models.
3.# UHD 4K Camera, for most people I would recommend that you shoot in 1080. It will take less processing power than 4K and not kill your computer. But if you need something in UHD this camera is great.. it doesn't have great levels of gradation on its grey scale but does a great job at get crisp, clear UHD video.
4.# The DJI Go app is the best in the industry. It runs on either iOS or Android and streams HD from your drone to you device. If you need a device for this, I recommend the iPad Mini 3.
The Bad:
1.) The support from DJI is great, once you get it. The problem is that they seem significantly understaffed or need help in how they process support request. If I could change one thing about DJI it would be the speed in which they respond to issues and process orders.
2.) Tilted Horizon - Even when calibrating on a flat surface the gimbal seems to be tilted.. this is reported in several forums. Its easy to adjust in the app but still a pain.
3.) Occasionally DJI puts out faulty firmware updates that can cause issues. Join a forum on Facebook and usually someone will give a thumbs up once they've tried it out.
4.) The waypoints system is flawed, you have to fly the path first to set waypoints, there are many 3 party apps that allow you to select them on the map first then just fly them.
Tech notes:
Before you fly take the following steps:
1.) Read ALL of the instructions. I've seen way to many newbs loose their P3P due to not reading the instructions or following them.
2.) Update the firmware on both the remote and UAV. There probably have been a handful of release sense they packaged your drone for shipping. #instructions are on DJI's website)
3.) Calibrate the compass.. #its in the instructions)
4.) Calibrate the IMU #its in the instructions)
5.) Go the FAA website and read the "Know Before you fly" It could keep you from going to jail. #two guys just went to jail for flying over the thanksgiving day parade in NYC, if they read that site and followed it they would have known better)
6.) Always remember that why this is fun to pay with, it is dangerous, the props are spinning at a very fast speed, can take an eye out our chunks of skin. Keep it away from pets and children.
Have fun!

You take the lead as your team approaches a clean new area, free of color and chaos. With a smirk, you take it all in — you'll soon change that. Two teammates begin spraying down walls, floors, ceilings and every other imaginable surface with ink, claiming this territory as your own with a vivid wash of your colors. You and another fighter scan the area for enemies. The opposition never sees you as you sneak up and douse them in an ink bath they'll never forget. This turf is all yours — it's time to move on and paint the whole world in your team's colors.Get messy with Splatoon, a fun-filled third-person action shooter that challenges you to cover levels, and enemies, with a brilliant spray of colorful ink. Take on the role of an Inkling, a squid-like fighter ready to cover yourself and everything around you with your team's hues. Cover the terrain around you in ink to claim it, and spray walls to gain access to hard-to-reach areas. Earn high-powered super weapons by soaking your turf in ink, so you can cover your enemies in color or spray more territory. Put on your thinking cap to dream up devastating strategies, but don't forget to keep an eye on your turf — too much attention on the other team may lead to a redecoration of your own territory. Easily refill your tank or hide from enemies with just a touch of a button, or transform into a squid and dive into ink for a blazing-fast speed boost. Attack your own way with a multitude of control options thanks to the Wii U GamePad controller, including gyroscopic controls that let you look around, aim and more with precision. Band together with three friends and get online to take on other teams in four-on-four matches that will have you perched on the edge of your seat. A color-soaked battle awaits — are you ready to claim your turf?

Best Complete Pro Drone In The Market
on May 29, 2015
Posted by: Myles
I have purchased several drones in my life the DJI Inspire 1 is the best in the market. Just showing up and showing your client the Inspire closes the deal. Don't settle for a pro-sumer drone go all in with this transforming drone. It shoots in full 4K video, is super stable in flight, great distance with remotes and allows a second pilot / camera operator. If your looking to shoot professionally and don't have $20K to drop on a Red Epic Camera and DJI S1000+ this is the drone for you.

Best Remote From DJI
on May 29, 2015
Posted by: Myles
This is the best DJI remote in the market. If you get the DJI Inspire 1 take advantage of the two pilot mode with another remote. Great price and fast shipping from Best Buy, faster than most dealers around and definitely faster than from DJI.

Why is this bundle available to purchase already but not the one with the hero5 or just the drone itself?

The Hero 5 will be released with it in a couple weeks. They are building out the bundled boxes and didn't want to over produce the boxes and have dead inventory. They would rather sell the Hero 5 standalone then risk not having enough for that market.
