Was thinking about buying one just for fun.
My guess is i will just use it for a couple of days and then it will stay on the shelf for some time.
Are you using it frequently ?
The Advanced and Professional models of the Phantom 3 have a far, far greater distance and height range due to DJI Lightbridge technology which is not present on the Standard modelI bought a Phantom 3 Standard last October, was pleased with it but found that the range wasn't too good. I got around 1.5km on Ainsdale beach. We took it with us to the USA in December when we drove all the way up Route 66 and then onto Niagra Falls for new year.
I was well dissapointed with the range but got some great footage non-the-less.
I did buy a 15db flat panel antenna which gives great results but way too bulky for traveling.
Any way I bought a Mavic Pro last month and straight out of the box I got much much further from our garden than the 300m I could get with the Phantom 3.

I did know that at the time but I didn't want to pay the price for those at the time.
The first thing I did was ditch "learner mode"
The guy who made the flat panel antenna I bought has video's of him using it with a Phantom 3 Standard and getting 10 miles on a one way trip with a battery mod on the craft.
But the Mavic Pro has a greater range than all the Phantoms even the Phantom 4 pro.

@quickshot I have the Advance model, get some great footage with it
@mick they are really hard to crash tbh, I flew mine straight out the box first time ever, the GPS holds it steady as a rock and the "fly home" button gives you confidence to go a bit further knowing it will fly back if it looses signal
here's a couple of good vids

great vids bronto, quick price check on amazon and was expecting double the price.
interesting comment below the second vid, guy from the uk is saying he is limited to a distance of 500m.
right Captin probably learner mode then, makes sense at the prices.
i was thinking it would have been some sort of inbuilt software restriction possibly to do with air space, wouldn't have surprised me in the uk.
