(5/5)
This drone features on our site a few times, firstly in this beach drone fishing video and again in a carp fishing competition from Lithuania where someone actually used the drone to fish directly rather than as a bait delivery tool.
Important Note!
Before flying this drone for the first time it’s important to complete a couple of easy to do steps to calibrate the compass and GPS so that the control computer will operate correctly. Otherwise your drone may go on a little drop of it’s own.
Phantom 3 Flight Software
The Phantom 3 quadcopter has a flight control system on board, it collects data from the entire system, including motor speed, GPS location, your command inputs, and data from automatic sensors, and analyzes it all to tell the Phantom 3 exactly how to behave at any given moment. It uses GPS navigation because of the complexity associated with multi-rotor aircraft the Phantom 3 relies on a GPS-based navigation system to maintain flight stability and provide other features, while fully manual operation is possible, most people should opt for one of the GPS-assisted modes

DJI Phantom Carry Case
MC-Cases have made one of the best looking cases for the DJI Phantom 3 Pro/Advanced, it’s also very strong and waterproof. As with all drones having a strong case to protect it while transporting it and for storage is essential.
This case may not be the most expensive case you can get for this drone but it’s the one we rate as best. It’s still not exactly cheap at £149.00 (from MC CASES) but you’re going to need a strong/protective case.
