Drones are really starting to take off (if you'll excuse the pun) with them turning up everywhere from conceptual futuristic home delivery services to TV news. So whether it's using them for fun, or for profesionally capture - and they've been used to record footage in wildlife documentaries, adverts and major Hollywood movies - one of the better known companies fuelling the excitement is DJI.

Its latest drone, the DJI Phantom 3 Professional, is its most refined drone yet; a high-flier if you will. It offers 4K recording alongside a host of other features such as easy flying modes and even the ability to livestream to YouTube at the press of a few buttons. The Phantom 3 Advanced, which isn't the subject of this review, is the same body but with 1080p capture instead of 4K.

The drone consists of a main body with four propellers, landing legs to give it stability on the ground, and a camera fitted to a moveable 3-axis gimbal which is mounted beneath. No separate camera purchase required here.

Also in the Pantom 3's box is a large dedicated remote control that gives you all the functions you need to fly it, including the ability to hold, and even charge, a smartphone or tablet to act as a viewing screen.

Well made, the DJI Phantom 3 certainly looks the part and we like the fact you can quickly and easily remove the propellers to allow for tight packing in a rucksack - DJI even includes the option to buy one.

The battery, which is intelligent enough to tell you when it's running out, is easily accessible and swappable. Which is a good job, as with an estimated 23-minutes of life per charge you'll need to be ready to swap those batteries often. Spares can be purchased, including the Pro Professional two battery boxed option (yep, DJI is doubling-down on the use of pro) which costs a little more but is an obvious choice.

We found that battery performance does depend on what you are doing. Just fly and you'll get the most time out of it, capture 4K footage and you'll notice a dip, but we didn't feel at any point that we were ever in a worrying situation.

The only fiddly component to the whole Phantom 3 experience is changing the microSD card because the thing is so darn small, but it's no harder than doing it on any action cam.

Although the Phantom 3 is tricky to crash - yet we still managed it - we can happily report the unit is strong enough to take a bit of a beating on ground collision. Parts are replaceable if needed, so a damaged propeller doesn't necessarily mean it's the end of the world.

The Phantom 3 is an easy to use, fully integrated package with an intelligent system that helps you fly. Even when flying up to 1.2 miles (2km)* away, built-in Lightbridge technology gives you complete control over your Phantom 3 and an immersive, live HD view of everything below. Now you can shoot fully-stabilized HD video from the sky, right out of the box! With a crystal-clear camera, real-time HD video display, and intuitive flight controls.Brand New in its Original Retail Box.
