In this episode, the Roswell Flight Test Crew visits the DJI booth at the 2015 National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) conference in Las Vegas, Nevada, to check out the Phantom 3. The new quadcopter is available in two models. The Professional version features a 4K video camera, while the Advanced version utilizes a conventional high-definition (HD) video camera. Both feature an integrated Lightbridge video transmission system to send back live feed from the aircraft to the pilot’s Android or iOS device, as well as a new optical flow system for precision position hold even in environments where GPS lock is unavailable, such as indoors. Both aircraft are powered by a new four-cell Lithium-Polymer battery capable of delivering 23 minutes of flight time.

Day 1 of NAB just finished and we wanted to address some of the differences between the Inspire 1 and the Phantom 3. This is a video message from DJI to all our current and potential aerial cinematography partners about how the P3 and I1 can fit into your aerial toolkit. Please comment below and DJI aerial cinematography specialists and the social media team will try their best to answer customers and create a positive discussion. Looking forward to day 2 of NAB!
