The NAB Show 2015 coverage introduces the DJI Phantom 3 line, highlighting a major step forward from the Phantom 2 with two distinct variants: Professional and Advanced. The presenter notes DJI’s decision to equip the Phantom 3 with its own 4K camera for the Professional version, featuring a 20 mm prime lens and a rectilinear design to eliminate fisheye distortion in video mode. Key camera specs are outlined, including an ISO range of 100 to 3200 for stills and 100 to 1600 for still photography, plus capabilities like single shot, burst modes, Auto Exposure Bracketing, and time lapse. The video explains the new Vision Positioning technology that enables more stable indoor flight and safer landings if the controller loses power, as well as a 3-axis gimbal ensuring stable footage with the included camera. Both Phantom 3 variants use DJI’s dedicated pilot mobile app and a new controller design inspired by the Inspire 1, allowing control from up to 2 kilometers away using a phone or tablet. The segment concludes with a practical look at flight performance, noting nimbleness and quick landing abilities, and discusses the 1080p option for users not ready to dive into 4K post-production, while ending with price points and a brief note on future GoPro compatibility considerations.
