In this video, I test something that I have been wanting an answer to for a long time...and that you may have had too: how well does the DJI Phantom 3 Standard fare with wind when flying?

Carson I wanted to see what you thoughts were on something that happen to me. I was flying my phantom 3 standard with 8 satellites at about 5 feet. The wind was about 8 miles in hour no big deal. A gust of wing came up and just took my drone with it, I had No control at all. It crashed on my asphalt driveway. Minimal damage but why would this happen? I thought it was supposed to be steady in these situationsI haven't had any problems in the past?

My Phantom 3 makes the same squeaking noise. (Chirping?). I don't fly when winds are over 10mph or if there are gusts. Also note that if you hit RTH, that doesn't mean you can't adjust the trajectory. You can make adjustments if you are getting pushed around. Also note that the wind at altitude is stronger than tree top level.

Hi Carson, great video!! :-) I'm currently thinking of buying this, but I have some concerns... I've read lots of complaints about signal loss (both RC and video). Has it been fixed yet? I plan to fly it 300-400meters tops (cause I'm a beginner). Could I do that without loosing the signal? :-) (Ooops, I've just found your other video about the range test... it's pretty reassuring, I feel better now about buying this drone!!!)

Honestly I would wait until the end of this month just to see if DJI releases a new Phantom series upgrade as they did last year around this time for the Phantom 4. If they do release a new drone, then the DJI Phantom 4 is likely to go down in price:)...the Phantom 3 Pro may go down in price also and if it does, I would definitely suggest that over the Phantom 3 Standard as it does have higher specs.
