It may have been 3DR’s “Smart Shots” which captured my imagination and gave me the courage to try the 3DR Solo [B&H|Amazon] and DJI Phantom 3 Professional [B&H|Amazon] , but it was the DJI’s superior flight performance and my sense that they’d catch up to Smart Shots faster than 3DR would catch up to the Phantom’s performance which led me to purchase the Phantom. With Intelligent Flight Mode now available on the Phantom 3 Professional and Inspire 1, DJI indeed delivers first.

In a case of "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery," we try out DJI's answer to 3DR's Smart Shots - their new Intelligent Flight Mode -- on a Phantom 3 Professional. Pretty great!
