I finally had the chance this morning to take out the new Phantom 3 Standard. Very, very cool. Much better than my Hubsan 501 S. The Hubsan is lighter and always drifted. The Phantom was very stable and hovered. I felt safer and more in control. I did notice error messages on the screen as far as transmission of the video signal. As long as I start the video, the camera and the memory card will record, regardless of a signal to my iPhone, correct? Also, I was in "Beginner Mode" today. What do I need to know about flying once I change that setting? Thanks for any comments and suggestions!

Beginner Mode limits your range and altitude. Once you turn it off, you are free to roam.

Once started, the camera records direct to the SD card and isn't affected by interference that may affect the live view.

Start simple like doing a range check. Make sure you have your failsafe set to RTH and that your Go App says "The Homepoint has been updated, please check it on the map." Then turn on "enable intelligent flight modes". And try point of interest, very cool.

Also, make sure to leave the switch 1, on the right top of your controller, in the full forward position. That switch will take it in and out of GPS mode. At this point in your training, you do not want to fly without GPS!
