Description — DJI Phantom 1
The DJI Phantom 1 is a multirotor drone built on a plastic composite frame that measures 350mm x 350mm x 190mm and weighs 650g. Power comes from a 3S LiPo battery rated at 11.1V and 2200mAh, delivering approximately 15 minutes of flight time per charge — a workable window for casual aerial sessions. The airframe's lightweight plastic composite construction helps keep the overall platform nimble and straightforward to handle.
It should be noted that the Phantom 1 carries no weather sealing, so it is best suited to calm, dry flying conditions. There is no image stabilization onboard — neither in-body nor digital — and wireless connectivity options such as WiFi and Bluetooth are absent. For buyers looking for an accessible, no-frills drone platform, the Phantom 1's combination of manageable size, modest weight, and straightforward battery system offers a clear starting point.
