# Product Proile Introduction The Phantom 3 Professional represents the next generation of DJI quadcopters. It is capable of capturing 4K video and transmitting an HD video signal out of the box. The built-in camera has an integrated gimbal to maximize stability while minimizing both weight and size. Even when no GPS signal is available, the Vision Positioning System allows the aircraft to hover accurately in place. 

## Feature Highlights Camera and Gimbal: With the Phantom 3 Professional, you’re shooting 4K video at up to 30 frames per second and capturing 12 megapixel photos that look crisper and cleaner than ever. An enhanced sensor gives you greater clarity, lower noise, and better pictures than any previous lying camera. HD Video Downlink: The low-latency long range HD downlink is powered by an enhanced version of DJI Lightbridge. DJI Intelligent Flight Battery: The 4480 mAh DJI Intelligent Flight Battery features upgraded battery cells and an advanced power management system. Flight Controller: The next-generation light controller has been updated to provide a safer, more reliable light experience. A newly implemented light recorder stores critical data from each light and the Vi sion Positioning System enhances hovering precision when lying indoors or in environments where GPS is unavailable.
