Flight Controller

The Phantom 3 Professional’s flight controller features several important upgrades, including a new flight

mode. Safety modes include Failsafe and Return-to-Home. These features ensure the safe return of your

aircraft if the control signal is lost. The flight controller can also save critical flight data from each flight

to the on-board storage device. The new flight controller also provides increased stability and a new air

braking feature.

Flight Mode

Three flight modes are available. The details of each flight mode are found below:

P-mode (Positioning) : P-mode works best when GPS signal is strong. There are three different states

of P-mode, which will be automatically selected by the Phantom 3 Professional depending on signal

strength of GPS and Vision Positioning sensors :

P-GPS: GPS and Vision Positioning both are available. The aircraft is using GPS for positioning.

P-OPTI: Vision Positioning is available but the GPS signal strength is not sufficient. The aircraft is

using only the Vision Positioning System for positioning.

P-ATTI: Neither GPS nor Vision Positioning is available. The aircraft is using only its barometer for

positioning, so only altitude can be stabilized.

A-mode (Attitude): GPS and Vision Positioning System are not used for stabilization. The aircraft only uses

its barometer. The aircraft can still automatically return to the home point if the control signal is lost and

the Home Point was recorded successfully.

F-mode (Function): Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC) is activated in this mode. For more information

about IOC, refer to the IOC section in the Appendix.

Use the Flight Controller mode switch to change the flight mode of the aircraft, refer to the “Flight

Mode Switch” on Page 26 for more information.

Flight Status Indicator

The Phantom 3 Professional has Front LEDs and Aircraft Status Indicators. The positions of these LEDs

are shown in the figure below:

Aircraft Status Indicator

Front LED

The Front LEDs show the orientation of the aircraft. The Front LEDs glow solid red when the aircraft is

turned on to indicate the front (or nose) of the aircraft. The Aircraft Status Indicators communicate the

system status of the flight controller. Refer to the table below for more information about the Aircraft Status

Indicators:

Return-to-Home (RTH)

The Return-to-Home (RTH) function brings the aircraft back to the last recorded Home Point. There are

three types of RTH procedures: Smart RTH, Low Battery RTH, and Failsafe RTH. This section describes

these three scenarios in detail.

GPS Description

Home Point

If a strong GPS signal was acquired before takeoff, the Home Point

is the location from which the aircraft was launched. The GPS signal

strength is indicated by the GPS icon ( ). The aircraft status

indicator will blink rapidly when the home point is recorded.

Smart RTH

Use the RTH button on the remote controller (refer to “RTH button” on page 26 for more information)

or tap the RTH button in the DJI GO app and follow the on-screen instructions when GPS is available to

initiate Smart RTH. The aircraft will then automatically return to the last recorded Home Point. You may use

the remote controller’s control sticks to control the aircraft’s position to avoid a collision during the Smart

RTH process. Press and hold the Smart RTH button once to start the process, and press the Smart RTH

button again to terminate the procedure and regain full control of the aircraft.

Low Battery RTH

The low battery level failsafe is triggered when the DJI Intelligent Flight Battery is depleted to a point that

may affect the safe return of the aircraft. Users are advised to return home or land the aircraft immediately

when prompted. The DJI GO app will display a notice when a low battery warning is triggered. The

aircraft will automatically return to the Home Point if no action is taken after a ten-second countdown. The

user can cancel the RTH procedure by pressing the RTH button on the remote controller. The thresholds

for these warnings are automatically determined based on the aircraft’s current altitude and distance from

the Home Point.

The aircraft will land automatically if the current battery level can only support the aircraft long enough

to descend from its current altitude. The user can still use the remote controller to alter the aircraft’s

orientation during the landing process.

Vision Positioning System

The DJI Vision Positioning System uses ultrasound and image data to help the aircraft maintain its current

position. With the help of Vision Positioning, your Phantom 3 Professional can hover in place more precisely

and fly indoors or in other environments where a GPS signal is not available. The main components of the

Vision Positioning System are located on the bottom of your Phantom 3 Professional; they include [2] two

ultrasonic sensors and [1] one monocular camera.

[1]

[2]

Using Vision Positioning

Vision Positioning is activated automatically when the Phantom 3 Professional is turned on. No

further action is required. Vision Positioning is typically used in indoor environments, where GPS

is unavailable. Using the sensors that are built into the Vision Positioning system, the Phantom 3

Professional can hover precisely even without GPS.

© 2015 DJI. All Rights Reserved. 15
Aircraft

Phantom 3 Professional User Manual

Follow the steps below to use Vision Positioning:

1. Toggle the flight mode switch to P-mode.

2. Place the aircraft on a flat surface. Note that the Vision Positioning system cannot

work properly on surfaces without clear pattern variations.

3. Turn on the aircraft. The aircraft status indicator will flash green two times, which

indicates the Vision Positioning system is ready. Gently push the throttle up to lift off

and the aircraft will hover in place.

The performance of your Vision Positioning System is affected by the surface over which it is

flying. The ultrasonic sensors may not be able to accurately measure distances when operating

above sound-absorbing materials. In addition, the camera may not function correctly in

suboptimal environments. The aircraft will switch from P-mode to A-mode automatically if neither

GPS nor Vision Positioning System are available. Operate the aircraft with great caution in the

following situations:

Flying over monochrome surfaces (e.g. pure black, pure white, pure red, pure green).

Flying over a highly reflective surfaces.

Flying at high speeds(over 8 m/s at 2 meters or over 4 m/s at 1 meter).

Flying over water or transparent surfaces.

Flying over moving surfaces or objects.

Flying in an area where the lighting changes frequently or drastically.

Flying over extremely dark (lux < 10) or bright (lux > 100,000) surfaces.

Flying over surfaces that can absorb sound waves (e.g. thick carpet).

Flying over surfaces without clear patterns or texture.

Flying over surfaces with identical repeating patterns or textures (e.g. tiles with the same design).

Flying over inclined surfaces that will deflect sound waves away from the aircraft.

Keep the sensors clean at all times. Dirt or other debris may adversely affect the effectiveness

of the sensors.

Vision Positioning is only effective when the aircraft is at altitudes of 0.3 to 3 meters.

The Vision Positioning System may not function properly when the aircraft is flying over water.

The Vision Positioning System may not be able to recognize pattern on the ground in low light

conditions (less than 100 lux).

Do not use other ultrasonic devices with frequency of 40 KHz when Vision Positioning system is

in operation.

Vision Positioning System may not be able to stabilize the aircraft when flying close to the

ground (below 0.5 meters) at fast speeds..

Keep the animals away from the aircraft when Vision Positioning system is activated. The sonar

sensor emits high frequency sounds that are only audible to some animals.

Flight Recorder

Flight data is automatically recorded to the internal storage of the aircraft. This includes flight

telemetry, aircraft status information, and other parameters. To access these data, connect the

aircraft to the PC through the Micro-USB port and launch the DJI GO app.

Flight

Once pre-flight preparation is complete, it is recommended that you use the flight simulator in the DJI GO

app to hone your flight skills and practice flying safely. Ensure that all flights are carried out in an open

area.

Flight Environment Requirements

1. Do not use the aircraft in severe weather conditions. These include wind speeds exceeding 10 m/s ,

snow, rain and fog.

2. Only fly in open areas. Tall structures and large metal structures may affect the accuracy of the onboard compass and GPS system.

3. Avoid obstacles, crowds, high voltage power lines, trees, and bodies of water.

4. Minimize interference by avoiding areas with high levels of electromagnetism, including base stations

and radio transmission towers.

5. Aircraft and battery performance is subject to environmental factors such as air density and

temperature.Be very careful when flying at altitudes greater than 19, 685 feet (6000 meters) above sea

level, as the performance of the battery and aircraft may be affected.

6. The Phantom 3 Professional cannot operate within the polar areas.

Flight Limits and No-Fly Zones

All unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operators should abide by all regulations set forth by government and

regulatory agencies including the ICAO and the FAA. For safety reasons, flights are limited by default,

which helps users operate this product safely and legally. Flight limitations include height limits, distance

limits, and No-Fly Zones.

When operating in P-mode, height limits, distance limits, and No-Fly Zones function concurrently to

manage flight safety. In A-mode, only height limits are in effect, which by default prevent the aircraft

altitude from exceeding 1640 feet (500 m) .

Maximum flight altitude & Radius Limits

Maximum flight altitude and radius limits may be changed in the DJI GO app. Be aware that the maximum

flight altitude cannot exceed 1640 feet (500 meters). In accordance with these settings, your Phantom 3

Professional will fly in a restricted cylinder, as shown below:

No-Fly Zones

All No-Fly Zones are listed on the DJI official website at http://flysafe.dji.com/no-fly. No-Fly Zones are

divided into Airports and Restricted Areas. Airports include major airports and flying fields where manned

aircraft operate at low altitudes. Restricted Areas include border lines between countries or sensitive

institute. The details of the No-Fly Zones are explained as follow:

Airport

(1) Airport No-Fly Zone are comprised of Take-off Restricted zones and Restricted Altitude Zones. Each

zone features circles of various sizes.

(2) R1 miles (value of the R1 depends on the size and shape of the airport) around the airport is a Takeoff restricted zone, inside of which take off is prevented.

(3) From R1 mile to R1 + 1 mile around the airport the flight altitude is limited to a 15 degree inclination.

Starting at 65 feet (20 meters) from the edge of airport and radiating outward. The flight altitude is

limited to 1640 feet (500 meters) at R1+1 mile

(4) When the aircraft enters within 320 feet (100 meters) of No-Fly Zones, a warning message will appear

on the DJI GO app.

FAQ

Troubleshooting (FAQ)

What is the difference between the Phantom 3 Professional and the Phantom 3 Advanced?

The biggest difference between the Phantom 3 Professional and the Phantom 3 Advanced is in the

camera. The Phantom 3 Professional is capable of shooting spectacular 4K video at up to 30 frames per

second, and the Phantom 3 Advanced is capable of shooting at resolutions up to 1080p60. Both models

shoot 12 megapixel photos.

The other main difference is the Intelligent Flight Battery charger. The Phantom 3 Advanced comes with a

57-watt charging unit and the Phantom 3 Professional comes with a 100-watt charger, the latter of which

allows for shorter charging times.

Can I remove the camera and attach my own?

No. The cameras that come with both models are permanently attached. Attempting to remove, replace, or

modify the camera may damage the product and will void your warranty.

Can I charge my Remote Controller and Intelligent Flight Battery at the same time?

While the Remote Controller charger and Intelligent Flight Battery charger have been integrated into one

unit for your convenience, it is recommended that you only charge one item at a time. We recommend that

you never charge both items using the same charger at the same time.

What are the buttons on the back of my Remote Controller for?

The two buttons on the back of the Remote Controller can be customized and assigned to function as you

choose through the DJI GO app. Refer to the manual for more information.

How far can I fly my Phantom 3?

The signal transmission distance will vary depending on environmental conditions, but the Phantom 3

series can reach distances of up to 1.2 miles (2 kilometers) away from the pilot.

What app should I use with my Phantom 3?

The Phantom 3 is compatible with the DJI GO app for iOS and Android, which is already used with the DJI

Inspire. The app will detect which aircraft is connected and automatically adjust accordingly.

Which mobile devices are compatible with the app?

The DJI GO app is only compatible with devices running iOS 8.0 or later or Android v4.1.2 or later.

The following devices are recommended:

iOS: iPhone 5s, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPad Air, iPad Air Wi-Fi + Cellular, iPad mini 2, iPad mini 2 Wi-Fi

+ Cellular, iPad Air 2, iPad Air 2 Wi-Fi + Cellular, iPad mini 3, and iPad mini 3 Wi-Fi + Cellular. This app is

optimized for iPhone 5s, iPhone 6, and iPhone 6 Plus

Android: Samsung S5, Note 3, Sony Z3 EXPERIA, Google Nexus 7 II, Google Nexus 9, Mi 3, Nubia Z7 mini

Support for additional Android devices will become available as testing and development continues.

FAQ

Phantom 3 Professional User Manual

How do I use the Director automatic video editor?

Director is an automatic video editor built into the DJI GO app. After recording several video clips, simply

tap “Director” from the app’s home screen. You can then select a template and a specified number of

clips, which are automatically combined to create a short film that can be shared immediately.

How do I change the control mode of my Phantom 3?

By default, the Remote Controller is set to Mode 2. This means that the right control stick controls the

movement of the aircraft and the left control stick controls the throttle and orientation of the aircraft. These

controls can be changed to Mode 1 or set to a customized configuration in the DJI GO app. This is only

recommended for advanced users.

Can I use a Phantom 2 Remote Controller with the Phantom 3?

No. The Phantom 2 Remote Controller operates on a different frequency. The Phantom 2 Remote Controller

operates at 5.8 GHz and the new Phantom 3 Remote Controller operates at 2.4 GHz.

Can I use a Phantom 2 Intelligent Flight Battery with the Phantom 3?

No. The Phantom 3 uses a newly designed Intelligent Flight Battery with greater power. The Phantom 3 has

a 4 cell battery with a capacity of 4480 mAh and a voltage of 15.2 V.

My Phantom 3 does not turn off right away, is something wrong?

This is normal. After you attempt to power off the Intelligent Flight Battery, it may remain on for a few

seconds as any video data is saved to the Micro SD card. This helps prevent your data from being lost or

corrupted.

Do I have to buy the Remote Controller separately?

No, there is no need to buy a separate Remote Controller. Your Phantom 3 comes with a Remote Controller

that is already linked to the aircraft.

Does my Phantom 3 support dual Remote Controllers?

No. The included Remote Controller can be used to control both the aircraft and the gimbal tilt at the same

time.

What does the “P, A, F” switch on the Remote Controller do?

This switch, called the Flight Mode Switch, allows you to toggle different flight modes:

P-mode, or Positioning mode, indicates that both GPS and the Vision Positioning System are active and

your Phantom 3 will attempt to stabilize using both.

In A-mode, or Attitude mode, the aircraft does not use GPS or the Vision Positioning System. Only the

barometer is used for stabilization. The aircraft can still return to the Home Point as long as a sufficient GPS

signal is available.

F-mode, or Function mode, activates Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC) functionality. Refer to the IOC

section in the Appendix of the User Manual.

By default, only P-mode may be used. Refer to your user manual for instructions on unlocking the other

modes.

FAQ

Phantom 3 Professional User Manual

What is the Phantom 3 flight time?

Flight times will vary depending on environmental conditions and usage patterns, but the Intelligent Flight

Battery is designed to provide up to 23 minutes of uninterrupted flight time when fully charged.

How can I restore a video file if the power is turned off during recording?

Do not remove the Micro-SD card from the camera. If it has been removed, place it back in the camera.

Turn the Phantom 3 on and wait approximately 30 seconds as the video file is restored.

How can I ensure that my pictures and videos will be synchronized to my iOS album?

You may need to adjust the settings of your mobile device. Open the Settings menu, select the Privacy tab,

select the Photos tab, and then toggle the switch next to the DJI GO app icon. If the GO app has not been

granted access to your albums, the photos and videos cannot be synchronized.

What should I do to land my Phantom 3 smoothly as possible?

Hover the aircraft over a flat, level surface. Slowly pull the throttle stick down until the aircraft touches the

ground.

Why is the discharge time of the battery not zero, even though I have never used it?

Every battery is tested prior to being packaged and shipped. This affects the discharge time of a new

battery and is the reason that the discharge time is not zero. The battery is safe to use.

Can the mobile device holder be used on the Phantom 2 series Remote Controller?

No, it cannot.

How to safely operate the aircraft when encountering compass error?

A compass error may occur when the aircraft is flying close to strong electric magnetic sources (e.g.

power transmission lines). Aircraft Status Indicators blink red and yellow rapidly when a compass error

occurs and the DJI GO app will display one of the following messages:

• Compass error, calibration required

This warning message indicates the aircraft is receiving abnormal compass readings. It is recommended

to power off the aircraft and re-calibrate the compass at a different location and then resume the flight.

• Compass error, exit P-GPS Mode

This warning message indicates that the aircraft is drifting severely. Bring the aircraft to a higher altitude

to gain enough GPS satellite locks when this warning message is prompted. The flight controller will

automatically adjust the orientation of the aircraft in the midair to mitigate the drifts. The aircraft will switch

back to P-GPS mode when the automatic adjustment is completed.

How to troubleshoot aircraft initialization error?

If you observe the following symptoms, it indicates the aircraft has failed to initialized:

• The aircraft status indicator display flashing red, yellow and green. Even the aircraft is stationed on the

flat surface.

• The System Status Bar in the app prompts “Initialization Error”.

• No resistance drive if felt on the gimbal.

FAQ

Phantom 3 Professional User Manual

Various factors contribute to the aircraft initialization error, try resolve the issue by following the suggestions

listed below:

• Sensor performance degraded. This may be due to the excessive bias detected from the IMU or the

compass reading is interfered. Try restarting and calibrating the IMU and compass to resolve this issue.

• Sensor is defective. If the sensors remains unchanged at all time and the problem persist even when the

aircraft is restarted, it indicates the sensor is not working normally. Users should return the aircraft to DJI

for repairing.

• Minor vibration is detected during aircraft initialization. Put the aircraft on the flat surface, power on the

aircraft and ensure the aircraft is stationed for more than 5 seconds to resolve the issue.

• Serious vibration is detected during aircraft initialization. This instance generally occurs when the aircraft

is being initialization on the violent moving surface, for instance, ships that are on the rough sea. Do not

attempt to power on the aircraft in this scenario.
