Phantom 3 Professional User Manual 

Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC) 

IOC allows users to lock the control orientation of the aircraft in different modes. There are three working 

modes for IOC that can be selected in the DJI Pilot app. IOC only works when the aircraft is in F-mode, 

therefore the user must toggle the flight mode switch to activate IOC. Refer to the table below: 

Course Lock (CL) 

Home Lock (HL)* 

Point of Interest (POl)* 

The nose direction, at the time that CL is set, will remain the forward direction 

regardless of how the orientation and position of the aircraft changes. This will 

remain fixed until you reset it or exit CL mode. 

Record a Home Point (HP) and enter HL mode. The forward and backward 

controls will move the aircraft farther from and closer to the established Home 

Pont, regardless of how the orientation and position of the aircraft changes. 

Point of Interest. Record a point of interest (POl). The aircraft can then circle 

around the POl and the nose will always points toward the POl. 

X;}; *Home Lock and Point of Interest feature are coming soon.

6_ Intelligent Flight 

Intelligent Flight mode includes Course Lock, Home Lock, Point of Interest (POl), Follow Me and 

Waypoints features to assist users to create professional shoots during the flight. Course Lock and Home 

Point lock helps to lock the orientation of aircraft so that the user can focus more on other operations. 

Point of Interest, Follow Me and Waypoints mode enable aircraft to fly automatically according to the preset flight maneuvers. 

Course Lock 

Home Lock 

Point of Interest 

Waypoints 

Lock the current nose direction as the aircraft's forward direction. The aircraft 

will move in the locked directions regardless of its orientation (yaw angle). 

Pull the pitch stick backward to move the aircraft toward its recorderd Home 

Point. 

The aircraft will orbit around the subject automatically to allow the operator 

can be more focus on framing their shoot on the subject in Point of Interest. 

Record a flight path, then the aircraft will fly along the same path repeatedly 

while you control the camera and orientation. The flight path can be saved 

and re-apply in the future. 

Enable Multiple Flight Mode by launching the DJI GO app > Camera View > ~ > Advanced Settings > 

Mulitple Flight Mode before using the Intelligent Flight Mode for the first time.

How to Update Firmware 

Follow the process described below to upgrade the aircraft, remote controller and battery. 

Updating the Aircraft Firmware 

Step 1- Check Battery and SO Card Capacity 

Ensure the Intelligent Flight Battery has at least 50% power and there is at least 100 MB of free space on 

the SO card. 

Step 2- Prepare the Firmware Update Package 

1. Download the firmware update package from the official DJI website (http://www.dji.com/product/ 

phantom-3/download). 

2. Insert the SO card into your PC. Extract the all downloaded files into the root directory of the SO card. 

Remove the SO card from your PC. Ensure the aircraft is powered off then insert the SO card into the 

SO card slot on the camera. 

Step 3- Update the Aircraft 

1. Ensure the remote controller is powered off and then power on the aircraft. Upgrade will begin 

automatically after aircraft is powered on. 

2. It will take approximately 25 minutes to complete the firmware update. The camera status indicator 

will blink green and red to i~dicate the upgrade is in progress and stop blinking when the update is 

complete with success. 

3. Check the upgrade status by opening the ".txt" file that is automatically generated after the update. 

The update is successful if the text "result: successful" is in the document. Try upgrading the firmware 

again if the text "result: failed" is found or the camera status indicator shows solid red. 

Updating the Remote Controller Firmware 

Ensure the DJI GO app has been updated to v1.2.0 before updating the remote controller. The 

System Status bar in Camera View of the DJI GO App will flash several times if a firmware update is 

available. Follow these steps to update the firmware via the OJI GO App. 

Step 1- Check Battery and SO Card Capacity 

1. The remote controller has at least 50% battery level. 

2. Your mobile device is able to access the internet. 

3. There is at least 30 MB of free space on your mobile device. 

Step 2- Download and Update the Firmware 

1. Go to the DJI GO App > Camera View > System Status bar > Overall Status. Tap Download the 

firmware update package to download and update the firmware. Track the update progress from 

progress bar in the OJ! GO App. The status LED on the remote controller will blink blue during update 

and blink green when update is complete with success. 

Firmware update through the DJI GO app will not work with older versions of the remote controller 

firmware. If the firmware update fails, follow the instructions below to update the firmware using the 

traditional method: 

a. Update the latest firmware package files from OJI official web site.

b. Extract all downloaded files into the root directory of an SD card or USB flash drive. 

c. Turn off the remote controller, Insert the SD card into a SD card reader or the USB disk onto the 

remote controller USB port when remote controller is turned off. 

d. Power on the remote controller and wait 60 seconds until the upgrade begins. Do not power off 

the remote controller during the update. 

e. It will take approximately 10 minutes to complete the firmware update. The camera will sound 

a beeping sound and the Status LED on the remote controller shows solid blue to indicate the 

update is in progress. The Status LED on remote controller shows solid green and beeping 

sound will stop if the upgrade is completed with success. 

f . If you do not have a SD card reader, you may insert the SD card into the gimbal and connect the 

gimbal with remote controller to upgrade the remote controller. 

& You will only be able to update the remote controller firmware through the DJI GO app from 

this point onwards. 

Updating Intelligent Flight Battery Firmware 

The Intelligent Flight Battery is upgraded during the aircraft firmware upgrade process. It is recommended 

to keep the upgrade package files in your SD card. The upgrade will start automatically after power 

cycling the aircraft. 

& • Ensure there is only one firmware package file stored on your SD card. 

• Only storage devices that are formatted for FAT32 and exFAT file systems are supported for 

aircraft and remote controller firmware updates. 

• Ensure the internet connection of your mobile device is stable when downloading the firmware 

update package. 

• Turn on Airplane Mode on your mobile device before updating the firmware, as any incoming 

calls may disrupt the update process. 

• Do not perform firmware update while the aircraft is still flying in the air. Only carry out firmware 

update when the aircraft is landed. 

• Be sure to update the remote controller's firmware to the latest version after you upgrade the 

aircraft's firmware. 

• The remote controller may become unlinked from the aircraft after updating. Re-link the remote 

controller and aircraft. 

• Confirm the update results based on the blinking pattern of camera status indicator or gimbal 

sound. It is normal for the aircraft to sound or the LED to blink during the update process.
