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. 

~ligli'lt Mode 

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

P-mode (Positioning) : ~-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-ATII: 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 Systern 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 Horne 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. 

;1J: Use the Flight Controller mode switch to change the flight mode of the aircraft, refer to the "Flight 

Mode Switch" on Page 26 tor more information.

Return,.te-Heme (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 

Home Point ~.ull 

SmartiRTH 

Description 

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 ( ~.ull ). The aircraft status 

indicator will blink rapidly when the home point is recorded. 

Use the RTH button on the remote controller (refer to "RTH butlon" on page 26 for more information) or 

tap the RTH button in the DJI Pilot 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 eattery RTH 

The low battery level failsafe is triggered when the OJ I 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 Pilot app will display a notice when a low battery warning is triggered. The 

aircraft will automatically return to the Horne 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 Horne 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. 

The Battery Level Indicator is displayed in the OJI Pilot app, and is described below:

Vision P.msiti0nil1 - 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.

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

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

area. 

Fli ht 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 . 

• Fii,ght Limits ami Ne-Riy, Zor~es 

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 Pilot 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 hllp:l/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

FAQ 

48 ©201~ DJI 1\11 l'lghiS P.CSCIVC(] 
Troubleshooting (FAQ) 

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

The biggest difference between the Phantom :1 ProfP.~~ional 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 tor 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. 0 

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 Pilot app. Refer to the manual tor more information. 

How far can I fly my Phantom 3?

How do I use the Director automatic video editor? 

Director is an automatic video editor built into the DJI Pilot 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 Pilot 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.

Phantom 3 Professional User Manual 

What Is the Phantom 3 flight time? 

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

Battery 1s des1gned 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-SO 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 lOS 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 Pilot app icon. If the Pilot 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 OJI Pilot app will display one of the following messages: 

o 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. 

o 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.

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 OJI 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. 

'(): *Home Lock and Point of Interest feature are coming soon. 

IOC Requirements 

IOC is only available under the following conditions:
