# Product Profile This section introduces the Phantom 3 Professional and lists the components of the aircraft and remote controller.

# Product Profile Introduct i on 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 G i mbal : With the Phantom 3 Professional, you're shooting 4K video at up to 30 frames per second and capturing 12 megapixet photos that 

### look crisper and cleaner than ever. All enhanced sensor gives 

### you greater clarity, lower noise, and better pictures than any previous flying camera. HD Video Down li nk: The low-latency long range HD downlink is powered by an enhanced version of DJI Ughtbridge. D

J I Intelligen t Fli gh t Battery: The 4480 mAh DJI Intelligent F l ight Battery features upgraded battery cells and an advanced power management system . Flight Controller: The next-generation flight cootroller 

### has been updated to provide a safer , rror e reliable flight experience. A newly implemented flight recorder stores critical data from each flight and the Vision Positioning System enhances hovering precision when flying indoors or in environments where GPS is unavailable . 

### Pre paring th e Aircraft Removing Gimbal Clamp Remove the gimbal clamp by sliding it to the right (when facing the nose of the aircraft), as shown below.

# Aircraft This section introduces the features of the Flight Controller, Vision Positioning System . and the Intelligent Right Battery

10 ;>n OJI A !;; >1 ,..-.

# Aircraft Flight Controller The Phant001 3 Professional's flight contrOller features several important upgrades. including a new flight mode. Safety modes ilclude Failsafe 

### and Return-to-Home. These features ensure the 

### safe retum of your aircraft if the control signal is lost. The flight controller can also save critical flight data fr001 each !fight 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 IT'Dde 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

-OPT I : Vision Posi tioning is available but the GPS signal strength is not sufficient. The aircraft is using only t he Vis ion Positioning System for position i ng . P-AIT I : 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 retum to the home 

### point if the contrOl signal is lost and the Home Point was recorded successfully. F-nnode (Function) : Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC) is activated in this mode. F or more information about IOC, refer to the IOC section in the Appendix . 

## ;<J: 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 LEOs and Airc r aft Status Indicators . The positions of these LEOs are shown in the figure below :

The 

### Front LEOs show the orientation of the aircraft . The Front LEOs glow sol id red when the ai rcraft is tumed on to indicate the 

### front (or nose) of the aircraft The Aircraft Status Indicators communicate the system status of the fligllt controller. Refer to the table below for more information about the Aircraft Status Indicators: 11P hantom 3 P rof essio n al User Manual

### Smart RTH Description If a strong GPS sign al was acquired be f ore t akeoff. the Home Poi nt is t

he locatiOn from which the aircraft 

### was launched. The GPS signal strength is indicated by the GPS icon (

**~. 11**  ). The aircraft status ooicator will blink rapidly when the home point is recorded . Use the RTH button on the remote controller (refer to " RTH b utton " on page 26 lor mo r e information) or tap the RTH button in the DJ I GO app and follow t he on-screen i nstructions when GPS is avai lable 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 tenninate the procedure and regain full control of the aircraft .

### Vision Positioning System The DJI Vision Posi tioning System uses u ltrasound and image data to hel p the aircraft maintain its current position. With the help ol Vision Positioning. your Phantom 3 Profes sional can hover in place more precisely and fly indoors or in other environments where a GPS signal is not avaolable . 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.

Using Vision Positioning Vision Positioning is activated automatical ly when the Phantom 3 Professional is turn ed on . No further action is required . Vision Positioning is typ ically used in in door environments, where GPS is unavailab le . Using the sensors that are bui lt into the Vision Posit ion ing system, the Phan t om 3 Professional can hover precisely even wit hout GPS .

# Remote Controller Remote Controller Profile The Phantom 3 Professional remote controller is a muHi-function wireless communication device that integrates the video downlink system and aircraft remote control system . The video downlink and aircraft remote control system operate at 2.4 GHz . The r emote controller features a number of camera cootrol fun c tion s, such as taking and previewing photos and videos , as well as controlling gimbal motion. The remote contro ll er is powered by a 2S rechargeable battery . The battery level is displayed via LED indicat ors on the fron t panel of the re mote controller.

**~** • Compliance V ersion: The remote controll er is comp liant with both CE and FCC r egu lations . • Operating Mode: Control can be set to Mode 1 or Mode 2, or to a custom mode. • Mode 1: The right stick serves as the throttle . • Mode 2: The left stick serves as the throttle . 

# & To prevent transmission interlerence.

### Calibrating the Compass IMPORTANT: Al ways calibrat e the compass i n every new flight location . The compass is very sensitive to e lectromagnetic interfere nce, which can p r oduce abnormal compass data and lead to poor flight performan ce o r flight failure. Regular calibration is required for optimal performance. 

# 0 · Do not calibrate your compass where there is any possibility of strong magnetic interference.



### ~ Sources of potential interference include magnetite, parking structures . and subterranean ;:! 

### metal structures • Do not carry ferromagnetic materials wi th you during calibration such as keys or cellular

phones. 

### • Do not calibrate in direct proximity to large metal objects . • DO NOT calibrate indOOI"s. Calibrati on Procedures Choose an open area to carry out the following procedures . 1. Ensure that the compass is calibrated. 

### If 

### you did not calibrate the compass as part of your pre-flight

preparations , or if you have moved to a new location since the last calibration. tap the Aircraft Status Bar in the app and select " Cal ibrate• . then follow th e on-sc reen instructions . 2 . Hold the aircraft horizontally and r ota
