Introduction

The Phantom 3 Advanced represents the next generation of DJI quadcopters. It is capable of capturing

1080p 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: Phantom 3 Advanced has a fully integrated camera that shoots 1080p video at up to

60 frames per second and captures 12 megapixel photos. An enhanced sensor gives you greater clarity,

lower noise, and better pictures than any previous ying 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 ight controller has been updated to provide a safer, more reliable

ight experience. A newly implemented ight recorder stores critical data from each ight and the Vision

Positioning System enhances hovering precision when ying indoors or in environments where GPS is

unavailable.
