Introduction

The Phantom 3 Advanced is a brand new quadcopter capable of capturing HD video and transmitting

an HD video signal out of the box. The built-in camera has an integrated gimbal to maximize stability and

weight efciency while minimizing space. Even when no GPS signal is available, Vision Positioning sys-

tem provides hovering precision.

Feature Highlights

Camera and Gimbal: The Phantom 3 Advanced camera records video at up to 1080P and it is capable of

capturing 12 megapixel stills.

HD Video Downlink: Low latency, HD downlink powered by an enhanced version of the DJI Lightbridge

system.

DJI Intelligent Flight Battery: 4480 mAh DJI Intelligent Flight Battery employs new battery cells and a bat-

tery management system.

Flight Controller: The next generation ight controller system provides a more reliable ight experience. A

new ight recorder stores the ight data from each ight, and Vision Positioning enhances hovering preci-

sion when ying indoors and no GPS is available.
