Introduction

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

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

system.

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

battery 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

available.
