Introduction

The Phantom 3 SE 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 Gimbal: With the Phantom 3 SE, you’re shooting 4K video at up to 30 frames per second and

capturing 12 megapixel photos that look crisper and cleaner than ever. An enhanced sensor gives you

greater clarity, lower noise, and better pictures than any previous ying camera.

Wi-Fi Video Downlink: Live HD video is streamed from the camera to the DJI GO app over Wi-Fi as you

y. A Wi-Fi range extender is built into the remote controller.

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.
