Vision Positioning System

DJI Vision Positioning is a positioning system that uses ultrasonic and image data to help the aircraft

identify its current position. With the help of Vision Positioning, your Phantom 3 Professional can hover in place more precisely and y indoors or in other environments where there is no GPS signal available. The main components of DJI Vision Positioning are located on the bottom of your Phantom 3 Professional,

including [1] one monocular camera and [2]two sonar sensors.

Aircraft

Using Vision Positioning

Vision Positioning is activated automatically when the Phantom 3 Professional is powered on. No manual action is required. Vision Positioning is typically used in the indoor environment where no GPS is available. By using the sensors on the Vision Positioning system, Phantom 3 Professional can perform precision hovering even when no GPS is available.

Phantom 3 Professional User Manual

Follow the steps below to use Vision Positioning:

1. Toggle the switch to “P” mode.

2. Place the aircraft on a at surface. Notice that the Vision Positioning system cannot work properly on

surfaces without pattern variations.

3. Power on the aircraft. The aircraft status indicator will ash twice in green light, which indicates the Vision

Positioning system is ready. Gently push the throttle up to lift off, and the aircraft will hover in place.

The performance of your Vision Positioning System is subject to the surface you are ying over.

The ultrasonic waves may not be able to accurately measure the distance over sound absorbing

Aircraft

materials, and the camera may not function correctly in suboptimal environments. The aircraft will switch from “P” mode to “A” mode automatically if both GPS and Vision Positioning System are

not available. So operate the aircraft cautiously when in any of the following situations:

Flying over monochrome surfaces (e.g. pure black, pure white, pure red, pure green). Flying over a highly reective surfaces. Flying at high speeds(over 8 m/s at 2 meters or over 4 m/s at 1 meter). Flying over water or transparent surfaces. Flying over moving surfaces or objects. Flying in an area where the lighting changes frequently or drastically. Flying over extremely dark (lux < 10) or bright (lux > 100,000) surfaces. Flying over surfaces that can absorb sound waves (e.g. thick carpet). Flying over surfaces without clear patterns or texture. Flying over surfaces with identical repeating patterns or textures (e.g. tiles with same design). Flying over inclined surfaces that will deect sound waves away from the aircraft.

Keep the sensors clean at all times. Dirt or other debris may adversely affect the effectiveness

of the sensors.

The effective hovering altitudes of the aircraft is from 0 to 3 meters.

Vision Positioning system may not function properly when the aircraft is ying over water.

Vision Positioning system may not be able to recognize pattern on the ground in low light

conditions (less than 100 lux).

Do not use other ultrasonic devices with frequency of 40 KHz when Vision Positioning system is

in operation.

Vision Positioning system may not be able to stabilize the aircraft when flying close to the

ground (below 0.5 meters) in fast speed.

Keep the animals away from the aircraft when Vision Positioning system is activated. The sonar

sensor emits high frequency sound that is only audible to some animals.

Flight Recorder

Flight data is automatically recorded to the SD card. This includes ight telemetry, aircraft status information, and other parameters. Access these data from the DJI Pilot app through the Aircraft

Micro-USB Port.

Attaching and Detaching the Propellers

Use only DJI approved propellers with your Phantom 3 Professional. The grey or black nut on the propeller indicates the rotation direction of the propeller and where it should be attached. To attach

Ensure propellers are attached to its corresponding motors, otherwise the aircraft cannot take off.

Wear gloves when handling propellers.

Manually tighten each of the propellers on the corresponding motors to ensure it is attached

rmly.

Detaching the Propellers

Hold the motor still. Then spin the propeller in the unlock direction indicated on the propeller itself.

Check that the propellers and motors are installed correctly and rmly before every ight. Ensure that all propellers are in good condition before each ight. DO NOT use aged, chipped,

or broken propellers.

To avoid injury, STAND CLEAR of and DO NOT touch propellers or motors when they are spinning.

ONLY use original DJI propellers for a better and safer ight experience.

Remote Control

RemoteControllerProle

The Phantom 3 Professional remote control is a multi-function wireless communication device that integrates the video downlink ground system and aircraft remote control system. The video downlink and aircraft remote control system operate at 2.4 GHz. The remote controller features a number of camera

functions, such as taking and previewing photos and video, and controlling gimbal motions. The remote controller is powered by a 2S rechargeable battery. The current battery level is displayed by LEDs on the

front panel of the remote control.

Compliance Version: The remote control is compliant with both CE and FCC regulations. Operating Mode: Control can be set to Mode 1 , Mode 2. Mode 1: The right stick serves as the throttle. Mode 2: The left stick serves as the throttle.

Do not operate more than 3 aircrafts within in the same area (size equivalent to a soccer eld) to

prevent transmission interference.

Remote Controller Operations

Powering On and Off the Remote Controller

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 GPS signal

P-GPS: GPS and Vision Positioning both are available, and the aircraft is using GPS for positioning. P-OPTI: Vision Positioning is available but the GPS signal is not. Aircraft is using only Vision

Positioning for hovering

P-ATTI: Neither GPS or Vision Positioning available, aircraft is using only its barometer for positioning,

so only altitude is controlled. A mode (Attitude): GPS and Vision Positioning System is not used for stabilization. The aircraft only uses its barometer to stabilize. The aircraft can automatically return home if remote control signal is lost if the Home Point is recorded successfully. F mode (Function): Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC) is activated in this mode. For more information
