Camera and Gimbal

This section provides the technical specifications of the camera and explains the gimbal’s operation modes.

Camera and Gimbal

Camera Prole

The on-board camera uses the 1/2.3 inch CMOS sensor to capture video (up to 30fps with the Phantom 3 Standard) and 12 megapixel stills. You may choose to record the video in either MOV or MP4 format. Available picture shooting modes include burst, continuous, and time-lapse mode. A live preview of what the camera sees can be monitored on the WiFi connected mobile device via the DJI Pilot app.

Camera Micro-SD Card Slot

To store your photos and videos, insert the Micro-SD card into the slot, as shown below, before turning on the Phantom 3 Standard. The Phantom 3 Standard comes with a 16 GB Micro-SD card and supports MicroSD cards up to 64 GB. A UHS-1 Micro-SD card is recommended due to their fast read and write speeds allowing you to save high-resolution video data.

Gimbal Camera

Do not remove the Micro-SD card from the Phantom 3 Standard when it is turned on.

Camera Data Port

Turn on the Phantom 3 Standard and connect a USB cable to the Camera Data Port to download photos and videos to your computer.

The aircraft must be turned on before attempting to access the les on the Micro-SD card.

Gimbal Operation Modes

Two gimbal operation modes are available. Switch between the different operation modes on the camera settings page of the DJI Pilot app. Note that your mobile device must be connected to the remote controller for changes to take eect. Refer to the table below for details:

Follow Mode

FPV Mode

A gimbal motor error may occur in these situations: (1) the aircraft is placed on uneven ground

or the gimbal’s motion is obstructed (2) the gimbal has been subjected to an excessive external force, such as a collision. Please take off from flat, open ground and protect the gimbal at all times.

Flying in heavy fog or clouds may make the gimbal wet, leading to temporary failure. The

gimbal will recover full functionality after it dries.

The angle between gimbal’s orientation and aircraft’s nose remains constant at all times.

The gimbal will synchronize with the movement of the aircraft to provide a rst-person perspective ying experience.
