Introduction

The Phantom 3 Professional 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 system provides hovering precision.

Feature Highlights

Product Profile

Camera and Gimbal: The Phantom 3 Professional camera shoots, of course, 4K video 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 battery 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 precision when ying indoors and no GPS is available.

System and the Intelligent Flight Battery.

Flight Controller

The Phantom 3 Professional ight controller is based on DJI ight controller with several enhancements such as new ight mode. Three safe modes are available: Failsafe, Return Home and Dynamic Home Point. These features ensure the safe return of your aircraft if the control signal is lost. The ight controller can stores crucial ight data to the on-board storage device for each ight.

Flight Mode

Three ight modes are available. The details of each ight mode are found in the section below:

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 signal strength

of GPS and Vision Positioning sensors :

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 Position-

ing 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

about IOC, refer to the IOC section in the Appendix.

Use the Flight Controller mode switch to change the ight mode of the aircraft, refer to the “Flight

Mode Switch” on P24 for more information.

Aircraft

Flight Status Indicator

The Phantom 3 Professional comes with the Front LED and Aircraft Status Indicator. The positions of these LEDs are shown in the gure below:

Aircraft Status Indicator

Front LED

The Front shows the orientation of the aircraft. The Front LED displays solid red. Aircraft Status Indicator shows the system status of the ight controller. Refer to the table below for more information about the

Return to Home (RTH)

The Return to Home (RTH) brings the aircraft back to the last recorded Home Point. There are three cases

that will trigger RTH procedure; they are Smart RTH, Low Battery RTH and Failsafe RTH. The remaining

part of this section will describe these three cases in details.

Description

Home Point

GPS

The Home Point is the location at which your aircraft takes off when the

GPS signal is strong. You can view the GPS signal strength through

the GPS icon ( ). Aircraft status indicator will blink rapidly when home point is recorded.

Smart RTH

Use the RTH button on the remote controller (refer to “RTH button” on P28 for more information) or tap the

RTH button in the DJI Pilot app when GPS is available to start Smart RTH. The aircraft returns to the latest

recorded Home Point, you may control the aircraft's orientation to avoid collision during the Smart RTH. Press and hold the Smart RTH button once to start the process, press the Smart RTH button again to exit

Smart RTH and regain the control.

Phantom 3 Professional User Manual

Low Battery RTH

The low battery level failsafe is triggered when the DJI Intelligent Flight Battery is depleted to a point that may affect the safe return of the aircraft. Users are advised to return home or land the aircraft immediately when these warnings are prompted. DJI Pilot app will advise user to return the aircraft to the Home Point when low battery warning is triggered. Aircraft will automatically return to the Home Point if no action is taken after 10 seconds countdown. User can cancel the RTH by pressing once on the RTH button. The thresholds for these warnings are automatically determined based on the current aircraft altitude and its distance from the Home Point. Aircraft will land automatically if the current battery level can only support the aircraft to land from the current altitude. User can use the remote controller to control the aircraft’s orientation during the landing process.

The Battery Level Indicator is displayed in the DJI Pilot app, and is described below

When the critical battery level warning activates and the aircraft is descending to land

automatically, you may push the throttle upward to hover the aircraft and navigate it to a more

appropriate location for landing.

Aircraft cannot avoid obstruction during the Failsafe RTH, therefore it is important to set an suitable Failsafe altitude before each ight. Launch the DJI Pilot app and enter “Camera” view and select “MODE” to set the Failsafe altitude.

Aircraft will stop ascending and return to the Home Point immediately if throttle stick is moved during the Failsafe RTH procedure

Dynamic Home Point

Dynamic home point is useful in situations when you are in motion and require a Home Point that is

different from the takeoff point. You may only use the Dynamic Home Point feature on the GPS - enabled

mobile device.

Ensure the space above the GPS module is not obstructed when using Dynamic Home Point.
