DJI has made the perfect affordable Phantom. It's easy to fly, ready to fly, and packed full of the features you'd expect in a professional-level drone. You'll shoot stunning video at 2.7K Ultra HD, thanks to the Phantom's stable and reliable flight. Plus, coming soon via software upgrade: autopilot navigation, including Follow Me and Orbit to keep you perfectly in frame. With the Phantom 3 Standard, you have everything you need to make an aerial masterpiece! Up to 25 minutes flying time 0.5 mile/1km range Super-stable video with gimbal stabilization Ultra HD video with 2.7K camera Description Gimbal-Stabilized 2.7K Camera Up to 2.7K Video and 12MP Stills The included camera system features video recording at up to 2.7K (UHD) in H.264 and also takes JPEG and DNG RAW photos at 12MP. In addition, it shoots Full HD 108p video at up to 30 fps and 720p video at up to 60 fps. Video and photo are recorded to a microSD card. Integrated 3-Axis Gimbal The gimbal provides stability by counteracting unwanted motion such as wind buffeting or vibration and also keeps the horizon level even as the quadcopter banks. A control dial on the transmitter (radio controller) allow you to manually tilt the camera. 94° Wide Angle Lens The camera features a 94° angle-of-view lens, which is a narrower angle than a fisheye for less distortion while still being wide enough to enable image capture. The lens features an f/2.8 aperture and is comprised of 9 elements, including an aspherical element. DJI Go App for Remote Operation and Live Monitoring Tether your iOS mobile device to the Phantom 3 Standard to view a live feed from the camera, access camera settings, enable waypoint navigation, and more. The controller features a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi range extender and includes a clamp for holding a smartphone (included mobile device holder does not support tablets). 720p Video Downlink Monitor a live video feel with low latency at up to 720p resolution. The radio controller features an integrated 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi range extender that boosts the range up to 3280.8' line-of-sight. Remote Camera Operation Through the app, you can frame your shot, snap still photos and record video. The app can also be used to access manual settings, such as shutter speed. Once done recording, you can use the video editor to create movies ready for sharing. Ground Station-Style Navigation Use the app to display a live map that tracks your Phantom 3 Standard as it flies. You can also show flight telemetry (OSD), including speed, altitude and distance. Course and telemetry can be logged. Handheld Radio Controller (Transmitter) Full control is in your hands with a remote controller built specifically for the Phantom 3 Standard. Precise control sticks command flight, while a dial lets you tilt the camera to see more. It includes a built-in rechargeable battery, a clamp to hold your mobile device, and a range extender for operation from up to 3280.8' away. Performance Redesigned Motors New motors introduced with the Phantom 3 Standard feature higher performance relative to their weight. Curved DJI electromagnets are used to spin the motors at high, controllable speeds - all by using magnetic force, without any physical contact, to increase durability. Intelligent Flight Control System GPS-Assisted Autopilot System GPS integration enables enhanced stability and a provides a number of assisted flying and full autopilot features, such as return to home, Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC), and and Point of Interest (POI) lock. Return Home With GPS enabled, the Phantom 3 will remember its takeoff point and automatically return to the pilot if the control signal is ever lost. Auto Hover After takeoff, the drone automatically hovers in place, waiting for your command. It then changes altitude or direction at the flick of a finger. When you want it to stop, it again pauses and hovers, waiting for your next instruction. Additional Features Intelligent Flight Battery The flight battery slots into the "tail" of the Phantom 3 and features an on/off switch, plus four LED charge indicators that are visible while flying - so you can keep track of remaining flight time without needing to consult the app. For recharging, balance and power regulation is handled internally within the battery itself. Simply plug it into a wall outlet with the supplied power cord. The battery lasts up to 25 minutes, depending on flying conditions.
