Support for Phantom 3 Standard

No. The camera that comes with the Phantom 3 Standard is permanently attached. Attempting to remove, replace, or modify the camera may damage the product and will void your warranty.

Do not remove the Micro SD card from the camera. If it has been removed, place it back in the camera. Turn on the Phantom 3 Standard and wait approximately 30 seconds as the video file is restored.

Precision elements in the gimbal may be damaged in a collision or impact, which may cause the gimbal to function abnormally.
Do not apply external force to the gimbal after the gimbal is powered on.
Do not add any payloads to the gimbal, as this may cause the gimbal to function abnormally or even lead to motor damage.
Remove the gimbal clamp before powering on the gimbal. Re-install the gimbal clamp to secure the gimbal's position if you are going to store the aircraft for an extended period.

The Phantom 3 Standard comes with an 8 GB Micro SD card, but also supports Micro SD cards with a capacity of up to 64 GB. We recommend using a UHS-1 or Class 6 Micro SD card to minimize delay when reading or writing high resolution image files. Do not insert or remove the Micro SD card when the Phantom 3 Standard is turned on.

You can access videos and photos stored on the Micro SD card by connecting the Phantom 3 Standard to your PC with the camera's Micro USB port with a USB cable or card reader.

The Camera Status LED lights up when the aircraft is turned on and provides information on the working status of the camera. Please refer to the User Manual for more details.

Two gimbal operation modes are available. Switch between the different operation modes on the camera settings page of the DJI GO app. Note that your mobile device must be connected to the remote controller for changes to take effect. Refer to the following description for details:
Follow Mode: The pitch angles of the gimbal and the aircraft stay the same.
FPV Mode: The pitch and roll angles of the gimbal and the aircraft stay the same, providing a unique first-person view.

The Phantom 3 Standard comes with two Anti-drop Pins which help secure the gimbal and camera to the aircraft. To install additional pins, please refer to the User Manual.
Push the Anti-drop Pin through the damper and the center of the ring. Press them together until you hear a click. Only 2 pins installed adjacent from each other are required during use.

By default, the remote controller is set to Mode 2. This means that the right control stick controls the movement of the aircraft and the left control stick controls the throttle and orientation of the aircraft. These controls can be changed to Mode 1 or set to a customized configuration in the DJI GO app. This is only recommended for advanced users.

No, there is no need to buy a separate remote controller. Your Phantom 3 Standard comes with a custom-built remote controller that is already linked to the aircraft.

No. The included Remote Controller can be used to control both the aircraft and the gimbal tilt at the same time.

If the remote controller is powered on and has not been used for 5 minutes, it will sound an alert. After 20 minutes it will automatically power off. Move the sticks or perform some other action to cancel the alert.

1. Ensure the remote controller is fully charged before each flight.
2. Ensure the mobile device holder is firmly in place and does not slip.
3. Ensure the antenna of the remote controller is unfolded and adjusted to the proper position to achieve optimal transmission quality.
4. Repair or replace the remote controller if damaged. A damaged remote controller antenna will greatly decrease performance.

No. The Phantom 3 series uses a newly designed Intelligent Flight Battery with greater power. The Phantom 3 has a 4 cell battery with a capacity of 4480 mAh and a voltage of 15.2 V.

Yes, the Phantom 3 series batteries are the same.

Flight time will vary depending on environmental conditions and usage patterns, but the Intelligent Flight Battery is designed to provide up to 25 minutes of uninterrupted flight time when fully charged.

Every Intelligent Flight Battery is tested prior to being packaged and shipped. This affects the discharge time of a new battery and is the reason that the discharge time displayed in the GO app is not zero. The battery is safe to use.

The battery capacity is significantly reduced when flying in cold environments (i.e. air temperatures below 0 degree Celsius).
It is not recommended to fly in very cold environments (i.e. air temperatures below minus 10 degrees and 5 degrees Celsius).
End the flight as soon as possible if the Low Battery Level Warning appears when you are flying in low temperature environments.
Try to warm up the battery indoors prior to flying in low temperature environments.
Keep the battery core temperature above 20 degrees Celsius to ensure optimal performance.
The charger will pause the charging process if the battery core temperature is out of operating range (0 to 40 degrees Celsius).
Ensure the temperature of the Intelligent Flight Battery exceeds 5 degrees Celsius before takeoff.
To warm up the aircraft battery, power it on inside the battery compartment for approximately 1-2 minutes before takeoff. Begin flying by hovering the aircraft at a low altitude for approximately 1 minute to ensure that the battery temperature is stable

When the battery is powered off, press the power button once. The battery Level Indicator will light up to display the current battery level.

Please refer to the User Manual for the LED blinking patterns and their corresponding battery protection warning.
After the protection issue is resolved, press the power button to turn off the battery protection warning. Unplug the Intelligent Flight Battery from the battery charger and plug it back in to resume charging. Note that you do not need to unplug and plug the battery charger in the event of a room temperature error. The battery charger will resume charging when the temperature falls within the normal range.

Slow: Place the Intelligent Flight Battery into the Phantom 3 Standard's battery compartment and turn it on. Leave it on until there is less than 8% of battery remaining, or until the battery can no longer be turned on. Check the battery level in the DJI GO app. Fast: Fly the Phantom 3 Standard outdoors until there is less than 8% of battery remaining or until the battery can no longer be turned on.

The charging time using the provided charger is about 1.5 hours.
When charging is complete, the battery will automatically power off.

Discharge the battery to 40%-65% if it will not be used for 10 days or more. This can greatly extend the battery life.
The battery automatically discharges to below 65% when it is idle for more than 10 days to prevent it from swelling. It takes approximately 3 days to discharge the battery to 65%. It is normal that you may feel moderate heat emitting from the battery during the discharge process. Set the discharging thresholds in the DJI GO app.
The battery will enter hibernation mode if depleted and stored for a long period. When in hibernation mode, if you try to power on the battery, the battery power LED will show a solid red light and the battery level LEDs will all be off. You cannot manually turn off the battery power LED in this state. Leave the battery unattended for 5 minutes, and the light will turn off. Recharge the battery to bring it out of hibernation.
Remove batteries from the aircraft when stored for an extended period.

Store the Intelligent Flight Battery and remote controller in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to ensure the built-in LiPo battery does not overheat. Recommended storage temperature: between 22 and 28 degrees Celsius for storage periods of more than three months. Never store in environments outside the temperature range of -20 to 45 degrees Celsius.
