User Manual
How do I use the Director automatic video editor?
Director is an automatic video editor built into the DJI Pilot app. After recording several video clips, simply
tap “Director” from the app’s home screen. You can then select a template and a specied number of
clips, which are automatically combined to create a short lm that can be shared immediately.
How do I change the control mode of my Phantom 3?
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 conguration in the DJI Pilot app. This is only
recommended for advanced users.
Can I use a Phantom 2 Remote Controller with the Phantom 3?
No. The Phantom 2 Remote Controller operates on a different frequency. The Phantom 2 Remote Controller
operates at 5.8 GHz and the new Phantom 3 Remote Controller operates at 2.4 GHz.
Can I use a Phantom 2 Intelligent Flight Battery with the Phantom 3?
No. The Phantom 3 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.
My Phantom 3 does not turn off right away, is something wrong?
This is normal. After you attempt to power off the Intelligent Flight Battery, it may remain on for a few
seconds as any video data is saved to the Micro SD card. This helps prevent your data from being lost or
corrupted.
Do I have to buy the Remote Controller separately?
No, there is no need to buy a separate Remote Controller. Your Phantom 3 comes with a Remote Controller
that is already linked to the aircraft.
Does my Phantom 3 support dual Remote Controllers?
No. The included Remote Controller can be used to control both the aircraft and the gimbal tilt at the same
time.
What does the “P, A, F” switch on the Remote Controller do?
This switch, called the Flight Mode Switch, allows you to toggle different ight modes:
P-mode, or Positioning mode, indicates that both GPS and the Vision Positioning System are active and
your Phantom 3 will attempt to stabilize using both.
In A-mode, or Attitude mode, the aircraft does not use GPS or the Vision Positioning System. Only the
barometer is used for stabilization. The aircraft can still return to the Home Point as long as a sufcient GPS
signal is available.
F-mode, or Function mode, activates Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC) functionality. Refer to the IOC
section in the Appendix of the User Manual.
By default, only P-mode may be used. Refer to your user manual for instructions on unlocking the other
modes.
