Drone Overview — DJI Phantom 3 Advanced

The DJI Phantom 3 Advanced is a consumer-oriented aerial imaging drone built around a 12.4 MP, 1/2.3-inch sensor capable of capturing stills at up to 4000x3000 px resolution. For video, the drone tops out at 2.7K at up to 30fps, with additional support for 1080p at up to 60fps and 720p at up to 60fps — giving shooters a solid range of frame rate options across resolutions. Video is recorded at 8-bit depth across four color profiles: Standard, Vivid, Art, and Black & White.

Still shooters get those same color profiles plus a RAW option, along with burst mode at up to 3 frames per second. ISO sensitivity runs from 100 to 3200. Stability in the air and in the footage is handled by gimbal stabilization — there is no in-body or digital IS.

Storage is via microSD card, and the drone connects to a mobile device running the DJI GO app for display and control. USB connectivity is present, though USB-C is not. The LiPo 4S battery provides approximately 23 minutes of flight time.

The body is constructed from plastic, weighs 1.3 kg, and measures 590 mm diagonally including propellers. There is no weather sealing. WiFi and Bluetooth are not present.
