Camera and Gimbal

Camera Profile

The on-board camera uses the 1/2.3 inch CMOS sensor to capture video (up to 4096x2160p at 24fps or

4K at up to 30fps with the Phantom 3 4K) and 12 megapixel stills. You may choose to record the video in

either MOV or MP4 format. Available picture shooting modes include burst, continuous, and time-lapse

mode. A live preview of what the camera sees can be monitored on the connected mobile device via the

DJI GO app.

Camera Micro-SD Card Slot

To store your photos and videos, insert the Micro-SD card into the slot, as shown below, before

turning on the Phantom 3 4K. The Phantom 3 4K comes with a 16 GB Micro-SD card and supports

Micro-SD cards up to 64 GB. A UHS-1 Micro-SD card is recommended due to their fast read and

write speeds allowing you to save high-resolution video data.

Do not remove the Micro-SD card from the Phantom 3 4K when it is turned on.

Camera Data Port

Turn on the Phantom 3 4K and connect a USB cable to the Camera Data Port to download photos and

videos to your computer.

The aircraft must be turned on before attempting to access the files on the Micro-SD card.
