Frequently asked questions

What are the headline DJI Phantom 3 4K specifications?

What is the DJI Phantom 3 4K flight-time figure?

DJI lists approximately 25 minutes under its stated conditions. Wind, battery age, temperature, flight style and takeoff configuration can reduce actual endurance.

What is the DJI Phantom 3 4K control or Wi-Fi range?

The DJI manual lists 1,200 m FCC or 500 m CE for both its Wi-Fi and remote-controller tables in outdoor unobstructed tests with the aircraft at 120 m altitude. These are test values, not permission to fly that far.

Which remote controller model is listed for Phantom 3 4K?

DJI lists GL358wB and GL390wB (Japan version). Confirm the printed label, regional aircraft and firmware before pairing; the manual does not establish Phantom 3 SE GL358wD interchangeability.

Does Phantom 3 4K record 4096×2160 at 30fps?

No. The manual lists 4096×2160 at 24/25fps and 3840×2160 at 24/25/30fps. The 30fps headline applies to the latter UHD mode.

Does this Wiki page prove current stock, parts, or repair support?

No. This is an official-source model reference. Confirm any current Reboot Hub product, part, compatibility, or service path from the exact live listing or a written support response.
