Phantom 3 Advanced overview

The DJI Phantom 3 Advanced is a 1,280 g camera drone released in April 2015, with a 12.4 MP 1/2.3" camera and up to 23 minutes of flight.

It supports automated waypoint missions. At 120 m the Wide resolves about 5.12 cm/px, and one photo covers about 3.14 ha. It has no onboard RTK or mechanical shutter, so survey-grade output relies on ground control points, standard for this class.
