Phantom 3 Camera Help

Eemojis · Jan 17, 2017

Hey guys! Just bought my first phantom (phantom 3 standard) and had about 20 minutes to play with it, and it's fun ! I've bought to enjoy and also film and take pictures with it. And I don't know if I haven't played with it too much or if the phantom 3 standard doesn't support what I was hoping it will have. The main question is, is there a way I could move the gimbal to look straight down or left/right ? Instead of moving the whole phantom 3 standard body around, and if so. Where would I be able to find this option ? Thanks in advance !

You can use the wheel on the top, left corner of the remote controller to move the camera up/down. You must yaw the aircraft to look to either side though.

You can also assign one of the Custom buttons to have the camera point down.

Thank you so much for the quick and helpful response ! I'll try that the second I get home. Another quick question, I use my iPhone to control my drone and since it's cold, my phone dies really quickly (sometimes even goes straight to 1%). So what will happen if my phone dies while my drone is in air, and what do you recommend that I get? A portable charger for example. Thanks again!

That is not normal behavior. Might want to have Apple do a battery health check on your phone.
