Vision Positioning System
The DJI Vision Positioning System uses ultrasound and image data to help the aircraft maintain its current 
position. With the help of Vision Positioning, your Phantom 3 4K can hover in place more precisely and fly 
indoors or in other environments where a GPS signal is not available. The main components of the Vision 
Positioning System are located on the bottom of your Phantom 3 4K;  they include [2] two ultrasonic 
sensors and [1] one monocular camera.

If the aircraft is flying under 20 meters (65 feet) and Failsafe (including 
Smart RTH, Lower Battery RTH ) is triggered, the aircraft will first 
automatically ascend to 20 meters (65 feet) from the current altitude.

regain the control of the remote controller.

Aircraft automatically descends and lands if RTH is triggered when the 
aircraft flies within a 20 meters (65 feet) radius of the Home Point. Aircraft 
will stop ascending and immediately return to the Home Point if you move 
the throttle stick if the aircraft reaches 20 meters (65 feet) altitudes or 
beyond during Failsafe.

if you move the throttle stick after the aircraft rises above 65 feet 
(20m) but below the pre-set Failsafe RTH altitude, the aircraft will stop 
ascending and immediately return to the Home Point.
Using Vision Positioning 
Vision Positioning is activated automatically when the Phantom 3 4K is turned on. No further action 
is required. Vision Positioning is typically used in indoor environments, where GPS is unavailable. 
Using the sensors that are built into the Vision Positioning system, the Phantom 3 4K can hover 
precisely even without GPS.
