### What are the best features of this 3-axis Gimbal aerial platform?

The Zenmuse H3-3D 3-axis gimbal is a motor-powered stabilizer that is used to mount your GoPro HERO3 or HERO3+ action camera that inevitably depletes the vibrations that came from the the rotors thus giving you the the smoothest possible aerial video. Also, the camera tilts between -130 to +50° with a precision of ±0.08°, which keeps the GoPro camera tilted in a constant position no matter what angle the Phantom 2 is on, granting you a smooth and shake-free footage. This “ready-to-fly” edition of the Phantom 2 Quadcopter is equipped with a 6-channel, 2.4 GHz transmitter which is already pre-bound with the aircraft. It highlights an operational range that goes for up to 3,280′ line-of-sight, depending on climate or weather conditions.

The H3-3D gimbal is powered by identical advanced algorithms, accurate sensors and brushless motor designs that are utilized in professional Zenmuse gimbals, making it remarkably stable. Thanks to its independent high-precision Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) users will get precise attitude information and well-defined control. It also uses intelligent long lasting, high capacity, high performance 5200mAh Lithium Polymer battery with a span of up to 25 minutes of flight time. The same battery feautes built in intelligence that offers battery capacity data, over charge/discharge protection, as well as maintenance cues making the battery extremely dependable and safe.
