This is awesome. So thorough! I have zero knowledge of drones, DJIs et al. The tutorial reduced the immediate panic that set in as soon as I unpacked it from the box. Thanks from NZ!
sorry to be so off topic but does someone know a way to log back into an instagram account? I stupidly lost my account password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me.
@Kingsley Ayden Thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and im trying it out now. I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
It's a non sense.. how he is good and talented! Just perfect, seriously thanks. I'll see for a donation, it's rare but this really deserves it! Great job.
Thank you for a great video, (we now shot forward 7 years to 2022 !), and found you on you tube. Great info about features I did not know about, for example the simulator on the App, and great advice about firmware updates (example during a firmware update failure), and info about VPS, Pause Button, P S and A, and of course IMU (Internal Measurement Unit) and Compass advice, (all those awkward angles needed to hold the drone during calibrations), and how to do an emergency stop using the Home Button and the Left Stick (down to 4.30 position!). Overall thank you so much. I live in the UK, and sadly this wonderful piece of kit is restricted to my garden area, until I can pass that much needed exam. All the best ANDY (UK)
Hi, don't be shy about the exam. I'm across the pond but I'm sure the benefits of knowledge gained from exam prep is the same. You're recap of the video was nice to see, thanks for posting.
Awesome video. I was looking for a pro plus tutorial for beginner and I was lucky it's only been 1 week up! And it was perfect covering calibration and firmware update. Many thanks.
Thanks for a great video. I'm a drone newbie but have been a professional photographer for 30 years. I was Undecided about the Phantom 4, pro, versus inspire one pro. But I think I will go with the Phantom now. One point about the camera is that a bigger sensor will always give better quality even with less pixels. Crowding 20 megapixels in the one inch sensor of the phantom 4 Will produce lower quality than 12 megapixels in the much larger X5 sensor.
Thank you for the tutorial, it was much appreciated. To let you know I purchased my drone from a small independent dealer in Finland. I like the independents, I buy very little online.
I am very impressed with your vid. I have been flying fixed wing & helis, full sized & models, for 30 odd years. I have had 2 each of p2+ & p3a ,but decided that I needed the better camera, so i took the plunge with the p42+. It will be here in a couple of days, and your vid will save me several hours of playing, even though the p3a is similar in some respects. I can't wait! peter west - nz
brill video best one i found , and this includes the DJI ones too…great info on the updates , especially as i had updated and it still said it wanted updates , this baffled me until seiining your vid ..then all was explained in great easy to understand lingo..many thanks
Awesome tutorial! Saving it to my favorites for use as reference when I get my Phantom 4 pro +... Thank you again for putting together this tutorial... Thumbs up! 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 Greetings from Douglas, Arizona, United States.
Subscribed and followed. Appreciate this video. Have been flying drones for many years. The flying is not an issue but the video was invaluable for learning all the new onscreen features as I came from a Phantom 2 (70’s car to a 2020 AMG c63) Many thanks from Australia ✌️ Will look at your other in-depth videos. Appreciate you making them ✌️
I have this same drone on order. As an added comment, I too have several years building and flying RC aircraft, but this will be my first drone. Your video was very well done. I greatly appreciate the effort and time you put into making it. I live in Crested Butte, Colorado. Just wanted you to know that I found you well across the pond. :) Great Job! Much Thanks!
Great video, thanks for leaving the update errors in, as I have yet to do a firmware update on my DJI's that went without some sort of problem, so its good to know how you solved it. Thx Paul
Just jumped into the P4P... do you have any updates from 2017 that I should be aware of? There do seem to be a number of changes to the menus from the early versions to now. Thanks!! Great videos!!
I need help sir. I owned a P4 Pro and got the latest firmware on both the remote and the aircraft. Everytime I turn it on the IMU calibration appears and tried it for over 6th times andstill prompted me everytime I turn it on. Is there a way we can solve this >? Do I need to reset from the MANUCATURING RESET ? or downgrade ? Thanks !! Badly needed your help.
Got the new Pro plus and updated firmware with ease thanks to you however the academy training app freezes or just goes on it own so I am very afraid to fly it now. Any ideas ?
Hi, I just bought Phantom 4 and yet to open it. But, I was wondering. Is the app for the drone already pre-installed to the controller and automatically recognisable by the tablet being used? Or, do I have to download it manual?
I have Mavic on order (no sign of delivery) I'm seriously thinking of cancelling but I need the portability so this ruled out the P4P I might cancel anyway and hope for a Mavic 2 soon
shouldn't you upgrade the firmware using the assistant 2 program on a laptop or desktop?... it was recommended by dji that I do it that way for my phantom 4
Thank you very much for these as you have filled in an awful lots of missing information, the get started from DJI is rubbish and I have had a load of trouble.. one was that the video link dropped off and would not come back. You however are 400 miles from me so I cannot buy from you unless you do postal sales. I might be buying another battery as they do go down fast.
@ 38:00 you say that to turn the motors off you need to hold the stick down for 2 seconds. Wouldn't that kill the motors mid air while you are descending?
I recently bought the DJI Pro 4 + i have managed to create the account but when i try to activate all the settings etc a message props up stating i am not connected to the internet where in fact i am. Do i need to connect a lead or is it all done through wifi please help. Great video by the way
Just got my DJI 4pro+ today. Your video was great, thanks! Question, I'm trying to get the video from the DJI to my PC. Tried using the cord from the controller to my PC with the SD card in the controller but my PC isn't seeing it. Is there another way?
Hi Rick, Thanks for all your videos. I find them very informative and they’re very helpful, especially the ones on the P4P+. I hope you can answer one or two questions for me! I purchased the P4P+ Obsidian this summer and before I updated the controller/built in Crystal Sky screen, I was able to select the Map Icon on the startup screen to download the map of a region. However, after updating the controller to the latest version 01.04.01.00, the map icon no longer works, and therefore I can no longer download offline maps. Have you’ve experienced this and if so is there a solution and if not have contacted DJI to ask them as to what the problem is? Thanks, Sam
great video and yes you are correct not much instruction on how to use i have learnt all threw watching youtube videos i live in South Africa i just bought a phantom 4 pro only after seeing your video but for the future would you be able to send or courier to south africa?
Why did my camera cease to function at all after doing the firmware backup. ?? Seems to me that this happens quite a lot apparently according to some forums. All had to go back to Holland to be fixed. Hope its alright when it gets back
Jeremy Edwards the main reason people have issues is they buy there drone for sellers with no drone experience amd can't supports there customers so there only help is forums and Facebook . Most issues are an easy fix for an experienced drone dealer.
love your tutorials, if I may make so bold as to suggest that when you are pointing out buttons ,etc on the App, you do so with a slender pencil with an eraser ,so as not to damage the screen ,or something similar.Some times your finger obscures the relevant button. As they say in the Armed Forces when pointing at an objective on a map the width of a finger may give a 4 mile error. Thank you and could you repeat your Patreon site name...Thanks again
I have a dumb question but just wanted to be sure. I have a phantom 4 pro plus that I just got a couple days ago and am going to be sending the remote back to DJI because the screen bracket was defective and the whole screen was physically tilted to right. While my remote is off to DJI I was thinking about buying a regular remote without the screen so I could still fly and just wanted to make sure it would be compatible. I would imagine it would be but just wanted to make sure and can't find any answers online any feed back would be appreciated.
Bro, I have a question regarding photo result in my phantom 4 pro plus. Lately everytime I take some pics with my drone somehow the results were not available in the album. It seems the drone system cannot read the photo result. However this doesn’t happen when I take video. Any advice for this?
Thank you for a great video! I would like to as one question. Please could you write how I can upload video / photo from phantom 4 pro plus to MacBook Pro iOS version 10.12.3. Thank you in advance.
Hello is that controller only for phantom 4 Pro+ or Phantom 4 Pro as well? The reason why I am asking is i am going to purchase one in a few months, and I want that controller like that one.

uptowndisco2 mine is about 15 years old. Needs an upgrade.
Just jumped into the P4P... do you have any updates from 2017 that I should be aware of? There do seem to be a number of changes to the menus from the early versions to now. Thanks!! Great videos!!
Thank you!
Great vid for Beginner. Could you please make vid regarding Phantom 4 pro features?
I need help sir. I owned a P4 Pro and got the latest firmware on both the remote and the aircraft.

Hello,
What software do you use for the drone?
Thanks
Thanx so much
Thank you sooo very much!! You are incredible! I've shared your vid on FB and subscribed. Do you have more phantom 4 pro plus vids?
Hi I got the same thing, I run through everything but cant get the motors to start like you did. Just migrated from 3DR Solo to DJI
Hi, I just bought Phantom 4 and yet to open it. But, I was wondering. Is the app for the drone already pre-installed to the controller and automatically recognisable by the tablet being used? Or, do I have to download it manual?
When and where will your directions be for firmware update for the phantom 4 pro+
Exelent Fly Way 4Pro Plus
Thanks
I have Mavic on order (no sign of delivery) I'm seriously thinking of cancelling but I need the portability so this ruled out the P4P I might cancel anyway and hope for a Mavic 2 soon
teslar1 you may be well to.
I like it
I am having problems activating my phantom 4 pro v2 drone. What do I do
How do you adjust the gimbal speed on the pro plus, I cannot find it.
Use a pointer next time to prevent blocking the screen with your finger.
shouldn't you upgrade the firmware using the assistant 2 program on a laptop or desktop?... it was recommended by dji that I do it that way for my phantom 4
Rob Simpson you can do it either way but if you have issues the Assistant is a good choice.
Does P4plus has Ocusync?
thankuu very much
Nice
i hope this modle dont loose oriantasion and crash please say they do not and how do i avoid that please
Thank you very much for these as you have filled in an awful lots of missing information, the get started from DJI is rubbish and I have had a load of trouble.. one was that the video link dropped off and would not come back.

@ 38:00 you say that to turn the motors off you need to hold the stick down for 2 seconds. Wouldn't that kill the motors mid air while you are descending?
No its an intelligent system and knows you are still in the air.
I recently bought the DJI Pro 4 + i have managed to create the account but when i try to activate all the settings etc a message props up stating i am not connected to the internet where in fact i am. Do i need to connect a lead or is it all done through wifi please help. Great video by the way
What is the answer
Does the PLUS version with the CrystalSky screen allow use with other software to control the craft, such as Litchi or AutoPilot?
Bill Farnham at the moment no. But may change in the future.
Just got my DJI 4pro+ today. Your video was great, thanks! Question, I'm trying to get the video from the DJI to my PC. Tried using the cord from the controller to my PC with the SD card in the controller but my PC isn't seeing it. Is there another way?
Buy a SD Card reader. They are cheap and plug into your PC's USB 3.0 socket. Easy and fast file transfers.
Hi Rick,
Thanks for all your videos. I find them very informative and they’re very helpful, especially the ones on the P4P+.

do you take lessons for a newcomer who has just bought the Pro 4 +
MrBroooos yes i do drone training.
Do you need to stay connected to WiFi after the initial setup? For instance, do I need to stay connected via Hotspot when out in the field?
Matthew New No. You only need wifi for updating.
Thank you sir
great video and yes you are correct not much instruction on how to use i have learnt all threw watching youtube videos i live in South Africa i just bought a phantom 4 pro only after seeing your video but for the future would you be able to send or courier to south africa?

Alex Rothbard it would have to be a P4Pro controller but yes it would be fine.
That usb adapter was that included in the box?
Dan Jansson yes it’s included.
Bro, I have a question regarding photo result in my phantom 4 pro plus. Lately everytime I take some pics with my drone somehow the results were not available in the album. It seems the drone system cannot read the photo result. However this doesn’t happen when I take video. Any advice for this?
irwan utomo the built in screen runs on android and can be a little sketchy at times. Try a hard reset on the screen to clear the issue.
Thank you for a great video! I would like to as one question. Please could you write how I can upload video / photo from phantom 4 pro plus to MacBook Pro iOS version 10.12.3.
Thank you in advance.
Sorry i dont have a Macbook so ive not done that.
thank you for your answer.
Hello is that controller only for phantom 4 Pro+ or Phantom 4 Pro as well? The reason why I am asking is i am going to purchase one in a few months, and I want that controller like that one.
Robert OSteen yes you can use this with the Pro 4.
Hi I was just wondering about sd cards for my mavic pro. Would the sandisk extreme plus UHS speed class 3 be ok?
That is what I use , no problems with the card.
