Sorry, I can't agree. This got confusing when you started talking about course lock in the middle of the PoI tuition. Good teachers stay on point! @@BillNicholsTV
Your style of teaching really resonates with me; no blaring music while you're speaking, no gimmicks, just straight forward information presented in a classy way. Thank you. I have a C100 MK II.
The thing I like about this video is that you show the button to press by highlighting in yellow, for a user who hasn't seen a mode before, there is no doubt as to what to press, not seen this in any other video, well thought out. It really makes a difference. Thank you.
I just purchased a DJI Phantom 4 and while waiting for delivery I have been consuming every "How To" P4 video I can find. Your video on the POI Mode was great! Easy to follow and I appreciated your display of the DJI GO interaction while using the POI Mode. I look forward to viewing the rest of your P4 series. Many thanks...
Thanks Bill! I purchased my "P4A" both from a curiosity standpoint and as an amateur photographer. As a relatively new P4A "operator", I've found the "in box" DJI instructional documentation very basic and clearly reliant upon publicly-available information such as your videos. Your videos are incredibly informative and useful, and clearly fill the operating instructions gap that exists with this drone platform!
Binge-watching Bill Nichols TV! Probably the best tutorial video series I've seen. You explain things very well and thoroughly without dragging it out. I'm new to droning and you make learning the craft of piloting easy. Keep up the great work. Thoroughly enjoy the way you teach.
I'm new to the serious drone photography aspect. Just bought the Phantom 4 pro. Lots to learn, and I'm going to watch all your videos.You have done and excellent job creating this instructional video. Many thanks. Roger
This is the most effective and easiest video for POI mode flying Phantom 4. Really have been trying to learn this mode of flying but watching several others is bit confusing. Hope to see more such effective tutorial videos in near future. See tutorial videos should be simpler and informative rather than making you confusing and giving you an idea of very tough job which is actually not. Thanks a lot..
Could not for the life of me, figure this POI out, thanks, it worked today and I got some great footage to work on my portfolio, thanks! It's folks like you that help other succeed!
The Absolutely best video on POI I've ever seen! Your voice, timing and pronouncing is perfect (no unneeded verbiage) a real demo of how to speak as well as the description of the POI!
It might be a little late, but I have just purchased a Phantom 4, (used), and am absorbing as many lessons as I can before the first flight. Most interesting and easy to follow. Many thanks, Donald.
Hey Bill Just bought a P4 as my first drone, and 'popped my cherry' with a few flights over my local park. What a great drone! Super happy with it. I'm also very glad that I found your channel. The videos are informative, easy to digest, taught at a good speed without being patronizing for the beginners like me. Keep up the good work!
Bill, your DJI Phantom 4 videos are incredible! There are lots of info videos available for this platform, but IMHO your presentations are the most useful to me. I appreciate your attention to safety, both of other's personal and property along with that of the drone. Thanks!
Bill, thank you for making this video. You're the first person to articulately and clearly describe how to use this feature. This helped me complete a job today. :-)
Been trying to work this type of flightpath seemlessly into CGI rendered overlays of buildings.. this has been the best showcase by far for this shot.. thank you Bill!
+Dan Everett Thanks Dan, means a lot! I wouldn't worry about losing it (with the exception if you are doing something particularly risky) really robust, the software is great, solid overall.
Just got my own Phantom 4 this week. Still acquiring my flying skills, but I have found your videos incredibly helpful. Thanks for taking the time to make them!
Clear and easy to follow. Thanks Bill for posting. I'm going to try it to fly around a church spire near my house. I take note of what you said regarding how far away the drone can get. I don't want it to activate return to home because the take off point is in my garden which is a pretty built up area and not straight forward to take off or land. Keep up the great videos. :)
Great Tutorial, P4Pro on order been waiting 2 years to buy the right drone for still photography and videos, your video makes a complex system look easy so thank you
Very helpful instructional video . Cheers Bill . Just got our Phantom 4 and learning heaps . Basically getting it up is unbelievably easy , after doing all the firmware downloads and updates , now to learn all the extra functions to get the most out of it . Subscribed and looking at other videos now . Thank you .
Just recently purchased a Phantom 4, I have been dialing in my Photography and quad copter skills. I have found your videos on the Phantom 4 and use of the camera very helpful. Although the Phantom 4 is very intuitive it is it's really nice to have a more in-depth look at it's robust features. Looking forward to your next videos and your new editing series. Thanks
That's awesome Kevin, likely week after next I will start having a steady schedule of different content on different days and Premiere will be one of the regular, at least weekly topics. Stay tuned!
Love all your videos! Straight to the point, you don't talk about things that aren't relevant to your videos, very easy, and clear to understand. Kudos to you! Keep up the Awesome work and thank you because you have helped me not crash or destroy my Phantom 4 through your very informative videos.
Hi Bill, thank you for taking the time to make the video which I really enjoyed watching. Just un-boxed Phantom 4 and so looking forward to getting proficient at flying. The point of interest mode is really super. I'll be looking for your other vids too. Thanks again. DD.
Thanks for the killer video! Flying a point of interest shot in manual is a total pain and to see the phantom able to have this feature is a blessing so yea keep up the great work!
Great informative video! Another thing you can go as far as obstacles that might be in the way when you change your radius is select your POI...choose your altitude and radius, and then start it at a slower speed only turn the drone to fly forward facing for 1 lap and make sure you're clear of everything on the screen (be ready to press the pause button or raise altitude if necessary.) and then face the camera at your POI and let it complete the radius with confidence!
I compared this instruction with several others on the net, this is by far the most superior, I would have liked a slower delivery about exiting the program, but that's just me being an old codger.
Many thanks,very informative. I have just upgraded from a P2V+ to a P4 and looking forward to all the new possibilities,your video has given me plenty of ideas,thanks.
Awesome tutorial... bought the Phantom today, but spent the day watching tutorials, getting firmware updated, etc.. will have its maiden voyage tomorrow :-)
Subscribed...Day 2 with the Phantom 4. I've run thru the DJI Tutorials and several other videos....Nice job making this very easy to understand. I appreciate your time doing that.
Thanks. Well done! Tried on my own to figure out that mode and failed. Your instruction clears up my misunderstandings. Appreciate your attention to safety.
Bill that was great. I have just purchased my first drone so am up to my neck in all the menu stuff. I think your delivery of information is really great and you are easy to follow so well done. I will be keeping and eye out for your Lightroom series for sure. Cheers Warren
Thanks for this great video. I just bought a P4 and haven't had a chance to check out all the features over my P2. Your narration is easy to listen to and so far the best I have seen on the features. The POI will be a great help when I'm filming some music videos. Keep up the great work. I'll be watching!
Very nice tutorial. Thanks. I have the phantom 4 pro for a while and must say its still an awsome drone. Havent used this p-mode. Will try it tomorrow 👍
That was really helpful, especially that I just got my phantom this afternoon and have not yet gone out with it other than 15 minutes hovering in my front yard in the dark. Friday 1st real estate shoot over a beautiful estate and may try this out!
a really well constructed how to video, I just had to subscribe to your channel as a newbie to the world of drones and wanting to use it for my real estate business, I can see your tutorials as being invaluable, thanks again
Excellent presentation! I've been wanting to make a site video for our hospital's executive team orientation presentation ....now I feel that I can do it safely and somewhat professionally... Thank You!
Great video Bill, did not get the part where I can set the direction stick so it will always came back no matter which way is pointing. Please when you have a minute,Thank you
Great video, and thanks for sharing. I just took my new P4P+ up here in Fountain Valley, and tried to use that feature intuitively...fail. Your explanation showed me what I was doing incorrectly. Incidentally, I work with Formula One, IndyCar, and NASCAR drivers, and custom-fit them to their steering wheels. Now, all my controllers have that custom handgrip technology. Let me know if you might want to try it...you won't believe how much more secure your flying can be when YOU design the human-machine interface to your liking...thx again for the post.
Great video. Very helpful. I just got mine today, so I need to learn the basics first. But this will really help me when I start to use all the bells and whistles.
This piece of engineering is really really wonderful. Astonishing images and unusual points of view on a usual context... ;-) A powerful tool in the hands of creative people.
Thank you so much for the wonderful video... I am trying to learn all the features... I notice your screen appears different than mine... I will have to check my settings ... still in a learning phase here..... thanks again for your time.
Extremely informative! I have just recently purchased the Phantom 4, my first drone. have been using it in beginner mode and then tried it in normal mode,, had a bit of a scare! I found your video very informative, keep up the good work for beginners like me, hopefully will get better with practice!
Hi Bill, I just found you and subscribed. I was hesitant about making the purchase of the Phantom 4 however after viewing the POI video it's a go!! Thank you for posting. Chuck /Virginia

A very clear tutorial. The significance of setting the return to home altitude correctly had not sunk in until I saw this tutorial.
Glad it was helpful Martin! Thanks for watching
Mick in the U.K here, just purchased a P4 and find your videos very informative.

Thumbs up!
Thanks a lot!

So glad it was helpful for you!

The best POI tutorial so far
thanks a lot!
Thanks for showing the DJI Go screen. Very helpful in determining what to do
Fun, informative. I get to see a lot of what you can do, and then see it actually done. It's worth it.
Great informative video!

Thanks for watching! Glad you found them really helpful!
The image quality on the phantom 4 pro is so SOO good! It’s hands down my favorite dji drone and camera. Hate they stopped manufacturing it
I totally agree but fortunately they have returned the Phantom 4 Pro V2.0 on the DJI website
Nice... As a new owner and previous craft was a Phantom II this really helped
Awesome. glad it helped!
same here, I had a P2, with a Gopro, so using the app is a whole new experience
Bill, excellent tutorial video. I just got my Phantom 4 and your videos are helping me to get better at flying it. Thank you
Glad to hear it Thomas!
The best instruction I've seen on how to do this. Got me doing it right after seeing it. Thanks.
Excellent, no messing about, got to the point and great explanation
Thanks. Well done! Tried on my own to figure out that mode and failed. Your instruction clears up my misunderstandings. Appreciate your attention to safety.
I like your training technique,I just got a P4 and I’m in the proses of learning,thanks,Happy Flying!!!
Great video! New Phantom 4 owner, and I learned more with your video than an hour of searching on DJI's site. THANK YOU!!!
I have just bought my p4 pro, im a newbie, so this has been a big help. Thanks Bill. From Ceri in Wales uk.

Really informative video. I like how you describe how to do POI but also what you use it for.
Awesome, glad it was helpful!
I have just purchased my 1st drone a phantom 4 advance. Can't wait to learn how to fly. Great video. i subscribed and will be watching.
That was really helpful, especially that I just got my phantom this afternoon and have not yet gone out with it other than 15 minutes hovering in my front yard in the dark. Friday 1st real estate shoot over a beautiful estate and may try this out!
thank you for this tutorial and explaining every details! I have DJI Phantom 4 for a month now and still trying to learn everything thanks!
Good video, looking forward to trying this maneuver with Phantom.
You and me both!
Great instruction. Thanks a lot. I think that practicing manually this maneuver first will give you an appreciation of the automatic mode.
Nice that you flip from app view to drone view so I can actually see what you are doing. Really great video.
Thanks Rickie! Glad it was helpful
Very well prepared. Being new to all of this I need all the help available.
a really well constructed how to video, I just had to subscribe to your channel as a newbie to the world of drones and wanting to use it for my real estate business, I can see your tutorials as being invaluable, thanks again
This is my first drone looking forward to having a blast with it, your demo was very helpful. Will be looking forward to see more, keep them coming
Excellent presentation! I've been wanting to make a site video for our hospital's executive team orientation presentation ....now I feel that I can do it safely and somewhat professionally... Thank You!
Awesome - glad to hear it Jerry
Great video Bill, did not get the part where I can set the direction stick so it will always came back no matter which way is pointing. Please when you have a minute,Thank you
I'm so glad I found this! Been afraid to do much of anything with my P4 other than manual controls. Thanks!
Great video and summary on how to use POI. I will be trying out POI later today.
Great video Bill. I haven't tried this yet, but now I understand how to do point of interest. Thanks.
Thanks for the video. I recently bought a Phantom 4 and I found this information very helpful. I look forward to your future installments.

I liked this video mate, thumbs up. Cheers from the IGY Simpson Bay Marina, Sint Maarten in the Caribbean.
Thanks for the time to make the video. It was very helpful!
very nice, I think I will use this a lot, I'm also a photographer and look forward to some great vacation videos
Was gonna get p3 standard but after seeing ur video I've decided that I'll wait save and get the p4! Tnx to ur great video!! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
That's awesome! Congrats! Thanks for watching!
+BillNicholsTV 🛰🛰🛰👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽📸📸📸🕹🕹🕹
The best tutorial I've heard yet for point of interest flight mode. Thanks!!
Thanks for the feedback! I really appreciate it
Great video, it helped explain how this feature worked. I can already see some fun shots.
Thank you so much for the wonderful video... I am trying to learn all the features... I notice your screen appears different than mine... I will have to check my settings ... still in a learning phase here..... thanks again for your time.
Bill, if you want the camera to be taking consecutive , continuous shots should that be programmed before the POI.
Just ordered the 4. Thanks, this is very good for me to learn.
Awesome tool explained in simple, practical terms. Thank you
Glad it was helpful to you!
Extremely informative! I have just recently purchased the Phantom 4, my first drone. have been using it in beginner mode and then tried it in normal mode,, had a bit of a scare!

Very informative video..... Keep up the great videos Bill. I just got a new Phantom 4 and I'm loving it.
Thanks and congrats on your new drone!
Just got a P4 and this is so helpful! Want to shoot shots of my boat on the water.
Hi Bill,
I just found you and subscribed. I was hesitant about making the purchase of the Phantom 4 however after viewing the POI video it's a go!!
Thank you for posting.

+Chuck Beatty Glad to hear Chuck! You'll love it!
Hi Bill. Thanks for your vdo i found it very interesting and i will try it out tomorrow if the wind slows down here in Australia.
Hey thanks! Your's are some of the best Phantom 4 tutorials avail. Waving from NZ!
Concise & informative video! You made it very easy to follow & replicate. Thanks....
Awesome video! Haven't dived into this feature yet and have been trying to manually do this. This will save soo much trouble. Thanks!! :)
Awesome glad it was helpful!
Great tutorials on the DJI Phantom 4 Bill.....i'm from Brisbane Australia and have a P4.....i would like to see you do a full tutorial on how to fly the P4 indoors from what flight mode to use....do you have to compass calibrate and so on and then flying indoors to straight out to outdoors and back indoors again...cheers Art.
