I'm still only slightly above a beginner myself for my phantom 3 standard. So if you see something incorrect here or a better way to explain to a novice how to use their phantom or do a specific procedure here then please leave a comment! I'm always happy to improve a resource and want it to be as accurate as possible. This video isn't meant to be exhaustive, but instead a good starting point for getting your drone in the air, getting hooked with it and then learning all the extra features, upgrades possible, etc. Many thanks to DJI for such a great product and all the wonderful people online for providing some of the material I used to make this video.
Lastly, two quick questions I get asked a lot and their answers:
1) What are the S1 and S2 switches for that I mention in the video? I didn't discuss them in detail in the video but they can serve several functions for each of them. The user manual I link above gives full details in the remote control section starting on page 23, but here is a quick synopsis...
The S1 switch :
*Allows you to regain control of your drone during the failsafe return to home process. I consider this the most important function of the S1 switch.
*Can allow you to calibrate the aircraft's compass, but you can do this through the DJI app too.
*Changes your flight modes (P-Mode, A-Mode or F-Mode) but you can do that through the DJI app as well.
The S2 switch:
*Can initiate a smart return to home process. I consider this the most important function of the S2 switch.
*Can be used in conjunction with the Gimbal dial to link the remote with the aircraft.
*Can be used to reset the WiFi password.
*Can be used to Reset the WiFi Video Downlink.
2) What is the maximum distance for the DJI phantom 3 standard? This is also covered in the manual I linked above on page 21. It states the remote controller is capable of transmitting signals to the aircraft at up to 0.62 miles (1km). They say "up to" because your transmission range can be affected by various things like objects, power lines which cause interfering signals, etc. If you go out of signal range your drone should automatically sense this and initiate a return to home procedure. You should know how to activate it using the switches in case it doesn't work. In fact, you should read the whole user manual to know your drone thoroughly. For example, there are potential risks with an automatic return to home procedure that you should be aware of. This video is an overview that covers a lot about the P3S but is not completely comprehensive. It is an aid for initial flight, not an exhaustive resource for complete details.
Also, one more note: If you can't get anywhere close to the maximum range for your drone then you may have to re-link your controller with the drone, update your firmware, move to another location with less interference or there's always the possibility that your drone has a manufacturing issue. I cover the RC link procedure and how to do a manual firmware change in another video here - • DJI Phantom 3 Standard... - บันเทิง
How could someone down thumb this video? This is one of the most informative videos i have ever seen. Good job bro you have helped thousands including myself.
me too I learn from this video. I still use this as instructions :D
I agree with this. Any one down thumb is a stupid ass punked bitch ..
I just ordered my Phantom 3 Standard and have been looking for a video like this. I'll probably watch this video 2 or 3 times just to be thorough. Thank you for taking the time to make this excellent video.
I'm happy to help and hope this gets you up and running quickly :)
yes..... so far this is the best tutorial ever !!!!!
Thanks! I'm glad others find it useful :)

as a 70 year old male first timer this was just what I needed. I went through numerous other tutorials but yours was the best at going over what I needed to lean how to set up and fly... thanks a bunch
This is bar none! The Very, Very, Best Video of the “Exact” procedures you go thru from beginning to end of the DJI Phantom 3 Standard Drone setup, nothing...”I repeat” nothing else is needed or comes close to this instructional video, and it doesn’t get boring...
I would like to Thank this gentleman for taking the time out of his day to put this out here, it’s perfect! I’ve watched this probably 3X’s and if I forget something...this is the video I Return to, to help clarify things I may have missed or forgotten.
Respectfully,

Jeffery Mercer Thank you very much for your kind comments Jeff :)
I absolutely love and appreciate how detailed and step-by-step you make this, never assuming we know something already. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video!
This was an EXTREMELY understandable video and learned more on your teachings than the dozen others I watched. I am a first time drone owner and have been scared to death to even try my Phantom 3 Standard. You gave me a lot of confidence watching you. Thank you
This is by Far the most comprehensive video I've seen on the internet. Although some of the glare and reflection's are somewhat Poor at times, YOU DID GOOD
Thanks a MILLION!!
Great video! Ignore the idiots that want to simply make comments about where you are looking to read. Mine will be here tomorrow. I have spent hours reading and looking at various videos. I had pretty much mentally put them all together and knew what to do. I stumbled across yours and actually watched 90% of it, ignoring small stuff like connecting the phone or getting the app. I think it is an excellent video and appreciate your effort.
bigpapam109 Thanks for the kind comments. As for the standard emo teen troll mentality, I'm good at ignoring it. Some people have nothing to be happy with in their life and just want to being others down. I'm glad you found the video useful. That's the whole reason I put it up :)
This is a very nice video for the beginner. I would like to mention a few things that might also help.
1. The app has a beginner mode which limits altitude and distance from the point of take off to about 100 feet. Its found under settings. This feature is set to default when you power the system for the first time. Verify this and leave it on until you're comfortable with basic navigation.
2. On the transmitter/remote. The toggle switch on the left is a emergency return to home. To engage toggle back-and-forth twice. This comes in handy should your phone or tablet loses Wi-Fi signal or other like error with your viewing device.
both of my feet are smaller than a foot.
some very good points well said.....
I got one this drone,I thought I could take wherever I want but I was wrong,wifi problem
What does the right switch do?

Thank you. This is a superb and detailed guide to get anyone to set up and fly the DJI 3 Standard. Gives the first time flyer complete confidence. Excellent!
Just got my Phantom 3, and really grateful for your time in putting this tutorial together. I also had a communication failure with a firmware update, of which one of your other videos helped to resolve that issue. Hopefully, I can get to more flying soon. Many thanks!
This is by far the best tutorial on TH-cam for DJI phantom. I've watched it three times.
DJI should pay you for this video. very helpful!
Yes, but thanks to those people, we know how to use our technology which may have otherwise ended up in the bin. I have been helped by you tubers on quite a few occasions, usually with cheap stuff from China with instructions in Chinglish. Big companies like DJI should do better though
By far, the BEST startup video! Thank you!
What I liked best about your video, was that you talked about what was most important to get the drone's controls explained and how to get it off the ground.. PEOPLE! Spend 35 min and watch this video first!! (Dont bother with DJI tutorials!) :)
This is the most complete video for beginners. Great job with being in order of the steps to fly your dji drone. Thank u your the man !
Great job! I'm a little gun-shy about flying my phantom for the first time, as my previous drone (Bebop) was horrible to fly. This video gives me more confidence to take my new Phantom standard out for its first flight. Thank you!
Thank you so much me and Me and my brother have been trying to get my drone started for 3 days. My dad found this video and it really helped me out! Thank you so much!
This is exactly what I needed. I'm getting one in one week. Thank you for the time and energy you put into this video.
Just bought one to survey some chimney stacks on an old Manor house, your tutorial got me up and running in no time, BIG THANKS.
my phantom 3 is on its way . ive watched your video once im sure ill watch it a couple more times !!! thanks from wyoming
Great Job on the Video!I am a little older than maybe most of the people that fly drones and I needed the detail you offered. You answered a lot of the questions I had on this drone.I Appreciate you taking the time to go into the detail you did! A lot of the other videos, like you said assumed we knew might have knew more that we did.Again Great Job!
I loved the step by step tutorial. You have taught me much. Thank you.
I've been so frustrated with the DJI tutorials and instructions. Thank you so much for posting this video!
The most thorough video I have seen yet. Ready to fly my new DJI Phantom 3 Standard for the first time...
I agree with everyone. Excellent video! I'm getting my drone ready for tomorrow's flight! Thanks
Excellent video. Just bought one and have not flown it yet. Thanks.
Very well made video with easy to follow instructions for use with the Phantom (3) standard. Thank you. You've made it easier to learn for beginners like me. Kudos.
Can't thank you enough for all the time you have taken to show all the beginners all of this info.
I learned a lot from watching your video. Thanks so much, Very helpful!!
Thank you so much mate. this video was perfect, there should be a link to your vid on the box saying watch this. well done on taking the time to help us all out.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am so intimidated with this device that I bought a $59 drone to practice with inside. Your video is the best I have seen period. You have given me confidence to move forward. I plan to watch this video over and over to know what I am doing.. Thanks again.
I've watched this video about 4 or 5 times now and finally had my first flight with a p3 standard, I was surprised how good it flew. Thanks to this video I knew the basics of getting the drone ready for flight and then flying. I've watched a lot of unboxing videos and none have been this clear to understand. Thank you
flron71 Thank you very much for the kind comments. I rushed this video for my dad but I'm happy it has helped so many people :)
thanks, this really helped me understand the drone (we were having lots of issues)
That was the best video on this subject, thank you very much.
Thanks for taking the time to share your information. I'm just getting started with the Standard as well. It is complicated at first look but now I have the confidence to enjoy my new drone.
Your attention to detail is appreciated!
Easily one of the best tutorial videos I’ve ever seen on any subject. Many thanks for this.
Great tutorial very useful helped me learn every thing about it absolutely a great tutorial... 10/10
Amazing video brother Merry Christmas 🎄 That was so informative ✅
I just got my Phantom yesterday and I've been studying it so much and I must say this is the best and only video ill recommend to those first starting out. Very detailed and all. I also want to add as a tip for everyone, whatever you do, DO NOT pull your controller buttons inwards while in the sky. I have to keep reminding myself of that since sometimes I have a habit of panicking and using the wrong controls. I practiced with a cheaper drone and then upgraded to the Phantom.
Fantastic Job , words cant describe what you have done for us first timers, Thank you.
Well done...
Straight away great information.....
Thanks
Tim
That video was great learned so much thank you
Just got my hands on a DJI Phantom 3, this guy saved my life👊🏻
I have to say you are the best drone TH-camr on TH-cam you really deserve more subscribers I recently got a drone and I hate instructions so u watched loads of videos and none helped but then I watched yours and it told me everything I needed to know and it really helped.2 days later I had another problem with the aircraft and I looked in the instructions and it didn't help and then I looked on TH-cam and no videos helped and then I remembered your channel and then I looked up the problem on your channel and bam I found the video and it really helped so I just wanted to say thanks for that✌🏻️😀
cillian meehan I'm glad to have helped. This video was amateurish and rushed at best but I covered a lot of ground. It doesn't tackle -everything- but it covers a lot of good starter info. I'm glad you are enjoying your drone :)
Thank you this was very helpful!!!
Thank you, the video was a great help!
(applauds) Well done. I've been flying my standard for about 2 months now and just stopped by to check out your video. Good explanations and great coverage on the software for beginners. Keep up the good work and happy flying!
Best video tutorial on phantom 3 so far.
Got it last year , flew once and lost GPS connection while flying over a waterfall in Iceland, was scary experience, after that I decided to learn to fly properly and found great info here. Thanks
Thanks this video helped me on me and my dads drone

Hi, Ive just purchased the Phantom 3 Standard and its being delivered Monday. So, in the meantime I thought I'd get all gen'd up on it. Been trawling YT for the right info, and I found it right here. Thank you very much for taking time to produce a very informative video. I've learned so much by watching it, but will watch it again and again. Looks a lovely piece of technology.
Thanks again
Peter
Well done! a very helpful video for any who has just purchased a DJI 3 Drone. Saves hours of searching different sites and books. easy to understand. Thank you.
Thanks so Much !!!!!! VERY INFORMATIVE :)
Very helpful! Thank you!
FANTASTIC! thank you so much for your help. We got my son a used Phantom 3 Standard and had no idea what to do. Couldn't have set it up without you!! THANKS AGAIN!
Just got the Phantom 3 Standard delivered yesterday. Can't wait to fly this machine. Thanks for the video.
Great video 👍🏼
Great video thanks for making! I'm getting mine tomorrow!

Got mine for 450 on amazon not on black friday. If you want it for that you're going to need to order it online then pick it up at the store. it will sell out quick!
HeliosBeatss yeah i figured that out
Thank you for this video. I bought my Phantom 3 Standard a few days ago and took it for a first flight this morning. Well, explained!
Most informative video I have seen so far for this drone, great job, Just got one for Christmas and now feel I am ready for take off
Nice video was alot help
good video, better than that shmuck Ty on the dji website videos. Much more detailed info
thanks
Very informative. I have had my 3 Standard for 3 weeks and have have flown it 5 times. I viewed this prior to my first flight as a buddy had bought the SE model a few weeks prior and I wanted to get an idea of its operation as he invited me to assist in helping him fly his.
I felt like this gave me lots of info and when my turn at the controls came, I was able to get it up and flying. He crashed his into a tree twice over his first four flights, the first hitting a branch and falling with no damage. The second time happened the same time I took the maiden flight with my own Standard and his drone is still in the top of the tree 3 weeks later in a County Park. He bought another one. I learned quickly to not just rely on my judgement of the position of the aircraft to hazards by sight but use the camera as well to be sure it cleared hazards. I love flying mine and am getting better at smooth controlling my drone.
I am watching this again and have learned new things, especially about the app, that didn't mean much the first time. So, before the next flight, I will be revisiting the app to make settings adjustment as needed and as I am flying. Thanks for your detailed presentation as it definitely helps me feel more confident.

This was a brilliant, informative, easy-to-follow guide for the Phantom III Standard. Thanks so much for uploading. Invaluable Guide!
Very professional. Try to look at the camera lens though. This video is great for the beginner. Thanks because I will be purchasing mine within the next month.
Dennison DeNatalie wait for Black Friday
399 at target!
Tcho2100 I know I am so excited
Tcho2100 I'm getting mine at target on Friday as well
Dennison DeNatalie got mine yesterday and i am loving it, the thing is so stable in flight its amazing
IM GETTING ONE SOON TOO CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL
When calibrating the compass it actually tells you to put it "face down" vertical when doing the second part
I am about to buy a Phantom 3 Standard. This will be my first ever drone. THANK YOU for making this video, it is going to help me so much.
Thank you for your generosity and patience to have shown us all these settings !
Very helpful thank you. Are you in the Bay Area (SF)? That area looks very familiar!!
pls make a video on s1 and s2 switch, how to use it actually while on flight.... also how to get a map on gps...pls provide us sir...thanks
also how to reset RTH everytime you change your location to takeoff
I haven't flown my Phantom 3 Standard in about 3 years. This video reminded me of all the things that need to be done. I'll give it a try!! Thanks for the video.
I haven’t flown my phantom 3 for nearly two years so this video has been really helpful! Thank you very much!!
I just realize in the beginning you were reading a script. Here a tip to make it look more professional place the script either above or below the camera if you want to get fancy you can have an extra monitor slowly scrolling.
agreed
I've read that comment from some folks here before. I made this in a rush all in one afternoon for my dad. I just quickly set up an outline and had certain sections to read. I was looking more for functionality than aesthetics, but since several people have mentioned it I will see what I can do for next time. This video is certainly not the pinnacle of my editing. There's sections I would love to redo, but I am lazy :)

Dude, don't sweat it. Excellent tutorial to the DJI Standard, thank you!!
Where is he looking at at the start?
does it matter,
it does.. begs the questions.
again does it matter why, just listen to him.
Sammy Evans it's just an observation ... it's what happens when you post a video on a public platform ...you're gonna get people commenting on things that stick out, for no reason other than there's a keyboard in front t of us. Let's get used to it
Generikid he's probably reading a script
This guy literally should work for DJI, what an amazing informative video.
Because of your video I had my first flight applied everything you said and it worked ,I want to thank you again for videos like this it was very helpful and I had a lot of fun,I think anybody who wants to learn how to fly should view this video very close and you will have success.
if you are landing the drone standardly how do you turn propellers off after?
Kamlyn Cooper right above the home button it's the spot where you take off it says land once you have the drone on the ground
Kamlyn Cooper I shown it at the very end of this video and also show the shutdown graphics directly from the user manual earlier in this video. When in doubt you can also read the user manual which I link in this video's description
tripecollie I was trying to manual land in the other day and once it started it geeked out and started leaning to one side scared the poo out of me
Tommy Plata haha, I had that issue a lot at first too. RTH avoids that issue. What I do is bring it back in close to the start point so it's right in front of me and then initiate the RTH so I can avoid that issue
tripecollie Oh man you have no idea haha I havnt calibrated it once so when I do return to home it starts to fly else were haha for some reason my gps isn't really that consistent s7 active, plus poor signal bounces constantly. imma have to rematch your video again and hope to learn more
are you talking to another person?
Melissa and Alex I made the video quickly for my dad. I'm reading an outline/script I roughed out real quick. While I could record the video again I think it is unnecessary since people can get the information needed from this video.
It was very helpful video either way Thanks spending the time and making it
Melissa and Alex's Family lmao
It’s called reading the instructions
Always one dicked comment. Ignore it. Good start up video cheers
A friend gave me his drone and a link to the instruction manual. I found the manual a bit disjointed, but now after watching this video, I use the manual now as reference. Good video thanks.
Thanks. Well done tutorial. Appreciate the time you took to introduce newbies to the Phantom 3 standard.
You skipped the "easy firmware update" on the video.
Nathan Marshall firmware through the app software is straightforward. I cover manual firmware upgrading/downgrading in another video I link in the one's description
It is, I was looking for it when you addressed it early in the video, I just needed patience :). Great video! I am going to go fly!!! I willl look for more of your vids. See if I can find out what these switches on the remote do.
Nathan Marshall I also mention in this video's text description above what the switches do and what pages of the manual to refer to if needed. I even link to the manual.
Perfect, Thanks for your patience. Found the "More" button on the description!
I have a Phantom 3 Standard, it has been sitting for years and i totally forgot the operating procedures, this was a big help. Thanks!
I also ordered my DJI Phantom 3 Standard, and watched the video a few times as reference.
Thanks.
Just what I was looking for, a basic introduction for a complete newbie. It all makes so much more sense now. Thank you.
ME TOO
OUTSTANDING video. Thanks so much for the clear and very thorough introduction.
An amazingly thorough yet simple video for us beginners! I cannot wait to go and get my drone. Will probably watch this video again and again before it is here and when it is 👍🏻
Thank you so much for creating this video!
Very, very good stuff. I really appreciate the info, especially how it doesn't take anything for granted but explains every simple detail. This is the best I've seen for the absolute newbie (myself). When you're about to send $500 up in the air for the first time it helps to see the whole process with nothing being assumed. Thanks for the great video!
Thanks for the video. I just got my drone today for Christmas and your beginner video is perfect. It was windy today here so I only used the "beginners " mode for a couple of short flights in the backyard.
Thumbs up for this video. I don't the the chance to fly my drone much and this is my "Go To" when I need a refresher. This was the video I watched to help me when I first got my drone.
Thank you!!
Thanks for your efforts in posting this tutorial. I'm waiting for delivery of my Phantom 3 Standard and this was very helpful.
Great Vid! I just inherited a hand-me-down Phantom 3 standard when my son upgraded, and am in the process of learning how to fly. This vid was exactly what I needed! Thanks!
Great video for us new beginners. I saved this video as I'm getting my Phantom 3 Standard in a few days. I'll absolutely watch this more than a few times. Thank you for the info!
This video made my set up a lot easier, thanks for an easy guide that I can (and have) looked back through several times during the process
I just bought my Phantom 3 Standard yesterday.. This video will surely help. Thanks!
Thank you for taking the time and effort to make this video! I learned so much about the Phantom and about drones in general.
Got a drone for work and it didn't have the instructions. this video provided everything I needed! super detailed and informative. thanks dude!
It's been awhile since I've flown mine. I appreciate your tutorial.
I have a new DJI Phantom 3 and this video was great for helping me prepare for first flight. Thank you!
Thanks for this vid. My P3 Std. will be arriving today as my beginner drone. The time you spent detailing the important stuff is greatly appreciated! I will want more flying range later of course but getting the basics here will be very valuable. 👍
Thank you for taking the time to take people from the unknown to the known. This video was a great help. Ive had other drones and was looking to purchase one. This video helped in my decision making. I'll be watching , thanks again . Dr. Don
