The Course Lock mode makes it really easy to get tracking / flyby shots while you stay focus on a subject / area! Watch this video for a quick how to and some great tips and examples
The Course Lock mode on the Phantom 4 is one of my favorite modes to use. It is a really great mode that enables you to get flyby shots while remaining focused on a particular area. In this mode the Phantom keeps a preset heading that you configure as being forward and then while in the mode that will always be forward regardless of the direction that the Phantom 4 is pointed. This helps you with just having to concentrate on the direction the camera is pointed and the speed of the Phantom and keeps you from having to constantly manipulate the path that the Phantom 4 travels in.

[@Titus10thAD]

I'm new to all this flying. I have just purchase the DJI phantom 4 and can't wait to get in to an open space to fly my own with all the confidents you have given me. A great and very well explained video, the best I have scene.
Many thanks, Tiron.

[@BillNicholsTV]

Thats awesome Tommy! Great thing to share with your son - happy new year!

[@ralls41]

Bill, as the proud new owner of a P4, I find your videos incredibly informative and helpful and much superior to many of the "tutorials" out there that are high on production value and highly technical.

[@josephholder5472]

Hi Bill, I live in Western Australia and only recently bought my first drone, a Phantom 4 Pro V2.0. We do a lot of travelling in a caravan and visit some awesome places around our great land. I intend to get some nice shots and video as we travel and have found your tutorials really helpful and will continue to keep abreast of what you are doing. Great job, Mate, Cheers

[@droneaddict9649]

I agree a very useful mode thank you.

[@nejack1]

[@javiermaturanascopes3355]

Also, when you fly it far away and you loose the sense of direction, it´s a good way to bring it back home. Thank´s for the video.

[@premrajendran7383]

Great info as always, Bill. There have been several dolly type shots I've wanted to do so this will be a great tool along with POI. Happy flying.

[@BillMcFadden]

[@BillNicholsTV]

+LGLightGuide Thanks!

[@ullisses]

Just wanted to say you have a new follower. I will surely ask some questions. Congrats for the video and than you for sharing.

[@peterlewis8787]

Great video for a novice user. Thanks for sharing. I crashed my Phantom on the first flight, should have watched these videos before.

[@artglass11]

First time watching and definitely subscribing very well done easy to understand 😎✌️️

[@jessparker7794]

enjoy your videos on the phantom 4. could you show more of the dji app when you are in different modes. seeing the app and being able to back up the video to make sure i understand what you are doing in the app helps me learn the app better. It may be very basic to others but I want to learn correctly. I am showing my grandchildren how to properly fly the drone and seeing the app on the screen is a big help.

[@antunes2035]

Excellent, I like this video

[@joecat101]

I have watched many video reviews on the P 4 and also the x star premium, I was kinda tore between which I wanted the most. It wasn't till I saw what you have to do to update the x star that I decided the P 4 is a much better choice. I can say without a doubt your videos are by far the best videos going. Most informative and no BS. Thanks.

[@BillNicholsTV]

You have to update the P4 just as well - both companies release updates on a regular basis - thanks for watching!

[@joecat101]

I understand both have updates but on the x star you have to take the memory card out of the drone and put it in your computer to download updates than put it back in the drone to update the drone than if you have more than one battery you have to take the card back out, put it back in your computer and rename the downloaded update file than put it back in the drone to update each battery. The P 4 is infinitely easier, that's what I meant . Also I don't think the x star has anything like course lock intelligent flight mode.

[@stephenhillyard8407]

X star premium does have IOC, course lock. It is real easy to use. There is a switch on the side of the controller that you set after you have the direction of flight you want to go. You don't have to do it in the app.

[@bakerbay]

Hey Bill, these videos are very helpful. Think I will head up to the nearby church parking lot and try out some course lock.

[@ThaBlackCobra]

Nice job. I did a video series on the intelligent flight modes for the P3 Standard but I didn't do one on course lock. I may just add one more video to the series now.

[@nomadcurate]

Great video again!

[@MrKurtn]
