Hey Tom. Your channel is super helpful. I am a first time drone owner and just bought the Phantom 4. You are making this very easy for us all as the manual is not very good. Keep up the great work.
Just a couple of days ago, ATTI mode has literally saved not only my Phantom 4, but also myself from lots of trouble. I didn't re-calibrate the compass and took off next to a huge concrete structure which probably had metal fittings in it and that metal has probably interfered with the compass readings. My phantom took off just fine, but then suddenly went into a spiral around the structure, not responding to controls properly. It would have been a definite crash if I didn't react fast enough and switched to A mode before landing the craft safely. That's why I would recommend any beginner to enable mode switching in the settings from the very start even if you don't plan to use them yet. This can save you lots of money and trouble in case you make a mistake (like I did) or something goes wrong.
I see where some people don't know how to fly a drone and that's a good reason to equip aircraft with GPS, Infrared sensors etc. If you can't or don't want to fly in ATTI mode then don't. Myself, I like longer flying time and enjoy having full control of my bird. Each to their own and I think everyone should become proficient in ATTI mode or they aren't having all the fun they can.
I am new Phantom 3 owner and have watched a number of your videos and find they are clear, well though out and convey information especially well. Keep up the great work
One more advantage of the ATTI mode: Fly first against the wind. Switch to ATTI mode. Start filming. You will get a very smooth ride, and you won't risk the propeller in the picture. I do that all the time.
I just got a refurbished phantom 3 4k and took it out for it's first test run. It flew and performed fine, and I took some video, but I didn't realize the whole time it was in "A" mode but also I should mention it was using the GPS hold regardless. Glad to watch this to realize it can overide the gps or I would have thought the drone was defective on it's first run. Maybe they changed it since 2016 to use gps in A mode now?
Learning manual VTOL in A-Mode is an essential training element if you want to become fluent in landing. VFR VTOL exercises are also great, as they can teach you to land in the case your UAV is not in visual range and you have to land or take off using FPV only.
Hi tom this is Jamshed from India , I have phantom 3,thanks u ,very use full advice ur saide I doing camera last 20 year , 2 days before my drone was fall ,because I am not seeing my remote battery r not full that's y In this canditoin what's I do
Great videos. I personally don't feel the need to ever use ATTI mode or Sport mode, but i was wandering what ATTI model was and this explained it very well. Thanks!
Excellent video as usual. Just wondering reasons why it's recommended not to catch-land the Phantom. Presumably safety reasons. But sometimes I find it safer, particularly if in strong wind gusts like I had yesterday, or where someone's pet is sitting right below ready to tear it apart when it lands.
It puts stress on the motors as they rev up and fight you and you hang on to it - it's still trying to land if it's in RTH mode, or ATTI mode it wants to drift. Even though it's only a few seconds until you kill the motor, you can hear the motors rev up and watch the screen to see them peg into the red zone at times.
When you get interference from antenas with magnetic field interference, when theses signal take over your drone, you do not have control even in ATTI mode. It will not respond.
yup catching the phantom in air is safer, my P4 was going tipsy at landing allmost broke my props but but it came back on his fit haha like a car driving on 2 whiles and the goes back, that was a stress on first flight, soo do u pull left stick down and thats it?
Hi. Nice Video - but.... my P3P has F mode A mode and P mode. There is now "sport mode" as you speak of. Is this "sport mode" on only the P4? Never heard of it. Nice and helpful video anyway.
+Geoff Warren As mentioned in the video, the P4 features the sport mode while older models do not have that opportunity. But: you can use the ATTI as an alternative for super fast flights with your P3. Stay tuned and fly safe!
Cheers Tom I gonna have to try ATTI mode (always been too nervous to try). Through your video tutorial now I feel confident and equipped mentally to do it. DJI Phantom 4 owner.
ATTI is no big deal. As stated in the video, the difference is GPS positioning so if there is wind, expect a little drift in ATTI as opposed to P-mode, and that's it. The aircraft will be no more "sensitive" or "unstable" or anything. In fact, if there is no wind you will see only a slight difference in flying characteristics: In P-mode the craft more or less "stops" as soon as you center the sticks, while in ATTI it will tend to keep going in the last direction until you make it stop. No big deal. Go for it, you will love it.
The way you explained ATTI mode makes me ask one question, if by activating ATTI mode means if there is wind it will be affected, then what is the point of it? Why not just be safe and stick to P-mode to avoid the wind doing anything crazy? I have just ordered one of these and I am pretty nervous about flying it for the first time.
Andy Kelly For shooting pictures, film and just staying overhead, P (or GPS) mode (nomenclature varies a bit with version) is the way to go. If you want to fly from A to B, reposition the drone to look at another landmark, etc, or even if you just want to fly around like any traditional RC model, then ATTI is better. Think of P (or GPS )mode as a drone with *parking brakes on*. The drone fill fight not only wind, but also your maneuvering attempts. It will do its best to stay put in one spot, and by doing so it will be up to you, the pilot, to actively get it going in any direction. Which again is fine for small and gentle photo or film shooting, but as you will see, any major flight displacement will call for massive stick movements on the transmitter - and even then, will translate to only sedate drone movement. If I had to put the difference in one sentence: *In P (or GPS) mode, the drone will feel locked in a spot and more connected to you while hovering, while in ATTI mode the drone will feel more connected to you while flying around*. Don't be afraid of ATTI. Just experiment when there is no wind, move the drone from side to side, fore and aft. You will see it still does whatever you tell it to - it just won't pull the parking brake on you in the process. :-)
corisco tupi Now I'm even more nervous lol, my goal is to simply fly it about and takes some videos, I am not planning on taking it out if it is windy and I am not using it just to fly and have fun. I just want to fly it to take some cool videos. So after what you explained I am best using it in P-mode right? I have never been so confused in my life haha :)
Andy Kelly Don't overthink it. Just get out there and fly in P-mode, you will see the drone flies itself, really. After you are comfortable flying, get some height, some 10 to 15m, put it in ATTI mode and go ahead and see how it feels. Don't go far just nudge it around and get the feel for it. If you think it is slipping away from you, just flip back to P-mode mode and it will stay put, rock-solid, waiting for the next move. Your best bet while learning to fly will be to comfortably flip the switch back to P-mode (or return to home mode) without looking for the switch on the radio. Other than that, relax. I understand you are anticipating a lot of rush but take baby steps, you will be flying in no time. Most important - don't fly over people, property or near airports. Don't replicate the crazy stuff that we see on the news and are doing bad things for the hobby and for the aerial photo business.
I have a question is, am having trouble to use the button return home from my controller. When I press the button nothing really happen, instead I have to use the button from my iPad and slide it. Any ideas on this? Thanks
Great video tom ! ive got the entry leve syma xsc-1 and on my first flight it flew away and never returned - lesson learnt the hard way Bought another model and im gonna master the controller in a open field 1st
Great video, Tom. I have a question: is there a safe way to land the drone in ATTI mode? For example, if I am shooting indoors and the drone can´t get any GPS signal, how can I land (and take off to) without the risk of crashing it?
Tom..what tablet are you using with your drone. I'm currently using a Samsung tablet that is too large. I would like to find a smaller one that is tried and true
I thought about buying a Phantom 3 Standard, as you might know nowadays you have to have insurance as well as permissions for the state you're living in... do you have those things? Or do you just take off when ever you want where ever you want?
Thank you for recommending I should not have a cup of coffee while flying. I was going to do that but now that I saw your great advice I won't. Thank you for your wisdom!!!! What would we do without it!!!
hey..nice videos....i have a phantom 4, just bought it..do you have some suggestions with tablet i can use on it...i have cheap lenova but the prossecor cant handle it..it just flicker when im recording...Gunnar
Would you recommend setting the quad to multiple flight mode every time you fly--- Therefore you have only one switch to go from P to A? It would seem if you do not fly it in Multiple flight mode and you lose GPS you would have to go to the App and then change it to multiple flight mode and then move switch to A.----This could take valuable time to get control back.
Hi tom,i recently up date my P3A to the latest FW 1.8.80 with the new app,but seems to me that IOC,waypoint ,orbiting and so on,are disappeared....i re-installed the app,re linked the RC, re installed the FW on RC but seems doesn't work..
Thks four or video is help can you please let me know I have a phantom 3 professional when I turn the drone off and remote control off the lights still on is normal thank you
Ich bin nur neugierig und möchte wissen, was es passiert sein würde. Supposedly, if a Phantom 3 Advanced happens to fly away out of a range, should I turn a remote controller off immediately in order to have it return to me? Will it work successfully? Dankeschön.
hola muy buenos tus video ,tengo una consulta haber si me puedes ayudar por favor,Mi fhantom4 ,me funciona mal los sensores de objetos, y cuando lo enciendo por primera vez lo hace en el modo A y sera por eso que estos sensores de daran error,Porque se enciende y queda en el modo A?saludos...
Hi, I want to use my GL300C controller on Liftoff simulator but i cant connect it to my pc with my USB-Micro SD cable. Do you know which cable should i use please ?
quick question, is there a way to keep the video moving and still take a still at the same time? I hate turning off the video to take a still and then turn on the video again.
Can you program one of the two switches on the back of the RC to take a picture? I could use the video start stop button to stop the video without having to mess with the screen, but it would be nice if their was an RC option for taking a photo.
+Thomas Collette The Phantom 4 already has a dedicated photo button; I believe programming one of the back buttons would do the same thing as the dedicated button. To take a still, you have to stop the video and then take the still. You can do this fairly quickly with the dedicated buttons (there's a dedicated video button too), but I think you'll end up with multiple video files each time you start and stop the video function.
Everyone needs to know how to fly in ATTI mode, it can save your Phantom from a crash if GPS goes nuts. This is why I say if you are not comfortable with learning with your Phantom, it is well worth the cost to buy a toy grade quad like an X5 or X8 and learn how to fly by the seat of your pants. Also learn how to determine orientation without having to resort to headless mode. Besides that, actually flying a non gps quad is actually a lot of fun.
That ATTI tip would have been amazing if I knew it a few months back. Forgot to put a home point, had a scare and pressed the home point button and it flew away and crashed into a tree. Definitely a good tip to know. Thanks
Catch it in your right hand, stop the motors (as usual) with left stick full down. I don't have big hands, and don't have a strap on the controller, but it's comfortable to hold it in one hand while working the stick.
Hello, I love your very informative video, you just find out about the app litchi-to-gee-phantom 3 Pro? I movie making in a floor Max 850m in altitude and I noticed my phantom 3 pro does not exceed 500m in altitude each time I go This by searching the net I came across the application-litchi but I know the dessu Thank you for your help I life in Africa is not easy to search on the web here.
TOM!! I have P3 PRO and I've realised that when I was in 4k video and shooting the landscape.... I put my sd card in my pc and clicked the video but for some reason my video was in slow motion and the frames was sh**t up!!! I ve shooted again and BOOM....same thing... I wonder if my sd card needs to be upgrated or something else in the menu needs to be optimized
Sie können Ihr Tello auch im Atti-Modus fliegen. Bedecken Sie einfach das VPS-Systemsystem mit etwas Klebeband. Nur für erfahrene Benutzer!...I cheated
Hi Tom. Thank you for your Tips and Tricks you show us in your Channel. I want to ask you can use ATTI-mode on Dji Mavic 2 Zoom? I haven't found it yet where to Switch. Would really be nice if you could help me! Thanks a lot
The Mavic series don't offer a toggle switch for Atti mode (P and S only.) The Mavic will, however, switch to Atti mode if GPS signal is lost in low light - which cancels both P-GPS and P-Opti.
@@tradewindaerialimagingllc2962 Thank you so much for your reply! So is there any other possibility to practice flying the drone as if there"s no GPS-signal? That would be very helpful.
Unfortunately, @@shb6910 , not with the Mavic series. Your best bet is to buy one of the small inexpensive drones with prop guards & no GPS (i.e., Atti mode only) and fly it as often as possible. Initially, fly it only with the nose pointed away from you (to avoid the confusion that comes with control reversal) and work on mastering Hover in place. Once you've mastered Hover, move on to Squares using Pitch & Roll (right stick) only. Then move to Square 8s (Squares in opposite directions that share one side in common.) Next add Orbits around yourself with the nose pointed outward (using Roll, or right side stick, to create the Orbit and Yaw/left side stick to keep the nose continuously pointed away from you. Pitch is used to maintain a constant radius in the Orbit circle.) When you've mastered all that, and only then, you can give flying the drone pointed toward you a try (flying indoors or within a fenced area to avoid flyaways.) This is where the prop guards will be invaluable as confusion of control reversal (resulting in crashes or flyaways) is almost inevitable - at first. Master all this (and practice at regular intervals to maintain proficiency) and you'll never be concerned with possible loss of GPS. Hope that helps.
@@tradewindaerialimagingllc2962 Oh thank you so much! I have searched for some tips and instructions how to learn flying a drone and couldn't find anything helpful. I am really happy about your detailed instructions! Thanks a lot for helping me!
which app is the best for surveying, video please guides and instructing me how can I Drone Survey very goodly. step by step video and writing instruction. phantom 4 Drone. please sir as soon as fast me.
Hello. In this video, your antennas are not in the optimal position as noted in the dji manual. Is this because you are doing a close range flight and so the angle of the antennas are negligible? (I just got my phantom 3 advanced a few days ago, so I'm still learning)
usually when it's close it makes no difference. I've flew mine for a whole battery before and realised i only put one of the antennas out... Best thing to do is get a pre-flight checklist and go through it every time, even when just changing the battery...
tom what are the two antennas for on the p3 advanced, obviously one is for rc signal. Is the other one for that too? I thought it was rc diversity and the rc controller had a patch antenna for light bridge. Ive looked but cant find any info on this.
My Phantom 3 Professional went into ATTI-mode twice on its own (controller remained in P-GPS) and both times it went into an uncontrollable operation and crashed both times. I've since RMA'D my quad and received a refurbished unit that works better.
Great work. The transitions being stretched out helps you stretch out watch time without being so annoying that people leave. Hard to find someone who balances engagement well
Hi tom... I have phantom 4 and I am using with trun off distance limit. I want to fly far away upto 4 to 5 km but 😢 I can't go over 950 meters. battery timing also 20 to 22 mint. when I go over 950 meters controller shows weak signals and than no signal so return to home back. I am very desperate to brought phantom 4. please suggest me what should I do now. thanks Salman Razi
hi. got a phantom 4 pro +. in visual navigation settings, my display radar map box button is grey and not green. I cant slide the button, so it can be green. Why ?
Hello 3 months ago I bought a phantom 4 but I have a problem with the remote tribute loaded brand new but it is not working I have used no more than 4-5pati ask for help (never fallen thanks for help
Tom, I am use DJI P4+ and am not able to fly above 30 meters high and beyond 100 meters in normal flight mode. I am not in beginners mode and the max flight altitude is set to 300 meters. Any idea what am I doing wrong?
Very new at this . I have a Phantom 4 and I watch your videos very helpful! How do you put your antenna,s out? Are they flat or up like rabbit ears? Do something on that> Thanks Art V

Hi tom this is Jamshed from India , I have phantom 3,thanks u ,very use full advice ur saide
I doing camera last 20 year ,
2 days before my drone was fall ,because I am not seeing my remote battery r not full that's y
In this canditoin what's I do
Good information. But what does the other switch do ??
Great videos dude ...What exactly is the difference between ATT mode and our speed mode
Hey Tom. I am thankful to you. I am from india and i often watch your videos for drone help. thank you so much.
Great videos. I personally don't feel the need to ever use ATTI mode or Sport mode, but i was wandering what ATTI model was and this explained it very well. Thanks!
Random question, how did you turn off the motors only using one stick after you caught it?
Hold elevation down for like 3 seconds
hold it at an angle like you normally do with both sticks or just straight down?
Excellent video as usual. Just wondering reasons why it's recommended not to catch-land the Phantom. Presumably safety reasons. But sometimes I find it safer, particularly if in strong wind gusts like I had yesterday, or where someone's pet is sitting right below ready to tear it apart when it lands.

One of the best video on TH-cam.
I’m flying again after a 2 yr hiatus. Thank you for your video. Subscriber now.
is this mode on the standard or just the professional models?
Great Video and do you need an IPad with gps, or is it only for Display?
No, you can use any apple device without gps and use it like a good display. The only way you need gps is for the follow me mode
Okay, thank you very much. That was very helpful!
Thanks Tom for these explanations
Thanks for your support
Tom..what tablet are you using with your drone. I'm currently using a Samsung tablet that is too large. I would like to find a smaller one that is tried and true
I thought about buying a Phantom 3 Standard, as you might know nowadays you have to have insurance as well as permissions for the state you're living in... do you have those things? Or do you just take off when ever you want where ever you want?
Ps: I live in germany
Thanks Tom, I'll give it a try tomorrow. Been flying for 2 years so understand :).
Thanks for another great video Tom
Tom, your videos are teaching me so much and they are entertaining at the same time. Keep up the awesome work!

Everyone needs to know how to fly in ATTI mode, it can save your Phantom from a crash if GPS goes nuts. This is why I say if you are not comfortable with learning with your Phantom, it is well worth the cost to buy a toy grade quad like an X5 or X8 and learn how to fly by the seat of your pants. Also learn how to determine orientation without having to resort to headless mode. Besides that, actually flying a non gps quad is actually a lot of fun.
That ATTI tip would have been amazing if I knew it a few months back. Forgot to put a home point, had a scare and pressed the home point button and it flew away and crashed into a tree. Definitely a good tip to know. Thanks
What did you push, to make it off with one finger?
Tom, I know catching by hand is not recommended, but how do you stop the rotors when one hand is on the copter?
Catch it in your right hand, stop the motors (as usual) with left stick full down. I don't have big hands, and don't have a strap on the controller, but it's comfortable to hold it in one hand while working the stick.
Hey, what is the uas badge that you have attached to your neck strap?
Thanks for your videos. Do you know how to disable the auto mode in image transmission? Thanks :)
Hello,
I love your very informative video,
you just find out about the app litchi-to-gee-phantom 3 Pro?
I movie making in a floor Max 850m in altitude and I noticed my phantom 3 pro does not exceed 500m in altitude each time I go
This by searching the net I came across the application-litchi but I know the dessu
Thank you for your help I life in Africa is not easy to search on the web here.
What happens if I go to a location where theres no GPS signal (on my phone), will I still be able to use RTH in P mode?
TOM!! I have P3 PRO and I've realised that when I was in 4k video and shooting the landscape.... I put my sd card in my pc and clicked the video but for some reason my video was in slow motion and the frames was sh**t up!!! I ve shooted again and BOOM....same thing... I wonder if my sd card needs to be upgrated or something else in the menu needs to be optimized
Yeah!! You 're so right...I ' ve realized this problem before 1 month!!! Thanks for your reply!!!
Thank you for your many wonderful videos.
AND for speaking in English!! (I don't speak German.)
You're welcome, Ken! Thanks for the feedback!
lol you kill me ken
Sie können Ihr Tello auch im Atti-Modus fliegen. Bedecken Sie einfach das VPS-Systemsystem mit etwas Klebeband. Nur für erfahrene Benutzer!...I cheated
Hi Tom. Thank you for your Tips and Tricks you show us in your Channel. I want to ask you can use ATTI-mode on Dji Mavic 2 Zoom? I haven't found it yet where to Switch. Would really be nice if you could help me! Thanks a lot
The Mavic series don't offer a toggle switch for Atti mode (P and S only.) The Mavic will, however, switch to Atti mode if GPS signal is lost in low light - which cancels both P-GPS and P-Opti.
@@tradewindaerialimagingllc2962 Thank you so much for your reply! So is there any other possibility to practice flying the drone as if there"s no GPS-signal? That would be very helpful.
Unfortunately, @@shb6910 , not with the Mavic series. Your best bet is to buy one of the small inexpensive drones with prop guards & no GPS (i.e., Atti mode only) and fly it as often as possible. Initially, fly it only with the nose pointed away from you (to avoid the confusion that comes with control reversal) and work on mastering Hover in place. Once you've mastered Hover, move on to Squares using Pitch & Roll (right stick) only. Then move to Square 8s (Squares in opposite directions that share one side in common.) Next add Orbits around yourself with the nose pointed outward (using Roll, or right side stick, to create the Orbit and Yaw/left side stick to keep the nose continuously pointed away from you. Pitch is used to maintain a constant radius in the Orbit circle.)
When you've mastered all that, and only then, you can give flying the drone pointed toward you a try (flying indoors or within a fenced area to avoid flyaways.) This is where the prop guards will be invaluable as confusion of control reversal (resulting in crashes or flyaways) is almost inevitable - at first.
Master all this (and practice at regular intervals to maintain proficiency) and you'll never be concerned with possible loss of GPS.
Hope that helps.
@@tradewindaerialimagingllc2962 Oh thank you so much! I have searched for some tips and instructions how to learn flying a drone and couldn't find anything helpful. I am really happy about your detailed instructions! Thanks a lot for helping me!
Thanks Tom for assembling these very informative DJI Phantom tutorials....
which app is the best for surveying, video please guides and instructing me how can I Drone Survey very goodly. step by step video and writing instruction. phantom 4 Drone.
please sir as soon as fast me.
Hello. In this video, your antennas are not in the optimal position as noted in the dji manual. Is this because you are doing a close range flight and so the angle of the antennas are negligible? (I just got my phantom 3 advanced a few days ago, so I'm still learning)
usually when it's close it makes no difference. I've flew mine for a whole battery before and realised i only put one of the antennas out... Best thing to do is get a pre-flight checklist and go through it every time, even when just changing the battery...
One question, do you need data on your iPad to have first person view on your drone?
No, it uses Wi-Fi or another radio band to send the video. Cellular data isn't used.
tom what are the two antennas for on the p3 advanced, obviously one is for rc signal. Is the other one for that too? I thought it was rc diversity and the rc controller had a patch antenna for light bridge. Ive looked but cant find any info on this.
So how do you change to ATTI in Mavic Pro? Looking at the title and the description of your video this is easily done, but no instructions for Mavic.
Plz! Could u tell me what cam u use to record ur tuts plz?
is there 2 different controllers for the phantom 3 standard and will a ipad mini 2 fit in the device holder
Which iPad does he use because the iPad mini 1 is way to slow.
Awesome video cheers for that. Helped to make it all a lot clearer
bom dia tudo bem ...meu sonho e comprar um Phantom 4 ..mas aqui no Brasil esta caro qual e o preço ai
My Phantom 3 Professional went into ATTI-mode twice on its own (controller remained in P-GPS) and both times it went into an uncontrollable operation and crashed both times.
I've since RMA'D my quad and received a refurbished unit that works better.
Amigo que tablet usas para tu Phantom 4 ? Gracias
Can You Use a DIFFERENT controller for the 3? By that I mean can I use the controller from the 4 with a Phantom 3?
Great work.
The transitions being stretched out helps you stretch out watch time without being so annoying that people leave. Hard to find someone who balances engagement well
Very helpful and easy to get!
Hi tom...
I have phantom 4 and I am using with trun off distance limit. I want to fly far away upto 4 to 5 km but 😢 I can't go over 950 meters. battery timing also 20 to 22 mint.
when I go over 950 meters controller shows weak signals and than no signal so return to home back.
I am very desperate to brought phantom 4.
please suggest me what should I do now.
thanks

love your videos Tom keep up the good work.
Hi! what camera did you used to shoot this video_?
hi.
got a phantom 4 pro +. in visual navigation settings, my display radar map box button is grey and not green. I cant slide the button, so it can be green. Why ?
Hello 3 months ago I bought a phantom 4 but I have a problem with the remote tribute loaded brand new but it is not working I have used no more than 4-5pati ask for help (never fallen thanks for help
Which camera you use for filming?
hello tom,does we need to calibrate the compass while start to fly with ATTI mode?
Tom, I am use DJI P4+ and am not able to fly above 30 meters high and beyond 100 meters in normal flight mode. I am not in beginners mode and the max flight altitude is set to 300 meters. Any idea what am I doing wrong?
If I knew more about the P and ATTI mode in the beginning, I could of saved my first drone crash :'(
6:02 "Starts. Following. The Windpath" *shakes head* 😂
Great video! Thanks
Very new at this . I have a Phantom 4 and I watch your videos very helpful! How do you put your antenna,s out? Are they flat or up like rabbit ears? Do something on that> Thanks Art V
Thanks Tom, very informative and entertaining
Do you know if switching into ATTI mode will stop a "RTH" command that is initiated by "Smart Return Home?"
Can you use a Phantom 3 Pro with the googles ?
Would a Phantom 4 Pro be a good first drone?
