To any beginners out there, the phantom's don't usually drift as much as it does on this video, the drone is drifting so much because he intended it that way, he initialized the drone on uneven ground to demonstrate drift on Altitude mode, the road is tilted forwards & to the right, so in Altitude mode the drone drifted forwards & to the right, always make sure you switch on your drone on even ground, not doing so will cause the motors on one side to work harder in order to compensate for the tilt, the greater the tilt the harder the motors will work in order to maintain a stable position in GPS mode.
Thanks for moving quickly through everything! Nothing worse than watching a video where somebody is over explaining everything. Looking forward to other videos from you.
A brief explanation to using your shutter speed to help your frame rate. The lower you set your exposure on auto with the DJI Phantom, the higher the shutter speed goes in an attempt to control the exposure (light entering the lens). The higher the shutter speed = more jittery videos, more jello and prop interference. If you're shooting at 24p you want your shutter speed around 1/50th, 30p@1/60th, 60p@1/120th etc. 24p is a typical cinematic frame rate and gives you cinematic motion blur when using a 1/50th shutter speed. 60p is twice the frame rate which can be slowed down in post-production to 50% (30fps) and when used at 1/120 shutter speed, gives you smooth slow motion at 50% speed. If you're trying to shoot 1/50th of a second at 24p and everything is really over exposed (more than likely on a sunny day), then you're going to need neutral density (ND) filters to reduce the light entering the lens, bringing your exposure closer to normal. 24p@1/50th + ND filters to correct the exposure = cinematic drone footage (more motion blur).
yeah as Cody said, I've seen a lot of dji tutorials specifically this n the phantom 4, yeah you sold it perfectly, in all honesty I was enjoying it and then it was over, this was well presented and it's easy to watch, bring out more vids, I want the 4 but it's too much, gonna look at getting the 3 in a few weeks so keep up with the quality work
Good vid - I like that you calibrated it by turning the quad round its own axis, not using your body as the axis and spinning it round yourself like most demonstrations do. It still seems to calibrate the other way but it can't be as accurate IMO.
I have had one of these for 3 years and I have never flown it. I found DJI's instructions so complicated and incomprehensible that I was afraid that the drone would fly away and fall on someone. It took me a couple of hours to figure out how to even start the damn thing. I held on to it when I finally got it started because I thought it would do something unpredictable or just fly away. The screen was so complicated and jumbled with icons, numbers and things that I couldn't make sense of anything. DJI has done a really bad job of explaining the operation of this drone and making it easy for beginners. The whole experience actually turned me off to the whole drone experience. Your instructions were much better but I still don't have confidence that the damn thing won't just fly away never to be seen again. I may try again and if it flies away I'm not even going to look for it.
+caleb bautista -brown I've heard that the newest version of the DJI GO app works well on the S6. As with all phones and tablets, it is a good idea to close all other apps and put the phone in airplane mode while using the GO app.
You gave a very nice and complete explanation to……yourself. For us-people with not or very little experience, we lost most of it. I am retired but I had between 10 and 25 solicitors and my motto was: treat people respectfully and as if they are mentally disabled
Thanks for that. I have one on the way and every bit of tutorial I get before I start flying it helps! Except I don't advise slow takeoff and landing, you can flip the drone from ground effect.
That's a good question, but no. With DJI you wouldn't want to. If you want to do a Headless mode, I recommend building your own with the Raspberry Pi and Pixhawk. It looks pretty interesting.
Great video... Just got a P3A and digging for info. One point I must make: At 08:57, you state "I'm using only the left stick". As a humble newbie, reluctant to point fingers, I thought I would present the point for your review. Thanks, good video.
Nicely done .. very professional. I have a P3A coming in a couple days and am now trying to glean all I can from vids. I have plenty of flying experience, so that won't be a problem (from a Syma nano to my XK X380 gps bird ... 10 quads in all). Already have downloaded latest firmware upgrade and will put that on the SD card and pop it into the camera slot and get upgrade out of the way. Might need additional upgrades for TX & batteries .. not sure. Will check back and view some of your other vids. Cheers.
Subaru driver 😄 Most of my close relatives drives Subaru, everything from Impreza, Legacy, Outback and Forester. I myself got two Legacy and one Impreza 👌🏻 The reason I'm here is that my dad got a phantom for his birthday several years ago and it's barely used. Going to ask him if I can borrow it. 🤓
Good tutorial, straight to the point, no nonsense blabber about things don't care about. I am definitely getting this model. Does this model follow you? Does it have active follow with GPS? I was thinking of driving my car and having this hover above my car as I drive and recording my driving haha!
If you dont care about the 4k camera get the Phantom 3 advanced which has all the feature of the pro but the camera is 2.7k instead of the 4k camera on the pro and yes im pretty sure this the advanced and pro will follow you but not sure if the standard does!
Hello. I have a little problem with my phantom 3 SE. It just goes up by itself, and when i'm landing the drone is hitting the ground hardly. If you know how to fix this, please write it here on this comment
Thank you, really really helpful. I am preparing to buy Phantom 3 Professional for wedding photography basically. This would be my first drone so I wanna learn as much as I can before buying it. I know it would be very helpful to get a cheaper drone to practice first but i don't have extra bucks to spend on that. So thank you
+Subeiro Gyimah Definitely recommend getting a cheap small drone to learn on. You will most likely find that the Phantom 3 is actually much easier to fly than the trainer quadcopter. But, it will be expensive to crash a Phantom 3 instead of learning on a small one. Fly safe and have fun!
+Jennifer Mc Syma X5 is a good size for a Phantom trainer, flies really good, is durable and super cheap. I also like the Hubsan X4 H107 and the Blade Nano QX.
Thanks for the tips. My first fly was a terrible experience. My drone flew away from me cause I didn't calibrate and I almost lost it. Good thing I reacted fast and hit the back to home button.
Thanks for your video. I really enjoyed and learned. I will be buying one and plan to take it with me on holiday to a place where there is no internet signal. Will it work properly like in London or in your place.
+G Mahinda Bandara Yes they do not need internet to operate. Many people get confused that they need an internet connection to fly. You just need to update it before you leave for vacation and cache all the areas that you will be flying in the GO app while connected to the internet. Also be sure to calibrate the compass before taking off. No internet connection needed for that. Enjoy!
Your video was great EXCEPT...it was for people who are very familiar with drones. For someone who has never flown one before and doesn't understand all the details you described on the ipad "all the abbreviations" you used as you spoke very fast.....where would one go to learn all of that?
Great video...my P3 4K is still in the box unopened...as a past CPP photographer with the PP of A, I really appreciated the detail as to the histogram and other photo controls you demonstrated.....you covered a great deal in a very short time...very efficent...again...THANK YOU!!
buy this one which i am using myself without any problems: www.amazon.com/PENIVO-Controller-Anti-Glare-Protector-Accessories/dp/B0769GJNQ8?ref_=ast_bbp_dp
Hey!...thanks for putting out this very good informational video...I have a question 🙋🏽♂️...what if I would really like to get into droning...but...I live deep within a major city...how can one like me fly drones...with having to load me and my gear up...and have to drive...10, 20, 30 miles outside the city to fly a drone... ...it almost seem very exclusionary...and such a hobby is for folks who live in the middle of nowhere...😣😖😣
+Cabrals Corner The Phantom 3 models are not designed to swap/upgrade cameras. However all three models produce really nice videos and stills. Seems DJI's intention with the Phantom 3s is to provide a lot of tech which allows high quality results for not a lot of $. If you want/need ability to swap cameras, then the Inspire 1 or Inspire 1 Pro could be a better fit for you.
is dji phantom 3 advanced easy enough to control for somebody who has never had a drone? I had syma x8c but had huuge problems with controling it.. (couldnt manage to keep it up while turning around and moving on sides).. + I attached gopro to it and it straggled to even go up... If I understand well phantom goes up for height which I set at the beginning and then it stays up until I will give it commands? (I can let go of remote and it will stay up?)
Quote: "In this video I QUICKLY show you ....." The most important part of the tutorial was going through the menus and settings and you really rushed through it like you were in a hurry. It's important stuff (and the first of dozens of videos I've watched that included that information, so thank you for that) so I was eager to absorb it. Even going back many times, it was hard to pick up all the nuances. I would love a video of just this part .... The Menus & Settings, where you went slowly and explained why you chose one setting over another and what the different setting choices do. Also would like more info on the Polar Pro filter you used .... which one is it and why ? There are quite a few when I research them. (My Phantom 3 Advanced arrives today) :-)
+Travels with Yoly Thanks for the feedback. I agree, our goal with this video was to keep it short. Even though these are fairly easy to learn and fly, we could easily do hours worth of more in depth training. We will work on it =)
+SuperDrones Thank you for replying to my input. As you say, these are fairly easy to learn and fly so I was just a bit disappointed that the bulk of the video was just learning how to fly (the easy part). I have since found several videos relating to the menus and settings (IMU & Gimble calibration) and have a much clearer picture in my mind now. As a newbie, I have much to learn and I really appreciate all the effort that the drone community has put into tutorials like yours. I've watched them all for a week now. As it turned out (long story), my Phantom 3 is actually arriving today so you can guess my excitement :-) Thank you once again and I look forward to more of your videos.
+Travels with Yoly Congratulations on your new Phantom 3! You are really going to enjoy it. Wish more new owners were like you... Always good to study as much as possible to be as safe as possible. Happy flying!
+SuperDrones Whenever we buy a new car, I make my wife read the owners manual and then I do not turn over the second set of keys to her until she has passed my quiz (where is the spare and jack located, how do you access them, how do you defog the front and rear windows, etc). I want her to be prepared should she ever have an issue when I am not with her. I am a retired engineer and there is always something I learn from reading the owners manuals. The Phantom is a remarkable piece of complex hardware made to be as uncomplicated as one could imagine. I'm very impressed :-) Also noticed that we have to register now with the FAA :-)
+Travels with Yoly - Register and then place the number they give you on every qualifying UAF. This way the numbskulls who misuse their drones can be identified and flogged accordingly.

God finally a video that doesn't ramble on about "Oh hey subscribe" and "Let me tell you a story first"... Getting right to the point. Thank you.
I just order DJI Phantom 3 Standard, and I learn a lot 'thinks to do first' from this video. Good work!
Thanks by the way
Thanks for moving quickly through everything! Nothing worse than watching a video where somebody is over explaining everything. Looking forward to other videos from you.

Some people like the sound of their own voice i think
A brief explanation to using your shutter speed to help your frame rate. The lower you set your exposure on auto with the DJI Phantom, the higher the shutter speed goes in an attempt to control the exposure (light entering the lens). The higher the shutter speed = more jittery videos, more jello and prop interference.

If you're trying to shoot 1/50th of a second at 24p and everything is really over exposed (more than likely on a sunny day), then you're going to need neutral density (ND) filters to reduce the light entering the lens, bringing your exposure closer to normal. 24p@1/50th + ND filters to correct the exposure = cinematic drone footage (more motion blur).
Reubs thank you for that explanation
Wow, I didn't realize you had to take a photography class to own a drone. LOL Thanks for the tip, mate.
Thanks for the video. I've watched at least 5 tutorials on this drone, and this was by far the best one. You got the the point quick. Subbed.
yeah as Cody said, I've seen a lot of dji tutorials specifically this n the phantom 4, yeah you sold it perfectly, in all honesty I was enjoying it and then it was over, this was well presented and it's easy to watch, bring out more vids, I want the 4 but it's too much, gonna look at getting the 3 in a few weeks so keep up with the quality work

This video was perfect and exactly what I was looking for. straight to the point and step by step. Awesome, Thank you so much!
Great guide, I just ordered a Phantom 3 Standard, so this video is helpful!
My dad did for me to fly so we can go fishing to drop baits
This is a great video for us new drone pilots! Thank you!!
Super clear, brief, and just to the point. This is what every drone newbie needs.
Lovely tutorial. Straight to the point and fast paced!
+Joel Péclard Thank you!
This is an A+ Tutorial, really great job my friend, I would recommend this to anyone 👍. You have a new subscriber, keep up the great work.
revellgordon1 thanks happy you found it helpful. Have fun flying!

You can sell it to me at 10% the price you paid for it. Deal?
For christ sake fly the damn drone! What a waste!
Thank you for the video, I bought a used Phantom 3 Pro and now I understand the additional controls for panning down and changing the shutter speed.
Your tutorial is the best on the internet :)
+DjMaleeq Thank you! Happy you liked it.
+SuperDrones does it work with Samsung Galaxy S6?
+caleb bautista -brown I've heard that the newest version of the DJI GO app works well on the S6. As with all phones and tablets, it is a good idea to close all other apps and put the phone in airplane mode while using the GO app.
First flight today of my Phantom 3 4K. Success! Your video was VERY helpful during my pre-flight study, thank you.
Happy to hear it! Thanks for the feedback and enjoy your new P34K.
I just picked up a Phantom 3 Pro today (great deal, so I went with the pro). I'll be watching a few more videos before taking it out.
How do you like your P3 Pro? Still one of my favorites. Great quad and exceptional value with the recent price drop.
+SuperDrones Loving it. The price drop was all I needed of a push.
make sure you subscribe for more videos about drones.... *only has one video*

You gave a very nice and complete explanation to……yourself. For us-people with not or very little experience, we lost most of it. I am retired but I had between 10 and 25 solicitors and my motto was: treat people respectfully and as if they are mentally disabled
I already have phantom 3 4k , just watching this to bring back the excitement while watching this when i dont have a drone.
Great tutorial... You indicate slow shutter speed is desirable. Do you have an optimal speed for video? Photos?
great tutorial young man. I'm going to buy one for my birthday which is today but can't get it until next month.
YOU BETTER NOT BE ADDRESSING ME LIKE THAT PUNK.
Looking forward to more videos! I was inspired by you to start my new hobby of aerial photography and enjoying it since.
Pavel Yarema Thanks! Means a lot! Great videos on your channel :)
Thanks for that. I have one on the way and every bit of tutorial I get before I start flying it helps! Except I don't advise slow takeoff and landing, you can flip the drone from ground effect.
Thanks for the lesson! Isn't there a headless mode on this?
This is DJI we don’t do headless mode over here
That's a good question, but no. With DJI you wouldn't want to. If you want to do a Headless mode, I recommend building your own with the Raspberry Pi and Pixhawk. It looks pretty interesting.
Get Phantom 2. That one has headless mode😁
Thanks for the screen details and function orientation. It will greatly help my orientation with the Phantom 3 once it arrives.
If you ever get far away and can't tell orientation always look at your map and it has an arrow
Great video... Just got a P3A and digging for info. One point I must make: At 08:57, you state "I'm using only the left stick". As a humble newbie, reluctant to point fingers, I thought I would present the point for your review. Thanks, good video.

I am looking to buy a one soon. Great starter video...
Great video and helps me with my DJI phantom 3 standard
Nicely done Chris!
awesome demo im going to get one asap
good tutorial. yep. I'm buying this drone.
Got the 3 Standard today, thanks for this help!
how is it?
it's amaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazingly awesome (bought one 2 days ago)
does the standard 3 have the return to home botton?
+Emanuel Villarreal Yes. All Phantom 3 and 4 have RTH button on the remote, in the GO app and can be set to RTH in the event of signal loss.
SuperDrones Hmm I think you might be incorrect on that, the standard only has joysticks, power button, toggle switches and wheel to control camera.
It’s the squaw peak overlook!
Very Very good video about phantom 3...i've the advanced model...
NIce Tips & tricks video... thanks for sharing...
Great video, precise and to the point. Sold all my GoPro gear to purchase the Phantom 3 Standard so pumped to use it!
+zippypop34 I think you will really love it!
Thank you so much for this. Great job at keeping it simple.
Thanks for the tips. My first fly was a terrible experience. My drone flew away from me cause I didn't calibrate and I almost lost it. Good thing I reacted fast and hit the back to home button.
this has been a great help to me i look forward to seeing the rest if your video's thank you
Awesome video!! Thanks for teaching us all. question, where can I get the filter for the camera you mentioned. thanks
Best video out there. Love it.
Thanks for your video. I really enjoyed and learned. I will be buying one and plan to take it with me on holiday to a place where there is no internet signal. Will it work properly like in London or in your place.

Cool video. Can you change the angle of the camera mid-flight?
+jsprite123 Yes. it's the scroll wheel on the top left corner of your transmitter.
For some reason I can't get the blades to activate, I got mine from a friend's husband who passed away. Any suggestions will help.
Thanks. This is a really helpful video!

thank you please more Tutorial
how much battery time do u have to play with a phantom 3, and did they improve the batt life on the phantom 4, or what are the improvements?
tq bro! for such compact guide for us keep for instant flying. but wat button u press for dat increase/decrease exposure thingy? tq again
Helpful video yes.
Sir, at around 2:20, you state left stick left-it turn left, right-turn right, left stick actually rotate the quad left or right
Really good vid. Can you make a second video about flying further and moving the camera? Thx
+FrisoZ Thank you! Glad you found it helpful. We are working on getting several other videos done now.
+SuperDrones Please can we have some more videos from you?
+SuperDrones how can i download dji pilot i cant find !! :/
oguz ahmet DJI has renamed it to GO
+SuperDrones oh thx for the answer :)
Wow! This is great!
Great video
Wow fantastic video.
Good vid. Thank you for taking the time to make it.
Thank you you helped me set mine up. Your really nice to
WOW!!! AMAZING INDEED 💖💖💖 I'LL BUY A UNIT VERY SOON =)
Will the camera be upgradable in the future? Or do we need to purchase the next Phantom?
