Great tutorial. I am a new flyer. I don't like reading instruction manuals so I watched this instead. It is concise, focused and directly to the point. Well worth watching!
Really appreciate you spending time showing how to get me going on my DJI 4 Pro that I will receive in about 3 days. I am very excited about starting flying my drone. Like everyone who buys one I sure don't want to blow $1800.00 on my first try. Or after I am experience flyer. The picture I have on my screen is when I was 25. I am now 75 and starting a new hobby. Looking forward to really becoming as much an expert as I can. Being retired I have lots of time on my hands. Thank's again Billy. Robert
A wealth of great info in that video, and you present it excellently. Thanks, Billy! I now know that I can adjust the saturation value and I now know how to display the histogram. I knew neither of those things before watching your video. By the way, CSC is Control Stick Command, which is moving both sticks to the "corners". Also, "cache" is pronounced the same as "cash".
I think its cool you put this out there, people will benefit from having the run down. My fifty-two cents, 1. Change the gimbal settings: The tilt allowance doesn't limit the gimbal movement, it allows you to tilt up to 30 degrees above level.2. reduce the speed to 25 or 30 and put about 17 on the pitch buffer setting so the gimbal starts and stops its movements slowly. 3. For changing your photo setting on the fly you can use the right wheel on the controller and use those c1 and c2 buttons for something more useful. Move through the settings by pressing in on the wheel and then roll the wheel to change the setting...Finally, you will get more life out of your batteries if you try and land close to 30 percent. Recommending to folks that they fly them down to 20 is eh esp in cold weather or over water, battery failure is on the top ten list for crashes. Finally, the FAA rules are not there to be pesky, they are there to keep people from getting killed. Straight up. Every accident that occurs because people don't follow airspace restrictions is one more reason the FAA will have to restrict our use of these ridiculously awesome flying camera platforms... Sorry for the rant but its pouring and I'd rather be flying...
I have to say THANK you for your very good effort to explain in a reasonable fast way [as always,some people with a negative comments, in this case... about your video...??] for me it's very good way with a basic way to describe the optinios going throught one by one... Very good Billy Kyle and thank you for your help in this video of yours. I have watched lots of them but it's not clear as this one. People should understand that you are just saying what is what and what you using but of course after we can improve some of this settings as we all get more use to it... Thanks again from me [a beginner]...
Very nice video.Got my Spark today and since I’m sick and having a terrible flu I thought it would be a good time for some pre-learning. Keep it up! Subbed.
Thanks for this great walkthrough of the app, i was looking for this, although English is not my native language your explication is very clear and to the point.
Billy, Thank you so much for making this video.... Just by chance I stumbled upon your video.... I can't tell you how much it has helped me understand my Mavic RC screen!!
the swipe up/down thing was really unknown to me and annoying at the same time. I used to restart the app everytime I lose the icons. THX FOR YOU now I know :)
Another awesome tutorial, Billy. I appreciate all the time and effort you put into your vids to help us "newbs" out !! Looking forward to whats next !!
Great video Billy..Thanks a bunch ..It is the best instructions I have seen so far and just what I need for getting started real soon..I will check out your other walk thru video..Again thanks for a great video..
FYI: "Gimbal Tilt Limit to 30 Degrees" is how far you can can tilt the gimbal upward not down. I think it allows you to tilt the camera up towards the sky while flying. Great presentation nonetheless!
Thank you for such Magic information, quick and informative English perfectly spoke. I'm a uk pilot with 30 years fixed wing extreme experience, finding phantom 3 pro 4 pro and today my Mavis pro fresh delivery today leaves me haunted with exiting safe and knowledgeable.flight.knowledge. Many thanks . Robert Kelly.
Very Detailed explanation, Now am very confident to go and out and do my second Flight, Just clarify on your Words about the modes H.264 AND h.265 You must have mixed your words on that point. Bravo GOOD WORK
I was ready to set to H264 but the last statement confused me. Sounded just the opposite of what you had previously said. I shoot at 1080 at 60 FPS. Should I set to H264 or H265? Thanks for your help!
Billy, question if your drone were to land else where than go home does the app show the GPS location of the drone? I am thinking if you drone goes down you can recover it by using a hand held GPS.. thanks..
GREAT VIDEO... Very informative.. FYI: I took a class for Search And Rescue, and learned CSC Means Combined Stick Commands.. Meaning it is the combination of 2 movements with both hands.. Not just one hand moving one stick... It takes both hands doing something different at the same time.. I just learned this a few months ago, been flying for 4 years.. LOL
great video will be adding it to my tips list for constant watching. useful tip of my own to add, map cache swicthed on will allow you to pre-cache maps on the app before you fly. useful in case you are flying in areas where your smart device can't get an Internet connection just scroll around the map where you intend to fly before you go and the device will store this data.
This tutorial saved my life!!!!!! i was so scared to fly until watched this tutorial and was good afterward. Just a few points off for your description of the COLOR settings. That section is extremely important for those who are color grading their footage for filming purposes. If you can do a video about the LOGS in that section that would be great!
I have done a few video regarding the best camera settings. I go a bit more in depth, but I usually like to film in "None" as it gives me the truest colors. Do you have the Phantom 4, Phantom 4 Pro, or Mavic?
An excellent video. A little fast, but one can always go back over it. Thank you for this terrific tutorial. It will become valuable when my P4P Plus arrives in a couple of weeks.
If it's any help to you, at around @21:03 "cache" it's not "CASHAY", it is "CASH". For instance a money cache is a storage of money, like a hole in the wall. A place to hide or keep/cache money. I hope that helps.
Actually, Billy K is right. The correct pronunciation is 'cashay'. The word has long ago been abbreviated to 'cash' by the IT community, and although it's used widely, it's not the correct pronunciation. There's only one cache - they all mean the same thing, which is essentially storage. It's from the French; cacher - to hide. No big thing, but I thought some might find it interesting... Really useful video, shame about the constant presence of the hand!
was just laughing at 15.50 gimbal tilt ;) used your video to help someone new to the p4p.. a few changes to the app now but the main items are there. cheers Billy
Thank you for a great instructive video. I just got a Phantom 4 drone and did not know they came with no instruction. I would still be in the dark about many features on the screen if it wasn't for this video. Keep up the good work. I will see this video again. Thanks.
Great video, just acquired the Mavic Pro - a steep learning curve. I don't see half of the functions that you mention in this video in the latest Go4Pro app that I have down loaded from the Google Play Store to both my mobile phone and my tablet. Any ideas why some would be missing? I live in a restricted fly zone area and now ( had a couple of RC flights) I have a warning of the above and the drone will not take off. I also don't have the Geo Systems function, to override it, in the drop down menu.
Hi thanks for this great video very helpful, I am looking to buy this nice drone, about the tablet what tablets works fine with the remote please? As I was going to buy the pro plus version but the problem is that the screen is too small and also it cannot install any apps on it.
Billy Kyle GREAT video very helpful been looking for a video like this and couldn't seem to find one in detail like this. I just ordered my mavic pro so want to be ready don't want to make a video on how I crashed mine like alot I've seen 🙁.
GREAT! Thank you. I was studying up for an expected delivery (P4P) on Monday and thought I'd check to see where Fed Ex had my drone... It's out for delivery. OMG! Today!
Watch the updated walkthrough HERE: th-cam.com/video/6Bb7SgiQaFY/w-d-xo.html

Excellent presentation. 4.0 had me confused on a couple of settings, but you clarified them for me.
Very informative for some one that is about to get into the Phantom 4 today, thank you for all your effort.
Very nice video.Got my Spark today and since I’m sick and having a terrible flu I thought it would be a good time for some pre-learning.

Cool stuff, very insightful.
Great video Billy!
Thanks man!
Great video. As a new flyer. The last couple flights had no audio. Any ideas ?
Enable Upward Gimbal... enables the gimbal tilting up an additional 30° not down as stated around the 17:24
Looking so good, that was sick!
Excellent job. Your a natural.
+jim Thanks Jim!
Wow, better way to learn than the manual. DJI should take a que from you and deliver instructions like this. Well done!
+RockViewVideo Thanks man! Really appreciate it👍🏽
Thank you, that has really been very helpful and i'll be back checking again as it was a lot to take in
Nicely done, thanks for the tutorial.

Glad I found your video it's a big help for me, I just got a phantom 4 Pro
+Lee McCoubrey Awesome! How do you like it?
I like it just haven't flown it yet. soon
+Lee McCoubrey Ahhh ok. First flight is always fun
Yeah I'm reading and watching you tube to learn as much as possible first, don't want to crash or anything I'm new at this.
+Lee McCoubrey Great idea. Too expensive to mess up lol

cheers buddy. great video.
+TheMiggins Thank you sir
Very Helpful Dude - Thumbs Up
+John Vincent Sanido Thanks John!
Billy Kyle Well, I have a question about Registration tho.
Do you need to register the drone to FAA if you are a tourist in USA?
+John Vincent Sanido You probably should, how long are you staying?
Billy Kyle 2 months :) already did anyways :)
Thanks :)
Just got my first flight in Hollywood Sign :)
great audio also!! thanks!
+natserog Thanks again! Appreciate the feedback
Thanks for the video helped a lot and CSC stands for Combination Stick Command
+Regemark Films Auhh ok thanks! Good to know!
Billy Kyle It's a pleasure
GREAT video very good info👍
+Goods49 Thanks!
An excellent video. A little fast, but one can always go back over it. Thank you for this terrific tutorial. It will become valuable when my P4P Plus arrives in a couple of weeks.
+Bill Tyler Thanks again! Imagine how long it would have been if I went slower😅
Yes Billy, very nice presentation. My P4P is pretty new and this was a nice dive into the menus.
Take care.
+Dallas Roberts Thanks Dallas!

Hi what does the red icon mean on the top next to the controller icon
Great work that's was about most information I have been able to find to date. Still waiting for my new p4p plus to tune up. Cheers
+Bryan Lawlor Thanks! Glad I could help
Got my phantom 4 pro plus today. Did all the upgrades first and whet for a quick fly. Just one thing the video was a bit jumpy. Any ideas thanks
+Bryan Lawlor Maybe try to recalibrate the gimbal. Let me know if that works
Yes that fixed it. Working prefect THANKS
Thanks. Great walk through for beginners. Can you say what the green rectangle with AF is?? Also the little lock with AE top right corner???
+gingerjessy The green rectangle just shows the area you are auto focusing on. AE stands for auto exposure.
Okay. Thanks fella.
+gingerjessy 👍🏼
So is it recommended to keep AE unlocked or locked? What's the difference? Thanks in advance
Very good learn alot guero gracias 😊🇲🇽👍🏼
Like on your home screen how do u turn of those clear rectangles that are on the top and bottom
Subscribed....well done!!!
+natserog Thank you!
Hi thanks for this great video very helpful, I am looking to buy this nice drone, about the tablet what tablets works fine with the remote please? As I was going to buy the pro plus version but the problem is that the screen is too small and also it cannot install any apps on it.
great video! are these pretty much the same settings as the mavic pro ?
Yes, except for a few settings here and there
Billy Kyle GREAT video very helpful been looking for a video like this and couldn't seem to find one in detail like this. I just ordered my mavic pro so want to be ready don't want to make a video on how I crashed mine like alot I've seen 🙁.
+Speedy2246 Lol so many crashes. Thanks Speedy!
GREAT! Thank you. I was studying up for an expected delivery (P4P) on Monday and thought I'd check to see where Fed Ex had my drone... It's out for delivery. OMG! Today!
Thank you very interesting
Thanks this really helped me out, appreciate all the effort that went into making this tutorial.
Thanks for the comment and support!
Thank you very helpful
No problem Wes!
+Wes case Sure thing Wes
