FAQ’s:

Q: WHAT THE FLIP IS THAT LIGHTNING CABLE DOING COMING OUT OF YOUR PHONE IS IT CHARGING THE PHONE? IS IT CONNECTED TO THE REMOTE? WHAT IS IT?
A: First off; no, it isn’t connected to my controller. It is connected to my MacBook Pro simply so that I can record my iPhone screen with Quicktime Player. I do this because, at the time of recording this video, there were not any natively supported solutions to record an iPhone screen.

Q: What app is that? Why does mine not look the same?
A: The app is “DJI GO” and is used to connect to any DJI drones. The app is supported on both iPhone and Android. However, they do appear different between the two operating systems so that may be why your app looks different.

Q: Where are the recorded videos stored?
A: It really depends on your drone. For the DJI Phantom 3 Standard, they are located on a micro SD card which is placed in the camera of the drone itself that stores all the videos/photos recorded. The drone when you first buy it comes with a free included 8GB micro SD card :).

Q: How did you shoot in 4K from a 2.7k camera? What are your camera settings?
A: The simple answer is I didn’t. The reason that this video is in 4K is due to the 2.7K footage being upscaled to 4K. The main camera I used to shoot this video, an iPhone 7, was used to record native 4K footages to that is why those parts of the video look so crispy ;). As for camera settings, I just used the standard automatic settings and I didn’t change any color profiles or any other options in settings. Also, I didn’t add any color grading in post. This is just all videos directly from the drone itself.

  8. Very Well Explained..!
    Hello Everyone, I too have Uploaded a Video Explaining about DRONES and It’s Usage in HINDI🇮🇳 Language.
    It is a Educational Video and I tried to make it as short and Simple as Possible so that Everyone can understand about the Drone Technology.
    And.. If you like the Work you can support me by reacting on the Video and Subscribing my Channel.
    Happy Watching 🙂

  9. Hi man, great content. May I ask, can drones be perfectly stable (as in not moving) for the entire flight time? Thanks much

  10. Very informative video! I wonder how necessary it is these days to monitor the wind conditions on apps like Climacell or AccuWeather these days before flying.

  11. Hi mate, any chance of a video on how you managed to configure the Unifi usg onto your network? With the ip issues ? I’m having the same issues , thank you mate

  12. Pls can I have a fantom drone I whant one I have a cool carbon fiber drone but no battiery or controller so buy is or give me

  14. Thanks and my dad is buying me a drone but we have to go to the police to get a form because in my country you need a form or you will get arrested

  15. Too many steps not getting one besides I might fly my drone and get it stuck and it ain’t coming back 😢😂😂😂😂 who else?

  16. Thank you for such a great video!! I recently bought a DJI Phantom 3 standard. But for the moment I”m practicing muscle memory by flying a cheap toy drone. If I crash that, no worries.

  17. Hi there!
    Cool introduction!
    We love your video and we also have an awesome gadget that we believe you will absolutely love, can you check your inbox for a message from PhotoFast?

  18. Dude thank you so much..I got a drone for Christmas this year and I literally didn’t know how to work it at all. THIS IS A GREAT VIDEO😼

  19. Thank you for telling me this today on Christmas I just saw the video and did our time and this video was made for years ago and I just got on phone today so thank you for telling me the things I need to do for the white drone

  20. My dad self built his modular drone. He’s put so much time, perseverance and dedication into it I’m beyond proud, his talent and passion is admirable. It would mean the world to him if you checked it out on his new YouTube page https://youtu.be/QdSZ_rnPVss Thank you 🦣

  21. Thank you for going thru this for us. As a new to drone and cell phones grandfather it is helpful. I will have to watch it once or twice. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

  22. You know why im here? Last time i bought an RC Drone And i Try At least one minute It flew away then Gone Thats all How to waste you money in a Minute

  23. I bought the drone from Amazon, it is really excellent and excellent specifications. I recommend it through my personal experience to see the details on the site with a link
    amzn.to/2Ty74Ga

  24. Thank you! I ordered my first drone yesterday and now am watching videos on how to safely fly as I can legally fly

  25. My son has same model wants to attach stuff to send to his friend a few gardens down any idea the weight it would carry?

  26. I love your videos I don’t actually have a drone yet and I’m in south Africa and I would love 1 for my birthday which is soon I don’t mean from u from my parents so I’m just getting r

  27. I liked your video. Much thanks for the beginner know-how. I’m interested in buying one. Sincerest flight wishes.

  28. We also have a youtube channel but we have very poor facilities. We record our videos using a normal camera. If u can please give us a camera.. or a drone.. even a small one.. if u can please give us a smaaaall help.. I am asking for a small samaaall help..😥😥

  29. I don’t have a drone and will never be able to buy one . But i still watched the whole video and enjoyed it . Thanks !

  30. My drone says it has a control distance of 100M, will it really be able to fly the distance of a football field? I feel like that’s a stretch.

  31. Wow 46 persent already but thanks dude this is perfect tomomorow im going to have a dji i will watch this tommorow cuz i wont remember this

  32. Thanks 🙏 💐 Namsty 💐🙏🏻
    First time I see this drone .
    Haw much prize?
    One time Battery charj then haw much time flying drone?
    This drone made in?
    Please reply dear

  33. I am sell my PS3s one controlling and buy a drone and now I know how to fly a drone thanks bro 😉😃

  34. wtf, dude you are calling your viewers losers you need to learn how to do youtube seriously get a life.

  35. RTF is complete junk YES even DJI why would you pay 700 dollars for maybe 200 in components ANY quad that uses wifi is toy grade the only RTF I’ve flown that I would admit is a Drocon bugs 3 worth every penny

  36. How many yards can your drown go from where you are? When it’s about 100 feet above ground how detailed are the videosHow much does that drown cost? I’ve never had a drown.

    1. This one in this video, the DJI Phantom 3 Standard, claims by DJI to have around a 1000m (3280ft). I’ve pushed that well over 1610m (5280ft) in a range test back in my day of checking out this drone. It DID cost $500, but it’s no longer in production so people price hike the heck out of this. I would suggest checking out the DJI Mavic Mini as an alternative as it’s smaller, has a ton more specs, and is pretty comparable in some aspects. You can find a comparison videos of them here on my channel.

  37. The problem with my drone is when it takes off it will either go to the left or the right without me touching the remote control can anyone explain why it does that

  38. hola excelente video deseo que permanezcan haciendo videos similares!!! Voy a seguir mirando sus creaciones. Les envio un beso nos vemos pronto ☝️👍🏽

  39. Thx a lot carson miller you helped me a lot now i know how to fly my drone i always make my drone go to my cousin’s house to know what they’re doing😆😆

  40. قراءة surat alrahman
    مرج البحرين يلتقيان. 19 .بينهما برزخ لا يبغيان .20
    It is a scientific miracle. The sea and the other sea don’t mix .

  41. Thanks for the great video Carson! Why does DJI have such a stupid auto-shutoff feature that can literally destroy your drone? (i.e.: when you accidentally move both joysticks outwards or inwards) Can that feature(?) be turned off in settings? TY! 🙂

    1. @Carson Miller Ok, thank you for replying. Just seems like an easy way to accidentally destroy the drone. But it does make sense as you say for emergency situations. Thanks again for your help. I enjoyed your video, really helps a newbie such as myself. Take care.

    2. That’s not a stupid feature at all! I have used it many times in an emergency. That feature is called the “CSC” command and is great for turning your props on if you’re manually taking off as well as shutting off the props in an emergency. To answer your question though, truthfully, I’m not sure about the DJI Phantom 3 Standard, but as far as newer DJI drones go, I always see the option to disable it in settings! I wouldn’t though! You will inevitably find yourself in an emergency situation and need it sometime!

  42. Thank you!!
    I have started watching many video on this subject but they all have failed.

    I knew these drones had something to do with a cell phone but no video showed this. 👍

  43. Bro , awesome video. Keep making videos . Thank you for this. Now I feel a bit more confident in getting a drone

  44. The flight height limiter is for local laws and regulations. The FAA allows only up to 400ft (122m) or you will get fined.

  45. I’m a nature lover, I love drones, I have a couple of video clips with my phantom3.See my clips, subscribe and like.you subscribe to me, great video.thanks

    1. Well most drones use an enhanced WiFi connection to the drone itself, but Im pretty sure you dont need an internet connection. This may not be with all drones tho

  46. I know you made this video a long time ago but my dad has been sad he couldn’t fly it bc he didn’t know how to use it thanks a lot for helping

  47. how i wish someone give me a drone on my birthday in april 23 2020 even it is use.and even it is cheap.,….. how i wish..

  48. Great video, Carson ! Than you, for teaching us, (beginners) and explaining it, so perfectly, how to fly a drone.

  49. This helped a TON with my P3, I was a big noob before this video but now I understand it VERY well thx man 👍👍👍

    1. Remember the days when people used to see killer clowns I remember watching all4tube kids flying drones into forests to catch clowns

  50. Nice
    Lots of love from India🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

  51. Be a victim of a serial stalker using raw wires that touch when he gets his ass up to run…. He built this freaking mother live wire board like maybe out of wire taps an lie detector an attacking my teeth with slitting them like sir Elton John’s teeth… I pray he has the best freaking kings man spiritual warfare cyber space star are dentist in history. I have been put under so many blackouts human an in Tallahassee federal prison. Seizure as well as my grandson.. The day the detective was at Department of family services he did my grandson colbie

  54. You’re doing a great job..thanks for showing how to fly a drone.and also it was a very good video too..

    1. $500 at the time this video was made. Since then, the price has dropped substantially and I have seen it going for $350 at some stores.

  55. Just got my P3 standard, a hand me down that was hardly ever used, the other day. Have been looking for a decent demo of the gimbal controls. Thanks

  56. once i bought a 80 dollar plane and now its crashed from like 200 ft and now its totally broken so now i have a drone and now i can finally fly it

  57. I’ve just started filming with DJI Mavic Air and that’s the best drone for the beginners. The result is amazing. Check my videos. Hope you’ll like it.

  58. when you get your new drone don’t fly over about 10 foot off the ground you can see what the drones doing how it’s reacting to what you’re doing and if there’s a problem you can get it down without breaking

  59. I know this is an old video but the best advice I can give read your owner’s manual over and over again use YouTube maybe as a backup

  60. you didn’t explain that Autoland right going to get somebody in trouble the Autoland will land a drone right where it’s at maybe in a tree maybe in a pond but it comes down right where it’s at return to home is what you push to bring the aircraft back to its take off point

  61. Peace be with you too in that peaceful village. I like your instructing accents and accuracy. Thank You for having guided us. All the Best … From Weiloi Village, Meghalaya, India.

  62. J’aimerais bien que tu m’aides parce que j’aimerais bien faire commander les manettes de mon drone je sais pas comment on les fait si tu trouves cette message essaie de me faire signe s’il te plaît

  63. I know u have the mavic now

    But I don’t understand that I didn’t buy the iPad extension it came free with my drone and my drone shot in 4K but u shot in 2,7 why I don’t understand

    Edit: i have the phantom 4 he has the cheapest best DJI drone I am very dumb

    1. @Carson Miller cool…thanks for the reply. I was thinking of buying one. Im looking at rc helicopters too…but i don’t wanna buy something and later i get bored with it. But i figured it seems fun…i might buy one

    2. I could ask you, what’s the point of playing basketball? How about soccer? Maybe baseball? The answer is for fun. Yes, there are commercial reasons for wanting to have a drone such as making money with it if you have the right requirements and such but otherwise, there isn’t any real reason for needing one other than it being a fun hobby to have!

  64. okay in my case with the standard 3 I have if you hit the Autoland button the drown will land wherever it’s at it won’t come home and land it’ll and wherever its location is and it may land in a tree on a car on the highway just wherever it’s at it’s going to come down

  65. Hi I have Phantom 3 standard exactly like yours Michael’s up that doesn’t hover in one area like it’s supposed to what can I do about that if you know that if you know what to do let me know thank you I’m new to your channel I like your videos

  66. Cows, I love cows ………I wish u would have been there with cows ……..best wishes from INDIA

  67. how do i singe in to the app ???? i have has this drone for two years and its has not see the light of day yet 🙁

  68. If you click on the channel icon to the left you can see a prototype drone that flies with no mechanical moving parts, except itself or course.

  69. so beautiful ..where can i buy this? am travelling home to shoot nice pics in Kenya next year.. I hope you can direct me where to buy the best ones

    1. They are available at lots of technology retail stores such as Best Buy. Also available online at Amazon! And if you have a drone shop near you they usually make bundles for extremely cheap such which include a carrying case , the drone , extra propellers and extra batteries

  70. I don’t have an iPhone, or another phone device, I’m still living pretty much in the dark ages. Do they make drones that run without the extra equipment or have built in devices?

  71. This is the best video ever I just got the phantom 3 and I thought it was broken but I had to put the sticks in the middle dji should pay you

  72. When I grow up and get a job then I will buy my self the dji phantom drone
    But I am only 11 years old
    And I have jxd tracker drone which has a camera
    But I like dji phantom more😣😣

  73. A question Please. Can a person use the Professional digital cameras for the same or it must be a smart phone. I would be happy to know this, and how its connected if yes. Thank you.

  74. Thank you Carson Miller. I have learnt a lot in a short while. Nice video, excellent skill my start.

  75. can you give me dji mavic pro for free please i am very very poor we dont have money to buy with this drone we earn some money in weddings and functions so please please umder stand my stiution

  76. umm i have an imperfection with my drone
    when it takes off it goes to the left,right forwards or backwards
    does it will make the drone work bad?

    1. I have same problem. And once it goes sideways, its gone. It would be in a nother town by the time I would get to adjust any trim. Its so bad, it can not be just me being bad pilot. I gues it has bad sensor or something.

  77. I flew 3 mini-drones, should I buy a bigger one that is around $200 to start with flying bigger ones? Or should I first buy a cheaper one?

  78. Hello Carson. I notice in some videos that there is a cable that hooks up to the tablet/smartphone and the remote. Why is this? Thanks.

  79. Carson Miller maybe you can help me solving my P3 battery issue. I tried this technique(press1+long press+plug the charger)but it turns out to return from error LED flashes.

  80. Hi Carson. I found you through suggested videos. First, your videos are great and your editing, top notch. I made a YouTube channel, so I’m doing my research. Thanks for all of your help! Please keep it up. Just subbed!

  81. I have just bought the P3S from Drones Direct and will take delivery this Tuesday. I have found this tutorial so very helpful that I feel quietly confident and less apprehensive so thank you very much Carson, much appreciated

  82. im thinking about investing in a dji drone. I just had bad luck flying other models, from your tutorial looks pretty easy. I seen people really fly this thing, like go sky high then send it down and then just halt at stop. You think this is a good drone for a beginner flyer?

  83. Я тоже хочу где ты , ты где находишься ? Жалко конечно , но ты меня не поймёшь

  84. i have a drone which looks the same as yours but its less than half the size. i cant find a single video on this particular model , id love it if you could make a video for me as the conttroller is different to all the others . the model of mine is called HJHRC

  85. Hi carson. Im from philippines. May i ask how to broadcast live to my facebook while flying phantom 3 standard

    1. Lol, no. I’m straight & always have been — this was just filmed when I was like 16 years and 1 month old sooo my voice hadn’t changed to the point it’s at currently

  86. 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😡😡😡😡😡😡very bad

  87. I am really extreme and not afraid of anything so i flew my first drone without the beginner mode aaaand it crashed and i needed to fix it XD

  88. It’s a shame you didn’t TITLE this correctly; it’s definitely NOT “how to fly” nor for beginners. Beginners means, don’t assume viewers KNOW the accronyms you repeatedly use, nor did you show in detail, how to use the controls. Yes, you showed how to use photography but that’s not how you titled this. Maybe do an outline before-hand so you know where you’re going both with the video and the drone.

  89. Today I flew my drone and the wind picked it up and it got lost what do I do? I have till 1 o clock tomorrow when it rains plz respond.

  90. please read my comment ones, is there any one who can send quadcopter for me, am in ethiopia and i cant find any place to buy drone, please i need it so much some one help contact me by nebu37@gmail.com

  91. Hey, great video, just one small thing, your calibration for compass is wrong. You should walk round the aircraft not rotate the aircraft around you. 👍🏻

  92. Do you need wifi or phone service to use one? Can I use a old phone with no service in the middle of the woods or do I need to be close to wifi or phone service?

  93. Hey ! Tell me Please sir !! What is the type of its drone ? Is Nano or Micro or any other ? Pleas tell me sir ?

  94. Drones, TERRORISTS, deadly, perfect weapon. From 4-8 miles can deliver Bio warfare, chemicals, explosives.. Just what terrorist wished for is being delivered into their hands. No Airliners needed to kill 10’s of thousands. Terrorists can freely buy drones online. BIG BOOM! Buildings, Ball Parks, Parades, almost anywhere. A wonderful toy?

    1. Most drones on the market today have NFZ’s (No Fly Zones) built right into them. This means the drones will NOT takeoff in these areas whatsoever. The FAA also recently passed a new piece of info that would mean flying in a NFZ can result in fines and jail time.

  95. Need some advise, How do I focus the camera when on manual with the phantom3 standard? I have everything in focus except the moving subject, set the shutter speed to 1/1000 which should be quick enough to capture a moving subject when taking photos.

  96. When calibrating your compass, you hold your drone horizontally and spin counter clockwise. Once complete, turn your drone’s nose face down, not sideways, and repeat your spin again until complete. I see cows! 😃

  97. Hi please can you message me back with where you got that drone from please I got an iPhone 6s & my camera is awesome & will be posting videos too so please get back to me ASAP thanks Adam

  98. I like Drone I’m photography I can buy a drone but I can not buy a drone because I do not have enough money. Can I ask you for a drone as a help for me? Can I have a drone with a camera? I live in srilanka Can you give me a drone? please

  99. Great video thanks for posting. I liked it so much that I have linked it to my new site called dronetoob. Thanks again for the good work.

  100. I have 2 questions.
    1. Does it connenct the same way to Android ?
    2. Does the drone come with the camera as standard ?
    Thanks 😉

    1. Carson Miller Thanks a lot 😀 I’m gonna be getting this exact model soon. I’ve been saving up money since Christmas last year and I can’t wait to get it 😁

    2. 1. Yes.
      2. Depends on the model that you get specifically, but, the DJI Phantom 3 Standard does come with the camera out of the box.

      Hope this helps!

  101. I have been avoiding this purchase for a while, but am doing recon to pick my first drone. Thanks for taking time to put this out there, it answered a lot of questions that I have had about getting started. I am looking forward to trying to follow a dear with one of these

  102. 1st try – auto – up about 3 feet and drifted toward street- I could not get it back or make it land, almost hit by 2 cars , finally came down in yard 2 houses down

    2nd try – manual take off, drifted toward fence, could not get it to auto land – it finally came down – not sure if I caused it or it did it on its own.

    I am not using the cell phone (yet) and did not do a calibration –
    could that cause the problems?

    maybe I just need more experience

  103. Great vid. I like the entire presentation. Become a professor like myself and teach….thumbs up!!!!…. Yikes Lol

  104. OH GOD Thank you for showing me i was so afraid because when i handle a helicapter i just.. bang it on the ground now i watch this video its super easy
    Thanks

  105. you sure this is you flying? LORD by far my favorite now. music is super vibe with the flight. send it

  106. bro what is the cost of this and also tell me where it is available.can you sent me l will pay yo money

  107. Nice job young man…….. Very clear, important, and very well presented instruction. You obviously have a good knack for explaining things without taking up half of the video telling us what your about to try to tell us, then by time your done never tell us :-))

  108. If you don’t mind can you tell me where I can get more information about drones parts? Like..
    How does it work? What is their mechanism? What should I add to lift up some heavy stuffs?
    I’m a college student from India. 🇮🇳

  112. Are you sure is for beginners?? You dont show how to assamble the drone.. how to connect the cell phone? Is any app to download to start working? Poor information

  113. good job i just got a P4 but you explain it so well that it really helps. great job i am in cow country also

  115. Hello Carson I have my DJI 3 Standard is there an updated APP for this I seem not to find an APP for it in the Play Store

  116. Carson, do you still have to do this calibration maneuver or is it all auto with the new app update? Awesome videos btw.

  117. hey, i am one of the beginners, so i do really need your help on this one. hope you all receive my comments..

  118. Hey bro!! One question please, my phantom 3 standard, when I go forward, and release the right stick, the drone stops very abruptly, it even seems that it will fall, then it stabilizes; Is this behavior normal? Has it happened to you?, thanks a lot for tour answer!!

  119. This video is the most clearly explained video I’ve seen. Now I feel more confident flying my drone since I bought it. Thanks. 🖒

  120. I had watched a few Drone video’s and finally landed on your channel.  After watching most of your drone videos, since Christmas, I decided to finally take the Phantom 3 Standard out for my first flight.  I was nervous and it was a little breezy out, but it was a successful first time out.  I kept in beginner mode, but now I can’t wait to get out to a place where I can really fly it.  Thanks for the great videos.

  121. Hey Carson I crashed my phantom 3 se and the motors look tilted and I can’t tell of it is supposed to be like that or what. I need help

  122. I just bought this drone. Any advice? https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/dji-dji-inspire-2-quadcopter-drone-bundle-with-controller-zenmuse-x5s-camera-ready-to-fly-grey-cp-bx-000185/10553260.aspx?

    1. That’s awesome! My advice would be to stay real safe with the Inspire 2 because it’s a very large drone and could really do some damage to itself/people/property if it crashes. It’s a really great drone considering it’s used in some movies! Fly safe man!

  123. Hello Carson, I️ have been watching your videos, and it seems hat you would know how to help me. I️ have just recently received a DJI Phantom 3 SE, and was flying it yesterday fine with camera view and everything. Today on the other hand when I️ try to see my drone in camera view, it just says “No image transmission signal” and I️ have no clue why.. please text me any information you guys know about this at 978-504-1438!!

  124. Hi, this is totally unrelated but I’ve made up my mind to get a dji phantom 4 . I also wanna get s camera after that I’m impressed with your video quality , pls what camera are you using for recording your YouTube videos?? God bless .

  125. This is not for beginners. It’s probably fine for those who are cell phone savvy and the other prerequisites needed in this techno world. When one titles a video beginners that’s precisely what it should mean. I would like to fly a drone or quad but given the preamble that’s it, I’m off. I suppose this is the penalty one has to pay with increasing years.

  126. can u help me with mine as when u just let it hover it drops down so u have to hold the stick to keep it up can u help me

    1. Haha nope I didn’t even know where that was until just looking it up a couple seconds ago (I live in the United States) but why do you ask?

  127. I am interested in purchasing my first Phantom, However I have NO idea “from whom” is the best to purchase from. IF there are issues or if it shows up damaged, who should I but it from: Amazon, DJI themselves, where?

    1. I would highly recommend Amazon as their prices are (usually) always the cheapest and their return process is incredibly easy. Amazon has a 30 day return policy that if anything is damaged, missing, etc. then you can easily just return it in the box it came in. The DJI website is similar however, they only allow returns up to 14 days after you receive an item.

      Whenever you choose to purchase, the packaging that mine came in was really sturdy so my guess is it’ll be fine. Hopefully this helps you out!

      PS: if you’d like to support me in the process of you getting a drone, consider purchasing through my Amazon affiliate link (http://www.amazon.com/shop/carsonmtech) or my DJI affiliate link (http://click.dji.com/AJLpIjn8hOuMALNU6d7V?pm=link). Thanks 🙂

  128. would u never put both sticks in or out why driving it and shut it off never had a go on 1 but going to get 1

  129. i am thinking of getting a drone, and your video was very helpful for showing me what to do, thanks!
    –Rick

  130. Hello nicely done. trying to decide if I want a drone for what they cost, is the DJI Phantom 3 worth the money for a beginner? also looking to used ones so should I go DJI Phantom 3 or 4? or something else??? If I get one I want something nice but not costly with camera. let me know thanks…

  131. Hi mate
    I’m new to drone flying and bout to purchase one for Xmas ? Got a few questions do you need mobile service to fly the drone? I mean where I will be taking flying it I have no mobile service?
    Plus what the max distance I can get out on the factory antenna ?

  132. Hi Mate,
    Great Video. Can you suggest the best settings for taking photos. Mine turn out quite pixelated.

  133. For someone who has that particular drone or at least that brand of drone, I’m sure this is real useful. But for anyone who owns another brand of machine, it’s pretty much a waste of time. I got nothing out this that would help me with my SYMA.

  134. I can hear that you have this “whistle” sound from your motors/propellers. I have the same thing and it was like this from the first flight. I have only tryed the drone two times. Its just 2 weeks old. Have you had any issues with this? I see that others say its a faulty motor and have to be replaced.

  135. I loved it but I am a loser………………………………………..I have  hard time operating any Drone.

  136. Can you please please buy me a dji phantom drone I will tell everyone in. My school which has 280people to subscribe to your channel and tell everyone in my family to subscribe to your channel which is 472 people to subscribe if you buy me one

  137. I have a drone and if u press down it will go down fast and i think my drone got damage because when u down slowly it down super fast

  138. great video it help me a lot thank you for doing this, what I don’t know is what does the number under safe to fly, it counts down.
    what is that for.

  139. is there any way to invert the up/down? hitting “up” to make it go up seems so backwards to me because i’m used to pulling back on the stick to go up in video games.

  140. Had my P3S for about a month. It’s super fun….providing you are out of traffics way and other people & cars Had a fly away I think you call them. The drone passed by me…had 1 light on battry & I thought id get one more pass….nope, lost control of it within a minute. idk, but it landed almost perfectly. An excellent choice for drones.

  141. Now I hate you(in a good way of course)! Your video was so good, I felt like it was me doing everything!Well done and thanks for this heart stopping ,immersive tut!

  142. I get a message that says that I am restricted to 30 meter height and distance. How do I get that changed so I don’t have any restriction.

  143. Hi Carson. I just purchased a Phantom 3 Standard yesterday and have not even tried flying it yet. I’ve been doing a lot of research on drones prior to purchasing the dji. I just wanted to tell you how much I am enjoying your videos and tutorials on the Phantom 3 Standard, the controller video and the rest. You get right to the point and explain everything very well, your videos are professionally done. I’m carefully studying your videos and I also downloaded and printed the full user manual into a 3-ring binder. I want to study and learn as much as I can before I go to a remote location to attempt my first flight. I am 72 years old and I live in the outskirts of Vancouver, Canada. Thanks again for your awesome videos.

  144. Dude , you are the best, what if I don’t want the video on my phone that eats up memory like crazy. Thanks

  145. *You can save a lot of money by bringing your old batteries back to life and re-using them instead of buying new, overprice batteries. And this method is simple [Check Details Here==>**https://plus.google.com/100351090281822647456/posts/Ct2x2kZGdNN** ], quick and anybody can do it.*

  146. How to fly a drone for beginners:
    Search a cheap drone with lots of help assistants, then start to fly.
    That’s how I made it.
    This video is useless, don’t buy a drone for 500 dollars if you never flew a drone before

  147. Very nicely explained Carson, i was thinking about getting this type of drone, can you tell are they very load??, has it also got software built into the drone, if the drone gets say near any object it will go round it, or hoover??, thank you.
    Dave, (Essex, U.K)

    1. Hi Carson, thanks for the reply, i live in a sort of built up area, could i fly, say from my back garden?, over my neighbors gardens, down the street, would it still hold keep a signal??

    2. Yeah the drone is pretty loud and you’ll need to be about 200 feet away for you to not hear it anymore. As for the DJI Phantom 3 Standard, there is NOT any obstacle avoidance but the Phantom SE, Advanced, Professional, and on up do! Thanks for watching!

    1. There is definitely more! Check out the playlists on my channel and there is one dedicated all to drones!

  148. Hey great video bud. I have just subscribed and liked some video. Would be awsome if u could check out my channel bud.

  149. Thank for your very good views. Now I’m working with current project related to this drone. And I want to get the data from it during flying like velocity, height, acceleration. I tried it but no result for my team. Could you please recommend me some softwares or tool to get this?

  150. Great viedo!  would you happen to now why I have “RC signal lost” on my phone.  All other Wi-Fi is working

  151. I’m thinking of buying myself a drone but wouldn’t know how to use one. Well now I do by just watching your video. Thank you bubba. That was very interesting.

  152. If you have a drone like that you dont need a drone lesson. if you have a chinese one like mine you definetly need a drone lesson

  153. how much was for and does have a no fly zone and 400ft restrictions software the doesn’t let fly in no fly zone and have settings the you maximize to 400 ft in air

  154. DJI is the worst drone company ever… My 2 month old Phantom 4 malfunctioned and flew away, that was 6 months ago and DJI refuses to do anything !!! DJI has the ability to review my flight records at the time of the malfunction, they did and admit their drone did indeed malfunction. The drone ended up crashing in a spot that is not retrievable. I even purchased the DJI aftercare warranty, what a joke that is!  I’ve done everything humanly possible to wake them up to do the right thing by replacing my drone, they have no shame, steer clear of them !!! They grew too quick and can’t keep up with customer service !!!

  155. I just purchased a Phantom 3 Standard, I have been watching your videos and a few others so I can get ready to fly when mine arrives on 8-7-2017.  Thanks for the information and I will put it use soon.

  156. You said abut right switch before flying, please say in what position should be the switch on the left.
    Thanks very much

  157. I am a 73 year old Canadian Phantom 3 Standard drone owner. I couldn’t be happier with it and it does everything I need it to do. So far i have shared it with my 4 grandchildren and 12 other youth and adults. Your videos are the BEST and they have successfully educated me in a very short time.
    Where can I buy an Ipad holder exactly like the one you have in your video? DJI doesn’t have it any more and I can’t find one on Ebay . Thanks
    Gerry

    1. The limit set by Government in UK recently is now 400ft (120M) You must also ensure you are 150M away from people, property and built-up areas. In other words they are making it almost impossible to fly (legally)

    2. I’ve been up to 1,300 meters in the UK lol, almost hit a plane tho so there’s no way in hell I’m doing that again

    3. IT ABSOLUTELY IS! Do NOT pass that 400ft height in the US because that would be violating the FAA regulations. The only reason that I said that in this video was because I knew people from all over the world would be watching this video and I’m not fluent in every other countries regulations so maybe it’s allowed there?😂 Not sure, but I just wanted to make sure the video could apply to everyone!

  158. Hey Carson, I have one problem on my Phantom 3 standard, and that is my S1 switch is on the top position but I’m always in attitude mode….can you help me out.?

  159. Thanks Carson! This is the only video that is simple and right to the point on how to fly a DJI Drone. Well done!

    1. @Carson Miller thanks 🙏 💐
      Dear Namaste 🙏.
      Haw much coast this dron.this drone made in? One time Battery charj Haw much time flying? Please reply 🙏🏻🕉️ 🚩🍇🍎🍊

  160. I’ve been researching on all the drones out there, and DJI drones happened to have all the good reviews, so I will be going for an DJI drone soon. My question is, does the DJI Phantoms 3 or 4 footage… are they compatible with GoPro footage… to edit in GoPro Studio?

  161. I’m thinking of using my drone (I’ve just bought it online), for security work. One question I have to the term “unobstructed”. I’d like to fly this drone around a large metal clad building in order to do a circuit.

    Just so you know, I’ve bought a Phantom 3 advanced, as it was advertized as having a longer range, as well as an antenna booster.

    But thanks to you video, I think I have the solution in that I’d just set the auto return to be higher than the building in question. SO another question. If I was currently flying below said height of the building when it loses connection, would it automatically go up to the preset height before returning?

    1. Just bought a drone and only then did I think of the legal ramifications. Found out that Transport Canada has some stringent flight rules for the area I wanted to use it in. Still, I’ll be moving soon enough, hopefully to a less built up area.

      Anyways, thanks for your reply, your videos are great BTW.

    2. Yep, it should! When you set the RTH height it will always go straight up to that height before it makes its first move back towards the RTH point 🙂

  162. My videos look grainy or choppy that I’ve taken with my P3 standard ,what video settings do you use to get the good quality vids?

    1. Make sure to take the videos from the SD card and not from your phone! That should fix the choppy-ness and grain issues 🙂

  163. hold on…..If you look on the phone, it has a plug in it? In my phantom 3 standard, im not sure if it came with that.What does it do? does it connect to the remote control?

  164. hey man awesome video ….really helped me a lot ….the thing i wanna ask is … did you get any phantom shell cracks ? if you did how did you fix it ?

  165. Some reason my DJI app lay out looks different and i can’t find the setting where Phantom takes off by itself.I can’t find a lot of the options i saw in your app.

  166. Hi Carson 🙂 Could you tell me please, which type of gimbal protector do use for your Standard? I bought one from eBay but it blocks the camera view when tilted down 90 degrees…

  167. I’m a 70-year old Grandpa and a first time DJI Phantom 3 drone pilot. By far, your videos have made the process of learning to fly the Phantom 3 IMMEASURABLY easier! Thanks for taking the time to put these videos together. You’ve definitely outshone the DJI productions. Keep up the great work! And tell your folks they better damn well be proud of the job their son is doing. 😉

  168. What if you pull down the left control for more than 3 secs, will it shut off the drone? Or just when you pull down both controls

    1. Doing that will only shut off the drone when it touches down on the ground! When in the air, you can lock the left control to the bottom actually to descend quicker and then once you get down to the ground you probably would want to not have it pulled down all the way until you touch the ground and want to shut off the propellers.

  169. I got a $80 dollar drone, and really like it. (8 minute fly time sucks) I’m looking into getting this, it’s a very solid drone for $500. Thanks for the great video.

  170. LOL, we were laughing about that little cow that was in your driveway. 😀 But seriously, your video was very impressive and helpful. Thank you for taking the time to put it together!

    1. Actually he looks alot like slimecicle whos name is also named carson could be just the same person. Or was his name carson oh no it wasnt it was another dude whit a channel callmeCarson.

  171. THANKS FOR YOUR REPLY, as i said im a beginner so flying in course lock or headless mode is a bit easier at the moment.

  172. Hi Carson like your videos they have helped a lot, but tell me as I am an absolute beginner can I fly my drone in F Mode? So if I get it in the air and flick to say Course lock can I safely stay in F mode to fly or do I have to go back up to P mode to fly?

    Cheers

    1. Hi Brian…you can absolutely fly in F mode as if you were in P mode but I would suggest if you’re going to be flying a lot to make sure you’re in P mode

  173. I bought via eBay a DJI Mavik Combo. Due in Tuesday. My phone is crappy so I bought a Apple 7 plus with 128 MB. Coming friday. My question for you. What if I ain’t in range of a wifi connection? My house has Wifi but it doesn’t go far. ( I was gonna buy a paraglider but decided to save some money…I even dream of flying) Nice video and Thanks in advance.

    1. Hi there Michael! You absolutely do not need WiFi internet connection at all for any DJI drone other than for the initial download of the DJI Go app, registering an account, and then if there is a firmware upgrade you’ll need it for that. Other than that, all you need is your phone which will directly attach to the controller via the lighting port!! Hope this helps:)

  174. I noticed you have a gimbal guard installed, can you please share what gimbal guard you use and if you ever had any issues with the camera hitting the guard midflight or when the drone is turned on? Thanks! keep up the good work!

    1. Nope I never experience any issues with the camera hitting the gimbal guard:)…I had to mod the gimbal guard in order for it to fit on the DJI P3 Standard but this is what I use: http://a.co/esddohF

    1. The DJI Phantom 3 Standard is actually a pretty decent price and I would highly suggest purchasing it as a first time flyer’s drone!

  175. Hi Carson, my name is Esteban, Ifrom of Costa Rica.
    I have a DJI phanthon 3 Standart and i have a problem when i want fly my dron over water.
    The IMU is fine. I dont now how to do.
    First i calibrate the dron but when i am close from water, the dron say interference electromagnetic.. if you can help me i apreciate your help.
    Sorry for my english

    1. You’re fine! It may just be the location that you’re at. Are there electric poles near you when you’re at this water location? Maybe lots of WiFi signals? Either of these things can interfere with the drone itself in flight! Fly safe!

  176. is it possible take dji system out the quad and put on rc airplane and fly the airplane with dii system mount on the battle of the plane, thanks

  177. now miy big question is do u need 4gt or wifi? becuse if im on holiday trip and i dont have any kind of internet can i still use the drone then?

    1. Nope! All you need is a WiFi connection to the drone controller WiFi itself and you’re all set! The only reason you ever need a data connection is for when you are wanting to update the firmware of the drone

    1. Hi Ian! All of the DJI drones do not include a microphone in the camera as it would only result in loud propeller noise xD…The only way that a drone would have sound would maybe be if you put a GoPro onto a drone but even then, the sound wouldn’t sound good haha

  178. Thank you so much Carson! I literally just watched your video, flew my standard for the first time(successfully), and am writing this comment! I am 13 and was really nervous about flying it for the first time, and this video cleared it all up! Thanks!

  179. After much deliberation I have just invested in this drone and I watched quite a few of your videos and found them the best on Youtube and have subbed. Thanks for making such great concise videos – I’ll be preparing for my first flight on Saturday. 🙌🏻

  180. Just ordered one from Bestbuy this afternoon but they refuse provide any warranty..Does DJI offer one year warranty…Mine will be arrived this Thursday!!

  181. I noticed you took your drone up below the power lines, but in RTH it came in hot over the power lines? doesn’t RTH just reverse the flight?

    1. No, RTH returns to the home location set on a map. It does this so that it can take the fastest path to the home point opposed to going through an entire flight again before actually getting to the home point 🙂

  182. Thanks for the informative video. I ordered the Phantom 3 Standard and, unfortunately, had to return it. The seller tried to pass off a used drone as a new one. But, I’ll be bookmarking this video for when I get my new one (from a different seller!)

    1. Max Tivey I didn’t take it that way. I just wish I could name the place I bought it from so no one else gets stuck. Enjoy your flight!

    2. Max Tivey This one had a flaw. Someone had incorrectly inserted the SD card into the camera and it couldn’t be removed.

    3. I’ve just bought a used one, knowingly, with only 2 flights on it. It came with extras like a backpack bag (soft-shell) and a set of ND filters included, and for A$200 less than the new price. I’m very happy with it.

  183. Hey, nice job on the video! Simple and clear. Beautiful locale, too. Midwest? Thanks again-

  184. A Phantom 3 Standard Remote Controller uses Wi-Fi to communicate with the AC. If you put your phone in Airplane Mode you are switching off Wi-Fi which would mean no control.

    1. Yeah that’s true but as soon as you turn off airplane mode you can choose to turn on JUST WIFI if you’d like 🙂

    1. Hmm I don’t know I mean it is totally up to you but every drone handles differently so I would say maybe you should for at least the first flight and make sure you can become comfortable with the controls of the DJI Phantom 3 Standard before exiting that mode:). Fly safe!!

    1. Hi Noah! What I do is shoot every other video aspect of my videos from my iPhone 7+ and iPhone 6s in 4K. From the DJI Phantom 3 Standard itself, I shoot in 2.7K. After a video is all done recording, I import all of my footage into FCP (Final Cut Pro) X and set the project settings to 4K. After I’m done editing, I just simply export the video from FCP in 4K and voila, you’ve got a 4K video:). Hope this helps!!

  185. Thank you for the video, I’m considering getting the Phantom 3 as a step-up from a cheap “toy” drone I’ve had for a while. I have a couple of questions, if I may:
    1) is there any way to disable the “shut down in flight” function when pulling the sticks diagonally together, or at least set it so it needs to be done for a certain amount of time before it’s engaged? I understand it’s a kill switch, but it sounds a little terrifying that an accidental movement could turn it into a dropping stone. 🙂
    2) What is the value shown in the app to the right of the vertical speed?
    Thanks in advance!

    1. Hey there! Thanks so much for your reply, that’s quite reassuring about the shutdown maneuver. I suppose I’m very tentative because my experience with my Syma XC5-something has been frankly abysmal: that thing is very lightweight and sometimes gains altitude unexpectedly when being exposed to the wind (it’s actually called “wind bug” and it seems to be caused by a bug in the gyroscope firmware: instead of trying stabilizing itself into the wind, it tilts the other way round generating a sudden increase in lift) so I’ve often panicked with the controller! The Phantom 3 seems to be way easier to fly actually, and I suppose that being able to view what the drone is seeing also helps in orienteering when it’s turned backwards. Also thanks for the second answer, I had been wondering for weeks but nobody addressed that in any of the videos! Thanks again, you’re the king. 🙂

    2. Hello Daniele! First off, I would definitely suggest the DJI Phantom 3 Standard as a step up from that toy drone xD. Also:
      1.) No there isn’t any way to turn that off as it is used for emergencies and believe me you wouldn’t want it off…I myself have used the emergency shutoff function many times in crashing situations where if that wasn’t there, a crash may have been worse. I really haven’t ever run into any problems of accidentally descending, spinning right, turning left, and going backwards which is what would happen if you were able to put the controller sticks to the bottom right and bottom left corners if it wouldn’t shut off the motors. It just isn’t very likely so there shouldn’t be much to worry about haha.
      2.) That would be the distance the drone is from the set return-to-home point of the drone.
      No problem! I hope I was able to help and if you have any other questions, always feel free to contact me whenever!

  186. Just brought this drone this video will definitely help me out for my first flight thanks keep up the great work

    1. Carson Miller yes but unfortunately, one of the prop broken, but mine have is the cheap one and doesnt have altitude hold so its so hard to fly it 😣

    1. The model is the DJI Phantom 3 Standard and the pricing/where to buy is right in the description:). Hope this helps!

  187. 1-why do you have phone on cable to controler? are you charging or what?
    2-can you make ft fo meters?
    3-where storage the videos and photos you make? on phone or has drone sd card in?

    1. 1.) I have my iPhone plugged into my MacBook Pro to record my screen via Quicktime Player
      2.) Yes it’s very easy to change in settings (in fact, when you first download the app, it actually is set to meters by default and you have to change it to miles later if you would like)
      3.) The videos and photos you take are saved to both your mobile device as a lower quality and also in higher quality to a micro SD card on the camera of the drone itself. Hopefully this helps you out!

    1. @Pony Moore The Flying club in Lancaster Lancashire uk shares a field with cows and sheep and the are not bothered at all

    1. Do you mean WiFi? If you mean that…then yes haha you always need WiFi for the DJI P3 Standard as there is no other way to connect your phone through the app:)

  188. Would there be any chance of putting the sticks into the shut down position to carry out some kind of manoeuvre ?

    1. Hmm possibly but I sure would never try it xD if you do and get a cool result make sure to share it back with me:)

  189. question… if you go up to say 150 ft altitude in gps mode can you just take your hands off controller and it will hover and stay there?

    1. Correct! If you’d like to know more about the modes of the controller / drone I would suggest checking out my other video called, “In Depth Look at the DJI Phantom 3 Controller Modes”

  190. carson miller cab you help me my drone says always “no position atti and i never have any satellites. And just today i crashed my drone. Cause i had no satellites. Please help me

    1. Carson Miller i know what you mean exactly. We’ve got snow yesterday! 😫 (i am in poland btw). Got my phantom for two weeks and cant even fly! Where is the spring? 😉

    2. Thank you so much! And I hope to get some more videos out soon but it’s sadly been cold and raining recently where I live again and considering outside is my “set” then that’s a little bit of a problem….xD

    1. I typically leave my RTH altitude set to 40m (~131ft) which, around me, keeps the drone far clear of any obstacles such as trees and power lines. Hope this helps:)

  191. You ever have any problems with the video quality? I have a brand new phantom and I’m using a iphone7 to connect and when I fly it the picture is in like 480p. It also has video lag.

    1. I wouldn’t say I have had any problems but I have had the video feed drop before or it’s went to a low resolution such as 480p when flying long distances. If you’re having troubles getting a good image transmission from your drone to your phone during flight, there is a possibility that there is just a lot of interference near you such as many other WiFi signals. I would try moving far away from other WiFi signals and then try again and see if the image transmission improves.

      P.S. – Don’t worry about how the final image will look when it’s been recorded to the SD housed on the camera on the drone. Even if you have a bad image transmission to your controller/phone, the video should still look great when you take another look at the videos stored on that SD card:)

  192. what if you’re in the air, and you want to make your drone go left while you’re turning it left? It would just shut off and fall to its death? DJI didn’t think that through :/

    1. That should be fine it’s just when you bring the joysticks to the bottom corners that it shuts off as an emergency shut off

  193. hi! Carson i have some quistion for you i hope you can help me this i buy a used phantom 3 standard but the 1st owner the change the password i can not riset it so that i can put my own password i hope you can help me thanks..

    1. Hi Avelino! Resetting the Standard to the factory default WiFi password is as simple as performing 3 steps. To do this, follow these steps:

      1.) Turn on the controller.
      2.) Turn gimbal dial [located on the left upper part of the controller] to the far right.
      3.) While holding the gimbal dial in place, toggle the S2 switch back and forth at least 4 times.

      After completing these 3 steps, the remote will sound a long beep and the bigger power LED should flash if the SSID and password for WiFi have been reset correctly. Now, you can just open up your device settings and connect to your Phantom’s WiFi signal with a default password of 12341234. You can change this password if you wish later in the DJI Mobile app.

  194. Carson, I have learned so much from your videos, so is it ok to use after market replacement battery in the phantom 3 standard

    1. In other situations such as camera batteries I would a lot of the time say yes but in this case of a DJI Phantom I would like to say no. Although they are cheaper and look nearly identical to the DJI made batteries, they don’t always deliver the full amount of power to the drone that it needs. Also, the non DJI batteries aren’t as “smart” as the DJI version most of the time and the smart functionality is best for safety and compatibility. If you’d like to risk losing your drone sometime possibly I would day you could go for after market batteries but if you’d like to play it safe, I’d say make sure to buy a DJI certified battery:) Hope this helps!!

    1. Nope! If you have any problem such as this, for one that’s not good😬 but two I would suggest replacing the props and calibrating the IMU and then try taking off again

    1. I use an app called AZ Screen Recorder… on my phone and tablet. It allows me to record the screen with all the telemetry…. then I use a video editor to clean it up…. (to delete the footage of warm up, calibration…ugh)… but it works very well… no wires !

    2. The cable going from my phone is just for recording purposes…it is plugged into my iPhone and then I plugged that into my computer so then I could record my screen:/…sadly, only some of the higher up DJI quadcopters support plugging your phone into the controller itself.

  195. How long do the battery’s last on the DJI & if so how many do I need to get because I’m hoping to get mine in 2weeks time

    1. The battery typically only lasts me around 20-22 minutes before I have to land due to the battery being below 10%. I would suggest buying a second or third battery only if a.) you need a longer recording time and b.) asa long as you don’t plan on buying a Phantom 4 anytime soon as the batteries are roughly the same price (around $100) and they aren’t compatible with each other. :/

  196. I had to watch 20-30 “how to” videos but yours had all I needed.  Yours was concise and succinct.  Well done, Carson.

  197. Awesome! How much flying time do you get in a full Charge of batteries? How much are batteries for the drone? Does a battery charger come with the drone? And lastly, how long does it take to charge a battery pack?

    1. Thank you! Also, to answer your questions , I typically get around 20-22 minutes of flight time. For a new battery, the price is typically $90+ (I don’t currently know the price just check on Amazon). The charger does come with the drone. Lastly, to charge the drone battery fully it usually takes around 1hr20min – 1hr30min and for the controller it takes typically around 2 hours but, the controller stays charged for 5+ flights or longer.

  198. Good video dude!. I ordered one a few days ago and should be here by tomorrow.. watching your video will give me a heads up!. Thanks!!

    1. I just added this question to the top of the FAQ’s in the description of this video due to the frequency of this question:)…in short, I just used it as a way to record my iPhone screen.

    1. The reason I had a cable plugged into my phone while flying was so that I could capture my phone screen on my computer:). You could, however still be charging your phone while flying as it shouldn’t affect anything.

  199. thanks dude this really helped with setting up and learning how to fly my drone i liked and subbed because u deserve it

    1. Haha I wish there were an app I could use but what I have resorted to is just plugging my phone into my Macbook Pro and recording the screen with Quicktime :/ not the greatest solution because I have to deal with wires but, it works!

  200. I’m a 47 year-old dude and I am amazed at what this thing can do. I’m grateful that you made this video and shared the info on how to work it otherwise I’d be clueless. Thanks Carson!

  201. Such a helpful video!! Lmao love the cows. “As you can see they’re very interesting”. This would’ve been so helpful before I flew the first time hahaha I basically crashed when landing but it ended up fine HAHA will be using these tips for my abroad videos tho!

    1. We live on the crest of a hill, and I am actually a lot higher than the trees in front. Our last name is Hall, so I named our Christmas tree business Hallcrest.
      This drone flies quite high, and I did connect it up to my laptop, and I can see pretty darn far. I live in a very rural area, and no one talks to each other. This gets me out of the house, but living in Washington state it rains 98% of the time, and I do not like standing in the rain. I even tried it from the garage with the big door open, but my signal is not as good. It will take some time to get used to this drone, but it is fun trying.

    2. With this antenna the video range will actually be longer than the drone control range (varies by drone)

    3. You welcome ^_^. Actually I am drone newbie myself but I can think of any Ideas. The trees will weaken the signal of the drone… in this particular setup I might use flat panel antenna like this one :MS2415P. Range around 5 km. The only drawback is that you’d have to aim it at the part of the field the drone is flying at or ofcourse the drone itself. Options are limitless. I’ts up to you and the budget.

    4. Thank you so very much. You answered a lot of questions for me. I am dying to get this thing working and being able to see what is going on in the Christmas tree fields, as we have over 10 acres of Noble, Frasier, and Grands which are fir trees. That way when my crew arrives I can tell them exactly what rows need to be worked on instead of having to walk all over the place. I do use a small tractor to check the rows, but with the drone it will be a lot easier. You might get a chuckle out of this one, but with my drone I can check on a neighbor that I am sure has pot growing in their huge barn. Why else would they run a generator in a huge bar, and they have no horses?? LOL Thank you again, Fonnie Hall

    5. Not sure of that but if you like taking the risk of falling phone here is what I do:
      1 Samsung GT S5360 (a.k.a Young) attached the drone and phone or laptop to use as screen.
      Using an app called “IP Webcam” installed on the GT S5360 I can view live video feed trough the camera and even take pics. Enabling WiFi hotspot (tethering) enables me to share that video feed and connect as much devices (screens) as I want. Pros and cons:
      + See footage live on more than one device
      + Take Pics/Focused pics, Zoom In/Out, Use flashlight,
      + This app had night vision i guess ???
      + You can extend range with cheap WiFi antenna on ground.
      – So much WiFi can interfere with the drone controls and cause flyaway.
      – Risk of rain of phone (Ur phone goes down like a rock )

    1. When you have time, can you do a video on how to record from your iPhone to laptop when using the Phantom 3s, thanks.

    2. Yep it’s attached for recording purposes haha but other than that, there’s no place to plug in a USB on the controller if that’s what you may have been thinking haha

  202. Bro, you make really awesome vids! You even record in 4k!?!? You just explain the stuff perfectly. I subscribed the video before this. Which was the first video I saw of you anyway.

    1. Yeah I suppose I could I’ve just never thought of doing so before…great idea and I’ll take it into consideration the next time I make a video:)

    1. The height of which is legal to fly is based on local regulations…check your local laws to find out what is and what isn’t legal when flying your drone. For me, I live out in the country where very few planes ever pass over and if there are any they are commercial planes opposed to lower flying small planes.

  203. Quick question, if you’re out flying at a lower elevation some distance away and you utilize the return to home feature, will the drone first go to the set elevation before it makes its way back to the set home location? Thanks!

    1. Yes! When you initiate the RTH feature it does first go to the preset altitude and then returns to home at that altitude. Thanks for checking out the video:)

  204. Thanks for that Carson, I have dithered for a few days before taking mine out and your video gave me the confidence to tackle it. Good Job 🙂

    1. +Brandon Campbell I will once spring 2017 comes around haha because i live in northern indiana where it is currently very cold and winter-y…i will though once it stops being that way! 😉

    1. When using the auto take off button, what it does is makes the drone take off itself and hover around ~4 feet above the ground:)

  205. Hey Carson great video for this old man to understand this new standard 3 i got for Christmas. I notice on your phone you had a different set up like poi,follow me…..etc is this an upgrade or are we flying with different software. My software maybe does 1/3 of what you got would be interested in seeing how to up grade these features. Again thanks ……. Great Video

    1. +Joe Sanchez I’m so glad I could help! Also with the app looking different, are you using android? For some people, the iOS app has been having a lot more features than the android app:/

  206. bro one last question ,, is your dji phantom 3 has a “SAFE TO FLY GPS” WORD In your app?
    because mine i’ve got 12 sattelite but its only “FLY With GPS” its dji standard has a “SAFE TO FLY GPS ” IN Its telemetry? hehe

  207. Just got my P3 standard today Carson, thanks for the great video it helps me out a lot. I’ve got an XK detect x380 which is cool. But I wanted a camera platform that I could just fire everything up and get great video. I’m going to check out your other videos also, stay cool.

    1. Haha thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed the video:) also, you’ll have so much fun with that good luck flying

  208. Your videos are some of the most helpful ones I could find. Thanks for providing good info and communicating effectively. That seems to be a lost art these days (especially on YouTube). Keep the videos coming! Would love to see more in depth stuff like showing all the other stuff droners need to know and all the other app functions. Thanks!

    1. +Wrecks Haha thank you so much! I’m planning on getting to more drone videos once spring/summer rolls back around in Indiana!!

  209. Been looking in the EU warehouse https://goo.gl/RldSKv I will pick from the 25 here to get it faster. I am like the Hubsan X4 H501C but unsure if this is suitable for me as I have never flown ? Is there something better i should consider out of them ? Nice video.

    1. +Lewis Andrews Sadly, with the Phantom 3 Standard controller you can’t use an iPad on the controller without modding it due to the phone holder only working as a phone holder…modding is pretty simple though just look up on youtube, “Phantom 3 Standard Controller Mod” and some videos should come up:)

  210. Great info!
    I see your phone is plugged in but don’t see the other end so is it plugged into the controller?
    If not can you do it and what would happen.

    Can you operate the drone without a phone by just turning them on and pushing lifted off.

    1. +Tyrone Patterson Nope it’s not plugged into the controller it’s plugged into my Macbook Pro so that i can record my iPhone screen haha…also no there is nowhere on the DJI P3 controllers to plug in USB to the phone (that only exists on the P4 and up because of light bridge technology)…and finally, yes I believe you can although I haven’t fully tried it before I don’t see why not but, I would highly suggest against doing so because you won’t be able to tell the stats of the drone such as the battery %, ATT, Distance, etc. and also if you’d ever need to RTH then it would be more difficult without the phone.

    1. +Larry Lynch Nope. Not every time but I would suggest doing it every so often, especially in new locations as the compass calibration would be different. Thanks for watching my video:)

  211. Thanks helped my so much ! But one question, how did you get the speed and altitude to show on your screen ? I have updated my Dji app

    1. No need smartasss airplane mode is because the phones signals are going to interrupt the navigating system CHARLES COBIDIOT
