DJI Intelligent Flight Modes: FULL Instruction

DJI just released on Sept 7th the latest firmware for the Phantom 3 and Inspire 1 that enables Intelligent Flight Modes. Including: Course Lock, Home Lock, Point-Of-Interest, Waypoints, & Follow Me (AVAILABLE NOW ON BOTH INSPIRE AND P3). See how to successful enable these modes in the app, and then see them in action. DJI products always in stock, www.tvspeciali...

This is the COOLEST Phantom video I have seen yet! You are an excellent instructor Sir, you explained things in detail yet you didn't get so technical I couldn't follow you. I honestly feel like I can go out and repeat the lessons you shared here. Again Thank You!

[@Tvspecialists]

+John Archer thanks for watching! Thanks for the compliments!

[@markb4593]

Really good information for a newbee like me

[@LivingWithTheGuzmans]

Cool nice video thanks.

[@intothemadlands]

Is it possible for the "follow me" option to follow a different device other than yourself? For example, if you wanted it to follow an actor or an object without getting yourself in the shot?

[@Tvspecialists]

Yes, it's called Active Track. Learn about it in our Part 2 video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qICmkJqroK2CqKM Thanks for watching and we hope you'll subscribe!

[@bigrickshaberdashery2759]

Thanks James, I'm flying the Phantom 3 Pro and love this app truly extended its life.

[@dommbrown]

Cheers chap very informative for a soon to be a new user.

[@andrewdelamere5601]

Hi. I am new to drones and live in the UK. I have a P3A and use DJI go v 3.1.64. I was excited to see this video on intelligent flight modes and hoped to enable them on my P3A. I successfully updated the firmware to v 01.11.0020 on my P3A and handset. I then watched your instructional video again. Unfortunately none of the exciting new modes are appearing on my app and in fact your instructions don't match the menus I see. I can get into flight simulator mode in a slightly different manner to you but then there is no way of bringing up the intelligent flight modes after flicking the switch two clicks left away from P mode. Do you know if DJI have made intelligent flight modes in the UK.

[@winslowwhite4003]

Thanks for a great video. I am using the DJI GO app more now as I became over confident with the LITCHI app, which is great, but I enjoy having more control over my actions. Thanks again.

[@RLRR-LRLL-Dar]

Full instruction my ass! How many times did you say "I'm not going to get into this mode because frankly it's not new" Okay fine, I'll just find a tutorial by a different instructor. Meanwhile you should edit the title of your video to read "Partial or Half Assed Instruction", that way providing a more accurate description of your videos content or lack of content.

[@eastlandheightsbymegaworld431]

How to you adjust thr camera to focus on the subject while in point of interest mode when you go up higher or down lower? thanks

[@deanovshak999]

I noticed most seem to connect the phone with the controller via USB. Is this only for battery? Or is there another reason? Also, the one thing I hated with the P3 was only the phone connected could look at the image. I have a P3 Standard now. Is there a way to show it on another screen at the same time? I am using Android ..Thanks!!

[@vinnywilliams833]

is there a flight simulator mode for DJI MAVIC PRO PLATINUM??? how do we access it???

[@IslandDigital]

I watched again , How did you get the video from your IPhone onto the large TV behind you , Airplay withApple TV? Also can what is being seen on the screen be recorded ? I mean can I put telemetry onto the video the camera is recording ? Thanks again your videos are excellent.

[@rakotondrasoahary5795]

I have phantom 3 standard, I just completely update it. But when I switch the mode to F mode the notification doesn't pup up, I cannot play the flight mode , so sad how can I fix it please?

[@Toad8701]

nice video great help, will try that, I have a question, ihave a new p3 advantage it jumps out of signal, while flying, it ask me, fly home, or cancel , I have cancelled and back tracked on the APP and it has reset , this happened about 3 times on a small flight, within sight, both ariel are straight and pointing towards me, is this a problem with the p3`s , can you help please, your sincerely Brian

[@Tvspecialists]

+BRIAN HALL latest firmwares need to be installed. Do not skip firmwares. Start with oldest and work your way to the most recent. Within those firmwares are "battery optimizations," such as flying in cold weather and giving temperature warnings, etc. This should help.

[@SarahC2]

Is that training program for the Phantom available to the public?

[@rameshtahlan26]

Super, The best video on Phantom4 i have seen. Clears all doubts, and exponentially increases confidence. WOW.

[@kimpedersen9575]

If my way points are 1000 yards or more away and i lose line of site what will happen? Is this dangerous?

[@DeltadronesBr]

I thought it might select waypoints by touching in the map. I have 14 minutes to fly and I will spend half the time doing distants checkpoints.

[@billpapier4298]

bill p You are great!!!!!.....but....: My experience before buying a Phantom 3 advance (flown 4 times only)used, was flying a Bugs 2w. There is a subject that maybe for an expert is nothing, but for me is unknown land. When in Points of interests, how do you mark aa POI? Will it be with the little drop and the H sign or is some device of the RC? thanks in advance for the helper

[@Tvspecialists]

We're glad that our videos have been beneficial! For instruction on the intelligent flight modes we recommend watching our two other videos produced. Thanks for watching, and we hope you'll subscribe! kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3zNoGh_qdl5rrM kzbin.info/www/bejne/qICmkJqroK2CqKM

[@fruwaukoo]

So I have to shoot every hole of an 18 hole golf course Sat/Sun. Test flew today and I have to say it's trickier than I thought. Here is my question. Can you implement the way points AND point of interest at the same time? Meaning can I place my way points from tee box to green then place my point of interest marks then fly the route? The craft world then fly from: WP1 - Tee box WP2 - Fairway WP3 - Green POI - around the green Will these two work with each other? Any tips would be helpful if anyone has flown this. Thanks.

[@Tvspecialists]

Unfortunately, there isn't a way to combine the Flight Modes with the DJI Go App. All of DJI's systems, however, are open to SDK. So if you understand app development, and computer programming, then you could contact the DJI SDK team to give you the kit to help you get started, and then it's up to your imagination and be able to program whatever you'd like it to do. I know the app Autopilot is a very popular and much more accurate way to implement flight modes, but I'm not certain if even in that app you can combine multiple flight modes. Thanks for watching, and don't forget to subscribe.

[@Flyboytr]

Excellent instructional video. Thanks!

[@guyyoung7459]

Thank you, New owner DJI Phantom 3 Advanced, first flights today, tried follow me and point of interest and couldn't get it to work, after coming home I watched your video and it was very clear I was the problem, have to admit DJI is smooth, I'm Hooked

[@Tvspecialists]

+guy young terrific! :)

[@darkgentleman1502]

Hey James great videos. Hey i have a question. I have or had dji phantom 3 standard. This past Friday I was flying it outside of my house as usual. I had a good gps (11 satellite). Home point was confirmed on the map. Took off everything was fine in the middle of the flight i got a firmware update. I cancel the update and then I lost all control over the bird... Have you ever heard of this??

[@Tvspecialists]

We're sorry to hear about this. This is the first occurrence we've heard of during flight. We recommend you contact the dealer from whom you purchased for additional support.

[@westplays1037]

Why no love for the phantom 3 standard? The standard doesn't operate this way.

[@LuisAlbertoAriascrc]

Hi, I like very much your videos, but can you go deeper or explain a litle better about the two maps the App has in left and write corners? Thanks

[@LuisAlbertoAriascrc]

I mean the lowers left and rights corners. Thx

[@Tvspecialists]

Not much more to explain. They are maps that give you a bird's eye view of where your copter is at. There's not much instruction to give, but you can't draw (with your finger) a flight plan out, or set waypoints, on the map and have it fly that route. You can trace a "guide" to help you follow a particular path, but it's all manual. Or it can record the flight path you just flew. But mainly, it's just used as a reference.

[@jimmycoyote1414]

can anyone out there tell me for 100% positive, (meaning you have used it yourself). will a Samsung Galaxy S5 4G LTE by straight talk and sold at Wal-Mart work with the DJI Phantom 3 Professional? thank you.

[@pooleaxe]

The icon you feature does not appear (2:13) as indicated on my screen. However, I have discovered that to access the menu to set course lock etc the RC icon appears where your home point marker is ( Immediately above the map), click on that and the menu comes up. This is probably due to latest firmware updates ??

[@Tvspecialists]

You are correct. In fact, many of the items you see on this video don't have the same layout as it was created well over a year ago, and DJI has updated their interface. Please subscribe, as we will be releasing in a few days an updated flight mode video by popular demand. Thanks for watching!

[@KennethColeStatenIsland]

Very good instructions, thanks

[@Tvspecialists]

Thank you! We feel honored to have received a positive comment from the infamous Kenneth Cole! ;);)

[@qaiserbabka2429]

plz does the information for inspire2 how to fly the drone with remote controller

[@Elmercuaton]

hello i just recieved my phantom 3 pro. after i sent back to china for fixing but the problem is the DJI intelligent flight mode is gone i cannot locate it and i cannot upgrade my RC to the newest firmware pls help. thanks.

[@Tvspecialists]

We recommend you contact the dealer from whom you purchased it for more detailed assistance.

[@Ambayplasticsurgery]

Great tutorial!! When I do way points of POI can i create a path I want the drone to fly and change altitudes automatically and have the drone remember that flight path? I am trying to take video of a building where one side of the building has tall trees so the drone must fly higher, and the back has no trees so the drone should fly lower, followed by the side with trees (drone higher) and the front with no trees (fly lower and then drone goes toward front entrance low. Thanks

[@Tvspecialists]

Using the DJI Go app, you must physically fly the route and set the waypoints along the way. Yes, it will maintain the altitudes that you set per waypoint. And yes, it will remember the route as a "mission" you flew so that you can fly it again, and will allow you to save up to three missions. Thanks for watching, don't forget to subscribe!

[@Michael_00001]

In the "follow me" mode, does the camera stay oriented towards you if you choose the "my position" setting while, let's say, travelling down the road in a vehicle including camera pitch?

[@Tvspecialists]

+Michael Kirst the camera will stay oriented towards your position yes.

[@ToddtheLoneDroner]

My remote control my remote control does not look to same as yours mine has three switches and p/s/a and a why do you think that is I'm talking about the brand new DJI 4

[@Tvspecialists]

This video was produced on Sept 2015 when the Phantom 3 Pro was fairly new. The P4 wasn't even thought of yet, but yes, your P4 will have p/s/a. We recommend watching our P4 instructional video kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJ_LoJ2bmKqiqsk

We recommend you contact the dealer from whom you purchased the system, or try DJI support through live chat or [e-mail]

[@chinky1412]

There's been an update follow me mode works now as for devices you don't need a GPS device the inspire quad and controller have GPS

[@jacekdudek9763]

very good video. great interraction

[@Toad8701]

thanks for your reply, I will check, I no it has the latest firm ware, which I had downloaded when I got it, I have another question if you don't mind, on the remote at the back the small usb port we re talking advantage not pro 3, can you run a monitor from it, or what is it there for, I no the pro3 has the HDMI port which the advantage hasn't regards Brian

[@Tvspecialists]

+BRIAN HALL the mini USB is for potential firmwares, but micro sd is the quickest way. And the P3 Pro does not have an HDMI port. It is a separate module that is purchasable, see here: www.tvspecialists.com/product/DJIP3HDMIOM/ HDMI output on the radio is only standard in the DJI Inspire series of quadcopters.

[@Toad8701]

+TV Specialists, Inc  Thank you for that , I thought it was on the dji pro 3 as well as the inspire, what I was trying to  do  was to use an external monitor or goggles because I have trouble seeing the screen on the control unit, and not have to purchase the overpriced module,  thank you for your help Brian in the UK its £80 + + postage your US price is less

[@616Drones]

Nicely done James, thanks for the tip. in a few weeks I'll be getting a DJI Phantom 3 Adv. so wish me luck!

[@felixbleichenbacher6492]

James, great tutorials, learnt a lot, thanks for that! One thing I still did not find out is the following: I plan to fly my Phantom 4 from a moving sailboat. I would like the drone to return to the moving sailboat by the push of a button. RTH would be the best option. However, is it possible to define "Home" as being a moving target? Could maybe the (permanently updated) GPS-position of the RC on the yacht be defined as "Home"? What other option would be best, e.g. "TapFly" plus manual steering for the final landing approach? Or stall the yacht and then redefine the "Home" position to the yacht's current position? What is your recommendation? Anybody?

[@mrsmedly9094]

Just to save anyone else the frustration, there is NO question mark to click on and NO Flight Simulator for ANDROID!

[@combatvet711]

Very well executed on the different Intelligent Flight modes for the P3's in general. Your future video's I hope will be as informative as this one was. Have a quick question? How long did it take you to upload this video to KZbin and what were the settings you used? Thanks.

[@SuAmigoElilegal]

got a question here! if I'm operation in the lock mode, and the drone is away from me with the head facing any position instead of me or home point. if the drone losses signal, and there are obstacles on the way, is the drone gonna cancel this mode or co to us on locked mode and head back to me with the head facing other direction but home or to me. will this increase chances of crashing​ or the drone to get confuse ?

[@Tvspecialists]

The Phantom 4 has obstacle avoidance sensors that face front only. The Phantom 4 Pro has sensors that face the front and rear of craft.

[@Robnord1]

This was great, thank you ! Recently got my P3A, and the manual leaves a lot to be desired. This was clear and well explained. When the rain quits I'm going out to practice these.

[@utube091116]

Good tuto. But please look for another flight demo place. Public parking lot next to busy road= not done.

[@Tvspecialists]

+dxtrty thank you for the warning. We are Section 333 Exemption holders and always ensure top levels of safety measures are taken before every flight. We appreciate the concern.

[@farmerbob1983]

In POI mode.. does it work with a moving target? lets say circling a running boat. Is it possible?

[@Tvspecialists]

Unfortunately the POI intelligent mode does not work with moving objects; including the Phantom 4 even though it has object recognition to follow, but not in POI. Your subject must remain stationary to circle around. We don't doubt, though, that DJI has already had these thoughts and is perhaps something they're developing.

[@amirneshati4839]

Great tutorial, really good to see the software on the large screen following the simulator, then the actual flight outdoors. Very helpful.

[@Tvspecialists]

+Amir Neshati Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!

[@IslandDigital]

Thank you very Informative , nicely explained I have a question: In Waypoints , can each waypoint be edited? Can you go to waypoint 1 and have it go to 35 feet for 25 seconds, then go to next waypoint and have it go to 40 ft. Then the next and so on. So different heights and stay times? Thanks

[@Tvspecialists]

Not within the DJI Go App. Because DJI leaves their systems open to SDK, there are many 3rd party apps that are chucked full of more options available within the flight modes. Popular apps are Autopilot or DroneDeploy.

[@IslandDigital]

TV Specialists, Inc Great info. Thanks very much !

[@brijeshgupta7836]

very nice

[@Hookster57]

Nice video but what's that thing on your thumb?

[@brooklyndrones2813]

You can also increase/decrease the radius in flight in POI mode. Great feature.

[@WaveReflections]

For POI: If you HIDE the POI settings overlay, how would you get it back (re-display it)?

[@Tvspecialists]

+WaveReflections the intelligent flight modes symbol up top near center of screen, touch that again.

[@WaveReflections]

+TV Specialists, Inc - I knew it had to be there somewhere! Easy enough - thanks!

[@knightsanan]

If we record the way points and want camera to always lock the focus on the subject , rather then pointing in the direction of flight , how can we do that ?

[@Tvspecialists]

On your smart device, simply touch the subject you wish to focus on, and then on the upper right corner there is a focus lock, then start your waypoint route.

[@jdaveca]

Very informative video! I just ordered my Phantom 3 Advanced (supposed to be here sometime next week) and have been looking for educational videos. Yours is by far the best that I've seen! One question however on the Waypoint Flying. Can you set the Waypoints without actually flying them? In other words, can you set Waypoints "off-line" via your tablet / smart-phone and then have the Phantom fly the route, or do you have to actually fly the route and set them as you go? Many thanks!

[@jdaveca]

Not with the DJI-GO app. Apparently you can do this with the Litchi app, however I haven't bought it as I'm a bit skittish about using a 3rd party app with my $1000 drone. There are lots of videos of people using it, and I'll probably get it and try it at some point as the Litchi app seems to have additional functionality that the DJI-GO app doesn't.

[@Tvspecialists]

Unfortunately, through the DJI Go app, there isn't a way to do waypoints without flying. However, there is an app that is full of awesomeness called, Autopilot. It's 3rd party, not DJI, but the programming, accuracy, and abilities it adds are essential for advanced users.

[@rczone9830]

Hello sir... I have phantom 4 and I am using with trun off distance limit. I want to fly far away upto 4 to 5 km but 😢 I can't go over 950 meters. battery timing also 20 to 22 mint. when I go over 950 meters controller shows weak signals and than no signal so return to home back. I am very desperate to brought phantom 4. please suggest me what should I do now. thanks Salman Razi

[@YoIamBobby]

Hey Salman did you find a way to fly it up to 4,5 km?

[@rczone9830]

+YoIamBobby yessssss

[@bellinghamwow]

Ah - just found a similar inquiry below. Can['t wait for that firmware update. That would be WAY COOL!

[@GeorgeBonez]

Hey Gguys I have used the auto I have used the auto takeoff button on my new Phantom 3 4 k but I have not use the Auto Land button because im not sure what will happen. When I press the auto land feature will it just sit down right where it is or will it climb to is RTL altitude first? is Autoland and RTL two different features? or are they the same thing??

[@Tvspecialists]

Auto land and RTH are two different features. Auto land will land directly below of its current location. We actually never use the Auto takeoff and land features; we prefer to land on our own, but the feature is there if you do like it.

[@GeorgeBonez]

+TV Specialists, Inc why don't you ever use these features? Do you consider it you be cheating or something? I like taking off and landing on my own too. I just want to make sure I understand these features in case I hit a button by accident or something which ive done on other aircraft btw. haha

[@Tvspecialists]

Not a feeling of cheating, just the feeling of control. With the Phantom, I actually never land it. I grab it by it's 3rd leg (the left leg without the compass module) and hold on to it firmly with my right hand, and power down the craft with my left hand by holding down the throttle for 3 seconds.

[@GeorgeBonez]

+TV Specialists, Inc I have recently learned to hand-land my Phantom to. its just the smart thing to do in my book especially if you take off and land or fly short missions like I do. most of the mishaps that I have is landing and some rogue gust of wind causes it to tip over. hell I think DJI should mount a landing handle to the aircraft and encourage people to land this way. ha

[@corkyoung4655]

my gimble gets HOT in flight simulation mode it cant be good for the camera.i took my gimblr clamp off

[@Tvspecialists]

Yes it will get hot simply because it's not being cooled through flight. Have yet to see any customers have failed gimbals/cameras from flight simulator mode, but I probably wouldn't advise doing the simulator longer than 10 min. sessions. Thanks for watching and we welcome your subscribe!

[@MattiaManciniAlunno]

Very good video!!! Better than the DJI officials! A question: how the airplane manage the different altitudes in the waypoints mode? because I saw that registering different altitude waypoints cause "robotic" and vertical altitude modifications that seems that the plane is falling down or going to the moon... I've not understand the mechanism... Why is not fluid?

[@Tvspecialists]

That's just the limit of DJI's app. There are other 3rd party apps that can offer better waypoint flying options. Drone Deploy, or Autopilot are popular apps.

[@MattiaManciniAlunno]

TVS Pro Wowww! Thanks!

[@stephen1991]

Great video. I'm new to the P3P and while waiting for additional batteries to arrive I've been handicapped with just one pack. Between that and the weather I don't get a lot of practicing in with the new modes and just getting acquainted with the new model. Your video is concise and informative. Thank you.

[@dochabusu-tube410]

Of all the instructions I have seen, this one is by far, the most concise and clear. Thanks a million. Zebra I

[@SuAmigoElilegal]

Does this phantom 4 has a mic or no mic build in. ?

[@peterbruyneel805]

If i try to do the follow me mode, it keeps telling me there are not enough gps satellites, even if my app is showing google maps??

[@Tvspecialists]

The app needs to show at least 7 satellites, and the radio also needs to be free from obstruction. The copter follows the radio itself; it has a GPS unit installed inside. For further assistance we recommend you contact the dealer from whom you purchased for one on one support.

[@dbchet]

Really good explanation, it helped a lot thank you. One suggestion is that since it is a long video, the time for each mode can be put in the description so that people can simply click and go to the mode they want to watch. For example: 10:00-15:00 : Course Lock 15:00-19:00 : Home Lock

[@israelpinedo2103]

I just updated the firmware and starting using this features, but in the "Follow me" mode I'm having trouble keeping my subject inside the video frame. Any tips?

[@Tvspecialists]

+isonemancrew Pine There is most definitely a delay in the response from the P3 to your actual movement. Best idea is to increase your altitude and distance from subject to help cushion the delay in response.

[@israelpinedo2103]

I will try that. Thank you!

[@jaafilm]

I got phantom 3 standard , I need to get remote for it I am having trouble find one ,where can i get it? Thanks

[@Tvspecialists]

Johnny J, hope you found the video beneficial. Thanks for subscribing! The P3 radio is not something we keep in stock, but shouldn't be too difficult to find either through DJI.com directly or through eBay, etc. Good luck and happy flying!

[@richardmoreci3840]

Have not seen it like this. Awesome. Thank you. Experienced at Radio control but new at DJI.

[@jamesryanphoto]

There is a way to draw the route on the map. I found it and can't remember where I found it?

[@Tvspecialists]

+jamesryanphoto When in camera view, touch the map on the lower left hand side. Then on the right side there is a symbol of a "drawing finger." Select that, and now you can draw a flight guide.

[@Tvspecialists]

+jamesryanphoto If you touch the google map on the bottom left side it will swap with the camera view. Making the map the main screen. There will be, on the right side, a "guide" route drawer. It will not fly this route you drew, it's just used a guide so that you can manually fly the route you just drew. Maybe someday soon it will do that.

[@notny41]

Great video - very helpful - thank you! Love the point of interest and the waypoints!

[@Rsthelen]

is there a certain amount of waypoints you can set say is 10 maximum or unlimited? thank you

[@Tvspecialists]

I don't believe there is a limit to the amount of waypoints, but there is a limit to the quantity of missions,3. Thanks for watching, and we welcome the subscribe!

[@jackbosshard4502]

Thanks for your fine presentation. Towards end of September I made a first waypoint following trial with my PH 3 prof in connection with an iPad mini and the iPhone as wlan hotspot. A lot of GPS sats in view. After programming some waypoints at low altitude (3...5...8m) and start of the mission the PH 3 suddenly (a few seconds after start) turned on his back and has fallen on the lawn (no dammage). A test flight in course lock afterwards was normal. Do you have an explanation? Is there a spec on a minimum height? My vendor sent the flight logs which I cannot read to DJI with no response up to now.

[@Tvspecialists]

+Jack Bosshard My first question would be if a compass calibration was executed prior to flight? These should be done every time you fly (truthfully every time you change locations, or you change time of day), it never hurts to do it; always helps. Also, if it had taken a fall previously, checking the health of the IMU is necessary. Even it had never taken a fall before, I check the IMU just about every 4-6 flights. It's real simple: open DJI Go app and go to camera view, touch upper right copter symbol (MC Settings), scroll down to "sensors", scroll down and touch "check IMU". It will do a brief check on the system for airworthiness. It's all in the manual, but Gyro "Mod" value should be 0.0 (with little movement), Acceleration "Mod" should be 1.00 (with almost no movement), and the Compass "Mod" 1500-1800 (shouldn't move around more than 100 points). Hope this is helpful. Thanks for watching!

[@jackbosshard4502]

Thanks, I will test it. Some questions: Have I to start the waypoint following with apply at the home point or waypoint 1? Can you read i.e. Interpret the fly logs files as I did not yet receive an aswer of DJI. Best regards Jack

[@Tvspecialists]

+Jack Bosshard We're not sure we completely understand your question, but if we think we do, then you will set waypoints before you touch apply

[@Tvspecialists]

Our sentiments exactly! LOL While we can't please everyone, we find comfort that we are able to provide quality training for the majority! If I were to put myself in a bystander's shoes, the only complaint I would have is that the app doesn't look the same. Well, people don't realize this video was created a year and a half ago. The Phantom 4, Mavic, or DJI Go 4 app hadn't been invented yet. The interface may be different, but the knowledge hasn't changed. Thank you for watching and we welcome the subscribe!

Hi James. Although I am not the representative here, I can tell you with full confidence that your Android was what the dji go app was designed to operate on. Apple ios followed. Enjoy.

[@TimothyGoetz]

this is interesting. I just got a drone and was looking at buying an iPad mini for a larger display than my iPhone. I could get an Android tablet at 1/2 the cost. the DJIgo app works well on android?

[@Uran_666]

Hi there can you please explain how to view the flight simulator on large tv because i can only see what the camera sees it won't show the flight simulator on tv thank you.

[@Tvspecialists]

In this example, we used "Airplay" to an Apple TV from the smart device, but both the device and Apple TV need to be on the same WiFi network. The other way of doing it is to use the HDMI output on the radio to connect to a flat panel. The HDMI module is only included on the Inspire radios, but can install the HDMI module for the P3 and P4.

[@Uran_666]

TV Specialists, Inc Yes but when i use HDMI i only see what the camera sees when i go in to flight simulator it doesn't show anything i think it only works with airplay if you have apple tv thank you.

Looking forward to watching many more of your DJI videos, will have an Inspire 1 V2.0 delivered to me today, before this I have been flying , very shakily so, a DJI Flamewheel 450 with no camera attached. I am looking forward to having the many modes available in the newer quadcopter! I am glad I found your channel.

Great to hear! Glad it's helpful! Thanks for subscribing!

Can the phantom 3 standard do any of these intelligent flight modes

[@TheMadHatter1330]

great job with this tutorial 👍 I feel confident that I can pull this off... someone hold my beer 😜

[@soewithanumber]

Drinking and flying is dangerous!

[@Tvspecialists]

Gonna have to agree with Gamebit. Please be responsible!

[@callahanlandsurveying5895]

This question has probably already been asked, but do you have to fly the drone to each waypoint to store them or can you just tap on the screen and store them?

[@lawrencewallace7501]

I saw a DJI tutorial vid that shows you have to fly the course first, setting points as you go. That way you can concentrate on controlling the camera as it flies the course you programmed. And, I heard the Litchi app has it where you can just touch the screen, and your bird will fly the course you set.

[@Tvspecialists]

DJI just released this week an iPad only app called DJI GSP (Ground Station Pro). That app will allow you to set waypoints before taking off. Other 3rd party apps such as Autopilot or Drone Deploy will also allow you to pre-flight set waypoints. However, within the DJI Go app yes you do need to physically fly the route and set the waypoints along the way.

Questions: (keep in mind: I'm a novice) 1) c/point of int,....does the drone recognize if it will crash within the arc or circle that's it's "told" to fly in...or just crash if something is in the way in altitude? 2) In follow me mode..."same question"...does the drone "know" by virtue of detectors if it may imminently crash...if following someone/thing? Ex.) "I'm in a corn field...then a walk into a forest with trees at ~70'..and the drone is flying at 40'....will it detect and increase in altitude of crash into the nearest tree?

[@Tvspecialists]

1) the obstacle avoidance only detects what is directly in front of it. In POI it is rolling to its right or left, so no, it will crash into something on it's side. 2) in order for it to detect an object for 'active track,' it has to have clear line of sight. So in that situation, of a forest, it will lose recognition and just stop at the edge of the forest. Hypothetically, though, it would most likely just stop and not increase it's altitude to continue to follow anyways.

I have a 3 standard. There is a blank space on my app where there is supposed to be the intelligent flight modes. Help please.

[@Michael_00001]

+Larsen Kinsaul When you are flying try the S1 toggle on the right side of the controller. Pull it down (towards you). I believe that will open the intelligent flight mode screen. Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

[@athenacody]

That is correct! Thank you so much!

[@brentfairley3550]

+Larsen Kinsaul which firmware you useing

[@CNCmachiningisfun]

This may seem like a silly question, but can you add altitude variations to the way point list, or is it all done at a single altitude?

[@Tvspecialists]

If you change the altitude from point A to B, for example, then it will automatically add an even graded slope. So yes, it will adjust altitudes from point to point.

[@CNCmachiningisfun]

TV Specialists, Inc Thanks kindly. I think that will make the resulting flight videos look truly amazing :) . I am really looking forward to flying mine soon, but the weather has been pretty bad recently.

[@Tvspecialists]

Practice these flight modes on the simulator, just like in the video. This is a great way to become familiar with zero risk.

[@CNCmachiningisfun]

TV Specialists, Inc Yup, will do. In this rotten winter weather, this appears to be my only option :) .

[@KodyKline]

Great work. I learned a lot from your video. Keep it up.

[@chesleywrobinsonjr7001]

Thanks very useful !!!!!

[@gransha3]

Real professional and helpful video thanks James, a breath of fresh air.

[@aliahmetyanik]

Very clear and definite explanation. Thanks a lot my friend...

[@dheller777]

When you switch to course lock do you no longer have GPS hold for stability?

[@Tvspecialists]

Course lock will still allow GPS to operate.

[@DrGreg28]

GREAT vid! Thanks for the Intel! Cheers...

[@maov3781]

Hi! I have watched your videos and they are very instructive thanks for them! I have been trying to update my new Mavic pro for 3 times, but when I try to download the update it takes so long until the battery is completely discharged. I noticed that when the battery goes down after 50% to 30% it starts making noises and I try to turn off the control and the Macvi of the buttons, but it does not work to the point that I have to let it completely discharge the batteries .I think another reason which it takes a lot of time for the update is because when I turn on the Macvi and the control the internet signal in my house goes away for a while. Are you think that the Mavic has something to do with the Wi-fi in my house is gone? I appreciate any help!

[@Tvspecialists]

No problem! Thanks for watching and we welcome your subscribe!

[@maksimfesenko2255]

Wait... whats all this ?? i have the latest firmware . I dont have this?? Did they cancel it or something ? how do i get it ?

[@Tvspecialists]

DJI has slightly rearranged location of intelligent flight modes accessibility since this video was products. The Inspire 1 series, Phantom 3 Advanced/Pro, and Phantom 4 all have these features.

[@maksimfesenko2255]

Where did they place it ? I cant find it anywhere.

[@AerialLensVideo]

Outstanding! Thank you for this really clear explanation and demo. A Keeper!

[@kdkcphotos]

Great video. Thank you!!

[@TheYammerAm]

How did you get the simulator to display on your TV?

[@Tvspecialists]

+Emma Barker airplay to an Apple TV that's connected to the TV via HDMI.

[@ggiemax7751]

Does this work with the Phantom 3 Standard as well?

[@Tvspecialists]

The modes that the P3 Standard are capable of are: waypoint, course & home lock, point of interest, and follow me.
