DJI Phantom 4 Course Lock Intelligent Flight MODE

[@frankd7955]

Because of your videos, I have pretty much mastered flying the Phantom 4. Now I have to work on filming. Your videos are very helpful. Thanks!!!!

[@828droneguy]

I just purchased my Phantom 4 three days ago. Scared to fly it until I finish these videos. Keep up the great work and thank you!

[@jimlips]

Nice video. Took me four tries to find a video I actually understood what the host was talking about. You were it! Thanks!

[@tommy7451]

Thanks again. I have got to learn how to show my drone control and video at the same time like you did.... great teaching tool. Thanks for not leaving out a step in your instructions. They are very clear.

[@ralls41]

Bill, as the proud new owner of a P4, I find your videos incredibly informative and helpful and much superior to many of the "tutorials" out there that are high on production value and highly technical.

[@josephholder5472]

Just now getting around to using this thing and this is deff. helping

[@Titus10thAD]

I'm new to all this flying. I have just purchase the DJI phantom 4 and can't wait to get in to an open space to fly my own with all the confidents you have given me. A great and very well explained video, the best I have scene. Many thanks, Tiron.

[@tommyheuges4274]

Just got the phantom 4 for my son. We are having a great time using it together and love your instructional video's. thanks for the help- we'll look for more.

[@BillNicholsTV]

Thats awesome Tommy! Great thing to share with your son - happy new year!

[@terrykolton]

Very good presentation. Easy and to the point.

[@nicholaspuchetti2557]

Looking to purchase a P-4 Pro, my first drone, and checking out all of the information available. I came across you video and am very impressed. Stellar job in putting together the tutorials! I just subscribed to your TV channel. Thank you for posting these tutorials! I will be watching your channel as I plunge into the industry! Excited! Thanks again, we'll done!

[@BillNicholsTV]

RIght on NIcholas

[@petergood8818]

I always keep learning from your videos. Thanks

[@francisaboagye6269]

My department have acquired one P4P and I must say it is kinda fun flying it. i wanna learn alot about the tutorials and u are pretty much teaching m alot. Thanks!

[@chriscraig2215]

cheers for this Bill another great tutorial...... easy to understand . will most definitely try this on my next outing.

[@contactexperiencer57]

Being a beginner, your informative videos are the best. I am so glad you are out there providing these instructional videos. I am subscribed and watch all your Phantom 4 videos. Now I will start watching your other camera videos to learn more on that. Thank you so very much. Oh and keep coming with the vids.

[@BillNicholsTV]

Thanks James!

[@raysdronevideos8151]

Best explanation I've seen on why and how to use this. Thank you.

[@dronephotographyvideos4614]

good video very informative and polished. easy to watch and learn thanks

[@TheSilversniffer]

Awesome stuff Bill..... This is Ross for the beach the other day.... Killer tutorials..... I don't even have a drone and I like watching!! Thanks!

[@ptrivilino]

Thanks for the videos. Just got a Phantom 4 and will be trying some of this stuff out.

[@peterlewis8787]

Great video for a novice user. Thanks for sharing. I crashed my Phantom on the first flight, should have watched these videos before.

[@jessparker7794]

enjoy your videos on the phantom 4. could you show more of the dji app when you are in different modes. seeing the app and being able to back up the video to make sure i understand what you are doing in the app helps me learn the app better. It may be very basic to others but I want to learn correctly. I am showing my grandchildren how to properly fly the drone and seeing the app on the screen is a big help.

[@nejack1]

Excellent video Bill, just purchased the Phantom 4 and waiting to get out in the field and give it a try. I have been watching several of your videos the it appears that it will be quite easy to learn how to fly this drone. thanks for your time and information.

[@garywilliams9678]

Great Video, really helpful. I am a licensed Pilot and just got my FAA remote pilot cert and want to get my first Drone. Really easy to understand your presentation. Great Job

[@BillNicholsTV]

Thanks Gary! Glad it helped, what are you looking at for your first?

[@garywilliams9678]

I am looking at the DJI Phantom 4 BUT I am also looking into a Drone/camera combination with a video transmitter for live production. Not sure at this point. Thinking about going to NAB and Possibly the National Drown Show in DC in December

[@robbieprovost6704]

Thanks Bill... had my P3A for 2 years and just now learning the intelligent flight modes.. thanks to YOU! I will be looking to buy Lightroom and learn some skills from you as well... keep up the great work !

[@gregbalcombe6116]

Hi Bill, I live in Western Australia and only recently bought my first drone, a Phantom 4 Pro V2.0. We do a lot of travelling in a caravan and visit some awesome places around our great land. I intend to get some nice shots and video as we travel and have found your tutorials really helpful and will continue to keep abreast of what you are doing. Great job, Mate, Cheers

[@frontman812]

Thank you for sharing. I'm shooting a Charity Powder Puff Football game and I will be using Point of Interest and Course lock. Your instructions are very much appreciated. I will post a little of the clips when done.

[@Fotodigio]

hi bill your talk got enough info for me to learn how to use all mode and how to fly safe......tx

[@LifeFlight101]

owned my p4 for almost a week now and I really appreciate this informative video. very easy to understand but not such a slow pace that it's annoying.

[@BillNicholsTV]

Awseome Life Flight, glad its helpful

[@jambee06]

Great job, very helpful in helping to understand the power of the Phantom

[@BillNicholsTV]

Thanks Rick!

[@javiermaturanascopes3355]

Also, when you fly it far away and you loose the sense of direction, it´s a good way to bring it back home. Thank´s for the video.

[@artglass11]

First time watching and definitely subscribing very well done easy to understand 😎✌️️

[@bakerbay]

Hey Bill, these videos are very helpful. Think I will head up to the nearby church parking lot and try out some course lock.

[@karlamolina2380]

I'm looking forward to using this for real estate footage. Thanks!!

[@skyviewmediaHun]

I've just bought a Phantom 4, so I'm subscribed. I see you share very helpful videos.

[@romybaillo1129]

A very great and helpful tutorial. Thank you, Bil.

[@LGLightGuide]

Great video, well explained, on how to use the Phantoms

[@BillNicholsTV]

+LGLightGuide Thanks!

[@johnateagleswingsvideo9575]

Thanks Bill. Very helpful tutorial !

[@tomgerard7440]

Bill. Nice job well planned and presented.

[@joecat101]

I have watched many video reviews on the P 4 and also the x star premium, I was kinda tore between which I wanted the most. It wasn't till I saw what you have to do to update the x star that I decided the P 4 is a much better choice. I can say without a doubt your videos are by far the best videos going. Most informative and no BS. Thanks.

[@BillNicholsTV]

You have to update the P4 just as well - both companies release updates on a regular basis - thanks for watching!

[@joecat101]

I understand both have updates but on the x star you have to take the memory card out of the drone and put it in your computer to download updates than put it back in the drone to update the drone than if you have more than one battery you have to take the card back out, put it back in your computer and rename the downloaded update file than put it back in the drone to update each battery. The P 4 is infinitely easier, that's what I meant . Also I don't think the x star has anything like course lock intelligent flight mode.

[@stephenhillyard8407]

X star premium does have IOC, course lock. It is real easy to use. There is a switch on the side of the controller that you set after you have the direction of flight you want to go. You don't have to do it in the app.

[@burtjarvis2789]

Just got my Phantom 4 advance, Great tips can't wait to try!

[@robertnull7815]

Great work on these videos. Very well done. Professional and articulate presentation.

[@lencoebouwer323]

Hey Bill thank you so much, you made it so possible for to use my Drone cause I couldn't do all this maneuvers, I'm not using Phathom Drone cause I can't afford it but i have watched and took some knowledge on maneuvering my Drone to take my fitness Boot camp videos perfectly... Wish I could get a good Drone with good qualities like yours. Thank you. Please keep on sharing

[@BillNicholsTV]

Right on!

[@premrajendran7383]

Great info as always, Bill. There have been several dolly type shots I've wanted to do so this will be a great tool along with POI. Happy flying.

[@ralphk1zzi653]

Thank you Bill. Very informative and helpful. I enjoy all your videos. I've only been doing this a few weeks so I have a lot to learn. I appreciate you taking the time to make instructional videos for us. You make it look easy. Please keep it going... Thanks

[@BillNicholsTV]

+Ralph K1ZZI Thanks Ralph! Lot more to come - I have about the first 100 videos or so planned out - looking for 3-5 a week for the foreseeable future. A bit of work, but lots of fun

[@gillpauk]

Excellent! - clear, accurate & detailed.

[@LostMines]

Great Tutorial man. Thanks for a very helpful video

[@BillNicholsTV]

Thanks for watching and thanks for the feedback david!

[@North3rdMedia]

Hi great instructional video. How did you record the DJI go app footage?

[@WichitaMule]

Another very helpful video on the course lock mode. Many thanks Bill, and I've learned a lot from watching your video presentations. I also like the way you do things. Plain, simple and very straightforward which makes it easy for an old timer (70+) like me to understand. Oh, and I subscribed as well. Cheers, and I look forward to more of your excellent videos Bill.

[@BillNicholsTV]

Glad it was helpful for you - happy new year!

[@WichitaMule]

Yep, you too.

[@burnski1]

Thanks, Bill. Very helpful and informative.

[@monkeytownfilms6240]

Great video Bill. Helpful and enjoyable. Thanks for posting :)

[@michaellissow543]

HI. I just came across your channel but noticed you haven't posted anything in about 4 yrs. From the looks of the area you shot the Phantom footage, you're in Irvine. Are you still involved with video/photography? Great content.

[@barryama1]

Thanks Bill! Awesome videos!!!!! Your Channel is turning me into a PRO. PS, I ordered the bag you recommended! Excited for it to arrive.

[@CrazyTechy]

Hi Bill, thanks for your DJI Phantom 4 videos. Helps me a lot.

[@BillNicholsTV]

thanks a lot! Glad to hear it

[@nateallen8108]

Nate Allen here in Houston Tx. Just started a Drone Company. Aerial Drone Pilots and Photographers of America is the name. I love your videos and your Professionalism. You are a great Instructor. I have a few questions and I will email you soon. Thanks for sharing your incredible skill set.

[@mtnestr9850]

Great series of videos!!

[@bethwatsonimages]

Well done, very informative Thanks

[@warrendbaxter6910]

Thanks a lot Bill, as a new phantom 4 pro v2.0 owner, you definitely have some of the best videos out here, any other advice on how to make smooth videos and settings? Also, a video on filters would be great!!! Thanks again and keep flying !!

[@BillMcFadden]

Very well done Bill! Thanks for the info.

[@brianbesson7393]

Very good tips

[@deahnasdad]

I an enjoying your videos. Thank you.

[@BrendanRoche59]

Hi Bill Was wondering where you got your short cable from? Great video

[@johnridge7078]

Very helpful video, as usual - thanks, Bill. I'm a happy subscriber! I realised after my fourth flight with the P4 that I should have used Course Lock - I had flipped the gimbal down in flight for a classic "aerial view", then became disoriented. In effect I had to switch to Instrument Flight - never my strong point. CourseLock would have let me avoid an embarrassingly erratic return and landing - I think. I'll try it tomorrow if the UK weather improves...

[@BillNicholsTV]

+John Ridge Both Course and Home Lock (video on home lock coming) help - also using the map which I will do a video on

[@curtisjones3402]

Hi Bill, enjoyed your teaching on Point of Interest, I'm still looking for the point of turning on the camera? I couldn't find it as I was executing the circle flight. ...?

[@kevinbrun8014]

Very helpful video Bill. Thanks.

[@BillNicholsTV]

+Kevin Brun Thanks Kevin!

[@droneimagesaustralia5141]

Bill, Where can I find your point of interest Mode? Enjoyed this one.

[@ThaBlackCobra]

Nice job. I did a video series on the intelligent flight modes for the P3 Standard but I didn't do one on course lock. I may just add one more video to the series now.

[@wmon77]

Very informative. Thanks for the class

[@steakmedrare3084]

Nice video. Are you able to change altitude while flying in course lock?

[@rickmcnamara5212]

Thanks Bill great video

[@joecat101]

Outstanding video Bill thanks. This mode sounds something like headless flight mode on the cheaper drones but on steroids. Man I want a P 4 bad.

[@BillNicholsTV]

Thanks for watching Joe!

[@MagicBiscuitShow]

I have 2 Parrot Anafi Drones and will be buying a Phantom 4 Pro v2.0 soon. Do you have a video on how to do waypoints (flight plan) with the P4Pro? tnx

[@BillNicholsTV]

Thank you sir!

[@droneaddict9649]

Thank you for this wonderfull instruction!

[@MarcusEmas]

Thanks! Great video 👍

[@MagnumVideos]

Another great video. Looking forward to trying that after I get a bit more familiar with my Phantom 4. Question: Can you change the altitude at the same time you're doing this?

[@BillNicholsTV]

yes you can

[@gsturr]

Nice work. You have a new subscriber!

[@bobwallis1757]

Hi Bill does the Phantom 4 pro V2 have course lock and POI??? You do a great job on your videos, thanks!!
