DJI Phantom 4 Getting Started Guide. Charging, Calibration, Activating, Flight Controls

[@boblewin7099]

Fantastic Rick. I have been viewing Phantom 4 (beginner) videos on KZbin for the past 2 weeks (anticipating buying one shortly) and to be honest, all of the videos were certainly no where as comprehensive, succinct, informative and professionally done as yours. You have chosen a very logical way to move through beginner instruction and you seem not to waste any time on non necessary chatter. With your one video I have learned more than all the previous videos combined. This is the information I have been looking for. As a retired instructor myself, my sincere thanks for offering something so well produced. I will subscribe here shortly. Thanks again.

[@MarionvillemodelsMultirotors]

Thanks for the feedback. I try to show that not all sellers are the same and that I'm just as much about my product knowledge than I am about selling it. There are many sellers who are in it to make a buck now and don't care about the product.

[@Malaikamediaug]

I agree.. bought a phantom 4 on Saturday but i failed to fly it.. this is really infomative

[@Shaymon23]

Great video! Thank you! Bob Lewin was spot on with his comment.

[@MarionvillemodelsMultirotors]

Thanks for the kind comments.

[@davidvandam2405]

I agree, this is THE best comprehensive intro video for the Phantom published so far. Guess I'd best subscribe now!

[@gavinmaloney6773]

Thank you very much for this very informative tutorial! I have a DJI Phantom 4 in the box and a little nervous to get it all set up, but you have really given me the confidence to get it in the air. Much appreciated!

[@azalbalushi]

Thanks Rick. I've been through a number of phantom 4 videos , but non of them were as simple and straight forward as yours. so thanks again. I am doing my maiden flight tomorrow , so wish me luck !

[@MarionvillemodelsMultirotors]

Finally, now I know what all the buttons are for! Excellent detailed video for us beginners. My Pro 4 came with a built in monitor. Now, if I could only learn how to connect that monitor to the app. Many thanks for you exceptional presentation!

[@Wazza722]

The most informative video about the phantom 4 on you tube! A No nonsense review!

[@MarionvillemodelsMultirotors]

[@MarionvillemodelsMultirotors]

Thanks.

[@antoniogonidis44]

[@tracybrislin]

I wish I lived in the UK, you present the best videos of any one out there! When ever Im about to give up I run across your Vids and I have one of those Ah Ah moments. You know " So thats how you do it!"

[@MarionvillemodelsMultirotors]

Glad they help you where ever you are.

[@robertjenkins8630]

Many thanks My Friend. I will be making my first flight with my New Phantom 4 as soon as the weather clears. Well, it’s new to me. Only has 21 flight minutes on it. This video was a huge help. Again thank you Sir!!!

[@MarionvillemodelsMultirotors]

Robert Jenkins glad it helped.

[@bphoto21]

Sorry for my bad English : First of all great video.Great job.Great information.Thank you sir.Just a note.Something for the "Video output" at 9:52 . For the most of the people here is always better to choose NTSC format wherever there Country is because contains more frames per second. We use digital signals today (HDMI) so it doesn't matter which format you choose.We dont really use old connection cables any more (RCA) so there's no problem to always choose NTSC standard to get those extra frames.This apply not just to Phantom 4 but to all of the modern video devices.

[@buddha417]

Thanks Rick, education at it's very best. Wonderfully clear.

[@TheGarth121]

As per Bob Lewin excellent piece all you need to know and a little bit more...........Thanks Marionville Multirotors

[@geomatrix5452]

[@scottishshoreangler]

[@theociba3762]

Very good overview. I needed a refresher since I have last used the bird, and your explanation was essential. Thanks for putting this together.

[@MarionvillemodelsMultirotors]

Thank you for your kind words. id like to keep the videos coming but the drone market is very tight at the moment and smaller dealers like myself are going under and its difficult to get the time and money to make these videos. www.patreon.com/marionvillemultirotors

[@Dylan-zj1lz]

Nice, i have learn't a lot, i have ordered a dji phantom 4 that is coming in like a week

[@MarionvillemodelsMultirotors]

Are you supporting your local dealer.

[@Dylan-zj1lz]

Marionville Multirotors ?

[@Cs-qg9nz]

Marionville Multirotors if amazon is a local dealer then.....hell yeah. I would rather pay 799 then 1000

[@MarionvillemodelsMultirotors]

You'll get no help or support from Amazon.

[@Cs-qg9nz]

Marionville Multirotors got help twice and DJI care. besides, our local dealers are Apple ans bestbuy and they told me to purchase DJi care.

[@kevinhudson6256]

[@xsuperhd1080p]

Thanks, great video!

[@hardmantravis]

well done thank you.

[@WichitaMule]

Hi, great video. One question.... @15:35you say the "beam" actually comes out the sides of the antennae. Are you talking about the thin edges" or the large flat sides of the antennae? I believe the signal comes directly out of the larger flat parts of the antennae, am I correct? Thanks if you can clarify this for me.

[@MarionvillemodelsMultirotors]

WichitaMule yes mainly from the flat surfaces but will come from the sides to. The tip of the antenna is the dead zone.

[@oten502]

Best video. Thanks.

[@PinchnerHouse]

Although you say the controller is pretty much the same, the phone/tablet holder is a huge improvement over the 3. Much more sturdy and stable.

[@MarionvillemodelsMultirotors]

It's the same as the Inspire but can be fitted to the P3 controller.

[@OzyOzySM]

I have to re comment, I just paid $1200 for the DJI phantom 4 from Best Buy I like it!!! It's almost plug and play but these videos makes it complicated I loved the camera it's so stable like a rock !!! Cenma experience and nice pic!! The easy to fly and return home are nice I couldn't find subjects tracking !! But the only problem is the signal ( it's so week and can't fly more than 1/2 mile without cutting and clutching in signal But it's nice flying bird!! Now I thank to make same on RC heli will be so much fun!!!

[@MarionvillemodelsMultirotors]

Ozy Ozy I'm glad you like my video. One thing though, stores like Best Buy are killing the small retailers and soon they will disappear and videos like mine will no longer exist. If it wasn't for my supporting customers I wouldn't have the time and new to make them.

[@knightduesvult7770]

this has helped me so much thank you 👍👍

[@vanessajazp6341]

Very informative for a noobie like myself. But a question ... at about the 18-minute mark you talk about calibrating the IMU. Okay ... so what is that?

[@photography4390]

Nice video bro

[@BilalAslamIsAwesome]

Thank you!

[@CaptainMyCaptain33]

you you have a video on weigh point flying, or how you can download maps? I have pretty poor coverage in my area and some of the place I want to fly that my tablet doesn't work. So I wanted to figure that out.

[@MarionvillemodelsMultirotors]

I haven't gone into detail on that yet. For maps, just go to where you want to fly on the app and it will cache the maps.

[@fpvrcstuff]

Very well presented and easy to understand tutorial , can't wait to see some more on the Phantom 4 ..........Just got one from Santa . I had a QRX 350 and it was stone age tech compared to this machine .Cheers from Canada

+Marionville Multirotors naa sorry, i got it from SLR HUT, got an awesome bundle deal

[@MarionvillemodelsMultirotors]

+Lloyd Vlogs that's a real shame. SLRHut are killing the independent dealers like me. And they don't pay taxes in the uk as they stock is grey imported.

+Marionville Multirotors do you do deals on a battery bundle of any sort ? Just checked out your website 129 for a battery is still quite reasonable though
