[@bjorker40]

Just got my 4 Plus today....this is absolutely the best intro tutorial by far! Watched it from beginning to end. Thanks so much for your time.

[@andrewwroblewski6691]

Thank you for a great video, (we now shot forward 7 years to 2022 !), and found you on you tube. Great info about features I did not know about, for example the simulator on the App, and great advice about firmware updates (example during a firmware update failure), and info about VPS, Pause Button, P S and A, and of course IMU (Internal Measurement Unit) and Compass advice, (all those awkward angles needed to hold the drone during calibrations), and how to do an emergency stop using the Home Button and the Left Stick (down to 4.30 position!). Overall thank you so much. I live in the UK, and sadly this wonderful piece of kit is restricted to my garden area, until I can pass that much needed exam. All the best ANDY (UK)

[@bryanyoutubechannel]

Hi, don't be shy about the exam. I'm across the pond but I'm sure the benefits of knowledge gained from exam prep is the same. You're recap of the video was nice to see, thanks for posting.

[@MizJM]

This is awesome. So thorough! I have zero knowledge of drones, DJIs et al. The tutorial reduced the immediate panic that set in as soon as I unpacked it from the box. Thanks from NZ!

[@MarionvillemodelsMultirotors]

Glad it was of help to you.

[@theodoreezequiel3720]

sorry to be so off topic but does someone know a way to log back into an instagram account? I stupidly lost my account password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me.

[@kingsleyayden9217]

@Theodore Ezequiel instablaster :)

[@theodoreezequiel3720]

@Kingsley Ayden Thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and im trying it out now. I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@theodoreezequiel3720]

@Kingsley Ayden it worked and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy! Thanks so much you saved my ass :D

[@MarionvillemodelsMultirotors]

No problem. I hope to bring more if i get support from the viewers.

[@stephenpower1]

Thanks for a great video. I'm a drone newbie but have been a professional photographer for 30 years. I was Undecided about the Phantom 4, pro, versus inspire one pro. But I think I will go with the Phantom now. One point about the camera is that a bigger sensor will always give better quality even with less pixels. Crowding 20 megapixels in the one inch sensor of the phantom 4 Will produce lower quality than 12 megapixels in the much larger X5 sensor.

[@madelynnecornish7815]

Thank you for the tutorial, it was much appreciated. To let you know I purchased my drone from a small independent dealer in Finland. I like the independents, I buy very little online.

[@MarionvillemodelsMultirotors]

madelynne cornish that's great your supporting your local dealer. They'll be there when you need them.

[@lukes8900]

Subscribed and followed. Appreciate this video. Have been flying drones for many years. The flying is not an issue but the video was invaluable for learning all the new onscreen features as I came from a Phantom 2 (70’s car to a 2020 AMG c63) Many thanks from Australia ✌️ Will look at your other in-depth videos. Appreciate you making them ✌️

[@aljamesproductions]

[@britishairtours]

great video, had been discouraged by Phoenix Sim but your videos have inspired me to seriously consider the Phantom 4

[@rogerwoodward9548]

I have this same drone on order. As an added comment, I too have several years building and flying RC aircraft, but this will be my first drone. Your video was very well done. I greatly appreciate the effort and time you put into making it. I live in Crested Butte, Colorado. Just wanted you to know that I found you well across the pond. :) Great Job! Much Thanks!

Thank you sir you help me a lot I just got a used Phantom 4 Advance without any books

[@petercharleswest]

I am very impressed with your vid. I have been flying fixed wing & helis, full sized & models, for 30 odd years. I have had 2 each of p2+ & p3a ,but decided that I needed the better camera, so i took the plunge with the p42+. It will be here in a couple of days, and your vid will save me several hours of playing, even though the p3a is similar in some respects. I can't wait! peter west - nz

[@MarionvillemodelsMultirotors]

peter west I’m glad the video helped you.

Thank you very much for these as you have filled in an awful lots of missing information, the get started from DJI is rubbish and I have had a load of trouble.. one was that the video link dropped off and would not come back. You however are 400 miles from me so I cannot buy from you unless you do postal sales. I might be buying another battery as they do go down fast.

I have Mavic on order (no sign of delivery) I'm seriously thinking of cancelling but I need the portability so this ruled out the P4P I might cancel anyway and hope for a Mavic 2 soon

[@MarionvillemodelsMultirotors]

teslar1 you may be well to.

[@MichaelKunkegh]

Hi I got the same thing, I run through everything but cant get the motors to start like you did. Just migrated from 3DR Solo to DJI

[@capnfrankly]

love your tutorials, if I may make so bold as to suggest that when you are pointing out buttons ,etc on the App, you do so with a slender pencil with an eraser ,so as not to damage the screen ,or something similar.Some times your finger obscures the relevant button. As they say in the Armed Forces when pointing at an objective on a map the width of a finger may give a 4 mile error. Thank you and could you repeat your Patreon site name...Thanks again

[@MarionvillemodelsMultirotors]

Thanks for the suggestions. Ill take that on board.

[@ze1makaveli]

@ 38:00 you say that to turn the motors off you need to hold the stick down for 2 seconds. Wouldn't that kill the motors mid air while you are descending?

[@MarionvillemodelsMultirotors]

No its an intelligent system and knows you are still in the air.

[@seanthompson258]

great video and yes you are correct not much instruction on how to use i have learnt all threw watching youtube videos i live in South Africa i just bought a phantom 4 pro only after seeing your video but for the future would you be able to send or courier to south africa?

[@MarionvillemodelsMultirotors]

Sean Thompson sorry I can only ship within the EU. Glad my videos are of help to you.

[@hananmirza4635]

I like it

time 23:26 ( error ) right stick to the right banks right, to left banks left. )

[@MarionvillemodelsMultirotors]

Well spotted. Sometimes when i do the same shot over and over i get it wrong.

[@coalakida]

Got the new Pro plus and updated firmware with ease thanks to you however the academy training app freezes or just goes on it own so I am very afraid to fly it now. Any ideas ?

[@MrBroooos]

I recently bought the DJI Pro 4 + i have managed to create the account but when i try to activate all the settings etc a message props up stating i am not connected to the internet where in fact i am. Do i need to connect a lead or is it all done through wifi please help. Great video by the way

[@jimmyfowler6512]

What is the answer

[@rtesimpson]

shouldn't you upgrade the firmware using the assistant 2 program on a laptop or desktop?... it was recommended by dji that I do it that way for my phantom 4

[@MarionvillemodelsMultirotors]

Rob Simpson you can do it either way but if you have issues the Assistant is a good choice.

[@jeremycedwards]

Why did my camera cease to function at all after doing the firmware backup. ?? Seems to me that this happens quite a lot apparently according to some forums. All had to go back to Holland to be fixed. Hope its alright when it gets back

[@MarionvillemodelsMultirotors]

Jeremy Edwards the main reason people have issues is they buy there drone for sellers with no drone experience amd can't supports there customers so there only help is forums and Facebook . Most issues are an easy fix for an experienced drone dealer.

[@joachimvanotterlo]

Hello, What software do you use for the drone? Thanks

[@MrGozoMalta]

i hope this modle dont loose oriantasion and crash please say they do not and how do i avoid that please

[@michaeljazwinski5882]

When and where will your directions be for firmware update for the phantom 4 pro+

[@troydenning5835]

Just got my DJI 4pro+ today. Your video was great, thanks! Question, I'm trying to get the video from the DJI to my PC. Tried using the cord from the controller to my PC with the SD card in the controller but my PC isn't seeing it. Is there another way?

[@keithd5181]

Buy a SD Card reader. They are cheap and plug into your PC's USB 3.0 socket. Easy and fast file transfers.

[@peanutbutter1651]

Hi, I just bought Phantom 4 and yet to open it. But, I was wondering. Is the app for the drone already pre-installed to the controller and automatically recognisable by the tablet being used? Or, do I have to download it manual?

[@atoymartinez2452]

I need help sir. I owned a P4 Pro and got the latest firmware on both the remote and the aircraft. Everytime I turn it on the IMU calibration appears and tried it for over 6th times andstill prompted me everytime I turn it on. Is there a way we can solve this >? Do I need to reset from the MANUCATURING RESET ? or downgrade ? Thanks !! Badly needed your help.

[@MrRnipperBrockleBroadcasting]

Thanks for an informative video in a clear and unpretentious style. Couple of questions : I really like the idea of the Pro Plus built in monitor, but I'm also interested in the potential for mapping / 3D mapping of buildings, can you load that sort of software on to the monitor or do you have to use a separate smart device? In the video you spoke about setting the maximum altitude, and about us being limited to 400m in the UK. Presumably this is height above ground level where you take off, or does this prevent you using these devices on top of a mountain range in the UK? Cheers.

[@MrRnipperBrockleBroadcasting]

Thanks Daytona 6263, much appreciated. Rod

[@MrBroooos]

do you take lessons for a newcomer who has just bought the Pro 4 +

[@MarionvillemodelsMultirotors]

[@sallutz]

Nice

[@sureshl4985]

thankuu very much

[@robertosteen3436]

Hello is that controller only for phantom 4 Pro+ or Phantom 4 Pro as well? The reason why I am asking is i am going to purchase one in a few months, and I want that controller like that one.

[@MarionvillemodelsMultirotors]

Robert OSteen yes you can use this with the Pro 4.

[@billrundell2097]

About the Wifi. . Can I using the Remote controller's Wifi to my i-Phone, to get access to the DJi P4P app on the internet? Question was difficult to state. . Is there a second way with the micro SD card from my computer to down load firmware into thr RC and drone for P4P? . Never trust an owner of a Hobby shop. He will say anything to complete the sale.

[@bryanyoutubechannel]

2024- Thoughts about the P4P now?

[@MarionvillemodelsMultirotors]

@@bryanyoutubechannel I think it can still hold its own. Stable platform and all the advanced avionics of more modern drones.

[@richardcotton4267]

My drone GO FLY will not do anything. All updates are done but doesn’t work. Help

[@samavella8831]

Hi Rick, Thanks for all your videos. I find them very informative and they’re very helpful, especially the ones on the P4P+. I hope you can answer one or two questions for me! I purchased the P4P+ Obsidian this summer and before I updated the controller/built in Crystal Sky screen, I was able to select the Map Icon on the startup screen to download the map of a region. However, after updating the controller to the latest version 01.04.01.00, the map icon no longer works, and therefore I can no longer download offline maps. Have you’ve experienced this and if so is there a solution and if not have contacted DJI to ask them as to what the problem is? Thanks, Sam

[@Dan-qt7kq]

What happens when you use it with no internet or wifi
