How to Fly a DJI Phantom 3

[@peterfslife]

I have CERTAINLY been there, getting the blessings of flying one of these! I will NEVER forget how much fun that was!

[@Bobster986]

Nice video, but first things first. You must always... I mean always turn your controller on first, then the Phantom. The Phantom will look to bind with the controller the moment you turn it on. It is possible that if you do the revers, the Phantom could pick up a stray signal and interpret it as a takeoff instruction and have a flyaway situation. Happy flying!

[@reptilianresearchredux5887]

Hey good info…I never considered that.

[@jackryan4313]

I'd be so pissed...😂

[@Fishing-dm9rl]

At around 3:30 he starts to explain about the front dial on the right. He says he`s not sure which it`s for. Uh oh!!

[@nimueh4298]

On the right side, that is not a programmable button, that is use to take still pictures.

[@jayssfilms]

How can i get P-GPS? i only getting P-Atti thou i have 12satelite available. when i get the P-Atti, my drone moving itself on right, any advice?

[@freesaxon6835]

Your mobile phone is connected via a USB lead to the controller, is that normal ? I have seen the mobile connected to it via WiFi, so which is the best way ?

[@mjrealtor365]

Do I need WiFi for the KZbin live streaming?

[@JoseGonzalez-qn6ny]

Lost my wire that goes from my cellphone to the control box 🙄 can anyone tell me where and how should i buy it by name ?

[@NotAChillguyNgl]

What's the app name? i have the dji go but idk if thats the right one bc the camera quality isnt good, it says smth abt signal error so yea, thank you!

[@larrykenney7091]

My transmitter only has the micro USB for some reason and it's the Phantom 3 4X, can I use this micro USB to connect my tablet in? What's the different from using a cable between my transmitter and the tablet or using no cable?

[@bobhowes1842]

you should always turn on the controller before the drone as it may take off and disappear on its own.when shutting down drone first controller second

[@jaybeaulieu73]

Bob Howes REALLY???? Fact???? Been in Rc for over 30 years, have never heard so much shit talking about people ever! Everyone is supposed to help each other out!!!!

[@tarikbakk7456]

How far can this dron goes before it goes out of signal range. ?

[@MotoNomad17]

And those battery lights on the bottom of the front of the controller. Is that the battery indicator for the drone or controller? Same goes for the battery percentage shown on the top right corner of the screen?

[@robertbowman3406]

ONLY re-calibrate the compass when it calls for it.

[@eyeintheskiesdavid9277]

Hello bud I am just after buying a second hand dji phantom 3 standard and I was just wondering if you could please help me out I am getting a poor signal on the control so I was just wondering if you could help me out I would much appreciated you're help thanks

[@MrBerenguer67]

Hi thks four your video can you please let me know wo to turn the drone off and remote control I press off and old the lights still on is normal thks

[@tommyselsvold6654]

Nice video! but please tell them to Power on the Remote FIRST.... then the phantom..

[@Davidnangle2000]

Is the phantom wind resistant because I’ve lost many cheap drones because of the wind and I’m worried

[@PeytonB]

I’ve flown in 20mph winds and the drone didn’t move out of position much. It’s very good about maintaining position during windy conditions.

[@Davidnangle2000]

Ok thanks I’m getting a drone on Monday and nervous is an understatement haha

[@PeytonB]

If you’re ever about to fly with wind, just be sure to stand away from the drone while it’s taking off. Takeoff is one of the few times I’ve noticed the drone move horizontally a couple feet due to wind. Once it’s stable in the air, it’s doesn’t move much.

[@Davidnangle2000]

Thanks

[@Henn617]

Hey Peyton. Those mode switches are for waypoint modes and gps modes. You should check out some DJI tutorials you will just love what it can do.

[@PeytonB]

I'll do that. Thanks!

[@ItsLunaWolfTheOld]

This video did what the manual couldn't, so thanks Peyton.

[@mauricepowell8918]

Yes Peyton very good instructer.

[@drewcunningham2]

the button on the right next to the back button is not a programmable button but rather a shutter release for taking still photos....the wheel below it is basically an iso / aperture combo...

[@brendanlaird5831]

I just updated my firmware, powered off and then on again, but now if still beeps. Is that normal ooorrr...??

[@raymondjones9010]

Mine is coming in the mail so excited

[@factskingdom786]

guys my iphone 5s is not connecting with phantom 3 standard wifi what should i do?

[@brucejordan9073]

Unlike by my guess DJI paid for tutorials where is the presenter is only allowed X number of seconds for tutorial per payment , so presenter does the presentation in machine gun mouth mode . Best starter Phantom 3 00 tutorial I've viewed so far with the exception ,what does the left joy stick do . If Payton was describing function of left joy stick , phone mount was blocking the view

[@BrianClunie]

Awesome information, I just Subscribed! I just ordered one

[@paxton_makes]

why did mine usb cord not connect with my phone? do I need a different cords or an adaptor? or is it possible to do wireless?

[@kinfolk70]

just got my DJI 3 advanced today, thanks for the video, I am currently in Japan, I think I have to registerer with my local city hall before I can fly.

[@PeytonB]

+kinfolk70 We're now required to register them with the federal government in the US as well.

[@TonoRecords]

+kinfolk70 I just got mine today,i live in japan too.do i need anything to register?like bring the drone receipt?

[@kinfolk70]

TonoRecords sorry for late reply, I didn't need a receipt, I just called city hall and they told me where I could and could not fly and all the distance requirements in fact they didn't ask me to register it at all but I was told every city has there own rules so that is going to be a hassle

[@TonoRecords]

+kinfolk70 thank you very much.

[@1946FreddieMercury]

I'm moving to Japan next year, what did they tell you regarding where to and where not to fly? And which city are you in? I'm moving to Tokyo, so It'd be nice to know the rules and regulations as I'd like to film a lot with a drone.

[@ickleone33]

turn on control first, then turn on phantom. you got lucky. not the other way round.

[@renngladden9482]

Gary Ayrton

[@jackfoster4859]

Works both ways no issues it's a non delayed rf the phantom 3 advance above used

[@marcmoore5702]

can you copy pics to your phone while flying or afterwards? vids also? tks

[@clack1971]

Very good video very well detailed you now have a new subscriber good job thank you sir

[@MotoNomad17]

With which buttons can you control the gimbal?

[@MattIsaacs]

Do you HAVE to be connect to wifi while using it? Like can you use it without any internet connection

[@PeytonB]

+Matthew You do not need to be connected to Wi-Fi or any form of Internet.

[@MattIsaacs]

+Peyton ok thank you for the quick reply

[@69THGILF]

So I recommend before trying to teach someone about the Drone you may want to know what the controller does. Just saying. Overall its a good video. Thanks for posting.

[@Kyezie131]

You using the iPhone 6 or 6 Plus? Looks like the 6+ but im just wondering..

[@rhinoplayz5041]

[@kabelolive]

Can you use both levers simultaneously?

[@PeytonB]

Yes.

[@Musicfastival220]

[@wengme]

[@nifiyt]

[@lestergetubig9161]

[@subodhgupta6972]

[@PeytonB]

Amazon

[@PixiesChannel12345]

Awesome video mate I assume that all the functions are the same as on the standard as I will be getting one soon.

[@jacobhamblin9061]

This video was so helpful thanks.

[@SothsavdyTha]

When I start to fly it. I feel so scare about drone to fall down

[@Brandon-ju5pg]

I just crashed my drone today I bought it for $360 in the first time I went to fly it it fell on the floor and it broke. The camera is detached and everything is screwed up. I feel like I’m such a failure because of this. Someone said he’ll get it fixed for $30 but I just feel so depressed I hope this is a learning lesson to do some research before you fly because I had Not watched any videos or done any educating before I took off with the drone. It feels so bad when you save up money and at the end of the day it just breaks.

[@watermelon_shark6864]

same

[@Brandon-ju5pg]

WAtermelon_shark09 fr dang

[@watermelon_shark6864]

Brandon Baklayan no i am scared to ly it it is phantom 3 :p btw some body was giving away for free

[@PeytonB]

+fabio gonzalez Yes.

[@JamesAllen-ig2tu]

[@saniyaduvanshi3841]

Ye kitne rupaye ka hai

[@zigandawal1754]

Hey Peyton is there a recording voice in the video or camera

[@PeytonB]

+Zig Andawal Nope. It only records video.

[@rhinoplayz5041]

And it does photo as well

[@jonathansurujon6283]

[@WeBeYachting]

Great video mate, thumbs up. Cheers from the IGY Simpson Bay Marina, Sint Maarten in the Caribbean.

[@matthewjarman182]

[@805BLAZING]

WHAT

[@a.dl.6033]

No, it does not.

[@mateuszhudziak8279]

How can i get this app ? Does it work on Sony Z3 ?

[@PeytonB]

+Derpi Games You can download it from the Google Play Store.

[@antsuk232]

Do i need a licence or anything in the uk im 13 ??

[@PeytonB]

No idea.

[@jessicagriffiths1243]

+Ants Scotland No..Max 'legal' altitude is 400 ft..

[@BizyGi]

+stv griff then how do people do max altitude videos? Are you sure it's not 400m?

[@kiltimaghlad6238]

+Ants Scotland No you don't need a license unless the footage you are recording is being used for commercial purposes. You do need to follow some safe rules though mate check the CAA site. Here is what they say: The Dronecode Make sure you can see your drone at all times and don't fly higher than 400 feet Always keep your drone away from aircraft, helicopters, airports and airfields Use your common sense and fly safely; you could be prosecuted if you don't. Drones fitted with cameras must not be flown: within 50 metres of people, vehicles, buildings or structures over congested areas or large gatherings such as concerts and sports events

[@jessicagriffiths1243]

ants is definitely 400 ft

[@markvietti]

your a little new to be doing drone videos but thx for the video. at least you talk in it.

[@dilukprasad6945]

great lesson. thank you sir...

[@iotaphithetaalphathetaomeg6298]

[@iotaphithetaalphathetaomeg6298]

right where yours says safe to fly

[@miselmisel6066]

Hi! I plan to buy p3 standard. What are your experiences with samsung s4?

[@shutsz]

P is for Positioning, A is for ATTI

[@daveer5712]

Thanks for the video bro

[@matthewjarman182]

return to home nice

[@huntjunky1]

Did you forget to calibrate???? Bad news! Calibrate every flight, Dude...avoid ending up with a plastic paper weight.

[@TopODaMernin]

+huntjunky1 you don't need to calibrate every flight.... I have done well over 500 flights of DJI Phantoms... You should calibrate after any hard landings, crashes or when the App finds an issue. After the initial calibration, it is fine.

[@flyboy61b]

+josh jackson Probably safer to calibrate if you change locations.

[@spectre6543]

Yeah true

[@blitzkrieg7353]

after the first calibrating ever of my drone how much flights should i let it until i calibrate it again?

[@joaquimcoana3845]

thats the most important thing ..calibrate before take off..lol guess our bro forgot that point but the video is fine for beginners keep it up dude

[@ps4gamingbih664]

What app To use

[@frostyprime8110]

CLASH GAMER DJI go. The one without the the 4.

[@agm5148]

Great information, thank you.

[@matthewjarman182]

Cool lights

[@eseesiso6068]

[@willfitzgibbons2215]

great video I subscribed

[@matthewjarman182]

cool phantom

[@loganriddell61]

great vid

[@harryrussell2038]

A lot of should be stuff. Definitely didn’t show how to work it

[@CaptainMyCaptain33]

I had the P4 and sold it. Recently got the p3 with a 4K camera. Guess it’s the pro. Sucks. Really hate it. Flies horribly. The P4 was waaaaay easier to fly. Like so easy. You had to do so little and the controls made sense. Not sure why the P3 is so fuckin difficult to fly. Or why they made the sticks so awful. The controls are weird as hell. I crashed it first flight two times (never crashed the P4 once) and that was a year ago. I just put it back in the case and have left it alone. Now I have to get a 4K shot for a job and soooo not looking forward to it 😂🤷‍♂️🤞

[@areejrouf8829]

so nice

[@matthewjarman182]

Nice

[@Rob-kr7lh]

You never said how to start props and take off manually.
