DON'T LET EVERYONE KNOW I'VE BROUGHT THEM BACK TO LIFE

[@ElijahAnthonyF]

Why not? I would make a halfway decent video! I can see it now... DJI Phantom 3 Standard Eaten By Pterodactyl

[@leegenix]

I flew my Phantom 3 Standard today for the first time in several weeks in the park nearby. After calibration, it said "Atti" mode and did a recalibration. This time it flew normally with GPS at 200 feet. I use the same settings for the camera too, Carson.

[@StuMagoo]

I've enjoyed watching your videos, I just got a phantom 3. I'm changing my camera settings and notice you did go over video settings, but not camera settings , so you use 4:6 or 16:9 thanks

[@jerrysifuentes5012]

Next do a video of slowing down the gimble for smoother camera movement

[@TheodoreViollet]

CARSON I SAW PREMIERE PRO ON YOUR DOCK IS there SOMETHING YOU NEED TO TELL US????

[@carsonmtech]

xD AHAHA NO that's just a trial version because I wanted to try it out a long time ago but I just haven't had a chance to remove it yet

[@alex_lamarche]

you know that you can just plug it in with the included white micro usb cable. Drone to computer without all that sd card stuff

[@carsonmtech]

Yeah a couple other people commented about this and honestly I never knew you could do that before😂

[@yysto]

Roses are red Violets are blue I have good internet So why is this video quality poo

[@carsonmtech]

KZbin is really slow at processing😂....also you're lucky you have good internet! Mine sucks:/

[@mackenziehopkinson]

Carson Miller yea you made a live stream about it 😂 I would recommend sudden link

[@carsonmtech]

+mackenzie hopkinson Thanks for mentioning them, their prices look very reasonable and I sure wish their service was available to my home but sadly it's not :/

[@mackenziehopkinson]

Carson Miller oh that's a shame never mind your welcome though I guess :/

[@geraldhenrickson7472]

Hey wanted. Please advise what your channel is so we can watch something you have worked hard to create...and make fun of it.

[@mikewebber5645]

gday from Australia, i am enjoying all of your tutorials vey much, i have a standard 3 DJI

[@hallowaj]

Hey Carson I have an issue when I record on my p3 there's a lot of distortion and flickering. What can I do to fix this.

[@A7___]

Can you do a best camera settings video for the DJi Inspire 2 ? Thanks! :)

[@skeptic49]

thanks for the tips...btw, I download via cable from the bird to the computer...no need to mess with the sd card and converter

[@carsonmtech]

No problem! Also thank you as well for letting me know you can do that! I actually never tried that myself:)

[@skeptic49]

great, just use the mini usb socket on the camera, not the one on the bird chassis with the cover

[@leegenix]

Carson, that works too, but the download via the USB to your computer takes about 5 minutes. Now I just use the SD card and adapter which is fast and smooth.

[@billgorman8414]

Thanks for all the great videos! It's very helpful since I have the same Phantom 3 Standard as you. My flying skills are good but the info on your video settings really helps. I have some really scenic mountains here in Tucson Az. but I haven't been that happy with my photography. Getting some much better shots now! Thanks

[@carsonmtech]

No problem I'm glad to help :)

[@samsavage4301]

My phantom 3 standard only can shoot 25 frames per second in 2.7k, any reason y?

[@samsavage4301]

yah help

[@monster30i]

The Real Cheese Savage mine too, I think is the android app

[@itsmikee112]

You have your camera set to PAL ( 25fps ) which is the European format you need to change to NTSC ( 30fps )

[@samuelcooke1412]

Change pal to ntsc

[@deathraydave]

I had a standard refurbished. i ordered the mavic.

[@carsonmtech]

Nice! My next purchase is definitely gonna be the Mavic more than likely

[@anishinjikashvili7292]

carson miller i also have phantom 3 standard and my phantom han't got distances like yours i bought it on amazon with your link i fly it only 10 times can you help me it it cant fly over 40 meters it is saying weeck signal

[@TheodoreViollet]

I'm getting my phantom 3 standard in NEGATIVE 2 MONTHS (don't believe me check my channel)

[@maxparkervfx]

Is there a way to record to the SD card AND your phone? I’m using an iPhone 6 btw

[@hinewsletter4125]

2:52 WTF

[@bigtopa4512]

what are you mean when you say dji go app and from sd card What is the difference between dji go app and from sd card?????? Can you answer me please?????

[@korbiniansarson5471]

So when the Videos are automatically in my own Photo Album do i have filmed on the MicroSD Card?

[@sisi5502]

Hey Carson, I'm confused about something, First of all, If I want to get the highest quality on my DJI Phantom 3 Standard, if you buy it for the first time, There is also another SD card inside of the camera, what do you do with that? Second question, I have a HP laptop not a macbook so if I want to edit videos, where do i put the micro SD card ( The bigger one of the smaller one), and the last question ( Sorry about all the questions ) , How did you instantly have better footage on the laptop? And Today when I opened the SD card pack, It came with a password, what's the password for?

[@AlexB-vs6pu]

Sereen Aridi the sd card that comes with the drone is 8gb do you can use it for recording but it dosent have much video storage so I would recommend a 64gb micro sd card

[@alvarogonzalez7616]

What do you use to edit videos and how yo download it

[@carsonmtech]

As I said in this video, I use Final Cut Pro...you can download a trial on Apple's website here: www.apple.com/final-cut-pro/trial/

[@alvarogonzalez7616]

Carson Miller thanks I appreciate it

[@ElijahbikerGamesDerp]

hey love your videos, one question, what camera are you using to record yourself? it kinda looks like a Panasonic G7

[@carsonmtech]

Yep it's exactly that :)

[@SEPK09]

Love the winy tripod sound Lol, Hmm was far cry 5 filmed there 4:53 :)

[@nicholasgransinger1456]

why is my video do choppy when I watch it on my pc

[@carsonmtech]

If that's happening, it's likely that your computer graphics aren't powerful enough to display 2.7K :/.

[@nicholasgransinger1456]

ok thanks. I was using a old laptop

[@coaldust01]

hi carson, I got a p3s recently and its video is very choppy, i shoot at 1080 25fps shutter speed 50 etc all recommended settings but its just very choppy from micro sd on my laptop, i thought it might be my laptop so i downsized a video and it was still choppy, also my iphone videos at 60fps are really smooth, im a little bit let down :(, ill try with a faster shutter speed soon, im using the micro sd that came with the drone so i take it that must be fast enoungh. if you view a video in say vlc is it super smooth or jerky when panning etc? thanks

[@carsonmtech]

Hmm that is very strange indeed...although I’m not entirely sure if you’re meaning the entire video is choppy? Or only when you pan with the camera? If it’s the entire video that is being choppy, I would suggest trying a couple more things first: a.) Use a different micro SD card reader the one that came with it may be messed up. b.) Try a different micro SD card. c.) Try reading the micro SD card using a completely different computer. If you were meaning that the choppiness only ever happens when you are planning the camera on the drone, try moving the camera slower when panning/tilting it. Also, I know you’re likely going for a “cinematic” look by shooting at 25fps but I would suggest taking the frame rate up and that may fix the choppiness as well. Hopefully this is able to help you out in some way!

[@mackenziehopkinson]

im getting one of these in about a month so I'm binge watching everyone of your videos to make sure I don't lose/crash/break my drone so I can't wait for that 😂

[@jacobkiefer5971]

I tried the follow me on the drone but when I did that it took off and hit a tree

[@dhennis888]

Question: Have you tried the Litchi app for your DJI P3S? Are you able to make a review video on this app using your DJI P3S? Thanks so much!

[@carsonmtech]

I've ever used the Litchi app although many people have been asking for it so I may do a video on it in the future but no guarantees haha

[@masonmills7312]

What app are you using ??? Because it doesn't look like the DJI go 4 app ? Or is that coz it's September now and this was filmed in June ?

[@DarrenParry]

Good video for noobs. I shoot in d-log which is sort of like shooting in RAW. I then apply a LUT and a spot of colour grading with Davinci Resolve. Comes out looking great. Davinci Resolve is a very powerful and FREE editor, LUT's can be found on the Ground Control website.

[@geraldhenrickson7472]

Thanks Darren...wasn't sure about d-log. Downloading Davinci resolve now.

[@nikylewaldron1996]

Carson you can just download it straight from your dji go app , you just need to be connected to your drone and controller , there is no need to use the computer or take out the sd card @ Carson Miller

[@carsonmtech]

Make sure you watch the video until 00:06:57 :D

[@koz6670]

Carson i have a 1080p 144hertz monitor will the 2.7k footage look bad if i change it or should i sticl to 1080p?

[@soarIngsinK]

Do you really need an adapter? Because at the gimbal is a slot for a micro USB cable. Is the quality the same if you import it via cable compared to the adapter?

[@carsonmtech]

I don't think you do need it anymore actually because many people were leaving comments on this video about how they get their videos and photos from just plugging a USB cable into the gimbal and being able to access the SD car from there!

[@nolanhasting]

I saw D-Log on the video settings which is great! That was my biggest question with the P3S. D-Log delivers a much softer image with more info to help when I color grade my videos. I would be color grading most of my drone videos because I want that cinematic look. Thanks for the helpful video!

[@carsonmtech]

Oh yeah absolutely! I've personally never shot with it (because i'm lazy and don't wanna have to mess around with LUTS and color grading) but I'm sure it works great for that purpose!

[@andrewpotenza740]

Eww you measure your computers temperature in Fahrenheit. Come on man. Even though I'm American with computers always use Celcius

[@lesleighwatson7730]

Hi Carson Always like your drone footage thanks for those great tips ! any chance you can do a video on the editing basics in final cut Pro? I use iMovie but feel I should move onto something a little better but unsure of the investment

[@carsonmtech]

Yep! Possibly in the future I'll have it as part of my, "HOW TO KZbin" series that I just started yesterday :)

[@BrianAlex]

I thought it was commonly known that the video on your phone is only the stream from the drone, but good that you pointed it out to people who didn't know.

[@Joeyjaan]

I don’t have that option of choosing different camera sizes, styles, etc. Is it because of a new firmware update?

[@Stephen-qp8vd]

I have a dji phantom 3 standard as well but the video quality doesn't look good as yours and looks choppy.

[@charliespencer8740]

Might be wrong, but isn't that the dji go 4 app you're using? How? It won't let me with the p3s.

[@onthedownlow100]

I swear to god, I just seen you on the news,were you on that plane that had all the turbulance and people were flying around the inside of the plane.

[@carsonmtech]

MAYBE I HAVE A TWIN! xD But nope that wasn't me I've never been on an airplane with that bad of turbulence luckily!

[@tonzray]

is their much difference between 1080p and 2.7k you should do a vid......

[@urbanailusa]

I love my phantom 3 standard I don't need a different kind just throwing money away

[@smith6812]

I use a usb cable from aircraft to computer also...Good video Carson!..Dang you came in awful hot on the hand landing!!..For me to get the best high quality i just need to remember to hit the record button when flying!!!.hahah..dangit i have forgot so many times!!

[@mindmythfilms1428]

Dlog dude..... Don't be lazy while filming and work on ur editing skills with dlog

[@noahdurrenberger126]

Do you need cellular data to fly the dji phantom 3 standard

[@mgrcproductions500]

You have to download the video to your phone in 1080p

[@ccudjoe89]

I would actually suggest if you want the greatest vid quality from any cam, automode everything is not the way to go. you can get away with auto exposure maybe but auto whitebalance could ruin your shots. at least choose one white balance for the location/ thing you're shooting *i think carson had said he goes auto everything*

[@zachlibradilla7625]

Carson how much GB is your sd card bcoz my dji 3s still laggy in recording 2.7k resolution 64Gb im using now the 90mb/s card?

[@borus88]

I just bought a phantom 3 for $300 in good condition

[@realguywithatie2363]

i would try this if I DIDN'T CRASH MY DRONE INTO POWER LINES

[@Captainfly]

how do you change your video to 4k in shooting a video?

[@oldschoolgaming4763]

Good instruction video. Do you use any ND filters or other filters when filming? Do anyone know if its worth it to buy a car charger for Drone instead of extra battery? Battery costs alot!

[@FidgetNStyleSpinnerReviews]

I'm definitely a noob and your vids have helped me a lot!! My drone is a DJI Phantom 3 Standard as well, so I'll be referring back to your vids regularly for tips and tricks. Thanks so much! Subbed.

[@Slash1066]

Very helpful information there, look forward to trying that out on the next flight! thanks

[@carsonmtech]

Yep :)

[@TheodoreViollet]

Also I shoot in D-Log. The video is really grey but it's DJI's "RAW" and you are able to do a lot of correcting to it.

[@ccudjoe89]

I watched a couple of your vids, you should stop shooting especially drone shots in auto whitebalance and auto exposure. ruined a few of your shots/for the very least it was really noticeable.

[@TheodoreViollet]

Hey, thanks for the advice Caleb. I've tried steering away from using auto color, but i need to stop doing auto exposure and whitebalance as well. Thanks

[@dronetouristfilm2130]

Hi Miller! I have problem with my camera! I have lost it from the screen on the iPhone. I have lost the camera point that normally is red or white.

[@leopoldojiao609]

The Reason why it is not circling around you because it has to be above you

[@bridgetleahy643]

Why are you set to 50Hz for anti-flicker? ....If in the U.S. shouldn't this be set to 60Hz?

[@carsonmtech]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ TBH, I have zero clue what that anti flicker does and how it makes any difference...I’ve never noticed any difference between using one or the other

[@andrewmitchell851]

hey carson. i have a queston on how you can get the max range out of the P3S. on my DJI Go app the drone has a maximum flight limit of 500m and it will not fly past that although with your range test video you reached 6000ft. how do i get my drone to achieve maximum distance without the annoying 500m limit. thanks

[@tas1154]

My ad card video from my standard looks like your DJI Go app and I have everything sent to the right settings

[@scoggzap]

I'm having an issue where my footage has a line or I guess you could say a digital aberration that goes from top to bottom of the footage contantly. I have it set to 5-Hz instead of 2 Hz. Which is standard, I think. Could the Hz setting even be possibly causing this?

[@bobcummings3393]

Love your videos! I just got a Phantom 3 Standard for my 50th birthday! Summers here😊How about doing a video on beach etiquette, and shooting videos in public areas? Enjoy your summer!

[@yannick7898]

[@carsonmtech]

Hello there:) Thanks for subscribing!

[@kevinjobrien420]

I don't think you need to keep removing the sd card there is a micro-USB slot connection right above the camera gimble underneath that protective cover, plug that into your USB, PRO TIP

[@tatebowers1747]

Have you had any problem downloading pictures from the app? I have the phantom 3 standard as well and I used to be able to download the original picture from the app but lately it hasn't been working for me.

[@FUMan661]

I insert the SD card from the Phantom into my phone, import those files to the go app from the SD card, looks a lot better. Still not sure I'm getting the best quality however. Thanks for the video, I need to change my video settings in the GO app.

[@bradleyjacinto7732]

I'd like to just say thank you so much I just got my standard a week ago and couldn't figure out how to get the raw footage with this video I can't thank you enough for teaching me this lesson. Keep up the great work love your vids :)

[@bradleyjacinto7732]

Oh Also is Final Cut Pro free or do you have to pay and how much of you have to pay

[@jonathanwrightson9974]

How in this world are you using the go FOUR app for a phantom 3 standard? They aren't compatible, or at least that is what I have been told many times. I would much rather the 4 app than the original, so could you show me how to rig that up? Thanks

[@carsonmtech]

It is not the DJI Go 4 app. It’s just the iOS version for the P3S is much better than the one for Android.

[@jonathanwrightson9974]

Ok

[@alsuth803]

Great content Dude...thx

[@carsonmtech]

Yep!

[@3phatboy2]

What’s the point of having your phone plugged to your drone controller?? New to flying drone

[@3phatboy2]

Ace Plays i understand using phone... but why is it plugged in is what I’m asking

[@droneskyview2874]

Thank you. Was stuck at 100 iso and really the video quality very poor unless it happened to suit the conditions. Video quality is great now

[@Doja421]

Thank a lot for your vids, just got my P3S and have watched all regarding it, you've made it very clear and simple on "how to" and tips are great as well, keep it up brother!

[@joned1000]

You know you're rich when you got a basket ball court in your backyard😫

[@CHARLIEH502]

What king of sd card are you using to record video on 2.7k at 30 fps? Reading and writing mgb/s?

[@lindycat4192]

I was wondering when flying on a mountain does altitude remain consistent with settings if so how do I need to do any preflight settings seems like everyone is flying in open areas

[@onthedownlow100]

Really love your videos buddy! Keep 'em coming.

[@carsonmtech]

Thank you so much man!

[@78wesley]

how many flights or hours of flying you got now ???

[@bogdanb544]

Can you just connect a USB port cord from your drone to your computer instead of having the SD card converter?

[@thoick8309]

no wonder why my footage looks like shit...

[@dennishetman832]

Why can’t I shoot 30 FPS only 24 or 25

[@jasondounine3819]

You need to get an iroller for your dirty phone

[@carsonmtech]

True

[@andrewpotenza740]

Nice image flip in the end card cause you pointed the wrong way that was actually really slick

P3S run on app DJI GO p4 ?

[@ZacharyC]

What about getting the best quality out off a picture?

[@jamie123b]

My neighbour got angry at me flying my P3 from my garden :(

[@carsonmtech]

Well...if it's on your property I don't see what they're mad about xD

[@jamie123b]

Carson Miller Well I did fly around a bit outside of my garden but I was at 200 ft!

[@Marco911]

Someone called the police on me for flying over state(Germany) property lol

[@jamie123b]

Marco R. Some people are such killjoys!

[@JoeMaxFpv]

Jamie B in the u.s as long as you take off and land from your property or public property you can fly over almost anything other than people or airports. Technically. I had a police officer get mad about me flying over the hick town police station. But the chief came out and said as a hobbyist I have the right to video anything I want. But if I land on their property I'm out a drone.

[@TractorScott]

Are you thinking of getting a new drone?

[@carsonmtech]

Yep! I am definitely wanting to purchase the Mavic Pro. However, at this time is an awkward time to be purchasing it as the DJI Mavic Pro 2 may likely be announced/released in September of this year. So I'm going to wait until then and see if a newer Mavic is released before purchasing!

[@victordumitrasc3957]

Hi, I have a question, how do you use the dji go 4 to work with the standard Dji Phantom 3 standard?

[@droneabovethenetherlands6961]

Since i chance the settings the image on the Phone is darker, can you help me with this?

[@joemcglinchey5280]

Good vid bro keep it up

[@carsonmtech]

Thank you!

[@italianstallion2219]

Why can't I change my camera quality

[@YRDC-gb9re]

How do i make sure to record using sd card and not the app?

[@carsonmtech]

As long as you have an SD card in the drone that has space on it, the drone/app will automatically choose the SD card

[@davidjames9869]

Thanks for this video, would love to see more like this. Can I ask that next time you slow your speech down a bit? 🙂

[@alexjardine3761]

U should leave it on vivid idk but in my opinion it is the best

[@carsonmtech]

Meh. My personal opinion on vivid is that it’s too over saturated and just doesn’t look right. I didn’t explain much of why I keep mine on normal, but the reasoning is because I’m more of a believer in post color correcting which is quite often the better option considering you can color the footage to look like the rest of your video. However, sometimes I’m lazy so I don’t get to coloring and in that case, I just use the original footage shot in normal which most closely matches my other cameras. I would say just use what works best for you, but I like the way that normal looks more than the vivid does when I’m combining it with other shots.

[@devenmunisami6801]

hi can i convert the video to mp4

[@anthonykenny1120]

Another great video, my sd card seems to be stuck, any ideas thanks

[@motan490]

Did you bought Final Cut Pro?

[@carsonmtech]

Yep! But a free 30 day trial can be found on the Apple Website.

[@dodgeadams7162]

You are so helpful I was sad with the quality and u helped me boost it a ton! Keep making these videos man!

[@Ray25hua]

How did you record the screen on your phone?

[@elmerilindstrom5553]

My maxs huality is 25 fps fhy
