Tom's Tech Time ok

[@ThedChan]

Tom's Tech Time what app did u used?

[@callmecue]

Thanks Tom. My grandfather has aged to the point where he can't take care of his rural lands as he should so I need to drive around my family's property and record video so that they can all see what is overgrown and needs to be tended to. I've learned a lot watching this particular video. Thumbs UP!!

[@justinengstrom6701]

Thank you for making these fantastic videos! They are always very professionally done and informative. Keep up the great work!

[@Jan-ey6ml]

For all of you wondering if you can just take the phone with you: Yes, that is possible (Android only) but a little complicated. What you need is a second phone with GPS. There are GPS routing apps available that you can set up. This way, you take one phone in your pocked, that phone records the GPS and sends it to the second phone. The second phone is connected to the RC and uses the GPS data from the phone in your pocked. Hope that helps... Safe flight!

[@DroneFun]

Wonderful work Tom, as always. Very impressed with the quality of your videos and the information provided. Simple and right to the point. You are a young guy with a promising future, be sure.

[@Bunthoeurn]

I always thump up for all of your videos. :)

[@adam_g.]

Bunthoeurn Sarik you thump up? Sounds disturbing...

[@milesodonnol4456]

Many thanks. Excellent content, excellent video, excellent steps and hints. I have benefited from your other tuts as well. After checking your donate page, I notice you put in roughly one hour's work for every minute of video runtime. One of the secrets to quality, I guess.

[@StewartVlogs]

Another great review!

[@bigboyz12000]

Great vid! Can't wait to test this on my Phantom!

[@madbeachcrewjk]

[@Arlo360]

The printed text and "hints" to the left are great. Do you have these available in PDF or know where I can find them?

[@zenflyer6048]

Great tutorial, thank you for posting, planning on using the follow me mode to be able to film some neighborhoods so will be experimenting with speed, height and gimbal angle to keep the vehicle out of the shot...any advise?

Great video! Thank you so much!!

[@losttouristpresents]

thanks for the tutorial, subscribed .

[@jobertsevilleno]

Hello Tom, appreciate your tutorials and great information. My suggestion which hopefully this turn out to be good comments for your viewers and for yourself. First, the sunglasses on your head have to be removed. 2nd, speak at the normal speed. You don’t want your audience to be dazzled on chasing your talk. Pause at the end of your sentences and in this way won’t appear mumbled. Hope this helps.

[@Louisdallaraphotography]

Great video Tom Thanks be well fly safe

[@VLOGNOSIS]

You have so much energy. Do you take any controlled substances?

[@milesjopillo]

[@Jessewatt]

[@hkn1894]

Thanks Tom its very useful.

[@DarrenHedlund]

Awesome stuff!

[@ChrisinGalvestonTX]

With the newest update to the DJI app there is now a button that appears on the left side of the screen to access the follow me feature. So, toggle F-mode, hit button on left side of screen under the auto-land & auto-takeoff, agree to terms of follow me stuff, then happy flying!

[@KSCBlackshapes]

Great video thanks!

[@Tharindu43]

the scenery is really nice

[@BobbyL80123]

Good tutorial. Thanks.

[@dpirch531]

Cool video! I have to try this out soon! Thumbs up!

[@flymovies]

very nice video, thumbs up! Could you please share which app you have used to capture the ipad screen? Or was this simply through hdmi-out?

[@jamestomey9271]

Great Job!

[@nascojGTR]

Good video!

[@croisanmountain]

Thank you good Tom. Can you instruct the drone to follow your phone or must if film the big controller device in your hands. Or is there an optional add on so you don't have to film the actor which such a huge device?

[@joringauci4036]

If you use the Internet wifi 3 g on the iPad mini 3 does interfere with the phantom ? Thanks

[@MM-se3rg]

[@tud_looneytunes3178]

i subscribed & liked your video :) i have a DJI spark but i cant find the intelli fly modes (or advanced settings)

[@dr7asans]

thanx for the tutorial, but what would happen if the copter is following u and u climbed a hill ? will it keep the altitude 10m from u or it will stay in the previous altitude ?

[@bigmac4124]

Thanks tom! Nothing in the manual about this!

[@robertsmithe9941]

I am looking into buying a Dji Phantom 3 and need to buy a tablet to go along with it. I would like to be able to use the Follow me mode which leads me to ask you which tablet did you use when doing the "how to use follow-me mode"

[@edvishenderson8396]

wanted to know how you can get the dji to circle around you in follow me mode

[@50deserteagle]

Great video found the donate button Thanks!

[@SteveBalbonisHammer]

Good info!

[@fastfix.indonesia]

nice video, nic area to fly...

[@adividhi171]

thank you.....it is awesome

[@BillRTube]

Have you tried this with the Phantom 4? It works differently for me than the 3 did.

[@pottymandotty4308]

Thanks for the instructional video. Just updated my bird and I can't wait to try this. I want to ride my motorcycle and have my Phantom follow me.

[@cafe_sora]

Very Useful!

[@dehnermdeleon]

Can you still use yaw while in follow me mode? (toggle left and right of the left stick) Thanks!

[@bobk9412]

Hey Tom, If you were to use the sticks to circle the car will the camera still follow by rotating the copter?

[@dronewsclicks-fotosefilmag7341]

Hello , congratulations on the channel , I am unable to activate follow me function of the following error: No sensor is found on the mobile device.Cannot integrate IMU data. What is the problem ?

[@TheStoneReport]

Thank you!

[@sifiskontaxakis]

hello, what do you recommend in order to follow a Stand up paddle surfer in the sea... which mode i should choose...free fly , follow me or waypoints mode? the follow me mode is necessary to follow a person that keeps in his hand remote controller, is that right?

[@rubenfelaphotophoto]

hey dude,,, wassup!!! listen,, any chance on uploading videos on P4 and some how to enable active tracking ?

[@raybarbourphotography349]

Tom, Can the Phantom 4 be programed to follow the ground terrain while filming? I would like it to stay the same height from the ground as the surface changes.

[@rickkremer0525]

Great video., I really enjoy watching and learning from your videos. Question for you. I have a IPad 3 mini wifi version only. If i toggle my android phone to be a hot spot with GPS on, can I use my phone as a link to the Ipad in order for the DJI P3 to follow me?. Thanks, Rick

[@TomsTechTime]

+Rick Kremer I thought of that question as well already, but didn't test that yet. I think because the positioning of the Phantom mainly depends on location services (as GPS and Glonass) it won't work out well, but maybe you can give it a try and report here or on Facebook (facebook.com/groups/tomstechtime)? Stay tuned and fly safe!

[@aloysiusberkers9804]

Hi Tom i have bought myself a phantom 3 advanced and i have don somme flicghts with this working good and i have the go app but when igo to 10 +meters up and clik the follow and say apply ,t say in the left top corner " the follow me position is invaled please try again " can please inform me what i do wrong or what i have to do to solve this greetings

[@sergiutintiuk]

Drone fallows you only if you have the remote or you can set up to fallow someone else?

[@OmahaTValex]

Awesome!
