Testing modes: IOC / HL / GPS / ATTI / Manual

[@Ed.Miller]

Nice! This really helps a lot. I've lost orientation when getting far away and it's nice to see I an switch to HL and have it return.

[@SimulationandAviation]

GReat..... I have actually gone totally to manual when I am filming now....PHantastic machine. I can see you are having great fun with it as well.... I will soon get som nice wild scenery movies out filmed in the Faroe Islands. Still a litle concerned flying over water, but getting more risk taking... :)

[@thedailyvibe]

Thanks for the videos!! I have had my DJI Phantom for less than a week and haven't had a chance to try the Course and Home lock features. I need to get that set up as the HL features looks especially useful.

[@ThatHPIGUY]

I have not got around to testing it yet mate, but when I do a range test with the futaba I will try use it to show you the view I'm getting.

[@ThatHPIGUY]

sorry for the slow reply, yes the power is supplied through the sbus cable. no need for anything else :)

[@ScottsUtubeWorld]

Great tips! Good idea to test fly at low altitude, and put contact info. on the drone. Happy flying! -Scott

Something worth mentioning in your video is the 10mtr rule when in Home Lock mode as the controller will automatically switch into Course Lock mode when you come back to 10mtrs from the recorded Home position. It can be confusing for those that don't no about it and cause disorientation in your flight.

[@ThatHPIGUY]

I will start work on that tonight mate, I want to make sure I get it 100% right so as not to crash everyones phantoms.

[@ThatHPIGUY]

great mate, let me know when the vids are up.

[@vracan]

IOC is meant to be used when the phantom is far and cannot see it's orientation(not just for beginners). For me Homelock is what sold me in buying the phantom2 and love that feature!

[@xKELxPAYNE]

WoW so many options it's unreal. Thumbs up.

[@ThatHPIGUY]

did you see it spinning around doing 360's, it shows that no matter what way it it pointing if I push the right stick forward it will go foward, its the same for left /right & backwards

[@MANOSRC]

NICE VIDEO....GOOD EXPLANATION OF THE FUNCTIONS...THUMBS UP!!!

[@chorianopoulos2002]

Waiting for your instructional video on the Futaba receiver setup on the DJI Phantom.

[@ThatHPIGUY]

yeh, it was fun to fly around whilst doing spins haha, I could of done with the homelock the other day when my camera turned off during flight and I was lost lol

[@ThatHPIGUY]

I personally use Sony Vegas Pro 11, its very powerful and easy to use, you can learn very easy from watching tutorials on youtube

[@ohnoitsfraa]

You can if you use Parallels or VMWare Fusion, I use my Macbook while I'm traveling so I had to find something to connect my Phantom to the Mac. You'll need a copy of Windows 7 or 8 to install the OS though, but it works flawlessfly once it's setup.

[@ThatHPIGUY]

IOC (CL) and HL need to be enabled by connecting it to you're computer, it is disbaled when it come from factory. download the phantom assistant software and connect the phantom to the PC.

[@footlaunch1]

Nice informative vids. What have you found is the best edit program to use with the Hero 3

[@CliveOHagan]

Thanks for that, I will look into it!

[@metatron2332]

Very instuctive! Thank you. Easy to change these modes by switch but not easy for me to change them same time in brain I think. :-)

[@ThatHPIGUY]

no not really, the battery box is very small so upgrades are hard to find.

[@ThatHPIGUY]

I personally use Sony Vegas Pro 11 mate, I have the hero 2 not the 3.

[@emgee44]

Nice vid. I've just bought the T8J and I just wanted to confirm something. Is the power for the rx supplied thru the s-bus lead or do I need to plug in a separate cable? I know this may sound dumb but I'm still new to this, thanks

[@Lenny7118]

I watched your video and than the video from DJI, I'm a bit confused on the CL mode still.

[@smithyrtd]

i nice videos, can you connect the phantom to a mac?

[@CliveOHagan]

Hi can you recommend a good video footage editor. I just bought a dji F 550 with hero 3 camera and want something that's handy to get my head around to edit footage.

[@BRIANFORWARD1]

Hi Good informative vid 2 questions tho 1 what flight time are you getting on a 2200 battery. 2 WHY ARE YOU WEARING ODD TRAINERS KEEP THEM VIDS COMING BRIAN LONDON

[@EF2000CanFly]

OH so you do have to enable it by the CPU. None told me that even in the manuals and tutorials. Thanx

[@ThatHPIGUY]

thanks buddy

[@Theredbaron3]

" Thanks " i find the update on DJI one question / must i set a batterij in the phantom and my radio on to download this software.

[@xicofixas]

are you going to increase the flight time?

[@zero00tolerance]

Hello exactly what do you have to do in the assistant software ? Thanks

[@Theredbaron3]

I have my Fantom now 2 weeks my gps mode work but cl & hl dont work. dji tels when you buy a Phantom it is " Ready to fly " i aim a bigginer maybe you can help me what i must do to let it work " CL & HL "greets and thanks. And your vid are Toppie

[@davedeja]

Very nice video and explanation of the different modes. The manual is not very clear on the real effects of these modes. They really should do something about the poor grammar in these manuals :) Thanks for sharing.

[@TONYT123]

hi...i opened the software and checked ioc and home lock...but it nstill responds like it is in cl or whatever...any help?

[@janniboy2405]

do you know of any mods NOT to combine? to have a real fly away?

[@angelurena6137]

That doesn't look like the standard controller that comes with a DJI Phantom. Can you tell us what kind it is and where we can get one. Most importantly, I'm color blind and can't tell the difference between the yellow and green blinking lights. Does the display tell you if you have a GPS home lock?

[@husky041]

Looks like a Futaba T8J transmitter.

[@kevscollection]

hey mate nice video, I have the same set up naza lite on a hex, but would like to lock in my altitude. ie. get it up to ten meters then flick a switch so if I accidently move the throttle up while flying around the done doesn't go up as well? then flick the switch back and regain full control. could you make a how to vid on that ? or have you seen any? thanks kev

[@subsonicreviews1835]

One question please. Can you start the quad with Home lock mode always on ? As a permanent option? I only have one 3pos switch on my TX for gpsAtt, Att and Fale safe, so i would like to have on a 2 pos switch the Home lock . Can this be done? Ty

[@ThatHPIGUY]

no PC mate

[@ThatHPIGUY]

cool stuff isnt it :)

[@ThatHPIGUY]

haha I pressed the wrong switch when trying IOC. it can get a little confusing. :)
