[@s.kdronesrc7044]

Carson Miller thx this video really helps

[@leegenix]

Thank you ,Carson. Two days ago I lost contact (Disconnnected) with mine and started acting goofy. It hovered about 50 feet and got it landed safely. I'm going to do the Reset like you've shown.

[@ItsK.R6]

Carson Miller how do you change the name of a Bluetooth device like u did yours??

[@mackenziehopkinson]

Carson Miller hi Carson please could you reply if you could or if anyone could reply that would be great I'm getting that drone soon and I need to know if I'm in a flyaway situation what should I do put it in f mode or the other one that is GPS please reply

[@Kistou13]

I've been watching videos and tutorials on P3S for weeks and quite honestly...yours are the best I've watched...Clear, concise and straight to the point! Two Thums up!!!!

[@Eric-mb1do]

This Carson guy answers everything

[@carsonmtech]

:)

[@waynegreene6405]

He is my go to guy if I have a problem, he explains anything perfectly so I understand it.

[@michaelcawdrey8300]

Yours are definitely the pick of the P3S videos I've seen. Thanks again!

[@carsonmtech]

Thank you again! And also, no problem!

[@GrabAndThrow]

My man! You solved it for me. Had to reset the WiFi...and you helped. Thank you! Fantastic vids.

[@sebastian_philippinen]

your videos are awesome. they are the reason why i would like to buy the phantom 3 standard.

[@carsonmtech]

Thank you Sebastian!!

[@MrBraddyman]

I sent you a question about the P3 Standard responding backwards. Basically, up is down, left is right... unless you move the remote sticks so gently. Otherwise, it’s almost impossible to fly. Well I figured it out. It was just a simple calibration of the remote in settings. There are several blogs about people having this same issue. If you make a video of this... so many people will watch. I bought my drone from eBay. The man also had the same issue. That’s why I got it so cheap.LOL! I thought I had a brick drone and almost returned it until I finally figured it out last night. If you don’t make a video, I’ll do it. But yours are better than I could make and I’m not trying to get a bunch of people asking me questions as I’m still learning from guys like you who already know what your talking about. There are many people who need this help. Thanks again for all your videos. You’ve helped me a lot. 👍

[@trwgaming1472]

If your phone runs out of battery and you can't see it or it's far away you can flick the s2 switch and it will return that's why it's a feature

[@b.sconnell2900]

This kid has great information. Way better the DJI tutorial

[@2525Cornelius]

Carson Miller you Are The Best drone youtuber its a shame that you only have 2000 subs. Great videos keep up The GOOD work😀👍🔥

[@carsonmtech]

Thank you so much:)! I will!

[@bulldogg48161]

You are answering all the questions I have been wondering about. Thanks Carson

[@carsonmtech]

No problem Steve!

[@fragile1976]

I was glad to find this, got a message on my phone that it had "overheated" and was closing all applications before turning off. I wasn't sure of the orientation of the drone about 2500 feet away, luckily was able to fly it back. Using the switch on the left will give some peace of mind.

[@rensie14c6]

thanks for these tips there were a real help for my Drone . keep up the good work

[@carsonmtech]

No problem! I'm really glad I was able to help you out:)

[@KRAMFPV]

Dude, I just got mt P3S and your videos are so much better than DJI's own tutorials!! Thank you so much for making all these videos man!!

[@finnp7871]

I finally know what the heck the S2 switch does

[@Sussybaka80800]

I’d rather watch this than go through the manual to look for this

[@andryrakotomalala]

Dude I just found your channel and its hella helpful! Thanks so much for making this! I'm like binge watching your videos haha

[@carsonmtech]

Haha thank you so much! I'm glad I've been able to help you out a lot;-)

[@jamesh1404]

I remember the live stream when you hit 3k I totally forgot about your channel and just found it back when I got a notification from u on another video

[@richardatkinson6031]

thanks for the info. I like when people explain the whole processes. Its like a lot of people can drive a car but not everybody is a good driver. you are going to be successful if you keep up the good work. :)

[@carsonmtech]

That is probably the greatest analogy that I've ever heard about my videos xD

[@thetravellerfoulston6880]

Carson Miller : ]

[@RCCRAYZ]

This was very helpful. I've lost camera connection twice now and it would of came in handy. Now I know. Thanks!

[@endeavortrikes]

RTH via the switch is a must as many time the tablet or phone will loose connection or perhaps do a spontaneous reboot and you can't initiate RTH any other way than the switch. I say this as it just happened to me while flying over a lake. - Good stuff to know in advance.

[@PittwaterMowing]

Cool vids Carson Im enjoying them mate

[@tonyelberg7814]

Thanks mate appreciate your video, just bought one and this is great 👍

[@davidmartin8476]

Have viewed a number of your vids and love them. On the S2 vid you seemed to have left out the change of home point feature. Example, if I launch at one location and lets say use the follow me mode. I may end up quite a ways from the recorded home point at launch. If I lose contact and have to rth quickly it will fly back to where I launched. Instead, I can reset the home point to my current location by using the S2 switch. Simply clicking it back and forth 5 times it will reset home point to its present location. Then if later coms are lost, RTH will send it to my present location. Of course, all the normal warnings about being sure the new home point is safe to land in etc. I think this was a later update to the DJI STD 3 firmware sometime in 2015 or 16.

[@mjflorido5458]

I have to say very professional and knowledgeable videos. Thank you for the vids.

[@TheJoeyboots]

These videos are very helpful.

[@Yagodowy]

A lot of interesting tips in your movies. Greetings from Poland

[@vanhaus5022]

Carson, everyone of your videos are super helpful. I just bought a Standard 3 and was wondering about trying it without a phone or tablet. Can you show just how to safely fly from the controller? Thanks Scott

[@BenandUTube2012]

HI CARSON : THANK YOU !! This Vid saved me a lot of trouble trying to get Tech help from DJI . I tried to change WIFY pass word , by putting a # in it . My brand new Phantom 3 Standard rejected new pass word and erased the WI-FI SSID # and Password !! Would not take new SSID or Password . Thanks to your info. I reset video feed from controller to factory settings as you showed, and every thing returned to normal ! YEAH !! Now I can have First Flight I Hope. Again THX Ben V.

[@Lukhach07]

Good Info... Very helpful, Thanks

Thank you for all of your answers 😜

[@noahbromberg3675]

[@keshavdhouneeram4273]

Does it have sport mode? pls answer it am really confused

[@carsonmtech]

Keshav Dhouneeram Nope:/ all of the DJI Phantom 3 series and below don't have sport mode. However, the DJI Phantom 4 series and on up do have sports mode. Hope this helps:)

[@keshavdhouneeram4273]

Carson Miller Thx Man this is what i wanted to know anyway thx :)

[@jamesfrank3213]

Thanks for this. Nice to know I have a backup safety feature for RTH in case phone fails or I cant see drone anymore. Just flick the S2 twice and get it home.

[@josephmcguire6120]

[@fabiansilva1415]

I like oll of your videos,

[@JoshiiiXD]

in my drone it says battery signal error can you help me?(love ur vids)

[@carsonmtech]

I've never heard of that error I would suggest taking some time to do a couple google searches. In my opinion, if it's doing that you should probably send the battery back (if you bought it as a second battery) and get a replacement or contact DJI if it's the original battery you received with your drone to see if they will send you a replacement. Hope this helps!

[@chrono5108]

Thanks a ton dude.

[@FlightSim2703]

As usual very much helutiful. Thanks

[@edertoledo4274]

Hi Carson. I just have a question. Do you know if the P3S can fly indoors in Atti mode? Do you think that you can make a video about that? Please?

[@carsonmtech]

Hmmm I have tried that before but it didn't end to well xD. Honestly, as long as there aren't too many obstructions and things blocking gps signals, I would stay in P mode on the controller to fly indoors.

[@Humanhustlerr]

S2 helps prevent fly always, incase your drone drifts off quickly flipping the s2 mode will return the craft

[@rustingparts]

S1 switch *

[@diegogarcia2515]

Hey, new subscriber & and greetings from Mexico!

[@williewhitemalau9711]

Thank you for sharing

[@roymoon5247]

RTH via switch is there in case you have phone issues while out of sight.

[@rothencorvos]

Very good video Hey, I have some questions that you might be able to answer You have lag on the cell, talking about the image that the camera projects? Sometimes I have a lot of lag and the image freezes that is normal Has it happened to you?

[@carsonmtech]

Hmmm that only occasionally happens to me but ONLY happens when I'm flying long distances which makes sense. If you're having problems with closer range and the video cutting out, there must be a lot of interference near you causing that. Try taking your drone out somewhere that's far from anything that could cause interference and see if that makes any differences.

[@dorbsz]

Awesome channel! Can you make a video on why you don't use prop guard? Are there any disadvantages to using it other than the added weight? Does it affect flying? Thanks!

[@carsonmtech]

Thank you! Also, I probably won't make a video about it but basically I just have never tried them haha so I wouldn't really know what the disadvantages would be other than it makes the drone MUCH bigger than previously when storing it

[@13jacksonpa]

dorbsz I have prop guards, they slide on and off so you can travel without them taking up space. In theory it would add weight and wind resistance to your drone, but I honestly can't tell a difference. I also don't fly anywhere where they've been useful, but if I stumble upon that scenario I'll be prepared.

[@WARISIDEAS]

thank you realy helpful carson Blessings smiles ☺

[@vatoote8343]

great job buddy

[@daveknowshow]

question. on a p3 standard edition. seems that the drone thinks its in flight as soon as you start the engines. this means I have no auto launch mode to take off. it will land with auto if you manually take off. is this just a lemon p3 standard edition that needs to be returned? or is there something I'm doing wrong? I did calibrate the compass but that has not fixed the issue.

[@trips2gehter387]

Thanks

[@carsonmtech]

Yup!

[@noahorsley]

Just subscribed thank you!!! You helped me know that this was the drone I wanted

[@carsonmtech]

Thank you so much! I'm glad I could help you in your choosing of what drone to get:)

[@seniorgary9640]

great video but you need to slow down just a bit when talking about functions of the switches. so when you were switching the S 2 back and forth where did you actually leave it at ? looked like the middle position but couldn't see and you never said

[@mattvalmer1804]

Very clear and well thought out follow up video .enjoyed your vids keep it up .do you know anything about editing in app and how to get it to record in a format that the app will play.been having trouble with that.

[@johnm400uk]

Thanks for this video. I found out why you can return home with the switch! When you go out of range the phone app can disconnect as i found out today. It seems the actual controller is still connected to the aircraft though even when the phone app isnt so you can return home with the switch. I might be talking rubbish but thats my theory. Has anybody tried turning off the app mid flight to see what happens?

[@YPCrollo]

Get this guy to 14K Subs!!👍

hi i just got a phantom 3 standard and have a couple question and by the way great video's very informative and well done my question what postion should i have the s2 switch in ? iv had mine up haven't had any problems but i remember you saying in the video you have yours in the middle is there a difference or its not that crucial? thanks ahead of time Chase

[@directtalk1]

Another top tutorial. Thank you very much Maybe you can help me with answering a question? In England, UK, the P3S I understand is restricted to traveling a max of 500m away, horizontally that is. I don't want to push it too much but assuming I have a clear line of sight, 10+ satellites and I'm in P-Mode, what happens when I get to 500M? Can I go further, say to 700M? Also, can I go further then 500M in A-Mode? I assume as there are no satellites the restrictions on distance are not controlled automatically so much? Your advise on that also appreciated.! T many suggestions online but you seem to have a good handle on all this Thanks

[@ziggyzbeak]

THANK YOU

[@carsonmtech]

YOUR WELCOME😂

[@winstonsmkr]

My p3 stnd is ordered and on it's way , My only concern is my phone, hopefully it does what it's supposed to , it's not on the list of recommended phones (HTC DESIRE ONE)

[@epicmcswaggerpants2063]

If I were to use a wifi only iPad would I need to be next to a house or building with wifi to use it or would I just need to connect to the drones wifi. I know I won't have gps functions but I'm still not sure how the whole wifi thing works.

[@carsonmtech]

Nope! Cellular data (or internet connection) is NOT needed when flying the DJI Phantom 3 Standard...just a WiFi connection. The only time an internet connection is needed is for logging into your DJI Go account and also if you're wanting to unlock a NFZ you'll need an internet connection.

[@nuyork77]

So, a friend of mine gave me a Phantom 3 that had dropped into a pool... The remote was not damaged, and the drone itself does power on with two blinking lights, and two solid. I tried re-pairing the remote to see if that was the issue, but even after holding the button in for several seconds during the pairing mode, it does not pair and so I am not able to use the drone. Any recommendations for other ways to get this working again? I don't mind replacing parts, but this is my first drone and honestly I have no idea what to check first. I would definitely appreciate any feedback from you. Thanks so much!

[@britishrcplayground4929]

Did you have to link it to the drone when you took it out of the box? Or first time flying?

[@walterkersting1362]

Imagine a phantom 3, just however many times larger it would have to be for one to grab hold of the skids and ascend vertically to 5000’ or so and just let go and hit the chute. You take off in your back yard and land in the park. Just for fun...

[@carsonmtech]

That’d definitely be interesting. Casey Neistat has flown on a human sized drone before. KZbin search it!

[@207moto4]

I think the reason it also had return to home on the controller is if your phone dies.

[@carlossimmonssr3294]

HI CAN I INSTALL A IPAD MINI ON MY DJI PHANTOM 3 STANDARD I CAN NOT FIND A HOW TO VIEDO ON THIS

[@carsonmtech]

I think you're meaning on your controller? If you do mean that, I have seen some controller mounts that you can add to the DJI Phantom 3 Standard controller in order to be able to use an iPad!

[@mazenkanso]

THANKS FOR YOUR INSTRUCTIONS, BBUT HOW DID YOU GET A BIGGER LOCATION SCREEN TO APPEAR ON THE LEFT BOTTOM SCREEN OF YOUR APP? THANKS

[@Bigbassin_TV]

I bought a dji phantom 3 standard off of eBay and I am having some issues with the drone. When I connect everything up to my drone and i scroll up or down on the scroll wheel on the side. The camera doesn't move at all. When it is completely powered off everything else moves freely on the gimble except for the joint that makes the camera move up and down. Everything else about the gimble works perfectly but moving the camera up or down. - Would be great if I could get some help

[@gregdallie6466]

Carson are you related to the Newmar Millers? It looks like their are motorhome chassis parked near your house.
