DJI PHANTOM 2 WALKTHROUGH 

Hahaha! Thanks GG7clips. Yip I wasn't quite sure why people would be sticking an extra £700 onto a phantom before they had even tried flying it yet :D I still see so many people getting flyaways because of having the gorpo wifi on. Looks like reading the manual just isn't an option anymore :) Love your channel too.

True, true! If only I knew that back when I started :)

That's great Thanks Dexter Allen! So hows it going with the new Phantom?

Thanks dudeinthesea! Please send us some links when you finally get your bird in the air. best of luck!

Thanks abdulla janahi. So glad you found it useful.

Thanks Lost & Found Travel. Looking forward to flying in some new locations this year. Will be sure to post stacks of videos :)

Travizeo, the travel video company Pulling the trigger on this exact setup finally. Can't freaking wait. Too bad its winter now.

That's awesome Lost & Found Travel We've just pulled the trigger on the inspire 1. I may have some extra's and spares for you, drop us an email sometime.

Gracias David! Glad it helped you out. Good luck with your first few flights. Just take it slow and you should be fine :)

Thanks Tom Janssen Checked out your video, nice work! Great edit. It really is loads of fun right. We just flew with Lightbridge out in South Africa over the wildlife. Should be some good videos coming up :)

Travizeo, the travel video company Thanks! I'm looking forward to it! should be some awesome vids!

Thanks for watching Peter Vines and thanks for all the tips! Ive learned all those things since making this video, but thanks all the same :) I think it's time to make the next video with some new tips, just waiting for our friends at Heliguydotcom to get some new kit in :)

Thanks for the awesome comment Paul Bissett :) So glad you found it useful. Ive just got some new gear so will hopefully be doing lots more tutorials soon. Please subscribe if you would like to see more - bit.ly/1e6VOZM

Thanks for watching Beau Amanda B, and for the sub :)

Thanks TheLEVEL101. Really glad you found it useful. Thanks for stopping by :)

Thanks for watching Brian Levy and thanks for the tip. I'll certainly try that one next time.

Thanks kw34ok, that vid is great! Love the near miss at 0:08, pretty hairy, but nice flying! Thanks for the sub too :)

Travizeo, the travel video company Thanks for the comment - yes, the heart was beating when I had the near miss....... ! Greetings from Wales :-)

Thanks formattester6! Don't forget to sub :) ru-vid.com

That would certainly be a good idea Trevor Whiting. It only takes about a week to get your brain tuned into 4 channel flying, so sharpening up your muscle memory for that before your fly a phantom will certainly help, and if you crash with a smaller craft, the damage and cost will certainly be much less.

Thanks trainmman :) I know it can be very confusing, I guess you don't have course lock and home lock on your blade?

Wow, thanks for the enthusiasm Joseph jo. I wont need any rewards though, just having a little fun. Thanks for watching.

Our absolute pleasure Daniel Baz! Thanks for watching.

No worries, thanks for watching Harry Kong. Im not 100% sure on this, but I think it might work in Phantom mode. I only figured it out after switching on NazaM mode. Give it a try and if it doesn't work, then you most probably will need to switch to NazaM mode with the DJI assistant software. Just remember, you need to have the stick exactly in the middle.

Yip, that is one of the features Jourei Mahtavankätyri. Maybe I'll try and add that to the next video. Thanks for watching :)

Absolutely loving it L BS!! Especially now, with our Futaba T8J and Lightbridge system with FPV on a google nexus. It makes such a difference when you can see what you are filming. Just did some awesome flights over herds of elephants in South Africa, so please do Subscribe and stay tuned for the next few videos - ru-vid.com

Thx Alex Wise Love your channel! The steel wool long exposure idea was awesome! :)

Travizeo Thanks mate! I think your clip has persuaded me to purchase. I was a bit reluctant on how well this thing would fly in the wind and the quality of the GoPro but you have me sold! Keep them coming.

Thanks so much Alex Wise. Cant wait to see what you come up with. For stills the phantom vision is now offering RAW :) But the video is not that great! Also recently saw this amazing DIY fix for the GoPro. Im a little scared to try it, but the results look awesome - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SnLdpSRMsEs.html

Thanks Lenny7118. Yip, it's best to leave the P2 as stock standard when you get it. Once you feel more comfortable and are able to fly further confidently, then you can look into switching to NazaM mode. That'c 100% correct, in HL left is left, right is right no matter which way the P2 is facing.

Haha, stoked to hear that Invincible Don1. Ive actually started feeling more confident lately in landing the P2 on it's own now, but catch landings are, for me at least, always a sure fire way of getting the bird down in one piece :)

I've learned how to land however catch landing is still the best in my opinion lol. It just looks awesome and everyone goes crazy when it's done. Just plain cool 😏 also I fly a lot at the beach so landing on sand is a nono lol

The 1st set of green flashing lights are so it knows forward second green flashing is so it knows its home😀 never heard of naza mode phantom mode?

You can change it between modes from within the DJI Phantom 2 Assistant Software. Click the Phantom button at top right of screen

Will have look tom?

Thx Tony Marchant. I didn't know that about the 1st and 2nd flashes! That's really good to know :D To be honest chriscox303. Nothing really changes, you just get a few more functions. GPS and Atti still fly the same, I feel more secure knowing that I have home lock available for when I cant see which way the P2 is facing. Just don't switch the bottom right lever to manual!! Rather set it to failsafe (go home and land).

This was quite a while ago Talon276, Im sure the newer models and stock should be ok by now. Good luck and please do send us some links when your first video is up. Thanks for watching :)

Yes I have @PeterCarroll it works great. Thanks for watching ;)

Cheers Thanks buddy! We are massive fans of your channel ThatHPI GUY!! Lets chat soon about getting you down to Brighton for a fun fly day in summer :)

There may be a few more I don't know of, but these are the one's I found: In P2 Mode you only have GPS & ATTI functions, In NazaM you have GPS, ATTI, Failsafe/Manual, CL and HL. You also have a different set of LED sequences. But I would recommend sticking to P2 mode for now, until you feel a bit more confident.

Thanks for watching Jon Russell, and for the sub ;) I didn't do the compass dance that day as I had flown their previously, and my flight the day before was not far from there. Generally you only need to calibrate if you are flying a very different location, and you notice visible drifting, but it is a good idea to calibrate before flights anyway. Good luck with your Phantom, send us some links to your flights when the videos are up. cheers

Thanks man. Really nice video. I've been hearing some horrible stories of flyaways so this has put my mind at ease a bit :)

Jon Russell the new P2 with H3-3D comes with an interference board, hopefully that should sort out all these fly-aways or as we like to call them "the Go-Home... to china" :)

Unfortunately not Nick Walters, I've only flown with the Phantom 2 so far, but the FC40 seems to be quite similar in basic setup. It's quite nice that you get FPV right out the box with a smart phone. Reply with any specific questions and ill try my best to find out for you with our suppliers at @heliguydotcom

Awesome Tony Hobbs Thanks for watching :) Have you ordered the new P2 with H3-3D? Might have to wait a few weeks for stock.

Yes I have. Quadcopters UK :-) I started wanting a phantom maybe Jan, so looked at videos, wanted the 2D gimbal and iosd but a part was out of stock (I need it all fitted for me lol I'm not technical minded). It came in stock same time the 3D gimbal was revealed lol. So I put my wallet on that. Ops ;-) So a few more weeks OK. I want to take it camping in the summer to Dartmoor. Initially. Just a toy lol :-)

Tony Hobbs Thats great! If you can wait, I would rather wait for the new H3-3D. It's a lot more stable and I'm hoping that in the new P2 and gimbal combo's they have also secretly fixed the fly away problems ;) Yeah ThatHPI GUY Richard is super helpful! And he is very techy with this stuff too, so im sure they can do a much better job of putting it together as well!! Send us a link when you finally get up and flying. Cheers

Yip! Whilst I'm paying full whack I owe Rich for his patience lol;) I too hope it won't fly away. But it might see me and take flight lol!!! Rich is setting it all up and software etc. I'm hoping he'll set it for one handed use I've seen folks turning blades off with one stick. I know absolutely nothing about this stuff so it'll be very basic for awhile. It just looks great fun and will add an extra element to my videos.

Tony Hobbs Yes Fly Away's are very scary!! I might be mistaken, hopefully ThatHPI GUY guy can verify this, but I think the one handed shutdown only works if you have switched the P2 from Phantom mode to NazaM mode in the assistant software. I would recommend not doing that just yet. rather get a few flights under your belt and when you feel comfortable, then give it a go. It's really easy to do it yourself and all it does is give you the course/home lock functions on the left side levers and the failsafe function on the right side lever. Best to set the failsafe to go home then land, instead of just land. It looks like you visit some great places on your channel. Looking forward to seeing your videos once you are up and flying!

Hi abdulla janahi. I think this music came from The Audio Network. Sorry, cant remember which song off the top of my head, but i can search for it when i get back form my travels. Let me know if you want me to look. cheers

Thanks for watching 08Budweiser Unfortunately all I had to practice in was this tiny park. Wouldn't really even call it a park. More like a patch of grass surrounded by devil trees! But I'm making lemonade man!!... making lemonade!

No offence taken at all Laurie Benjamin. This was literally a few weeks after getting the Phantom, so we still had a lot to learn :) and that is half the fun right?

Oh, and i did get the rapid green flash at 7:48 (had to re-watch it myself :)

Hi Laurie and Travizeo, I just got my Phantom 2 and want to fly it tomorrow but I am super scared. First, do I have to download firmware before my first flight? I don't have an fpv system and I only have one battery so far. I have a smaller quad that I only fly indoors. The first time I took it outside, it freaked me out. I was afraid I was going to hit someone. Tomorrow I want to practice with both. I am not afraid for the smaller Quad but I am concerned about flying too high or crashing the Phantom. I am going upstate next week, would I have to re-calibrate when I get there?

You should calibrate after ever upgrade. I personally believe that you should keep your phantom 2 at the latest firmware at all times especially this 3.06. As a beginner you should go into an open space and make sure u have gps mode on after your home position is locked. When taking off don't be afraid, just pump that baby off the floor. If your try to do it slowly you just might get a tip over from the ground effect. All the best !

Laurie Benjamin Hi Laurie! Thanks for responding. I will get the latest firmware soon but I did fly it today and it was awesome. I didn't go far because I don't have an fpv system and I only have one battery but it was great. I am really glad I bought the phantom. One more question, so the antenna should be bended?

Thanks for your honest comment Peter Evans, ill be sure to keep only the relevant stuff in the next one. Don't forget to Sub :) ru-vid.com

Tbh Eric Fling by the time I realised I needed prop guards... I didn't need them anymore. If that makes sense? :) Thanks for watching.

Travizeo, the travel video company Oh gotcha! Ya I'm glad I bought the guards with the Phantom.

At the time of making this video, I wasn't a big fan of prop-guards MontiR Aruba Now that I know how much they could have helped, I don't need them anymore. Such is life :) Thanks for watching.

Travizeo, the travel video company I want to look into getting my own but don't know where to start first. I have the GoPro camera already. Any tips or suggestions to where I can get a good deal and have good technical support?

MontiR Aruba Where do you live? If you are able to order from the UK then I can suggest www.heliguy.com. Ive had great service from them so far. Always happy to chat on the phone and offer any advice I need. Your best bet is to go for the latest Phantom 2 with Zenumse H3-3D. Do you have a Gopro 3 or 3+? Either of those will work with the zenmuse. Good luck and send us some links once you have shot your first aerial video :D

Yeah we know that now thanks cenmike82 You live, you learn :)

Thanks Wouter Jansen, I learned that shortly after making this video :) At least there is always something new to learn.

Hahaha! Thanks Frans van schie That's hopefully the idea for one day :)

Ja Meneer :) Ek vlieg Jozi toe Donderdag, Lanklaas by die huis!

Travizeo, the travel video company Enjoy your time back in Jozi!

Hahaha! You have me in stitches here brianfindsall :) You kinda do sound old fashioned, but I totally know what you mean. That kind of stuff used to annoy me too. Being in editing I kind of had to get over it due to the stock music that's available. tbh, i'd put some soft zeppelin in the background if I could, but there just really is no good stock music like that. I think EDM stock music has developed a lot more than any of the other genres lately. But massive thanks for the tip and comment. I really do appreciate you guys letting me know what you like and don't like about our videos. Ill keep this in mind for the next one. Cheers

Lol, Yea guess i am a bit of an old fart, lol. I love all kinds of music, yea mainly older stuff granted 50s 60s 70s 80s and 90s...But There are a good smattering of modern stuff too. But my grind is, is that i like to keep my learning and listening seperate from my music time, Which i do have, yes i may be an old fart but i have approx 2,000 songs on my tablet which i play quite often through my bluetooth speakers,,,,yea bluetooth.....not windup grammerphone,lol....Anyway i really like your vids, there are some real good educational and intresting stuff. so please don,t be offendedd by my rant, it,s just that it kinda spoils my watching listening and absorbing experience.....Keep em coming.....Oh I just had me first real flying day today with my new phantom.....i ran four batts down and really enjoyed it. wow i love these drone thingymabob,s cool.....I will survive.......er lol. I mean i will subscribe....regards Bri

Hahaha! You've got a great sense of humor mate. I'll definitely keep that in mind for the next video. Thanks again for the sub and happy flying! ;)
