What does the S2 Switch do on a DJI Phantom 3 Controller?? 

Many of you asked for this video...many will receive your answer xD

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!!!!

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

This Carson guy answers everything

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

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!!

Carson..your videos are by far the best on how to operate a Phantom... Thanks and keep up the great work !!!!

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

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

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

The videos that keep giving. I used your S1 vid a year or so ago, and just used this one for s2. Thanks so much!

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

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

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

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

you are awesome! this is timely, im waiting for this specific review from you, Carson!! :)

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

Thank you dude, just got a Phantom 3 and I am still learning. Well produced video too.

Thanks Carson really informative and comprehensive videos. Stay Cool Brother !

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. :)

I know it about 8 months old but it help me out...thanks.. I just got a Phantom 3 standard your videos is really help me out a lot... Thanks again

Cool vids Carson Im enjoying them mate

Thanks for helpfull videos, greetings from Finland! :)

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

thanks for your videos, you are my "go to" to learn

thank you! I recently bought a used p3 standard and i've beed wondering about the switches...many thanks

Thank you for your video's just solved my problem with regards to password after an hour trying, regards from the UK

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.

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. 👍

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

I finally know what the heck the S2 switch does

Very good instructions and not complicated. Thank you.

Very Helpfully ,Subscribed. Thanks

Hi there carson i love your videos and pls make more on the phantom 3 because of you i am now getting one keep up the good work bro!!! :) pls make more videos on the phantom 3

Good Info... Very helpful, Thanks

These videos are very helpful.

Thank you for all of your answers 😜

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

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

Thankyou for the video! Already much better :)

This kid has great information. Way better the DJI tutorial

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.

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

another very good video.....thank you.

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

great video once again carson thank you

awsome tips big help thanks

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

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.

nice again and good tec and education , regards kentagon sweden

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

Good Info - Thanx!

Thanks a ton dude.

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

GREAT VIDEO! THX

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.

Hey, new subscriber & and greetings from Mexico!

Thank you for sharing

Very helpful, thank you.

OK thank you it helped a lot

As usual very much helutiful. Thanks

Question does this work for DJ phantom 2 vision plus drones as well

just got my phantom 3 a few days ago and i find these very informative! thanks!

thank you realy helpful carson Blessings smiles ☺

Do you have to set the s2 switch each time you fly or will it remain in RTH forever?

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.

I like oll of your videos,

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?

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

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.

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!

great job buddy

Thank you so much buddy 😀

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

Thank you for your information :-)

Thanks bro

Thank you

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!

A big thumbs up to you

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.

Thanks this really helped

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

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

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

I have installed the range extenders on my phantom 3 and I keep losing signal around 500 meter. am using the dji app, I was flying in my housing area. so any fix I should do.

Get this guy to 14K Subs!!👍

Q:what if the drone is in hoover mode and I lost control, can I use the switch s2 to let it return to controller? I hope you can answer this for me. Thanks anyway

@CarsonMiller how did you figure this out?

Hi my husband has a phantom 3 standard. When it gets to a certain distance only about 500ft it says go home and starts returning. Why does it do this?

Thanks

THANK YOU

Man I still have my Mod Phantom 2 with go pro. now a phantom 3 pro, and a Phantom 4. waiting to get a Autel 6k

Hey Carson, love you vids... very informative. Okay, so I am hoping you can answer this because I can't find answer nowhere online... can I link more than one DJI P3S quad to only one rc transmitter to fly at different times? I bought a used P3S and I need to test and fly it without the gimbal. Thanks!

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?

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

Can two devices connect to WiFi at same time Like my phone and tablet or even phone tablet and computer at same time. And if I'm controlling it by phone will it also let me control by computer at same time or is there a security feature to block that. In normal usage that would never be a problem but say you were in a popular area and someone else tried to connect to your drone and it was left on default password Or someone used something like Kali Linux and cracked the password... But question you might not have the answer but asking anyway

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)

This video is what you get if you tell people to not touch that button. Thanks Carson.

i have phantom 3 standard and my maps are black , and locked , when i calibrate also is black ? whats problem??? :(

just one quick question, what is the best setting for your video and photo? resolution and fps? thank you
