in today's video I'll be showing you the five intelligent flight modes of the DJI
phantom 3 standard so stay tuned hi my name is Dennis on this channel you'll
find drone and product reviews so if you're new here consider subscribing or
by the way at any point during this video check out my notes down at the
YouTube description below a less than the five intelligent flight modes and
anything else that I forget so the Phantom 3 standard has five
intelligent flight modes there's the follow me mode there's a waypoint
there's a course lock there's a home lock and points of interest you can also
find this five intelligent flight modes of the new your drones such as the
Phantom 4 the Mavic pros you want to find a little bit more do check out the
DJI website before purchasing a drone to enable the intelligent flight notes you
logged into DJI app go to the top right hand corner click on that one and scroll
down a bit and look for advanced settings click on that one and there
should be a section there for intelligent flight mode you just need
turned on once that's been on on your DJI controller well for this one for the
Phantom 3 standard you just need to hit all the way down actually enable the
intelligent flight mode on the flight first office the follow me mode
basically it's following you or following the drones following something
it could be you it could be a particular location in the map that you put in you
definitely need a very strong GPS signal to be able to pull this off and also
there's a minimum altitude requirement which I believe is about 10 meters as
you can see in this video how it's done try just they have to follow me mode
it's it's a nice to have I don't really use the follow me mode as much it's not
as intuitive as I want it to be next one is course lock what is course lock
basically to make it simple for you it's locking the course of the direction of
where your drone is going let me put it this way visually so don't got my Sigma
drone here if you haven't seen my unboxing of this drone to check it out
anyway normally when you fly a drone if you move forward this will move
forward if you move backward move back if you rotate to the left or to the
right if you move forward and move forward
like this backward like this with corsola what it does is say this is the
front of your drum now it looks to course one direction right so if you're
moving forward like this regardless whether you tilt to the left or to the
right it will still maintain its direction by moving forward so you can
tilt basically what it does you can tilt it like this going in one direction and
you can make it 360 turn and it's still gonna go up hopefully that gives you an
idea here's a couple of sample videos I've done I use this from time to time
especially if I know I have a good line of sight of where I'm heading therefore
I can rotate sort of drone and to be able to give you you know to be able to
visualize where I'm heading and stuff so it's pretty nice features to have again
you really need to be careful because you need to make sure that your line of
sight is clear and you don't want to end up say let's say this you're moving
forward and you know you're twisting it you can't really see you can only see
here from your camera angle but you can't really see what it is some you
know like three or something in there and then yeah I think that's so that's
why you need to be careful and make sure that you have clear line of sight home
laughs it's kind of like course lock but it looks you within the radius of your
home probably use it once here's sample video I'm not gonna go too
much detail but basically kind of locks you in the radius within your home base
where you launched your drone for example this year this is where you are
in the home base and this is where your drone you know it will sort of hope
regardless for their sort of different orientation regardless of your
orientation if you tilt say feel lunch for me even if you tilt the right it
would just go right there regardless of your orientation so it's kind of locked
to your home hopefully it gives you an idea I don't really use foam block I'll
put in a little bit of description down below and some links that might give you
an idea what it is next up it's points of interest use
points of interest quite regularly especially if I'm seeing a particular
sort of landmark that I want a circle around can be really useful it's to
enable you to don't worry about drone movements you see the ability to focus
on the camera set you know what do you want to take a shot
or you know shooting a video in particular you know angle without
worrying about flying this needs to be a minimum radius distance and also the
altitude Hart can see here and what it does you need to be able to circle it
around to a particular sort of landmark you know automatically fly within that
particular space it's a good thing about the points of interest you can control
the speed and the duration so you can make it as fast as you want or as slow
as you want you can even have you know multiple loops so that you can cover all
angles again it's really really useful I do use it from time to time so hopefully
that gives you an idea what points of interest is the last one it's probably
my most favorite one is the waypoints from the most useful one so far to me
along with the points of interest you know it's really good if you planned
your shots or planned where you're flying it can pinpoint particular areas
and then the drone will go there on each specific waypoints you control the Spade
whether you want it slower or faster pretty handy tool especially if you're
covering large sort of landscape areas you want to take a video or photo it
throw it out worrying about flying drone it will automate it for you and you can
concentrate and taking those nice shots taking those you know positive videos or
quality angle shots that you're looking for so waypoints is probably for me is
the one that I've used a lot of times multiple times hopefully this gives you
an idea what the Waypoint feature is question of the day which intelligent
flight modes do you like to the waypoints point of entry is a home lock
course law could be one of the newer intelligent flight modes that's been
released for the maverick pros coming down below would love to hear from you
that's really it for me thank you for tuning in if you enjoyed this video give
it a like and subscribe to my channel for more videos I get this Dennis and
I'll see you all next time down everything about the mode is for the U
and unless down
