Dji Phantom Vision How to Never Crash Land It Ever Again

0:00 Iphone, ever, cardboard

Alright guys, this video is going out to Andy Crampton, a friend of mine, and it's just a random kind of video helping you if you've got a Phantom DJI. Now first of all, OK, if you're using an iPhone or an iPad and you're getting in trouble with the sun getting in the way and not being able to see the correct image, then here's a really cheap way of making a bit of a shield. Alright, you can buy them and they look fancy, but why not just get a bit of cardboard? OK, there it is. I'm not going to give you the sizes because it should be self-explanatory if you have that next to your iPhone, but let's put it together, fit it on the control and bung the iPhone in there as well. Alright, there it is. Perfect.

Alright, now what have I used? I've used a knife, a bit of cardboard, a bit of sellotape and a bit of common sense. So the only thing you've got to watch is... I don't know if you can see here, but the clamp here attaches, of course, around your iPhone. So you need to make sure that the hole at the top is the same distance from the bottom as the size of the iPhone. Otherwise, if you have the hole too high, the clamp's going to come through and it's going to clamp on the cardboard and not your phone. And when you turn around or cough, your phone's going to fall flat on the floor, which you don't want to happen. But that for me is very self-explanatory. And it's exceedingly cheap and you can get something like that from any store, just take your shopping out first.

1:55 It's going to happen because I'm sort of here now talking to you

Alright, so what I'm going to show you now is a way how you will never ever crash your Phantom ever, ever again. But just be wary and be careful. It takes a little bit of practice, but once you've done it once or twice, believe me, the first time I did it, I was like, oh my God, what's going to happen? Am I going to get my head chopped off? It's going to happen because I'm sort of here now talking to you. But after the first and second time, I got a lot more confident and now it's a great way of landing perfectly. You don't have to... Sorry, you're looking at that, aren't you? You'll see me in a bit, do beg your pardon. You don't have to worry about members of the public. Just make sure they're out the way, just boot them out the way.

By the way, normally I do DJ tutorials, so anyone who's normally watching my DJ tutorials, sorry about this. But this is about a Phantom Vision Plus 2. Which is a stunning piece of kit. All right, hold on. I mean, all right, I admit it looks a bit tacky, but for the sake of saving a few pounds, dollars, euros, yen or depending on if you're from Mars, it's worth it because it works. And if you remember to look at the shape of this at the beginning of the video, if you're 100 miles away from your home and you've forgotten your sunshade, you can make one. You can pretty much make it out of paper. In fact, you could make it out of paper. Any sort of shade is better than nothing. The only other item you will not definitely but it's advisable for you to get is a lanyard because at some point you will need one hand in the air and the other hand twiddling on one of the knobbly bits on the controller.

So I'm just waiting for the phone to charge and I'll be with you in a second, which will be a split second for you. But absolutely hours for me.

3:29 I've done the calibration, which is really important

Oh, sorry. Okay, I'm outside. I've done the calibration, which is really important. You've got to make sure that you calibrate the drone so it knows exactly the home point where it's going to take off from. If you don't do that and say you've flown it two or three miles away, it might actually go over there. So make sure it knows exactly where you're flying it from. Pretty much done that now. So both down. Let's chuck it up in. The air. I'll edit this so you don't really want to see it up. You want to see it coming down. Okay, one important thing though. I'm going to put that over my head off we go what I'm going to do first. I'm going to make sure that it's in front of me and I'm gonna have the drone come towards me.

So I'm just going to let it go forward a bit. I don't wanna get my head chopped off. So I'm high coming in.

I'm gonna slowly bring. It towards me. Now you can see it reach up,

Grab it like that. You can hear it tugging away at my hand. What I need to do now with the left control and bring the left control towards me that slows it down. And now with the other hand, bring them both together. I started off again. Just do that again there. That's pretty much it. Okay, hopefully that was self explanatory and making. This video while I'm flying the thing as well. So normally you would have 100% 100% concentration on your phantom. All right, have lots of pleasure and practice and enjoy. Thank you.
