59 years old, drone noob. Just bought my P4 today and watched your tutorial Justin, I'll be taking my first flight during the week - Greetings from the UK, and thanks for the simple instructions!
This is one of the best tutorials for any difficult and complex subject that I have ever reviewed on RUclips. It is very well thought out and clear, and has given me the courage to purchase this drone. Bravo!
i just bought my dji phantom and going to take it for its first flight today .... i watched this video and found it very clear and very good first tutorial thanks dude i am gonna subscribe and watch more thanks again 😎 Manchester UK .
Got to say, after watching how-to-for-newbie-vids all day, this one is by far the best, thank you man! With your help I think my son and I will be able to have a succesful first day when the copter arrives!
My g/f just bought me one, and this is one of the best step by step "how to" videos that I've seen for a noob like myself. Too cool to see you're local too! (I live in east Mult. county) Thank you for putting this material together... so very helpful.
Nice video, I am going to be buying one in the next few weeks and have been watching all the videos. Yours stands out by answering 1 basic question I have not seen. It was how to calibrate. I knew all the other phantoms had to but all the P4's have never shown it. Thanks!
Very well explained even for me and I am 76 years old and found it easy to understand.I am really looking foreward to getting some good shots .Channel Islands U.K England
Dude drone guy awesome video one of the best I've seen yet for beginners. I fly TREX 550 Helicopters and I'm going to get the phantom 4 next. To all the new pilots starting out follow this channel its awesome.
excellent-- best video Instructor found. down to earth and usable information...not filled with unnecessary "whatevers". New to Drone flying....this guy is the way to go. THANK YOU Drone Camps RC
Great video, good advice. I just got my phantom 4 pro today, i wont fly it until the weekend so im making sure i read up and watch you guys. Never flown before so thank you. Ceri Wales uk
Thanks Justin I've just bought the P4 Advance Plus and waiting for it to arrive in the post. I've been watching tour tutorial on First Day Flying and have learnt so much, will watch this a few more times yet so I will be more competent when mine arrives. Thanks from Peter in Australia..!!!
Justin as you can see, I am reviewing your older videos. As you also know my first expensive DJI drone was unfortunately stolen during one of my visits home from returning from my deployment from overseas. I just purchased another DJI phantom 4 which should be in my hands tomorrow that was shipped out this past Saturday and oddly, I called the FAA and my 107 license was just mailed out this past Friday as well so therefore I should be getting them both near the same time. I am learning as much as I can from you being a retired disabled vet. Thankfully flying drones commercially is one job with my injuries that I will be able to do thankfully. I also have an expensive very light weight thermo camera that I will be installing on it for search and rescue operations this hurricane season as this past hurricane season was terrible here so therefore a lot is going on. I am going with your recommendation on getting a DJI mini as you recommended and actually once I start getting into more commercial jobs, I would like to go on and purchase the phantom 4 pro also.
Dang, after 4 years of owning this copter I just now discovered how to properly calibrate the thing! I was turning the machine 360 with my hands while standing still. lol proves we fall on most simple things.. Great tutorial, though I expected to see the follow me functions in use.
Superb video fella , just got a new P4 and it's my first drone.Look forward to more video's like this for beginners they are very very helpful.Keep up the good work much appreciated.
great video man very much appreciated small things that you alluded too make all the difference like switching it on for example press and hold for 2 secs thanks again
Thank you for making it so simple. Work at a petroleum refinery in Durban, South Africa...have a device on hand with me right now. You have helped me by removing all fear without having to troll through the manuals just yet. Need to use this tech for risk assessment monitoring including infrared fugitive leak identification. Count me in as a sub. Regards Raj
Justin, you are an awesome professor. Mix a little reality and humor in with tons of practical tips, like calibration of the UAV "before" installing propellers. Fabulous!
Thanks JD, I have a new P4, and am working up the courage to fly for the 1st time. Your video has helped me, I had problems calibrating, as I was trying indoors, and calibrating with the props on.
Thanks Justin I doing my research now, as this old guy is planning on buying a drone in next few months. A lot of great information for someone who hasn't flown any UAS. Was great to SEE not just hear the things to do in the beginning. 👍🏻
Greetings from Australia :) Thanks so much for this tutorial, Justin. I'll admit I was hesitant getting it out of the box, but you instilled confidence! I've unboxed, charged and now ready to go out and do each of your first flight steps. I'll let you know how I go.
Justin. I just got one at pawn mint shape for 650. Bought two more batteries from best buy weekend sale at 140 each. It is awesome. Picked up a think tank carry case. I really like it. Thank you
Drone Camps RC is there a way to see how much flight time the first owner put on it. Also it has in my flight records a name he gave it. It would be nice to rename it. He nsmrs it Oranges. Which is ok but would be nice to give it my own name.
Drone Camps RC oh one mention is the p4p battery has more power in the battery. I called dji and they said they were comparable. What batteries do you like. Also any add on items of mention. Thanks. I got an air also and a bebop2 and a fee others. My birthday turned sixty
Well done! Motivates me to learn the basics that you show as I get used to the DJI. I especially like your emphasis on flight safety and protecting the copter.
Thank you so much! You're video helped me a lot! The first day I got my drone I read everything that was in the box and just honestly wanted to take off just to see it fly. And then I was panicking because it thought it was going to fly away and didn't know how to bring it down. I finally managed and haven't used it since then. I came here to get some knowledge on drones I even watched a few before I even bought it but you're video helped a lot, you have nice tips. Thank you!
Great video, thanks for putting this up. There are lots of videos our there by people with good intention but containing little real information, and some others that are really well done and address more advanced topics which will be very helpful later when I have mastered the basic skills. As an 'Old fella' with zero experience of flying, getting the drone out of the box and reading the limited instructions, I did not feel confident to try and fly, I did not understand the basic functions sufficiently. Your basic instruction was brilliant, just what I and I am sure many others have and will find gives them the confidence to fly without crashing on the first outing. I will be looking out for your other videos. You should send this to dji to use (with a royalty to you), to help other potential customers to have the confidence to purchase their drone products. Thank you, great work.
I totally hope you make a similar video for the DJI Mavic Pro, I'm planning on getting one and it'll be my first drone so this video alone taught me a ton! Thank you!
I just got my Phantom 4 Pro Plus Obsedian. Was watching your 1st day video. About putting up the props... Each prop has a locking and unlocking marking on both side of the prop. The Prop with black ring needs to turn clockwise to lock and counterclockwise to unlock. The props with silver ring are the opposite way.
Thanks bud! Great video. Mine is sitting here in front of me while I pour through all these video's. Extra batteries and accessories will be here wednesday so hopefully I won't crash lol.
59 years old, drone noob. Just bought my P4 today and watched your tutorial Justin, I'll be taking my first flight during the week - Greetings from the UK, and thanks for the simple instructions!
I`m a novice had this thing sitting under my bed for 1 year could only turn the thing on watched this a lot easier than i thought cheers dude

Hey Justin, I got one today for work and I enjoyed your video. I will try my first flight on the weekend.
Thank you !
very good video. learned a lot of the basics that I was looking for..now i want to learn follow me mode and automatic return.
Excellent video, really informative. I thought the woman walking in to the background 18:49 was going to strip off and fat pie bomb the video!
MrSoflash she did, he just cut that part out for himself for personal use only.
Thanks for that first day flying. I am doing that exercise.
This was one of the best tutorial videos for me. Direct, short, and informative. Thanks.
Great tutorial, Justin. Concise and to the point. Just what I've been looking for.
Justin, you are an awesome professor. Mix a little reality and humor in with tons of practical tips, like calibration of the UAV "before" installing propellers. Fabulous!

First flight went great. and I made the same rookie mistake you did haha - left the upgrade cable home...it needed an upgrade before flight.
Nice tutorial. Just got my P4 and I'm looking forward to flying it this weekend.
Thanks mate
Brilliant!
Awesome tutorial Justin... Thanks Dude. Just got a P4, so excited for my first flight...
I am not a novice, Great introduction.

Thanks for video just waiting for pro , and this is exactly the video I needed to relax me about flying it ..many thanks
The best tutorial ever! Thank you very much, Davis!!!!
Great video Justin!! The part I still have trouble with is the nose in. Definitely will keep practicing on that before I buy the Phantom
+Alan Savage the more nose in practice the better. I started with single rotor helis and that was the hardest part. - JD
Great basic, smart, day 1. Good safe advice. Thanks.
Well done! Motivates me to learn the basics that you show as I get used to the DJI. I especially like your emphasis on
flight safety and protecting the copter.
Thank you so much! You're video helped me a lot! The first day I got my drone I read everything that was in the box and just honestly wanted to take off just to see it fly.
