    To whom this may concern, no, I'm not getting rid of, selling, or giving away my Phantom 3 Standard. I WILL CONTINUE TO USE IT IN VIDEOS! Don't worry y'all.

      Carson Miller I am having problems connecting my Phantom 3 advanced drone to my controller and it keeps flashing yellow lights in the rear and says on my controller “Rc signal lost” what do I do to get my “bird” back in the air, please reply😁😁

      Why in the world would you do that when you have a far superior mavic

    • @carsonmtech
      @carsonmtech  7 років тому +2

      +hellfire08 I will definitely be using my Mavic more than the Phantom 3 Standard but the P3S will occasionally show up in videos because that is why about 75% of my core audience is subbed to this channel is for the P3S and not the Mavic Pro Platinum

      you always need one drone to film the other drone shooting drones.

    The airline allowed you to bring the drone on the plane? Any specific way you need to bring it on the plane?

    • @carsonmtech

      Mexico is definitely an amazing place to fly as long as you follow the regulations! When traveling through Mexico customs, you'll pass a section where you are required to press a button that randomly displays either a green "pass" or a red "review." If you get a green light, you won't be required to have your bags searched when in Mexico which is good for anyone with a drone. Personally, my family got a green light (yay!) so our bags were not searched. However, if we got a red light, our bags would have been searched.
      If your bags are searched, customs allows visitors to bring 2 cameras as part of your gear and drones don't currently fit that description in 2019. Agents apparently sometimes will look up your drone on the internet to determine the purchase value of it and will charge you a 6%-10% VAT tax to allow it into the country. On my Mavic Pro Platinum, that could have cost me anywhere from $65-$115 USD. It would be wise to keep a copy of your purchase receipt for your drone in your bag when traveling to Mexico so then they don't have to go looking up the purchase price of the drone and charge you more than necessary. Also, if you're prepared to answer questions about it and are nice with the officers, they likely may give you leeway and won't charge you the tax. I wouldn't be too scared of bringing your drone into Mexico because it isn't like they are banned devices, they just tax them occasionally if someone carrying a drone gets that red light.
      As soon as you make your way out of the airport though and are ready to fly your drone, there are a couple general laws and regulations that you need to follow.
      - Don't fly within 8km (5 mi) of an airport or helipad.
      - All drone flights must be operated in daylight only.
      - No flying above 122m (400ft) AGL.
      - A permit is required to operate a drone weighing between above 2kg (4.4lbs) and up to 25kg (55lbs). (as long as you aren't planning on flying a DJI inspire, you should be fine without this one as Phantoms, Mavics, and many other consumer drones are well below 2kg in weight.)
      - Maintain visual line of sight (VLOS) with your drone at all times and avoid flying over large crowds.
      - Assume that there are NFZ's (No Fly Zone's) at EVERY historic site, ancient ruin, cenote or similar attraction. Mexico's drone regulations are very inconsistent in these cases so my suggestion is just to assume that at every one of the aforementioned attractions that there are NFZ's because if you are found flying drones in NFZ's in Mexico, you could at worst be arrested and charged.
      - Around some resorts, there are rules that are put into place by the individual resort that says you can't fly a drone on their property so I would make sure that once you make it to Mexico, you check with your hotel/resort first to make sure it's okay.
      On the beaches, be reasonable and take into consideration the wind near the ocean is significantly higher than if you were 2 miles or more inland.
      I know this all may seem a little overwhelming at first and it definitely is but it really isn't too bad once you're in Mexico. Enjoy your trip, fly safe, and be nice to people and they will likely be nice back to you.
      I hope this is able to help you! If you have any further questions, let me know! Also, as a note, I wrote this entire helpful paragraph back in 2018 so a couple things could have changed since I went but as far as I know, they are pretty similar. Have a good one!

    • @carsonmtech
      @carsonmtech  5 років тому

      To add onto that, as far as flying with it, I would highly suggest flying with batteries charged no more than 50% (at least for the drone batteries themselves since they are large capacity). That’s just to ensure the cells won’t expand or anything like that. It’s best to have it with you on your carry on if possible so that it won’t be broken in transport if it goes below the plan unless you have a really good hardshell case.

  • @JoseMTamez
    @JoseMTamez 6 років тому +1

    Good job! I just got mine last week and because of the weather, I've had little chance to really let loose on this thing. Although I did get to fly it indoors in a basketball court size building, I found it easy to fly and only crashed it twice after spending more than two hours getting used to. Maybe not the best bird for my first drone but who cares, I want to learn on the real thing before getting my first Phantom 4 v2 in a few months. The crashes were very minor and the bird held up rather nicely. I did learn a few things watching your video and it was a pain using my Android phone but I've switched to my Samsung tablet and it makes a huge difference. However, I'm buying the goggles next weekend so that will illuminate the need for both and should greatly enhance my flying experience. Thanks!

    Love your videos Carson. I just got my Mavic Pro before Christmas. I opted for the regular Mavic not the platinum because of the cost. I got 4 extra batteries, a full backpack and ND filters for the price of the platinum....you were a huge help to me with the phantom3 Standard so I’m really excited about your future videos and learning along with ya buddy. (Btw, try to drop “actually” from your vocabulary).....lol....you rock man.

      Nope! On the way to México I had TSA Pre✔️ so I got right through security okay and then once in México, I got through customs alright although they did not have to check our bags so it might have been different if my family got the red light to check bags instead of the green light.

    Hey Carson great video! I am new to video editing and liked very much how you transition to different video shots at 10:21s of clip. What type of transition program or name of transition did you use? That was awesome.

    • @carsonmtech
      @carsonmtech  6 років тому

      Thank you so much! I cannot remember what exact transition that is but it’s a free downloadable Final Cut Pro X (that’s the program I use) transition from Ryan Nangle. If you’re new to editing with FCP and need help or just want to see some more advanced things you can do with the program, I highly suggest searching on UA-cam for “Ryan Nangle” and you’ll find his very helpful channel. He makes a lot of transitions and effects for FCP X that he frequently offers for free download and for anyone to use. However, he also offers some paid effects which I have not personally invested in, but do seem very reasonable for their prices. I really hope this helps!

    @matthewwilliams6904 7 років тому

    I actually prefer the Phantom series. I feel the larger build makes it feel more solid. Cause the Mavic can fold I feel the arms and props could move during flight and become unlocked. I also think the larger Phantom controller is better cause it’s larger.

    • @-Burb
      @-Burb 7 років тому

      Matthew Williams Yes, but even still it’s WAY more difficult to move around. I bring my spark almost everywhere I go, just in case I want to get a shot I wasn’t planning for. That is significantly more difficult with the phantom, just because it is larger.
      I would personally get a spark as a normal quad, and then if you want to do commercial work, get a phantom 4 (or maybe a mavic for both I guess)
      It’s just that once you get a taste of portability, you can never really go back.

    Thank you, great videos!

    • @carsonmtech
      @carsonmtech  7 років тому

      Because the DJI Mavic Pro Platinum is the newest version of the Mavic series with quieter motors, props, and a better battery life. DJI is promoting their Alpine White Mavic terribly because it’s actually the oldest version of the Mavic series without the quieter motors, props, and longer flight time :/. Don’t get me wrong, the original Mavic Pro is still an amazing drone but if I was going to be paying big money for a drone anyways I just saved a couple more hundred dollars to purchase the newest one :). I’m super happy with it and all that it has been capable of doing so far! Also one other reason is because the color. I really love the white color when it’s on the ground but when the Alpine is in the air, keeping VLOS would be like trying to keep track of a bumble bee from 100 feet away lol

    All jokes aside, your videos are very good, great quality, unique, please work on this "actual/actually" thing. It would make it so much more professional.
