Master intermediate drone control through reverse orientation drills, including reverse box, box with turns, and vertical moves, practicing stick inputs and safe manual landing in a structured sequence.

Advance your drone flight with coordinated control stick techniques for basic and power turns, circles, figure-eight training, and croft recovery. Build momentum, improve orientation, and achieve instinctive, rhythmic turns.

Develop pro-level drone flight skills in unassisted Atti/Ettie mode, handling wind with square, circle, crabbing, and catch landing drills, plus sports mode considerations and safety.

Command the points of interest flight mode to circle a subject for cinematic footage. Adjust radius and altitude with gimbal and sticks to create smooth anti-clockwise or clockwise shots.

Learn to create waypoint missions for Phantom and Mavic drones, record coordinates and altitudes, and manage camera behavior with modes like consistent with record, route, or free.

Master course lock to create smooth dolly and tracking shots along a treeline, keeping a fixed heading while you move the aircraft up, down, left, or right.

Explore how to use home lock to return your phantom to the home position and circle around the hub clockwise or anti-clockwise for recovery.

Master the test fly feature for smooth cinematic shots. Learn obstacle avoidance, ground collision avoidance, horizon cues, and gimbal control, plus pause and panic emergency stops.

Master Tapfly general by selecting flight modes, setting speed, guiding with a horizon point, and using gimbal control with obstacle avoidance for safe, precise moves.

Explore how Tapfly obstacle avoidance behaves in test fly across scenarios, including horizontal avoidance, lifting above obstacles, and limits when too low, with practical tips to improve shot results.

Explore a teraflop-powered flight showreel with shots traveling between trees and dramatic passes, showcasing easy test flights under safe parameters and sharing results in the Facebook group.

Master Phantom 4 Pro Tapfly modes—forward, backward, and free—enhanced by augmented reality overlays that help you plan trajectories, capture cinematic look-down and dolly shots, and control gimbal and altitude.

Active track general enables the drone to automatically follow subjects using computer vision, with obstacle avoidance, pause button safety, and the ability to create cinematic orbiting and spiraling shots.

Master active track modes on Phantom 4 Pro and Mavic—trace, profile, and spotlight—as the drone follows moving subjects with obstacle avoidance, subject recognition, and slider-based control.

Explore pro forma profile mode in active track, locking a fixed angle behind the subject. Compare with trace and note obstacle avoidance limits when adjusting radius with sticks.

Learn how spotlight uses computer vision and course lock to track moving or stationary subjects, while you fly with the right stick to stay beside or around them.

Master tripod mode on Phantom 4 Pro and Mavic for ultra-smooth, slow aerial footage with side obstacle avoidance. Explore look-down flybys, rise shots, and large-format panoramas.

Learn to use draw mode on phantom 4 pro with the go4 app: draw a flight path on a grid, adjust speed and camera direction, and execute a smooth stop.

Learn terrain follow mode for phantom 4 pro and mavic, using vision positioning to maintain altitude above terrain. Set ground clearance 1–10 meters, up to 30 meters in some cases.

Master quick shot tutorials with dronie, helix, and rocket in the Go4 app, and edit using create movie, speed, tilt shift, music, and text options.

Explore quick shots for the Mavic Air: circle, boomerang, and asteroid, with target selection, shot timing, and how videos are saved to memory during filming.

Master orbiting in litchi to shoot cinematic drone footage by planning pre-set orbits around a point of interest, with automatic gimbal pitch and options like the corkscrew.

Learn to set up a cinematic orbit shot in the Go4 app, covering orbit mode, marker placement, altitude, radius, speed, entry point, camera facing, gimbal control, and saving the mission.
