Before shooting this video my microphone fell on the ground and for some reason the audio sounds horrible. Sorry about that, will have it fixed by next week.

Nice tips! The Firmware and Compass shortcuts are awesome, I gotta remember to use them.

NIce Billy, I'd like to add that even though you get a little white dot (place marker) on the mobile screen while using the "touch pan" feature, it's nearly impossible to recenter the gimbal perfectly by sliding your finger back to that dot. So Part 2 of this TIP would be use one of your other programmable buttons to make your gimbal do a full up and down tilt, then pressing that button twice will recenter your gimbal back to perfectly forward facing.

Great video, but I've got an even BIGGER tip for you! I posted here before I got my Mavic 2 Pro, and everyone was telling me about getting fly time in before my conference in San Diego. Unfortunately, that did not happen, so I did a quick test in my hotel room, and when turning it on for the first time, I managed to swap the control sticks!! This is HUUUUGE! Why has nobody talked about this feature? I play TONS of first person shooters and I'm used to having the left stick control movement. Forward, backward, strafe left, strafe right. The right stick is used for looking around. In this case the right stick up and down is for the height of the drone and left, right is to turn the drone left and right. This is a GAME CHANGER!! I was flying the drone around with no problems. I took it out around 2am so I wouldn't disturb anybody and had a blast! Man, this thing is soooo cool, and I'm glad I found out that I can change the controls to something I'm used to, like playing Call of Duty. Thanks again for all the videos, they helped me out a bunch!! I should have a video up soon on my channel with my first drone flight footage. I can't wait to edit!!

Another tip is you can turn off the return home beeping sound by pressing the on/off button on the remote once while the drone is coming back to your postion.

Thanks. Didn't know about the firmware shortcut. When I found the short press for focus I changed the C2 button to "Close Tips" (hadn't seen that one before either). Now I don't have to take a hand off the controller to tap the screen to clear all the annoying notifications like the high wind warnings.

Love your content, Billy! You always create some really helpful stuff!

Some users say that the precise landing was not incorporated in the 2. To land precisely it is important to take off and go up at least thirty feet and pause for a few seconds. It will take a great photo of the launch pad and land precisely where it took off from,

Awesome tips! The compass calibration tip was the best one in my opinion. I'm forever having to remember where to go in the menu to calibrate it. Now I know I can easily to it with a flip of a switch..... Literally

I am looking for a tip on the best way to change the shutter speed without opening the camera menu. On the old Mavic Pro I could do it quickly by using the rolling "button" on the controller. The new setup is for the aperture and I can't seem to find a way to customize that "button". Great video, and thanks for leading the charge in educating us on this new drone. it is a lot more different than I expected.

Great tips. Especially quick accessing the firmware. Thanks Billy

Here is a couple of suggestions I would like DJI to incorporate. 1. In the "P" mode have ALL collision sensors turn on or make it in the menu what collision sensors you can activate. This would keep you from flying sideways in a tree. 2. I would like to swap the settings in "LEFT" gimbal dial so I would rotate it to the "right" to point the camera down and rotate it "LEFT" to bring the camera back up.

Good tips Billy, I went with the M2PRO and the touch screen to move the gimbal was a great idea from DJI but i assume it only works in video? I do a fair amount of still photography and I haven't tried yet but normally when you touch the screen in photo mode it acts as the focus. It would be great if you could still move the gimbal this way while taking pictures without having to turn the drone. Have you tried it yet?

Thanks for those shortcuts Billy, I appreciate the information as they’ll save me a lot of time that I can use to just FLY!!

Awesome tips to know thankyou. I've saved this video.

Excellent video!!

Nice, Billy! Of these 5, I was aware only of the gimbal one. I particularly like the focus tip! Nice!

The two button method of binding remote to the drone is in one of DJI's tutorials for the M2. The half-press for auto-focus I believe is in the manual. If not there, in one of the tutorials. The left-swipe doesn't seem to work on an Android. At least not on a phone. Quick access to compass calibration is cool. They could step that up and go for the menu just before it where you can select IMU calibration as well.

Good tips. First video from your page that i've watched, and LOVED seeing that CC Philly footage! Recently relocated to Jacksonville FL from the 215, so that was fun. Also just started using the mavic2zoom for work and went looking for tip vids. Thnx.

Wow, these are some helpful tips. I cannot believe I did not know most of these. Thank you so much!

Thanks Billy for the very good tips they will be really handy, Thanks Again

Awesome Billy. Damn I cant wait much longer before I hit buy. Dealing with buying my new truck 1st. Ug

Very Informative. Thanks for sharing these hidden features. Much appreciated

Great video.

nice work Billy!

Billy you the man bro, thanks for sharing these tips wow good information many thanks

Firmware upgrade/downgrade is very good to know! That's the only reason why I don't upgrade, because I don't want to connect to my computer if the upgrade has a bug... Thanks!

Great tutorial Billy expecting my M2P this week you got my sub just on this video alone keep up the great work man...👍🏽

Excellent Billy keep up the good work stuff I didn't know but I do now 😎👍

Billy have you figured out a way to take a photo as you're taking a video with the mavic 2?

Good stuff. Let's see what more will be on the table. Subscribed.

Thanks for another great video

Hey Billy! Great tips. Super helpful

Great tips Billy!

you're the best! thanks for all your efforts!

Thank you so much

What’s best for videos: infinity focus or af and press the shutter throughout recording the video

Hmm didn´t know about the YAW-moving thingy on the camera. That could really come in handy! Thanks for the tips

Awesome!!! I plan on using that linking shortcut Real soon : ) Great tips Billy Thanks for sharing

Great tips, bud - keep it up!

Nice tips and hacks Billy- Sending some sub love from Toronto Canada 🇨🇦

I knew all but hidden menu ,, and upgrading. Thanks bro.

Great tips. Tks.

Excellent tips!

Great tips Billy thx

Great tips! Thumbs up 👍🏼

Love the calibrate tip. Such a hassle to navigate to the calibrate compass feature on the p4p. Don’t know why the Mavic Pro did’t have the photo button half press as a feature to focus. Silly

Great Tips .. thanks

I only knew about the pan/yaw. Thanks.

Thanks Billy....Good to know. Just got my Mavic 2 Zoom, Early Christmas Gift to myself 😀

Nice video. Great tips

Hilo! Thanks for the tips

Great vid billy, Thanks :)

BILLY KYLE.... ur the best bro!! #bkdroneboyz #nyc5bdm

Awesome! Thanks!!

Great info thanks

This is very invormative Video, thank you! Do you know how to disable charging of the phone via controler? On mavic 2 pro

I did not think these would be unknown but I actually didn't know all of them

Nice Man! Very good tips :-)

Thanks great tips!!!

Nice tips, thank you :)

I want my drone back so muchhhhh. It's been at repair for 4 days, but now all of these Mavic 2 videos have come out and are making me just want to shoot some video.

Dear Billy, those five tips are wonderful! Recently, I met a problem with flying in hyperlapse course lock mode, and the result became depressed and annoying. The day when I was flying Mavic 2 Pro, the weather condition was, nice not too windy, but after the video came out, I found out foreground was bumping up and down, back ground was so so, but not as good as normal flying. I use FCPX for editing and tried my best to fix the problem, but failed. Have you ever met this problem before? If you did, could you tell me what caused that bumping up and down and how did you fixed it. Thank you for your sugestions. Or maybe I set the wrong shutter speed?

nice tips

I’m looking to adjust the horizon start point when capturing still panoramic on the Mavic Pro 2. I’ve tried manually pitching the gimbal to the desired angle (20% downwards) but every time I shoot in pano mode it returns to the central horizon point. Am wondering if there’s a hidden feature to correct this.?

Question, is there a difference between the white and black DJI goggles when flying the Mavic 2 drones?

On the Zoom version, can the speed of the zoom be modified in the menus somewhere? And, can it be made to "easy-ease" into or out of a zoom, rather than just hard-stopping at one end or the other?

Hey Billy ... did I see on another website someone connected a iPad mini to the controller on a Mavic 2 Pro the same as you would a phone ?? If so can you do a video connecting that. Thanks

Thanks for the video. Would you recommend the Mavic 2 pro for someone who has no experience with flying drones? Should I start with the mini? I’m not too concerned about the price.

thx for the video...i am still not sure what's that biding mood is for thought

Billy I’ve seen a couple of videos describing how to pan the camera and it seems fairly simple, but no matter what I try I personally haven’t been able to accomplish it. I can’t figure out what I could be doing wrong. Thought it might be my device, but I’ve used both iPad and iPhone and does work with neither. I’m I the only one that’s having this problem?

I have both the Pro & Zoom updated to the most recent firmware. I tried the "finger drag" to pan the camera on my iPad Pro (11.4.1) and it did not work. It does work on my Samsung S7 so I'm not sure if this is an Android only vs iOS feature. It is a nice feature as Billy describes as being able to keep your front/rear sensors engaged in obstacle avoidance while panning. I however never use my phone so I hope this feature will be available for my iPad soon.

thanks!

Are the scratches on the Gimbal from taking off and putting the cover back on ?

I don't want a half press focus on my shutter button. Is there a way to disable that?

Chicago area weather sucks lately. At least Mavic 2 Pro is a bit better than Mavic Air in high winds making 360 panos. I'm uploading lots on Google Street View. Theres a drone meetup group meeting at Thatcher Woods River Forest, IL Sunday 8/9 at noon.

How do you adjust the speed of camera movements? Out of the box it moves way to fast.

Hey Bro. What is it you prefer on the 2 Zoom Vs the 2 Pro? I’ve heard in one of your videos you use the zoom more frequently? Is it just the zoom feature? Only ask because I found the 1” sensor to be a HUGE benefit to Me

So, you didn’t explain how you can downgrade the firmware...?

on your phone there its showing the little radar in the bottom cornet its not showing on my s9 how do you get it there please

Billy, can the Mavic 2 use two controllers - slave/master, similiar to the Mavic Pro? I have not heard anyone address this.

Great video! After panning how can you get the camera centered again?

I have a DJI Mavic 2 Zoom. I tried this with my iPad Mini 4 and it did not work. I was in the static mode and not up in the air. This shouldn't make any difference.

My tip is to not crash the Mavic 2! Lol

Where did you get the custom QR sticker that is on your Mavic 2 Zoom?

Hey Billy, Do you know if the Mavic 2 can shoot stills while recording video at the same time?

So the panning is a hard press on your mobile, I wondered why I didn't get it to work, I have to press harder. Good tips!

Very usefull

My when I press the button to turn it on gimbal it doesn't move and the light on the legs either but the motors move..I tried the DJI assistant but it doesn't read it any suggestions please

I have two questions: I've ordered Mavic Pro 2. Is there an SD card in the box like it was in Mavic Pro? And, my Mavic Pro tells me to calibrate its downward vision sensors from the app. Where can I find that option in the app? I've checked everywhere but it isn't there. Thanks in advance.

Hi Billy, is the Pan only on the Mavic 2 Zoom?

Why do you do the controller linking for what

What’s the best settings for s Sunday day

Great info. I have a question related to mavic 2. I heard that the mavic 2 enterprise can be piloted by the pilot app or the go4 app, thereby effectively transforming your enterprise into a mavic zoom while using the go4 app, and giving it the ability to use the autonomous flight features not available to the enterprise using the pilot app. Is this true?

ok ...I see the comment now ...LOL ...still a nice ...informative work!

where is super res?

78K Follower, made KZfaq Money - Bought a proper microphone - NOPE....LOL

i cant swipe the hidden menu! Im on Android ,Can someone veryfy that its working with Android also?

THE M2PRO Has a hidden ZOOM.

That's is the mavic 2 zoom buddy not 2
