When will you guys do the inspire 2

Just a quick heads up you are improperly calibrating your compass. First do not have the remote and tablet near your Mavic while calibrating. Second you rotate the aircraft like there is a post in the center not in that circular patter you are doing. Also aircraft is not calibrated on it's side second calibration is done nose down! Look at the manual. You need to give out correct information Guys!

Tip, remove the gimbal clamp before you start it up!

There are vents and a cooling fan behind the gimbal. Leaving the plastic dome on the Mavic will run hot which will ultimately shorten the lifespan of the Mavic.

I've had mine for around 3 weeks now, I've changed the C button on my right hand to centre focus, it makes things easier than using the phone screen. It's a wonderful little quad, and in sure I'll still be learning how to get the best out of it in 6 months from now.

Just received my Mavic Pro Platnuim, my friends keep asking me to fly it. I keep reminding them of the Harley Davidson rule. Want to drive it, "Go Buy your "F'n own" sounds bad but after one of them got on my 46' Flathead and got weak-kneed and dumped it on its side "STANDING STILL", I became a real, realist. Great Video !

Great video guys. I didn't know about the USB connection to a tablet. Great tip. However, I disagree about leaving the camera protector on. It does make the footage look worse and it blocks air flow. There is a vent behind the camera where air should go in. The cover blocks it and can cause the Mavic to heat up more than it should. Any thoughts on this? Thanks for the video!

Love the time-lapse tip - Thanks guys, very helpful, well done (and totally watchable) video!

Aerial timelapse with tripod mode - oh yes!

After watching many vids about the Mavic and being a new drone and Mavic owner, this was the best info ! thanks guys! Execellent!

two years later this was helpful, good stuff, been a mavic user since June 17 so thanks def didn't know about tripod mode for those hyper lapse, awesome

I'm using a modified dome from F-Stop Labs which I purchased on Amazon. Yes, there are those who have 3D printed these, but wherever you get them, they work great to offer some degree of protection to the gimbal in a crash situation, as well as act like a lens shade when the angle of incidence of the sun is forward. I've only seen it get into the frame when in sport mode and only when radically moving side-to-side, quickly braking, etc. Great way to have the advantages of the dome and a lens shade, too. Basically, it stays on all the time and I store it with the rubber boot over it to protect the lens. Only remove it to take off and put on the gimbal clamp... Great vid! Thanks!

Nice video guys. It was helpful as my Mavic Pro arrives Friday! Keep the videos coming!

The Mavic is awesome had min for over 3 months now. Loving it. Creating Documentary videos with it on my channel. Thanks for this video.

Just got my yesterday and I love it. You had some great tips. Thanks for the effort. Chad

Thanks guys, great video - I REALLY want a Mavic Pro now! Cheers, Chris 👍

Thanks guys! I just got my Mavic Pro a couple of days ago, and your video was very helpful.

Thanks for the quick and helpful video. Having had my Mavic for one month now, I'll add that I prefer to fly with a dedicated tablet or at the very least have airplane mode on otherwise receiving a call mid flight can be a scary experience.

Just realized you guys are in Canton! I used to live there and went to that Walmart and Tinseltown all the time

Great tips thanks. What about the transit clamp for the gimbal? Should I be locking the gimbal every time? Many thanks

Thanks for making this. It's helped me for the fact that I'm a novice to cinematic efforts using a drone. One thing I would have liked to see here, and please just take it as face value, is that since you talk about firmware updates, updates, updates is that you would have suggested using DJI Assistant 2 for an option or linked in the description as this makes it much easier to check updates. Using the controller alone will not always show them. That is something I've learned in different forums. Always looking forward to your videos.

great video guys! by far my favorite youtube channel! I look forward to all of your videos! keep it up!

Helpful video. Even though I'v flown RC for years, this makes me more confident about buying one, just because of the camera tech side of things. Thanks! :-)

Really good job on this, as always. I've had my Mavic Pro for a while now, and I didn't know you could zoom with it. I'll have to check that out. Keep up the good work and keep those video's comin'. Marc-Mavhawk

Awesome video!

Thanks for sharing these usefull tips. Received my Mavic Pro Fly More Combo friday the 28th january 2017 and all Firmware Updates were done.

Moving timelapse is cool! Probably really easy with the autonomous modes too! I've seen the stop-motion stuff on the ground but that is really time-consuming compared to this. Great tips guys. Oh, yeah, and that Arrow with the aged metal and rivet paint scheme in the background is awesome.

Hey guys, thanks for the great tips. I'm excited to try out the tripod mode/hyperlapse technique this weekend. Any thoughts on the best resolution/fps to use? Cheers!

Thanks for the information on the Mavic Pro guys. Super helpful. I plan to be buying one soon or at least a drone so I was happy to see this video for sure. All the best with your channel.

Excellent tip about the iPad guys, thank you... I was wondering what that USB port is for. What are the gloves you're using that still work on touch screens?

Great presentation. Thanks guys!

Thanks for a good video. I was told that the protective cover for the camera should always be removed before flight, because the drone has ventilation behind the camera, which will not work properly (since it blocks the airflow). So I always remove it. I would suggest u guys make a test, to actually see if the drone gets warmer? (with the cover on of course).

Helpful video guys, thanks!

love a video just on the timelapse please ?

Thanks for the tips they helped a lot and not just for the mavic pro.

That was really helpful guys!!! I can't wait to get my Mavic!!!

Very helpful video, thanks guys 👍🏻

Love the info. Good stuff.

great video as always. I ordered a mavice back in november and it still hadn't shipped by mid january, so after saving up a little extra money I ordered a phantom 4 pro and so far i love it, the only thing that I would have liked is the portability of the mavic, but the better camera and extra sensors are nice :P keep up the great work guys, got into drones because of this channel

Great tips! I think we suppose to remove the camera cover when flying, because it blocks the air vent behind the camera.

Hi I watched I think was Drone Valley and he said leaving the front cover on can cause overheating issues ? Also seen another tube vid where somebody modifies the cover to stop the pro's reflection by cutting a precise hole in it ? I enjoyed your video. I haven't ordered my Mavic yet still trying to convince myself to spend $2500.00 NZD for the combo.

Gotta try that tripod timelapse! Great video guys! 🤙🏼

I got mine in mid December. I absolutely love it. I ended up getting a Pelican Storm case to hold it and all of my accessories for it.

Great video. What setting does the camera need to be on to perform the time lapse. We are getting a house built and I want to do a time lapse video over time.

Great tips, very useful. Thanks for your time.

Thank you for the tripod mode time lapse tip. Works great.

I love your channel, I have always loved aviation.

Nice review! Thx for sharing

Just ordered one and I'm super excited to play with it,Heres my question,I have a set of Walkers Google's 4, Is there a way to make them work with the Mavic? Thanks in advance,Great channel.

Great video. Would you guys give some more tips on the tripod time lapse idea? What are the camera settings? Video or an actual photo time lapse?

You sound very knowledgeable so can I please ask your advise re the mavic I have just got. The mavic box arrived a bit beaten up to begin with but it seemed ok inside. I started setting it up having watched loads of KZfaq videos already so was quite informed re this procedure. I noticed that it didn't want any firmware updates at any stage and some other bits on the app set up were missing too. Once the app had started and it said ready to fly I had no view from the camera, just a black screen behind all the icons. I was told by DJI to use a different device so instead of my iPhone 7 plus I used my iPad Pro 9.7". No difference, the camera still didn't show a picture but I could hear it trying to focus continuously. I phoned DJI and they said it was just a software issue. So I did as they said and downgraded and then upgraded and for the first time I had firmware prompts so I thought all was well. Started it all up, said it was connected and ready to fly etc but still a damn annoying black screen! 3 firmware updates done in all but camera still not working. I tried to fly it and all I could do was very basic, no fly to home etc as the buttons did nothing. The gimbal is ok and moves correctly however. I followed DJIs request re e mailing proof of purchase and evidential photos and I'm 6 days on and dji still won't send a label to send it back as they won't make a decision on what's happening next so I am left in limbo and not happy at all! Have you any suggestions for both i.e. Software suggestions and how to get DJI to pull their finger out and do something. Thank you so much for your time. Regards Moira (have just subscribed)

Thanks guys my Mavik just arrived today. Some good tips.

Another video said that he got overheating with the plastic camera shield on. You can see the vent behind the camera. The shield restricts the air-flow. Sorry but I don't remember which video that was, but he did open the Mavic up to show the insides.

I like this!! Just preordered a Mavic Pro today. I think its still not ready for delivery in Norway. I hope it comes soon!

Could you tell me exactly how you switch "modes" like to the tripod mode?

In camera settings you can adjust the maximum horizontal view of the gimbal by another 30 degrees! Could be helpful if you want to capture anything above the drone

Hi those were really some good tips. One question you talked about zoom and if someone is taping and doesn’t want to hear the prop noise you keep the drone far and zoom, but I noticed when u click to zoom you can hear the peeps. Is there a way to mute these peeps? Thanks.

Tip : If the drone does not hold it´s usual stable gps position it could also be that there are not enough visible satellites, so it may not be a compass error. This happened to me once, my Phantom3 Advanced was not hovering properly, so i checked UAVforecast and visible satellites were only 6 instead of the 15-20 average and there was a thick haze with blue sky above ( very strange weather). Thanks for the tips guys, enjoying your channel especially the drone vids :)

Were you using the DJI GO 4.0 app? Doesn't that have auto-focus? Thx for the tips on manual camera settings.

I like the aerial time lapse...great stuff,. For the white balance for photography, if you shoot in dng raw, white balance can be adjusted in Lightroom in post so no need to mess around with that in camera

Great topic and helpful video. Thanks guys. Keep it up!

Really helpful guys! ☺️

i think its actually really important to mention the supportive clip that holds the gimble steady for transport reasons. Even maybe show people how to take it on or off properly. If you get it right its very easy.

Awesome vid!!

Great tips!... Thank you.... Just got the drone and I am am a newbie on drones... and I just can't figure how do I know if the Intelligent Battery firmware is up to date... A message popped up saying that the firmware has to be updated and so I did and was successful, but I was not sure really if the battery firmware also needs an update... and if so, what about the spare batteries?

The firmware was already up to date on the mavic that I recived in the UK. so far it has managed to battle in 30+mph winds well, make sure to avoid rain though there are allot of spaces that water can get in.

thanks guys. nice job.

Do you guys have any tips regarding maintenance? Meaning maintenance for the motors, oiling certain parts or stuff like that? Regularly aircrafts have some mandatory maintenance every certain amount of hours, just wondering if that is the case for the Mavic, and Drones in General.

great vid,,,what settings did you use for the time lapse? cheers

Isnt it supposed to be calibrated with gimbal facing the ground on second calibration?

Thanks guys, very useful video. Can you please expand a little on the cool timelapse? Is timelapse an option on the camera? Or was that a fast video played at low speed. Cheers.

How do you adjust the yaw.. I like it to be slow to the touch... thank you

I think the last tip is more important that the credit its given. Leaving the clear cover on when you are not shooting video for a production is a really good idea. Especially if you are playing with the active track features. When doing anything that is more high risk, you should leave the cover on. If the mavic crashes, and the gimbal is not covered, its may get caught on something ( like a tree branch) and the weight of the mavic will break the gimbal mounting plate where the gimbal is attached. ( personal experience and there other others on youtube that have posted videos of the likes) There is no way to purchase only the plate from DJI, so it will cost you a refresh. If the Gimbal is covered its less likely to get caught on anything in a crash.

Great tips, thx. I love the Mavic Pro, the easiest drone to fly. I got it last week, with a couple youtube videos I was up on the air, it handles very easy. impressive footage, I did my editing with Final Cut. EASY!!!!! all done in the same day. I went hiking; my bottle water was heavier then my Mavic Pro. I LOVE IT, great work DJI.

Hey Guys. Thanks for a great video on Mavic Pro tips. Quite informative and professional.

Forgot to mention when you want to use the USB plug for a tablet you need to disconnect the other cable from the controller or it won't work.

Great Video. What's your (plural, so everyone chime in here) favorite command to map to the C1/C2? Mentioned in the video was the focus, what else are good to have here?

Great video and thank you. Just one question:- What is "non-dairy transport"?. In Australia I have never heard that term before :).

Can you guys do a video on the Mavic for some better settings ok both cameras and video modes in manual. Basically going through the various settings and what you can do to get better quality. Also would love to know best settings for the gimbal to give it a nice smooth transition side to side and up/down

For the time lapse shot you did, can you set it to focus on a particular object as you fly backwards and away from it? i.e. Looking at your house.

Great video. Love the JJ Abrams reference.

I didn't read through all of the comments to see if this was mentioned or not, but just FYI, your compass calibration dance was different than what DJI's tutorial video mentions. During the second part, they recommend having the gimbal facing downwards. I have performed zero calibrations on my Mavic since receiving it, and have had no issues at all.

Love timelapse idea!

I recently got my mavic and just posted my first video with it! Thanks for the tips guys

Any thoughts on filters? I keep getting mixed rationales and stories from fellow drone users. Thanks guys!

thanks for all those tips!!

When mine finally gets here I shall pit these amazing tips into practice

Great Job....2 things you might want to note on the video.......1.)You cant zoom while in 4K but you can on 2.7k or lower and 2.) If you use the bottom usb port then you need to disconnect the usb cable from the side of the remote or you may have connection issues.

I am totally buying this Drone, that thing is Super DOPE!!

Good work!

First off, thanks for the tips. Quick question, you mentioned the firm ware updates, effects everything minus the propellers. With my Mavic bundle that I got a few weeks ago, it came with three batteries, do I do a firmware update with each battery installed? Thanks Daniel

Hi guys, great video. How did you do the time lapse shot, on the Mavic there is no time lapse setting for the camera.

When you did the tripod mode video, what camera settings were used to get the time lapse?

Hi, on this video, I see you with a tripod for your iPad. Can you tell me more about it ? Did you buy it or you made it ?

Nice one guys. I've got a question after owning a Mavic for 24 hours. Can you explain how the Mavic and phone manage media? Eg. Why an SD card and why does it leave a copy on the phone? Is this low res only? What's the best workflow for extracting you footage? Thanks!

thanks for the review

Excellent tips !! Thanks, cant wait for mine to arrive😉

Thx

How is Mavic's autopilot? I would like to use mine like the Hover Camera Passport when I'm on vacation to take selfie videos/pics. Is this easily doable or do I always need the remote handy?

Good information in your video Sir. Recently i have purchased Mavic Pro. You have shown glare problem in shots. This happens in my drone also. So what is the solution for that
