DJI Mavic 2 Pro - bit.ly/ShopMavicPro2 Alternative - bit.ly/ShopMavicPro Lightroom Presets: bit.ly/DSPresetPack Hope you guys like the video, it has been a massive project of mine with many hours of editing, so your likes & shares would be very appreciated! - Mike

Used the original Mavic 1 Pro for real estate photos, owner was selling his house. What i didnt know was that he was a professional photographer so i was nervous taking photos with the drone. I did post-work on the photos with Lightroom and used Cinema ND filters from PolarPro, but he was impressed and loved the photos! Now im saving to buy the Mavic 2 Pro :) Cant wait

I think that this is a cool drone ! I was on the fence on buying one , but now i think that I’m going to have to pull the trigger and get one.

Mavic 2 is god sent. I'm stoked to use it everyday.

I love the photo quality about this drone, Similar to the P4 pro. But as far as film footage, details like trees look a bit muddied. As a portable drone, awesome but depending on the job it maybe pushing the requirements and quality. Great jobs.

An excellent review. I agree with all your points. Having had a Phantom 4 Pro and a Mavic Air, the Mavic 2 Pro is my preferred drone. One thing which I really like is it’s flight characteristics and quiet operation. To get the full benefits from this drone, I also agree you need to enjoy the extra effort of postproduction to get what you want.

I wanna buy cheap mini drone under $50 for my little brother.,, and youtube recommending me this video., 🙈🙈

I loved the opening clip, awesome footage and great editing. And I really enjoy when someone takes the time to really learn about their new drone and spend some quality time with it. And than post a thoughtful and informative review. Excellent job Mike.

the footage/editing In the beginning is absolutely incredible! amazing work!!!

The maximum distance is up to 8km not 5.

That Prmeiere Pro green frame flicker at 1:03 though ;)

its not all about videos! Personnally my main use for my mavic 2 pro is for photographs, which it does very good job at 20MP

I use the Mavic 2 Pro for all my videos. I love it!

I got the M2P w/ Smart Controller. I hope you don’t mind me reviewing the controller here in this comment. Yea, I got the Mavic to turn my Nikon FE2 into a display piece. Now I can fly the lens around, and control it with the camera back. I get the whole photography approach, and yes sir, manual settings have always been the way to go. But this Smart Controller has been keeping me busy and I haven’t got to really enjoy flying the drone yet. The folks that got the controller you add your phone to, are having a way better time than us unsuspecting SC users. The SC won’t talk to cellphones, fair enough, there’s one in it running Android 7.1.2. So for Live Streaming, forget it. Android has you locked out cuz Dji locked us out. Like giving your kid a restricted phone. Can’t install apps. I can’t install anything from GooglePlay Store, says “device not on my google acct” eventhough I’m logged into Google in Lightening browser. Even Google has a few white papers on tayloring Android and how they’re trying to sway folks away from doing so. Don’t know why DJI would lock users out of a cellphone as their controller systems are designed around a fully functional phone. Ya can’t even adjust the text on the screen so you can read it. You folks without Smart Controllers for the Mavic 2 series, hold off! It ain’t right yet. Those who can jailbreak cellphones would have a better chance with success. Research! I don’t know if I will try jailbreaking my SC but I’ll at least look into it. If the usb port is for mem sticks and cell phones, its also for device communication. Should be able to share my cell connection with SC through USB, and can’t. SC users should be able to do as non-SC users, except without having to add a cell phone. Dji’s Go4 app doesn’t talk to Apple devices with their own app installed. I been creative, figuring out ways to get videos and pictures off the drone faster, so far is pull the card and put it in the SC and transfer files through GoShare wifi hotspot. And like I said no live streaming, can’t install anything to support app. Also, you have no control over power management like you would on your cellphone. Battery life could last longer, and displays wouldn’t hurt so much at night when low ambient lights are necessary. So enough about the SC controller. Sorry, spent all day discovering strategies that didn’t work It’s a fairly solid controller, good weight, sturdy, and comfortable. Nice design, but don’t fit in the Fly More case if I’m to protect the drone batteries. And the SC won’t fit anywhere else except that one compartment. Glad I only got 3 batteries for now, sure got crowded when I moved my drone stuff into it. So, I’m kind of a geek... One suggestion I have is the SC controller has a HDMI port, probably broadcast only. Anyway, and the SC has the big micro usb plug (heh, like some Android devices I’ve seen). Sony is getting nice with their tech, seems they’re trying to open their VR platform. Could I really fly my drone on my property from my living room in PSVR someday? If that don’t sound like work, don’t know what to tell ya. Just some of the things I learned along the way today. Oop, Dinner time... I’m glad yer into the photography aspect, I gotta lotta catchin’ up ta do. What you put in videos, I had to read in books once, which are “pdf’s” today... 2nd notice gotta go or the dog’s gettin’ fed....

I'm not sure if anyone else mentions it, but the Mavic 2 is a platform. The flight characteristics, battery life, propellers, and other features are identical between the Mavic 2 Zoom, Pro, and Enterprise. The only difference is the camera. If you go in thinking you'll get a better drone with the Pro over the Zoom, you won't. You get a different camera on the same drone.

A very good, honest and unbiased review. I found it most useful and has definitely given me food for thought.

well done video, short and to the point.

Great video. Thank you. I’m new to drones. First.flew w my Mavic Air this summer. Now I’m flying the M2P. Love it!

barrel distortion is not the fault of the drone but the camera. correction please at 3:11 Blame the camera for all the footage shortcomings

Great information. I'm trying to decide which Mavic Pro to buy. I'm leaning towards the Zoom version

Funny thing is and the part i have learned with all these cool stuff (Action cams, Gimballs, Drones etc) for the most of us ( so thats non proffesional) its not about the stuff you have its about the place you are, learn it with the basics, perspective is way more important than a 300, 600 or a 1200+ costing drone.

That's Bulgaria! Love the Black Sea coastline in Nessebar. Great review bro!

Thanks for your opinion, it's a good unbias look at this.

When your flying do you have your phone in a privacy mode or airplane mode so people cannot call and disturb when your flying?

Awesome review!! Sending some sub love from Toronto Canada 🇨🇦

3:18 flat earth app confirmed

Nice. Today I just decided to upgrade from Air to Phantom, because I saw what it is capable of. The footage is just pure goodness straight out of box!

Mike, I finally got a chance to use the LUT you’ve so graciously linked. OMG, thank you. This is the BEST LUT I’ve ever used. Very nice work and thank you!!!!!

I love this drone. Best drone I've ever owned. - future me

Thank you for this honest review. Can you confirm whether or not the M2P has the tilted horizon issue that seems to plague all drones. I imagine you know that the tilted horizon is different than the barrel distortion.

thank you for this beautiful video it confirms my desire to purchase very soon to move to this model for my travels.

Really miss my Mavic Pro Platinum. Had to sell it cause I needed the money at the time but, Man do I miss it.

As a pilot of real planes, it's funny to hear you talk about precision landings, as this are features allowing planes to land in low visibility. Would be pretty amazing to see drones being able to perform landings in low visibility...

For all serious editors using Davinci Resolve, who wish to correct barrel distortion : Select your clip, open the inspector and set the lens correction value to 0.145. You're welcome.

I’m surprised people are not talking much about how the lens is only 28mm. It’s still a great drone. But I’m making the leap from phantom 4 which had nearer to 21mm lens. And it makes me feel a bit uneasy. That’s why I’m tempted to go for zoom which has 24mm.

I am looking to get a Mavic 2 Pro this week. Question for experienced drone owners: how common are accidents/crashes and do you purchase drone insurance?

Plan to get my first drone for beginners.. whether it's mavic 2 pro or mavic air, which one should i choose?

Have you ever had a "gimbal overload" error message? Can you share any wisdom? Grateful

Your videos are absolutely gorgeous. Congratulations. I'm following you. Thanks for the useful information.

Thanks for making this video! What level of ND filter should we use to attain the best result - or does it depend on how bright the sky is? There are packs for sale that cut the light from 2-4 stops and ones that cut the light by 7-10 stops, which do you recommend?

Really excellent video. Thank you.

I start work on new videos with DJI marvic 2 pro amazing! !

had problems with the freewell nd filters fit and finish. ended up with the dji nd filters and they function flawlessly.

Though I respect ur opinion but what else can u use or recommend that’s better then 2 pro? I don’t think there is anything

Wow ok,trying to decide between the portability of the pro 2 and the camera quality of the phantom. What to do,what to do.

Awesome honest feedback. many thanks

Had to check the date on this video lol M2P over all!

It's phenomenal! Love it

Hi please tell me if it can take pictures and record video without the need of a wifi connection and if you can see the videos in real time without wifi connection. Thanks for your reply and the video

Nice video. I'm loving the Mavic 2 Pro. It's incredible where I've been able to fit it and shoot with from India to Colorado

Thank you very much for honest and smart reivew

Sat watching this with my mavic mini 😂 as I’m upgrading to the pro 2 next month

Mavic 2 gimbal protector has a skin on it and it’s often difficult to put the protector back on. Do you know why if we are supposed to take that skin off from protector. Apologies for the daft question, this is my first ever drone so just learning about it

Subed,...great video, was going to get the mavic pro 1 but now the 2 is a must

I've seen a lot of Mavic 2 reviews but man I have to tell you, yours are some of the best. I find then quit easy to watch and very understandable. Btw, amazing shots and videos.

bro more videos about luts please, really love this content, keep upload bro

thank you for sharing. i cannot wait to have one.

Great tips in this video. Thanks

4:02 The bloody hell are you doing in my city? It's practically in the middle of nowhere! Varna, Bulgaria 🇧🇬

When you power off the drone.. will it power up if left idle for 7,8,9 hours? Thanks. Great video

It's better for the battery to not use up the last 20%. Hybrid cars keep some charge in their LiPo batteries to extend the lifespan

After dealing and trying to fix firmware update issues a dozen times (like many), I've decided not to purchase any DJI product again and will advise all my friend to do so as well. Looking at Autel evo 2 pro now.

I use the Mavic 2 Pro for all my videos-thanc

Question: What is the Life Expectancy (Hours) of the DJI Motors on this Drone ? Are there replacements sold separately by DJI ?

Can i ask a stupid question? Will these drones flip over on their tops? Like a airplane doing a barral roll or loop.

I'll wait to purchase when they get all the features up to snuff.

so I just bought one, is there some filters that you shuldnt buy or should I get them all?. Im a new to this but Im really going all in for this.

Thank you very much for your review. One question which filters can you recommend and which filters do you use more often the polarpro shutter or the polarpro vivid? Can`t decide between this two and would be very happy about help :-) Thank you very much in advance. Cheers Mark

The range is great on a mavic 2 ocusync 2 is amazing I wish DJI would have used ocusync for the mavic air instead of crappy Wi-Fi thank you DJI for killing that one

Great video! Thanks for sharing!

Do you have an update video after a few more months and added features?

Looking forward to getting this drone! Have things improved with the software features?

Great video once again Mike!👍🏾 Can't remember if I've asked before but what is the spec of your computer you use for editing?

Very good review man thank you

What drone do you recommend

Nice review, just want to ask you: i heard that if you use the drone full speed for long time the batteries puff out so they get off the Mavic in middle air. Did you try it full throttle for let said 1 minute?

I've been looking into buying a drone for the past 2-3 years but haven't made up my mind yet. I would use it mostly for recreational purposes outdoors when camping, hiking, travel, etc. Not planning on uploading or sharing content really. Would you recommend this drone for a first time user? Is it too much, too difficult? I'd appreciate any thoughts. Thanks.

Can I disable the lights on the drone?

тъкмо се чудя дали да сменям стария mavic, сега ще изгледам видеото, брато як клип на Варна и картинга.. къртиш! а.. и мн добър английски, браво!

How is the firmware updates as of today which is over a year from this video. I am about to buy the mavic air 2 or this and I'm torn

it is really that good, i use it alredy over 3 months and this is the best DJI

I would like to know if anybody can answer me , what type of computer will be an ideal for editing drones photo and videos

Very nice comprehensive review.

i'm going to key west soon and are thinking about this drone. thanks

I’m just getting into drone I just bought the eachine e520s what do you think and what do you strongly recommend for beginners

best mavic 2 pro review, how does this guys mind work? it picked mine for sure

Well made video good job

Great review, thanks. I'm not sure if I missed something about the focus issue that I'm having, every time I try to take a video, I have to press on the point of interest where my focus point is, and if I don't, then that area is always blurry. Tried the AF but that did not help. Also the focus time is so slow to a point that its very noticeable when reviewing the video footage... When I had the Mavic Air, I had no problem like that. Any idea or help?

As usual Mike... right on.

Did I see a flyover of the Sports palace and the Naval academy in Varna, Bulgaria??? I was born not too far from there... great video and nice edit!!! Keep the coming

Where to I get the battery accessory from? To convert it to a power bank for charging mobile phones?

I find that using my inspire two with the Zen muse Ask for S I don’t have to do as much editing using this particular camera the X5S simply blows the Mavic two pro camera out the water

Watching this cause im getting one tomo

This one now how much plz let me know

This is a really good video, its balanced and well argued. Ive got a pro 2 and youre right on almost every point. Im keeping mine as..for the money..there isnt a comparable drone. As you say, its all in post!

over a year on has all the negatives been sorted in firmware updates before i press the buy button ?

Thanks for this video.

Good video Mike

Here I am on the other side of the world, having almost forgotten my home town, just looking at the new mavic, and then I see this video. You just made my day mate. Шашна ме човек, Варна още ли е в ремонти?

Are the sensors sensitive? Will it fly straight into something
