Rick, in my business no news is good news, but I can't stay silent any more. I love your videos. Your delivery is classy filled with information based on experience instead of so many others that are just repeating the sales info provided by the dealer. Great Job! Please keep them coming! Still waiting for my Mavic to arrive😩.

In depth explanation, but concise overview of the entire gimbal menu - these settings make a big difference in getting 'cinematic' footage - thanks for the video!

I've just received my mavic today but to be honest without your videos I'd feel a little bit lost as this is a really smart piece of drone... Thank you! And keep posting your recommendations!

Great video! I like that you take your time and show examples, easy to follow. So many people talk fast that I get lost at what they are trying to explain. Once again, thank you!

Rick I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed your tutorial in gimbal settings. This in my opinion is the best teaching video on the Mavic Pro that I have seen so far. Good Job.

Some videos can be long winded and off putting, this one is set out brilliantly. Subscribed.

Hi Rick: I gotta tell you that I've watched literally hundreds of MAVIC Pro video for many different reasons with settings & operation being first & foremost to me. I can say with 100% certainty that you & your channel is unequivocally the very best on all of KZfaq and I'm subbing your channel as soon as I finish this comment. I just got my MAVIC PRO yesterday. I flew my best friends MAVIC for the first time 3-days ago and was SHOCKED AT HOW EASY IT WAS TO FLY! Here is the twist in all of this; I'm 56-years old and permanently disabled due to 4-near death auto accidents, I wasn't responsible for. I was hit by others, for which their driving under influence was the direct cause of the accidents & injuries sustained. It's to long & to detailed to go into, so I will make it brief. If, and only "if? you are interested to know more, just IM me or contact me through KZfaq. I broke my neck in 3-places and was completely paralyzed from the neck down. Believe it or not, tonight is the 40th anniversary of that accident which happened on February 4, 1978 at age 16. After 2-years and 3700-hours of therapy, plus a 12-hour reconstructive surgery on my neck, I lived past the 2-4 weeks I was given. I got back just enough function to be able to stand & take a few awkward, off balance steps, with severe limp & drop foot on both feet. I did however get back enough arm & hand function that I was at 80-90% of normal. Doctors all said, " you have absolutely zero% of ever using my arms or legs and I'd need to learn how to use a specialized wheelchair. Is said, " BS! I'm walking out of this hospital no matter how bad you say my spinal cord is crushed & severed in 3-separate levels! ". The rest I'll tell you later if you like. I mention this because flying A MAVIC and taking both video & photos allows me the possibility of making a little xtra money as it's IMPOSSIBLE to live of Social Security Disability. My hands and fingers work as well or better than some as is my Eye Hand Coordination. My goal is to get all licenses & certifications to do so under all rules & regulations. Your Videos are what I plan on using in learning all the tips, tricks, and basic functions of the MAVIC PRO, in order to achieve my goal. Granted I made my first flight from the stable platform of my wheelchair, but hope to master FPV Goggles if and when I can afford them? I wanted to thank you personally for producing the highest quality video instructions and appreciate your sharing your wealth of KNOWLEDGE- SKILLS- and doing so with a very POSITIVE ATTITUDE‼️ Keep up the excellent work, and I forwarded this video & your channel to several other MAVIC PRO owners & friends of mine. Sorry so long, but it was worth it IMO.BEST WISHES & CONTINUED GOOD FORTUNE.Wm. Sturman ~

A wealth of good information. The "Synchronized Gimbal Pan / Follow" may explain why the propellers sometimes end up in the shot. I noticed that while playing around with the responsiveness and agility of my Mavic.

Great clip. You inform us about the different settings without our trial and error. Thanks again.

Hey Rick, just wanted to say you are one of the best for informative videos. Thanks for your hard work making my work easier.

Rick, I have watched several of your videos. I appreciate the no-nonsense, get-down-to-it, approach that you take. The "let me show you what that looks like" visual is stellar. Great job! I will be watching more of your videos!

Sir...you are my man. I have trolled through a LOT of how-to videos on the web and your videos are clear, concise with excellent graphics. Also each subject is well explained followed by an example. You have taken my drone flying to the next level and I can now WOW my friends with drone shots instead of putting them to sleep!

Rick that clip is great like all the others ! I learned so much of them before I received my mavic that I was not even worry to put my hands on it at my first flight ! keep doing that fantastic job ! cheers from France :-)

Because of your show I get so much more out of my drone thank you so much for the information.

Thank you very much for doing what you do. You must have been a teacher as a profession because you are VERY easy to learn from! Excellent job!

I think this way you do it is EXELLENT repeating twice is good becouse Drone Valley has a lot of European viewers and someone like me does not speak very well Englisch. Iam a big Fan. Keep up the good job.

Excellent video...extremely well done! Even though the my Mavic Pro is somewhat an aged drone I’m sure people, like myself, often view it before changing their gimbal settings. Thank you for continuing to make it available. Phil - Kentucky

Superbly clear, proffesional video, well done, DJI themselves ought to be getting in touch !

You're a gifted and professional explainer who wastes no time. Thank you very much.

Thank You Rick, you have produced the clear'est instruction videos I have ever seen on the Mavic. Presentation and content second to none. It maybe 2 years old, but still many new users of this Bird, (like myself) who do not know any of what we should know. I look forward to watching the rest of your videos and any new ones too. THANK YOU..

Sir. unbelievable job. I am a retired police Captain out of the state of Michigan and been flying Mavic Pro for around a year and just got another one which I am now using. A year ago on my first mavic I did a firmware update and it appeared to go well and then dropped out of he ski, It was one that I did not update the battery but it was their first firmware and I watch it drop like a atom bomb, This new one I have shows a firmware update I believe of 400 but afraid of doing it. My drone flies perfect, lands o return hone on the X and takes good pictures and everything seems to work, now that I adjusted my gimble with your help that does not concern me at all, but this update is for different music and goggles and one other with minor tweeks. This drone has been flawnless, all sensors, perfect, beautiful pictures but I am scared to death to do a firmware update. I just ordered a Plantinum to have a extra, but sometimes updates can make you regret it afterwards. Since I am a retired Police Officer that means I am not to sharp but you have restored honesty, your presentation Is second to none. Please if you have time can you give me some advise as I dont know how this Mavic can perform any better, thanks Rick

We just got our Mavic Pro and have really learned a lot from your videos. Thanks!

I was able to follow you with my remote control because you are so easy to understand. I now have my adjusted perfect thank you, thank you, thank you

Ever since I was blessed with my Mavic pro, lol, I’ve been watching your vids. Very informative, and professional. Keep em coming Is this a great bird or what! Love it

I've just recently bought a P3 standard and your videos have been a big help. Your very easy to learn from and I appreciate these videos.

Thanks for the precise step by step demonstrations and explanations. Cheers!

Awesome video as always. When I get my Mavic back from repair, I will try out these setting for sure.

You are ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! You are the best I have found on KZfaq in explaining things as I am just taking up this hobby! Many, many thank you! You are greatly appreciated!

Just got a New Mavic Pro. So Glad I found you . Thank You for all you do , you definitely put up some great videos and do a great job explaining the modes and tips. Looking forward on watching all your vids on the Mavic. Thanks again.

Really good job of thoughtful explanation. Thanks for what you're doing. For those that learn by doing, rather than reading, this helps a ton. Thanks, again!

Another cracking tutorial, your priceless to us beginners and demonstrate an easy to understand yet in depth walk through on the Mavic controls and especially the video settings. I appreciate your efforts immensely and look forward to further tutorials.

Just watched about 10 of your videos... I was about to go to sleep but then you uploaded this!!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 I just received my Mavic two days ago

Hey Rick! Just wanted to Thank You for taking the time and energy to make these videos. Your reviews are concise and to the point. You make it easy for people like me to apply the information you provide and learn the proper way to use our Mavic! Thanks again! Paul

Havent got mine yet but watching Billys video is time well spent I feel. Thanks Bill

Rick, I thoroughly enjoyed your Video, informative , well structured & easy to follow. I am thinking of purchasing the Mavic.

I always learn something new from Rick! Please keep this up sir!

you explaining the smoothness with the blacktop and ice was pretty good. i mean i had already figured out what it did but the way you dumb things down so anyone can understand you is great. not saying you're dumb because you do not seem dumb at all lol, but the way you explain things gives everyone a chance to understand.

Thanks for your video. Wait for more settings videos. Flying settings and filming settings. Specially what you use.

Good Job! Now I know better my Mavic Pro. Thanks a lot from Italy.

Thanks waiting for my Drone to arrive, have been watching dozens of KZfaq videos, appreciate your valuable input.

Awesome info. The more the better, can't wait for the other videos of this app.. Thanks for doing this it's great!

Great video! I just got my Mavic Pro yesterday. Look forward to the next one.

Thanks , Rick another extremely useful video , im finding the Mavic drone such fun to fly and as you say it is one or some piece of equipment, and very complex but once you get all the setting set up it is fun to fly thanks again Eric

I just bought a pro platinum. I know this is older tech yet what a quad! Good info and video

Sleepless at 3am ? Have no fear, DroneValley will keep you entertained and informed trough a bout of insomnia ! As always a great video and very informative.

Settings explanation + video samples worked great. I thought it 'd be a too long video but it did not feel like it, very helpful. Thanks.

I'm just getting my first drone (DJI Mavic Pro) and I appreciate your in-depth explanations. Thank you.

Always excellent explanations and commentary. Easy to understand but doesn't feel like its being "dumbed down." Great work.

You are so helpful in the step by step process to understand this wonderful drone. You make learning easy. Thank you for taking the time and hours of effort. We see a 18 minute video but to place the side by side comparisons in post productions and all editing you must have to do is amazing! Some day I would enjoy a detailed video on how you get to end results.

Wow! Super production: Gimbal setting examples discussed, illustrated, highlighted and in focus; Actual footage of various settings and their effects; Solid, first class instruction and demonstration with no distracting shrill wannabe "personalities" looking for an acting career. This is the best I have seen and is now safely in my "Mavic Instructions" folder!

Very thorough explanation, thank you. I am looking to buy my first drone and this video has been very helpful and has answered many questions I had on how the gimbal parameters work.

Outstanding delivery of valuable information! Thank you

very thorough and detailed explanations, thanks!

great video! I just received my magic Friday. I can't wait to unbox it and get my review done and start flying. these tips and tricks you present are awesome. I'm really impressed with the extended gimble tilt.

Very professional. This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks

Great tips and clear presentation, look forward to your next in depth sub menu tutorial, thanks

This was great! Thanks for making these videos, my Obi-Wan! It's really amazing how much videography forethought went into the design of these little things.

Who gave this a thumbs down? The information provided here is extremely useful.

One of the best drone channels there is on KZfaq. Keep up the good work 😊👍

The upward range of movement of the gimbal is used in forward flight to keep the camera on the horizon. If you got it tilted up already and start to fly forwards, the camera will start to look down.

Thank you very much, going to try the new settings ......

I really enjoy your videos. They are packed with information and expertly produced. I believe they are the best available . Thank you for all your guidance.

Very well paced explanation. Ty very much sir.

I am very impressed with the indepth videos. Always appreciate your hard work to offer supreme information for your audience.

Great video, nice explanations and time well spent. Thanks for sharing all those tips!

Another brilliant tutorial... Thanks Rick

Great video from you again Rick!!, always very Good advice, I am learning a Lot from yours, thanks for sharing all of them.

Exceptional clarity. Thanks.

very through run threw of the gimbal settings. thanks for the video

Hi Rick, Thanks for your great video. Just learning my way around my new Mavic and your channel is a great help. Mike, your new subscriber, Western Australia.

Great video. Very informative and the settings were well explained.

Just got word my Mavic is on the way but still a month out Great job as always Rick

Fantastic. Very clear & explained well.

Great advice for a newbie like myself. This info will really help me crank up my footage!

Another great video, appreciate the detail. Thanks Rick!

Many thanks for all your effort Rick. I just got my Mavic, incredible machine. Your video's have made the whole experience a lot easier and given me so much information...Thank you.

These settings worked perfect. Just got a Mavic Pro Platinum and have been needing help with gimbal settings.

That was a very informative video....waiting on my shipment and this will really help in set up. Thanks again for all your great videos....looking forward to future clips. Take care.

Thank you! Clear and Concise!

Extremely helpful. Thank you very much

Thank you Rick, very helpful, I've received my mavic last week Yeah! Only one thing though, now i can't stop flying and playing around with different settings. Cheers

Thanks! I have learned slower is better recently when doing cinematic stuff. These settings are great

Another very informative video. The time-stamp data is helpful as a quick reference later.

As always very detailed video. Thanks this is very useful

Great information , I just got my Mavic last week and already dealing with these issues , thank you for the Help this should make things a lot better

Brilliant video , just what I was after , thanks

Hi Rick, good video as always. A couple points for consideration: With regard to the extended gimbal tilt, remember how the aircraft pitches downward when flying forward, especially in sport mode. That extra 30 degrees of upwards range is used to keep a stable shot when the camera angle is set to the horizontal position. Try flying forward, especially in sport mode with the gimbal tilt in that extended range. My personal experience has been that the gimbal sometimes does odd behaviors, including losing the ability to fully stabilize the camera. Leaving the extended range off (which I don't do, either), helps guarantee that the camera can stabilize whatever attitude the aircraft might present. As for adjusting gimbal roll. Your method is great, however I've found that doing it in flight is probably the easiest. Just pull up the horizon and adjust until level. If a visual guide is needed, turn on the grid lines. I've also found that sometimes the gimbal roll may be slightly off on start up, but moving the gimbal through its range of movements seems to get things back to where they are normally set for some reason. I recommend moving the gimbal fully downward, then back to level and also switching to portrait mode and back before making any gimbal corrections. Doing this quick exercise seems to get everything back to perfect with the previously set gimbal calibration. To facilitate this, I have the portrait/landscape toggle and the gimbal up/down toggle both assigned on the 5-way controller (left and right controller actions, respectively). Another advantage to having the gimbal up/down toggle readily available on the 5-way is that you can set the gimbal speed really slow for the reasons you alluded to, but still be able to switch between looking ahead and down rather quickly. The up/down toggle speed seems to be independent of the of gimbal EXP setting. So if you need to quickly look up, or directly down, the toggle can get you there quickly, even if the gimbal tilt wheel can't. One final personal muse somewhat related to the topic at hand: While there's a pan follow on/off, I sure wish that there was a smoothness setting for this, much like the tilt. Trying to smooth out of a yaw move for the end of a pan shot has been a little challenging for me, despite playing with the aircraft stick EXP settings. I would hope DJI would eventually realize this. It's an important aspect of videography and the reason that fluid pan head tripods exist. Thanks again for an informative video.

Solid video, I really appreciate the level of specificity you provide and the quality of your examples. Subscribed.

and the plane English award goes too ? .... thanks for the video and thanks for explaining the settings in simple easy to understand English ;)

Very informative and precise. Thank you!

Clear and concise. Thanks.

Great video, again. You explain stuff so everyone understands. My compliments.

Excellent explanation and insight. Thank you! I just changed my gimbal settings per your guidance.

Thank you very much for informative video you have helped me out alot.
