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!

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.

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

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.

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!

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!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 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 !

how'd ya do that time lapse??

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.

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.

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

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

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!

Thx

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

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

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

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

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.

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! :-)

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.

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

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.

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

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

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?

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?

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

Awesome video!

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

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?

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

Great presentation. Thanks guys!

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

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)

Aerial timelapse with tripod mode - oh yes!

Great tips, very useful. Thanks for your time.

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.

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).

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

Can you use your iPhone and an iPad at the same time?

Does keeping the camera protector on block the intake fan?

Nice review! Thx for sharing

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.

I got a question how would you but the mavic rc antenna for a far range?

Any question compare with the Phanton in which when the battery is dangly depleted or, if lost connection... the Mavic with switch automatically to "Return Home"?

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.

Love the info. Good stuff.

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

Helpful video guys, thanks!

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

quick question... I am new to drones and have a mavic now. I have noticed that even thou I have tapped to focus in the middle of the screen, my shots tend to have the left side of the picture sharper than the left. I have tried under different settings including manual and i still see this issue. Not sure if anyone else has had this issue or dont know if i am doing something wrong.

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

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

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.

Awesome vid!!

hmmm tripod mode... i wonder if i set the controller settings on my p3 to the looooowest they go if it will be similar?

Very helpful video, thanks guys 👍🏻

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

Since it will connect to a Ipad, which is a good thing, is it also capiable of connecting Headplay googles to it. I have heard it will not but they must have not known about the Ipad connecting. I have the Inspire 1.2 and it will. Anyway,,Thanks

thanks for the review

@FliteTest -How did you do the timelapse footage?

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

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.

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.

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

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 ?

Which phone do you use. My OnePlus 3T gets disconnected randomly on DJI Go app

How did you get the time lapse video? Can a hobbyist like myself do it or do you have to have post production editing software?

if I put mavic platinum props on my mavic pro will it give my pro 3 more mins of flight time and less DBs

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

thanks joe... i had plan to buy one mavic soon..

thanks guys. nice job.

love a video just on the timelapse please ?

Hello ! I have tried to make a timelapse with my Mavic sitting on a table, not flying. The pictures came up not perfect aligned. Has anyone tested it before? I thought that, with the Mavic not flying, the pictures should look as if it was on a tripod. Performed the same test shooting video, and the camera also moves (slightly, the timelapse pictures makes it more evident). Could that be a guimbal problem, or al the mavics behave this way? Also, I saw your tripod mode timelapse test. Did you stabilize the footage? Thank you!

Do you guys work/live by that bridge you showed?

Do I need cellular service for this? I have an old iPhone that could be put to use.

I'm used to dealing with manual camera settings as I used them with my DSLR all the time. The issue with this on the mavic is how well you can see the screen. Often before I even start to fly I'll sit the mavic on a flat surface and point it towards something (preferably a white object) so I can really dial in the white balance. I haven't done a lot of night flying but when I was trying to get a nice city horizon shot I ended up just setting everything to auto because there wasn't enough reference on the screen to really dial in the optimal manual settings.

I have a mavic the gimbal is not working right it will pan up and down and then go into the down position and a couple second do it again need help

What software are you using to get time laps in tripod mode?

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?

How do you set it to auto touch focus

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.

Love timelapse idea!

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

thankyou for the info. I keep losing contact (every flight) with android and LG5 phone as tablet. Any ideas please. Jonathan Basckin Cape Town South Africa

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.

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

Hi, I did not quit understand how you do that timelapse effect? Pl explain. You fly the mavic in which mode outside? how does some things ( like cars) are in timelapse as otherr like little mountain or so ar not??? thanks
