Mavic 2 Zoom Follows Wired Cruiser E-bike
I used my Mavic 2 Zoom along with the Maven App for DJI drones to follow my Wired Cruiser E-bike ride just for fun. Basically I did this for fun so I could use my Insta360 X3 camera, DJI Mavic 2 Zoom, Movo Wireless Mini Camera Microphone & my Wired Cruiser E-bike all on the same project. Why?. cause I'm retired and loving it!

Young Electric Mate R Hitch 2-Bike Rack Hauling Two E-bikes
Переглядів 1,6 тис.6 місяців тому
Just a short video showing the Young Electric Mate R 2-bike hitch rack hauling two e-bikes attached to my 2023 Bronco 2" receiver. I used my Insta360 X3 camera to film how the bike rack performs with two e-bikes loaded. I am impressed how well the e-bikes are secured. The only movement you see is my 360° camera bouncing on the long selfie stick it's attached too.

That was very smart
2019 does it intermittently but pressed and held the +volume and seems to fix the issue. Happened 2x in 6months. Will probably replace the clock spring like others
thanks to whoever did this. i havent been in a long time and it is so nice to see it again. my family has gone every year in one way or another since the late 90s. i have a fond memory sitting in the back of the truck with hot chocolate we got at the shack there. that was the last time we were all together before we went our separate ways.
@@TheLoudenclear you are welcome and I’m so glad you liked it.
How do you load a 216 lbs guy onto a rack without hurting your back you don’t that damn guy will hurt you in ways you never even imagined seriously 😳
What?
Why the drone kept on going from left to right instead of just following from behind? Is it the settings?
Yes, it is in the settings I chose for this video. I chose what is called Orbit where the drone tries to follow me while doing a circle around me. I had the Orbit speed set to slow so the drone couldn't really circle around me properly thus it followed beside me and sometimes behind me. It is possible to set it to just follow from behind though. Thanks for your question.
@jodythomas i need some help. I've just tested this app, and each time, after recording some flights using Follow Me mode, i can't fly the drone back. It happens after i press stop recording. Seems like the app just freezes, and i have to exit the app to reconnect the drone and controller. What's the proper way to take full control of my drone after i hit the stop record button? Thanks I'm using DJI Mini 2 with Maven Lite for android
@@jimmyyeo I also have a Mini 2 and a Mavic 2 Zoom but I use the IOS version on my iPhone. I think what I do after using any of the co-pilot modes I press the big white arrow on the top left of my screen. That takes me back to the main app page. Then I click on the drone icon in the middle of the screen which takes me to the normal flight mode. I would go outside and check this but it is really windy here today.
Thanks for making this video. Saved me a lot of time. Made sure I gave it a like!
Glad it helped!
Hey Jody-Nice video! I guess great minds think alike (haha). You and I have the same Wired bike & the same bike rack. I love this rack! Very sturdy. Holds my Wired bike very securely. Looking forward to when I can get a 2nd e-bike to load up on this rack.
I had exact same problem in 2017 F150: volume up changes source. I replaced clock spring and FIXED THE PROBLEM. The new clock spring is WVE brand made by trusty NTK/NGK It's below $100 from rockauto and 30 minute job. Because it is such a simple device: front and back connectors connected by a ribbon cable, I hoped to fix it by soldering the break point. I fully disassembled the OE clock spring, but found no smoking gun. Ribbon looks new. I checked every inch. No kink or tear. On ends, the ribbon's exposed copper leads are "welded" (solderless) to copper pins, and I found no obvious broken weld either. I used multimeter and tested continuity between every pair of pins on 2 sides. They are all good. A better continuity test would be doing so while rotating or wiggling the device. But I couldn't handle the multimeter and rotate it at same time. I'd say the weld is the weakest point. There could be a crack in it.
This demonstration of the Maven app's precise and seamless integration with the venerable Mavic 2 Zoom is a great reminder that these 5-year-old DJI masterpieces of drone engineering still give a good account of themselves as versatile aerial photography platforms. The Mavic 2 Zoom is a superbly designed alternative to the newest DJI drones emerging even today in October 2024, five years past the time when the Mavic 2 Zoom and Mavic 2 Pro were released to become flagships of the DJI hobbyist-grade quadcopter drone category. I'll never sell my pair of Mavic 2 Pros and my first ever Mavic 2 Zoom is inbound by snail mail as I type these words. Compatible with Litchi and capable of autonomously completing waypoint missions even if the controller is powered off, the M2Zoom and M2Pro are the last of the truly unfettered DJI quadcopters. Thank you sir for posting this excellent video testimony that "recertifies" the tried and tested Mavic 2 Zoom workhorse for the discerning aerial photographer not inclined to follow trends chased by the loping herd.
@@riverbankfisher thank you for your awesome comment. I agree with you 100%. I will not buy a newer DJI drone until they decide to release the SDK for 3rd party developers. The Maven and Litchi apps are a great tool to use for drone filming.
Hey, can you post a link to that rack? Nice video, too.
@@TheChazWik sure and thank you. youngelectricbikes.com/collections/hitch-bike-rack/products/young-electric-mate-foldable-hitch-bike-rack-2-receiver-200-lbs-capacity?variant=43722933829840&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAApDdGXeTLMXAnPDkXgdmP7Uux7U0C&gclid=CjwKCAjwxY-3BhAuEiwAu7Y6s_zOwfOHMWfVH6X8t7638rGVDgN7gRWwb2hK1xEM7Yea5lZqZAyJExoCFAYQAvD_BwE
Pedal. It's a bike. Don't become too dependent on the motor. Mine's coming on Tuesday. I got the Hunter green one. Can't wait.
@@luigiprovencher point taken. My wife keeps telling me to pedal also for exercise. I have an Aventon Aventure2 and it has a torque sensor so I do pedal it quite often. Enjoy your e-bike!
@@jodythomas Exactly. That's why I want you to pedal, too.
Hey Jody-Nice demo of the Young Soul R Ebike rack! How has it held up since you’ve had it? I bought the dual tray Mate R. It arrives 10/2/24.
@@EnergizedZonie thanks! I now have both the Sole R and Mate R and both are working great. I really like the Mate R since it will fold up when not in use and take up less space than the Sole R when mounted. I put my heaviest e-bike closest to my car (Wired Cruiser) and the Aventon Aventure 2 at the end. I use the included loading ramp for the Cruiser!
Great video! What kind of drone did you use? And how do you control it over such a long distance? I’m just curious. Thanks for the great views
@@martykrausse thanks! I have a DJI Mavic 2 Zoom. I use a program called Maven for DJI Drones. It lets me program in gps waypoints then the drone will fly it on its own. I use a second person as a spotter to keep the drone in sight and this video is actually two separate flights. Thanks for subscribing!
Can someone share a little bit more about this? Where exactly does this originate from? Canada? Is this for gas o line🤔? Are the pipes going to be above ground? Who authorized this 🤔 Thank you for sharing this ☺️
@@traciemartin2509 it is natural gas. Pipes are placed underground. I believe the company that’s doing it is Atmos which supplies our town with gas for heaters, stoves, etc.
Nice ride. Thanks for sharing and God bless you and yours.
@@user-sr8pn9xg8z I’m trying to teach my wife to ride but she’s a little scared of it. Does your wife ride your etrike?
Awesome bike! I have the 2024 v1 and v2 Freedom. I've had countless hours of fun on these bikes. I'm almost 54 but when I'm on my Freedom, I feel like a kid again. Enjoy! Looking forward to more videos. Liked and subscribed 👍
You’ve got two Freedoms, that’s awesome. Thanks for subscribing. By the way, I can’t get your Facebook link to let me copy and paste it so I can check it out. What is the name of it and I can search for it. Thanks.
Nice! The dam literally is next to my backyard! I ❤️ Texas!
Why did you use the ramp that came with it
Just showing how it could be loaded without the ramp. I now use the ramp 99% of the time. I bought a Wired Cruiser e-bike which is much heavier than the Aventon and using the ramp with it is a must. The ramp makes it so much easier.
Thanks for the ride Jody. We have some Sandy spots here too. It reminds me of riding in snow. Nice ride and God bless you and yours.
@@user-sr8pn9xg8z Thanks Mr. Kent. I know you have sandy spots and ruts that you have to watch out for. God bless you.
My rack on pace 500.3 looks exactly like your rack. I am going to give this a try
Jody, I have the opposite problem. I have the Topeak rack on my bicycle already but I want to slide a non-Topeak bag onto it. I am told there is an adapter plate which is then riveted onto the bottom of your non-Topeak bag. Have you seen one?
@@markmoreno7295 I haven’t heard of one but I found this on Amazon. It might work for you. www.amazon.com/Topeak-Fixer-MTX-Rear-Basket/dp/B000FIAVNS/ref=sr_1_4?crid=198ERHBQ16L7Q&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.2OnB0rbTtmbYgOiEbdq4DPq7n1IFr2JAal4WWuI7mM7DHSpOZ036jeYjGOZPcsGEBdO9uKmDnYldGlv8yVhNZWCMhRHeWMJDwmipwpynnTuyqibDsTqdN6wP6qN3wZ4QMXFOdla7CdtPlyCxRK5QDQtB6s4xDfRPT0ily7UlkPavVTp6x_UneD8vJkZlNiii6vage-Fol3SIF-KaU1uv5lN2UOZAVqS4VQUUFLm9iKPJNRpQ-siJKEVQRJxH8Eq8yoXQY-lSvs3OZX30d3XAFxuEImsUMMPduktqZFZNXGs.I_W7K0-JcaSrvR_XXsoOLyR1IJ8GZcqK9S5J3TasdXs&dib_tag=se&keywords=topeak+fixer+8&qid=1723587422&sprefix=Topeka+fixer+%2Caps%2C140&sr=8-4#customerReviews
@@jodythomas yes that is the one. Thanks. I may try it on a “flatbed” board then add Velcro to my bag, this way I can make the bag work as a standalone bag or one that will attach via Velcro to my flatbed. In an emergency I can choose to rip the bag off the Velcro or unhook it from the slider rack. Thanks.
Thank you Jody, great video clearly explained, you’ve given me several ideas and answers 😊😊
Very interesting. I used to have a Mavic 2 zoom. They are a work horse. Thanks for sharing and God bless you and yours.
Does this rack drop to access tailgate? Very nice neighborhood. What state are you in? Thanks
The rack does not fold down to access tailgate. It does fold out though when not in use. I am in East Texas and thanks for your comment.
What town in east texas is this?
This is Chandler, Tx just west of Tyler.
@jodythomas very familiar with this area have land outside Henderson TX. Nice video
@@michaelmauro9335 thank you. I’ve been to Henderson many times. I was a Ford Rep and visited all the Ford dealers in East Texas. Been retired for about 8 years now.
No longer works this way with the current way they are mounting the rack. You can't put the two screws in, and it isn't stable. I ended up using zip ties at the front end for stability.
Thanks for your comment. Aventon must have changed their rear rack a 2nd time.
@@jodythomas My rack looks just like this. Not sure what he is talking about
Ever seen any alligators in there ?
I hear the f150 clock spring needs to be replaced
Exact same problem on my 2016 f150
That's a lot of new homes. Thank you for sharing and God bless you.

Hi Jody, is there any chance to talk to you about the Young bike rack affiliate program? Please let us know if you are interested.
Sure.
@@jodythomas can you advise your e-mail address so that we can share more info and pictures about the collaboration, thanks!
Good video....I have been looking and I just ordered.
Thank you for your nice comment.
I believe there is a cell tower by it now.
Bought mine via Amazon. Quick shipping.
I have same Young Sole rack with ramp, Aventon Sinch. Step thru. Mature 73...load by self. Must use ramp! Holds securely when driving to trailhead. I use to upright post first.
I started using the ramp too!
I have the same problem with my E Bike. It weighs 85 pounds and I don't want to spend $750.00 for a Hollywood
That was exactly my issue. What is weird is even the really expensive racks sometimes do not offer the capacity we need for a heavy e-bike. I bought a Young Electric Mate R (2-bike) rack after this one and it works great too.
@@jodythomas that’s the one I just bought
I would really like to see you load with the ramp
@@nancymcneill872 I’ve used the ramp many times by myself. The trick is pushing the bike up the ramp while keeping one hand on the handlebar to steer. Sorry I don’t have a video of that though.
My family and I are extremely Proud to be members of this beautiful community! I constantly remind myself how blessed we are!
Well I tree down in my backyard
Thanks for posting this footage. I’m on FM 279 five miles east of Edom. Six trees on my property were uprooted and laid across 279 during this.
Out on 2661 near DQ. Husband literally sucked off patio & thrown toward fence while yelling at me get in closet. He said there was a tornado in air yet news said high winds. Thks for posting this.
Your welcome. Hope your husband is ok. I sent this to KLTV but they never mentioned we had a tornado.
Note: You can see the second tornado forming on the ground clearly at the 0:25 second mark towards the left side of the video. The vortex from the cloud above is not visible.
Looks Ike it’s part of the same rotation. Most like a brief multi vortex tornado. A multi vortex tornado is a single tornado with multiple vortices.
It tried to form it
I live out that way but I wasn't home but when I got home it was bad my neighbor had a tree on her home. Stuff was tossed all in my yard it was bad
It was bad for sure.
That's something to take seriously. Thanks for sharing and God bless.
Good night- Yo, you uploaded breathtaking . )
a good idea to lock the bike also while on the rack. some bike thieves may try to steal your bike while at a stop light.
Great comment. I never thought about it being stolen while I'm at a stop light. I was just going to lock it if I ever left it alone while going in to a store or restaurant.
Nice ride once again Jody. Thanks for sharing, it's pretty cool. God bless.

It sure was.
