QUESTION : Can you show how to make the gimbal to move more slowly??? I have the spark and if you adjust it to almost 1-2 the movement is very slow. Can you tell me how to do it with the Mavic air 2 because you didn't mentioned thanks
My new Mavic Air 2 is only 1 day old. This is my first drone and just want to thank you for how immensely useful your efforts have been for me - awesome job, thanks!
Just bought my air 2 today. Had some settings questions. Came to UA-cam, typed in what I was looking for and your video was perfect. Answered all my questions plus additional info. Great video. Thank you.
Absolutely first class review and tutorial. I have had my Air 2 for a few days, now, and already picked up some setting tips from your clip. Thanks for posting. Great job! 👍 😎 Cheers, out of New Zealand.
Just purchased the Mavic Air 2! I'm so excited. Can't wait to get this bird in the air. I've been flying the Mavic Mini for the past year and LOVE IT! Looking to up my game, and this guy is just what I need. Thanks for the informative video as always:)
Bought mine on Sunday. Coming from the Spark is such a huuuuge jump in the app and the quality. Gonna have so much fun with this thing. Thanks for the insightful tips!
Excellent! Very quick, very clear and almost complete. Do you explain elsewhere (but in the same way) hyperlapse settings, the use of ND filters and HDR? I am a late comer: Just bought a second hand AIR 2 from a DJI store in Italy.
thanks for taking the time to do the video ! what are the orange highlights that show up in the video feed? you have some right at the very bottom edge, and some at the top of the screen.
Billy, thx. Can you go over the other setting s on the camera tab/menu while in flight too? Example, while in quickshots... You can change between 1080HD, 2.7k, and 4k. I am sure there are more setting s while in flight for each item like camera, video, hypelapse etc.
Great video Billy! Just got mine yesterday and have been reading the manual and with this video and the manual, I'm getting a good lesson on how to operate it. Well done!
Hi . Thanks for your explanations. Very Helpful . I would like to know about the Stitching capability that this drone offers when taking more than one picture with the surroundings . Do you know something about that ? Thanks you
Nice job. I personally like to leave the cache video on just in case you have a situation where you may need to review the video for a emergency landing or sometime where you are unsure about where the drone may be. Its a great drone Im happy with it!!
You are awesome. Just the way you speak. Like a journalist 😁Thanks for all your time and effort to inform us. Just received my mavic air 2 like 5 minutes ago. YESSSSS
What a great video! I wish I had seen it a few months ago before I started flying my drone. What I want to know is whether there is a way to get the elevation to show on the videos you take with the drone? That's something I'd like to see while watching my videos.
Omg thank you so much!!! Right to the point and clear english. Ive watched a few videos that took like 15mins just to even get to 1 setting. 😂 thank uuuuuu
I'm a genuine greenhorn when it comes to drones. Got myself the MA2 a few days ago, still mostly kinda shaky so the review you did is absolutely awesome and helps me a lot. Went at least five times through it and probably will do a few more. Thanks man, cheers 🍻
I use a custom layout. Left stick does foward, back and strafing. Right stick does elevation and turning. I find this a lot easier for my brain to comprehend as it's not too disimlilar from the controls in games.
Man I should have had the balls to do the same in the beginning, that would have felt so much more natural. I was afraid I will brake something, as it is my first drone ever. And yes, I play a lot of playstation too haha. I have been flying with the mode 2 now for several days, maybe I will give it a go with the custom and it is not too late to change.
Great video Billy...there is one more screen in the camera section that shows video settings (not photos) that shows up when. The app is in video mode. I want to know what file type to use for videos...H264 or 265??
I have been following you from when you started.... You have really honed your media skills. It was a pleasure to watch, and having just got my MA2 , you covered ALL my questions! Thank you, keep up the good work.
Hi Billy, enjoy your videos. Can you provide me additional information regarding icon at bottom middle of screen (drone orientation)? Is Calibration required? Sometimes goes red (meaning what, lost signal)? Thank you for any information you can provide.
Billy, I really like your videos. I'm a new drone operator and I have gotten invaluable info from this video in particular.. I do have a question. In this video and all the others I've watch everyone mentioned the feature in the bottom center of the screen. It looks like a half circle with a small triangle icon that moves around according to the position of the drone to the controller. I think you referred to is as the orientation display. It always on the videos I watch but hit doesn't display on my and I cannot figure out where to turn it on. Could you tell me how to get this function to display? I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!
I have the Mavic Air 2 and sometimes get a red icon at middle bottom of my screen, (remote to drone orientation). It goes away pretty quickly and I have not been able to read it. I am wondering if it has to do with loss of signal. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.
Billy, I just bought a new DJI Mavic Air 2 but have not set it up, how do I make sure that I have all of the updates for my drone? Where do I look and how do I update (drone and/or controller). Thanks in advance!
OK the Manual exposure versus Automatic exposure is clear. I cannot however work out what is happening when I press the AE Lock. I can still select between Auto and Manual and the auto is still changing the exposure - Please can you explain what the lock does? Thanks. Great video for a newbie by the way.
Thank you for this helpful tutorial. Pity though you're not talking about video settings. I've been looking at several youtubers who are talking about choosing D-cinelike. The problem I seem to be having is I don't have the option in the Flyapp to choose between Normal and D-cinelike, D-cinelike just isn't there for some reason. Do you happen to know why? Something I've done wrong or overlooked in the settings?
is it correct that the orange "line" in the lower part of the live transmission screen is a hint that there is an obstacle in front of the cam? Could above, too, when there is something front?!
Hey Billy great video. Just wanted to let you know that the last thing on the page with rc identification says apply, and when you click on that it saves your changes.
ma2 normal to experience lagging?during recording,,delayed for few second..pretty annoying..i'm using iphone7plus..or becoz of my sd card?no issue with mavic pro back then
I have an question, coulnd't find it online. My 1st drone the mavic pro 2. In the quickshots (in for example "circle") I was able to change the radius.hight, gimball and altitude. Do the air 2 or the mini 2 have the same options?
Does anyone know where the Orientation setting is? Billy is talking about it around 4:50 seconds but I don't have it on my screen and can't find where to turn it on or off.
Great tutorial, I have a couple of queries. 1: how do you change the user account on the Fly app? 2: we will be using this to make videos of rescue dogs, we are planning on using the auto follow mode on the dog of interest. Do you have any suggestions, thoughts, ideas? Thank you
Does that mean still no controller settings to adjust expo, rates, gimbal speed. Seems like it would be impossible to get smooth footage without using a smart mode. Is tripod enough? Personally I loved a slow gimbal pitch with braking for silky footage. How are you handling that Billy, seem like big features are missing.
Billy, I have looked on google app store and do not see this fly app. Did you use the app on the dji mavic air 2 download page or am I missing something?
Very good Billy. I was curious about the details of the Fly app. I’m still undecided about the drone. Waiting for it to be compatible with the smart controller which should happen soon. The app seems very limited in terms of gimbal sensitivity, and control stick sensitivity. Those could be dealbreakers for me.
Just got my MA2 yesterday and i had cached video turned on and i did see a lack on my iPhone X. Ill be turning that off, thanks for the tip. I was thinking if i'm capturing the video and was to lose the drone the video would be able to help me find it better if the battery dies before im able to locate it with FIND MY DRONE. On further thought i dont plan on ever losing LOS with the drone but you never know if your over woods or in a rough terrain.
Are there settings that need to be adjusted for the range? Just got mine couple days ago and every time it gets more than 1500 feet away says “weak signal”
Hey Billy, i am sure my mavic air 2 is too fast in tripod mode. Do you agree that the drone does not go at a crawl speed in that mode. I find it harder to capture cinematic shots. Do you know of a setting that brings the speed down, or will it be a firmware update issue. I noticed this on my first flight out the box, and the issue remains to this day. Thanks.
The phone charging option is no longer available for me. I did see it when I got my air 2 in January. Maybe it was an update? Do you still have that option?
I can’t see the battery icon most of the time. Just the bit about tapping on that to get more info was great. Thanks. ETA: knowing that the native aspect ratio of the sensor is 4:3 is important.
Hi, I'm pretty new to drones and would like to know how to get longer recordings on my sd card, its a 128gb card but only records upto 3.5gb before ending and then starting to record again. Great video BTW thanks.
I use mode 3. no need to confuse my video game controls which ive used my entire life with my drone controls. thought it might help me fly more naturally.
Hi Billy.....are you using an iphone or an android? I ask, because I'm using a Sam S10+, and the phone charge option under the control heading does not exist!!! Do you have any info on this? Could my phone automatically be charging since it has the "touch" or "contact" charging capability? Thanks for any help you have.
At 12:52 you show a slider with which you can choose whether to switch the "Phone Charging" on or off. I don't have that choice. and At 14:08 you show 3 options for the Function key, I only have 2 I have RC firmware 01.00.0108 on Android Why this difference?
Hi Billy, I've recently been having problems with the fly app and air2, motorola G10 phone. I tried 1.4.8 beta and the screen was freezing randomly. The drone will continue to record and behave normally but the app stops working. I've rolled back to 1.4.4 (1072-official) and the problem has gone. What version of the fly app do you find works best for you with the Air2 ? Cheers, Mick.
QUESTION : Can you show how to make the gimbal to move more slowly??? I have the spark and if you adjust it to almost 1-2 the movement is very slow. Can you tell me how to do it with the Mavic air 2 because you didn't mentioned thanks
Awsome very interesting and very straight forward in guidance thank you billy
one of the best in-depth video about Mavic Air 2.. especially about the features/menu.. good job

Nice job saved to watch a few times more
Hi Billy Got my Mavic Air 2 this morning . Super helpful video , thanks a lot . Greetings from Thailand and stay safe
Thanks Billy for helping those of us just getting started! Great video !
Excellent! Very quick, very clear and almost complete. Do you explain elsewhere (but in the same way) hyperlapse settings, the use of ND filters and HDR? I am a late comer: Just bought a second hand AIR 2 from a DJI store in Italy.

Hi . Thanks for your explanations. Very Helpful . I would like to know about the Stitching capability that this drone offers when taking more than one picture with the surroundings . Do you know something about that ? Thanks you
1:00 does Tripod mode same as the Cinemode that is shown on my Mavic Air 2's controller?
Very useful! I was looking for a video like this!
Nice job. I personally like to leave the cache video on just in case you have a situation where you may need to review the video for a emergency landing or sometime where you are unsure about where the drone may be. Its a great drone Im happy with it!!
You are awesome. Just the way you speak. Like a journalist 😁Thanks for all your time and effort to inform us. Just received my mavic air 2 like 5 minutes ago. YESSSSS
What was the wait time? Just ordered mine!
A lot of info packed into
What a great video! I wish I had seen it a few months ago before I started flying my drone. What I want to know is whether there is a way to get the elevation to show on the videos you take with the drone? That's something I'd like to see while watching my videos.
Good job. Still no gimbal speed and stop settings. Wonder if they soften when in Tripod mode?
Great information as usual Billy! 👍👍
Omg thank you so much!!! Right to the point and clear english. Ive watched a few videos that took like 15mins just to even get to 1 setting. 😂 thank uuuuuu
TY for the tips, Billy. I changed a couple to match yours and understand it better now. Fly safe.
I'm a genuine greenhorn when it comes to drones. Got myself the MA2 a few days ago, still mostly kinda shaky so the review you did is absolutely awesome and helps me a lot. Went at least five times through it and probably will do a few more.
Thanks man, cheers 🍻
I use a custom layout. Left stick does foward, back and strafing. Right stick does elevation and turning. I find this a lot easier for my brain to comprehend as it's not too disimlilar from the controls in games.
Bamxcore And inverted on the right for me of course. 😏
Man I should have had the balls to do the same in the beginning, that would have felt so much more natural. I was afraid I will brake something, as it is my first drone ever. And yes, I play a lot of playstation too haha. I have been flying with the mode 2 now for several days, maybe I will give it a go with the custom and it is not too late to change.
My Mavic arrives tomorrow but I haven't seen on any vids where you put in the SD card? Great vid!!
thanks just go my air 2 and was looking for this exactly. well done
Great Tutorial Billy, no surprise there. Keep up the good work dude.
Great video. Thanks for the info. You showed the camera settings for photo, but not for video, quickshot and hyperlapse. Will that be a later video?
Nice job with video and information!
Great video Billy...there is one more screen in the camera section that shows video settings (not photos) that shows up when. The app is in video mode. I want to know what file type to use for videos...H264 or 265??
Question. How do you get the orientation icon at the bottom and extended camera menu to see the zoom features.
I have been following you from when you started.... You have really honed your media skills. It was a pleasure to watch, and having just got my MA2 , you covered ALL my questions! Thank you, keep up the good work.
You smashed it with this rkid you’ve helped me a lot 👍🏼
Hi Billy, enjoy your videos. Can you provide me additional information regarding icon at bottom middle of screen (drone orientation)? Is Calibration required? Sometimes goes red (meaning what, lost signal)? Thank you for any information you can provide.
Another great video, I’m a new air 2 owner, I am blown away by this thing.
Me too

I have the Mavic Air 2 and sometimes get a red icon at middle bottom of my screen, (remote to drone orientation). It goes away pretty quickly and I have not been able to read it. I am wondering if it has to do with loss of signal. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.
If you walk away from the spot you launched the drone it will ask you if you want to mark a new home location.
Billy, I just bought a new DJI Mavic Air 2 but have not set it up, how do I make sure that I have all of the updates for my drone?
Where do I look and how do I update (drone and/or controller).
Thanks in advance!
Awesome video. Thanks. It is very informative.
New drone user here. Love your channel and content! Keep up the great work, bro.
Whether someone is an experienced pilot or first time flyer your videos always offer helpful info. Bravo, Billy. Happy flying 😷👍👍
OK the Manual exposure versus Automatic exposure is clear. I cannot however work out what is happening when I press the AE Lock. I can still select between Auto and Manual and the auto is still changing the exposure - Please can you explain what the lock does? Thanks. Great video for a newbie by the way.
I've had my MVA2 now for a couple of weeks and this video has helped answer quite a few questions for me! Thanks Bro.
I can´t wait my Mavic Air 2 arrive, nice
explains!
just bought the Air 2 yesterday. thanks for the tips!

Something I've done wrong or overlooked in the settings?
Thanks for the video. How long does it take to write the 48mp Raw files to sd card?
Great job explaining literally everything. Now I must subscribe and get your notifications!!
is it correct that the orange "line" in the lower part of the live transmission screen is a hint that there is an obstacle in front of the cam? Could above, too, when there is something front?!
there's no top sensors on the mavic air 2, so it is an obstacle in the front.
This is my 1st drone and this is very helpful. Great work👍
Is there a way to select a speed for the gimble upward pan??
Hey Billy great video. Just wanted to let you know that the last thing on the page with rc identification says apply, and when you click on that it saves your changes.
With emergency prop stop, if the drone is free falling, can it be re-engaged mid fall?
depends how high you are and how fast you are ;)
ma2 normal to experience lagging?during recording,,delayed for few second..pretty annoying..i'm using iphone7plus..or becoz of my sd card?no issue with mavic pro back then
I have an question, coulnd't find it online. My 1st drone the mavic pro 2. In the quickshots (in for example "circle") I was able to change the radius.hight, gimball and altitude. Do the air 2 or the mini 2 have the same options?
Getting mine today and this review is awesome. Thanks!!
Billy, very thorough and informative.
"Like you allways are", You are the best at tutorials. Mike in N.C.
Peace✌✌
your usual good video...so many thanks
Does anyone know where the Orientation setting is? Billy is talking about it around 4:50 seconds but I don't have it on my screen and can't find where to turn it on or off.
are the setting different for different phones? I have a Note 8 phone and the option to turn on and off the phone charge is not available on mine.
DJI just updated their app, please make another video, love your videos
Hi just wondering under control menu what does Re-pair to aircraft (link) mean?
Great tutorial, I have a couple of queries. 1: how do you change the user account on the Fly app? 2: we will be using this to make videos of rescue dogs, we are planning on using the auto follow mode on the dog of interest. Do you have any suggestions, thoughts, ideas?

Personally I loved a slow gimbal pitch with braking for silky footage. How are you handling that Billy, seem like big features are missing.
so no gimbal custom modes and has anyone found sd card recording time left
Thanks Billy another very useful tutorial.
Billy, I have looked on google app store and do not see this fly app. Did you use the app on the dji mavic air 2 download page or am I missing something?
Great video billy very helpful.

The app seems very limited in terms of gimbal sensitivity, and control stick sensitivity. Those could be dealbreakers for me.
The drone itself is awesome but wish they used the go 4 app for it
Just got my MA2 yesterday and i had cached video turned on and i did see a lack on my iPhone X. Ill be turning that off, thanks for the tip. I was thinking if i'm capturing the video and was to lose the drone the video would be able to help me find it better if the battery dies before im able to locate it with FIND MY DRONE.

Great detailed video
Great video, Billy. That was the one I have been waiting for. It should be on DJI's website . . .
Very helpful as usual...Thanks!
Excellent explanation, Billy. Thx

Hi, I'm pretty new to drones and would like to know how to get longer recordings on my sd card, its a 128gb card but only records upto 3.5gb before ending and then starting to record again.
Great video BTW thanks.
Hi Billy, is there a setting to adjust the speed and smoothness of both the drone and gimbal? I was able to adjust this on previous drones.
@Daytona 6263 Clearly, you don't know what adjusting means.
Hey Billy I have a quick question can we charge mavic air 2 batteries with power bank?
can the dji mavic air 2 stock controller be used to control the newer dji air 2s. Any comment is greatly appreciated. thanks in advance.
I use mode 3. no need to confuse my video game controls which ive used my entire life with my drone controls. thought it might help me fly more naturally.
hi billy im a first time flyer what is the best app to use
Hi Billy.....are you using an iphone or an android? I ask, because I'm using a Sam S10+, and the phone charge option under the control heading does not exist!!! Do you have any info on this? Could my phone automatically be charging since it has the "touch" or "contact" charging capability? Thanks for any help you have.
great review, on android devices not working toggle map, unable to switch map and camera view , android version 9
Weird question! i heard about drones getting hacked in the air and suddenly take off and being stolen like that. Any info or thoughts on that?
What?
At 12:52 you show a slider with which you can choose whether to switch the "Phone Charging" on or off. I don't have that choice.
and
At 14:08 you show 3 options for the Function key, I only have 2
I have RC firmware 01.00.0108 on Android
Why this difference?
Excellent. I learned a lot.
Hi Billy, I've recently been having problems with the fly app and air2, motorola G10 phone. I tried 1.4.8 beta and the screen was freezing randomly. The drone will continue to record and behave normally but the app stops working. I've rolled back to 1.4.4 (1072-official) and the problem has gone. What version of the fly app do you find works best for you with the Air2 ?
Cheers, Mick.
Only thing I wish that DJI would've done was to set a manual alarm of a battery power threshold.
Thank you for putting this video together! Can't wait to use it on a tennis court :)
