Thank you for not assuming that I know anything and that is a compliment. I recently bought the Mavic 3 and some of your colleagues talk really fast and actually think that a tutorial can be successful if they leave out certain parts of the procedure. I don"t care if you're just very patient or just very thorough, but thank you for very clear explanations in your videos.
Nice testing and tutorial on how to use the recently added Point of Interest feature to the Mavic 3 drone. It works very well, and can be a useful tool to many flyers. Thanks for sharing my friend.
Funny, how with mavic 2 series, for example, majority (with some great exceptions, which basically are go to tutorials how to di it) of drone youtubers talk about this options was not that important, gimmicks etc, now they all talk about it just to have some content out there. Personally, i find them biggest asset of the drone, since under right conditions, it can doo perfectly smooth shots, probably better than manual in most times. Poi is definitely one the most important ones and most importantly, all this movements are done in smooth, predictable path, which is vital for good cinematic shots. Skydio does probably better tracking and all that, but it is basically neurotic flying go pro with total unpredictable movements, small sensor (no low light applications or tracking), it is not foldable (since it needs perfectly balanced sensors) and it wiil also crash into small branches in winter or wires as any other drone (a lot of that kind of videos out there). if you're really into comparing this two, but in reality, it is completely different drone, imo. One thing that users keeps forgetting, if we go into officials now, is vlos (which is mandatory in every basic drone regulations) at tracking etc. Officially, if you're tracking your self for example on your bike, car, boat etc, you re asking for trouble in public areas, not to mention risking a lot to have same crash etc, so also general hazard with this kind of use of drones. This i really find hazardous, when seeing people use skydios etc (but it also not that good with other ones) tracking them on e-baords, bikes etc where drone flipps side to side of the road completely randomly. I saw in many videos drone switch to other side directly of incoming car etc. So, please, be careful with this kind of use in public areas, follow the rules, read the manuals (this is all covered there, it is good idea to take a look, also for other stuff, drones are complicated machines and you need to know a lot before flight, to be safe). This is the only way they don't put out even more dramatic drone legislation that already is out there, or even ban the whole thing..
I was doing a low and tight POI around myself the other evening. Maybe 3 meters from me, full speed, whipping around. Walked around and it stuck like it was on a string. Then I moved fast and got too close to the Mavic 3 BOOM. It stopped. Hard. Thinking, that's not so good, I took a step back. Whoosh, off it went again. Repeated this a few times. I love it. Safety first. It really is getting good, and it's early days. On any visual based tracking, the sheer number of calculations happening here is staggering.
Thanks for being not only among the first with these update details and how to’s but also the best at making them interesting and accessible! Keep up the great content!
Thank you for making this video, I’ve been looking on how to do this with my Mavic 3. Your video was very easy to understand how to do it. Thank you again for making this video 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for the video on POI. I like that it track when you are moving your identified point. By the way I have purchased the GPC case for my Mavic 3 Cine once I saw your video and Thanks for the discount code. Every bit helps.
I would wait to do this after the Jan update, this latest firmware update was to appease the angry mob, Jan update should be a little more complete, so would make sense to wait until then
The "3" is MUCH better at re-acquisition of POI and Active Track Targets. One tester went in his shed. Stayed in there a few minutes. It sat there... waiting for him. This is great. And scary, all at once, LOL!!!
Another great video, thanks for all the links and other information. I can't say that I like Master Shots. I did my first today and just don't see a real reason for what it does, especially aiming straight down at nothing. You can't make too many "tutorials" on general and fine points of the Mavic 3.
You may already know this.. but if not.. Did you know that you can hold the function button while in Explorer mode and the scroll wheel works the zoom? Just figured this out yesterday.. :) Didn't see any videos from anyone else talking about it.. so was happy to find it.. if it's not common knowledge... mention it in your next video..
thank you for ur awesome video tutorial, I got I question, how you can record a video at the same time we can hear your voice? what kind of app are you using? my second question is I have a Mavic3 pro does has a tracking option?
Hello, with POI, you can't do it the old way ? Like going above the center, save the point as the center of the orbit and then move to chose the circle diameter ? Thank you
Looks like this my next testing session at the park. Suggestion for an episode - How to fly a Video Grid when the software isn't made for it. We are using Mini 2 and A2S for search and rescue, as well as others, and it's been a challenge to cover an area thoroughly. I've sort of created my own method of flying that does a reasonable job, but would like more consistency, and especially able to reconnect to my last point when I have to change batteries. Hoping Litchi, or ?? will make it more effective.
Thanks a lot for the video and tutorial! 👍 Honestly I do not like the new POI algorithm in Mavic 3 as it follows the shakiness of walk which makes video shaky. Air 2 and Air 2S do not have this flaw and they actual smooth the shakiness of walk. DJI has to put more effort into fixing FW of Mavic 3 to justify its price.
Thank you for all your informational videos. Has DJI announced they will implement and support planned and saved routes based upon waypoints in the Mavic 3?
Hey, Question for you, is there a certain distance that the drone needs to be for the orbit? I am a photographer and people really enjoy 360 photo booths. I wanted to see if it was possible to get the 360 photo-booth effect but using a drone. It’s just simply easier to carry a drone around that a full booth.
When I use POI I’ll use the right joystick to push the drone closer to the subject. When I let go of the joystick for some reason the drone backs away from the subject a little bit, making the video not look as smooth. I never had this issue with the Mavic pro 2. Does anyone know how to fix this with the Mavic 3? Also with the Mavic 3when using the POI and using left joyStick to go up and down the drone is wayyyy more slow going up and down than the Mavic pro 2, making me almost hit trees. Any advice on fixing that too?
Thanks for the great video. Could you please confirm if you are still able to record your point of interest for your orbit in the traditional way of placing your camera face down over the POI and select C1 button to record it??? This is very important for accurate orbits around tall Tower structures like cell towers. Thanks👍
Greetings! @FlyPath I would like to know if, I can use an Android tablet like Realme Pad or Lenovo P11 or Xiaomi Pad can be used as a Monitor instead of a Smartphone for flying DJI Drones such as Mini or Air, but prefer DJI MINI 2 Series.? Great content, learning more and more. Thank you
Its still not what i want to see , can someone please explain to me how to use active track? because if i draw my box around the item it keeps telling me its not allowed in Explore mode how do i get out of explore mode, because i cant figure it out
POI looks good as expected, however the tracking POI is just unusable, which is shame. I swear my Mavic 2 Pro could POI track boats and cars with no problem, I hope DJI put some work into this so it's not the step back it feels like at the moment.
@@FlytPath hmm ok. Just from the beginning the color and clarity seemed next level. Maybe it was just extra good lighting that day...lol. or maybe I'm used to more indoor shots. Whatever it was it was definitely the first thing I noticed. Lol
@@FlytPath i will try it tomorrow. never heard of such a thing. this whole M3pro release is f'n FIASCO if you ask me. i've been in charge of product launches worldwide in the hardware and software world - this is one of the worst i've seen!!!!!
Hi sir,..I'm Staff Sergeant Edgar Migo a member of Philippine Army in the Philippines...I need you help to have DJI MAVIC Air S2..even used drone for my job as Army.....to locate the enemy ...pls it's my pleasure to have 2nd hand or your USE DRONE
the two bad thing about DJI is 1) They bought large stocks of hasselblad which makes them able to controll that company to some degress, which allowed them to mark the Mavic 3 camera as an "hasselblad" when its clearly not. so you pay extra for the drone, its a marketing pr since hasselblad only makes large DSLR cameras and not small things like a drone camera. 2) They are Chinese brand, which means they have to follow Chinese laws. That means the brand can be forced to spy if the military (owned by CCP) tell them to. Which means, the brand is at risk to be blocked in the west.

Great Video. Working on mine right now. I almost crashed when I did my Active Track lol. She ended up hovering 5 inches away from a huge tree lol.
Very cool features that make us novices look like we know what we are doing.
Another feature to explore! Excited for the full version of M3

Great video as always. Can't wait to see your hyper lapse video. Keep up the good work!
Great Video. Can you zoom when in POI? or spotlight or traking? Thank you for the tutorial.
Excellent Test On Point Of Interest For The DJI Mavic 3 Aldryn! I Liked The Straight Down Shot On The Football Field The Best. Thank You.
Same
Great review, your videos are well done and easy to follow and understand. This is not my first drone but I am liking this drone more and more.
Awesome drone!!! More improvements to come for the Mavic 3. It’s just getting started. LOL Thanks for the helpful video!
Informative as always! More to see from the Mavic 3
Outstanding video!!! Your videos are always on point. They provide excellent information. Thanks!!!
🙏
Thanks
Excellent tutorial/review!

@Flypath great video, make sure you change your title to 'Tutorial' as Turtorial sounds like a mix between territorial and turtle.. ;-)
Nice overview..Would be interesting to see how the Obstacle Avoidance performs with the POI.
I am interested too. Obstacle Avoidance is still the Achilles heel here until further firmware updates.
I would wait to do this after the Jan update, this latest firmware update was to appease the angry mob, Jan update should be a little more complete, so would make sense to wait until then
The thing everyone was waiting for... in vain!
Another good video and tutorial Aldryn

Can I set how high I want it to circle around me .

Of course I'm meaning while using the standard controller, not the RC Pro.
thank you for ur awesome video tutorial, I got I question, how you can record a video at the same time we can hear your voice? what kind of app are you using? my second question is I have a Mavic3 pro does has a tracking option?
Good work!
WAITTTTT A MINUTE! You can’t shoot dlog when doing POI or Spotlight? Did I get that correctly?
Yup

Sounds like you want waypoints added which would be awesome
Can you use a pin point instead of drawing a box?
Thank you 😊

Haven’t heard
are you sure when you are doing circle in the DJI Fly it lets you modify height and radius?
If my mind does not fail me, my Mavic 3 does not let me
Damnit!... I need this drone!....😂😂😂
Can you do an obstacle avoidance test
will someone please put a mavic 3 cine camera on a Skydio 2+!! would be the perfect drone!!!!!
you make a case for the Mavic 3?
Can you try this in a crowded area? See if it can loose you and find you again even if there are ppl next to you?
Nice video. I want to get my first drone , for music videos, do you recommend the mavic air2 s or mavic 3 ?
If you can afford it for more professional use, Mavic 3.
My drone keeps backing up on its own during this. Is there a way to stop that?
Is there gps-based POI like it is in a Mavic 2?
How did you add the X on your screen while doing this?

I did not see it hit and will double check. This is key for wide subjects and location which the Mavic 2’pro had.

Definitely needs tuning over time. It does have better recognition when lost tho so that’s a plus.
Does the M3 have histogram and zebra stripes?
Yes

did you get or are you using a new camera?
Same cameras. Which shot r u referring too?

@@carolinaaerialvisuals ya it was near sundown and I think the a7siii was looking crispier than normal
i downloaded the firmware updates and i still dont have access to the active track, POI, spotlight etc. what am i doing wrong?
To activate it put the drone in the air and draw a box around a subject.

The fast spinning POI makes people feel dizzyness and wanted to vomiting~ OMG~ I won't filming like this, never~
Looks like the drone was flying right over a crowd in the soccer field 🤔
Right around them 👍
