5:02 could have explained for android/samsung users, new with this kinda stuff and nearly broke my phone trying to plug this adapter into my phone (Which is not meant for lightning adapters).
As a new pilot who has looked at every 2 Pro UA-cam video so far, yours is heads above anyone else's. I've been afraid to even fly my drone yet, but after your video, I have much more confidence. Very professional. Your videos should be used by DJI on their website. Thanks Ed!
I'm another new pilot (other than messing with Toy drones) that really had no idea on how to fly my newly purchased Mavic 2 Zoom drone, but after watching both Part 1 and Part 2 of your videos (several times over), I am finally up and running. I almost followed them exactly (but I'm still in the "Beginner setting"), constantly stopping the videos to make your recommended setting adjustments! Without these videos, I would have been completely Lost! THANK YOU!!!
Taking a moment to echo the sentiments of other commenters. As the new owner of a Mavic 2 Pro (and first time drone owner / pilot for that matter), your channel has been an incredible resource for me. From pre purchase, to purchase, setup and ultimately first flight, your videos have helped me feel more confident in my choices and helped settle my nerves as to what I should expect. I look forward to more content.
Super professional tutorial. You are 1000 times better on your presentation than any other individual or company posting drone tutorials. Congratulations and thank you for being the “big brother” of any novice drone pilot.
Recently bought a mavic pro platinum and am really glad to have found your videos...I have watched many others and yours seem to be the most complete...as a real newbie to drones this is very helpful...the mavic is my first drone...decided I just wanted to go with the best rather than work my way up...thanks so much for the help...and of course you have one more subscriber...
Wow!! After watching both of your video's on getting started with my new Mavic 2 Pro, what a Pro you are in both delivery, video quality and ease of following your instructions. Thank-you kindly. Regards,
Hi Ed, I am an Australian living in the state of Victoria Australia. So happy to have found your UA-cam sight and subscribe to your channel. You have dedicated your time, ability and energy in helping others to combat their fares of fly drones and getting stated in what is a great hobby and experience. Thank You. Ken.
Awesome walk through. I shared this with my friend. He just bought the mavic 2 pro. I have the zoom for a year now but I watched just for a refresher. Nicely done video. Thanks
Thanks Ed for your videos. Very clear, excellent production: the fact you are using few camera, screen shot and actual drone image makes your tutorial very explicit.
Thank you Ed.. All the way from Papua New Guinea. Your tutorial here just helped me set up our first Mavic 2 Zoom drone.. Thank you so very much. Tomorrow morning it will be lessons from Part Two of your tutorial on how to fly a drone. Thank you once again.
AWESOME VIDEO ! I'm a somewhat experienced Mavic 2 user... (Started in July/2019 and now have a pro AND zoom models ) Your instructions are excellent and I actually sat through most of your instructional videos, learning new tidbits along the way. Thank you!!
I am brand new to this and have just purchased a DJI Mavic 2 Pro. I am so thankful for your thorough and extremely informative video Your explanations are clear and helpful and even the visuals are perfectly right on! I have now subscribed to your channel!
Your step by step guide was straight forward & informative, with the right amount of technical information. I feel confident going to part 2 & getting ready to fly. Possibly the best Mavic 2 Start Up video on UA-cam! Thank You!
Hey Ed, I only got my Mavic2Pro last week, its awesome!. But I have to say thanks for doing this video, and part 2, as they were a perfect help to get me going. I’d get anyone I knew that bought a Mavic to watch this!! Also i enjoy all the videos you put out, thanks again. - Gary
Thanks for the great video! It was not rushed like a lot of videos I see on UA-cam and the way you explained everything made it so easy for a new pilot like me to get setup and start flying! I have a lot to learn so I will subscribe and learn from all that you have to offer!
Thank you, because of your videos I was able to set up my brand new Mavic 2 Pro Zoom, still scared to go far and high though but I was able to go up, down, side to side and land and record videos.
I managed to fix the....MAG INTERFERENCE....error on my own. I took it away from the house in my front yard near a large rock. Finally it went throught calibration, the error message ended, and I was able to calibrate the IMU as well. Opti link is up now and it's ready to fly tomorrow. Yah, thanks to me!!!
Hi Rick, thanks for a brilliant step by step walkthrough. It’s been a while since I set up my MP 1 and I’m getting the MP 2 for Christmas, I can use these 2 tutorials as a double check to make sure I don’t miss anything in my enthusiasm to get airborne. As a side note I was really pleased you clarified where you position the FAA reg details. I’m going to Alaska next year and have registered but found the Dynatape strips keep pealing away from where I had them as I thought they had to be visible. Under the battery is great. Thanks again, take care and catch you later. Peter
Thanks for your video. Very informative. I have the mavic 2 zoom but the settings to deactivate the phone from charging from the control is not listed.
Just now used your vid step by step and I must thank you for being so thorough. I will definitely be reviewing your Part 2. No flying today. I have a MM. it’s a great little bit of tech but the MP2 is definitely more involved. Got to register my drones. Thanks again. I’m subscribed and will be following. Also, do you have favorite settings that you shoot in? Gimbal settings to shoot smoothly? Etc.
Thank you so much for this! I just got my M2 Zoom today and set it all up. Now I gotta go fly it at some point. Probably this weekend haha. Plenty of time watch part 2!
Thanks again for this walkthrough . I have the zoom and only have around an hour or two of flight time. This video and your part 2 made me make sure I have the basics down.
Im hopefully about to upgrade from p3a to mavic 2, i found your vid just the job for pre learning what i need to do when it eventually arrives thanks, now off to watch pt 2.
During the return home mode, will the safety sensors still be working to detect objects to keep from running into? Just incase the height wasn’t high enough. I’m a new sub to the channel. Looking to get this drone. Thx
Hello from 🇺🇸Harrisburg Pennsylvania 🇺🇸 I have both Phantom 4Pro with 5 batteries 🔋 & Mavic Pro with 3 batteries , 🔋 The Mavic Pro I pretty much take everywhere when I’m Jetskiing or riding around on both of my motorcycles 🏍🇺🇸🛵 cause the Mavic pro is small enough to fit inside both of my compartments on my Big Boy Toys ,If I’m not taking my Woman 👩 with me I always take my Phantom 4Pro plus and can put it on my back seat 😎 My question is should I upgrade and get the Mavic Pro 2 with fly more kit $1900.00 or keep what I have ?
Thanks for that; top intro for us beginners. How much footage will the 64gb card give, sufficient for a day or so of video and photographs; also didn't see where the card goes, I imagine it's near the camera. Looking forward to Part Two. Mike in Oz
Great tutorial, I have a question, unboxing for the first time and the antennas on the controller the left side does not rotate forward, any ideas of why? and of course, I don't want to force it.
Hello from 🇺🇸Harrisburg Pennsylvania 🇺🇸 I have a old Mavic Pro & Phantom 4Pro Plus drones should I upgrade to a Mavic Pro 2 or Keep what I have And try to rig up my 📸Go Pro 7 Black 📸To my 1 st generation Mavic Pro drone ? I only shoot videos in 2k my I pad pro can’t handle 4K ,And I do all my editing with my iPad Pro any suggestions or recommendations ? ?
Hello thanks for the detailed video it is very helpful indeed 🙏👍 I wonder though is it mandatory to do an IMU calibration of the drone just out of the box and before the very first flight? Since I was thinking to make only a compass calibration outside the field and only in case I realize any deviations or other abnormalities of the quad then to proceed with IMU calibration at home. The same also for gimbal calibration. What's your opinion about it? Thanks in advance!
I think you're correct, you don't need to update the IMU unless there's something wrong with your aircraft. It should come calibrated normally out of the box. Sometimes I calibrate mine just to be sure, but it shouldn't be required.
@@EdRickerVlogs Thanks for replying sir🙏 So I might try IMU calibration and gimbal calibration if only I notice anything wrong with them after flying the aircraft. But the compass calibration is necessary of course especially for the first time due to the new location after doing that in the factory. Do you believe that the compass calibration affects the IMU though?
For SD cards I recommend a V90 rather than a V30 -- especially if you have a fast camera recoding high-res video. You need a Write speed of approx 100 MB/s - anything slower increases the risk to lose frames in your video recordings.
Pro just came in the mail, interesting enough, the box shows iphone compatibility, does the drone work best with IOS? or will a note 8 suffice? Great videos
Thanks! I use Adobe Premiere Pro to edit. As a recreational flyer you get one pilot # from the FAA that you put on all your recreational drones. As a commercial flyer, each individual drone has a unique # that cannot be traded between drones since they're based on serial numbers.

Hi there, will the iPhone 8 plus work with the Mavic 2 pro?
8 plus best phone for the drone
5:02 could have explained for android/samsung users, new with this kinda stuff and nearly broke my phone trying to plug this adapter into my phone (Which is not meant for lightning adapters).
Ed Ricker awesome videos. I’m a new pilot and learned a ton from part 1 and 2
As a new pilot who has looked at every 2 Pro UA-cam video so far, yours is heads above anyone else's. I've been afraid to even fly my drone yet, but after your video, I have much more confidence. Very professional. Your videos should be used by DJI on their website. Thanks Ed!
Yeah, they really should use his videos. But I see they prefere splitting the information on different videos.

These are the best beginning drone videos on you tube. By far.....
Recently purchased the pro 2 and have watched several videos. Yours was excellent and far more helpful!
You do an excellent excellent job of explaining " Getting Started with the Mavic 2 , You are to the point and not confusing at all Thanks

Exactly what I was looking for. Extremely helpful getting my new M2 set up. Thanks for your time and effort.
Nice lighting in your office and video !
I've watched several videos on the mavi 2 tutorial, urs was the best. Very well demonstrated. Thanks
Thanks for your video. Very informative. I have the mavic 2 zoom but the settings to deactivate the phone from charging from the control is not listed.
Excellent Vlogs, just got a spark will play around with it for a while. Love the Mavic capabilities, can easily see upgrading soon!

Excellent. Thank you very much!
Going detailly so good video thank u so much
Awesome and very helpful. Thanks!
You explained everything perfectly, thanks for sharing.
hi Ed Ricker is it Normal for a Dji Mavic pro 2 Fan too noisy or it could be a fault with the drone ?
Very good hand holding. Just what I need. Thx
THANK YOU! What a phenomenal video. I really appreciate it, it really made setting up my new drone so easy.
Excellent video, one of the best tutorial videos available. Bravo.

great presentation.
Can you tell me where to put the battery charging cable on the controller? I only have 16 hours to register. 🙄Thank you.
Great Info !! Thanks...
This is an awesome video, cannot wait. Just ordered the MP2 today and cannot wait to get at it. Subbed!
For SD cards I recommend a V90 rather than a V30 -- especially if you have a fast camera recoding high-res video.
You need a Write speed of approx 100 MB/s - anything slower increases the risk to lose frames in your video recordings.
Tbh i like the darker grey of the mavic pro.. especially the controller... it looks less plastic
Excellent job keep it up
NICE tutorial and seminar with this Video, KEEP it up
Pro just came in the mail, interesting enough, the box shows iphone compatibility, does the drone work best with IOS? or will a note 8 suffice? Great videos
thanks for the set up info, watching now
Great video dude!
Hi Ed, if you have Android then what do you there?
Tks. Great content.
Great Intro ! Thank you!
Good stuff man. These videos really helped put my MP2 up!
Do you have any recommendations for a third party battery charger that will charge multiple batteries simultaneously?
Awesome info! 2 questions, (1) what video software do you use for processing your videos?, (2) can you use the FAA # from an old drone ? Thanks
Thanks! I use Adobe Premiere Pro to edit.
As a recreational flyer you get one pilot # from the FAA that you put on all your recreational drones. As a commercial flyer, each individual drone has a unique # that cannot be traded between drones since they're based on serial numbers.
