An older drone by todays standards but my dad has had this drone for a little while, and he brought it up for me to use since he barely uses it. A good one to practice on before I decide to get a newer one. Anyway, so excited to go flying at my local park and capture some beautiful sunsets! Thanks for the video!
I have a question about the stickers. I recently bought a platinum and noticed a small red tag on the back of the camera. I see you still left on in the video as well (shown when the camera is moving after turning on the drone). Is that something that should be left there, or is that a sticker than can be removed?
@@headsoftech Awesome. Thanks for the reply. Videos are helpful as always. Your video comparing the mavic platinum to the mavic 2 helped my purchase decision a lot.
Very good presentation. I wish I had found it before unpacking my platinum(my first drone) this week. Hardest part was turning on the controller. lol. I have 2 issues left. The quad only showed up on the pc once, and the video on my S4 Galaxy is choppy. All firmware is up to date.
BMFA liability insurance is only valid if you are flying from a recognised BMFA flying site. Doesn't cover you if you are in a public place such as the beach/park/fields etc.
I'm a First Time Viewer of Your UA-cam Channel. My Initial Impressions are quite Favorable as I Very Much Enjoyed The Location and Program Content of the video. Keep Up The Great Work! :-) gotti
Great video man! Very informative! Like other people have said though, I couldn't believe you launched it from the sand!! Can't be good with getting in motors etc
Cheers mate. Thanks for doing this video. I liked and subscribed. I get my 1st drone (Mavic Pro Platinum) tomorrow in the mail, I'm stoked to say the least. So I'll be checking out more of your videos.
Great review and good instructional. One thing to remember, after the drone has flown, make sure the props do not touch the bottom part of drone. I suggest not touching it either. It's going to be very hot.
Great video and I bought the Mavic Pro Platinum Fly More Combo after watching it. It's my first drone and it's fantastic. The only thing I'm really annoyed about is after buying a Crystalsky monitor to use with it. Not only does the Crystalsky not come with a charger but I also find that the charger that comes with the Platinum Pro won't work with it. It does not have the required plug to connect to the battery charging hub. So, after paying nearly £450 nearly a week ago for my Crystalsky I'm now waiting for a charger for it to arrive. It's a bit like buying a buying a torch without a bulb included. Furthermore I can't find a seller anywhere that points out that the Crystalsky doesn't include a charger or that the Mavic Platinum Pro charger won't work with it at the point of sale. How DJI must assume that I have a charger from a Phantom or Inspire to charge my Crystal sky is unbelievable! Keep up the great work. Thanks :)
I don't know, I'm debating if I want to continue with this hobby, from the ever changing rules and registration and now with them needing to know were our drones are as soon as we click the on button, It has begun to lose its luster one quick question, is insurance required in your neck of the woods
@@headsoftech I agree 100% , nothing would defuse a situation faster than letting the other party know your insured, I just don't want the FAA to decide this for me, I think most owners of $500.+ Drones have common sense to know that flying in a city where odds are greater for costly mistakes. To be honest is it not what all this hub bub is all about, believing we lack self control at airports or around the public parks, but to be really honest I tend to believe it has more to do with the delivery aspect and how they want the open sky to be for it.
eBay, there are individual storefronts that sell one Or two units at a time. They get sick of holding the product and discount it. I will see if I can share with you the seller
Does this Mavix Pro Platinum quadcopter have the Quickshot Circle mode, Quickshot Helix mode, Quickshot Rocket mode and Qucikshot Dronie mode like the DJI Spark Fly More has???
Thanks mate, I get my songs from UA-cam's creator studio - it's free and the other one here was found on Heroboard: ua-cam.com/video/R8hc0CmfKMY/v-deo.html
Just used your video as a reference guide to launch my mavic first flight. It was awesome. Mabe you can answer a question for me? I am getting popup adds while I am in flight mode. Would you know why i am getting these and how i can stop them?
Yeah it's a solid drone, I now own a Mavic Mini and I do like that one too, however the non-Mini is more reliable - better connection and has more sensors. The only thing you need to remember is - don't get carried away, always keep it in sight and don't take risks.
Thank you for the reply. I boght mine today, I will have it in a weak..The size is perfect along with its camera quality. How does the image look at nite? Is it harder to fly at nite? Thanks
Great personality for presenting this drone. You kept it interesting to follow your train of thought. I purchased the Platnium and anxiously waiting its arrival. Thanks for putting this together - excluding the sand launch, fantastic starter guide! Much appreciated.
Thanks mate, I know you've already ordered yours, but there's lots of rumors around a Mavic Pro 2 coming very soon, so if you can hold out a little longer - it might be worth waiting for it - you can always refuse delivery for a refund.
Already flew it... rookie flight though it lived for another day. :) ua-cam.com/video/1xMQ0rzUU28/v-deo.html Your video looks much more vacation like! Haha!
Oh, I did the DJI insure, thanks for the heads up and my "mega" package came with only 1 battery... Still, I think it worked to be a quality price regardless as the additional 175$ USD, fits as one of the better prices.
To be honest, I prefer the quality out of the Platinum because the Mavic 2 seems very soft to me... You do get better colour range out of the Mavic 2, but you may find that some of your subjects are unexpectedly blurry. There's more video reviews on this issue. If you're looking for the best quality, I'd go for the Phantom 4 Pro 2.0 which is also A$100 cheaper than the Mavic 2 Pro RRP.
Great video! Very helpful! How long does the Remote-Aircraft process normally take? Mine remote has been saying "CONNECTING..." for several minutes. Yes, the aircraft is on.
Hey mate, it should just work, you should try following this guide to force relink the controller to the drone: ua-cam.com/video/G52F4hlR4MA/v-deo.html
Great video mate, just bought this package last week. Took off to a nice 4WD spot on the beach (Perth) for New Year’s Eve and got some great footage. Didn’t realise they may be bringing a newer version out since the Platinum has just recently been released... oh well, still a great drone and ideal for 4WD and MountainBiking 👍🏽
Ah man, that sound ace! So glad your first flight went well, are you going to be posting the videos on your channel? If so, can't wait to see them. But, just be careful as you're not meant to fly at night time, unless you have permission. So make sure you don't upload anything that'll get you in trouble.
Not yet, well on UA-cam anyways, I just loaded it onto my Instagram site if you want to take a quick look (69matro) and maybe get a chuckle 😂. Not sure why the video looks crappy on instagram, it looked great on my iPad Pro when edited with IMovie, maybe because I uploaded it in 4K. Thanks for the advice, we took the footage during the day👍🏽 subbed to your channel
Hey just subscribe to your channel, I will be getting the mavic platinum today, lots of good info in your video. How is your drone doing after almost 2 yrs?
Had it repaired once under warranty for free[1], got it stuck up a tree once too[2], but yeah other than that, still going strong. [1] ua-cam.com/video/cTWu8Cy6a-Q/v-deo.html [2] ua-cam.com/video/dWT4dRn5Ssw/v-deo.html
GREAT VIDEO Review! I bought mavic pro platinum, and i am very exited flying with it. :)) on same day i made my first video, and its not so difficult to fly but also man need some skills :))) ALL recomendation !!! Without FLY MORE COMBO pack its not worth it , its must to have. Have u tested filters from Neewer ? Greeting from Cologne
Great Video I was going to get the Mavic Pro for Christmas but decided to wait for the new one hoping for a Jan/18 release date. Your video was just what I needed to get started. Looking to visit Australia Feb 2019 will have to connect and fly together. Cheers Rick from Canada
Thanks mate! Jan/18 is worth waiting for, I remember how I felt gutted when I got my Phantom 4 then a few months later they announced the Mavic Pro, so if you can wait definitely do so. Where about's in Australia are you headed to?
Hey mate, in this video I was using a S7, I've since switched to an S9 and the USB-C connection is much easier to plug the phone into the controller than the micro USB of the S7.
Lame i want to charge all of the batteries at once . They needs to fix this. thanks for the great video my friend. btw you get extra points for not using an Iphone
I've never had a problem calibrating indoors - have you? the DJI Mavic manual (pages 54-55) just states to not do it near strong magnetic interference and that it will warn you if there is.
Hi..just got my mavic today. Im used to flying bebop 2. Kinda worried and anxious to fly the mavic tomorrow. Just how reliable this thing it is? With and without gps? Thanks.
DJI drones are the most stable drones to fly. They really just hover (unless you're in very very windy conditions) and only move on command. Just make sure you take it off sport mode when first starting off. Regarding GPS, I've only ever flown mine in GPS mode - that's the default - never had a problem getting signal or seen the option to fly without it. Let me know how your first flight goes.
I honestly don't know, but if I had to guess judging from their recent product launches for the Phantom 4's Pro/Advanced/Obsidian ranges, I'd say USD$1,399, with a sale on later in the year for Black Friday.
To keep the drone cool during firmware updates, place it on a table in front of a standing fan turned up to its fastest setting. To roll back firmware in case DJI locks you out of third-party waypoint platforms like Litchi, DUMLdore freeware is essential for the Mavic Pro controller firmware rollback procedure, while No limit Drones (NLD) will enable you to double the range at which you get clear feedback from the drone, among other magical powers on offer by NLD.
What firmware version should I stop at if there are issues moving forward? Just did swap today for one....excited about tomorrow. Want to get all my ducks in a row first. Thanks guys.
Hey mate, I personally haven't had any problems flying the drone out in the sea, water damage is covered if you have DJI Care, you just need to make sure to fish the unit out as loss isn't covered.
Still on the fence........waiting for drones to be a little easier.........lots of wasted time with firm updates and calibrations......"ain't nobody got time for dat!".......although might change my mind to get the platinum tomorrow lol
Give it a few weeks bro, the DJI Mavic 2 has been spotted, so might be available soon. That way you'll get a better deal on the current gens or buy the hopefully better drone if you got the extra cash.
Hey bro . Just bought a brand new mavic pro platinum still cannot connect remote command with the drone ( it remains in : try to connect mode). Which might be the problem?! Thank you in advance
Ah mate, congrats on your purchase, you probably figured it out by now, but just in case you haven't. Thing might sound dumb, but two things to check - Is your drone turned on? The green battery lights need to stay on, tap on the battery once then hold the second time in succession, just like you do to turn on the remote. Secondly, in the flap where the SD card is located, is it set to WIFI or RC mode? I put mine in RC and that connects fine with the remote control. In WIFI mode you connect to the drone via the app directly over WIFI. Maybe it's set to the wrong one that you're trying to use? Let me know how you get on, worst case it could simply be a faulty drone.
Vtudio thank you my friend for your quick response . I have done everything as in your video: rc mode the drone switched on, all the config and so on and so forth... the probl is that I reached to take it off but I can only command it through my phone and not through rc
Alright dude, I've never had that happen to me, but I just had a look around and apparently if you contact DJI support they tell you this a set of instructions to get your controller and drone re-paired. 1. Power on the Remote Controller and Aircarft. 2. Press the C1 and C2 buttons on the back of the remote controller and the record button. 3. When the remote controller makes beeping sounds press the shutter button. 4. The remote controller will beep quickly and display binding on screen Source: forum.dji.com/thread-119282-1-1.html Let me know if that does anything?

My hubs bought me a Mavic Pro Platinum should be in tomorrow. I appreciate the video, this will make it much easier to get started.
Excellent, best of luck playing with it. The number one tip is to try your hardest not to get carried away, as that's when accidents happen.
I will remember that, thank you!
Very useful, could you make a video on how to clean the mavic pro platinum?
Just did it as you sad . It’s all good. Finally up and running. Thank you very much. That was driving me crazy. Valuable recommendation.
Nice one, glad it worked mate
Hair dryer and drone in the house comparison was hilarious :D hahaha
Glad you liked it mate
can u use the app without mobiledata
Thanks for the video. Mine arrived a day ago and I’m a little nervous to fly it. Your video has given me hope.
Best of luck mate
I have a question about the stickers. I recently bought a platinum and noticed a small red tag on the back of the camera. I see you still left on in the video as well (shown when the camera is moving after turning on the drone). Is that something that should be left there, or is that a sticker than can be removed?
Hey mate, I removed all the stickers including that one and it's been A-ok.

BMFA liability insurance is only valid if you are flying from a recognised BMFA flying site. Doesn't cover you if you are in a public place such as the beach/park/fields etc.
"No, completely incorrect, the insurance provides cover worldwide for lawful recognised activity."[1]

can the "shutdown" combination on the remote control be deactivated?

Great video man! Very informative! Like other people have said though, I couldn't believe you launched it from the sand!! Can't be good with getting in motors etc
Thanks mate, what can I say, I got excited. Nowadays, I use the hand launch/catch method.
Can you add captions?Thank you a lot!
How can i conect my samsung s10plus? Is it compatible ?
Should be yeah, I use my Note10+ with my Mavic Mini - the controller is a tight squeeze, but the USB-C connection works well.
I think I need Wi-Fi on my phone to be able to fly it to the Platinum
Cheers mate. Thanks for doing this video. I liked and subscribed. I get my 1st drone (Mavic Pro Platinum) tomorrow in the mail, I'm stoked to say the least. So I'll be checking out more of your videos.

Tonight I will fly in Indooroopilly
Congrats mate, excited to see your footage.
Review is from a year ago, but im still tempted to get one because dont want to be spending more than $1000 on my first drone.
Question? Are you supposed to remove the red tab on camera/gimbal? Thanks

Thanks for this video. I will probably use it when I get my own mavic pro platinum in a few days. The price dropped when the pro 2 came out.
Congrats on the deal mate!
Thanks.
The Platinum is still darn good and half the price of the 2. $699 one year later
Totally agree mate
Where did you find a platinum for 699?
I got lucky on my platinum.Found it on eBay for 500 it's faultless.
And came with probably a thousand dollars worth of accessories
Brilliant run through thanks
Would you guys recommend this Drown for a beginner? I noticed the cheaper ones are much harder to use..
Yeah it's a solid drone, I now own a Mavic Mini and I do like that one too, however the non-Mini is more reliable - better connection and has more sensors. The only thing you need to remember is - don't get carried away, always keep it in sight and don't take risks.

Glad you found it useful mate, I haven't tried a Parrot before, so let me know how it compares if you do upgrade.

Glad to hear it mate
Nice video! Hey, would you recommend a Mavic Pro Platinum in 2019?
Hey mate, if you're comparing the price set by dji.com, then hell yeah, it's A$1,000 cheaper than the Mavic 2 Pro so definitely.
@@headsoftech Thanks, i have a wedding filming business. Would i lose much on video quality?
To be honest, I prefer the quality out of the Platinum because the Mavic 2 seems very soft to me... You do get better colour range out of the Mavic 2, but you may find that some of your subjects are unexpectedly blurry. There's more video reviews on this issue. If you're looking for the best quality, I'd go for the Phantom 4 Pro 2.0 which is also A$100 cheaper than the Mavic 2 Pro RRP.
Really great video thanks

I will be airborne soon fingers crossed

12:30 ding dong 😍, errr landing on sand! And the antennas were positioned wrong on your controller, soz.
Btw, living in Aus, well jealous 😎
Learned a lot watching this. Thanks . I will for sure be sure not to do that joystick thing when in the air.
I also kept the clear covering over the camera on.

If you can wait until the 23rd of January, apparently DJI are doing an announcement and the Mavic 2 is rumoured to be announced then.

Must-see guide for mavic pro
Thanks for the comment mate
Version 2.0s are usually nicer ......platinum could be good enough until the mavic 2 goes thru it's issues which everything new has
Great point, still worth waiting until Mavic 2 comes though as these puppies will go on sale.
So why are you blurring the inside of the drone ?? Good video informative. Wow fast reply.
Just blurred out the serial numbers to avoid any potential insurance fraud.
Forgot part 107
I just got one, and live on the Gold Coast as well. Perhaps we could meet at the Gold Coast Film Makers Guild in Helensvale. Find us on Meetup.
Thanks for the tip, will have to check it out
I have a question... are they going to release a Mavic pro 2?
Yes, very soon, so wait if you can.
Vtudio by your knowledge how much do you think it will cost
I honestly don't know, but if I had to guess judging from their recent product launches for the Phantom 4's Pro/Advanced/Obsidian ranges, I'd say USD$1,399, with a sale on later in the year for Black Friday.

Because I didn't have a tarboosh at hand.
No one talked about using these drones near salt water and care for them?
Hey mate, I personally haven't had any problems flying the drone out in the sea, water damage is covered if you have DJI Care, you just need to make sure to fish the unit out as loss isn't covered.
Thanks for subscribing I have a mavic pro and it is so cool
You need to invest in A mic sock !
Still on the fence........waiting for drones to be a little easier.........lots of wasted time with firm updates and calibrations......"ain't nobody got time for dat!".......although might change my mind to get the platinum tomorrow lol
Give it a few weeks bro, the DJI Mavic 2 has been spotted, so might be available soon. That way you'll get a better deal on the current gens or buy the hopefully better drone if you got the extra cash.
Hey bro . Just bought a brand new mavic pro platinum still cannot connect remote command with the drone ( it remains in : try to connect mode). Which might be the problem?! Thank you in advance
Ah mate, congrats on your purchase, you probably figured it out by now, but just in case you haven't. Thing might sound dumb, but two things to check - Is your drone turned on? The green battery lights need to stay on, tap on the battery once then hold the second time in succession, just like you do to turn on the remote.
Secondly, in the flap where the SD card is located, is it set to WIFI or RC mode? I put mine in RC and that connects fine with the remote control. In WIFI mode you connect to the drone via the app directly over WIFI. Maybe it's set to the wrong one that you're trying to use?
Let me know how you get on, worst case it could simply be a faulty drone.
Vtudio thank you my friend for your quick response . I have done everything as in your video: rc mode the drone switched on, all the config and so on and so forth... the probl is that I reached to take it off but I can only command it through my phone and not through rc
Another stupid question, is your RC turned on? It should say connecting... and not battery?
Vtudio no it’s not stupid question. It’s turned on and it has 100ptc battery.
On screen it goes : connecting... and remains as it is!!!
Alright dude, I've never had that happen to me, but I just had a look around and apparently if you contact DJI support they tell you this a set of instructions to get your controller and drone re-paired.
1. Power on the Remote Controller and Aircarft.
2. Press the C1 and C2 buttons on the back of the remote controller and the record button.
3. When the remote controller makes beeping sounds press the shutter button.
4. The remote controller will beep quickly and display binding on screen

Let me know if that does anything?
Great video👍🏽
Insurance in case you crash into a building and cause a big fire. Its not a gas fueled airplane.
6:30... that lock screen tho
Isn’t take off sand bad for the drone ?
I personally haven't had any troubles with it, but I haven't done it often and now I tend to launch it by hand instead when at the beach.
totally wrong, the motor will sufer the bearing will be detroy over time, that is a big no no.
The DJI Go4 doesn't exist anymore
Great video
