Ed Ricker Vlogs how often do you have to do the IMU calibration?
Aharonityroni S I do it probably once a week or so, whenever I've been traveling with the drone in the bag a lot and it's been jostled around. thanks!
Ed Ricker Vlogs your videos are helping me a lot I just got my mavic a few days ago and before this one I had a phantom 2 I hope to make videos in the future. Aaron, from Israel
Ed Ricker Vlogs www.indiegogo.com/ search MSD Band Memory Storage Data Band for your drones sd memory cards come join us!
Mine does not switch to gps and ready to go what am I doing wrong (just got mine today) thx
Ed, I am an old guy that uses sticky notes for memory. I only fly my Mavic Pro every three or four months. I have this video book marked and use it as a refresher every time I fly. Thank you. Please don't take this one down, ever.

You older now?

Do they not blow off?
Great tutorial, just got my Mavic yesterday. I was kinda nervous and excited at the same time but with tutorials like this there should be no problems. Keep up the great work.
I just got a Mavic Pro and after watching hours of videos I found these. You are the best. You lay out all the information in order and in depth but plain spoken. I got more from your videos than any other videos and the manual at DJI. Thanks for doing this!
I may be the only 61 year old woman who just had to have the Mavic Pro sooo thanks you for helping me figure out this wonderful tool, Im not great with technology but I am determined to learn
I’m 62 and just got one and I am going to learn just like you
Mmmmm Im 65 can I learn ?
I'm 68 can i learn to
I'm 84 and so iwill
Im 699 years old yes u read that right snd i have got 1 BOIIIIII
I build water features and am starting my UA-cam channel. I love your video editing, the informative content, and the tips.
You were my first video I liked on the mavic. Thanks for producing this video.
-Carl
Man, this is the best and most understandable info out there. I appreciate your effort and expertise.
I really appreciate you taking the time to put this video tutorial together. Its nice being able to skip all of the beginner mistakes. Keep up the great work.
Really great video. I just received my mavic Pro today. However I've watched many other UA-cam videos. I always find that most people waste time running at the mouth and patting themselves on the back. You are very efficient and you get the point across quickly without a lotta crap. A lot of information in a short amount of time and that's what I like in any UA-cam video.
Thank you! Just picked up the DJI Mavic Pro and this video was super helpful!
Super helpful Ed! you got me into the air today to get some awesome shots of my friends rock climbing boulders in a remote wilderness area!
I buying one for myself for Christmas after doing two days of drone research. The Mavic caught my eye when it first came out. I’ve looked at many other drones but this video cemented my decision to go for the Mavic. Thanks for the great video
I purchased the DJI last week I went through the manual over 6 times and could not get the drone to work properly. I ran into your video and watched it just once and got the drone to work 100% fine. I wrote a letter to the manufacture telling them they better be paying you for your time and work. Thank you VERY much !!!!
New Mavic Pro owner here and thank you! Made starting out much easier. Day 2 now and looking forward to learning more
Really good description man! This was helpful.
Yes I thought this too!
Very informative. I have had my Mavic Pro for a few months, but had to put it on the shelf for other priorities. Having to relearn the basics on vacation, I found this tutorial. As he says in the beginning, I wished I had known these tips when I first pulled it out of the box. The new (to me) world of drones can be overwhelming, and the DJI tutorials and guides leave a lot out for the beginner.
This video was super helpful and informative. I had my first flight with the Mavic Pro this past Sunday, and your video went a long way to make the process easier and more streamlined.
I look forward to more excellent content. Thank you!
This vid was a HUGE help getting all the necessary set-up finished. I was soooooooooooo temped to hit "GO" when I got a GPS lock in my apartment, but I didn't give in! It's night and 10 below in Massachusetts right now, so the maiden voyage is on hold.
Thanks for the video man. I just got my Mavic today!!! Awesome!
Great stuff. I just purchased the same one and I am excited to have it delivered TOMORROW.
Thanks for the fantastic video.
I would have to say that this has to be one of the most informative videos out there. Straight to the point.
Thank you Ed for your tutorial. I'm going to attempt my first flight test off your instructions. Thank you for a clear instruction video. Appreciate your time.
Great tips! Just picked up a Platinum today from FBMP
Very informative and spot-on.
I've watched so many drone "hands-on" videos
but instead of providing real information
most of them choose to be funny and waste your time.
Well done Ed, much appreciated.
Just bought it today am going to pick it up when they tell me its ready. Great video. Thank you so much for such great detail.
The antennas clip together to lock in place. You have to slide them together to get to work, its a little tricky at first.
great vid BTW!
I bought a platinum pro Mavic and was so afraid to fly it, but this video has helped me so much!! Thank you!
Me too: it's a bit daunting at the outset, but Ed really does a nice job with orientation and explanation.
Absolutely the BEST Mavic Pro Beginner's Guide I have found. I deeply appreciate the effort and time you put into this and subbed immediately. again, thank you!
Thanks for taking the time to make your Vids Ed, they have helped us a great deal. 👍
Thanks for the tutorial, it saved me a ton of time trying to read the tiny book that came with my Mavic.
Pro tip: download all the manual PDFs from www.DJI.com - especially the Mavic Pro User Guide, which was not included in my brand new Mavic Pro I bought a month ago, and it contains a LOT more info than all the little printed booklets inside the Mavic box.
That User Manual REALLY should have been included in the box, since there’s SO many features and settings and options and things to be aware of. Even after 45 Flights in 1.5 months with my Spark and Mavic Pro, I am still learning important new things all the time.
(For instance: the DJI GO 4 app video settings default to 50hz for AntiFlicker, which only makes sense for Europe, and seems to result in weird flickering watching the videos on my HDTV. Anyone in USA should change that setting to 60Hz, I’m 99% sure. (Please comment if you have a definitive answer.)
Unboxed: Dec 21, 2017
I didn't know you were a time traveler o.O
Why no videos of that?
Ryulien haha that's a secret, no tutorials for that
Did i was the only one to go check the calender? xD HAHahah
Lp Lp same 😂😂
Ryulien 😂👍
back to the future IV
I am 127 years old and in watching your video I can confidently say I am now microwaving popcorn with absolutely zero burning and few unpopped kernels. Thank you and I look forward to more of your videos, young man.
Great job!
Dude, you rock. This is, without question, the best resource I have found so far.
Great video thank you.
GREAT VIDEO! I wish I had an instructor with your skills when I was in my instrument flight phase of Army flight training years ago. You set the standard for instruction! Salute!
I will buy my Mavic Pro through your store link.
Thank you for watching, I appreciate it!
Wow, most helpful video I've ever seen! I just got a MPro and am excited to get it set up for the first time following your methods!
Thanks alot Ed for a really thorough and helpful video. I spent over an hour, making a detailed outline as a preflight checklist to always have with me in the kitbag. Great job!
Thank you for teaching people!
im liking the DJI ty for the review i believe im going for it
Great! Consider using my purchase link to order: click.dji.com/AElm23aHNE0v6OgCNhZN?pm=custom
Had firmware probs with my first mavic so returned it just received my replacement and i am now all ready to fly. Superb video would have no chance without it!
This is the only comprehensive guide I found that holds your hand for every step. Crazy helpful.
Ed, I loved your face when the women and her dogs walked past! Classic!
Christopher Smith yeah man I'm like the same
how dare she step through a calibration in progress
I think it is because he just removed the rotors and was scared the dogs would bite it.
hahaha
lmao im still laughing
That was really helpful
Appreciate it
Thanks Ed! Perfect video as I’ve just unpacked my new Mavic Pro!:)
Many Thanks from Sweden!
Keep up the good videos!🙌
I've owned a Standard 3 for a year now and am fairly proficient. Have not flown my new Mavic Pro yet (winter and windy) but I am enjoying watching helpful videos like yours for tips and advice. Thanks
Can i ask if calibration needs to be done outside before use if its been done at home (inside)?
Excellent tutorial!
Drone camera manga dena
thank you for being real.. and certainly educated enough on this to give us great videos.. just bought one 2.25.2018
AWESOME video for the "starter"!!!!!!! I will be watching it a few times. I purchased mine used, so I am not even sure about all the calibration stuff!!! THANK YOU
Very nice. Couple of additional tips. Put your cell phone in "airplane mode" so you don't get messed up with texts and/or phone calls while flying. Second, one of your remote antennas was deployed backwards in this video. You want both with the flat side facing towards the drone.
Good point about the airplane mode. However, my remote antennae's don't turn that way. In order for them to point up away from the controller, they have to be oriented the way I have them in the video.
Ed Ricker Vlogs this might be a stupid question, but you don't have to do this every time😬😁
+guitarsan, I don't where you get that idea from, but it's simply not possible to turn both antenna's in a way that they look the same, you would break one.
If you actually ever owned a mavic you would know that the antenna in fact is supposed to be in an opposing fashion
guitarsan aa
I have been looking at buying this drone. Great information in this review.
Great video instruction for 1st time users here. Have been watching so many videos before I dare take mine out for it's first flight. This has been the best so far!
Great video. Considering getting this very drone and i was pretty sure already, but seeing all the safety features that are on it to make sure that nothing happens to the drone due to stupid actions on my part is a really big comfort.
Great Video Ed, thanks for sharing, really though, much of this stuff should be in the quick start manual, especially the IMU calibration. I flew my Mavic Pro three times before it randomly nosedived out of the sky, of course I got it fixed but it cost me £76.00, it was three weeks old and had been flown three times :( But DJI insisted it was user error, which it certainly wasn't. Had I know about some go the stuff in your video perhaps it would not have happened. Thanks again for the vid. I like your style!! :)
我觉得电池的问题，比如突然断电，电池鼓包！
Great video, always helpful to learn new tips. My request would be for a video specifically about proper gimbal settings and thumb wheel management for smooth cinematic shots when it comes to moving the camera up and down while filming. I seem to struggle with that. Thanks for the video!
Thanks Jason! Have you seen my video here? ua-cam.com/video/6kfuJxF3PUM/v-deo.html
I watched it again, that helped. Thanks Ed!!

Thank you so much for this video, I tried the manual with their super FinePrint and was rather discouraged, your video was clear and concise and was exactly what I was looking for as a first-time Mavic Pro drone pilot. I have subscribed and I'm looking forward to some of your other videos.
thanks for the video, I've just realized I've got a lot to learn, this is going to be fun!!!
Nice explanation for starting!
OMG YOU TIME TRAVELED TO DECEMBER 21, 2017!
lol
Found this massively helpful in getting started with my new Mavic . . Top Job
Nice, good job I soooo needed this. I plan to buy a Mavic at some point and a tutorial like this is absolute gold, thank you so much!
I'm here because I just got my Mavic Pro and I know SHIT about it!!!
+1 if you here for the same reason!
+1
Ya
I know a lot about it and I have one. I came here to see if I was fucking up something with it. +1
Today, Pro Platinum.
Same here +1
0:22 look at the date stamp
welcome to future 😁
Welcome to the NOW future
Ed
Just bought a Mavic Pro - just getting used to flying it and trying to get to grips with all the various instructions
Great video - Beginner's Guide Part 1 - DJI Mavic Pro
Looking forward to seeing more - you have a good voice to follow - this is very important
Excellent video! Thanks for sharing the info. I have the Mavic Pro, but have not used it for over 6 months, so I decided today to go out and fly again!
imagine if you will, going back in time to..ohh...hmm...1964 and go to an RC model hotspot with the Mavic Pro. The guys back in the day would freak! People spent fortunes to fly their garage made planes and the tech was extremely low in comparison. I'm 60 years old and blown away with the "progress" of modern living. The technology of today is awesome and the future looks bizarre with unknown discoveries!
Dude! I'm in my thirties: when I first got into RC, helicopters were $2-5k. No kid could afford that! Now, with 4k video, autonomous flight, etc they are $500! And that's not correcting for inflation. My dad took a sled to school so, ya, that's where we've come in 80 years…
Wilfred Darr actually this is $999.99. Is basically 1K. Trust me, I've had my Mavic Pro for awhile now
Camden B Sorry yes I know the Mavic is more, I meant that you can get an off brand with 4k video and basic return to home for as little as $500. The old nitro helicopters didn't have hover, return to home, and certainly not 4k video (heck you might have rigged a simple battery powered 35mm with a servo triggered shutter but no video camera of that time would have been light enough for a $5000 RC helicopter. We've come a long way! And that was only about 25 years ago.
11:34 Uh, you have max flight distance set to 2000 meters, aka 2 kilometers.
Awesome video! Coming over from the Parrot Bebop series your videos have been an incredible help. Thank you so much for taking the time to produce them.
It is kind people like you that make life good. Thanks for taking the trouble to help us novices.
Wait December 21? 2017!?!?
Hi Ed, just got a Mavic pro and l’m have a hard time turning on and off the controller, any suggestions???
James Bedell to turn on the controller, press once, and when it shows the battery level, press and hold the button. To turn the remote off, press the power button once, and when the screen turns blank, press and hold.
quixitoc thank you
Ed your video is still the best intro for a first flight. Great to watch again if you've been away from the drone for a while.
Thanks for all your help ed, getting this drone off the floor was made easy with the step by step guide, keep up the good work
hey i visited your video because im interested to buy this drone...but after seeing you can time travel i changed my mind im more interested to buy one of your time machine....please send me the link...thank you so much 👊😎
It's not for sale, but here's a demo of it in action: ua-cam.com/video/SMAY8gIuOFQ/v-deo.html
When you said you are not flying in wyfi what does that mean? Rc? And wyfi? What's the difference bud? What mode do you usually fly on? Also I use an iPad mini and my iPhone 6s Plus, I do have to set this up in both items correct? Ps your maximum distance is set to 2000 meters not 200 bud. 😊👍🏼
You can fly it with just your phone too. For that Mavic will create it's own wifi network. So on WiFi mode, you can fly with just your phone and in RC mode you use the remote controller. WiFi has around 260ft distance while RC has around 2.5 miles (CE) or 4.3 miles (FCC).
Haha yeah I misspeak a lot, whoops!
Lauri explained it well, thanks!
Gurla Loosh it`s very funny every time I see someone stupid trying to be smart :)
Absolutely brilliant tutorial! My Mint Mavic Pro arrives next week. I wait with eager anticipation. Already own a Dji Mavic mini. Only had her for two weeks. I managed to find a almost new Dji Mavic Pro combo edition. The price was to good to not get her. Anyways cheers mate big help this video is. Massive help infact. Thanks very much indeed.
Thanks for the great video. I'm probably a little behind since this drone came out a while ago, bit this tutorial got me up to speed coming from P4A I had a while ago.
Great video, nice and straight forward. The is almost NO actual ,instructions packaged with the Mavic Pro and most of the videos seem to skip from election at opening the box to flying and making amazing videos. What some one need to do is explain all the starting stuff so you dont end up in a tree like me!
Question: firmware update out of the box too? At the moment there is a version 3 for the drone and a version 2 for the controller but should they not be the same version i.e. downgrade the Mavic to match the controller?
Hi Kevin, thanks for watching! My firmware was actually up-to-date right out of the box. However, if you connect the controller to the drone and app with cellular connection, it will scan the devices automatically and update the firmware very easily.
As for a firmware discrepancy between the controller and the drone, I don't know...mine seems to match. That's odd to me.
Well, there is no real instructions because they don't expect people to buy this as "learning drone". I guess..
Why am i watching this i dont even have a mavic pro
Same dude. Thats became s dream😭
Enej Music me too 😂😂😂😂
Piss off then broke boi
Te Kaha at least he don’t like his own comment
Y'all can get one too at a very low cost
As a new Mavic owner, I found this video to be an excellent resource. Thank you very much for all the great information and I look forward to watching more
Thank you for this. My Mavic pro platinum will arrive in a couple of days and I have no idea how to fly it. And now I have an idea from you. Will check your other videos. Thanks and keep them coming 👍
You inboxed it in the future....
Michael Gallagher Hahaha I sure did!
0:21 wow your living in the future
Brillant Ed! You answered so many questions i had that I knew I wasnt going to get at the store.
I am a beginner as a youtuber blogger, you know this video is great for all of us and so many people watched and subscribed, I hope many of you like those who watched ... I hope when the day comes I will be just like you as a youtuber bloger ... thank you very much

Philippines
You still getting paid for 90210?
Crazybizo ?
ROFL 🤣 Mr Priestly in the house!
hahah yeah it does look like him, kinda
Crazybizo i
the new mavic camera broke from the clamp while flight why it happened...the camera broke and mavic crashed
Amit Kumar you d0nt fly with the clamp on
Yikes! Did they repair the camera?
thank you so much i just got one and have watched 2 of your tutorials on what to do first i think i am ready to go out with mine and set it up and get flying now .i will still use my cheap drone to practice line of sight with out all the bells and whistles that way i will be set to orient my self in real world flying rather than relying on gps and all the high tech sensors doing everything for me if it all goes belly up . this drone is well worth the money but always good to have a bit of a foundation with a cheap one to get some basic skills as well bravo i have subbed to your channel . 10/10
Hi Ed, just bought a Mavic Pro, I found your beginners guide extremely helpful, thanks Mate👍
i dont have one 😥😥
so y i watch this 🤔😂
cuz i love it but cant buy it $$$😖😭
HEY! You have the inboxed date as Dec 21, 2017 ..... but that has not happened yet, today its only July 22, 2017 ..... Wait! Is this a time warp video? Lol, I hope so.
David Paxton ,pp bkghfcnm,
Great video! I just got my Mavic Pro and this helped out a bunch, much appreciated. Great quality and audio as well.
Just bought a Mavic Pro today! This video was incredibly helpful, definitely subscribed!! Thanks Ed.
u should go back to the dinos time lol:}
The best advice I can give a new Mavic owner is: Remember To Remove The Gimbal Guard!! And then keep it off because you're gonna forget to take it off someday.
What will happen if i don't remove it?
why?
Just like I have seen on military aircraft before flight time,
add a red banner remove ribbon to the Gimbal Gard.
The company should have done it.
Superb and much more thorough and informative than DJI's own tutorials. You are an excellent communicator - and that's from a former BBC TV guy! Thanks...
An extremely informative tutorial video. Just received my Mavic pro and this is excellent. Well done.
11:34 Think you meant 2000 meters not 200
If you mean flying above 200 is Right 400 is Max but more than likely you mean something else so my bad
+84 Tubbs 2000 is definitely in a no-fly zone a lot of people fly below 400 ft stealth Choppers stay off of radar by fly under 500 ft and mask movement bye moving in sync with an electrical object in motion
Yep he Set it up to 2Km
5:26 - 5:33 Awwww :3

Thanks, Ed, your video had good, useful information including you demonstrating it as you talked about it. Perfect. Subscribed, headed now to Part 2. Thanks!
