Thanks for the inside look at the Mavic. Love the fast pace/ no non-sense presentation.
You're welcome! Glad you liked it.
Now thats the way a strippdown should be done
Clear precise and excellent instructions
THANKS
I just want to thank you for your tutorial that saved my Mavic. It's not so easy to find someone who explain in a simple and clear way like you do. So have you a nice day and I subscribe to your channel istantly!!!
Awesome! Love hearing this. Welcome to my channel. I haven't done many drone videos...I need to make more
Awesome video! Great to see what's under the hood.
Thanks! Yep, they're pretty cool inside.
I liked the part when he pulled the camera out, so satisfying.
wow, really interesting teardown I'm impressed with how they designed this drone,
Ya, looks pretty good!
Thank you 🙂 u don't even know how much you've helped me 👍
Can you post a video of how Mavic looks under X-ray or airport scanner when folded.
Hmmm...not sure how I would do that.
Nice job!
Ahhh, my curiosity has been cured.
We assume you got the bird back together without extra parts and it flys. Pretty gutsy to take that thing apart. Very compact. Nice.
Ha, ha..yes! It's back together and working great! Anything for my UA-cam channel!
Your drone tear downs are super cool and very informative. But why don't you tear down the controllers too?
BAHAHAH so i am already a loyal sub.... but i did not expect you to be my 1st result when i went to look to disassemble my Mavic ! LMAO ! You should do some more drone stuff i you are still into it !
Interesting teardown. thank s
You're welcome!
you are very professional
My dream drone.
You'll love it!
TronicsFix yeah. But it is so expensive in my country. Dream about it.
nice vid
can you disable the 500m altitude limit?
You need custom firmware
Do you think dji could tell you opened it and therefore voiding the warranty?
Probably, yes.
Great video! Question, what is the cable connected to the upper shell in the rear! I’m replacing my shell and I’m not sure if the one coming in the mail will have it. Thanks!
did you find out?
Can you make a video showing how to remove the middle frame and tools needed?
Hmmm...maybe
I don't hace in my mind to open it meanwhile I have the guarantee, but very very interesting. Thank you for the video.
Glad you liked it!
You ARE the man. Great inside look. Was worried about the finish of it all, but it looks like a solid build. I would've flown it at least once before opening it up though! Subbed and following with interest ;)
Ha, ha...ya, I thought about it but I wanted to get the vid up asap. Thanks for the sub. Let me know what other drone vids you want to see!
Türkiye
It's funny how the spark looks more advanced under the hood . If the spark had bigger motors and a better camera and obviously a slightly bigger battery it would be freaking insane . Size means nothing if the power of the motors is keeping it stable . The Mavic pro doesn't weigh much more than the spark anyway
Wow cool
Your the man! Thanks for this video!
You're welcome!
Hello, awesome video. Can you also do an DJI Osmo Mobile teardown? I'm particularly interested with how to disassemble the gimbal arm where you adjust for balance. Mine is stuck and kinda bent as well. Thanks
Maybe...might check that out.
please do a tear down on phantom 4 pro i want to see what is in side the 20mp camera thanks
That would be fun. I may do that at some point.
Excellent to see the guts ? Why do you do it though?
What I got from this is the wifi card and what I seem to think it would have best reception going away from you?
Why do I do it? Because I like to take stuff apart, and I like making videos for UA-cam!
Thank you!
My pleasure!
I think an overhead view would be better. The focus wasn't happy with the constant changing.
Can you pls make a video on how to remove the front sensors.
No promises, but I'll look into it.
Definitly subscribing to your channel.. keep it up
Thanks for the sub!
Hi, liked your video. Just wanted to know if its possible to assemble a complete mavic pro drone from spare parts?
Sure, why not?
Perfect way of messing with DJI's perfect customer support and warranty. So. Do you work for DJI!?
DJI's perfect customer support? lol, good one ;D
hello sir nice teardown, I have some question,
1)have you noticed any drops in wireless signal from the mavic to the rc,?
2) in your video, you didn't mention any barometric sensor, is it on the first board with all the ultrasound sensor or on the inner board?
1) I haven't noticed any, but haven't flown mine too much either.
2) I don't know where that sensor is. Sorry about that.
Hello. I disassembled my mavic pro and now I receive compass error. Any way to fix it please? Thanks!
Where the hell did "unboxing" videos come from. Stupid concept. This one is helpful
JR
Glad you like it!
I really enjoy using this Mavic Pro sites.google.com/site/MavicProNow
Wow that was cool
Thanks!
Do you have any idea what causes jello effect on these? Somebody said gimbal controller board.
There are several things that can cause it:
1) Cold weather
2) The Gimbal base plate being out of place
3) Software/hardware issue (For this you would have to send it in for repairs.)
Great video. Would know where can i get screw set to upper shell? Regards
Woah so cool
Nice vid! Quick question..I have 2 mavics, 1 regular pro and the alpine white version. The cooling fan seems to blow softer on the white mavic. It's not as loud and I can tell theres less air that comes out of the rear vents on the white. I noticed this when I was checking for updates while both mavics were on. Both are pretty much still new. Could it possibly be a design change for more efficiency on battery life? Maybe a lower quality fan in the white? Thoughts?...
Hi Tronics,
Can I take out just the top component without having to open the bottom parts?
If so what are the exact tools I need just to open the top components of the drone?
Just because I'll be needing to order it online as none of my screw driver fits.
Hopefully you can help me out!
Something went in where the battery locks (those two little holes) and it went inside so now I have to open the top component just to get it out because i'm afraid it might melt and do something to the drone.
hi friend where I live there are a lot of ants so one day I left my mavic mini on the table, and they got into the drone and took out blue particles as if it were detergent, I know what the glue is, there is a risk that they have damaged the plate or something like that? Thank you
No you're fine
HI guy, please let know how to remove the front arm from Mavic pro. I didnt found how to do that. Thanks
How does the fan connect to the board? My fan doesn't seem to want to come on and I'm trying to figure out my best options.
Great video! Just one important question: in which memory chip the flight log data are stored? I think there should be an onboard dedicated flash memory chip but it seems to me not to be present among the illustrated chips. Any help is very appreciated, thank you.
Olá, sou André e tenho DJI Mavic Pro. Tive um acidente e quebrei o braço traseiro direito. Como conserta?
The connector of the ribbon cable at 3:30 came off when I was taking it off, what would you suggest it do? Just stick the ribbon straight to the board?
Nice vid by the way!! But did you notice where the GPS-recievers where located? Can't find any documentation of it anywhere. Need to disable them, sp would be nice to know the excact location. I have come as far as placing it on the rear end of the Mavic, but no more.
I didn't check that...I'll have a look at that if I do a future video. Why disable them...just out of curiosity.
it be good to flyin non gps mode as contoler or screen don't let u select ATTI mode like Phantom controlers do. so flyin inside or if ud want to fly where the quad drifts and don't lock down to one spot (for cinematic shots) wonder if it's as easy as puting tinfoil over top of back to keep the gps locking.
The GPS receiver is located right at the back of the top cover and connects to the main board with a wire and plug, very easy to disconnect if needed.
Ladies and Gentlemen! I found it for 1131.99 USD with coupon code: MAVICC811

change sport mode switch to ATTI mode with firmware mod using dji assistant in debug mode.
no need to butcher it.
Hi, is there a microswitch to perform an hard reset? This would be useful to restart the ftp connection in a bricked motherboard!
can u guys teardown the camera？
Great idea!
Does it have a water indicator or sensor so if you fly it in rain will it affect warranty ??
I didn't see one but it's possible there is one there.
Do u hav any idea of how to do away the annoying beeping speaker from the controller? Or perhaps to adjust it to lower volume.
Hmmm...no. I haven't looked into that at all...maybe I'll have to.
starting a new job repairing phones and my boss wants me to learn how to change the cameras on these bad boys. do you really need to pull the whole thing apart just to get to the camera/gimbal cables? he said i would be replacing the whole camera/gimbal component.
I fly a rotorX Atom V2 so those things are easy to replace parts on, unless u smash the control cube that's expensive, so i was hoping you or someone could link me to a proper camera replacement video for these. I saw the mav 2 camera swap vid and am watching that now too.
The Mavic 2 is MUCH easier to replace the camera/gimbal. The Mavic 1 does not have an easily replaceable camera/gimbal.
awesome video. I'm def loving the mavic also sofar. only had it for about a week. I would love some feedback or ideas on my drone channel if you had the time. you got my subscription. thanks.
Thanks for the sub. Your channel looks really good. Two pieces of advice:
1) Create quality content
2) Just Keep Uploading
Awesome I appreciate the feedback man. Keep up the amazing job
I have another difficulty. No one from the programmers told me how to recover a video file that glitched after transferring it from media to media?
Did you use a 1.5 hex for the two middle screws on the bottom plate? It didn't lock for me. What would you do if the screw didn't come out?
I'm not sure what you mean by "it didn't lock for me". If the screw doesn't come out then you have to figure out why it's not coming out and go from there. There's no way for me to know.
TronicsFix LLC I meant that my - 1.5mm is smaller than the screw. I used a 2.0 that was too big. I'm gonna purchase another 1.5 hex driver and try a T5 to see if I can get them out
. It isn't stripped yet.
Oh. Seems like so compact inside. Apple style.
Ya, it's all really packed in there...I'm a little worried about the heat it will produce, but we'll see it that will be a problem or not.
My dji Mavic pro gimbal crash and it's not working now !
Is it possible to remove the top cover without removing the bottom cover? We've got a Mavic Pro that's not getting any camera output and the gimbal doesn't seem to be receiving any power, so I was thinking that one of the ribbon cables were knocked loose during shipping, and would like to see if we could take a look and potentially fix it, since DJI hasn't replied to us since December about the problem.
You should be able to but I haven't actually done it so I don't know for sure.
Yes u can easy
Hmmm not really fond of the fan for cooling, those small fans are prone to fail really fast.
Not my favorite either but hopefully it's a good quality one!
Hello Tronics! My Mavic is with an error 1112. I can't activate it to fly. Suport DJi said he can't activate it because they reported it as a transport robbery, I was tricked by a salesman, I lost my money. Do you think if I change the logic board this problem can be solved? Thank you!
3:22 where does this ribbon cable plug into?
Nice video! I have a question...after i crashed my mavic, the little piece that cover one of thoose forward sensor broke! It is easy to fix that if i get a new piece? It is possible to repair without open the mavic?
Thanks
You have to open it to do pretty much anything. I'm pretty sure you'll have to open it for that.
I think my SD card slot is broken in my Mavic Prox did you see any way that could be replaced? Or would i just need to get a whole new board?
It could probably be replaced but would be a difficult job. It would be easier to just buy the board if you can ever find one.
nice tech work enjoyed and got alot of help from your videos thanks man
really good work specaily the xbox one s tear down video
Thanks...glad you like them!
what are all of the boards used for?
where is the IUM located?
Do you believe from what you've seen inside the body, it warrants it's RRP in terms of quality of parts?
Yes
Thinking about how much this model must have cost to develop, test and bring to market it's a good price.. flymore combo is $1950.00 in the UK.. born free, taxed to death. 😊🚁💨
Does anyone know the part number of the mother board itself?
Nice
Thanks!
Very nice video. I want to see a psvita teardown. Is that possible ? :-)
Yes, it's possible...just not sure how many people would watch it!
dose any one can explain why after i replaced gimball with original camera from mavic - both gimball and video -dead?
Hello, I have big problems with my Mavic Pro, I crashed in to bridge and the river and after the cleaning with fresh watter and drying my Mavic wont start, battrry is On but Mavic Wont start. What could be the problem I opened when I cleaned but the parts are ok, I think that is no power from batterry to motherbord. I don't know what to do :(
Unfortunately, just no way for me to know. With liquid damage it can be really tough to diagnose the problem.
how do you know you won't fry that circuit board with an ESD (electrostatic discharge) without being grounded? I build circuit boards for a living, and have seen what an ESD can do to a board. It doesn't take much to fry a circuit. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to be a wise ass. I'm just asking. How do you know you won't?
Experience mostly. Firstly, I was careful with what I touched with my bare fingers on the circuit board. Secondly most electronics like this don't have the delicate parts that you would need to be careful of ESD with. I've seen what it can do to a board as well and when the situation calls for it I'm very careful about it.
I really do not get it... Why leaving the propellers on?
Why not? Who cares?
Well if I were the owner I would care. A lot! But who am I to judge. Still it is a great video, and quite helpful.
06:09, what its the purpose of that cable?
I don't remember...it's been too long since I've done this teardown.
@@Tronicsfix no worries i found out,was for the gps sistem, cause i took out mine by mistaken and the drone stopped working.(newbie) btw.
Thanks!
I just tore the damn ribbon cable 😅 from 3:32 what now?
why did you take it apart?
Are the metal parts that are covered in thermal paste made of aluminium or some other metal?
I'd replace it with some liquid metal based thermal paste, but that stuff will destroy aluminium.
Thanks in advance!
I really don't remember. I think so but I can't say for sure. I would not use liquid metal on them for sure.
Thank you for the quick reply, mate!
Looks like I'm gonna do some more research. The reason I'm thinking of using liquid metal based thermal paste is that I might just squeeze out some extra battery life with a more efficient cooling solution, especially now that summer is on its way...
That's possible but I'd just be extremely careful with it. Not only is it not for aluminum, it is also conductive so you have to be much more careful with the amount you put on. Any that squishes out and contacts other components can cause serious problems.
Thanks for the advice! I have been using the stuff for years on all the computers that I've built, even upgraded some old GPU's with it. I'm well aware of its properties, but the performance boost is worth the extra effort if you ask me. So why not give it a try on the Mavic?
Ha, ha...you give it a try on your Mavic and let me know how it goes 😀
What kind of dielectric sealant do you use for contacts?
RASHID N thermal paste
Do You know how much the down cover weights?
No idea
Hi all
how it called that blue "thermal pasta" thing? Is it silicon? I asking because I have to re do it.
It's a thermal pad
@@Tronicsfix it's not thermal pad. Pad keep shape after removing it. Here we have thermal compound. You can easily use PC thermal compound. Most of them don't conduct electricity and has higher quality than this blue crap. I used Noctua one and now heat sink get really warm before fan start.
@@TheYamakasi007 thermal pads will do the job just fine.
What if you would disconnect the lights? Could that get you more battery life ?
I'm sure it would get you a little more. They are LED lights though so they take very little power to run.
Oh ok :) Thanks for the reply.
you can turn off front LED-s from the dji go software directly!
sserev feszoj Yes, but not the one on the back :) However i'm guessing it doesn't really use that much power.
Andrei Brănescu :)
where are the compass located ? i have compass 2 disconnected error ?

TronicsFix i don't think its broken as its never been crashed just disconnected. it states their is 2 compass so wondering where they are both situated
Do a video of flying this thing
I may do that at some point.
TronicsFix Thank you sir!
i replaced my fan on my ps4 internal fan and it is still really loud and blows out fairly cold air or room temperature do i need thermal paste??
If you removed the motherboard and didn't put new thermal paste on it then yes, you need new thermal paste.
TronicsFix ok thank you
How could you know that there wouldn’t be 19 springs of different sizes, just waiting for the chance to fly to the Four Winds, with no hope of figuring out where they belong? 😆😆
I couldn't...that's a chance you take when you tear something down!
This is crazy
Why?
TronicsFix a lot of technology in a small drone, that’s crazy
next video: Teardown your work desk, Lol. Keep up the good work.
Ha, ha...I had to put that thing together...there's no way I'm tearing it down now!
lmao at the end no vid or reassembly.. doubt that thing is ever gonna fly again
Is this based on a French design or a Swiss design ? ,...
I have no idea.
Would be kind of interesting to know the real story behind the DJI Mavic team of designers and engineers.
True
Why can't it be a Chinese design because DJI is a Chinese company after all.
Most of the DJI's R&D team is in Shenzhen, the others (FPGA, video transmission) are in Shanghai. As far as I know, all the engineers are Chinese.
DJI recently released a video to demonstrate how they figure out the mavic's revolutionary design. But for certain reasons, the "engineers" appeared in that video are actors. The real engineers behind the scene cannot speak English fluently.
hi Guy, I need the occusync module, do you have for sale?
Unfortunately, no. I don't have any parts for these.
Thanks
Yoooo i won ❤️
YA...just contact me so I can get your address: tronicsfix.com/pages/contact
TronicsFix but I live in the philippens😭😢
What did you win?
How to fix error 0x800000
the question is... did this work after this whole fiasco
Ha, ha...yes, that is the question. I haven't even gotten the chance to fly it yet. I did update it so it's ready to go, hopefully soon!
If you planning to do a dji mavic give away pls let me know.. cos I can't afford one..!:-) lol
Maybe when the channel is a little bigger I can do that!
+TronicsFix believe me you will make it big..!all the best..!!
why did you do a teardown????
I think the real question is "Why wouldn't I???"
That's a shocking amount of thermal paste they have used. Kid of defeats the purpose of using thermal paste in the first place.
zemekiel when doing reassembly to you made thermo paste
Made in China. See guys, not everything made in China is crappy. You just get what you pay for.
