New to the drone world and picked up a Mavic 2 Zoom. Got all the firmware updates completed, drone registered and flown a few times. Amazed at how it handles and the amazing pics and videos. Thanks for the video, I think I've watched it 3 times.
HIGHLY recommend not installing the props until you're actually ready to fly it. Nothing like an inadvertent start on your table to get your attention. Much safer to do all of the firmware updates and setup with the props not attached.
Aldryn, your new user preparatory tutorial is great for new users like me. They’re clear, straight forward, and no waisted time & unnecessary talk. Looking forward to your other tutorial videos. Keep it up and take care bro! 🙏
Hi Adrian, only one thing about the DJI CARE REFRESH, I think that it´s important that people out of the US know that this CARE PLAN it´s only valid in the region or country that you buy it and register the Refresh plan. I live in Mexico City and the DJI REFRESH CARE is not available here so i buy it form the US store. But if you read the little letters in the disclaimers of the contract that you always AGREE (mark) it clearly said that the plan it´s only valid if the accident, crash, etc take place in the region in which you register the plan. Thanks, Adrian I really like your videos, you have a particular pace that let us learn about all your advice.
I will add that getting personal article insurance through State Farm or any similar insurance carrier is MUCH cheaper and a much better deal. Mine was literally a few more bucks a year for full coverage when tacked on to our other insurance.
Just wanted to say Thanks for all your videos. I just purchased a Mavic 2 Zoom, and also a Mavic Mini. Your videos made it so much easier for me to get setup and ready to fly. First flights were today...had a great time!! Thanks!!
I have recently purchased a Mavic 2 Pro and I really appreciate the information you provide in your videos. The DJI videos are good but not nearly in-depth enough for a beginner. Yours are amazing. When are you going to do a video on the latest version of the Go 4 app?
Aldryn, I want to thank you for your efforts in educating newbies on these drones. I watch about three to four different channels and this one on the explanation on how to calibrate the IMU was very helpful to see it in action. I'm one if those people who learns faster by observing a procedure and this one fit the bill. Thanks. Jeff in Indiana
Hey Aldryn, great beginners video...I owned 3 P4's before buying the M2Pro, but was very disappointed when DJI told me the DJI Go 4 app doesn't support the Crystalsky monitor, and I own 2 that I've been using with my P4Pro - and for the same reasons you like using a tablet, I love the Crystalsky because of it's brightness and the fact it doesn't wash out in the sun. I'm hoping they update the app soon!
The inspection part reminded me of the time I found a hairline fracture on my gimbal. I sent it into DJI with hopes they could replace the small damaged piece and they sent me a refurbished drone, which is ok but I never crashed mine and felt disappointed I received one that I had no idea of what it went through or why it was sent in.😐 But it serves the point that if not for a routine inspection it could have crashed had the piece snapped off.🤗
Great tutorial Aldryn, I notice only one nit. The table for IMU calibration should be flat and LEVEL. I think the app tells you to have a level surface anyway, so it's not a big deal if the user pays attention to the app instructions. Also, it helps to do this calibration when cold (not mentioned in the app). Doing the IMU calibration in temps below 50F is helps speed up boot time every time you fly. Some folks put the craft in the fridge for 15min, but I don't recommend that. Early morning winter (depending where you live) is a good time to do this, when that time and temp arrives.
Excellent video bruh. Just got my 2 Pro today and I absolutely love it. Rock solid build and quality technology. Looking forward to flying it, after I get some flight hours in with my Bebop 2. Thanks!
I'm so happy that I got my first dji drone ( I got the mavic air 2) so far so good, I can't wait to upload my first video. My only complaint so far is the cable, I had to remove my case, otherwise it doesn't fit. Any suggestions?
Well done with a very informative presentation. Your instructions and advice is to the point and very easy to follow. Thanks for your effort and time creating all your very educational videos. Much appreciated and keep them coming.
Hello nice and clear instructions on the mavic 2 pro preparation 🙏👍 I just got my mavic 2 brand new quad and I was thinking just out of the box to proceed only with compass calibration outside the field and only if I notice any deviation or other abnormalities of the aircraft then to proceed back to home with IMU calibration and even a gimbal calibration (in case of horizon tilt issue). So, what's your opinion on that? Is that IMU calibration a mandatory step before first flying the drone? Thank you!
I notice that the front motor for mavic zoom is hotter compare to the rear and its hot but not enough to burn your finger , i hope you can make a review about this thanks
Great video! One question though. Do you know how to toggle between the screen that shows the video feed by itself and the version with all of the buttons and controls?
tomas o sullivan just wanted to say thank you for that video it was really helpful but I have a question where can I get that Device that holds your iPad
Great video. Thank you. Also, I have 3 questions: 1. You did the IMU and gimbal calibration in the house, so I assume we can also do that in the house? 2. Should we repeat those calibrations on any particular schedule. 3. From day one, every time I turn on the MP2 I see the "calibrate compass" block outlined as if it lost calibration and needs to be re-calibrated, even when I fly at the same location. Is that block just outlined by default, or is it telling me I must re-calibrate the compass every flight?
Great video as always! Some people have been saying the the RTH "precision landing" is either not functioning / or not included in the Mavic 2 series. Could you confirm if this is correct concerning the RTH "precision landing". I felt that precision landing was a great feature with the original Mavic, I am kind of bummed DJI may have discontinued the feature going into the 2nd series of Mavics.
I bought the Care Refresh on 8/23/18 for my pro and DJI says it's good for a new future purchase not the new mavic I bought..Got ripped off with their clever wording.. In process of sending the drone back but they still won't refund my money for Care Refresh. Chinese act like they don't understand..The hell with DJI. By the way I have several of their products including an Inspire 2 w/ X7 You videos are some of very best ..Thank You..
Hi quick question ref M2PRO the emergency drone shut down feature the DJI DRONES have (pull down and in on the sticks) would it be possible to do a in depth tutorial as I have heard some not a lot of the drones have come down by accidentally using this in built feature?
I just did and apparently Mr. Frump signed this BACK into law for 2018 so now you need to register any drone over .55 lbs. up to 55 lbs. After that it's a major deal with big drones. I signed up on the FAA site, then tried to register but it's pretty confusing and I couldn't figure out what they wanted me to do. Oh well.
Hello Aldryn, I’m a new subscriber to your channel . Love your videos! I’m asking for your help. I recently just bought a Mavic Mini and I don’t have the option to quickshot mode. I only have options for video and camera. Can you help?? My firmware is updated
Just watched a video from Dustin Dunhill on the Mavic 2. He had loads of problems using his android phone and had to resort to his Apple phone. Couldn’t connect at all kept on crashing. What’s the score here put me off I have an Android phone what do I do don’t want to end up having to buying an Apple phone as well as the Mavic 2 regards Irvine UK
I find that my iPad Air (V1). is too dim even with a hood ,same for my iPad mini (V2). What is your experience with iPads? I gave up on them as well as phones and just got one each of the Crystalsky monitors and I'm not looking back.
Thanks for posting the link to the iPad bracket. Where did you find that length Lightning Cable to plug it in to? I see 6”, 8”, 12”, 3ft, etc. but yours looks like it is about 18”. What is the actual size and where did you get it? Thanks.
Can streamed footage from my Mavic 2 pro aircraft be recorded straight to my second sd card inside of my smart controller? For instance if I run out of space on the microSD card that’s inside of my aircraft will the streamed footage then be recorded on my second micro SD card inside of my smart controllers?
Question??? I have the mobile charger for the M2P batteries, plug into the cigarette lighter and all that, but how can I charge the controller when I'm on the road?
Hey, with the zoom do you reckon the camera is the same as the MVProPlat? Reason asking this is to customise the gimbal control and camera settings? Although the tripod mode might just stabilise the drone mitigating the gimbal movement
I have a question hopefully someone can offer guidance. I want to buy a mavic 2 pro and fly around in the back of my work during lunch etc. My work is within 5 miles of a class b airspace but I want sure if I need to let atc know even though I'm planning on flying less than 25 or so off the ground. It's well below the trees and building height. I wouldn't think that would be an issue since it's not high enough to pose any risk to aircraft etc.
every new place of flight you only need calibrate the Compass the IMU Calibration needed if you travel with plane or you never fly you drone for couple of month ( for long time I mean)
I have a quick question first time drone owner Mavic to zoom how do you share drone videos with someone else I mean I’m trying and I am unable to send long videos to my friends for some reason it’s not allowing me how can I change that
I do the imu and camera once I get the drone. Then I do the compass in the field before my first flight. After that, I now wait for the app to tell me u less I see feel something weird with my flights.
The best on UA-cam. More complete and very easy to understand. You are the GOTO for drones.
Can I fly a Mavic Air and new Mavic pro zoom on the same I pad mini ?
New to the drone world and picked up a Mavic 2 Zoom. Got all the firmware updates completed, drone registered and flown a few times. Amazed at how it handles and the amazing pics and videos. Thanks for the video, I think I've watched it 3 times.
Awesome and congrats on your first flights.
You are so clear and precise and easy to learn from. Good Job, Richard Miller
Thanks Richard
As per usual! crystal clear briefing👍👍👍🇬🇧 Thankyou
A very informative video.All my questions answered.I am very pleased with presentation and professionalism of This video.Thank you👌
Excellent video, I have been flying for some time now but it is always nice to refresh yourself with things you might have forgotten. Thanks again
HIGHLY recommend not installing the props until you're actually ready to fly it. Nothing like an inadvertent start on your table to get your attention. Much safer to do all of the firmware updates and setup with the props not attached.
I get notification that your video cames out right when I finished unboxing... OMG, Well done, and Thank You!
Thanks for such a great introduction to a first time user.

Thanks for making this video, first time drone owner here and I went with the mavic 2 zoom. It's perfect for Facebook and Instagram..
Great video, very informative, thanks
Thx for the good tips
Best video I've seen, all the other videos people didn't know what they were doing

Got my first drone, the Mavic 2, coming. Thanks for this clip. Going to follow all your reco's.
Incredibly helpful!
Great turtorial for beginners and nice to see how other droners are working their way throught the setup. Excellent Job!!

Bravo! You are very clear in your explanation. Thank you and congratulations!
German Silva Yes I agree with you, good information for the consumer
Very basic this time.. but will be helpful for Beginners.
WOW VERY HELPFUL THAN MOST VIDEO
Awesome tutorial!
Thanks for your support

Police Captain, State of Michigan (retired) I have a DJI Mavic Pro 2 and had it for sometime, things going well. I'm a Helicopter pilot
I'm so happy that I got my first dji drone ( I got the mavic air 2) so far so good, I can't wait to upload my first video. My only complaint so far is the cable, I had to remove my case, otherwise it doesn't fit. Any suggestions?
Dones not matter which video of yours I watch (or watch again), I am amazed by your presentations!
Great stuff Aldryn... keep them coming!
🙏🙏
great video
You are the best...

Can you do a review based on countries you can and can’t fly? Just FYI care refresh doesn’t cover remote just drone.
Great!
Another great video 👍
I notice that the front motor for mavic zoom is hotter compare to the rear and its hot but not enough to burn your finger , i hope you can make a review about this thanks
Excellent video man your very easy to listen to and very helpful 👌
Great video for me as a new Mavic 2 user. Is there a reason the video was slightly dark?
Great video! One question though. Do you know how to toggle between the screen that shows the video feed by itself and the version with all of the buttons and controls?
great in depth video ,,
tomas o sullivan just wanted to say thank you for that video it was really helpful but I have a question where can I get that Device that holds your iPad
@@chrishung213 ??? Video nothing to do with me I just commented on the video ..
I would recommend moverio glasses but there is a djgo4 app flaw it won’t upgrade to the last software

It will only tell you to recalibrate compass if there's an issue or if there's magnetic interference.
Great video as always!

MrSpiderfire is not on The Mavic 2
You did not mention the micro SD card speed. My drone pointed out the SD card was not fast enough for 4K video.
Does this Mavic 2 Pro have Wifi Mode?
Very good information, after I order my Mavic on average what's the timeline for delivery?
I don’t know right now but when they first released they were shipping units the first couple days after purchase
I bought the Care Refresh on 8/23/18 for my pro and DJI says it's good for a new future purchase not the new mavic I bought..Got ripped off with their clever wording..
In process of sending the drone back but they still won't refund my money for Care Refresh.

Nice, as usual. I thought the FAA registration thing died about a year ago? Thought we no longer had to register a Spark, Mavic, etc.??? No??
That’s why I left it general to just check now. It always changes.
I just did and apparently Mr. Frump signed this BACK into law for 2018 so now you need to register any drone over .55 lbs. up to 55 lbs. After that it's a major deal with big drones. I signed up on the FAA site, then tried to register but it's pretty confusing and I couldn't figure out what they wanted me to do. Oh well.
When you use the bottom USB connection you have to unplug the side USB Cable. It will not connect to the Tablet if 2 Cables are connected.
Besides calibrating the compass before you fly, should you calibrate the remote joysticks?
You could if you see the numbers are off and the flights seem off
i have a 128 gb card in mine
Excellent video. Thanks for posting. Do you recommend buying the Mavic directly from their web site or through a reseller like Multicopter?
Direct. If you use my links it helps my channel but it’s up to you. Either way I’d buy direct.
FlytPath Ok, I’ll use your link. Thanks!
Hello Aldryn,
I’m a new subscriber to your channel . Love your videos! I’m asking for your help. I recently just bought a Mavic Mini and I don’t have the option to quickshot mode. I only have options for video and camera. Can you help?? My firmware is updated
I have a note 20 will that work for controller and any advise would be greatly appropriated.
Tks.

What did you mean by " memory card that has been updated"?
I find that my iPad Air (V1). is too dim even with a hood ,same for my iPad mini (V2). What is your experience with iPads? I gave up on them as well as phones and just got one each of the Crystalsky monitors and I'm not looking back.
james R. Ya iPads and phones r horrible in day light. I just turn away or look for shade when possible.
Very nice drOne my dream drOne
maviC 2 prO no mony to buy very expensive drOne haha
i have maviC clone toy hehe
watching her in the Baguio Philippines
Where is activation in this process, do you have to register it with DJI when you first power it on before you do anything else?
kymusician 11:45
Thank you, I missed that the first time
Great video tutorials... just have 1 question? Do you usw care refresh on your mavic 2 pro? Do you recomend it?
Yes I recommend it
Thanks for posting the link to the iPad bracket. Where did you find that length Lightning Cable to plug it in to? I see 6”, 8”, 12”, 3ft, etc. but yours looks like it is about 18”. What is the actual size and where did you get it? Thanks.

Me puedes decir si tiene modo WiFi .
Para usar con el gimbal katana?.

Question??? I have the mobile charger for the M2P batteries, plug into the cigarette lighter and all that, but how can I charge the controller when I'm on the road?
Hey have you tried rth and presicion landing and see I herd that is having problem
Where's the precision landing feature on this one as is on Mavic Pro?
Hey, with the zoom do you reckon the camera is the same as the MVProPlat? Reason asking this is to customise the gimbal control and camera settings? Although the tripod mode might just stabilise the drone mitigating the gimbal movement

Does it necessarily to calibrate drone every new flight... Or it ll be calibrated every new place of flight..
every new place of flight you only need calibrate the Compass
the IMU Calibration needed if you travel with plane or you never fly you drone for couple of month ( for long time I mean)
Is that the same Ipad Mav Mount that works with the OG Mavic?
Yes version 3 Mount
I have a quick question first time drone owner Mavic to zoom how do you share drone videos with someone else I mean I’m trying and I am unable to send long videos to my friends for some reason it’s not allowing me how can I change that
Do you have to do it evrytime you move to a different location the IMU calibration and the gimbal calibration?
No. After the first time, I only do it if the drone acts weird.
FlytPath so which thing you have to calibrate outside the IMU or campus
I’m so lost in this drone penology
Hayy Papi compass.
I’ll can you make a video of mounts
Already in the works.
I’m kinda nervous and scared of flying it 😩😩😩😩🙏🏼👌🏼
no compass?
Vass that’s in the field. You don’t do compass indoors.
Can we put a memory card larger than 64gb? Like 128gb or more?
Yes. 128 sandisk are supported
I’m new to this how
What software you using to export in 10 bit ?
Great videos! You’re awesome! Is it recommended to do all calibrations before the first flight ?
I do the imu and camera once I get the drone. Then I do the compass in the field before my first flight. After that, I now wait for the app to tell me u less I see feel something weird with my flights.
