    This reminds me of a saying, - "If someone tells you that their dog can sing, don't ask which song it knows"
    Its a camera flying in the sky that can control itself. I have few complaints and am amazed every flight!

    I upgraded from a Phantom 3 Advanced to a Mavic 2 Pro, and couldn't be happier. The Mavic is a joy to fly and film with, and with the Litchi app I can do all sorts of cool stuff with it. While you pointed out some gripes, none of the things you talk about out made me regret my purchase in the least. The only point you made that I can identify with as a gripe is the limited modes the side anti-collision sensors are used in, but I'm honestly still having too much fun with the thing to care. For those who might be interested, I picked up a "Beyondsky Upgraded Mavic 2 Shoulder Bag Carrying Case 4 Battery Storage Box for DJI Mavic 2 Zoom / 2 Pro" case on Amazon, and the Mavic 2 Pro fits it perfectly (without the gimbal guard, which I immediately tossed).

    This is probably the best video about mavic2 drones on youtube. Of course these are awesome drones, that's not the point. The point is how we could make these better! This video is like "free consulting", consulting is so valuable for a company, DJI should really see this.
    I understand some people can feel offended because have spent lots of money on this drone. I have spent that money too. But from a professional point of view, knowing the limitations of your tool is the key to good planning. You need to know how to overcome the limitations of your tools to provide the best service to you clients. So don't feel ashamed, our 2k drones have limitations. Learn the limitations and learn to deal with it! This is actually what this video is about. So stop saying the authors are "crying", they are simply not. These guys are just professionals.

  • @alexrothbard4324
    @alexrothbard4324 6 років тому +11

    Speechless! Everything I’ve been trying to get you tubers to cover you guys covered it! I like how you said before everything that they are your favorite drones because I agree, they are fantastic. BUT, DJI needs to be called out on these quality control issues that can’t seem to improve over the years which is not fair to their loyal customers who have been spending thousands of dollars on their products for years. Couple things I will say. First, the rear gimbal roll motor actually gets scratched during flight by making contact with the plastic hooks on the gimbal bracket that secure the rubber dampeners. This shud have been picked up easily if they were to do proper testing and fixed simply by slightly moving that gimbal bracket or using different hook design with scratch resistant material(such as material used on the bottom of trick roller blades for grinding). Second, I got the pro and the zoom and got the fly more kit with both and it’s very weird but the bag I got with the pro version fit both my mavic 2’s just fine. However the bag I got with the zoom had the same issue where the drone simply did not fit without jamming it in the bag using way too much force. My conclusion is that all the bags they make are not exactly identical(very slight) but it’s already such a tight fit that even the slightest defect in the dimensions makes it not fit right so you may want to consider at least trying to return the bag for a new one because it may not seem like it but I think it’s actually manufacturer defect which again, should have been picked up with proper design and testing. I sent dji videos and pictures of the scratches on the rear gimbal and told them about the issue so at least they know about it. And the rear arms scraping didn’t bother me too much cuz I can just slightly push them away from the body when folding but the fact that they fold them before mass production and just say “oh well, good enough, too lazy to make design adjustments” really encapsulates the biggest problem with DJI, which is customer service and quality control which brings me to another point you made about the shipping. I too find it so rediculous that you can’t get their packages held or pre-signed because they don’t even consider how much of a pain it is to adjust your whole day around waiting for a package, especially when it’s a return product for something they didn’t do right, I agree it’s completely rediculous. Thank you for this video you guys, DJI needs to hear all this and hopefully they will realize a chain is only as strong as it’s weakest link, and their customer service and quality control is exactly that, a super weak link in their chain and it’s gone on for too long. It’s the small details that make all the difference.

    @#9... I love the fly more bag - If you actually try (like I did), you can fit two batteries on their sides next to each other at the bottom of the storage compartment. Do this first, then put the drone in, the way you did. Then the controller, charging bank, charger and power all fit next to the controller, very neatly. Then my controller tablet holder fits in right outer pocket, spare blades in front with ND filter case and neck strap, and cables etc go inside top of lid. All closes and then I have everything for a job. Note, I did buy the rubber blade protectors for storing the drone without ever damaging them - they were cheap and very nice to use.

    I agree with most of the points made in this video. I don't agree with some of my fellow viewers who see this as whining about a good product: we as consumers have every right to point out shortcomings of the products we buy with the hope that the manufacturers are paying attention. This goes for a $1000 drone as well as a $1 cat toy.
    The point of shipping via FedEx is lost on me for the simple reason that I would never order an expensive electronics device directly from an overseas company. The best point was more programmability of controller keys. I completely agree with the need to be able to turn on and off the obstacle avoidance with a button.
    Well done guys.

      Well, not sure about f/4 but f/5.6 is already getting soft. I think it’s misleading to put such a broad aperture range in there. They did well not to go lower than 2.8 in terms of other aberrations creeping in. With larger pixels f/11 would look fine, as it would on a 20MP full frame. When would you recommend using f/11 on the Mavic or P4?

    Some things I agree with that they said. Some I could care less about. The gimbal cover on mine was dislodged when I opened the box and also scratches on the gimbal from it. You’d think with all the removable stickers dji put on the drone they would spend the extra $.02 for some protection on the most important part of the drone. Especially for the price we have to pay!

    Personally I normally turn off the sensors and the zoom almost forces auto exposure if you are doing zoom as the exposure changes dramatically. Other than that I love the MPz, the MA, Spark and my EVO. I tossed the gimbal guard and use a foam pad between the camera and body which works much better.

  • @citabriaable
    @citabriaable 4 роки тому +1

    The round plastic gimbal guard was just a terrible pain in the ass until I figured out how to do it...then it was easy-peezie. You can attach it with the gimbal in almost any orientation once you realize how they designed it, then it seems almost genius. You just hold it by the globe and see how the gimbal is situated, then orient the cover in the same orientation....and "jacks-a-doughnut" slide it over...twist if needed and lock her down.

  • @jpdronography1
    @jpdronography1 4 роки тому +1

    I've had my zoom 18 months and am delighted. Yeah, I agree with some of your points, but the biggest to my mind is the con of 'Hasselblad' camera on the pro. Many reports say it's a SONY sensor. Hasselblad were a consultant to DJI, but they've not made the thing themselves. Should say SONY! Compared images with friends who have the pro, and we all agree the zoom produces better images, unless you're into processing RAW format. The zoom lenz is a real bonus (depending on what you're doing). More flexible and cheaper because you're not paying for that 'Hasselblad' badged name licence!!

    Thanks guy. Great video and I'm glad you pointed out some of these things. I have a question for you all.
    I was thinking of getting one of these as I currently I have the Phantom series drones (standard and (a crashed) pro vers 2). After watching the video, it appears DJI cheapen out making this drone. It doesn't look like it's built as strong as the Phantom series, yet the price is about the same for each model. Additionally, the controller looks like a video-game controller, which I can't stand. I'm flying a drone, not playing a PlayStation! What are your thoughts?
    From what I understand, the Phantom series is no longer in production. I'm just worried I may have no other option as I've yet to see another company create a flying camera that can produce decent quality images. Is the Mavic 2 PRO it worth it? Any options other than DJI? Any thoughts? Again, great video.

Seriously? I genuinely believe somebody forced you to make this video and you had no material to come up with, so you complain about things that aren't even functionality based.

    FYI 10 bit color is not a software issue, it’s a hardware issue. The sensor in the zoom can’t resolve 10b color, and doesn’t have the processing power to do it anyway. If it were a software issue, there would be camera hacks for every popular mirrorless to get 4K 60 10bit 422 out of everything. It’s hardware processing, encoding, and sensor capability. Different sensor, different hardware, different capabilities. Would love an interchangeable zoom lens on the pro though!

    Yeah, I don't know how to feel about DJI's delivery. Granted, THIS SITUATION was my fault but around 4 am, the day my Zoom was to be delivered, it said it somehow went back to Tennesee when a couple of hours ago I saw it about 2 hours from my location. At this time I was hopeless and impatient as it has been a week since I've placed my order. I canceled it through FedEx only to find out about 3 hours later that it was in a facility 5 minutes away from me. At this point, it was too late... They had processed the return and even though I could pull some heist and get it from that facility, I had no hope. So that same day we went to Best buy and had to pick the Mavic 2 Pro instead. I think I prefer it over the zoom.

    11: Barrel Distortion on the Pro will not be and cannot be fixed via a firmware fix from DJI. DJI knew this but decided not to inform the public.
    12: 1 Inch sensor is not actually using the full 1 inch sensor which means your not getting what you purchased. There is a major overheating issue with the sensor, DJI knew about this aslo prior to release also. fingers crossed the pro 3 will try to minimise the amount it rips off unsuspecting consumers it future releases.

BTW ... you can place 2 batteries under the Fly More bag's lower pocket where you only placed one. Ordered a "PGYTECH Propeller Fix Paddle Blade Holder Protect Paddle Clip". Hope that helps keeping propellers in place when packing in the Fly More bag or in my DSLR camera backpack.

    Hi Guys, On the phantom 3 we had the ability to use the ev scroll wheel as a button to switch to shutter speed but we have lost that now and I cannot re assign this option to aC1 or C2 also I cannot find a way to turn off the top avoidance sensor so every time I fly under something low it tries to land. Slao why does the video settings change after you set them in manual then change the flight mode to hyper lapse the shutter and ev etc. change so you have to reset them again before hitting the ok button to start your hyper lapse, very easy to miss and screws up your video as its now over exposed.

  • @thealien6900
    @thealien6900 5 років тому +1

    I agree with your #1 as I sometimes would like side obstacle avoidance! The only real complaint and I own both a 2 and a zoom (and a spark). Swappable cameras would be great but they wouldn't sell as many drones? Plus you need the other one when one breaks or crashes. I like the tight fitting back arms, just pull them out a bit at the last part where it is about to make contact. If you don't want to remove the props before putting into the fly more bag (or any case or bag) use a set of the pgytech prop holders $10 solution! 2 of my drones came UPS?1 I bought locally. I do think a user selectable memory for settings might be nice These things aren't inexpensive so I can understand, somewhat.

      This is the one complaint I also agree with. They should have included it and I would have happily paid more. I have been waiting for full OA since Yuneec teased it with that BS Intel crap. I am pretty sure it can't be help back by the software. I think it needs the sonar. Also, while I don't disagree when things are held up by software, it's nothing new. Do you know how much money I have to spend on my Inspire 2 for ProRes and uncompressed? 1000s and it's there but it has to be unlocked (unless you know any good hackers).

Yes, they can improve, it and maybe they will, but lets appreciate that this bird has it, and that it is amazing out of the box capability. If I was interested in professional quality smart effects I think I would be looking at aftermarket software interfaces. Don't know if that exists, but if it doesn't, it should. And maybe that can be another creative suggestion. Databyter

    Hi! I also have prblems:
    1- they could at least put digital zoom on the mavic 2 pro. I am totally disappoited that when I want to something from nearer, I have to fly nearer to it.
    2- my 3 batteries got swollen. They got very hot, inflated, and finally got cracks on them just to the right and left of the button. I had it checked, the quad was ok, the batteries still are ok and not worn out, but they are all swollen & cracked. The more I use them the more swollen they become. I am afraid that they may break down or explode, so I had to buy new ones. They told me it is because of the hot weather this summer, but as the leaflet said, I flew it in under 40 degrees Celsius.
    It uses a lot of battery, yes, but they should have taken a heat sink or something to help it not get hot to the point that they inflate.
    I am in Iran & we have no dji here. So there is no warranty neither any care program. We have to buy new batteries !
    Mavic pro worked much better, had no problem with the batteries after 70 charge times.
    3- the front motors get much hotter than the back ones. Much much more. I don't know why. Even in flying forth, all the 4 motors are working. It must be something with the design.
    I only bout it for the omnidirectional sensing which doesn't work in all modes. I am sorry why I bought it. I just fly for hobby and this battery problem disappointed me.
    I know many people had the same issue worldwide. In Thailand, dji changed the batteries for one I was in touch with. And many people had swollen batteries.
    If you like, you can see the batteries in my videos.

    One thing I've noticed is that the shutter reaction time is about double as slow as on the MP1. I did a comparison today and was pretty disappointed. When pushing the shutter button it sounds like the photo is being taken right away but theres a huge lag. Try shooting straight down on a moving car, if you see it on the screen and then push the button the car will be long gone before the photo is taken. On the MP1 its much faster. what makes it even worse is that there in only a 5 shot burst possible on the MP2 opposed to a 7 shot burst on the MP1. And yes, I did try it in MF and AF modes. Any ideas?
