Thank you for the advice video, and I would like to mention that I put off that favorite the Propeller Holder, Remote Control Stick Protector, and Camera Connector Adapter. 😊
hi M.S.A.H thanks for tuning in and the comment! I agree if you don't go with an EVA style case, a RC stick and screen protector are a good buy. There's a bundle with that, the EVA case for the drone and other stuff here: www.quadcopterguide.com/1fen
I would say ND-filters first, can´t do without them and a pair of PolarPro retractor leg extenders that will protect the sensors while landing. Good video, thumbs up from Sweden
Hi Magnus! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Much appreciated. Your right ND filters are a must have. Is spring on the way yet in Sweden? Down here in Germany it keeps knocking on the door and then the weather gets freezing again... you flying the mavic 2?
@@Quadcopterguide Pretty much the same here, on and off for now. Can´t wait for "real" spring right?!. Yeah flying the Mavic 2 PRO, love that machine. Got some drone videos uploaded on YT 😏
Hey Steve, thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Much appreciated! I haven’t tried an aftermarket gimbal cover yet but I could see how a better one would make it just a bit nicer. The legs I wasn’t ever interested in due to the extra weight and perhaps aerodynamic impact. Do you notice a difference?
@@Quadcopterguide The PolarPro gimbal cover has a few benefits to the DJI supplied one. It holds the gimbal and camera more securely, does not scratch the camera housing and is far easier to add and remove. The retractable legs lift the drone about an inch higher so the camera or rotors do not collect damp etc from slightly longer grass or hit the peg straps on the landing pad if not pegged down. As for weight etc., this is negligible and does not affect performance of the machine in the air at all. They also fold down against the drone rotor arms and fit in the case without the need to remove. Also I bought a case which I find excellent. This is the one I have: www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07HBMVBKG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 . It holds all the items from the drone and fly more combo pack, landing pad, 10" tablet, sun guard (for camera), ND filter packs (I have 2 packs of 3 atm) and the Skyreat Aluminum-Alloy Foldable Tablet Mount Holder. All items securely held together, protected from rain and knocks in a relatively small case.
Felix - great selection of accessories. I’m trying to convince myself that I ‘need’ the Smart Controller. It’s got real advantages. I use both Luminar and Aurora. Love both.

Hi Quadcopterguide, just subbed and thanks for the accessory guide and battery best practices! Bought my first M2P and going to fly it tomorrow, but totally a newbie. Have you looked at Moment, they have a kickstarter campaign with nd filters and anamorphic lens and filters for M2P and M2Z.
Nomad 24 hey man thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Much appreciated! Totally exciting about your mavic 2 Pro. Sweet drone. Be sure to check out the other mavic 2 videos on the channel. All in the mavic 2 playlist. One on best way to achieve sharpest focus and one on most cinematic settings. I’ve seen the moment lens. Looks interesting but also have heard that the sensor isn’t the greatest for anamorphic morphing :). Lets see. Wouldn’t mind to try it out though! Which mavic 2 Pro accessories do you think you will get first?
Yesterday I was flying the Mavic 2 Zoom. I am still thinking of getting a pro gimbal assembly or a pro drone for the many reasons I should get one. But, yesterday I found out that the zoom has major advantages. I was filming a tractor working in the fields. I was allowed to get up close to him. I checked my screen and thought I was way too close. I checked the physical aircraft and found out I could get another 15 meter closer. Just because I was able to zoom in while maintaining the 4K resolution. PS, in two weeks I will have to film _(with the big camera and Mavic)_ in Germany, in 4 different cities. Not sure yet which cities though.
Hey Edwin thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Much appreciated! The Zoom is nice to have to get that extra reach. What are you filming for in Germany?
@@Quadcopterguide I will be filming for a distribution company. They are all based near airports. But I'm able to get the drone up, yet not too high. Also, they're still working on a permit near an actual airplane, where they unload cargo. But in case the permit is not ready by than, I will have a Sony FS7 camera, where I can just film those clips with. Fingers crossed.
Quadcopterguide I have been flying a Phantom 3 Pro but just recently bought a Mavic 2 Zoom. I’ve been watching videos on it in anticipation of it arriving in the mail. Got it on Friday and have flown it twice so far. I love it! Your videos have popped up in my feed based on my previous searches. Thanks for taking the time to make these. People like me really appreciate it!
@@VistarCreative Very cool! I just recently looked at some Phantom 3 Pro footage I filmed a few years ago, and i can't believe the image improvement with the Mavic 2 Platform. You are going to love that Mavic 2 Zoom! Glad to see my videos pop up in peoples feeds ;). That's awesome. I do tend to invest a ton of time into these videos, I keep telling myself that with practice it'll go faster... What do you use your P3P for, and what will be the main use for the Mavic 2 Zoom?
@@Quadcopterguide I'm already very happy with the footage. I have not had a lot of opportunities to use my quad commercially. I covered an off-road race where of followed some vehicles around a track: ua-cam.com/video/NmDi-w20Ka8/v-deo.html and I have done one real estate video establishing shot. ua-cam.com/video/e4WAPfpvqCs/v-deo.html I've done some other shots for my demo on that same link. I'm going to try to get better at flying the Mavic and start advertising my services with my production company, InFilms & Design. I'm starting a UA-cam page called 3 Minute Flicks that I hope to have some aerial shots on as well. Just found your page on FB and liked it.
@@Quadcopterguide Awesome! I'm going to be in Munich in mid June. Let's connect via email and see if we can get together to fly and maybe make a video together!
Hi Felix, i dont have a drone yet but am considering a Mavic 2 Zoom. I love the idea of film making and what the drone can add. But i am a hobbyist with a long time interest in vvideo and photography. I am glad i waited so long (always a bit nervous about breaking the rules or annoying people) because bithe the Zoom and Mavic 2 Pro appear to e amazing pieces of tech. I am from Canada and we have new rules going into effect June 1. So i already got my basic drone license . I am looking forward to your next video
Awesome man. Of course you are spot on, on how drones can supplement ground based filmmaking. Nice to see you have done your research a bit and gotten the required paperwork for your country. Maybe there are apps out there by transport Canada where it makes it easy to find where you can legally fly, without having to worry. The Mavic 2 Platform has a lot of technology which has been refined for a few generations now. Just the other day I looked at footage filmed with my old Phantom 3 Pro. The difference is quite amazing. If you have any questions regarding the drones, which ones you should consider or just want help picking the right accessories, shoot me an email. It can be found on the channel about page or on the blog. Thanks for tuning in! Can’t wait to see ya in the next video.
Alberto Moncaglieri hi Alberto thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Much appreciated! The names and links to the software programs I mention are in the video description. It’s the little area under he video that you can expand to see more test. Hope that helps!
Very nice vid. Good choices IMO. I think its going to have to be the Pro Controller for me. Expensive, but that 1000 nits will be great (expecting mine in 2 days, yay!)
@@Quadcopterguide I've got the Mavic 2 Pro and love it. It was quite an upgrade over my Phantom 3 Pro. But, its hard to see the various screens I've tried so I'm hoping the Pro Controller will be magic.
Nice! That Mavic 2 Pro is a huge step from a Phantom 3 Pro. I remember how amazed I was by the P3P compared to my P2 with GoPro. 😂 The screen is very nice on the Smart Controller. Will be interested to see what you think.
Dear racing drone, with fully open flight program, can be configured for you, for beginners in settings, but experience is invaluable. M2 precedes time!Runner very strong, work with Gopro
Hi Tundra, It should be Link #2 in the description. And yes they are super helpful. I would much rather wipe off the pad than get grime on the Mavic 2 Pro. The Landing Pad doesn't really get that dirty actually.
I purchased a similar pad from Amazon and the construction is quite good. Main issue is preventing the pad from being blown by wind or rotor wash from the drone, when not using the three stakes (launching from a hard surface). Large V paper clips may work and would not obscure the rotors. We also have a 5 ft diameter pad, and it works quite well for the Matrice 210, without using the stakes. These are good investments, and also be sure to frequently use a compressed gas duster to blow out debris from the motor areas.
Hey Mark thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Much appreciated! I fully agree with you that the landing pads do come in handy. Sure it’s another thing to lug around, but luckily compact enough. What do you about with the Matrice 210? That thing is a beast.
Wow. Nice collection. I’ve only got 2 toy style drones, but am itching to try fpv. My Mavic Pro rarely gets taken out anymore. Same for P4P. How often you fly yours still?
Really helpful video. Your composure on the footage is nice and although edited you did just enough to bring out what was needed. I am on the brink of buying a drone. I have taken photographs for many years so I believe the Pro will offer the best opportunites for photography. Nice to find a good European channel as being in the UK we are not that far away. I have subscribed and am now going to watch more of your videos
ARD's Corner, thank you so much for your kind words. I am still getting a hang of making these videos and therefore investing way to much time into them haha. Comments like yours help motivate to keep pushing on. You are absolutely right about the Mavic 2 Pro being the drone for Photographers. Thank you for subscribing! Be sure to check out my Mavic 2 Pro review if you haven't already. Note the images in that video were just jpg's out of the cam. Do you have any drone experience at all? Flew a friends etc? What kind of gear do you use on the ground for your photography?
Quadcopterguide Never flown a drone...but do have a nitro rc helicopter and a rc plane. I still use a Canon EOS 1D MKII. Had it since they were released around 2004. Yes its old now and only 8.2meg....but it taught me about light and forced me to maximise available light and shutter speed etc. The newer models can take far better low light images out of the camera but I always feel the camera only captures the image the person takes it. I have decent glass for it inc a few L lenses. I have thought about a Canon 1DX but while I can still enjoy what I have I wont upgrade. Plus many people get caught up in the mega pixel belief of the more you have the better. Whrn in reality it is a lot to do with sensor size and spread etc. Any way I have bored you long enough lol. I am enjoying your videos. One tip I can give about photography is.....always manual if you can and take numerous of the same shot using different settings do you get the feel what your device can do.....so when an opportunity presents itself you already know the settings. Appreciate your reply
@@ardscorner Agree with you on many points. People in all camera segments from smartphone cameras to DSLRs can get distracted by MP. How many of us Camera users really print Billboards? If so we need a medium format anyways. It's all about how large those pixels are, and of course the sensor as a whole. I got into Photography back with my first class in High School. Pentax K1000's i think we used. Then got my feet wet in medium format with a used Yashica Mat 124G. I loved the detail i was getting. My first Canon was an Elan 7e. Then the first DSLR the Rebel XT (EOS 350D). From there to a 50D, and now to a Sony A6500 for 4K video and awesome Autofocus while videoing. I am enjoying getting AEB (5) Images with the Mavic 2 Pro and getting some nice HDR images out of them. But as you put it, practice makes perfect. Oh, i got my start with nitro powered RC Planes as well :). Man, that was some time ago. Fun times. Drones connect the two hobbies!
Quadcopterguide The Rebel was a defining camera in DSLR world. I have one as well....but man that kit lens was awful at any focal ength. I feel we will have a lot to talk about once I have the drone. Very much enjoying your channel it is telling me all I need to know....thank you for your time and attention to details
@@ardscorner No worries, I'm glad the content is helpful. Regarding the Rebel, i was in College at the time and spent so much on the body i only had my older Sigma (cheap ones at that) lenses. Perhaps the Kit lens would have been better. Haha. I've learned and am investing more in glass now than back then. Glad to have you onboard. Shoot me an email when it's time to make the purchase, it's available on the Channel About page or on the blog. Take Care!
Hey Paul, thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. That is a great question. Ironically i have a lens shade for my older Mavic and like you i haven't used it. In reality the lens shade only shades the camera if you aren't perfectly aimed at the sun, and then it stops helping just a few degrees from that angle, so really, how useful is it. Perhaps i should look into this more but for now I don't use any. Plus most of them seem to reduce airflow over the intakes, which is a turn-off for me. Which drone you flying Paul?
@@SJMDronesMedia Haha! I know how it goes. Do you find you need the Phantom 4 Pro often over the Mavic 2 Pro? I supposed i don't normally have a need for 4K60P, so my Phantom 4 Pro+ stays at home most of the time. Also what do you think about the Yuneec in comparison to the others?
Quadcopterguide the Yuneec Q500 is only 1080p but it’s a reliable stable video platform, my P4P is my favourite drone it’s just quality, although not as portable as the Mavics lol, it’s an expensive hobby, I use the iPad Air or Pro as my screen , regards.
Awe man, I have been itching to try out an Ipad Pro. Is the anti-glare good enough? It seems like you need to travel with a pop-up tent or umbrella to see everything clearly on something like that. The Phantom 4 Pro is really good. Be sure to keep in touch with DJI Phantom 5 Rumors on our blog! www.quadcopterguide.com/dji-phantom-5-rumors/
Hey, thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Unfortunately I have to disappoint you :), that was just an image I transferred to the Smart Controller and made full-screen. You have the Mavic 2 Pro or Mavic 2 Zoom?
Haha no problem man. It would be cool to be able to load your own splash-screen. But I’m sure that feature is pretty low on the priority list of the Devs. Nice the M2P is a very capable drone. Do you fly mainly for personal type stuff or do you fly paid gigs with it?
@@CLOUDVISUAL Sweet! I can't wait for that time in the future when i finally get to try out one of the big boys :). What type of work do you normally shoot? Inspire 2 jobs are hopefully lucrative, that's not a cheap piece of kit.
Hi there! The mountain shots were at Walchensee, Bavaria. I recorded them in DLOG, so it was recorded in a very flat color profile. So yes, it was edited.
yup they feel much more solid when plugging and unplugging, they do take a bunch of space.. The plugs without ground are much thinner thought. I like that the metal contacts are round, they don't bend like the ones in the US do.
Hey thanks for writing. If you follow this link it should select the right one. So with this one I store 3 mavic 2 batteries. While charging only one or two. store.dji.com/product/dji-battery-safe-bag?as=0059&ch=Comments&from=pc-cart-title&pbc=y9nEKXjI&pm=custom&vid=31301
Did I hear that right, your in Germany?! If so,that is Awesome. I’m a journey level carpenter and have my own wood shop as well. I buy many German made tools. German engineers are far superior as tool makers versus the ones here in the USA.
Hey Tundra, yea you heard right, I'm currently in Germany :). Very cool about your wood shop. Do you have a link to some of your work? Would love to check it out. German engineering is pretty good. I think the automotive guys are crapping their pants a bit because of Tesla, but let's see. :)
Hey Esteban, thanks for stopping by! A car sunshade works similarly. The only thing is that the fabric doesn’t get stretched as tight on the sunshades I’ve used over the years. Just make sure it’s tight enough to be relatively even. If it’s too windy the sunshade may lift off but when it’s that windy he question is would you be flying the Mavic 2?
Lipo bags do not keep the lipo batteries safe, lipo batteries when they go bad they tend to blow up after puffing up but they don’t always puff up when they decide to blow up.
Hey Keith thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. Much appreciated! I agree the lipo bags are better than nothing but not the best. I will be reviewing my LiPo Safe which I purchased a while back. Only thing I have found that is rated for what we really need.
i felt more than half of the accessories you dont really need. Pad - well just handheld it saves you time and hassle and tall grass doesn’t really matter if it isnt overloading your gimbal. lipo bag - seriously... that size for what? smart controller - if its not for the sub zero there isnt really a point and if you aint a pro it doesn’t matter and pros usually will get inspire anyway. protective case - well mavic needs to be easy to carry and weight less, if you are hiking the weight of the case will add up and its not that fragile. Car charger - how often you going to drive an hour to a place that you want to fly and just happened that your battery is empty? I’d personally recommend a cover bag, propeller protector to make the drone easy to put in the bag, simultaneous battery charger.
Hey thanks for your comment. The larger lipo bag fits the multi-charger with 4 batteries. Super handy. The Smart Controller like I mentioned is a nice to have. The advantages are detailed in my Smart Controller review. My light weight case is the bag I linked, weighs a few grams. I like the car charger because it’s universal. Doesn’t weigh a lot or take up a ton of space. Great to just keep in the car. You fly the mavic 2 Pro or mavic 2 Zoom?
It would be kinda dishonest of me to say I like one DJI Product or accessories one more than the other because I own Nothing with the DJI brand on it well Tello but I don't think it would really count,anyway I long flow it to death.back when it was released it lasted ah 2.5-3 months! But I do like keeping up with The Leaders of the Industry. There the best no problem saying the truth! And you did nice job showing me the stuff that one day I will brake down and Buy the best. I'm still calt up in the Rest drone after drone! But👍

Got it on Friday and have flown it twice so far. I love it! Your videos have popped up in my feed based on my previous searches. Thanks for taking the time to make these. People like me really appreciate it!
@@VistarCreative Very cool! I just recently looked at some Phantom 3 Pro footage I filmed a few years ago, and i can't believe the image improvement with the Mavic 2 Platform. You are going to love that Mavic 2 Zoom! Glad to see my videos pop up in peoples feeds ;). That's awesome. I do tend to invest a ton of time into these videos, I keep telling myself that with practice it'll go faster...
What do you use your P3P for, and what will be the main use for the Mavic 2 Zoom?
@@Quadcopterguide I'm already very happy with the footage. I have not had a lot of opportunities to use my quad commercially. I covered an off-road race where of followed some vehicles around a track:
ua-cam.com/video/NmDi-w20Ka8/v-deo.html
and I have done one real estate video establishing shot.
ua-cam.com/video/e4WAPfpvqCs/v-deo.html
I've done some other shots for my demo on that same link. I'm going to try to get better at flying the Mavic and start advertising my services with my production company, InFilms & Design. I'm starting a UA-cam page called 3 Minute Flicks that I hope to have some aerial shots on as well. Just found your page on FB and liked it.
Nice work man! Crazy colors in those rocks. Reminds me of Sedona, Arizona. What camera do you use for your ground based shots?
Nice video! What part of Germany do you live in?
Hey Kelly, thanks for stopping by and the kind words! We’re near Munich. Let us know if you’re ever close ;)
@@Quadcopterguide Awesome! I'm going to be in Munich in mid June. Let's connect via email and see if we can get together to fly and maybe make a video together!
Hey that sounds like a great idea! Let’s talk.
Nice Video! Thanks
Hey thanks for watching and taking the time to comment Brad! Are you flying a Mavic 2? Which one?
Hi Felix, i dont have a drone yet but am considering a Mavic 2 Zoom. I love the idea of film making and what the drone can add. But i am a hobbyist with a long time interest in vvideo and photography. I am glad i waited so long (always a bit nervous about breaking the rules or annoying people) because bithe the Zoom and Mavic 2 Pro appear to e amazing pieces of tech. I am from Canada and we have new rules going into effect June 1. So i already got my basic drone license . I am looking forward to your next video
Awesome man. Of course you are spot on, on how drones can supplement ground based filmmaking. Nice to see you have done your research a bit and gotten the required paperwork for your country. Maybe there are apps out there by transport Canada where it makes it easy to find where you can legally fly, without having to worry. The Mavic 2 Platform has a lot of technology which has been refined for a few generations now. Just the other day I looked at footage filmed with my old Phantom 3 Pro. The difference is quite amazing. If you have any questions regarding the drones, which ones you should consider or just want help picking the right accessories, shoot me an email. It can be found on the channel about page or on the blog. Thanks for tuning in! Can’t wait to see ya in the next video.
Im sorry could not understand the names of the softwares for editing... could you write down the names please ?
Alberto Moncaglieri hi Alberto thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Much appreciated! The names and links to the software programs I mention are in the video description. It’s the little area under he video that you can expand to see more test. Hope that helps!
Which size landing pad did you feel was a good size? I see DJI has three choices? Thx
I got the medium one I believe. Perfect size. 75cm or so.
Very nice vid. Good choices IMO. I think its going to have to be the Pro Controller for me. Expensive, but that 1000 nits will be great (expecting mine in 2 days, yay!)
Thanks for the kind words Marshall! You have the Mavic 2 Pro or the Mavic 2 Zoom?
@@Quadcopterguide I've got the Mavic 2 Pro and love it. It was quite an upgrade over my Phantom 3 Pro. But, its hard to see the various screens I've tried so I'm hoping the Pro Controller will be magic.
Nice! That Mavic 2 Pro is a huge step from a Phantom 3 Pro. I remember how amazed I was by the P3P compared to my P2 with GoPro. 😂
The screen is very nice on the Smart Controller. Will be interested to see what you think.
Nice video!👍
Hey Thanks Hamop! What drone do you fly?
Hi, I fly : Walkera 250 runner, dji air, dji m2pro, jjr 36(indoor). Xiro4k-crashed
Nice! The Mavic 2 Pro is very sweet. What do you think about the Walkera 250 runner? Can it carry a GoPro?
Dear racing drone, with fully open flight program, can be configured for you, for beginners in settings, but experience is invaluable. M2 precedes time!Runner very strong, work with Gopro
Wow. Sounds very cool. What do you think the top speed is of the walkera? Does it work with FrSky remotes? Or spectrum?
Didn’t see the link to the landing pad? I should really pick one of those up. Thx
Hi Tundra, It should be Link #2 in the description. And yes they are super helpful. I would much rather wipe off the pad than get grime on the Mavic 2 Pro. The Landing Pad doesn't really get that dirty actually.
I purchased a similar pad from Amazon and the construction is quite good. Main issue is preventing the pad from being blown by wind or rotor wash from the drone, when not using the three stakes (launching from a hard surface). Large V paper clips may work and would not obscure the rotors. We also have a 5 ft diameter pad, and it works quite well for the Matrice 210, without using the stakes. These are good investments, and also be sure to frequently use a compressed gas duster to blow out debris from the motor areas.
Hey Mark thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Much appreciated! I fully agree with you that the landing pads do come in handy. Sure it’s another thing to lug around, but luckily compact enough. What do you about with the Matrice 210? That thing is a beast.
Thanks for sharing nice choices
Hi Rick! Thanks for the kind words. What drone are you flying these days?
Quadcopterguide I have a mavic pro and mavic 2 pro and P4P with about 15 toy drones I’m like you need to have a lot of battery’s i have 4 to 5 of each
Wow. Nice collection. I’ve only got 2 toy style drones, but am itching to try fpv. My Mavic Pro rarely gets taken out anymore. Same for P4P. How often you fly yours still?
Really helpful video. Your composure on the footage is nice and although edited you did just enough to bring out what was needed. I am on the brink of buying a drone. I have taken photographs for many years so I believe the Pro will offer the best opportunites for photography. Nice to find a good European channel as being in the UK we are not that far away. I have subscribed and am now going to watch more of your videos
ARD's Corner, thank you so much for your kind words. I am still getting a hang of making these videos and therefore investing way to much time into them haha. Comments like yours help motivate to keep pushing on.
You are absolutely right about the Mavic 2 Pro being the drone for Photographers.
Thank you for subscribing! Be sure to check out my Mavic 2 Pro review if you haven't already. Note the images in that video were just jpg's out of the cam. Do you have any drone experience at all? Flew a friends etc? What kind of gear do you use on the ground for your photography?
Quadcopterguide Never flown a drone...but do have a nitro rc helicopter and a rc plane. I still use a Canon EOS 1D MKII. Had it since they were released around 2004. Yes its old now and only 8.2meg....but it taught me about light and forced me to maximise available light and shutter speed etc. The newer models can take far better low light images out of the camera but I always feel the camera only captures the image the person takes it. I have decent glass for it inc a few L lenses. I have thought about a Canon 1DX but while I can still enjoy what I have I wont upgrade. Plus many people get caught up in the mega pixel belief of the more you have the better. Whrn in reality it is a lot to do with sensor size and spread etc. Any way I have bored you long enough lol. I am enjoying your videos. One tip I can give about photography is.....always manual if you can and take numerous of the same shot using different settings do you get the feel what your device can do.....so when an opportunity presents itself you already know the settings. Appreciate your reply
@@ardscorner Agree with you on many points. People in all camera segments from smartphone cameras to DSLRs can get distracted by MP. How many of us Camera users really print Billboards? If so we need a medium format anyways.
It's all about how large those pixels are, and of course the sensor as a whole.
I got into Photography back with my first class in High School. Pentax K1000's i think we used. Then got my feet wet in medium format with a used Yashica Mat 124G. I loved the detail i was getting. My first Canon was an Elan 7e. Then the first DSLR the Rebel XT (EOS 350D). From there to a 50D, and now to a Sony A6500 for 4K video and awesome Autofocus while videoing. I am enjoying getting AEB (5) Images with the Mavic 2 Pro and getting some nice HDR images out of them. But as you put it, practice makes perfect.
Oh, i got my start with nitro powered RC Planes as well :). Man, that was some time ago. Fun times. Drones connect the two hobbies!
Quadcopterguide The Rebel was a defining camera in DSLR world. I have one as well....but man that kit lens was awful at any focal ength. I feel we will have a lot to talk about once I have the drone. Very much enjoying your channel it is telling me all I need to know....thank you for your time and attention to details
@@ardscorner No worries, I'm glad the content is helpful.
Regarding the Rebel, i was in College at the time and spent so much on the body i only had my older Sigma (cheap ones at that) lenses. Perhaps the Kit lens would have been better. Haha. I've learned and am investing more in glass now than back then. Glad to have you onboard. Shoot me an email when it's time to make the purchase, it's available on the Channel About page or on the blog. Take Care!
Does the CrystalSky 7.85” have a micro SD card reader built into it? Thx
It has a microSD slot yes. www.dji.com/mobile/crystalsky/info?as=0008&ch=Comments&from=dap_unique&pbc=y9nEKXjI&pm=custom
any thoughts on lens shades ? I have one but havn't used it.
Hey Paul, thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. That is a great question. Ironically i have a lens shade for my older Mavic and like you i haven't used it. In reality the lens shade only shades the camera if you aren't perfectly aimed at the sun, and then it stops helping just a few degrees from that angle, so really, how useful is it. Perhaps i should look into this more but for now I don't use any. Plus most of them seem to reduce airflow over the intakes, which is a turn-off for me. Which drone you flying Paul?
Thanks for sharing, regards.
Thanks SJM! What drones are you flying these days?
Quadcopterguide I fly the Phantom 4 Pro, Mavic Pro, Mavic 2 Zoom, Yuneec Q500+ it’s a big bus lol.
@@SJMDronesMedia Haha! I know how it goes. Do you find you need the Phantom 4 Pro often over the Mavic 2 Pro? I supposed i don't normally have a need for 4K60P, so my Phantom 4 Pro+ stays at home most of the time. Also what do you think about the Yuneec in comparison to the others?
Quadcopterguide the Yuneec Q500 is only 1080p but it’s a reliable stable video platform, my P4P is my favourite drone it’s just quality, although not as portable as the Mavics lol, it’s an expensive hobby, I use the iPad Air or Pro as my screen , regards.
Awe man, I have been itching to try out an Ipad Pro. Is the anti-glare good enough? It seems like you need to travel with a pop-up tent or umbrella to see everything clearly on something like that. The Phantom 4 Pro is really good. Be sure to keep in touch with DJI Phantom 5 Rumors on our blog! www.quadcopterguide.com/dji-phantom-5-rumors/
Top video 😃😃
Thanks thanks!
Excellent
Hey thanks! Which drone are you flying most these days?
Which tablet mount is that one? Thx
That one is built really well. I like it. It's link 8 in the description. Feel free to check it out!
Really want to know how you got your logo on the splash screen of the Smart Controller
Hey, thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Unfortunately I have to disappoint you :), that was just an image I transferred to the Smart Controller and made full-screen. You have the Mavic 2 Pro or Mavic 2 Zoom?
@@Quadcopterguide Appreciate the honesty, you saved me quite a few Google searches! Flying the M2P
Haha no problem man. It would be cool to be able to load your own splash-screen. But I’m sure that feature is pretty low on the priority list of the Devs. Nice the M2P is a very capable drone. Do you fly mainly for personal type stuff or do you fly paid gigs with it?
@@Quadcopterguide I fly commercially in the UK. Mostly use the Inspire 2 and P4P. The M2P is my travel and timelapse drone.
@@CLOUDVISUAL Sweet! I can't wait for that time in the future when i finally get to try out one of the big boys :). What type of work do you normally shoot? Inspire 2 jobs are hopefully lucrative, that's not a cheap piece of kit.
Where did you take those mountain shots? Have you edited it at all or is that direct footage?
Hi there! The mountain shots were at Walchensee, Bavaria. I recorded them in DLOG, so it was recorded in a very flat color profile. So yes, it was edited.
round plug sockets germany.....i had no idea , i like it though
yup they feel much more solid when plugging and unplugging, they do take a bunch of space.. The plugs without ground are much thinner thought. I like that the metal contacts are round, they don't bend like the ones in the US do.
Which DJI Battery bag stores 3 batteries the small or big ?
On the store page they write 1 or 2
Hey thanks for writing. If you follow this link it should select the right one. So with this one I store 3 mavic 2 batteries. While charging only one or two. store.dji.com/product/dji-battery-safe-bag?as=0059&ch=Comments&from=pc-cart-title&pbc=y9nEKXjI&pm=custom&vid=31301
Did I hear that right, your in Germany?! If so,that is Awesome. I’m a journey level carpenter and have my own wood shop as well. I buy many German made tools. German engineers are far superior as tool makers versus the ones here in the USA.
Hey Tundra, yea you heard right, I'm currently in Germany :). Very cool about your wood shop. Do you have a link to some of your work? Would love to check it out. German engineering is pretty good. I think the automotive guys are crapping their pants a bit because of Tesla, but let's see. :)
Can I just use my car sun shade?
Hey Esteban, thanks for stopping by! A car sunshade works similarly. The only thing is that the fabric doesn’t get stretched as tight on the sunshades I’ve used over the years. Just make sure it’s tight enough to be relatively even. If it’s too windy the sunshade may lift off but when it’s that windy he question is would you be flying the Mavic 2?
Классные видосы!!! жду еще!!!
Hey thanks for the kind words. How strong is your English game? ;)
Lipo bags do not keep the lipo batteries safe, lipo batteries when they go bad they tend to blow up after puffing up but they don’t always puff up when they decide to blow up.
Hey Keith thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. Much appreciated! I agree the lipo bags are better than nothing but not the best. I will be reviewing my LiPo Safe which I purchased a while back. Only thing I have found that is rated for what we really need.
i felt more than half of the accessories you dont really need. Pad - well just handheld it saves you time and hassle and tall grass doesn’t really matter if it isnt overloading your gimbal. lipo bag - seriously... that size for what? smart controller - if its not for the sub zero there isnt really a point and if you aint a pro it doesn’t matter and pros usually will get inspire anyway. protective case - well mavic needs to be easy to carry and weight less, if you are hiking the weight of the case will add up and its not that fragile. Car charger - how often you going to drive an hour to a place that you want to fly and just happened that your battery is empty?
I’d personally recommend a cover bag, propeller protector to make the drone easy to put in the bag, simultaneous battery charger.
Hey thanks for your comment. The larger lipo bag fits the multi-charger with 4 batteries. Super handy. The Smart Controller like I mentioned is a nice to have. The advantages are detailed in my Smart Controller review. My light weight case is the bag I linked, weighs a few grams. I like the car charger because it’s universal. Doesn’t weigh a lot or take up a ton of space. Great to just keep in the car.
You fly the mavic 2 Pro or mavic 2 Zoom?
It would be kinda dishonest of me to say I like one DJI Product or accessories one more than the other because I own Nothing with the DJI brand on it well Tello but I don't think it would really count,anyway I long flow it to death.back when it was released it lasted ah 2.5-3 months! But I do like keeping up with The Leaders of the Industry. There the best no problem saying the truth! And you did nice job showing me the stuff that one day I will brake down and Buy the best. I'm still calt up in the Rest drone after drone! But👍
Charles Wall hey Charles! Thanks for dropping by again. Much appreciated. What ended up happening to the Tello?
Thanks for talking slow most of the drone channels they talk so fast you can comprehend what their saying.
