Also another tip is when in flight instead of using the Gimbal wheel at the back for up and down you can put your finger on phone screen and hold and you can then move Gimbal up down left and right, the wheel at the back will only let you move up and down hope this helps take care everyone.

[@DansTubeTV]

Yes! Awesome feature, thank you for sharing that 🚀

[@markgiles313]

Great stuff. Thanks, Dan. I’ve finally bought the Mavic Air 2, but I’m too chicken to fly anywhere beyond a field, lol.

[@DansTubeTV]

Awesome Mark! Keep flying in the fields and slowly adventure further away as you become more confident. These drones are unbelievably safe to fly and easy to navigate. Just take your time and learn all of the tips and settings: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5LPkJeterKBqLs

[@dewroc66]

DansTube.TV wait did you link the poor fella to this video ??? Hahaha I clicked it 3 x before I realized it wasn’t broke , just link to this same video 😂😂

[@DansTubeTV]

😂 This video runs through the menus which will help you navigate the menus on your end. When it comes to flying, it will take some time to feel comfortable while flying an expensive drone but it will get easier with time. It will become second nature to you - continue flying in the fields and then slowly try new locations! Good luck 🚀

Make sure that you are logged into your DJI account and more than 10 satellites 🛰️ have connected.

[@justincarlson3134]

Thanks

[@DansTubeTV]

Thanks for watching!

[@SixtoLuna_art]

can you use follow mode by yourself if you set the controller down?

[@DansTubeTV]

Yes, you certainly can. You can draw a box around yourself on the controller to start the tracking and then run away from the controller 🏃‍♂️

[@Droning-ON]

Good video Dan, a popular one too, although just to note that your FPV mode test wasn't in FPV mode :) FPV mode means that the gimbal tilts left/right as it's flying, you'll only see the result of this in manual flight, not while in ActiveTrack as you were when running. Hope that this helps!

[@DansTubeTV]

Definitely mate, thanks for the heads up! Can we collaborate with the Mavic Air 2 at all? 🚀

[@Droning-ON]

@@DansTubeTV it would be good wouldn't it although I feel that the Mavic Air 2 has now been done to death by us all, but let's think of a topic, for sure when I commence live-streaming, you'll be one of my first guests!

[@glennharmon2022]

can u also turn the camera to the left and right

[@DansTubeTV]

Yes you can, you can tap and hold on the screen to initiate the camera controls and then you can look left and right.

[@rolandojr.delacruz5624]

What version of dji fly app are you guys using how come my dji app is different i don't have quick shot ect.

[@DansTubeTV]

That is weird, maybe update the software? Or you could downgrade the software to a previous version that might be more stable? Try contacting DJI if you can’t find it after troubleshooting a few things. It should be there when you tap the switch modes button on your touchscreen.

[@rolandojr.delacruz5624]

Thank you sir keep safe always

[@rolandojr.delacruz5624]

The version i have is 1.4.0 is that right?

[@DansTubeTV]

Have a look on the DJI website, they will tell you what the current version is. If you own Android then I believe that you need to update through their website now.

[@rasmusskarstein1715]

Is there any way to get the gimbal to tilt more than 25 degrees upward?

[@DansTubeTV]

No, that is the limit 📷

[@IgnazSouza]

some options like phone charging and the FN button and auxiliary light are only available for Apple devices

[@DansTubeTV]

Hi Dan please help me, which means the red warning with the dotted line in the middle of a circle, in this video it is seen at the bottom at 0:32, 3:13, 8:36. This warning sign is not found in the mavic air 2 manual.

[@DansTubeTV]

I believe that the warning sign is related to the sensors. Seeing as the sensors were picking up on a few objects they were sending out warnings ⛔️

Can the dji mavic air 2 active track a horse rider

[@gooberminther3tik25]

There is another less obvious setting adjustment for zoom. Behind another door. My iPhone Savvy son fixed the problem. I now have 16mm of Camera View upon which I can tap to exit Setting Menu. I had found a "reach around" using Gimbal Calibration. Select the X upper left to exit Settings Menu.

[@BC-yw2tw]

Your video did scratch the surface only. You are correct the RTH function is very important but you missed an important feature. If you’re moving around you don’t want to reset on the screen which consists of more than just touching. You have off to the right a picture of the controller. Highlight it and the drone returns to you without playing around with the screen. If you move the drone tracks you. You should have a skip ad button. Longest ad I’ve seen on any site with no way to get out. Will subscribe on the off chance your future pieces have more complete content. Thanks

[@edheinlein3747]

As a new owner of the Mavic Air 2, I was really hoping that I would get some great info from your video. I guess it is my bad to think that you would have presented the info without zipping back and forth between views, and referencing what was on each screen as though I had been using it for years now, instead of just starting. When I tried to find your references to what was on the screens, you were already onto 2 other screens without me ever finding what your had been referencing 2 screens ago!! I offer this as constructive criticism only, you are not alone in this rapid fire presentation format of teaching. I guess I'm just too old and my mind is not as sharp as you youngsters, nor did I grow up with this technology, so it is not as "matters of fact" to me either. Now where did I put that owners manual.........

[@DansTubeTV]

Great point Ed, I have definitely tried to make a conscious effort to slow down the presentation of information with my future videos. You can always pause the video and apply the settings though, you can also go back and rewatch the point.

[@chadgilmore5046]
