DJI Mavic 2 Pro and Zoom - 10 Steps Before You Fly

[@bpersonnnnnn1]

The best on KZbin. More complete and very easy to understand. You are the GOTO for drones.

[@greggdelong]

Can I fly a Mavic Air and new Mavic pro zoom on the same I pad mini ?

[@2147jarhead]

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.

[@FlytPath]

Awesome and congrats on your first flights.

[@pinoynga]

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! 🙏

[@Collectmma]

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!!

[@FlytPath]

Thanks that so awesome to hear. Happy flying.

[@richardmiller9752]

You are so clear and precise and easy to learn from. Good Job, Richard Miller

[@FlytPath]

Thanks Richard

[@R3user-p5q]

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

[@martinwormald172]

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?

[@KwasnikPictures]

I get notification that your video cames out right when I finished unboxing... OMG, Well done, and Thank You!

[@billhart4707]

Just got my new Mavic Platinum. Your videos are AWESOME. Thank you for doing these!

[@midstaterustics4507]

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

[@williamlewis3694]

A very informative video.All my questions answered.I am very pleased with presentation and professionalism of This video.Thank you👌

[@mikekay6288]

Well presented and informative, as always. Novices like me need videos like this to guide and sequence setting up. Keep up the good work. Mike in Oz

[@danielsaredi]

Great turtorial for beginners and nice to see how other droners are working their way throught the setup. Excellent Job!!

[@rodrigoaparicio4861]

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.

[@Brrrrent99]

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.

[@Tomas.O.Sullivan]

going getting my zoom early next week so catching up on hints and tips ..great advice will defo be watching all your mavic 2 videos ..thank u

[@southcoast2008]

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.

[@FlytPath]

Thank u so much

[@raymondmcdonald7085]

Great video for me as a new Mavic 2 user. Is there a reason the video was slightly dark?

[@luisvaliente1241]

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?

[@themadgreek]

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!

[@vcdroneGR]

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!

[@alumahomeinspections7009]

Hi, I have had a Mavis 2 zoom for many years and I feel really satisfied with it. But since few weeks ago I noted a slow reaction to my commands than before. It takes long time to move to sides, rise up or fall down. The max height is now 400+ feet and something has changed with the drone, it moves slowly. Camera works fine and everything else is ok. Is this slowly reaction related to the deletion of DJI Geofencing limitations? Thank you

[@originalmindset5278]

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!

[@Quietman2025]

As per usual! crystal clear briefing👍👍👍🇬🇧 Thankyou

[@SigmaJAD]

Got my first drone, the Mavic 2, coming. Thanks for this clip. Going to follow all your reco's.

[@TomSpurlock]

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.

[@billjohnsonseattle]

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?

[@GrimrprO13]

Dude, just found your channel a couple days ago and i absolutely love your videos, so informative and entertaining, keep up the awesome work!

[@cameraplus7233]

Thanks for such a great introduction to a first time user.

[@cameronlala3848]

Best video I've seen, all the other videos people didn't know what they were doing

[@Totustuus2022]

Bravo! You are very clear in your explanation. Thank you and congratulations!

[@angrut]

German Silva Yes I agree with you, good information for the consumer

[@alberthilt]

Dones not matter which video of yours I watch (or watch again), I am amazed by your presentations! Great stuff Aldryn... keep them coming!

[@FlytPath]

🙏🙏

[@MORTONRICK]

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??

[@FlytPath]

That’s why I left it general to just check now. It always changes.

[@MORTONRICK]

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.

[@lorenilewis]

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?

[@FlytPath]

It will only tell you to recalibrate compass if there's an issue or if there's magnetic interference.

[@kenwalker4050]

Excellent video. Thanks for posting. Do you recommend buying the Mavic directly from their web site or through a reseller like Multicopter?

[@FlytPath]

Direct. If you use my links it helps my channel but it’s up to you. Either way I’d buy direct.

[@kenwalker4050]

FlytPath Ok, I’ll use your link. Thanks!

[@flytown9853]

Very good information, after I order my Mavic on average what's the timeline for delivery?

[@FlytPath]

I don’t know right now but when they first released they were shipping units the first couple days after purchase

[@SigmaJAD]

Got it, followed your steps. Many thanks.

[@mjordan812]

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.

[@MrSpiderfire]

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.

[@searles400]

MrSpiderfire is not on The Mavic 2

[@philanderson1200]

All great useful information. Liked and subscribed

[@Dannyjeon1]

Can you do a review based on countries you can and can’t fly? Just FYI care refresh doesn’t cover remote just drone.

[@linsrafaela]

Very informative video. Thanks!

[@mm-ng3my]

Great video, very informative, thanks

[@AMAJD]

I have a note 20 will that work for controller and any advise would be greatly appropriated. Tks.

[@martynstead7421]

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

[@simonburgess6931]

Great tutorial. Thanks very much. :)

[@steves3760]

Awesome video. Thanks.

[@angrut]

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..

Thanks for your support

[@rommelrdz3391]

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

[@derekreeves]

Incredibly helpful!

[@ericnordean88]

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.🤗

[@davidlynch8091]

Hi thanks a million times for this video your speech is so clear thanks .

[@tanoenaczycaitin]

Great video tutorials... just have 1 question? Do you usw care refresh on your mavic 2 pro? Do you recomend it?

[@FlytPath]

Yes I recommend it

[@VincenzoSims]

Besides calibrating the compass before you fly, should you calibrate the remote joysticks?

[@FlytPath]

You could if you see the numbers are off and the flights seem off

[@tiger_richardson]

Thx for the good tips

[@bmillay]

You did not mention the micro SD card speed. My drone pointed out the SD card was not fast enough for 4K video.

[@kymusician]

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?

[@FlytPath]

kymusician 11:45

[@kymusician]

Thank you, I missed that the first time

[@GStarbuck89]

I have the smart controller, would you recommend putting the SD card into the drone or the controller

[@FlytPath]

Always the drone

[@sli77der]

Do you have to do it evrytime you move to a different location the IMU calibration and the gimbal calibration?

[@FlytPath]

No. After the first time, I only do it if the drone acts weird.

[@hayypapi4281]

FlytPath so which thing you have to calibrate outside the IMU or campus

[@hayypapi4281]

I’m so lost in this drone penology

Great info, thank you!

[@JUNEORJUNE]

WOW VERY HELPFUL THAN MOST VIDEO

[@MrBulletscarz]

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?

[@short2939]

Does it necessarily to calibrate drone every new flight... Or it ll be calibrated every new place of flight..

[@dpcandra]

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)

[@snapper4u]

I would recommend moverio glasses but there is a djgo4 app flaw it won’t upgrade to the last software

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.

Very basic this time.. but will be helpful for Beginners.

[@chadgilmore5046]

I have 2 Mavics and have been flying for 18months now should I wait until I have more experience until I buy a dji 2 pro

[@adalex87]

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.
