[@helium9000]

I have an Inspire 1 and a Mavic 2 Pro. Now the Mavic is my prefered drone. Easy to get in the air.

[@michaelkahn-way9701]

What was the temperature in Antarctica?

[@OllieTownsendIII]

I have a Mavic 2 Zoom. The zoom allows for some crazy good photos using the Super Resolution photo mode.

[@topseller6011]

You can buy this on Amazon amzn.to/2HMwkVx

[@Luc-1991]

I bought the tello a couple of days ago as my first drone but the connection is weak as piss. Still fun to fly tho, and i can't expect too much of a drone as cheap as the tello. Probably going to buy a mavic pro 2 before the year ends unless there is something better for my budget by the time.

[@ctran1955]

one of these days, i'll try and justify getting one for myself but for now i'll just watch other people's cool footage :)

[@Neumah]

one of these days, they will become self aware and just fly up to you and adopt you, like a stray cat.

[@photorectoby]

Oooh, I can't wait till tell my GF that's how I ended up with a new drone… honey! it just followed me home…

[@rafaelrivas8910]

@Dewey Shattuck I had the Spark!!! and loved it !! I sold it though a few months ago and decided to upgrade to the Zoom. Haven't used it much though :-(

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Will this drone be good to film my work projects? I want to film close to my equipment like when were working bulldozer excavator...

[@dgaines5748]

I have the mavic pro 2 and the smart controller and u can't go wrong with it. Yes its expensive but u already made a big investment and the controller works in both hot and cold weather, much better than using a phone or ipad

[@RangerRickTV]

Maybe I missed it , but I thought DJI drones cant fly in weather bellow 32 degrees.

[@surrogatemarker]

Totally agree about the rock steady signal range and video transmission range of the M2Pro.. much better than my Inspire 1&2 and my M600 I use with higher end cameras.. by far the best photo and video drone for the money and to travel with.. maybe even the most reliable and easy to setup and fly

[@kcg795]

Any issues with GPS in Antarctica? When I flew my Mavic 2 Pro in Fairbanks, AK, there were some days where it wanted to wander even though it was connected to plenty of satellites. I asked DJI about this and they warned me that I may experience just GPS glitches in the polar region and I should use caution. Some days, it was rock-solid stable. But there were some days that I really had to stay on the sticks and make corrections. I'd be pointing the stick forward to go straight, but it would start to drift to the left or so. Part of this could be because I was so close to "true-North" and "magnetic-North." So maybe you'll less likely have issues in near the South Pole.

[@JonasGrumby]

Is it a problem shooting at 4k 30p on a drone that can move at over 40mph?

[@paulsullins]

I just purchased a Mavic 2 Pro, your video is quite helpful!

[@photorectoby]

awesome! Enjoy!!

[@MrBertus007]

curiosity !! when do you guys think we'll se the mavic pro 3, 2020? 2021? or do you think it will be later than that?

[@dgaines5748]

Who knows but I'll bet it will be $2,000. US or more. No thanks DJI I'll buy the skydio 2 or evo

[@BjEddy1]

nice nice shots off the ship and thanks for the comparison between your MP and MP2 signal issues om the ship. I have a MP2 Zoom and love it. I started over 2 years ago with the Mavic Pro, its still in the Philippines, I blame pilot error for not paying attention to the signal. thanks for posting

[@seanjameson3544]

The single biggest reason to get a Pro 2, is 10bit Dlog and the variable aperture. Low light video is noticeably better as well. The footage doesn't look so much a like a GoPro anymore. The controller holds an iPad mini, which is more than enough.

[@chmith27]

i didn't know the ipad mini can fit into the controller thanks for sharing that

[@dgaines5748]

Yeah so it can overheat and shut off mid flight. Don't fly with an iPad ever!!

[@Audittr2108]

Beautiful footage in Antarctica.

[@rsadeghian]

so my question is which one? Zoom vs Pro. Is it worth having a bigger sensor for $250 more and lose all the versatility of the Zoom ( Dolly effect, Zoom, Super high resolution..)?

[@neibula5117]

Is it allowed to fly a drone in antartica? Like mini 2

[@chromaticvisuelle]

I read that at f8 it's very blurry ?

[@TeslaCanadaEh]

Great video thank you ! However I understand your feelings about the added cost of the new DJI Smart Controller.. I had those feelings as well until I got one.. all I can say is .. Wow.. the brightness of the screen, the even better signal strength and the integration very well done. No more fumbling trying to mess around with setting up phone, etc. Also just a note, I do carry the original controller with me as a emergency backup.. however since owning the new DJI Smart controller it makes the whole experience less cumbersome and the screen so easy to see even in almost direct sunlight ( We still have Winter in Canada , reflection of sun off the snow ) and yes I agree ND & ND-PL filters help keep those camera settings in check and produce great shots! Cheers from Waterloo, Ontario Canada ~!

[@philmontdoc]

I'm a travel videographer- flown the Phantom 3 and Mavic Pro- all over the world- but had some REALLY scary incidents taking off/landing from boats and almost lost it in HaLong Bay/Europe/Mexico... but somehow managed each time to not lose it, just barely. This has made me scared of flying from any ship. However, I may be filming a trip in Antarctica later this year and aerials from the ship (as you have done) would be important- so I'm intrigued by your experience taking off/ landing- and is the Mavic 2 Pro worth an upgrade for this feature alone? Thanks

[@andyblackburn9675]

How is the crash avoidance? I have gotten stuck in branches too many times with my original Mavic Pro. I do real estate photography. Does the camera housing seem more robust? A fall of 8 feet busted my gimbal on the original Mavic.

[@andyblackburn9675]

@@_12pk not too late. Looking to upgrade later this year or next. Thanks!

[@coolwaterhubby5208]

I would information on where to get started in commercial flying drone business, if possible. Also does the Magic pro 2 have night vision for flying at night.

[@davidbarton7937]

Enjoyed the Video. Thanks for posting. I have the Mavic 2 Pro, having upgraded from the original. I am off to Antarctica at the end of the year and had few queries. I appreciate the rules but at the end of the day it is going to be up to your tour operator if they let you fly. Did you have any compass calibration issues? Calibrating while on land and not make any changes while on the ship has been suggested. I've flown other DJI drones (P1, P2, P4, I1, I2) and occasionally had issues when taking off from areas where there is lots of metal (from bridges and piers). Do you have any suggestions or tips. Thanks in anticipation. David B

[@uptwnmullu2736]

How do I contact you about specific questions...

[@simondobbins7509]

I could tell you where a picture guy straight away when you said there was not a major difference in video?? The pro 2 shoots 10bit h.265 @100Mbps thats a fairly massive difference !

[@jayp6945]

what are the tracks that you use for the music? Love them GREAT JOB!

[@myisraeltrails]

How did the polarizer help? I find with my Mavic Air that the polarizer filters are useless as you are not up there to adjust them.

[@photorectoby]

If you are careful about the angle you are flying, in relationship to the sun, it can help cut the glare on the water.

[@mauitang]

is it hard to take off and land on the move boat? thx

[@enriqueiglesiascanellas2695]

Hola me encanta tu explicación del mavic pro 2, tengo un bebop 2 que le he dado mucho uso, y realmente me interesa el dji? Hay tanta diferencia?

[@photorectoby]

Existe una gran diferencia. Mucho más tiempo de vuelo y fotos y videos de mayor calidad.

[@starrwilson6818]

Thank you. 💜

[@jeremiahokeefe1569]

Hey legend great video, phenomenal footage. My question is, to get the best photos and videos, what would you have the settings to for the camera?

[@photorectoby]

It really depends on the situations. I generally try to keep the shutter speed double your frame rate - if shooting 4k at 30p your shutter speed should be 1/60. Set your ISO to 100 and your apeture to whatever setting you need for proper exposure.

[@LordMoebius]

Did they ever fix the lense distortion problem?

[@photorectoby]

I am not sure I know about this issue. I don't see any distortion.

[@PaddyStubbs70]

I currently own a Hubsan Zino (my third quad), which is an astonishing little drone for the price, but am now considering a more professional machine and have narrowed the field down to the Autel Evo or DJI Mavic Pro 2. Do you think the latter is worth the price difference?

[@dgaines5748]

Not really plus with all the nfz your better off with the evo

[@jimsjourney3926]

Very impressed with Drones now a days, the technology in them is just amazing. But I must admit I am always blown away by a Polariser on a lens, that iceberg below the water line was just spectacular! Lovely review thank you.

[@AounCon]

Would love to see a video on smooth cinematic footages and how to capture! Thanks and love your work!

[@AugmentedGravity]

So many months later and people still say its name wrong. Its Mavic 2 Pro, not Mavic Pro 2

[@ghosttjr2]

Great machine! But can you fly nose-in and do you bank in your turns? Because I see 90% of drone pilots just don’t do that, I m always a little disappointed because pilots don’t really understand how to fly a drone

[@slickrick411]

I don't know why when you said, ok bye bye at the end you reminding me of Bob Ross. Lol

[@lowellabraham6966]

Nice coverage man!

[@michaelkahn-way9701]

What was the temperature in Antarctica?

[@PramodKarthikeyan]

i have the dji mavic 2 pro it is really good and my first high quality drone

[@davidribeiro6905]

40 seconds in and the footage and pictures shown are stunning. What a trip that must have been.

[@photorectoby]

Thank you David - It was an absolutely amazing trip!

[@rotospace]

Epic footage! DJI can just keep my orders on file for every new Mavic release. You're very blessed to have traveled to Antarctica. I'll have to add that to the 'ole bucket list :)

[@jankarlsson8341]

I must say I have issues with the connectivity to my M2P unfortunately, I'm getting the new controller and hoping for an improvement. I really like your footage, did you sharpen in post and/or use and picture profile if I may ask?

[@photorectoby]

I use standard profile and just added a touch of contrast in post using FCPx. Thanks!

[@Lexxo777]

Great video, thanks Toby. Looking to buy one. Can you do a short video on your recording settings and post production workflow re video? (D-log, lut's, etc?)

[@haseebahmed6278]

Awesome review. Crisp, clear and to the point!

[@arronlandrum3244]

Thanks for the footage, and expect my maverick 2 pro in later this week.

[@SportbikeUnitedRiderz]

Superb review and wow footage in Artic is stunning. I would love to visit and shoot footage as well.

[@PeterMakholm]

Great video. If you want an amazing screen, I can recommend the crystal sky

[@jobakar2994]

I'd be going to Antarctica too soon. Did you need any permit before flying your drone in Antarctica? Cheers!

[@domfree7710]

regulation was placed by government while there isn't any government there.

[@99Z155]

Nice video. Did you play Randy in That 70's Show? LOL

Nice... Thank You

[@tundrawhisperer4821]

Hey…that’s my home town in the video, SEATTLE, nice!

[@photorectoby]

I live here! :)

[@larbueno]

Hey man! Looks like you are healthier than ever...as if you left a handful of lbs. in Antarctica. Next time you go there just buy 2 tickets and I will bring my M2P and film yours from the air! A bargain if there ever was one!

Still love my Mavic Pro Platinum 👍🏼

[@conikapernick3713]

How did you manage to fly in Antartica?

[@DroneIt-bf9xp]

You should get the Smart controller.

[@photorectoby]

I do love the Smart controller but the portability is an issue. I often have a camera bag stuffed and that smart controller is not small.

[@dronevideotravel7518]

Amazing ! This vidéo is wonderful 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

What An Awesome Job You've Done Here Buddy , Well Done and Keep up the Good Work , Cheers.......

[@DroneLivreBrasil]

[@macpybb6010]

actually, the name is called mavic 2 pro instead of mavic pro 2, mavic 2 zoom instead of mavic zoom

[@jozefroman2110]

yes he should get the name right it is quite simple and important

[@zer0-in27]

Yeah...he should!! It was a bit annoying listening to him saying Mavic Pro 2. 😂

[@dgaines5748]

Who cares

[@PacmannProductionsTv]

Any footage above the ice wall or of it at all?

[@photorectoby]

What ice wall? Is this a flat earth joke?

[@PacmannProductionsTv]

@@photorectoby no, not a joke. Really curious about this ice wall that I have seen pics of, and I'm curious if it's true or not. I know the Govt does have a treaty with every Nation to keep citizens off Antartica after a certain distance, so I was curious.

[@photorectoby]

@@PacmannProductionsTv This isn't a thing. All countries that do research on the continent of Antarctica have signed a treaty banning mineral extraction (oil/gas/ore etc mining) and are not allowed to militarize but there are international research stations ALL over the continent including the interior. You can find maps of these locations. At certain areas along the coast where the larger glaciers meet the ocean you can find ice walls- they are the edges of these glaciers as they enter the water. No big conspiracies here. Most of what we saw in Antarctica was beautiful snowcapped mountains. Last summer in the Arctic we did travel along the largest ice wall in the northern hemisphere and I have a photo here instagram.com/p/Bk81s3SAR-u/?

[@driewiel]

@@PacmannProductionsTv Yes but if you have magic-wonder-dragon-testicle-potion then you can go to the Ice Wall. Any more questions?

[@PacmannProductionsTv]

@@driewiel yea. What desired you to be a smartass bitch for no reason? To make you feel better about yourself...

[@johnnymcleanvlogs]

I will buy it

I got a drone the other day I didn't really want to drop a lot of $$$$$$$$$ for a drone so for $30.00 figured this was n't too bad.

Hi Toby, I was wondering if you needed a permit to fly in Antarctica? I'm hoping to take aerial photos down there next summer, but the legalities sounded tricky.

[@simonjpierce]

Also, great review thanks! Stunning footage.

[@photorectoby]

You do need a permit and rules are fairly strict. Start by contacting your tour operator and be willing to share footage with the company can help.

[@MuahMan]

Wow, good info. I'm assuming this is a fairly expensive trip?

[@simonjpierce]

@@photorectoby Thanks very much for the response! I'll do that :)
