DJI Mavic 2 Pro Review

[@smalltownsavouries]

"Little does Kraig know is that he will sell the drone in two months time." -Narration by James Earl Jones

[@smalltownsavouries]

Well, like, I’m not gonna not buy it.

[@chrisbrockhurst]

This is how you do a drone review, without actually doing a drone review.

[@davidkvincent]

thanks for flying your drone machine at my wedding.

[@phanuels7045]

Why your music are always so relaxing, so cinematic, plus your narrations, its just so great!

[@larbueno]

Really gorgeous footage and a very relaxed pace. You have created one of the finest M2P videos, period!

[@lukaskuth7195]

Hey Kraig, you're not being entirely fair to the hyperlapse mode. Yes it saves a movie file on the SD card which is in HD but also, you get to save the RAW DNG files and those are way better even than 4K! you just gotta turn this option on. This allows you to edit each frame in lightroom!

[@MortenSvane1]

Yes, and this is far far superior in every way to the crappy file the app exports. I didn't realise this until I compared the two. I shot a hyperlapse of a sunset and it looked like garbage in the app, to overexposed and the colours were off. When I got the raw files into lightroom, adjusted a but, exported a jpg's and then imported it into premiere and colorgraded it, it was a world of difference and looked really good. It the process isn't really that bad, timewise.

[@nomad-media]

Oh no! The dreaded double punch. We've all been there! For hyperlapse mode, set it to capture RAW photos (those will be 4K) and then you can stabilize in post. MUCH better results.

[@nomad-media]

Awesome! Love your work btw. Looking forward to seeing more M2P footage!

[@LupusTheGamer]

- I don't have a drone - I am not a filmmaker - I don't even take a lot of pictures with my phone - I am not a KZbinr - I don't plan on becoming one or buying a drone in the distant future AND I LOVED THIS VIDEO WHY?

[@MsAris25]

couses you will be a future videographer!! welcome to the family!!

[@VitorMadeira]

The music was really special. ;)

[@Sam_Taylor_Cooper]

because we are all human, and loving beautiful things

[@LupusTheGamer]

@@MsAris25 Who knows? Maybe someone will get me a camera, or my parents will buy me a drone, or maybe ill invest in a camera with my first paycheck. Thanks for the warm welcome ! :)

[@feliciafullwood]

Yesss! Been waiting for this. Just got mine and I couldn't be more excited

[@agrayasa1008]

love this great in real life drone review. you've not just explain the tools but also the user behaviour. that's what we need --- we see it on online, we use it in real life. thank's.....

[@epvideos6476]

Hey Kraig! Thanks for the video. To answer your question about why the Mavic Pro 2 vs Air has better video connection is because the mavic Air works on Wifi connect and the Mavic 2 Pro uses Ocusync. Ocusync is a far superior transmission system! Wifi connection can get spoiled by almost everything around you. thanks again for the video!

[@ponderinghiker]

Stumbled upon your video today and very much enjoyed it. Thank you for the “review” of the new Mavic.... well done....

[@ukservin]

OMG that donie soot where you are on the ground and zoom out between the trees is amazing

[@TheQuadView1]

Great video Kraig! I can definitely relate on starting recording when you thinking you're stopping and vice versus. So frustrating. For the 107, if you study Tony Northrup's study guide. You'll be good. I passed first time with only studying his guide.

[@BuddBieber]

A great video! Nice review that wasn't a review. I've been flying my Mavic Pro for about 2 years now, but will be ordering the Mavic 2 Pro hopefully next week.

[@websilone]

Hi Kraig, I was thinking about asking you if it was legal to fly drones over all these cities, especially NYC, but seeing you talking about these 107 test, I assume it's not... So in general, how do you deal with local regulations about flying drones ? Do you just go and fly the drone and see what happens if you get caught ? or perhaps you just don't mind ? I don't live in the US so I don't know much about the US laws but here, in France, it's very restrictive... so basically, if you are not lost in the middle of nowhere you can not fly the drone...

[@wildcall32]

Boris Louboff Very restrictive here in the U.K. too. We had a couple of incidents recently with numpties flying drones over Edinburgh recently (without CAA permission). The police are pretty hot on chasing this nowadays and he was prosecuted. www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-edinburgh-east-fife-44739279

[@DaveBowman]

Pretty much the majority of what's in this video doesn't look legal to me. I guess Kraig knows what the risks are though... if he gets caught or if his drone comes down and injures someone

[@alexjohnson2031]

This is an amazing video man! Super well done.

[@shaneth138]

Best Mavic 2 pro footage on youtube easy.

[@HazyHope]

Holy moly 1:53 I didn't expect that, Inception vibes for sure

[@kenor7880]

That vertical vertigo was awesome! 👍🏻

[@silasgotsch4458]

9:34 In my production company we call that "negative filming". Happens all the time...

[@rickwelin9773]

NEGATIVE FILMING! Love it :)

[@Jones_Media]

Your drone footage is always epic ( even the spark lol ) !! I can never get mine to look as crisp as yours 😩

[@BrianBakerCA]

Loved this video. Great stuff man! How many weddings did you shoot this year?

[@Mulholland1972]

I enjoy watching your videos Kraig especially the drone footage

[@JNVideoPhotoproduction]

Thumbs up! Nice video, thanks for sharing your thoughts and great skills not only with the drone but with video edition as always.

[@valramos2003]

I don't know why but your voice over works very well with the drone shots.

[@Duranafy]

Amazing work! Pleasure meeting you on the trail.

[@ToddLarsen]

Great video footage! The colors and textures are so amazing and awesome! Best of luck with the Part 107. I'm going for my part 107 also. I hope More and more enthusiests practice common sense while operating there U.A.S. going forward.

[@NeemorsWorld]

Awesome video. I love the long term use/reminiscent style reviews.

[@henrico10]

dude come so far! KILLING IT!

[@datfilmco.3819]

Yep, definitely on my kit list for the future!

[@ejpmusicandvideo]

Great video man! Beautiful crispy footage.

[@ice_ryda]

FYI u're not stupid. I believe u once said it was ok to make mistakes. Great video Kraig

[@Misshermionefan]

All of these shots are incredibly stunning! I just took my 107 and while it's hard, if you study a lot you should be fine. I would pay attention a lot to the chart/chart supplement example problems because for my test they had a lot of those. But my instructor said every test is different so who knows. Also, another reason to study a lot before taking it is that it costs 150$ to take it, even if you fail. But I'm sure you won't lmao side note: you just inspired me to want to take a road trip around the country once i graduate and get a lot of great drone footage!!

[@AlexAbsolute]

It looks like a beast, I’m not going to upgrade yet as I’ve other things to sort first. Great video man, some awesome footage even if it is cropped in

[@emsluckylove18]

Such an amazing video! The drone shots look stunning!!

[@slocated]

Im okay with that 13 minute lead up

[@Ollinho12]

Really class video fella. Enjoyed hearing your insight

[@bkrstf]

so if I'm right, mavic 2 zoom doesn't have wide mode, amirite?

[@vertigev]

How are you able to fly it in the city? I feel like I can't fly mine anywhere without breaking at least 37 rules... (Socal)

[@drgjengdahl2709]

I was looking at your channel for a new video, and it's only been 2weeks since this video was released. feels like last year!

[@2292fa]

Interesting how the FAA locked down the airspace since these 2018 drone flights in your video. Can you still fly your drone in BK? From AirMap looks like that’s airspace needs clearance from the FAA now.

[@RonyQuinones]

Good job! This video is so helpful. Thank you Kraig Adams.

[@notyetperfect6769]

Verticals paralxe video sometime soon?

[@ChadDavis556]

do you have the original nd filter or u got different brand?

[@jpivko]

Default color is looking beautiful.

[@mantaspetrauskas2201]

Nice video especially shots in NewYork I wish I could have DJI mavic 2 pro I could explore more, take photos from above.

[@miguelangeln9470]

Hi, I'm thinking to buy a drone, but one of my big concerns is that in Barcelona it's ilegal to fly drones anywhere. When I've traveled abroad, in many places it's forbidden to fly drones. How do you do it?

[@originalsbysean1336]

Is the commercial pilot license hard to get Kraig ? How did you find it ?

[@paulpayne6373]

Hi Kraig why did you call the ability to zoom in on the Mavic 2 Zoom a gimmick at 0:25 ? To the best of my knowledge that drone has the capability of a 2X optical zoom.

[@SplixerDEV]

You can honestly see at 1:24 how cold the room really is, there is "smoke" seen comming out of his mouth if you look closely

[@MRInuzaki]

OMG all those shots look amazing

[@mfmg1000]

Just renewed my Part 107. It's worth it. Interested to hear your experience in studying for/taking the test.

[@kyletaggart]

MFMG so what does the 107 grant you? Freedom to fly legally wherever? Like Central Park?

[@mohamedalsawaialsawai9883]

I really liked this video very interesting And really enjoyed watching and listening to this piano plays..thank you pal

[@mohamedalsawaialsawai9883]

Mavic 2 pro is not just drone ....more than worth to buy this drone

[@2292fa]

Kraig - are you going to get a Mavic Mini? Light weight?

[@EagleTastic]

Good Work Kraig! Looking forward to your "proper review" of the Mavic 2

[@marting974]

Question : Do you take the time to get all the legal authorisation to fly a drone in the various country you use it ? Globally the laws are really differents from country to country and often require specific permits and authorizations. Many creators contents show amazing drone footage but never say if it's ok or no to do so. Easy example, for Canada you need a certificate for any use of a mavic type drone under uncontrolled airspace and it's totally forbidden in every national or regional parks. Would like to have feedback from your personal experience, how to do manage those rules ?.

[@Ultrarmx]

Matt Johnson has a video on getting drone license.

[@IRamOne_w]

Is it allowed to fly in city over buildings and in central park? Thanks

[@1known2]

Lovely edits.

@kraig what mic is that? Is it wireless???

[@chrismorenomccarthy8487]

Hey kraig! How do you get in and out of the crop mode.

[@DavisInDuval]

HILARIOUS that you’ve been flying and doing all those weddings for years without your Part 107! Ha. I’m about to get mine as well. I’m using the Tony and Chelsea Northrup video to study. Makes it less intimidating!

[@tomascunzolo]

Amazing video, explanations are very good too! Congrats!

[@wtaprecon]

You can try Smatree power station for Mavic 2 pro !!

[@InfiniteElliott]

rad. makes me possibly want to upgrade from the Mavic Air. never touched the intelligent flight modes on any drone, gotta check em' out soon prob.

[@EthanBares]

I've been interested in buying this drone. A couple questions :) 1. Did you shoot it 10 bit and/or d log? and 2. Did you notice any barrel distortion and what did you use to correct it (did you notice any loss in quality)?

[@dallasmaher]

Hey Ethan, yes the barrel distortion is noticeable in Full FOV. Correcting it doesn't really make a noticeable difference in sharpness from my testing. I mostly shoot in HQ mode for the longer focal length... Which is sharper than the Full FOV on the whole.

[@Aerialsky]

Loved this vid! Thanks!

[@ce-750pilot3]

You may not want to get your Remote Pilot’s License. When you study for the test, you will discover that your nice city footage is prohibited. But, landscape flying is just as fun!

[@EliMBrown]

I've watched the drone shot at 0:30 about 5 times now and it awe struck me every time

[@EliMBrown]

Okay so this whole video is amazing so I'm going to rewatch it a couple times.

[@nana-kofidarku8768]

This might be off topic but you should make a what’s on my iPhone video

[@benjamming883]

i dont get why hyperlapse is a feature that requires processing? cant we just film normal 4k for ages then speed it up in post? someone enlighten me!

[@MortenSvane1]

You could, but you wouldn't achieve the same look and feel :)

[@benjamming883]

@@MortenSvane1 I don't understand why though? What about the feature makes it look any different to speeding up regular footage? Thanks though

amazing footage always 😊😊👍👍🌈🌈🌈

[@CarlosMartinez-rk2bt]

good luck 👍💯💯

[@mustafaozer4987]

That was good

[@JoshMusicandVideos]

How do you usually deal with flying in the city? You know, with JFK and Laguardia and whatnot Pretty sure NYPD and other enforcement would make a scene about it :|

[@maplemaps6901]

Great video, Kraig! I know Griffin Hammond recently did a podcast about getting his pilot's license. Episode 73: griffinhammond.com/podcast/ All the best! -Sam

[@joblesse]

this review is somewhat touching..

[@carrie7036]

that was the best god damn plug i've ever seen

[@LexElls]

Look at all those helpful drone classes on skillshare!

[@michaeldbliss]

this was so good, the vibe in your videos is just something else, hard to explain, but so so nice

[@OfTwoLands]

Really nicely done, love the pace. Received our Mavic 2 Pro a few days ago, very impressed so far :)

[@curtis.strange]

Isn't all the city footage illegal? Typically it's forbidden to fly over populated areas

[@imjyun]

was gonna say the same thing! he said snucked up, so he is committing a crime i guess

[@jessicap2924]

Also its illegal to fly on mount hood. Unless he is some how getting a permit and I know you can in some places and it's hard to get, I would like it if he made a video about how he goes about it. So far I think he is just taking a chance and has not been caught yet. I know for a fact that in national parks if you get caught they can confiscate your drone and won't get it back.

[@magdielb]

I’ve never wanted a drone. But I love this video. Makes me rethink my first sentence.

[@eirikskarstein9964]

Love your style Kraig, keep it up! So inspiring.

[@RM-ud9tf]

Fantastic video ! What program are you editing with? And do you use ND filters?

[@mon17razor72]

Thanks for this review! I just got my Mavic 2 Pro after I saw this video!👍
