great info and we smashed that like button real hard .....

Thank you so much - really appreciate that!

[@trevhome6580]

After watching this video, I checked some of my recent footage of "Quickshots" and you are spot on in terms of them NOT carrying the resolution over from the video mode. This is really annoying the first time someone has identified this in any KZbin video as far as I know. A really BIG thanks for this as I will remember to check this in the future. Brilliant video Mattheww.

[@TheDroneCreative]

It has caught me out too, so thought it was worth mentioning as something to check! Thanks for watching.

[@rayflanagan9970]

been flying drones for about 5 years now. Upgraded from my old Phantom 4 to the Mavic 3 Classic. These are great "reminder" tips really for ANY drone user. In my case, I'm now orientating myself to a new model. Good stuff here. Keep up the good work. Love your videos.

[@markfreiberg9906]

I’ve been flying DJI drones for over two years now, and did not know (until this great video) that “Normal” mode was the default mode even if the controller starts out in “C” or “S” position! Very cool to learn this. Even cooler that a guy like me in California can learn it and see it demonstrated by a guy in Ireland!

[@TheDroneCreative]

Going by the comments this mode reset when turning on the drone was unknown by many people! Super happy to help, and appreciate the feedback! Thank you!

[@MrAndyStenz]

Came here to say the same thing, actually! And the special modes not keeping 4K and such... all good to know! Thanks @mattewwbrennan

[@josephsowell490]

Mavic 3 Classic has been nothing but great, it would be upsetting to encounter these mistakes so thanks for this! Keep it up.

[@TheDroneCreative]

Thank you! Totally agree! Loving the Mavic 3 Classic at the minute, especially with the higher winds we are getting currently in Northern Ireland - the classic handles it with ease.

[@Cristiano_crixrj]

Excellent Video. Thank you ! I have bought mine yesterday, cannot way to make my flights with this beast.

[@CaminoAir]

I would still recommend waiting for the drone to lock onto 20 satellites. A few months ago Ian In London lost his Mini 3 Pro. He took off at about 11 satellites locked, but the Mini 3 Pro began moving slowly backwards (while Ian was focused on the Fly App) and it hit a tree branch over a ravine. It fell down the ravine wall and was unrecoverable.

[@ericcole8235]

Another great video, ty.

[@johnalexander4513]

Wow, I didn’t know a lot of these things!

[@gringofpv4332]

Thanks for the info. Just purchased a Mavic 3. totally different from all of my iFlights.

[@AryehBeitz]

You mentioned it briefly, but it's important to check wind speed and direction and preferably head out into the wind and not against

[@TheDroneCreative]

Great advice! Nothing worse than turning the drone around and realizing you have to fly it back in a headwind.

[@danielthomas7747]

I look almost all your reviews. Even if I had lot of drones and have couple of hours behind these recommendations are always good to consider. Thank you for sharing tips in your channel… great ! 🎉🎉🎉

[@GlenB1963]

Hi Mathew. Great video, as are all your clips. I just bought the classic, and plan to have it follow me in my boat through small rivers and creeks. When the battery is getting low and it decides to return to home, how do I make it return to the controller, instead of taking off in the wrong direction. Is there a setting that it will return to within a few metres of where the controller is? Thanks mate, and best wishes from Brisbane Queensland Australia 🇦🇺 👍

[@JulioFiadi]

[@j8rtUfh3evz]

Brilliant videos you've created for the introduction to drones. Do you have any advice on what video editing tools you use or recommend?

[@TheDroneCreative]

Thank you. I recommend and use Adobe Premiere Pro and InShot on the mobile! Hope that helps!

[@iPhoneSpy]

Great educational video. Thanks.

[@TheDroneCreative]

Thanks for such kind feedback. Hope the video helps!

[@piper1407]

Excelent! Thank you Mathew for this useful info. I'm a beginner drone pilot using DJI Mavic 3 Classic. I didn't realize APAS puts in unavailable mode 360 camera sensors to avoid obstacles in sport mode and that is possible be flying in different mode while button of flying mode is in another mode as Soort or Sunny so clicking again does that screen icon and this button coincided...

[@spink1000]

New owner here I learned a lot tnx 😘😘😘😘

[@JamesJohnson-sv6dd]

Great info! Thanks

[@tinof5829]

Thank you again for another great presentation. It would be very helpful if you could help out the "old-timers" (lol) and give imperial weights and measures as well. Thank you again.

[@CarltonSooHoo]

Thanks Matheww, one mistake I made was picking up the drone, walking to a different place, and forgetting to set a new home location.

[@TheDroneCreative]

Ah! Easy mistake to make! I made the same mistake one of my first times flying too!

[@shisholy7828]

Hello Matt, New M3C owner and thanks for the cautious advice. Will take Heed when I first launch.😊

[@TheDroneCreative]

Enjoy your new M3! It's an awesome drone!

[@wagnercs]

A nasty question: what if you need to live stream with the Mavic 3 Classic? Any reasonable cost/benefit?

[@AmitDunsky]

Professional and informative as always. Thank you, Mattheww.

[@TheDroneCreative]

My pleasure! Hope it helped!

[@alexr5557]

Brilliant- Thank you!

[@georgekelly1948]

Thanks for the reminder to check resolution in Intelligent Flight Modes.

[@TheDroneCreative]

Always worth checking! Thanks for watching!

[@EmfantSr]

Great tips. Didn't realize settings don't carry over from video mode to mastershots. Could have used that info this past Saturday.

[@TheDroneCreative]

Don't worry, we all have been caught out by that at some stage. I still occasionally get caught out by it if it resets due to a firmware update. Always worth checking!

[@mavs8888]

I can only drop a BIG COMPLIMENT for the way you made this important video for drone-users! Grazie/Thank you!

[@TheDroneCreative]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!

[@4WheelsOnTheRoad]

fantastic pointers there mate, greetings from Australia!

[@deanjericevic8912]

1. I was hand landing my Mavic 3 Classic drone. Left stick pulled down but to one side which led to propellers stationarized but residual yaw which flicked drone out of my hand & smashed the top LHS Obstacle Avoidance Sensor. 2. If the drone loses signal & goes into Attitude mode it has no GPS lock only a barometric one that controls height. The drone has high inertia & is very difficult to control. Apparently metal objects can interfere with the EM wave signal of the drone to controller.

[@jerrycarr]

Very Good Tips..Thank You..

[@TheDroneCreative]

You’re welcome 😊 Thanks for such kind feedback!

[@eprohoda]

how is it going?! dear! interesting content, 👍

[@caalinAbyan]

System hardware error dji mini2 how to solve that problem please!

[@Manihsi]

Couldn’t find my answer hope you will giving my that . how to calculate the optimal drone flying height, For example: When I see on my RC pro screen wants to know my drone 4 feet above the bridge or building or 30 feet far away to subject, Hope you understood my question, Thank you for your great tutorial 💯👌

[@harrisongould9460]

I didn't think I'd learn anything and I was so wrong. I might have learned at least 8-9 things easily. No more pounding of the chest for me...haha. That 'brake' button I needed(did not know it was there) just yesterday. I came within a meter of an electrical wire and almost had a heart attack.I may have to watch again.

[@techgod-h7b]

I wish their was obstacle avoidance on sport mode for the DJI mini 3 pro they would be awesome 🔥

[@techgod-h7b]

or with all DJI drones that would be sick

[@droneriobr]

Great video

[@TheDroneCreative]

Thank you!

[@jakeshumway9487]

I had a hawk kamikaze into my drone and it somehow ripped the battery out mid air and I wasn't sure where it landed because it lost connection before it fell so I recommend putting an air tag on your drone. I got lucky and found mine but it's still a risk

[@kyriakosdrivas1942]

Can you please do a tutorial mavic 3 pro best settings

[@roeslanddrones1927]

First, great vid. I have a problem that you might not have come across. My Mavic 3 Classic will only record for 3:02 and stop and start a new new from that point. That cycle continues thru out the mission. No one can tell me why. I've changed SD cards. I use SanDisk extreme. Anywhere from 64gb and up. I've reformatted to SD cards and drone. I've checked settings and biting about video length. Can you tell me is it the drone or user error? How long are you able to record a vid on your M3C?

[@martinslaterphotography3662]

Great content as usual Matt.. Picking my new m3 classic up in a couple of days😃 I'm upgrading from mini 2 so slightly off topic. Quick question? Or rather 2. I've about 9 months left on my dji care refresh for my mini 2. Can you tell me if I can transfer this from mini 2 to m3 classic and pay the difference or do I have to get a brand new 12 month pack for m3? Also as this is classed as c1 but can fly under a1 like the mini 2 will I have to register my m3 classic with the caa again or can I transfer that too from mini 2 to m3 classic.. Thanks 👍

[@dkdavehoare]

Another brilliant video Mattheww, some really helpful advice there, I'm buying this drone next month regardless of the disappointment around the C1 rating. Thanks.

[@TheDroneCreative]

Thank you. Yeah it's a shame, but I have been using the Mavic 3 in mostly A3 category conditions since it came out and I haven't found it to be too much of a hindrance. That being said I mostly fly in rural countryside locations! But I wouldn't be too concerned!

[@trevhome6580]

Maybe I am wrong, but I thought that the C1 classification on the new Mavic 3 Classic was positive in so far as you can now fly in in the A1 Category. Unless I have misunderstood the rules, I thought this means that you only need the Flyer ID (and Operator ID as you own and maintain it). Aren't the only flying differences between the Mavic 3 Classic & Mini 2 (sub 250g models) is that you need to keep 50m away from uninvolved people and not intentionally fly over them?

[@dkdavehoare]

Trev the CAA and DFT say they are not going to recognise the new C ratings in the UK and I think they say they will review in 3 years

[@trevhome6580]

@@dkdavehoare Thanks for the info David, I didn't realise that. Does that mean that it can only be flown in A3? Also, can you point me at the source of that decision please?

[@dkdavehoare]

[@digitalkiteaerial]

Awesome video. Big mistake?, wanting every drone DJI puts out.

[@sutv6754]

You do a great job as teacher. Thank you. Very helpful. My one question is. If I see AF on the screen in video mode does that mean I'm in auto focus mode? Or does it mean press AF in order to get AF. When I push AF is seems to be in auto focus but on the screen it says MF. It's tricky. Do you understand my question?

[@titchsmith8259]

Hi Mattheww - Great video. What frame rates are supported on the DJI Mavic 3 Classic when in Quickshots (i.e. can it use 4k 50fps)?

[@MattShockley]

Did you ever get an answer to this? Can quick shots and master shots do 24fps or still only 30?

[@TommyGunsDunleavy]

I have a dumb question - What is the best frame rate if i want to speed up my video in post? DJI Mavic 3

[@BoostedNDMiata]

My mistake, night filming and not having the lateral flight disabled. I was in tight spaces and became disoriented and landed/crashed safely in a pine tree 50’ up. Drone fell from tree during retrieval and broke an arm impacting the ground! Thankfully, DJI has a fantastic repair program and I had to drive back in a week at a cost only $85 US. Inexpensive mistake luckily for me.

[@TheDroneCreative]

Sorry to hear that! As you mention though the Care Refresh program is excellent. I damaged my Avata and had a new one within 3 days of returning the broken drone. Was very impressed.

Been flying for a bit more than 3 years at this point; the most important tip I can give to beginners is, don't 100% the sticks at low altitude! Anybody (experienced or not) will crash in no time.

hi matthew this what came up in the search 😊

Olá, Não estou conseguindo dar zoom na câmera, modo fotografia,do mavic 3 classic. Em vídeo consigo. Em câmera fotográfica não. Alguém poderia me ajudar?

[@GorillamansGarage]

Possibly unrelated.. but.. what part of the drone is responsible for time stamping the files on the sd card. Lets say you have zero sats and you take a picture.. how does the drone time stamp the file?

[@nopiatl]

Does anyone know if there will be a mavic 3 classic with the RC controller Black Friday deal if so please share it with me

What each battery has to have its own firmware update?!

[@TheDroneCreative]

Not all the time, but sometimes the batteries get updated with the firmware also!

[@drsocrates3]

Hi Mattheww, thanks for all the great content. Some great shots of NI in all your videos, speaking as a fellow islander! Are you aware of how the new CAA rules on drones (EU C1 classification not accepted in same was as EU) affect Mavic 3 Classic use in NI? Do the new UK CAA rules apply or does the NI protocol, which maintains alignment with EU rules in NI allow us to avoid this?

[@TheDroneCreative]

Hey! Thank you! Nice to hear from a local. That is a super good question and as of right now I don’t know the answer. Let me do some digging and get back to you!

[@drsocrates3]

@@TheDroneCreative Thanks! Appreciate it and it affects us all here. I know people in GB are pretty annoyed, so just not sure it applies here. Although I have a feeling that as the protocol is more for goods etc, it could well also apply here, as the CAA regulations are probably more similar in principle to road traffic regulations etc than anything goods related... Keep up the great work BTW

[@tonybot3]

i mean... isn't that the entire point of Sports mode? to turn off obstacle detection? Is there any other reason to use Sports mode?

[@FescueFreak]

DO you have the ND filters for the Classic yet?

[@TheDroneCreative]

Should have them this week!

[@eventsphotographykanpur3916]

SIR I WANT TO BUY NEW DRONE . DJI 3 CLASSIC /DJI AIR 3. WHICH ONE IS BETTER?

[@stantonkramer2986]

For the most part I agree with MB. Use the normal color profile unless you need to do something special in post. Most eyes will not be good enough to understand any quality gains with D-cinelike, HLG or D-log without an edited side-by-side comparison. And honestly, IMO LUTs aren't as fast or easy answers as some would make you want to believe.

[@tonybot3]

i disagree. There's no reason NOT to use D-log every single time. I don't think doing minor color correction is "special"..... its a mandatory part of the process. And you don't have to use a LUT to tweak the color, exponentially. This isn't about eyes seeing quality difference, its about allowing yourself the greatest possible freedom during color correction.

[@deanfordcreative]

Biggest Biggest Mistake: Flying in Sport Mode. Obstacle Avoidance is turned off so watch it. Otherwise you may encounter a "Rapid Unscheduled Dissassembly" event. Second Biggest Biggest Mistake: Drone Flare when flying in Sport Mode. Don't attempt returning to home in Sport Mode then stopping right when it gets to you. Yikes it will hit whatever is behind you. Trees, a person walking on a trail, etc. Flying with an obstruction above your head... Street Lamp, Tree, Power Lines, etc. Move out to a clear area. Flying near a high powered Power Line or Transformer station.

[@dkdavehoare]

Must admit when I first seen the cover photo for this video I thought you'd crashed it 😆

[@dkdavehoare]

I'm guessing that was the idea though ? Well it worked 😆

[@anthonyivory5711]

I’m new to drones why are people obsessed with how far a drone will fly BVLOS? With the excellent zoom on my drone why do I need to fly into trees?🤔

[@forgewire]

My biggest mistake was to put your stick’s settings from the previous video and crash it the very first time since I bought it more than 6 months ago

[@TheDroneCreative]

Oh no! What happened?

[@forgewire]

@@TheDroneCreative New controls seem introduced some inertia, the drone kept on moving after I released the stick and it went into the bush in my garden. The good thing is that the altitude was just 0.6 m, the props cut off automatically and the drone rolled gently on the ground and it happened on my property. Your controls are good for smooth video but not that good for precise flying. But I keep on trying to adjust, results are better😀

[@TheDroneCreative]

Happy to hear the drone is ok 😀 Yeah, that’s the “smoothness” settings. It adds a “slow down” when you let go of the stick or gimbal to keep things smooth, but as you mention it will make things a little less precise. It’s all about finding the setup that works for you. I am all thumbs so find a precise setup makes my footage jittery 😂

[@RAMSEYSPENCER]

maybe should not name it as 12 mistakes make by mavic classic and the classis just came out .. I dont think there are much mistakes yet been made by the classic .. LOL . .maybe you should just in general as over all mistake with most of drones ... but not classic LOL cause seems that does not apply to all drones in this case ..

[@paulshanesmith]

The biggest mistake a newbie can make is buying a drone you can only fly over fields, mountains and sea!!

[@kamikazekaos]

1 big mistake is buying the classic with C1 lol
