DJI MAVIC AIR - ALL Intelligent Flight Modes - EXPLAINED!

[@hidoshi1994]

Got my Mavic Air less than a month ago, taking my time with practicing. Your video was exactly what I needed before starting to play with the Intelligent flight modes, well explained! Thanks mate!

[@flywithjet1783]

Love this video. Today I tried all the modes and it was an amazing experience 🙌🏼💪🏼

[@ChristopherSvanefalk]

Just got my Air and this video was by far the best intro to the flight modes that I found anywhere - even better than the official tuts from DJI. Well done!

[@DroneSupremacy]

Thanks a lot Chris, means a lot! Have fun with your Air, it's amazing! :)

[@DrFedericoBaenaQ]

Mike, are you using manual exposure or automatic, and if you are using manual, could you instruct us a little about what settings you had because it looks great! Was it 4K or 1080? Thanks for answering!!

[@DroneSupremacy]

In this case for demonstration purposes I used auto and “normal” color profile. Otherwise I try to use manual as much as I can + Nd Filters. my latest video is about this exact topic, check it out! Hopefully that helps :)

[@DrFedericoBaenaQ]

Well it is awesome even so! Thanks and keep up the good work!

[@ivankace3541]

I dont mean to be offtopic but does any of you know a way to get back into an instagram account..? I stupidly forgot the account password. I love any tips you can offer me!

[@jabarijaxton2339]

@Ivan Kace instablaster :)

[@ivankace3541]

@Jabari Jaxton thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and im in the hacking process now. Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@Alluvian567]

What I undertand for the tap and fly is the usefulness is that once you tell it to fly somewhere, you can still yaw and tilt to get a nice airborne dolly look which would be quite hard otherwise. But whether you actually want or need that is going to be very personal. I really like cinematic mode because if I am going straight and want to turn it is almost impossible to make that look smooth without some digital smoothing after the fact which I don't have the software for. Once I am turning you can keep it smooth with fine yaw inputs but going from the center stick deadzone to any kind of yaw move is always a little jerky unless you are in tripod or cinematic.

[@TheSpatulaCity]

2:35 That circle shot was the best one of yours I thought. It reminded me of "bullet time" shots from the movie, The Matrix.

[@elefilosofia]

Thanks!! Very col video!! I have ordered my Mavic Air and can't wait to try all these settings!! Your video is incredibly useful!!!

[@ShawnLandersz]

just got the Mavic Air, found this video to be a looooot more helpful than the actual mavic tutorial. thanks!

[@DroneSupremacy]

Thanks Shawn! Much appreciated :) Which flying mode is your favourite?

[@ShawnLandersz]

i literally just got it today, the batteries and the remote are still charging, will do my first flight in a couple of hours :D

[@DroneSupremacy]

Aah gotcha. Have fun on your first flight then! :)

[@marcomark8]

Excellent Video! That is so great of you to put all those links below. Especially the Timestamp and Intelligent mode names.

[@heraldhangly]

I just got the air man and took it for a basic est flight yesterday! Got some sick shots! But can't wait to try some of the quick shots in some open locations! Its so fun to fly!!

[@maxkielbasa3324]

That Rocket shot was the most awesome drone video I ever saw!!!!

[@HirayaTV]

Tripod and cinematic modes are the best dude

[@jeanpierreopdebeeck]

what height, and what setting to show the earth like this, on timeline 1:44 min?

[@kendallcollier3076]

I just received my Air and I’m glad I found your videos. Very nice! You do a great job of explaining these modes.

[@mlinardo]

I have the spark but WOW you make me want the Air. Thanks for your awesome review 👍

[@DroneSupremacy]

Haha thank you Michael, means a lot buddy!

[@reyab5914]

I liked the way you showed the different features of the MA...pretty simple...cut n dry...direct to the point...I am new to drone videography and already loving it...I have a MA but still in the learning phase...maybe when the weather get better here...I'll try the features on my MA as well...

[@DroneSupremacy]

Thanks Rey! Hopefully the weather gets better for you soon! I think that's something we are all hoping for :)

[@harryyubank]

Question, in any of the flight modes (lets say circle) could you choose a house instead of yourself? And have the drone circle around said house instead of you? Thanks

[@RonaldBrown59]

Well presented Mike. I need to use the Intelligent flight modes more.

[@ToneyFranco]

I just got mines yesterday and I’m going to fly tomorrow. Thanks for this video.

[@geoffreylau4172]

I love how you clearly reviewed and presented every single mode. I had my Mavic Air but don't know how to set the Distance/Rotation method you demonstrated at 2:06, is it because I watched the demo video so the information didn't show up? May well try next time I fly the drone.

[@DroneSupremacy]

Hey there :) You simply need to tap on the mode again to enter the settings for that particular mode - on some modes you can tweak the distance, on others you can play with the rotation (clockwise/anti-clockwise), as well as the speed. let me know if you need some help with that!

[@kaloyanchanev7888]

Моят първи дрон - DJI Mavic Air току-що пристигна. Благодаря за чудесното видео, ще следя с интерес !

[@DroneSupremacy]

Благодаря! Успех с новия дрон и най-вече много приятни моменти :)

[@drrozzyable]

Bro is the dji mavic air have itself 360 cam built-in when u doing asteroid mode? Or you attach mavic air with insta360 one x? Ur drone litttle planet mode was awesome,Thx 🙏

[@johncurran4935]

Nice tutorial and a good place to start for a novice for a quick start explanation. It would be good to see you setting parameters just to save time for us noobs😊. Just out of interest the location looked familiar to me, where was it?

[@johncurran4935]

I just watched it again.... I see this time you have shown the parameters being set 🤣

[@AngeloPoulis22]

can the "spotlight" also do the backwards? meaning drone in front of you, and camera facing you as you walk, and so the drone actually flies straight backwards facing you. possible?

[@vcmovie1]

Hi there my friend, I have a question about the Mavic Air. Can I use circle instead of point of interest for filming an object ?? Adjusting seems to me much easier. 🖐🖐🖐

[@ReviewPetti]

Thank you so much for the video. I’ve learnt from your other video as well. I want to learn how do I call drone back and take it in hand. I have rented a drone to learn flying but don’t know how to call it back. Pause button didn’t work well.

[@muddyboots-mac]

In Circle mode, once you touch GO, 1. does it automatic recording? 2. in 1 complete circle do you have to touch STOP or it stop automatically.

[@DroneSupremacy]

1 - It starts recording automatically. 2 - it stops automatically when done and then just hovers

[@Welsh_Sim_Farmer]

Do the quickshot features work while the subject is moving or only while it is static?

[@stubbs6996]

Nice! Glad to see those modes all explained. Very helpful. Hope Y'all​ had fun!

[@DroneSupremacy]

Thanks Chris, I sure did! Glad you enjoyed the video :)

[@Afaulubis]

Do u know how to shoot 4k in quick shoot mode ?

[@SeeChelleFilm]

Brilliant video, cheers!!

[@diveactive]

This has probably been asked. Can it record you walking forwards so the drone would be flying backwards? How close can you fly towards or next to the water without losing it? I fear flight to far away.

[@shaughanask571]

Thank you. It would be great if you could draw a box around your "point of interest" as I am not sure how it knows what you want as the POI...

[@marienverx1852]

Good video, gone try it my self. (nice beach and all your footsteps.. :-) ) Question: Is "Quick shots -> Circle" a bit the same as "point of interrest"? seems they both circle around you. Does this drone searches the opbect to point to with video image recognision? (I have another drone aswell, which used the GPS coordinates of the remote controll 3th: did I miss the track feature with wakepoints? That you can draw a track on the map picture.

[@PackyMcf]

Question: Does the Mavic Air use an ACTIVE HOMEPOINT? - If you have if follow you on a bike for instance... do you have to manually land it where you are? If it decides to "go home" because of an error is it going back to its starting point, or will it come to the controller. I know this works for the PRO... but do you know if it Active Homepoint works with the AIR - THANKS!

[@CristianoMalibu]

You can choose in the controller at configurations what you want. A fixed home point or to make the controller a home point

[@RtoRProductions]

Cristiano Malibu Thanks. I figured as much, but on a boat, it updates home every 15 meters so a manual landing is mandatory. Drift could make your MA take a swim.

[@kyfisher3662]

If I active track myself while driving my boat will it want to land in the original place or can I land it back on the boat where iv driven it to?

[@RGedack]

Hey Mike, thanks for the video. Just one remark. You mentioned but otherwise completely ignored the advantages of the new 3 additional modes of the tap fly mode. Especially the "free" mode is the follow up of the former course lock. It allows you to fly one direction (in a stable and straight line, if you wish!) without having to control the forward stick (just set the speed slider) and you can then steer your camera which direction you want - without losing the chosen direction of the drone course.

[@DroneSupremacy]

Thanks for this remark - I actually believe I had to go deeper and talk about those modes as well, but I have to test them a bit further so I can be helpful with that. Other than that, I've seen a couple of clips and it actually seems quite handy, more than I initially thought. So really, thanks for the heads up and I'll update on that when possible!

[@swooshdave]

I agree, I think you should spend more time with the flight features you didn't like and maybe you'll find that with experience you may change your mind. But this was a great overview.

[@HugoAguilera]

That's really cool that Active Track allows you to fly the drone at the same time. Makes sense, since it's the camera that's controlling the subject and controlling the position via the gimbal, which has a lot of positional freedom. Thanks a ton for the info!

[@DroneSupremacy]

My pleasure Hugo :)

[@nickcummins2053]

These are great flight modes, most I won't use though but its still nice to know I have those tools available, but I use only a couple in my videos

[@jasonlangley4488]

Nice video. Super informative for a novice like myself. Please can you share what editing software you would recommend for a beginner?

[@DroneSupremacy]

Thanks Jason! Depends on what OS you're using - for Windows you can try Davinci Resolve (which is free), and is very good. If you want to get better at editing I suggest start with Adobe Premiere and watch a lot of tutorials on KZbin - once you learn the basics it gets easier. For MacOS definitely Final Cut Pro X. Good luck! :)

[@PaulAndrewJurilla]

Hi Mike, what song did you use here from epidemic sound? Can't locate it

[@jimmynegredo]

really nice video! Super useful!

[@primordial7486]

Nice.. so quick, simple and complete

[@mslane71]

Hi, great vid, I have the Air and I cannot find where the intelligent flight modes are on the Dji Fly app can you help please?

[@mortenwoldstad8]

Hi It seems impossible to get an correct answer to the following: Do you have to stay in the shot and wave to the drone to let it take an asteroide video? Or can you tap around f eksampel a building and be outside the video myself. I wil use this for estate companies and I do not wish to appear in the video.

[@DroneSupremacy]

Hey Morten, you can use a building as "the object" of your asteroid shot with no problem, you don't have to be in the shot yourself. As long as the drone can "detect" the object you want to film (if it fits in the frame), it should be all good!

[@KaiCreative]

Great Breakdown! Been itching to get out there and try all these modes! Thanks!

[@DroneSupremacy]

Welcome, Kai! :)

[@robertmaitland8728]

Thank you for introducing me to my first drone, the Mavic Air which I will be purchasing early next year or before, depending upon funds.I am several years into my retirement and you have, with your excellent video footage, given me the confidence to operate and enjoy this amazing piece of technology. Many thanks'...

[@DroneSupremacy]

Very glad to read this, Robert! The Air is an excellent choice, you’ll have tons of fun with it. Wish u all the best, take care :)

[@itehsan]

in the Quick shot mode, The record video bottom is disabled and I can not record but in normal mode is okay, can you tell me why?

[@perfectlyclaudia998]

Loving this video, thank you! I just bought a Mavic Air and this is ideal for explaining the intelligent flight modes!

[@michaelnazer5970]

With quickshots, can the person be in motion or do you have to stand still for it to track you?? Nice video

[@DroneSupremacy]

Hey Michael! The person can be in motion, yes - as long as the drone detects it and puts a green shape around it - It will continue to follow it during the quickshot!

[@timbarker5205]

Are you using the DJI Go 4 app? I was unable to connect the DJI Go 4 app to the Air 2 and can only use the Fly app.

[@DroneSupremacy]

Check the title and the date.. the video is for another drone - the Mavic Air. The air 2 uses the fly app :)

[@forester4ever]

Nice tips. Thanks man.

[@marya3335]

Great tutorial!I recently got the same drone but it doesn't have all these quick shots!it only has dronie!do I have to make an update?

[@Solar98]

Probably yes, actually it's old update so go ahead and do it 😁

[@flip_flop_farmer]

I have the mavic air 1 How do i turn on the joystics touch flying only works not the joystics?

[@digeratz18]

came across this while researching drones as it will be my first time. Thanks for the detailed tutorial. how will you compare this with the new Mini 2 SE?

[@DroneSupremacy]

The air is pretty old by todays standards, whereas the Mini 2 SE is newer but it’s the cheapest model dji offers. I'd personally advise you to look into Mini3/Mini3 pro as they're the best bang for buck drones right now

[@digeratz18]

@@DroneSupremacy Thanks for the advice. I went on getting the mini 3 pro, as it will be my first time, I believe an added obstacle avoidance will help. I was first leaning to get a 2nd hand Mavic air then I've learned battery production already stopped and if you can find selling one it's now too expensive.

[@DroneSupremacy]

@@digeratz18 great choice, congrats 👏🏼

[@toppermarbra]

Hello, I love your videos. I have a Mavic air but i can’t get that crisp and sharp image shown, What camera settings are you using? Are you color grading the video? If yes, which software are you using? Thanks and I still learning

[@DroneSupremacy]

Hey! Yes, I'm always color grading my videos. This video however was shot in Normal color profile, but i normally use "Cinelike D" and use Final Cut Pro X to color grade afterwards. Watch the other videos on my channel, i've made tutorials about of all of this, you can see it a lot more in-depth :)

[@toppermarbra]

Thank you, I will

[@NoelRojas]

Great stuff man!!! Thank you.

[@captmk]

How do you change distance and direction with Quick shot flights? Mine just takes off after the 3 second time.

[@DroneSupremacy]

Tap on the icon of the quick shot you've selected, that will give you more options :)

[@Pindi44]

Wonderful tutorial and stunning videos, I learnt a lot, thanks.

[@zotyar6829]

Hi Mike, i do have the Mavic Air, but unfortunately i didn't have any additional adjusting possibility, ex.: in Dronie mode the distance adjusting bar. Where could i set the menu to could get any furthers guide bars? Thank you!

[@OTDECK]

I need help cause I know nothing about my Mavic, firstly I'm shooting 4k with a 64gb card installed into the drone but the playback is 1280/720? Why is this? Also the camera pictures that I take look terrible I don't know why the iso is set to 100 but my phone's max Res is 2140 so maybe that's why they look bad

[@1RNPR]

I love it. thanks for sharing this video

[@noelhogan7289]

Great video for novice pilots like me. Still getting used to all the tricks. Thank you. Very helpful 👌🤟

[@grumpyvlogger]

Thanks for sharing this video. I had a Spark, but never really tried all the modes. I just got my Mavic and love it too. I did my first video with it and tried the Active Track. Your video answered a lot of questions for me.

[@DroneSupremacy]

Glad to hear that Lloyd! How do you find the difference between the Spark and the Air?

[@grumpyvlogger]

Drone Supremacy , the difference I find is the Air is a lot more stable, the video if fantastic with the third axis. Plus there was a bit more wind yesterday and I would not have flown the Spark in it simply because it would have been blown around quite a bit more. Also the obstacle avoidance is fantastic. It goes around things rather than just stopping.

[@DroneSupremacy]

Spot on! I've made the same transition and my impressions are very similar - love it!

[@andrejwalter8968]

4:48 how can the camera go so high? Mine doesnt

[@Sasquatch_101]

3 possible reasons: 1) you may be close to a restricted area when you fly, and sometimes when you are close to one the drone may not allow you too fly too far away. 2) You have a bad connection, and to avoid losing you it stops. 3) In the settings (the ‘...’ in the top right corner), there are limitations that you can adjust, so you can decide how far, fast, and high the drone will go. So try to play with that.

[@huson6058]

Great video dude.

[@diveactive]

How did you get the sound of the seashore or did you add it for effects.

[@DroneSupremacy]

It’s an effect :)

[@honoregreff4392]

Great video, good job

[@mysolardog]

Did you use any ND filters for this? Thanks for the examples! I just got mine.

[@41vids]

Whenever I press “go” on tapfly on all 4 features, it goes for a second then stops.. I have tried setting Go to many directions but it just stops after a second of it moving towards it.. PLEASE someone help!!!

[@hotjesssica954]

How do I record follow me on slo mo. Like u did while extending your arms out. Looks fun I want to do that. Too 😊🎥🚁

[@rapaent]

Great Video!! Awesome info. on how all the modes work! I have a question if I may; I understand that you can use Active Track without the RC up to 328’ (100m). What I'm unsure of is; Do you need to have a cellular enabled device that has GPS for example, an iPad w/ cellular in order to fly beyond 328’ (100m)? Thanks 😊

[@blueman841]

Thank you for posting, I learned a lot. Do you know if there is anyway to increase the count time on the intelligent shots from 3 seconds to 5 seconds?

[@thejigfreak4070]

Hi again Mike.. is there a way to adjust the flight angle in dronie mode? eg- steeper or less steep angle shot? cheers Mike.

[@TECHDRONEMEDIA]

Great video, thank you for sharing. I too love my Air, this is an awesome little machine.

[@DroneSupremacy]

Really good video. In sport mode we can see the props. Is it normal?

[@DroneSupremacy]

Yes, it's perfectly normal!

[@mojojo1983]

may i ask if you do used any ND filter on your drone? thank you

[@DroneSupremacy]

Not in this video! But generally - yes. The Cinema Series from PolarPro are great for the Mavic Air.

[@mitchalbano3017]

Thanks for this video. Do you get insurance when you travel for your drone??

[@DroneSupremacy]

To be honest no, but I do buy “DJI Care” warranty so if anything happens to my drone it will be covered by them

[@DroneSupremacy]

I'm glad you find me too! :D Happy to hear you found the video useful, thank you!

[@sloaxleak]

Good video, thanks. What will happen if an obstacle is in the way? Mavic air will stop or crash?

[@DroneSupremacy]

If it's able to detect it (it should be) it will stop. Even in this video, in one of the qiuckshots i had a similar experience and the drone stopped automatically to avoid crashing, so it's very reliable in that sense.

[@sloaxleak]

Drone Supremacy thank you. I bought a Mavic Air recently and am not sure if I can trust in their sensors.

[@EpicLib]

The Active Track mode can't follow if you go for a swim - the moment you dive, even for a split second, my drone is freezing in air and tracking stops even if you resurface out of water in the same place. Any fix to this?..

[@DroneSupremacy]

Well how can it track you if it can't see you? The only solution is somebody else flying manually instead.

[@ileandrolopes]

Yo dude, great video, thx for the demo of what this amazing drone can do. between 1:07 and 1:09 there is an little white blink above your head, maybe something burning on the earth atmosphere?

[@ReinhardBiller]

Nice video! Did you use any filters on the drone for these clips?

[@DroneSupremacy]

Thanks Reinhard! No, not in this video - everything shot in Auto, in "Normal" color profile - no color grading.

intelligent flight modes are disables in beginner mode? How to actife mr?

What's the closest you can get to someone while using active track?

[@onlineoffgrid]

Does the DJI mavic pro have the same intelligent flight modes as the mavic air ? or are these features only available on the mavic air

[@DroneSupremacy]

They're a bit different - the Air misses a few from the Pro, but also has some new ones that the Pro does not have.

[@trevorklansnic]

For the smart capture you dont have to keep your hand up when you are walking it will follow you like it is in active track
