DJI Mavic Air / Cinematic Control (CRAZY FUN)

[@ensee47]

Great vid Francis, tis what we like, spontaneous not staged. Got the Fly More Combo and then got a fourth from HeliGuy, delivery was two days. Took the whole kit to Bali and currently going throu around 8hours of footage to edit. Keep up the good work.

[@FrancisDarracott]

Ah wow! Sounds like a big edit. Will you upload to youtube once done?

[@zhetaolu963]

and finally, our favourite kind of video is back!

[@FrancisDarracott]

Ah awesome! Thank you :)

[@CJRFPV]

Right now I have my Air for about year (I passed my Spark to my wife as she also likes photography and it's a good boost for her creativity) and did around 40 flight hours with it. It's a huge improvement compared to Spark in many ways, not only in video&photo output quality. I still have the original 3 batteries from fly more combo and it's perfctly enough for what I usually need to shoot. Fun fact is that I always get most of shots running on last battery since I learned to plan the shots before takeoff (learned this from you - thanks, btw) and when the location and conditions are great, then I wish those 15 minutes would last forever :-)

[@lrparrish227]

I purchased the fly more combo. Love it!

[@johnwoolley2241]

I'm currently in Kefalonia at the moment with my Mavic Air having a great time flying over the sea and coastline. You are such an inspiration, keep up the good work.

[@FrancisDarracott]

Thanks for the nice comment dude. Enjoy the air and get the killer shots!

[@davidanderson8381]

Great scenery - definitely need to visit Ireland.

[@zenowinkens]

Brave man Francis... Mavic Air beeping... but you just go on! The suspense was nail biting..lol, Good! stuff.

[@FrancisDarracott]

haha! I like to push it to the edge

[@Rich..]

Just brought the Air. Was a toss up between that or the Spark, very I happy I decided to spend the little bit extra!

[@ericjaxtyn5970]

I guess it's pretty off topic but do anyone know of a good website to watch new series online?

[@devonkenneth7763]

@Eric Jaxtyn lately I have been using Flixzone. You can find it on google :)

[@cesarmichael1692]

@Devon Kenneth Yup, have been using FlixZone for since april myself :)

[@ericjaxtyn5970]

@Devon Kenneth Thank you, I signed up and it seems like a nice service :D I really appreciate it!

[@devonkenneth7763]

@Eric Jaxtyn happy to help =)

[@DashDrones]

Just beautiful shots. I'm charging up my batteries for my air's first flight. Excited! Subbed for more awesomeness

[@BlendThatFilm]

So glad I got the Fly more combo, I rarely use more than 1 and half batteries when out.

[@fachjp]

Hi Francis, your drone video is still unparalleled. It must be your strongest suite. My spirit lifts up as soon the music started, and combined with beautiful footage, that part is priceless. By the way, DJI will be announcing something new next month. If it’s a new drone, I hope you can explore it and upload more great videos soon. Cheers!

[@scottcooper7097]

I purchased the Fly More Combo (which co es with a extra battery) while they were running a special that included a free battery for purchases totaling “x amount of dollars”, which mine was. So I got a total of three batteries, which gives me plenty of flying time!

[@RonaldBrown59]

You got some nice footage of the rocks and the shoreline, And even had a bit of scare near the end.

[@alanplummer]

Love your videos! What body of water is that you are filming on?

[@keatonditchfield8437]

I have a total of 4 batteries for my mavic air. But they are all useless right now because I had a fly away and had to crash it into the ground... So pretty depressed about it and the drone is in the repair shop. Im a big fan of your channel and how you get great shots so efficiently. Your 10 tips to better footage was just awesome and helped so much!

[@Endr29]

Once again a great video. Still flying the Spark and very happy with it but one day I will upgrade and the Mavic Air seems to be a good candidate.

[@FrancisDarracott]

The spark is an awesome drone. :)

[@MottiWolkenbruch]

The only drawback for me, compared to the Mavic, is the stuttering movement when recording sideways, with the Circle Quick Shot, for example.

[@Endr29]

Thomas Meyer I also noticed this. That, 4K / RAW and the battery life are the 3 things I really look forward to when I have a new drone. Francis, what are your predictions about what DJI will announce later this season?

[@jarisipilainen3875]

no need upgrade if you allready have drone. wait patience air 2 coming after mavic pro 2.. not need new iphone every year even its more ram more speed same PRICE

[@ShayK47]

I had a hearth attack when you landed on those rocks. Its so unflat, one small bad manoeuvre (especially because its so windy there) and you lose a prop. I always land on my hand when there are no flat surfaces.

[@jhoedph4575]

I love your footage.❤👌

[@kirbycollins3223]

That was a Fun Video to Watch! Your Editing made up for the Low Battery!

[@FrancisDarracott]

Thanks Kirby

[@rogerdvorak3582]

Good one Francis.... Nice location, when the beeping and return to home started I thought... oh now.. but as George Formby would say.. Turned out nice again..

[@FrancisDarracott]

Turned out nice again! haha! Thanks Roger. Have a great day

[@wormerthings]

Great vid. 💪💪🖐🖐🇳🇱🇳🇱

[@rajivanlogajay]

Very nice video bro, and 👍for In-between comedy's. I loved it.👌

[@FrancisDarracott]

Thank you very much, :)

[@scottkint]

I bought the fly more combo. I’m able to get the shots with three batteries.

[@ericbeauboucher1010]

As usual great pictures, ans beautiful Sun, in short i like, your french fan soon...

[@FrancisDarracott]

Thanks so much Eric :)

[@vodka68318]

I really like the lut you used on this video, can you please tell me which lut you used? is it one of the ones you are selling?

[@vcmovie1]

Great vid. 💪💪💪🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🖐🖐🖐

[@nickcummins2053]

Another great video, and as for the battery I punched the fly more combo and 2 extra batteries just incase, I bought genuine ones from the JB Hifi store I bought the drone from, I really hope you get some more batteries so we can see more of your work and not get restricted by the amount of life from just the one battery, we should all chip in and buy you another one lol

[@kuyaks]

they'll have to redesign the slider of the batteries to get what you want 😊.. awesome videos as always 👍😍

[@mickymazda1]

You crack me up man! Fun video. Siubscribed.

[@FrancisDarracott]

Hahah! Thanks Michael!

[@papertelevision]

Found you from Drone Supremacy. Amazing work!

[@neilaux]

Lovely videos! Can you control the mavic with the same controller as the spark?

[@Endr29]

NEIL AUXTERO unfortunately not Neil.

[@FrancisDarracott]

Sadly not dude

[@nicknac1980]

The battery release bugs me as well! I'm glad you said that!

[@FrancisDarracott]

So annoying. haha

[@stevendople7194]

They are a option where the home point is the remote

[@gdmt]

FINALLY, THE WAIT IS OVER

[@FrancisDarracott]

:)

[@MickeyDelen]

Hey Francis, lovely videos! Are you using ND filters with your Mavic Air?

[@GMARTIN]

First comment haha. Keep up the good work man! Love watching you grow

[@FrancisDarracott]

Thanks dude

[@my-good-mood]

Fly more combo is a mandatory especially for novice! But having some experience with Spark automatically means that only one battery is enough for successful shooting I belive!

[@chamalkadharmadasa2411]

Please mention the locations in your future videos

[@waynerenshaw-multi-outdoor4521]

I've got 5 Francis got the combo and bought 2 more from Very stores 😉👍

[@brendanomara339]

The Mavic Pro is the same way! Wish it wasn't so!

[@StanCook]

I had to laugh when the Air started peeping and I knew it was going to return to home where you started from. I purchased the Fly more combo so I have three batteries. I think it is always best to buy the Fly More on any new drone you buy from DJI and the Refresh too. I have grounded my Air until DJI releases a fix to the .0400 update. Next time I will wait to see what happens to others. I'm not taking a chance for now and just flying the Mavic Pro Platinum.

[@ToddBenore]

What's the bug in the .0400?

[@bvaldes8791]

Great job and beautiful footage. 👍👍

[@FrancisDarracott]

Cheers dude. Thank you

[@9h1le]

Hi tried to download your luts but I can’t !! Is there something wrong

[@glennmartin2221]

Hi Francis I was wondering if I could ask you a question I have a DJI Spark and was wanting to take it abroad on holiday with me but have heard stories that people s drones are being taken off them at the airport have or did you ever have a problem with this and also did you just put the spark in your carry on bags. Also do I need to do anything with the batteries or need any paperwork etc if you could help me out or do a video on it that would be great thanks.

[@FrancisDarracott]

I have never had a problem with taken my drones in carry on. But you should always research the country before hand as some places will not accept you bringing a drone over the border. So aways be careful.

[@andywild76]

Always carry your drone and batteries in carry on. Get lipo safe battery bags for the batteries as well (to reduce risk of fire if the batteries explode). This kit is helpful: www.amazon.co.uk/Travel-Safety-Pack-DJI-Spark/dp/B073P2WCNP/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1529964365&sr=8-5&keywords=Spark+battery+travel. Always read the regulations for flying drones in the country you're going to. Google is your friend.

[@waynosfotos]

Don’t buy without the fly more combo. When your getting shots like this you use up time heaps!

[@TheForge10]

with the coronavirus shutting down DJI's factories well maybe more than a couple of months for a battery.

[@andrehellmuth13]

is there a chance you will upgrade to the upcoming mavic pro 2?

[@FrancisDarracott]

Who knows! hahaa

[@chrissyw.]

E bay £59 took 4 days 👍

[@NickLewis]

Battery removal problem is the same for the Mavic Pro

[@FrancisDarracott]

Ah really? I thought the pro was different? nightmare right?

[@andywild76]

You can buy genuine Mavic Air batteries on ebay from UK sellers either new or refurb.

[@FrancisDarracott]

Awesome! will look into it

[@kennethbyrne9838]

If you buy a battery from dji since you’re in the UK you will have it in 2 days

[@AmeliaHeldt]

"And I love the keys lots" hahaha classic :P

[@batfri4803]

Me, I bought the basic pack and then I bought a little bit later a second batterie and 2 batteries it’s enough to enjoy maybe a third one if you are traveling and you are all day long outside without restaurant to fill up the batterie but if no : 2 batteries it’s fine

[@FrancisDarracott]

Yeah I agree. I think two batteries would be the perfect amount

[@batfri4803]

Francis Darracott ;D

[@magnusmarkgard]

Agree with that annoying must-fold-out-to-get-the-battery-out! :-)

[@FrancisDarracott]

Does me in every time!

[@biggfpv2721]

Great video...I buy batteries on eBay

[@FrancisDarracott]

Thanks Ross.

[@mickeyblueeyes7]

I went with the fly more combo whicn was a whopping $1599 aus 🤪 HOWEVER I feel it was worth it for all the extras it came with. Gotta show them keys some love! 🗝️🔑 😂

[@FrancisDarracott]

Haha Thanks Mike. Yeah I wish I purchased the fly more. Ohhh the bloody keys!

[@muhamadrezaldi]

Proper Job

[@FrancisDarracott]

Proper Job!!!!!!!!!

[@gcomfx]

Fly more combo here. I don't think you can ever have enough batteries. The charger holds 4... I've been thinking about getting a 4th battery to be honest. I can't believe you only have one. lol

[@intothewild7510]

Hi Francis.... Got my second battery from hobbymounts.co.uk. £68.99 and delivered really quickly. 😊

[@leeroyjnr]

Same re the battery! 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@brianmoore7910]

Great video enjoyed 👌

[@FrancisDarracott]

Cheers Brian!

[@SJMDronesMedia]

Argos sell them ! £69

[@FrancisDarracott]

Boom!

[@jarisipilainen3875]
