DJI Mavic Pro // First Flight

[@DanOCan]

Five years later and I still rewatch this video because it reminds me of the excitement I had when waiting for it to arrive and my first flight. My drone was still on order when I watched for the first time. I’m still flying my Mavic Pro. :)

[@ed_richards47]

Thank you for sharing your maiden flight with us. It was very impressive and I can't wait for mine to be shipped.

[@BackwardTravisty]

Yes, I too love the DJI Mavic Pro huddle mode.

[@ongta1265]

Great tutorial Timothy, keep up more videos man, thanks. My Mavic Pro is coming in a week, can't wait to practice it before Cancun.

[@HaroldRosario]

Great flying skills

[@WanderlassS]

Awesome 4K

[@pramitharyan5167]

The video is stupendous...Good landscape by the way

[@simplyretired]

That was very helpful - I am going to watch all your videos on the Mavic Pro. You made it look easy.

[@TimothySunday]

Glad it was helpful. Grab some 🍿 for the over 30 episodes! 👊

[@dennex911]

Your personality is super awesome. I just got my very first drone too and I'm trying to figure out how to use it. Your videos are awesome! You're fun to watch and you seem really nice.

[@TimothySunday]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@kevincvang]

Never thought a hmong girl likes drones. I have 3 myself.

[@jasons6651]

enjoying the Mavic videos buddy. Thanks for sharing

[@Mitchwilmarth]

Very nice! I can't decide if I should get the Mavic or the P4P for real estate photography

[@TimothySunday]

+Mitch Wilmarth I think if you're only using it for real estate then p4p will be a better option for you since portability isn't a huge benefit for you. The Mavic is just so stupid small that it's a fantastic option for its size. The p4p is super good quality and the extra sensors make it worth it I think. Here's a link for the p4p. Using this link or the one in my description for the mavic really helps me and the channel out. click.dji.com/AKnWTpfmDGaZF_Unbh3S?pm=link

[@clamchowder2670]

Hello fello Knoxvillian! Looks like your right off alcoa hwy there. Really good video. I ordered mine from DJI on 10/4/16 "good buddy day" & received an email this morning saying that it had shipped with an eta of this friday by 10:30am. At the very least I'm a little stoked! I'll keep watching to see what I can learn. Never droned before. I was waiting for a homerun product like this 1st.

[@DougForce]

First flight over water! Brave man! Great video! Greetings from elsewhere in Tennessee!

[@TimothySunday]

+Forced Observations gotta do it right the first time. Haha. Thanks for watching and commenting. Hope you'll consider subscribing

[@DougForce]

Timothy Sunday I've been a subscriber since your video about the problems with your old drone. I'm looking to get a Mavic for the same reason as you - to use on my channel. Appreciate you documenting the details so I know what to expect!

[@ronhayes3360]

Got mine today, thank you for the guidance you provide !

[@MarcoCantieni]

First flight really well explained. Why did the gimbal bank? What settings shutting this off?

[@ECCHellbilly1]

Great job man! my mavic will be here in 4 days I'm trying to learn as much as I can before it gets here. very helpful videos thanks

[@CactusDronography683]

Great video,cant wait to get mine eventually.

[@bluestar99playz11]

The UT campus as in university of Tennessee? 0:23

[@BGBrygfjeld]

Excellent video - keep it up!

[@OldPongGeezer]

Great video - I just subscribed. FINALLY got my Mavica few days ago, first flight this morning. Everything you said is true, awesome product! I'm going to share some of my experiences on my channel someday, but I'll refer to your videos for the details. Love your style, Keep up the great tutorials on this machine.

[@jamiehill9578]

Do u need to have blue tooth turned on with your phone to connect the Drone

[@sowerpuss]

Incredible! I take my first flight tomorrow in New Jersey. Checking out your videos to help get acclimated. They are very helpful. Next stop Costa Rica! I have been scouting out a lot of sites there and the terrain is an issue. Mountains along with wind. But the video will be spectacular with this unit.

[@TimothySunday]

I'm filming in Guatemala now and the wind at high altitudes is an issue this time of year. But lowering the altitude to get out of the high wind areas helps and it's good to go. The Mavic actually has an on-screen advisory warning if the wind is too strong...which I found really helpful here.

[@sowerpuss]

Yeah I was at Volcan Irazu in Costa Rica a couple weeks ago and the winds were 40 miles per hour. Too strong. I'll be back first week in February. Praying for lower winds. Ran my Mavic Pro for the first time today and it was nothing less than spectacular. I'm glad I watched your tutorials. Took the edge off my nerves. Can't wait to see what you come up with. Enjoy! Rob

[@sowerpuss]

Tim. I am having an issue with 4k video playback. Very choppy! Please advise. Thank You

[@haroosudra4081]

Can you bring the drone back to the home point automatically? Thanks for sharing videos, very informative

[@Kolsch221]

Hey Tim, Would you recommend the Mavic for a first drone?

[@TimothySunday]

+cale templeton absolutely! It is fantastic for all levels of abilities and would be great to learn on and grow with you. Be sure to use the links in the description to order yours as they really help out the channel!

[@northernfliteproductions3075]

Been humming and hawing here. You popped my Solo dreams, my bestie has a P3 std which I love, but you now have sold mr on the Mavic which I've been considering for awhile... thanks and subscribed!

[@TimothySunday]

+Northernflite Productions awesome! You won't regret it!

[@jeshand3159]

can't wait to get mine!!!

[@Fastaschit]

Great video brother. Subscribed and will be sharing

[@saulotarsosales]

Good Vídeo! Mavic Pro is Amazing!!!

[@ChaseCharaba]

Thanks for sharing. I’ve never flown a drone and I’m thinking about buying a Mavic this month.

[@TimothySunday]

did you end up buying?

[@lexsanto6436]

Good

[@highdesertdragons6674]

I noticed the focus is better in this video, what settings are you using for the auto focus? thanks and great video!

[@Matt-wg9xn]

7:16 I am new to drones and thought something horrific had just happened for a second there

[@40aday]

Great video man, thanks. half way thru your vid my new Mavic finished upgrading firmware so i had a quick play around. it flew straight into my legs, shredded my ankles, deep gashes (I'm sat in shorts) and took my right hand out too (blood all over)... wow, its gonna be a war of attrition but I'm gonna tame this beast (but not too much).. Jeez this thing is dangerous. keep up the vids, great work.

[@magaucher]

Good review, thank you.

[@TimothySunday]

+Mark Gaucher thanks! Hope you'll consider subscribing and watching the mavic pro series I am making.

[@magaucher]

Yes I did subscribe, keep them coming. PEI Canada.

[@BjEddy1]

Timothy, thanks for posting this, I am one of 1000's waiting for mine to arrive, I have one question for you since this was your 1st time,, did you calibrate the drone before you went to that location? its odd how some say its a must, yet I hardly ever see it mentioned

[@joehicks985]

Just discovered your channel. Nicely done. I am looking forward to new feeds...P.S.... I am trying to decide which DJI products to get.. Mavic sound good

[@TimothySunday]

+Joe Hicks thanks for the support. What do you use your drone for? Perhaps I could help you choose which drone is best for you

[@ScreamingPatriot]

can i get a link to the FAA website for the registration please?

[@alexisgc33]

dude great video. What setup/tripod are you using to film yourself??

[@BlastAway]

Hi Tim, just subscribed, great videos pal. What video editing software do you use? I'm about to purchase a Mavic Pro and the only video editing I've ever done for my work is through a phone app or on windows movie maker

[@TimothySunday]

Here's a link to buy your Mavic. click.dji.com/ACJOFU01y5S_mXTv9Kk?pm=link I use Final Cut Pro X for Mac. There are a lot of great options for phones and tablets as well.

[@tcalvisuals5624]

Thank you for your video. I was wondering if the controller charges your phone when it is connected?

[@duckfuckars]

Whats the song at 9:45 ??nice for drone footage :)

[@gwigtil70]

Daniel Jacob im wondering the same!

[@duckfuckars]

Ye im waiting to get my drone in a few days and im looking for some music like this for my videos

[@jaimielibbi1]

Hi Timothy. Where do you get your music from for your videos. I just got the mavic pro, sooooo excited. Ian.

[@TimothySunday]

Congrats on getting the drone! I get all my music here bit.ly/MyYTMusic

[@hoobashoot]

Hey man your in Knoxville? I live near victor Ashe park, we should fly together sometime. Still waiting on my mavic but I might get the phantom 4 pro instead.

[@haroosudra4081]

Can you bring the drone back to the original place automatically?

[@rafaelsaldana2775]

Do the videos get recorded on your cell phone memory or does the drone have a slot for an sd card

[@realistindenial]

I just ordered my own DJI Mavic, but it's not due to arrive until the first week of January. :-( In the meantime I can live vicariously through your experiences. :-)

[@rafaelsaldana2775]

How far of distance can you fly it do you need to be in line of sight? Or can you be inside your house and fly it outside

[@PaulQualls]

I got mine this week. Shipping was anything but quick.. The unit itself is so natural to use. I am a pilot, and to be honest, this was quite native feeling to me..

[@Pause77]

Well how do you like this versus the 3DR Solo???

[@rafaelsaldana2775]

Can you use an iPod touch, or can you use your iPhone in airplane mode so calls don't interrupt your flying?

[@oovvoo7555]

i`m still waiting for my mavic, ordering on cyber monday. awhile i`m watching your videos, sitting on needles!! greetings from Switzerland and thanks for your infos

[@ak7633]

Awesome series of Mavic tutorials. Onto my next video....

[@Bowmans-Woods]

Ah. I remember being just as excited on my first day I got mine. You actually you were way more conservative with it than I was. Good for you! When I got mine it was dark out so I couldn't wait to fly it so I tried to fly in in my house as my first flight. That didn't go so well. But it made for a funny video. I was just lucky it didn't break. Damn, the Mavic is tough as it can take a small crash and not even get a mark on it and no snapped props. I was impressed by that. Not sure if you have seen other people on youtube fly their Mavic with broken props but it still flies fine. There is one (Crazy) guy that crashed his drone and broke 3 props and still tried to fly it and it still flew normally. There must be some pretty high tech software running the Mavic to compensate for having only 1 fully intact prop. Even I wouldn't have tried that. :-)

[@jpcash1942]

Hi , I have a little question , What app are you currently using to fly your Mavic Pro? Thank you

[@rexstonbull250]

if only I could get a shot like that I've got a phantom 3 advance a mavic pro and a mini 2 fly more combo all decent pieces of equipment .

[@justinspirational]

Flying near power lines and over water for first flight..not what I'd do but glad you got it back safe..Waiting on my mavic too and just ordered a g85 as well.. how you liking the G85 weight, AF and stabilization wise? I have a Panasonic gh3.. been practicing walking around with that on a gorilla pod but the exposure is all over the place in aperture priority mode.. how do you set your g85 up for good consistent exposure in changing light whilst keeping the aperture wide open for shallow dof? Thank you and happy vlogging (& thanksgiving!)

[@TimothySunday]

+justinspirational great questions. I'll be doing a video series, much like the mavic one, on the g85 soon which cover all my settings. I'm still experimenting with various settings and haven't found the perfect setup just yet. The weight is very manageable with the gorillapod. But I actually returned my gorillapod because it kept falling over. I'll have a video soon with what I replaced it with and why I switched.

[@justinspirational]

thanks - be great to see what your optimal vlogging settings are with the G85 as I've since ordered one too for the same purpose but am concerened about the general slow AF with the panasonic line as well as my question regarding keeping the expsoure consistent..

[@ShitSquawk]

Great channel buddy I'm in the same boat as you are have flown a lot but not DJI would u mine if I asked what brand and size memory card you are using for the Mavic?

[@TimothySunday]

+ShitSquawk mine came with a 16gb card. I haven't looked at what brand it is. I will check that out

[@ShitSquawk]

Thanks buddy I heard that the Mavic or any DJI drone can be picky on which ones work well with the drones don't know if it's true if it is just would like to buy one decent size one where I can kinda of have it ready for any type drone!!! Thanks bud love ur channel it has helped me create a good check list for flying my own drone when I receive it lol

[@TimothySunday]

I just checked and the one included with mine is a Panasonic 16gb UHS-3

[@dhansel4835]

Were you flying with an Android phone or iPhone? Keep away for those high voltage transmission lines. They can wreck havoc with the transmissions.

[@SCAR16s]

Hey Timothy, do you have to calibrate the compass in every flight? Thanks.

[@neyman4ik]

Hello! You can use the cover of the camera during the flight? Sorry for my bad English. I'm use translator 😊

[@adrianirvine11]

Yes of corse

[@jacknohava2589]

Did you do any modifications to the footage after you took the video or is that raw footage?

[@TimothySunday]

Just basic color grading

[@Colin399]

Do you think the Mavic is worth buying Tim?

[@TimothySunday]

Absolutely!

[@baskerwille9335]

Hi Timothy Sunday. The video footage from the drone is very dark compared with video recording from your camera on the tripod. What is the reason?

[@TimothySunday]

+TheBaskerwille my camera shot was overexposed :)

[@baskerwille9335]

Okay.

[@ttuzz]

how long did it take you to get the drone after ordering it? so frustrated with waiting!!!

[@TimothySunday]

+Terry Tuzzolino I just received it on Monday and I ordered on the afternoon of day 1 preorders.

[@gregharris128]

Out didn't calibrate your compass on first flight?

[@gregharris128]

You..

[@MatthewPan]

hey timothy! great series man, i've subscribed and am watching every single one of your video tutorial. love the video content, thanks loads for everything, really appreciate it all the way from singapore! :)

[@techforthefuture5881]

i got mine last week (uk) i love the thing. not to sure about the whole seperate app thing tho.... dji go 4 and dji go!!!! ive had upload issues with 4.... still hate the fact u cant switch to atti mode aswell. its caused a couple of indoor crashes for me. so be aware of that any newbies. not good for flying indoors!!!

[@SoapyGolem]

is there a plug in for a iphone? on the remote?

[@TimothySunday]

Yes, it comes with micro usb, usb-c, and lighting adapters.

[@juniorisclean]

DUDE what was that head movement at the beginning of video? Like wow😲

[@TimothySunday]

Wow! haha. you're right!

[@briankatrales3836]

Great video, Timothy. Epic is truly the word. If you remember my previous contact with you, I am still dealing with 3DR and now I am on my 4th Solo and they keep sending me back Refurbished Models, ahhh! I wish I had bought from Amazon so I could have gotten my money back like you did. The Mavic Pro is the drone that I would like as well. Keep it up, I will keep watching!

[@TimothySunday]

+Brian Katrales thanks for the support Brian. I just got back inside from my second flight and just wow! This is so much better than the 3dr experience. I really hate you're still stuck in that. I hope you get a working model soon!

[@DavidSeda]

Hey man, my mavic should be arriving this weekend.. I noticed you're using a galaxy s7 edge... Which dji go app are you using? Dji go? Or dji go 4? I've heard of people having crashing issues on Android with the 4 I would just like to know what you've been using it with without any issues. Thanks man!

[@TimothySunday]

+David Seda I use DJI Go App

[@3xilelast]

are you located in Toronto ????

[@3xilelast]

nevermind!! you said Tennesee (sp)

[@TimothySunday]

+3xilelast no. TN, USA

[@3xilelast]

Timothy Sunday because at first I heard u of T. in Toronto, we also have u of T . Carry on! :)

[@3xilelast]

Timothy Sunday btw! do you clip your antennas in place when storing them? I find that the right antenna gets small scratches on it.. but I guess it's just a minor cosmetic scratch

[@brucecheek3472]

Any issues with loss of GPS signal and switching to ATTI mode?

[@TimothySunday]

+bruce cheek so far (5 flights) I have never lost GPS. I tried once in ATTI mode indoors and it drifted like crazy and I had to grab it out of mid air. But I think I had some calibration issues to figure out before attempting to fly indoors. I'm going to do my research on it and I'll be making a video on flying indoors and flying in ATTI mode

[@JRthepyroguy]

welcome to the dark side Luke. lol. one you go Dji you don't wanna go back. lol. enjoy it bro. hopefully I'll have mines by xmas.

[@TimothySunday]

+jr_1322 1322 thanks man! I've got a lot more DJI content coming. Subscribe and keep watching as you wait for yours to arrive!

[@JRthepyroguy]

Timothy Sunday​ I did bro. Looking forward to your videos. Check out my channel when you get a chance. I have a bunch of video I did with my p3 standard. He's a work horse.

[@vg5157]

jr_1322 1322 when you place the order ? I did Sept 29 and I received Nov 8. So do your calculation

[@manueldiego7707]

What is the diferencie between normal, and begginer mode?

[@gwigtil70]

Manuel Diego If you are in beginner mode, your speed will decrease a lot. First time flying a mavic, its smart to use this!

[@dj.spin787]

Where does it record video to

[@TimothySunday]

internal SD card

[@thomaskarrer5616]

is it possible to change the US (FCC 7mile) controler to the metric system (meter instead of feed, kmh instead of mph) ?

[@TimothySunday]

+Thomas Karrer yes it is. Just a simple switch in the settings

[@PhilipCook123]

I just got my mavic with the fly more kit. Do I have to do the firmware on each battery of does the firmware go to the quad?

[@TimothySunday]

the large update goes to the quad and sometimes there are small updates to be applied to each of your batteries

[@PhilipCook123]

Thanks.

[@gamer_guts9836]

Hi Tim, can you please post the website you used to register the magic? I've looked for a website and found a bunch that end with ".gov, .org, .com ect..." don't know which one to click on that is legit and not some Ad site trying to take my money. Thanks appreciate the help and info. Safe flying!

[@TimothySunday]

[@dougrobinson2024]

Right by the power lines... haha Fearless!

[@TimothySunday]

YOLO

[@drake19891]

what happened at 7:18? i thought it was cooked haha

[@mobetterg]

I'm using a APPLE I pad Pro 12.9 to upload and edit my MP4 VIDEOS/photos from my DJI MAVIC drone to KZbin than copy and paste onto Facebook can you tell me what the best setting 1080P at 60 FPS or 1080p at 30fps ????or something else you. Suggest ? I've tried shooting 4K and 2k and my APPLE IPad Pro don't support it ☹️😤☹️ only 1080p

[@TimothySunday]

I would say 1080 60. I would also say you NEED to check this out. amzn.to/2sjy251 I have a review coming of it in the next few weeks but this would be PERFECT for you. The device allows you to edit and publish 4k video via an app connected to this device and just plug in your sd card. It's incredible!

[@jsiedungzxktv3341]

1klike👍 nice mavic my friend

[@rekunta]

I’m terrified of taking this over water.

[@thomaskarrer5616]

4.3 mile im mean not 7 mile

[@artistman75]

Tim, I enjoy your channel but cringe every time I hear you call it a drone, drones don't have pilots. It's a quad copter or Unmanned Aerial Vehicle of aka, UAV. Keep up the great work.

[@robhimself79]

StirCrazy but the mavic is capable of autonomous flight.. making it a drone. I think you're reaching here.

[@schlonzschuppe4516]

Always fly over water. Over water you got more battery time. Just let it hover and see what happens. The mavic also films underwater. Your first flight should always include fish and reef footage.

[@piast_kolodziej]

Which gimbal settings were causing such tilt?

[@lexsanto6436]

Good
