I upgraded from a Phantom 3 Advanced to a Mavic 2 Pro, and couldn't be happier. The Mavic is a joy to fly and film with, and with the Litchi app I can do all sorts of cool stuff with it. While you pointed out some gripes, none of the things you talk about out made me regret my purchase in the least. The only point you made that I can identify with as a gripe is the limited modes the side anti-collision sensors are used in, but I'm honestly still having too much fun with the thing to care. For those who might be interested, I picked up a "Beyondsky Upgraded Mavic 2 Shoulder Bag Carrying Case 4 Battery Storage Box for DJI Mavic 2 Zoom / 2 Pro" case on Amazon, and the Mavic 2 Pro fits it perfectly (without the gimbal guard, which I immediately tossed).

This is probably the best video about mavic2 drones on youtube. Of course these are awesome drones, that's not the point. The point is how we could make these better! This video is like "free consulting", consulting is so valuable for a company, DJI should really see this. I understand some people can feel offended because have spent lots of money on this drone. I have spent that money too. But from a professional point of view, knowing the limitations of your tool is the key to good planning. You need to know how to overcome the limitations of your tools to provide the best service to you clients. So don't feel ashamed, our 2k drones have limitations. Learn the limitations and learn to deal with it! This is actually what this video is about. So stop saying the authors are "crying", they are simply not. These guys are just professionals.

Well, not sure about f/4 but f/5.6 is already getting soft. I think it’s misleading to put such a broad aperture range in there.

When would you recommend using f/11 on the Mavic or P4?

@alexrothbard43245 жыл бұрын
Speechless! Everything I’ve been trying to get you tubers to cover you guys covered it! I like how you said before everything that they are your favorite drones because I agree, they are fantastic. BUT, DJI needs to be called out on these quality control issues that can’t seem to improve over the years which is not fair to their loyal customers who have been spending thousands of dollars on their products for years. Couple things I will say. First, the rear gimbal roll motor actually gets scratched during flight by making contact with the plastic hooks on the gimbal bracket that secure the rubber dampeners. This shud have been picked up easily if they were to do proper testing and fixed simply by slightly moving that gimbal bracket or using different hook design with scratch resistant material(such as material used on the bottom of trick roller blades for grinding). Second, I got the pro and the zoom and got the fly more kit with both and it’s very weird but the bag I got with the pro version fit both my mavic 2’s just fine. However the bag I got with the zoom had the same issue where the drone simply did not fit without jamming it in the bag using way too much force. My conclusion is that all the bags they make are not exactly identical(very slight) but it’s already such a tight fit that even the slightest defect in the dimensions makes it not fit right so you may want to consider at least trying to return the bag for a new one because it may not seem like it but I think it’s actually manufacturer defect which again, should have been picked up with proper design and testing. I sent dji videos and pictures of the scratches on the rear gimbal and told them about the issue so at least they know about it. And the rear arms scraping didn’t bother me too much cuz I can just slightly push them away from the body when folding but the fact that they fold them before mass production and just say “oh well, good enough, too lazy to make design adjustments” really encapsulates the biggest problem with DJI, which is customer service and quality control which brings me to another point you made about the shipping. I too find it so rediculous that you can’t get their packages held or pre-signed because they don’t even consider how much of a pain it is to adjust your whole day around waiting for a package, especially when it’s a return product for something they didn’t do right, I agree it’s completely rediculous. Thank you for this video you guys, DJI needs to hear all this and hopefully they will realize a chain is only as strong as it’s weakest link, and their customer service and quality control is exactly that, a super weak link in their chain and it’s gone on for too long. It’s the small details that make all the difference.

Then my controller tablet holder fits in right outer pocket, spare blades in front with ND filter case and neck strap, and cables etc go inside top of lid. All closes and then I have everything for a job. Note, I did buy the rubber blade protectors for storing the drone without ever damaging them - they were cheap and very nice to use.

This goes for a $1000 drone as well as a $1 cat toy. The point of shipping via FedEx is lost on me for the simple reason that I would never order an expensive electronics device directly from an overseas company. The best point was more programmability of controller keys. I completely agree with the need to be able to turn on and off the obstacle avoidance with a button. Well done guys.

I've had my zoom 18 months and am delighted. Yeah, I agree with some of your points, but the biggest to my mind is the con of 'Hasselblad' camera on the pro. Many reports say it's a SONY sensor. Hasselblad were a consultant to DJI, but they've not made the thing themselves. Should say SONY! Compared images with friends who have the pro, and we all agree the zoom produces better images, unless you're into processing RAW format. The zoom lenz is a real bonus (depending on what you're doing). More flexible and cheaper because you're not paying for that 'Hasselblad' badged name licence!!

FYI 10 bit color is not a software issue, it’s a hardware issue. The sensor in the zoom can’t resolve 10b color, and doesn’t have the processing power to do it anyway. If it were a software issue, there would be camera hacks for every popular mirrorless to get 4K 60 10bit 422 out of everything. It’s hardware processing, encoding, and sensor capability.

I canceled it through FedEx only to find out about 3 hours later that it was in a facility 5 minutes away from me. At this point, it was too late...

I had it checked, the quad was ok, the batteries still are ok and not worn out, but they are all swollen & cracked. The more I use them the more swollen they become. I am afraid that they may break down or explode, so I had to buy new ones. They told me it is because of the hot weather this summer, but as the leaflet said, I flew it in under 40 degrees Celsius. It uses a lot of battery, yes, but they should have taken a heat sink or something to help it not get hot to the point that they inflate. I am in Iran & we have no dji here. So there is no warranty neither any care program. We have to buy new batteries ! Mavic pro worked much better, had no problem with the batteries after 70 charge times. 3- the front motors get much hotter than the back ones. Much much more. I don't know why. Even in flying forth, all the 4 motors are working. It must be something with the design. I only bout it for the omnidirectional sensing which doesn't work in all modes. I am sorry why I bought it. I just fly for hobby and this battery problem disappointed me. I know many people had the same issue worldwide. In Thailand, dji changed the batteries for one I was in touch with. And many people had swollen batteries. If you like, you can see the batteries in my videos.

#12 is probably the single most important "gripe" concerning the Zoom: change of exposure during zoom. You tell us to be aware of it, watch for it, but you are essentially all 'gripe", nothing about what to do about it.

It's happened. It's called the Inspire 2. It's amazing how spoiled we are. Not 10 years ago we had to rent a helicopter and a good camera for a decent shot that these give. Now we want awesome cameras that fly 7 miles and have interchangeable lenses. The Inspire 2, or even the 1 with the 5S is simply way cheaper than a Red for $50k. For the price of a high price DSLR, you can have a flying machine that has a stabilizer and interchangeable lenses and stops, yet you want it at this price point. Move up to pro drones if you want pro drones. If you want prosumer/consumer drones, you're at the right price point and should be singing the praises of what you get for the money.

Great info gents id like to add 2 more problems you neglected to mention 11: Barrel Distortion on the Pro will not be and cannot be fixed via a firmware fix from DJI. DJI knew this but decided not to inform the public. 12: 1 Inch sensor is not actually using the full 1 inch sensor which means your not getting what you purchased. There is a major overheating issue with the sensor, DJI knew about this aslo prior to release also. fingers crossed the pro 3 will try to minimise the amount it rips off unsuspecting consumers it future releases.

Barrel distortion is only in the HLG and d-log modes which are pro grading modes that are designed to be corrected later. It takes all of a few seconds to fix the distortion in premiere

Hi Guys, On the phantom 3 we had the ability to use the ev scroll wheel as a button to switch to shutter speed but we have lost that now and I cannot re assign this option to aC1 or C2 also I cannot find a way to turn off the top avoidance sensor so every time I fly under something low it tries to land. Slao why does the video settings change after you set them in manual then change the flight mode to hyper lapse the shutter and ev etc. change so you have to reset them again before hitting the ok button to start your hyper lapse, very easy to miss and screws up your video as its now over exposed.

Mavic 2 newbee here. I get a sensor error with full right stick forward in both P and S mode. The warning also says "return control stick to center." I thought 'S' mode would disable the sensors, but apparently not. Is there any way around that other than digging into the menu inflight? This is not altitude dependent as it happens at 200' as well as near the ground.

Why wouldn't there be a difference, was that a still shot or a moving shot, where you show the sample. As the sharper one is set at 2.8 on 1/50th and the F11 is on a 1/4 of a second. So that's not a fair comparison.
