BMFA liability insurance is only valid if you are flying from a recognised BMFA flying site. Doesn't cover you if you are in a public place such as the beach/park/fields etc.

[@headsoftech]

"No, completely incorrect, the insurance provides cover worldwide for lawful recognised activity."[1] [1] bmfa.org/Insurance/Insurance-FAQs

12:30 ding dong 😍, errr landing on sand! And the antennas were positioned wrong on your controller, soz. Btw, living in Aus, well jealous 😎

GREAT VIDEO Review! I bought mavic pro platinum, and i am very exited flying with it. :)) on same day i made my first video, and its not so difficult to fly but also man need some skills :))) ALL recomendation !!! Without FLY MORE COMBO pack its not worth it , its must to have. Have u tested filters from Neewer ? Greeting from Cologne

[@headsoftech]

Thanks mate! Haven't checked out the filters are you planning on it?

[@WJacob]

Vtudio , yes, ordered them cuz they r lighter 50%then polar pro .

[@dorito1632]

I have a question about the stickers. I recently bought a platinum and noticed a small red tag on the back of the camera. I see you still left on in the video as well (shown when the camera is moving after turning on the drone). Is that something that should be left there, or is that a sticker than can be removed?

[@headsoftech]

Hey mate, I removed all the stickers including that one and it's been A-ok.

[@dorito1632]

@@headsoftech Awesome. Thanks for the reply. Videos are helpful as always. Your video comparing the mavic platinum to the mavic 2 helped my purchase decision a lot.

[@soldiertype]

Thank you

[@headsoftech]

You're welcome mate

[@thedaffamily5020]

Hey just subscribe to your channel, I will be getting the mavic platinum today, lots of good info in your video. How is your drone doing after almost 2 yrs?

[@headsoftech]

Had it repaired once under warranty for free[1], got it stuck up a tree once too[2], but yeah other than that, still going strong. [1] kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYW6pmt5rpuUY7M [2] kzbin.info/www/bejne/moi3ZZeIo5qGqdk

[@DadRandom]

The Platinum is still darn good and half the price of the 2. $699 one year later

[@headsoftech]

Totally agree mate

[@cadeinfinite6880]

Where did you find a platinum for 699?

[@jerrystark2629]

can you use a tablet instead of a phone?

[@headsoftech]

Yep

[@monio982]

My hubs bought me a Mavic Pro Platinum should be in tomorrow. I appreciate the video, this will make it much easier to get started.

[@headsoftech]

Excellent, best of luck playing with it. The number one tip is to try your hardest not to get carried away, as that's when accidents happen.

[@monio982]

I will remember that, thank you!

[@bobmcl2008]

Very good presentation. I wish I had found it before unpacking my platinum(my first drone) this week. Hardest part was turning on the controller. lol. I have 2 issues left. The quad only showed up on the pc once, and the video on my S4 Galaxy is choppy. All firmware is up to date.

[@rexybundy]

Dude why would you take off on sand. Even as a beginner I would buy the platform or make one myself. This could void the warranty.

[@headsoftech]

Nice tips mate, you can also go for the catch and release method too.

[@acksonmunthali593]

Nice video! Hey, would you recommend a Mavic Pro Platinum in 2019?

[@headsoftech]

Hey mate, if you're comparing the price set by dji.com, then hell yeah, it's A$1,000 cheaper than the Mavic 2 Pro so definitely.

[@acksonmunthali593]

@@headsoftech Thanks, i have a wedding filming business. Would i lose much on video quality?

[@headsoftech]

To be honest, I prefer the quality out of the Platinum because the Mavic 2 seems very soft to me... You do get better colour range out of the Mavic 2, but you may find that some of your subjects are unexpectedly blurry. There's more video reviews on this issue. If you're looking for the best quality, I'd go for the Phantom 4 Pro 2.0 which is also A$100 cheaper than the Mavic 2 Pro RRP.

[@HAZELELSOBRESALIENTE]

I think I need Wi-Fi on my phone to be able to fly it to the Platinum

[@GSLightingSolutions]

Thanks for this video. I will probably use it when I get my own mavic pro platinum in a few days. The price dropped when the pro 2 came out.

[@headsoftech]

Congrats on the deal mate!

[@GSLightingSolutions]

Thanks.

[@ilir0202]

Just did it as you sad . It’s all good. Finally up and running. Thank you very much. That was driving me crazy. Valuable recommendation.

[@headsoftech]

Nice one, glad it worked mate

[@v1c1ous0ne]

Version 2.0s are usually nicer ......platinum could be good enough until the mavic 2 goes thru it's issues which everything new has

[@headsoftech]

Great point, still worth waiting until Mavic 2 comes though as these puppies will go on sale.

[@bradycrane888]

Great video! Very helpful! How long does the Remote-Aircraft process normally take? Mine remote has been saying "CONNECTING..." for several minutes. Yes, the aircraft is on.

[@headsoftech]

Hey mate, it should just work, you should try following this guide to force relink the controller to the drone: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fWaVd2eeobdng6M

[@liljizus7321]

How can i conect my samsung s10plus? Is it compatible ?

[@headsoftech]

Should be yeah, I use my Note10+ with my Mavic Mini - the controller is a tight squeeze, but the USB-C connection works well.

[@damianw41]

Cheers mate. Thanks for doing this video. I liked and subscribed. I get my 1st drone (Mavic Pro Platinum) tomorrow in the mail, I'm stoked to say the least. So I'll be checking out more of your videos.

Great review and good instructional. One thing to remember, after the drone has flown, make sure the props do not touch the bottom part of drone. I suggest not touching it either. It's going to be very hot.

If you can wait until the 23rd of January, apparently DJI are doing an announcement and the Mavic 2 is rumoured to be announced then.

[@PrasadVlogsIn]

Vtudio ohh I see.. This is very imp info.. Yes I can wait for 3 days. Hopefully there wont be significant difference in amount.

[@nikrizal72]

Hi..just got my mavic today. Im used to flying bebop 2. Kinda worried and anxious to fly the mavic tomorrow. Just how reliable this thing it is? With and without gps? Thanks.

[@headsoftech]

DJI drones are the most stable drones to fly. They really just hover (unless you're in very very windy conditions) and only move on command. Just make sure you take it off sport mode when first starting off. Regarding GPS, I've only ever flown mine in GPS mode - that's the default - never had a problem getting signal or seen the option to fly without it. Let me know how your first flight goes.

[@spielwerkstudiosrobertmoll1821]

I just got one, and live on the Gold Coast as well. Perhaps we could meet at the Gold Coast Film Makers Guild in Helensvale. Find us on Meetup.

[@headsoftech]

Thanks for the tip, will have to check it out

[@mromro3032]

Really great video thanks Hopefully, my drone nightmare will be over and I will be airborne soon fingers crossed

[@headsoftech]

Thanks mate, and best of luck.

[@charmnGUY]

No one talked about using these drones near salt water and care for them?

[@headsoftech]

Hey mate, I personally haven't had any problems flying the drone out in the sea, water damage is covered if you have DJI Care, you just need to make sure to fish the unit out as loss isn't covered.

6:30... that lock screen tho

[@chadgilmore5046]

This drone isn't for a first time flyer if you want too get into this hobby the MM is the one for beginners..Your first drone you will crash especially if you have never flown one at all and crashing this drone could be an expensive crash..Never seen any Aussies who had a drone sight they are mostly Yanks..I live in Melbourne man Surfers Paradise has changed so much from this video

[@headsoftech]

Nice one mate, yeah Surfers is constantly changing still, and YES, be very careful and control your excitement to avoid crashes. But, one thing to say is, these DJI drones are very very solid (excluding the Mavic Mini), crashes are usually down to user error rather than gusts of wind.

[@seanjoe1704]

woww.. too much to set.. made my head spin. yes, I will buy this drone in 2019. hope the price will reduce by that time.

Still on the fence........waiting for drones to be a little easier.........lots of wasted time with firm updates and calibrations......"ain't nobody got time for dat!".......although might change my mind to get the platinum tomorrow lol

[@headsoftech]

Give it a few weeks bro, the DJI Mavic 2 has been spotted, so might be available soon. That way you'll get a better deal on the current gens or buy the hopefully better drone if you got the extra cash.

can the "shutdown" combination on the remote control be deactivated?

[@stevep.8706]

Great video and I bought the Mavic Pro Platinum Fly More Combo after watching it. It's my first drone and it's fantastic. The only thing I'm really annoyed about is after buying a Crystalsky monitor to use with it. Not only does the Crystalsky not come with a charger but I also find that the charger that comes with the Platinum Pro won't work with it. It does not have the required plug to connect to the battery charging hub. So, after paying nearly £450 nearly a week ago for my Crystalsky I'm now waiting for a charger for it to arrive. It's a bit like buying a buying a torch without a bulb included. Furthermore I can't find a seller anywhere that points out that the Crystalsky doesn't include a charger or that the Mavic Platinum Pro charger won't work with it at the point of sale. How DJI must assume that I have a charger from a Phantom or Inspire to charge my Crystal sky is unbelievable! Keep up the great work. Thanks :)

[@headsoftech]

Thanks for the tip mate, let me know how you find it once the charger arrives.

[@chriswilliams210]

So hard to wait for Magic Pro 2 for my 1st drone.....

I don't know, I'm debating if I want to continue with this hobby, from the ever changing rules and registration and now with them needing to know were our drones are as soon as we click the on button, It has begun to lose its luster one quick question, is insurance required in your neck of the woods

[@headsoftech]

It's not required here for hobbyists, but I think it's a smart choice to have it just in case.

[@anthonywopaness2927]

@@headsoftech I agree 100% , nothing would defuse a situation faster than letting the other party know your insured, I just don't want the FAA to decide this for me, I think most owners of $500.+ Drones have common sense to know that flying in a city where odds are greater for costly mistakes. To be honest is it not what all this hub bub is all about, believing we lack self control at airports or around the public parks, but to be really honest I tend to believe it has more to do with the delivery aspect and how they want the open sky to be for it.

[@bigd2829]

An older drone by todays standards but my dad has had this drone for a little while, and he brought it up for me to use since he barely uses it. A good one to practice on before I decide to get a newer one. Anyway, so excited to go flying at my local park and capture some beautiful sunsets! Thanks for the video!

[@4xplore64]

Great video mate, just bought this package last week. Took off to a nice 4WD spot on the beach (Perth) for New Year’s Eve and got some great footage. Didn’t realise they may be bringing a newer version out since the Platinum has just recently been released... oh well, still a great drone and ideal for 4WD and MountainBiking 👍🏽

[@headsoftech]

Ah man, that sound ace! So glad your first flight went well, are you going to be posting the videos on your channel? If so, can't wait to see them. But, just be careful as you're not meant to fly at night time, unless you have permission. So make sure you don't upload anything that'll get you in trouble.

[@4xplore64]

Not yet, well on KZbin anyways, I just loaded it onto my Instagram site if you want to take a quick look (69matro) and maybe get a chuckle 😂. Not sure why the video looks crappy on instagram, it looked great on my iPad Pro when edited with IMovie, maybe because I uploaded it in 4K. Thanks for the advice, we took the footage during the day👍🏽 subbed to your channel

[@richbasso9747]

Would you guys recommend this Drown for a beginner? I noticed the cheaper ones are much harder to use..

[@headsoftech]

Yeah it's a solid drone, I now own a Mavic Mini and I do like that one too, however the non-Mini is more reliable - better connection and has more sensors. The only thing you need to remember is - don't get carried away, always keep it in sight and don't take risks.

[@headsoftech]

Thanks mate, I know you've already ordered yours, but there's lots of rumors around a Mavic Pro 2 coming very soon, so if you can hold out a little longer - it might be worth waiting for it - you can always refuse delivery for a refund.
