[@JevenDovey]

If you're thinking of buying a DJI Mavic 2 then help support my channel by using my DJI link :) goo.gl/ER7GyC

[@hayypapi4281]

Jeven Dovey do I put the propellers first

[@freeriderfrank6411]

can change the flight sticks so right stick is throttle ? or up and left is forward

[@scottsmith6451]

Are the camera the same on both the pro and zoom? Another vid I watched said the pro has some more features then the zoom?

[@hayypapi4281]

Scott Smith yes the pro2 is better tho

[@JevenDovey]

Hayy Papi Pro is better sensor but no zoom so it’s a preference. I actually like the zoom better after flying both

[@greysky65]

I just purchased a Mavic 2 pro... I’m heading to Best Buy after work to pick it up and I’m so excited that I can afford such a perfect gift for myself. I’m 55 and feel alive ! I can’t wait to fly her.....😀🤟🏻🙌🏻 I think it’s the Cadillac of drones. Yippee 😁

[@JevenDovey]

Good choice! Love this drone!

[@A.D.D.O.C.D.T]

I just got one too mate ,feels better than a new car. More like alien tech 👽💯🤙🇦🇺 Have fun champion.

[@joestewart5692]

LOL THEY PAID U EH?

[@johndickinson4594]

You taught me in 30 mins all the things I've been trying to learn since I bought my drone 2 years ago. I finally have the chance to sit down and learn to use it properly and this video was the perfect teacher for me! Thank you!

[@ShaneBaker]

Thanks. Probably the best introduction to the Mavic 2 I've seen.

[@ZaireeyKhairuddin]

I love the way you explain, This is the best Mavic 2 Drone tutorial I've ever seen in KZbin

[@mynameisfrank6519]

I never went to college but now I know how the students feel! But thank you so much for all the info. That was a straight up ninja display of how to understand your drone if you already understood your drone!

[@vonelders]

Just bought a Mavic 2 Zoom. This video was really helpful, thank you.

[@captainjohnnybahama2249]

The most complete tutorial I have seen. Ijust moved up from and Air 2 to a Pro 2 Zoom and this was invaluable. Thanks.

[@leopacatang907]

This is the best Mavic 2 Drone tutorial I've ever seen in KZbin... period!

[@sittieainie9871]

Dude, I've been searching for this kind of guide for a while, thank you!

[@dclaici]

Thank you Jeven In depth, to the point and very very useful. I would have been lost without you explanatory video

[@toddpalmer3507]

Love the level of detail, showing all the actual buttons etc

[@shahdynasty6933]

Very useful, thank you especially for us rookies. First time drone owner, I’ve ordered the Mavic 2 Pro and the Fly More Kit, just waiting for it to be delivered!

[@janeborg2510]

Just bought myself the pro 2. Never had a drone before so I am looking forward to follow the instructions on the video. Can’t wait to start flying.

[@RobertCabralDogs]

helped a bunch!!!! thanks!

[@M-Capone]

Best video I have watched for the drones. I just picked up my mavic 2 Pro yesterday, along with the fly more pack. I charged everything and played around with it just for a few minutes. Then I watched your video today. I was completely uncomfortable yesterday with my drone, afraid to do anything with it. Now that I've watched your video, I'm much more at ease and can now enjoy my drone I think. So thanks for the awesome video.

[@RaymondYocum-uw5hd]

I love my drone but I didn't use if for two years and I forgot a lot of things. Good to look at a refresher video. Thanks!

[@Mr.Puzzle]

Thanks! Helps me to learn while waiting for mine to arrive! :)

[@JevenDovey]

Awesome!!

[@michaelwood5519]

Same here! Ordered the drone from Best Buy, and the fly-more kit from Ebay. Should be here Tuesday. I also ordered the hard/foam box to keep it all safe. Can't wait to fly this thing, I've been wanting one since they came out on the market. This is going to put my Yuneec Q 500 4k to shame in every way. Hopefully I can sell the Yuneec.

[@blackbookp7269]

🤣🤣🤣🤣same

[@zackburdynski]

I'm doing the same, while waiting for the zoom to arrive.

[@dennisdetore9024]

Great tutorial! Chomping at the bit, waiting for my drone to arrive. After rewiewing many drones, your information was a major factor in my choosing the Mavic 2 Zoom! Dennis

[@steveh638]

My wife and I just bought the Mavic 2 zoom. We are looking forward to taking many great pictures here in New Hampshire. Your video has a lot of great information. I’ll be watching this over and over again. Great job thank you

[@mazdaram226]

Cheers for that video, I’m new to these drones and now I feel less anxious regarding doing my first flight.. thank you

[@OindreelaGhosh]

Probably the best DJI Mavic tutorial on youtube... that too for free!

[@Olufemii]

This was REALLY helpful man!!

[@garylanum6098]

Jeven I recently purchased and now have my Mavic Zoom, haven't flown it yet and that's the reason for this posting. I've watched a number of videos for drone beginners but I must admit yours was the most user friendly to me which also includes a checklist which made it even better. I'll use all your tips on my first flight.

[@LarryGreen]

Thank you so much for a complete and precise instructional video. There is no fluff and garbage, just pure teaching! Subscribed

[@fredday692]

Great help for a first timer. Your a great teacher, thank you

[@Martin-uz7uq]

Hello Jeven today i bought my first Mavic 2 pro i cant wait to fly! and thank you for your tutorial its really usefull info.Regards from the Netherlands.

[@Lordvader330]

Excellent! it really takes the fear away from first time flying. Thank you!

[@FrijoleBlanco]

Thanks so much, Jeven! Just finished watching and subscribing for more tips and tricks. This is my first drone and I am definitely a visual learner, so this was great and appreciate you taking the time to put this together!

[@robsparrow]

This was absolute class. Thanks for taking the time to take us through the set up of the Zoom.

[@JevenDovey]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@TheMercyknight]

Really good video, thank you! I'm saving up now!

[@Kay-Dex]

Didn't think id actually finish this tutorial. Very helful, thank you so much!

[@TracyDavis904]

Appreciate the time you spent putting this together! Not a new drone pilot but it was good to go over everything again to feel more comfortable.

[@richardshippy2016]

Thank you for all your great videos, brilliant work!

[@Phil-ud2vv]

Thanks for a great tutorial mate , wifey and I are planning to purchase a mavic drone your video has inspired us even more now to go fetch one Cheers from down under 🇳🇿🇳🇿😎😎

[@1300silvio]

i have the zoom and the spark ,your videos are the first thing i look for before fying... keep it up

[@davaoeagle72713]

Great presentation.... I just got my drone 3 days ago. I will keep watching your video and learn from you. You're a good instructor. Thank you and God bless.

[@helziephoton]

So excited it just arrived still in its plastic wrap going to open it soon as i study this several times thanks jeven seriously helpful 😍✨

[@rpe97]

helzie photon Excited for you! I got my Zoom 3 weeks ago and I’m loving it!

[@PAULDIMITRISKYRIOU]

Thanks for creating such a great user friendly, easy to follow beginners guide. Awesome content bro. :)

[@dannypboy]

Thank you just bought a mavic 2 zoom and this guy got me going great and easy to follow thank you again Daniel from London

[@Laura-hv7vz]

Definitely I love the way you explain, like you said, now it’s time to practices. Thanks a lot. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@DoctaM3]

Jeven, got my drone today--just recorded my unboxing too. One thing about flight that I would love to hear your thoughts: For the antenna, I was taught that they should be perpendicular to the direction of the drone so they should be upward not straight ahead. In fact, I am pretty sure I saw something similar said on a DJI tutorial. Is that no longer true? Awesome review BTW!

[@JevenDovey]

Yea flat and perpendicular to where the drone is. I wasn’t as clear as I should have been in the video

[@vessk000]

That's the guide I was looking for !!!

[@stevestojan]

I know this video is approaching 2 years olds, but I appreciate this as mine arrives next Tuesday. Thanks again!

[@jeepofmike1]

Thank you very much Jeven, my new mavic 2 pro is coming in today and i feel more confident already...And this is my 5th drone in 4 years...

[@lnccollision]

Good video, thank you 👊🏼

[@jinniu]

I'm buying this in China so thanks for covering absolutely everything, I was starting to wonder if I would need to use the Chinese version of the app but this shows that I won't need to by downloading that. (otherwise it would might force me to use Google maps which doesn't work in China)

[@jimgilbertswheelsanddeals]

Javen, This is probably the best instructional video I have ever watched on KZbin... thank you..

[@johnlockwood6006]

Still a great video. I have had my Zoom for about 7 months. I watched this video before I bought it, and came back to it now. After the latest firmware update, I had some issues in the app with some settings. This video helped me get back on track with it! Thanks for the video!

[@meadelaney]

Jeven...... This is by far one of the best how to videos of the Mavic 2 app I have seen. For that matter it's the best explanation of the go 4 app on the web… I've even learned things about my current Mavic pro that I didn't even know existed. I had so many things on the controller screen that I never knew about until I watched your presentation. Very in depth, very specific, and the pointer on the screen is so helpful. I've seen many other video presentations mention features and you don't know what they're touching on the app screen. But I could follow yours easily. DJI should Have this video posted on their website and they should be hiring you as their official demonstration presenter. Obviously this is an example of the kind of in depth and effective teaching you do in your videos ( do you teach Final Cut Pro or Premier?).... I plan on purchasing you're film school and I will use your link to purchase the Mavic 2 pro. (seeing the live screen of the auto and manual camera controls on the go 4 app convinced me I need to get the pro) . Again thank you very much for your engaging and extremely effective presentations.

[@thischangeseverything972]

DJI website is useless for their product info videos!

[@karlleonard2316]

I'm in need of a repeat of this video with better mouse highlights. ADD, can I get something that can be a bit more attention drawing please, the app explanation rocks n I love it but cant follow well =(

[@Nnip9]

Really outstanding! So much great info. I plan on watching this more than once, of course. 30 meter practice area for beginners - how great is that!

[@gireeshmadhavan1266]

Are you writing an essay?? 😂😂

[@jogodaidosa]

Mate I usually like to learn everything by myself but I think with drones is another case. You helped me so much with an easy to understand and quick tutorial. So excited! Yew

[@bluesirian]

Thank you so much for all the important info, you talked me into purchasing the Mavic 2!!! Can't wait to fly!!!

[@LimitlessPavement]

Thank you for taking the time to put this video and basic user's guide together!

[@babauxandthepeacemakers]

Thanks for sharing! Great information for us newbies. Successfully launched the maiden voyage and the drone is still in one piece:-) More to come!

[@JevenDovey]

Awesome! Happy flying

[@richardmiller9752]

absolutely a great video, my mavic pro 2 comes Monday, I have a regular mavic pro now. you did a fantastic job. retired Police Captain, State of Michigan Richard Miller thanks

[@nonrevhogan8938]

Mavic Pro coming tomorrow and so glad I found your channel so thanks. Probably have some questions later.

[@droneuk]

Thanks for doing this video and a great in depth look. I watched a video like this when I got my first Phantom and getting the Mavic 2 Pro next week and rather than having to read everything I know have a much greater understanding of this new drones features and set up so feel much better when I get it. Thanks Andy

[@blackstone9515]

can you show us how to stream live with the drone and other cameras in a Multicam with switcher

[@DanCurrier]

Awesome video. Tons of value.

[@JevenDovey]

Thank you!!!

[@ortopeetvic737]

Have flown a lot of smaller drones to practice and now ready. Just ordered my Mavic Enterprise and after the video I am super excited for it to arrive Tx mate

[@hallgrimurragnarsson3032]

Thanks a lot Jeven, I come back to your tutorial again and again, greetings from an Icelandic user

[@alirazvan6651]

Thanks for your great tutorial. I have a questions: Is there any way to stop remote to charge the phone? Thanks again

[@SCAerialsSteveCarpenter]

Hey Jeven, very good instructional video! This video can also help all DJI pilots, not just the new Mavic 2 owners because of all the details you covered on the Go4 App; I know some setting will not be available to all models! Thanks for getting the video out so quickly, I'll be posting links to the vid to other social media site too. Thanks again!

[@chrisl3977]

Steve Carpenter hi steve my Mavic Pro 2 arriving this evening can’t wait to get it up and running.i follow Bill the drone reviewer and he is a big fan of yours great that you like this tutorial from jeven there’s loads of tutorials out there on this but I’m going to use this one I’m a complete newbie so will need all the help I can get😊,happy flying Steve,Chris L.

[@SCAerialsSteveCarpenter]

Chris L Congratulations on getting your new drone! Yes, with every new drone comes a new learning curve, especially when they have updated their original App! I didn’t buy a new Mavic 2, I have a Mavic Pro and live it and its capabilities. Yes, there are several other channels out there that have or will have continued instructional video on the M2’s. Most of all have fun and fly safe Chris, we were all newbie at one point! Went to your page but no contact to pass along other info.

[@zclarkeman]

Awesome video.. I’ll rewatch this over and over.

[@Treehousedreamsfilms]

Thanks, Jeven, for being so thorough! This video will be a great resource.

[@benec5816]

I am not going to watch this yet as I won't to conquer my Spark before I start drooling on these ha ha stay safe see ya and thanks for getting this out so fast

[@pvitale]

FYI 8:15 make sure you try all batteries at home . On these drones batteries need updates as well,. Nothing worse than getting out there and realizing you didn’t update not only drone but all your batteries. Enjoy!

[@mjdb71]

How does batteries get updated?

[@fkraft92]

@@mjdb71 put the battery in your drone, turn it on, and it will tell you that there are inconsistencies in the firmware and it will recommend that you update it. Your batteries have a small onboard computer.

[@a.f.3996]

I learned that the hard way when I travelled to Europe... I got home and updated all of my batteries and even checked to see if the damn propellers needed to updated too 😂

[@christyfanelli1717]

Thanks for posting! Wasn't sure why that was happening and thought it might have been tied to another problem.

[@johnv341]

Thankyou! 5 years since you made this video, and 1 day since I bought a used Mavic 2 Pro. Very very helpful video. From Oz.

[@RichBluesBand]

This is the best Mavic 2 Drone tutorial. Thank you so much.

[@hannesconrads6423]

Wow I want to buy me the zoom so this is very helpful

[@basnikkelson7120]

I almost bought the Mavic 2 but luckily I first read this: sites.google.com/site/bestmavic2/

[@richardpercell1997]

Jevon, it seems to remain confusing between the H vs the zoom models. Do they both have dog, are the photo and picture qualities close on both. I like the tricks with the zoom if the quality and other capabilities are near the same. Looking at compressed video and photos on channels may not be what one really gets in person. Which one do you really want to carry in your bag?

[@georgeblackwell2306]

I’m deciding between the Zoom and the Pro. Why did you choose the Zoom?.... Cost, the zoom or something else...

[@IJUSTWANNAFLYDJIDRONES71]

Lot of information it just came to fast. Had to rewind a lot i appreciate the information thanks

[@douglasfisher4068]

Randy Williams ur just slow

[@nicolisperguier]

Will be the First time flying a drone. Thanks for your video!!!

[@20username09]

I'm getting the DJI Mavic 2 Pro soon, this video is amazing! I will be checking out your other vids, thanks for making this!

[@grandad-andy5819]

Really REALLY want one of these. just have to make my wife understand that i could die without this lol. £1500 hmmmm ;-)

[@felipedieguez2076]

here it cost like 1.500.000 chilean pesos, it hurt the wallet but i want mine too

[@TheAVJedi]

Just do it. It’s easier to ask for forgiveness than permission 😁

[@amateurmakingmistakes]

You've given a fantastic presentation here for novices! Thank you!!

[@gorancakmazovic]

Great, clear and very detailed guide. You really did your best to explain everything nicely and this is to everyone's respect as it is very helpful.

[@TravisHeinze]

30:32 I thought something broke here

[@prmath]

J, Listen up....... the male connector that plugs into the left side of the remote for charging has a joint on the metal that MUST face up. Fatal damage to the remote is very possible if not done correctly. When comparing all three of the little “pigtails” .......the way they lay in place in the handle.....on the metal part that goes in..........the joint on the top the orientation THIS is the ONLY WAY as Not to damage the female part of that sorryAss connection. Also, the little adapter must be the same but atleast it has a DJI on the correct side to face up. Pardon my French but how STUPID of the DJI company to do this. Sorry if I didn’t make myself clear about this problem. Please be careful, guys

[@rotospace]

Great point(s)...I'm curious why they couldn't just make that USB-C.

[@jameshunt8501]

nice video buddy, really helpful, thank you. Hopefully after following your guides I will have a safe 1st flight. Many thanks

[@north2alaska]

Jeven; I just obtained my first ever drone a few days ago (Mavic 2 Pro) and have found your videos most helpful. I think a couple more dry runs at home of connecting the drone to the controller and going through the app and tweaking the settings I will be good to go. Nervous, but excited for sure. I expect to weather to improve here in the PNW and am hopeful to obtain stunning shots of Mt. Rainier and the Puget Sound. Thanks again for your “ Well done” training clips.

[@FloNFC]

To big... My Dji Air is the best for me at this moment...

[@latintreasure85]

So helpful! I would have never been able to set up my drone without this video

[@piyaji840]

Getting this drone just coz of you !!! Very thorough tutorial, would request others to subscribe to you. Great work 🙏

[@gedheaton1415]

I followed JD's corresponding vid to the mavic air,that which I found invaluable along with Drone film guide helped me no end, watching with interest.

[@razedc8010]

Great guide. One thing the DJI rep told me before purchasing my drone was to keep the controller antennas pointed UP and not down or your range won't be as good. You have them pointed down in this tutorial.

[@Explorick]

I have been waiting for my drone for a week and I am really scare about flying it, but I got to say this tutorial was really great. I actually did step by step everything and I feel a lot better to go out and fly. I cannot wait for more tutorials.

[@kc-me6wl]

Great beginner tutorial thank you. Just got one of these & here are my top tips for anyone who comes across this video & has just purchased one or is thinking about one. 1. Get insurance for your drone ASAP! 2. Look to see if you need to register your drone with any local authority. 3. Pay attention to local no fly zone areas 4. For the love of all that is good for your drone: learn the emergency stop command to stop the motor blades from spinning( you will use it at some point) 5. Make sure to grab a helipad landing for your drone - this will allow it to land anywhere regardless of terrain 6. Above all enjoy - these things are incredible fun :)

[@teresaaldaeefy5570]

I got one last week. I am excited to learn how to use it. My first one.

[@adventureswithgopher_slaye2642]

I have watched this video before but I am taking UAS training for work and they sent me this video as prep. So congrats! The State of Ca is using your video for training.

[@dustinthacker]

Thank you very much for this well-produced, informative, and clear video. I just purchased a Mavic 2 zoom and this video was extremely helpful.

[@kitbarton7700]

Thanks! Super helpful for new drone pilots.

[@BolognaPONYProduction]

Great videos Man! I went ahead and purchased a DJI mavic Air 2, about months ago, and have got tons of information and tutorials off your videos. Congrats to a new sub!

[@phillipgriffin]

Great video Jeven. Thank you so much for taking the time to generate and post this continent. Beautiful flying location too by the way!

[@aimancingalamliar]

This is what I'm looking for. Thank you so much😍👍

[@IanB1015]

I feel like there are a million unboxing videos but very few "this is what you do now" videos that go step by step. Awesome! Thank you!

[@katiemcelhaney]

Thanks for helping me corquor my insecurities of setting up and flying my first drone!

[@cherylsmith4981]

This is an amazing beginners guide, it has helped me so much. Thank You

[@vietflorida]

Thanks for your lesson about the DJI Mavic...

[@jasminejassergeant5052]

Bought one today. Watched your video. 10/10. The checklist too is gold! Printed and in the field. Off to fly. 😀

[@richwright1782]

excellent overview! i will be going through this series, in its entirety!
