MAVIC AIR 2 Review - Part 1 In Depth - FLY MORE COMBO Unboxing, Setup, Updating! Pros & Cons

[@AshWestElectrical]

I dont even consider purchasing a drone unless I've seen your reviews, DJI should definitely send you units, you're the only reviewer of drones I pay attention to, fair and balanced reviews, thanks for the content!

[@julianmclean3869]

Ash, agree totally however I note that DJI took a different approach with this release; a lot of "unknown" reviewers seemed to get the Drone first..........Dustin, your thoughts ?????

[@MS-zi2ft]

U got that right with your comment!

[@MikeKinney8675]

@@julianmclean3869 This one reviewer, I won't say his name, he goes by his first name "blank the drone reviewer" he is allways lying, he said me and Dustin are good friends and I was surprised he didn't get a mav air 2 from DJI, I f the guy ever even watched Dustin he would know that he has bought every DJI drone himself. I know because Dustin told us he has. The guy was trying to ride Dustin's coat tails, and the guy hardly ever flies he just talks about them.

[@DustinDunnill]

My first thought would be they have a connection with Dji dealers. Since the dealer would have some stock waiting for release day they may have sent some early to promote their store possibly under DJI's radar.. not sure but it makes sense. I've heard DJI is very picky on who they choose to give samples to directly and they are usually the ones that are larger more promotional channels.

[@DustinDunnill]

@Mike I've seen a few channels claim we are good friends even though we've never talked or maybe only had an email or two between us.. lol. I honestly don't remember ever corresponding with said reviewer. It's funny I just got an email yesterday from them though. It's a bit silly to me to claim your good friends with someone you've never spoken to or hardly associated with 🤷‍♂️.

[@aaron_r.574]

I don't think anyone makes reviews as good as this guy.

[@bryantnojang709]

Most aren't very in depth

With one exception he didn't show all the alternate stick settings . Mode 1 , mode 2 , custom , etc.

Best reviewer is back! Amazing one, cannot wait for flight test!

[@harrisongray3335]

This guy is the best. Honest review. I have spent hours watching other Mavic Air 2 KZbin videos and still learned things in this video that no other creator talks about.

[@Enselladus]

One small thing to correct you on Dustin, ADS-B does not alert other aircraft of the drones presence, it just alerts you to other aircrafts presence.

[@stevensmith4460]

Drone newbie here. I purchased the Mavic Mini in March! I love it!! I loved it so much, I just purchased the Mavic Air 2!

[@MikeKinney8675]

Dustin, your the only reviewer that I watch and unboxing, because your so damn good at it. Your the best man.

[@DustinDunnill]

I'm flattered Mike! So glad you enjoy the content 🍻

[@DustinDunnill]

You bet Justin. Thanks for all of your help and experimenting 🍻

[@zer0-in27]

Your one of my favorite channel because you really stretch it out when you do the range test and able to make it back. When will you do one for the Mavic air 2?

[@BillTheDroneReviewer]

Glad to see you got yours Dustin ! Always look forward to your reviews - straight up and honest !

[@elliotmiller3567]

have you heard of the problem where the batteries don't. barge from the hub. something about hibernation mode.

[@csc-photo]

Nice review & unboxing, thanks! Re: ND filters - these are used mainly for video, so you can slow your fps & shutter in daylight to achieve a more cinematic look (24 fps + 1/50 shutter, for example).

[@lennarthyland666]

Been waiting for you to do this one. Saving it for tonight :)

[@mikenichols2619]

Awesome thanks Dustin I’m wondering did you do the Autel Evo 2 yet ??

[@DustinDunnill]

In the works 🍻

[@craigwflys]

By far the best unboxing video I've seen so far. Don't forget to cycle the other two batteries just in case there was a battery firmware update. Looking forward to your infamous range test 👍

[@johnhutchinson3820]

Hello Dustin. Just got this at Xmas. Great video. Do you have to do update on all 3 batteries?

[@DustinDunnill]

Congrats. Yes 🍻

[@wistube1994]

I've been waiting for that video too and the only real range test on KZbin.

[@RONNIEMVP1]

Did you order this directly from Dji? I noticed the white letters on the battery instead of grey which means there's a difference in the battery.

[@DustinDunnill]

Yes

[@starwarslegoboy777]

The ND filters are good for video to set your shutter speed to 1/2x the framerate for a more cinematic look with the natural motion blur! Great video as always!

[@Floaf1]

Lowering shutter speed is good when flying with the sun from the front shining through the propellers so you don't get the annoying flickering too.

[@sethbyas2452]

I am going to buy the Mavic Air 2 and I have been waiting for you to get it. I have watched all of your DJI drone reviews.

[@alt-w7130]

What is the weight more than 250 grams? Can it be mounted to a home computer?

[@landkruiser1095]

Just bought this with fly more combo. Your videos are a big help for a beginner like me. 👍

[@spiriter666]

Yeeey, new episode. Finally! Cheers from Poland!

[@shotgun4257]

Still today this drone is incredible!! Some of the new features like cruise control are awesome, but this is truly a solid drone. And I agree with you, it is the 2 Pro just shrunk down

[@aletop1gg]

You have to charge the batteries with the one battery at time charger,or the batteries can be blocked forever

[@BASSstarlet]

He said in the video, one battery at a time.

[@generallee9517]

He said he has it on the multi charger charging 1 at a time but this guy said you have to charge on the single charger 1 at a time orit will be bricked. Don't use the multi charger when you 1st charge the battery then use the multi charger.

[@DustinDunnill]

I didn't have this issue. Was charging 2 on multi charger while doing review with one in Mavic. Then I added the third to the multi chager and they all work and fly fine for me.

[@aletop1gg]

@@DustinDunnill ok

[@aletop1gg]

@@DustinDunnill it can have another issue,that you can fly one time ok and then it cannot charge the second time

[@aiscforlandollc7369]

I never ever watch unboxing videos...unless they are yours. Great job with this 1st vid in the series. Looking forward to your brutally honest review of the flight, functions and range... Thanks for putting so much effort into these videos...

[@andreshernandez3129]

Awesome! Range test soon?

[@witkidone]

You probably noticed already but theres a lil "V" shape to the pads/bumpers that secure the phone so they dont actually press down on the buttons themselves allowing you to center your phone on the controller perfectly. You can look from either side of the controller at the pone buttons along the top or bottom edge of the phone to see the air gap where the actual buttons are.

[@MrRJC1991]

Let's Go !!! We have been waiting.

[@sandeepatharinda6205]

Wow.. Great explanation ever. I'm going to buy my one tomorrow. So exited. Still watching the video.

11:20 ND filters are for taking video. It helps you control your motion blur for a cinematic effect.

[@photographyjapan]

They wont probably not send you any advance copy of any of their products because of your honesty. Keep up the good work!

[@TheModernModeler]

So excited for the range test, your range tests are the only true range tests!

Heyo. Nice to see you cover the mavic air 2. Hope you and your family are well. 🙂

How can you record voice sound when you're flying I used to be able to do it with the spark but I can't do it with the Air 2

[@dragkhorus3486]

Just a heads up you may brick the batteries charging on the multi charger if possible use the single charger first, there was an issue with the multi charger and I do not know if it still is occurring 😄

[@drb1803]

thanks for the great reviews, I have been watching lots over the last few months and finally bit the bullet and went for the mavic air 2, and it is a great drone.

I've literally waited for this series since before the drone was released. You're pretty much the reason i've taken an interest in drones, I just happened to come across your Mavic Mini review, and after that I was looking to buy one, but rumors said the Air 2 was coming, which I purchased and got delivered on launchday. I want to see you push this thing to the limit with a brutal range test! Easily best reviewer of drones on the interwebs.

[@UniqueJ7Styles]

I looking to purchase that exact comtroller for my mavic 2 pro. Where can i purchase that controller separate?

[@ericcharlton311]

Very comprehensive review and instructional video-DJI should send you promo drones just because your instructional walk through reduces their customer service calls by 50% because you answer questions before they are even asked and you are so detail oriented. You have a real talent for this kind of teaching-thanks for taking the time to educate us!!

[@proreadgame8462]

Very good review. Keep up the good work. Very helpful before buying.

[@mtmskogserviceas7704]

Hey. You should have read the manual on how to charge them individually. Because of the hibernation mode. It can harm the batteries if you multicharge them at once for the first time. Just a note to all the new buyers. I always look at your videoes. Great stuff

[@ChetMcMillan]

The only review I have been waiting for. I’m planning to purchase one soon. These click bait guys with their 21 issues I have “teasers”. They need time to come up with a list first. Finally some new content to watch after work!

[@lockieaustin442]

Hey Dustin nice review, I was wondering if you are eventually going to do a review on the autel evo 2 or not?

[@Enselladus]

If anyone were to get DJI's new releases you would have thought Dustin would be first on the list. Nobody else matters. What are DJI playing at?

[@commonsenselogic]

Just a note: each battery has to be charged individually before using the multi charging port.

[@RobRestoredMorgan]

Thank you so much for this video!!! My Mavic Air 2 will be here tomorrow (Fly More Combo with DJI Care Refresh). I'm coming from the Mavic Pro (which I crashed last year). Super excited to fly again, but a little anxious after my crash, and no flight time in a year. I will be using this video series a lot!!! Thanks again!!

[@jimbo8703]

Come on Dustin get that flight review up! Everybody else doing one - yours will be better but we need to see it!

[@jokerman213]

Another awesome video. Hows are you and ohana doing ? Good I hope. That air sense will come in handy in places I fly. Especially when I am visiting my home in Hilo . Tons of tourist helicopters in the flight path by my uncles house and they tend to fly below 400 feet often.

[@TerryLW]

The MA2 is without a doubt the best drone Dji or anyone else has come out with in recent time. It does everything and then some that they claim it will do.... Absolutely incredible drone.

[@Jeff071]

Would you recommend the Mavic Air2 or the DJI Phantom drones for the Cinematic Photos/Videos

It's a matter of how portable you want the drone. I'd do Air2s 🍻

[@DJNateNYC]

Was waiting for your review

[@kevinbrennan5373]

Hi may I ask a question, what do you do with all the batteries for your drones when not in use? Do you keep them charged or let them run down and charge only when you need them? Great review again, so looking forward to the range test :)

[@Enselladus]

As a general rule you should always avoid running lithium polymer batteries below 10%, if you do, get some charge in it as soon as possible. It is also not good for the battery to be sat for a long time fully charged. When the battery is not being used it should be at around 50% charge to keep it healthy long term.

[@DustinDunnill]

I store them all around at around %50 in lipo safe bags or ammo boxes. Try to cycle them all every 3 to 6 months then store again to keep them healthy 🍻

[@kevinbrennan5373]

I’ve been charging them up to 100 then storing them until 50, then charging again, I do put them in the drone and run the motors until 20% every few weeks..

[@oscr_zen]

question tho, does the old controler work with this drone?

[@DustinDunnill]

I wouldn't think so. It uses different technology: old Air "enhanced wifi" new Air "Ocusync" 🍻

[@oscr_zen]
