MUST KNOWs before buying the Mavic 2 Pro

[@PotatoJet]

Congrats to Jan Hemstad for winning the drone!

[@semdown]

Ah man that's awesome. This is the first time watching your videos and I have to thank you for such a in depth review. I'm buying a pro 2 tomorrow.

[@Gatolargo879]

Potato Jet , I have a question about this drone. If I travel and my phone is on airplane mode, can I still use my drone?

[@stuartblack7439]

Was going to buy a drone but unfortunately in the UK the law's are changing on where you can fly them.

[@user-pi7nu3us6k]

[@TasteMyStinkholeAndLikeIt]

One of the biggest "Must Know's" is that they're illegal to fly almost everywhere. You can consider a drone to basically be a gun with regard to where you can use it. I was going to get one to pursue car prowlers and lead the cops to them, until I found out that was illegal, lololmao. Hard to see how a market for drones survives when they're illegal almost everywhere. Then again, there are over 100 million guns in circulation.

I had a major shoulder surgery that took my ability to continue racing dirtbikes and also took away any extra money that i had as its all going towards medical bills. I transitioned into live announcing for a couple different race series and would absolutely love to be able to have a drone to capture the events and keep the memories that help me stay involved in racing!

Dude, this video is amazing! I’d say it’s the first proper review i’ve seen in a while. The unexpected stuff is really fun and you stick with the info that matters. How would I expect to see someone air blowing a mavic and a phantom indoors? This is one of the tiny few times I subscribe to a channel just by seeing a video within the relevant tab.

[@jimbolic0809]

I'm watching a whole lot of videos on the Mavic 2 Pro because I can't decided whether I should get one or not, but your video is my favorite and you've sold me on it! You're a great product reviewer. Love your other videos, too. Keep up the awesome work you do!

[@junyili9259]

[@jankonepatzki]

it has only 25 minutes of playtime, because DJI mentions its props are designed to fly straight forward, so holding position and hovering is actually more energy intensive than forward flying

[@matthewcluskey7659]

This is the first video I've seen of yours and I just want to say you did an absolutely fantastic job reviewing the drone. Thank you! I'm very appreciative to find thorough and high-quality review videos such as yours.

@Shane Chuck Also, some drones do not require registration in most states. They should specify. I have a $40 drone that is legal in most places because it is so small.

[@cabriolet330]

The best video I've seen on the Mavic Pro. Great information delivered a rapid speed without any boring pauses. You're an excellent speaker with your ability to talk quickly and make yourself understood. I like the fact that there is a young person out there that does not use the word "like" every 5 seconds. Great job.

Good review Potato Jet! Bought the Phantom 4, 2.5 months ago and im waiting for a replacement from DJI as i drowned it in the salty water of Pleasant Bay, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia Canada a few weeks ago. Thankfully i had purchased the DJI Care Refresh. If i were to buy today 2.5 months later, it would be the Mavic 2Pro. Thanks PJ

[@shaneshuttleworth2979]

Very informative, I like your style of presenting as well, easy going and not afraid of a laugh

[@martinjurik6067]

you can actually decide what you want your drone to do when it looses connection because there might situations where you don´t want it to fly back (maybe because you are in the car driving somewhere and you want the drone to follow you) in which case you can have it hover in set height. Anyway as you mentioned, i got this drone because of the camera specs and I have to say the drone is as good as I thought it would be. Flying it for the first time was so easy and intuitive.

[@650ib]

Thanks to you... I'm getting this drone. Thanks!

Thanks to both you and Chris for making this particular episode. I'm a done beginner (but long time RC racer) and couldn't choose between the Mavic2 and the Phantom4 as we have more windy days than calm here. After watching your collab with Chris where he speaks about the weight of the Phantom being cancelled out by it Sail-Area that , its an easy choice to go for the Mavic 2 Pro. That goes double as I ride a bike too and will need to take it with me when I ride to a job. Thanks Again fellers! Open Sky!

[@darcymiller2246]

I've been watching since around 50K and been loving your videos, especially the "$94 Camera | Can it shoot cinematic video" vi., It was really great and made me start using my first ever camera (a Canon Powershot a495 which costs around £30 second hand these days) again for casual video and photo shooting, to see what I could get with a crappy camera xD. I'd absolutely LOVE a Mavic Pro 2 as the only drone I have is a Bebop 2, which is quite crap. I'd love being able to shoot HI-RES raw photos, not like the crappy output of my Bebop, and the 1-inch sensor would be fantastic for low light photography and videography. Here in London with limited observatories and things of that nature a Mavic Pro 2 would be a dream come true. Hopefully I can win it xD

[@RustyTheOne]

I have a question... Ive been into photography and film making since i was eleven and i was wondering what canera would be good to start with. i have a budget of 400 dollars. So can you guys recommend me some?

[@3dmaxuser]

if you can go to a shop and try a few out. you can get a nice starter DSLR for that sort of money.

[@videodrone4287]

For 400 go for a used dslr or mirrorless that shoots 1080. I like the Sony A series, there should probably be a good A6000 or higher for 400 in the US

[@toriless]

Under 400? Probably a mirrorless, DLSR worth buying are more then that.

[@3dmaxuser]

@@toriless Gear snobbery may make you feel better about yourself but it wont help the OP, there are many DSLRs that can be picked up for under 400 I know because that about the budget I started with.

Agree! Sony A6000 would be great way to start, can probably find some killer deals on it as well.

We've come so far with drones, when I graduated from my technical school 7 years ago, one of the projects from friends of mine was building a drone using one of these sets which was one of the only way to get them and then program an app to control it via iPad. Another friend of mine had the first Parrot drone, but man those were so much worse than the drones we have now.

I enjoyed your description of differences between the different Mavic series of drones. A lot of good basic info in a very condensed format. Good technical descriptions of how to do things, without having to watch hours of agonizingly slow moving step by step examples. Your video answered many technical questions that I had. At least for someone readily familiar with the basic Mavic Pro. I 've been flying for years, but have been agonizing over which new Mavic to buy, and your video convinced me to go with the Pro over the Zoom. The only advantage I can see with the Zoom is the ability to get shots with greater stand off distance, which is nice when you're trying to be stealthy or going in close would otherwise make me nervous. Subscribed! :)

[@MikoajSzczepka]

The bad things about Mavic 2 pro the barrel distortion in log mode not using the whole sensor, it is instead using line skipping to avoid sensor overheat, cousing not the sharpest image. Even the spark is sharper right now.

[@scottw595]

So the mavic 2 pro is flawed?

[@MikoajSzczepka]

Guys I've bought Mavic 2 Pro and I'm sorry for my words. Ok, sharpness is not as good as in P4P, but damn... 10bit and LOG is amazing, and distorion is quite easy to fix in post ;)
