The sound is what made it. I was surprised at the video quality, but blown away by the sound. I thought I clicked on a movie instead of a TH-cam video for a second.
The intro was absolutely beautiful. Whenever the scenery changed you put the appropriate music or sounds together like wind, snow, water, the boat horn. Absolutely astonishing !!! And the drone shots were just perfect as well
Coming back to this channel is so refreshing because the audio sounds so good and the video is so good looking. honestly its like an eye massage compared to other channels
I’ve seen almost all the Mavic Air 2 reviews on TH-cam and this is by far the best video demo of what the drone is capable of, combined with Pete’s editing skills this was a masterpiece!
The first part of cinematic footage is awesome, putting all the extra sounds in of the trees and birds and tractor, something that looks so simple but it's just pure elegance.
Peter you remain to be a true influencer and someone I admire for your innovation and creativity. Continue to do what you are and be safe. You inspire me to improve my page given my limitations so thank you for that! 🙏🏼
@@CheeseOnEverything I think it's as much to do with dynamic range as color grade....I agree that grading plays a large part but there's a dimension to the footage that is instantly reminiscent of cinema quality footage and that can only be down to DR (I guess res plays a part, but DR is king)
After using the Mavic Air in all my films, it's still my favorite run-and-gun drone. It has the power to smash through the wind which make all the difference! 💪
the same me , but won`t say is good against strong winds from Atlantic. Perhaps the main issue is with WIFI connection and it is why gonna to switch to AIR II
Peter: "I am going to pull a Marques brownlee on you and say I have been flying this for the past few weeks" Me : Pause the video and click the like button with a huge grin, and continue playing the video
As a watch enthusiast I can't unsee some classic watches that you are wearing in your videos (Avenger, Daytona, Speedmaster and so on) . You could do some sick B-roll with them in a separate video :-)
I have the air 2 and it is incredible for the price. 1 note, buy the fly more combo because it is a great value. It has a 1/2" sensor which is a definite upgrade as well as both 264 and 265 codec. Depending on set up and wind I get around 28 - 31 mins flight time. I would agree with most reviewers that if you need pro lvl pics and vid buy the mavic pro 2, otherwise this is currently the best there is on the market at this price.
I've gotta say, the Fly More Combo is the way to go. The spare batteries alone make it totally worth it, but the carrying bag and ND filters is the cherry on top.
Peter, you make AMAZING stuff! I am very inspired by your content and I am super grateful for all of the information that you are putting out about capturing good drone footage and editing it in Premiere Pro. THANKS!!
TheRealYann ebay is super easy. I’ve sold two things in the past what? Four days? If you take nice pictures, with a good description and price it well it’ll sell fast
When I saw the Toronto footage I was a little concerned that this was more flouting of airspace rules that puts all of us drone pilots in jeopardy. But I checked the airspace maps and I'm impressed how much great footage @gabrielbhappy was able to capture just outside of the Class C airspace that runs through Humber Bay. Good work! Your videos are always incredibly inspiring as well. Such a great range of b-roll that was captured for the opening segment. Thanks for all that you do to help all of us get better as photographers and editors.
FAA: Do not operate UAV’s under low visibility conditions Peter: We’ve been not only practicing social distancing, but also following all local and federal drone rules and regulations Also Peter: Proceeds to include a clip of the Mavic Air 2 in a white-out snowstorm 😂😂
That's not a white out in Canadian standards (excluding the west coast of course) Maybe he applied for a filming permit in the park? That's my plan when I go on hikes.
I’m totally cool with people breaking the “nit-picky” drone rules. I do it myself in fact. I’m not just a fan when people tell such a large audience something that isn’t really true. I don’t have a problem with him breaking the rules however, Peter is obviously a very experienced drone pilot.
Love how you started with the drone footage. Beautiful content as always! I still like my old Mavic Air but i might upgrade to this one soon... As always great work Peter!
The spec's sound great for the money. I would be interested to know more about the low light performance of the camera and where the useable ISO ceiling is. Especially at 48MPS. Because at the moment I'm thinking that why they have the 12MPS option. Maybe you could do another video on this?
@@clouds4media496 Proper battery maintenance is the key.... charge only before flights and don't leave charged for more than 1-2 days. Never leave batteries in a hot car. Don't discharge batteries below 3.2 volts per cell, I think this translates to no lower than about 25%. Don't leave uncharged for more than a day or two... and if storing for long time make sure cells are at 3.8 volts each... so if you're flying a Mavic 2 Pro, which is a 4 cell battery that would be 15.2 volts for the the entire battery. Oh, and one last thing, never charge a battery right after a flight, wait until it cools off before charging it. If you do all these things you will not have any issues with batteries bulging on you. They're expensive, treat them right and they will last a long, long time.
I can’t stop watching this video. The opening scene is amazing. I’m treating myself to one of these Air 2s in the future, in the meantime I’ll keep sloggin’ on until I buy one.
Are you aware of how speed works? if the Mavic Air 2 is as fast as the Mavic Air which has a top speed around 68 kmph so lets say 65 kmph just to be sure, it will then take it 9.14 minuts to fly 10 km so 18.30 minutes to go 10 km and back which still leaves you more than 15 minutes of flight time!
It’s not true 48mp, it’s actually still 12mp with some work arounds. I bought the mavic air 2 and I feel really cheated by this, since I was specifically seeking a higher mp camera and was the deciding factor for me.
"You don't just feel like you're stuck in the past; they found something that worked years ago and just stuck to it, didn't change a thing..." Canon: ....... 👀
Sold my Mavic mini and upgraded to the air 2 fly more kit. And to be honest, I’m blown away at the difference and quality in the air 2... Feels and operates like a 1500-2000 drone and the images it produced confirms that feeling. Still tripping after my first flight I’d recommend it a 100 x over
the intro to this video taught me two things:
1. The Mavic Air 2 shoots great footage
2. Sound design is very important
Were my first thoughts too !
3. I need to move to Canada
The sound is what made it. I was surprised at the video quality, but blown away by the sound. I thought I clicked on a movie instead of a TH-cam video for a second.
@@AllanMcAvoy it's pretty fun over here ngl
Audio alone can make good videos bad and bad videos good.
When people ask what kind of camera to get for TH-cam, I say "a microphone and practice."
The intro was absolutely beautiful. Whenever the scenery changed you put the appropriate music or sounds together like wind, snow, water, the boat horn. Absolutely astonishing !!! And the drone shots were just perfect as well
Beautiful scenes, thanks. ✨💫
0:50 love how perfectly sync the tower on both footage!
Peter: Uses knife so carefully to even remove the outer layering
Casey: Stabs the cover and leaves permanent imprint on Macbook Pro
Gagan Khaira lmao!!! True story.
Hahahaha hahahaha
me too thought about casey's rough way of unpacking when I saw Peter use that knife so carefully!!
Yeah well, Casey is a special animal, soooo...
@@frankvee Yeah, he's definitely "special" alright, a special idiot.
The footage is absolutely sick Pete! But the sound design... you Sir are a Master Illusionist in more ways than one! Great job!
I was about to hate on the “sponsorship” from DJI but then saw the footage and I just kept it to myself.
Diego Valenzuela has hahaha great comment 😂😂
Diego Valenzuela ❤️
Well....Guess who edited that? Peter! 🤣🤣
Lmao
Your totally right!
0:49 I saw what you did Peter and I loved it!
Yes! Lining up the CN tower for both shots. Very subtle but very cool.
Darn that’s is very very cool
Wow. And this is why I love PM!
I actually had to rewatch and notice only on the third watch.. nice!
awesome sound design! cheers from Brazil!
The opening montage was mesmerizing! The snow, forests, treetops, cityscapes, the boat on that water....Just beautiful!!!
Coming back to this channel is so refreshing because the audio sounds so good and the video is so good looking. honestly its like an eye massage compared to other channels
Opening scene almost brought me to tears, it was the song choice and sound design that made it.
I’ve seen almost all the Mavic Air 2 reviews on TH-cam and this is by far the best video demo of what the drone is capable of, combined with Pete’s editing skills this was a masterpiece!
the footage is almost as amazing as the mustache 🙂
Honestly 👀🥰
The first part of cinematic footage is awesome, putting all the extra sounds in of the trees and birds and tractor, something that looks so simple but it's just pure elegance.
Stunning intro. THAT's how you do drone video!
Absolutely insane footage from this drone! Loving my mavic mini for a beginner and continuing to learn!
Peter you remain to be a true influencer and someone I admire for your innovation and creativity. Continue to do what you are and be safe.
You inspire me to improve my page given my limitations so thank you for that! 🙏🏼
Got the sound effects on point in the intro as always, boeschhh!!!
Watched the intro now for like 50 times ... unbelievable how beautiful this short clip is crafted.
That CN Tower transition at 0:50 is just AMAZING!!! 🤩
Wow, the footage coming out of the Air 2 looks glorious.
i got 2 words for u, color grade

My god that Intro. Now that's the Peter I love.
By far the cleanest drone footage out there, sounds are on the button with each scene.......Boss 🤟🏽
Amazing footage bro, I wish I had half the artistic eye you have!!
That sound design! I could almost feel the cold, smell the forest, and feel the wind. Well done!
This is the perfect lighting. it looks so natural.

WoW Peter, the intro moves me. Goosebumps. Keep up the good work, you're a true inspiration.
was waiting for this!
1:27 That ship sound tho ! 😍
Little details matter the most 👍
PM: “Just make vids!” Also PM: Makes a whole ass TH-cam movie.
Pete silently rocking that Roli. Love it, you deserve it!
this is probably the 8th or 9th time I opened this video just to watch 1st 1 minute and 45 seconds. You are Awesome Peter

Already bought three.....
The intro is a true masterpiece, well done Peter!
That transition from skyline to skyline with the CN Tower in the same spot...🙌👏
That is gorgeous footage with great music. I felt totally in the moment!
The intro is a true class apart and I felt the chills of it!
Literal Goosebumps.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Beautiful footage .. Peter never disappoints !
We can see heavens with this
Man that footage was Awsome!! I loved all of it but that snow was WOW. Good stuff and air 2 looking good
Peter Fabulous music man... absolutely love all about the sound and music mix. It makes the drone look good. Well done!
Been waiting for this one!

This feels like an advert rather than a review.

That cinematic opening...wins the internet today!
That sound design though! It made my cry! Soooo good!
“I am going to pull a Marques brownlee on you” that got me laughing 😂
Haha
I sold my Mavic Air because of the unreliable wi-fi. Now that they have upgraded to Occusync its the perfect drone!
Where did you sell it? Because it's actually the same case for me and my phone doesnt fit into the controller anymore :/
Same here, literary was my only complain with that guy
TheRealYann ebay is super easy. I’ve sold two things in the past what? Four days? If you take nice pictures, with a good description and price it well it’ll sell fast
Jonathan Richey yeah maybe u could buy a magic air 2 because it is really has development and it really have the value to buy
Skylatian What’s a decent price for a mavic air in good condition? I was thinking about maybe 500-700 since its the fly more combo

“Significantly lighter without battery” thank you for that insight
Right but at 1:27 the horn was in tune to the music and that's amazing!
Because he put it there
3:48 - Stressed me out enough to SMASH THAT LIKE.
Your videos fill my phone screen without me needing to stretch to fit. Amazing! 😁
been watching you since 50k and your videos have come so far, keep up the good work!!
I just ordered mine I'm sooo hyped, this is gunna be my first drone
Can you share your experience?
About the video quality and tracking feature?
Is it good? I was thinking between this and Mavic Pro 2
Also they mentioned ocusync it's a new controller radio frequency faster response and less delays
MKBHD : I've been using this phone for a couple weeks now....
PETER's answer : I've been using this drone for a couple weeks now....
HA HA HA ...😂😂😂

When the controller is almost as big as the drone.
Fan-N.kn-tastic Sound Editing dude, makes the footage like a mega miniseries opening sequesnce, well done.
That intro was so therapeutic, thank you!

give that money or pay rent
Aaron Rapp Jr I know right!!
I wouldn't buy it because Mavic 2 Pro with a much bigger sensor gives better dynamic range and cleaner footage.

10 km with 34 minutes battery🔋 how you make 10 km in 34 minutes ? 🧐😂
A light jog

It’s 17.65 km/h or 10.97 mph. So that’s not that hard 😂
I mean, legally speaking, you're not really supposed to even go that far because you would lose visual line of sight.
48 MP camera that's INSANE
Yeah but I think it’s a bit of a gimmick, kinda like the new smartphones with 100mp cameras.
That's a stiched set of images that make up the 48MP image, not one single image.
It’s not true 48mp, it’s actually still 12mp with some work arounds. I bought the mavic air 2 and I feel really cheated by this, since I was specifically seeking a higher mp camera and was the deciding factor for me.
@@joseph-the-seventh no, it’s to capture more detail being that the drone is hundreds of feet in the air .
@@King_Gabriel no it's actually a gimmick it being not a true 48mp camera but a quadbayer
