Great video, thanks! Love the horse & cart & the landing at the end! Very cool! I'd love to see a video about the 'scary situations' as a new flyer. Such as weak signal messages (what to do?), flying when you can't see your drone (behind a hill, mountain), in wind, using RTH when you can't see your drone, does RTH work if your signal is weak .... Thanks!
Finally got my MA2 up in the air yesterday at a disused quarry. Old pit digs full of water and has been returned to nature....Frog heaven. Finding a site to practice flying has been a chore with all the council regulations. Being a newbie the learning curve is huge and have MA2 videos coming out my ears. Picked an open site ..set my landing pad....set my RTH elevation higher than the trees...did the vertical horizontal GPS thingo...pulled the sticks down and it burst into life ....left stick up and Im airborne.....OMG what now. Forward backward left right circles ...hey this is a walk in the park. Spent some time getting the muscle memory happening with the controls and tried the RTH function...did the gimbal down to view the pad and took over for a manual land. Did repeats on landing ...also did a few hand landings...pulling the stick down to kill the rotors. Epic....now Im a drone chronic lol Thx Carson nother gr88 vid.
I agree! Carson is the best and I would love to see a short video on how to best use the ND filters. I just got an Air 2 and frankly have no idea when to use the filters that it came with.
I have watched just about all your videos on the mavic air 2 super helpful and useful information about the drone and flying tips in general thanks for all the great videos I feel more comfortable flying and now more knowledgeable about my new mavic air 2 money well spent
Thanks for explaining all that! There were some videos that couldn't simply explain that you have to draw a box around the subject in order to ACTIVATE the follow me mode. I was going crazy looking through tabs for a follow me menu.
I'm a noobie pilot having just bought a DJI Mavic Air 2 and so far I believe I made the right choice. Your presentations are great, they could be made better by being cognizant of the screen angle. In moderately bright sunlight it's hard to see the screen icons. Just my $.02.
Love the youthful exuberance and also plenty of great information. Glad to see a helmet being worn during skateboard rides. I think it should be noted that when the drone kept up with him at a pretty high speed in the car, it was in Sport mode. Can't wait to get mine up in the air tomorrow morning.
Mine arrives next Thursday! I am looking at all tutorials I can before it arrives and I have seen others say that for tracking it had to be in S mode not N mode. I am reading and watching as much as I can before I get my hands on it.
Awesome job Carson. Thanks. I've had my Mav Air 2 just about a month now, and there is so much to know to get the most out of this incredible drone. So I really appreciate the information you bring to us. It is so helpful.
An important note about the Active Tracking mode while runnin in parallel, the drone has no sensors at sides, so if you flight it paralel to you (not as in the video where it is behind even when you have selected parallel) it can crash.
Great vids on the mavic air 2! I'm just a few flights in and am looking forward to learning more about it and trying these features out! I appreciate all of your efforts and hope your channel continues to grow!
Actually, I wrote the previous comment 30s too soon. In the end you said that you have to send the drone back... if you spend this much time producing this much content for DJI you should get a ten pack of these drones for free. So, DJI, I know you're watching, you know what to do.
Great tutorial. Can you set the radius on the quickshots. And on POI, can I keep it at say 15 feet and 15 foot radius? Since obstacle avoidance doesn’t work when it is going sideways, where I am planning on shooting has a trees, so not a lot of room to work with. Need to keep it low and short radius?
Enjoyed your video. Parallel mode is the weak one as there are no side sensors so it usually tracks behind you but off to the side. If you were coming up to trees or poles look out as chances are you will be hoping you bought the Refresh insurance because you will collide. Thanks.
BC, I hadn’t thought of that one why it tends to keep behind the subject but still next to at the same time, makes sense though. I’m sure the Mavic 2 Pro would keep to the side very well without having to like keep behind the subject. I’m glad you enjoyed the video!
What software do you use to edit your drone footage? I have a MA2 coming soon and just want ideas of good software programs that I can use. Thanks! Great video.
I got this DJI Mavic Air 2 for my 30th birthday as a gift to myself two months ago but have only used it for 10 minutes once on a road trip. I really want to use it for running in the woods. Which mode would you recommend for following me in the woods running a 5k in 20 minutes? Would it be safe to have it follow me for 5 kilometers by itself while I run? I ask because of trees and what not. Thank you and great video
Thank you for this. I'm lucky enuf to have a pretty successful YT Vlog where I demo cosmetics & model clothing, shoes etc. Recently I was Verrry surprised when this drone co offered me this free drone to demo. I knew Absolutely Nothing about drones, but I wanted to learn to surprise my husband. "You" have been my teacher for a couple weeks & now I can fly it!! So Ty😘
What a fantastic video! I've had this for almost a year and didn't know most of that. Thank you for making the video! Think there is any chance DJI is going to allow the FPV goggles to work with the Mavic Air 2? Cheers!
Really like your videos, keep up the good work. I am really conceding buying the Mavic Air 2. I have been watching numerous videos and reviews. My question is dose the obstacle avoidance just go up and over an object or will it go around like a pole or tall skinny object.
I watched few videos about the function of Qucikshot on Air 2 by other youtubers. Your video clearly explained the difference amongst "activite track mode", "spotlight mode" and "poi mode" with good demos. I am surprised the drone can able to trace vehicle upto 40mph in open area. Before watching your video, I still confused with those modes now I am well understood. Thank you for your hardwork. It would be great if you could discuss how to un-lock the height restriction limits in coming videos. It seems the market still without codes specific for "air 2" at present (2021 spring) yet!
Question? When you got the active track to work on the ground, was the drone propellers operating. I mean I guess, was it in take off status? Tried to get the active track to work on my mavic air 2 while on and sitting on the table, all I could get it to do was auto focus. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for the vids! 👍
Great video Carson. I am using your videos to choose the right DJI Drone for myself. I really want course lock. I want to fly free and not worry about orientation. Does the Air 2 have this option. I can’t seem to find an answer to that.
hey great videos! what format do you use, MP4 or the other one lol... having a problem with Premier, seems the quick fix folks say to use of changing the extension doesnt work. .. thanks!
I just record it via the built in iPhone screen recorder app. In post (editing), I overlay a iPhone 11 vector image outline and use that to simulate the look of the phone. Finally, I use a plugin for Final Cut Pro to add in the taps through their pack “mTuber”
Awesome video! Thanks! Are you by any chance able to use any of these track modes so that it follows you closer up and maintains a close distance? It seemed like anytime you started moving the drone will become a bit distant. Thanks!
You are courageous man. I was even scared watching the drone near the power lines 😱. Impressive. And in sport mode near the forest tracking your car which means you don’t have the sensors guards 😨. Courageous man 😂😂 So, it’s seems very nice the air 2. 😄 Take care 😃
Carson Miller 😂😂. Excellent 😂😂. You are definitely a very good pilot 👨✈️. So. Do you think it’s very annoying don’t having the sides and top sensors? Probably the mavic pro 3 will have it... it probably heavier and much expensive. Do you recommend me the air 2 to upgrade from the mini?
Discovered your channel just couple of days ago while looking at Mavic Air 2 videos. You got my subscribtion. Very well done videos, plesant to watch and easy to understand. Keep up with the good work.
Great video! Thanks. One question, when charging ur phone via the controller, does it deplete the controllers battery life? Or is the controller battery sufficient enuf where it doesn’t matter much? Thanks
Nope! That's not necessary. Just maintain a constant downwards pull on the left stick for the drone to initiate a landing when your hand is beneath it.
Great video - thanx for that. one comment I was puzzled about for a while is about phone charging. That option only appears in the menu if you're using an Iphone. Does not have that option when using any of my android phones :-)
Hi Nice Video, do u know if mavic air 2 has tap fly and cinematic mode like mavic air and also if it zooms on tracking mode. thanks heaps for the video again.
I bash high end RC, would the drone stay locked on my RC car? (its about the size of your average bed pillow, so pretty good size). could I pull up to a outdoor bmx jump course, and set the drone to follow my RC. Would it prove possible... or drive me nuts with constantly loosing track?
Great informative video, I love my DJI Magic Air 2 and with your videos I have even more reasons to love it! The Air 2 does a great job at tracking your movements, the Skydio 2 would have managed to find the power line and crash into them somehow, then the company would say there are power lines in your state, we can't warranty it. 🤣
Hi there , I bin having issues setting waypoint on the dji mavric air 2 . I used to have the ruko where I would just press on the map when pulled up where to fly . Now I see the air 2 don't have that . Could you have tutorial on how to setup a waypoiny flight please . Its bin quite the struggle for me to set it up:-( Thank you in advance .
when you are showing the dji footage when you are riding the street (for example 15:23) you see a lot of pixelation on the street. Is that fixable or is it because of lighting?
So do you know what could prevent the drone from going into any of the active track modes? I’ve had mine a few days and it has never worked for me. It just pops up that the feature can’t be used in the current shooting mode. I’ve switched through all the modes to try and use this feature with no luck.

I've been laughing for like 5 minutes about the horse and buggy just trotting on by haha! Amazing.
Lol same
so clear explanations & demos, thank you. liked & subscribed !
Glad to hear that you're getting the combo. I'm curious what your opinion is going to be on the filters.
I agree! Carson is the best and I would love to see a short video on how to best use the ND filters. I just got an Air 2 and frankly have no idea when to use the filters that it came with.

I just got the Mavic air 2, I didn't even know what these modes do until I saw your video. Thanks again, you just got a new subscriber.

Probably the best video of the intelligent flight modes of Mavic Air 2..
Mine arrives next Thursday! I am looking at all tutorials I can before it arrives and I have seen others say that for tracking it had to be in S mode not N mode. I am reading and watching as much as I can before I get my hands on it.

Thank you! You do a great job of showing both what these functions do and how to do them!
I normally get bored after like 2 minutes with these tutorials..you made it interesting and fun to watch, great job!👊🏻
very practical and efficient vid, thanks, helped a lotttt
Great vids on the mavic air 2! I'm just a few flights in and am looking forward to learning more about it and trying these features out! I appreciate all of your efforts and hope your channel continues to grow!
Love your videos and they are very educational since I’m learning about my Mavic Air 2 that I just purchased, keep the videos coming, thanks
Great job dude!!! This really helped me!!! I was having trouble with active track. Thank you.
Thanks for the assistance Carson...we'll be testing it out later today. Best presentations on the Mavic Air 2 by a long chalk mate. HNY 2021
Excellent video. Definitely got a better understanding of the different modes.
The best explanation of all the modes I found, thank you!
Undoubtedly, the best video I have seen on autonomous flight modes of the Mavic Air 2. Thanks Carson!
This just changed the game for me
Man, you are good. Sincerely. This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much for your time and effort, Sir.

Glad this helped you! I have sent the Mavic Air 2 that I used in this video back, but I purchased my own MA2 fly more combo and it’s great!

Thanks for the great video. You are a great instructor ! JDI should send you a check for your nice work.
What kind of lav mic do you use? Love the videos!
Thanks John! I used this one for this video: amzn.to/3uyGHRU
and I’ve recently started using this set: amzn.to/3krhzru
Thanks! Keep up the good work.
Really like your videos, keep up the good work. I am really conceding buying the Mavic Air 2. I have been watching numerous videos and reviews. My question is dose the obstacle avoidance just go up and over an object or will it go around like a pole or tall skinny object.
It will go around an object as well so long as there is enough space

Very helpful. On drone mode I don't see the option to customize the distance. What am I missing?
Just a random question , do you use any anti glare screen protector for your phone screen to allow better view ?
Thank You ! saw 12 videos .. yours, AT Last is t h e best . Tnx !!
Great video Carson; thansk for the content
Nice video, I've used some info in your vid for some of my latest shots. Keep it up :D
Great video Carson. I am using your videos to choose the right DJI Drone for myself. I really want course lock. I want to fly free and not worry about orientation. Does the Air 2 have this option. I can’t seem to find an answer to that.
Hi, make a video where you show how active track works without carrying the remote controller with you.
Such a well made and professionally done video! Thank you so much!
Thank YOU!
hey great videos! what format do you use, MP4 or the other one lol... having a problem with Premier, seems the quick fix folks say to use of changing the extension doesnt work. .. thanks!
Cool stuff, I enjoyed and learned from it. Thanks!
Mahalo Carson. I have a used Mavic Air 2 waiting at the post office , I can't wait to get it in the air . Aloha.
Awesome! I hope you like your Air 2, I’ve been absolutely loving mine!!
What a great clear and defined presentation. You have skills my friend.
Thanks for putting this together Carson, mIght I ask, what are you using to create and record your phone's screen?
I just record it via the built in iPhone screen recorder app. In post (editing), I overlay a iPhone 11 vector image outline and use that to simulate the look of the phone. Finally, I use a plugin for Final Cut Pro to add in the taps through their pack “mTuber”
Awesome video and lots of tips... Thank you for sharing!
Awesome informational video. Clear, Well fillmed, loved it!
Thanks so much!
Awesome video! Thanks! Are you by any chance able to use any of these track modes so that it follows you closer up and maintains a close distance? It seemed like anytime you started moving the drone will become a bit distant. Thanks!
You are courageous man. I was even scared watching the drone near the power lines 😱. Impressive. And in sport mode near the forest tracking your car which means you don’t have the sensors guards 😨. Courageous man 😂😂
So, it’s seems very nice the air 2. 😄
Take care 😃
It was definitely pretty sketch for sure! But I made sure to stay justttt above the power lines and to keep in mind the trees during the driving shot.
Carson Miller 😂😂. Excellent 😂😂. You are definitely a very good pilot 👨✈️.
So. Do you think it’s very annoying don’t having the sides and top sensors?
Probably the mavic pro 3 will have it... it probably heavier and much expensive. Do you recommend me the air 2 to upgrade from the mini?
Discovered your channel just couple of days ago while looking at Mavic Air 2 videos. You got my subscribtion. Very well done videos, plesant to watch and easy to understand. Keep up with the good work.
What is the likelyhood of hitting the tree in this auto modes? Some of them like hilux can only use in the very open field apparantly.
Wow 4k looks good smooth as butter
Yes it does😎
I love the way you present your videos much love from the Philippines. Muah
i love how you explain everything.
😍
Great video! Thanks. One question, when charging ur phone via the controller, does it deplete the controllers battery life? Or is the controller battery sufficient enuf where it doesn’t matter much? Thanks
Really good video! Nice tips!
Congratulations from Brasil 🇧🇷
Awesome video one question do you have to turn off obstacles avoidance drone to be landed on your hand?
Nope! That's not necessary. Just maintain a constant downwards pull on the left stick for the drone to initiate a landing when your hand is beneath it.
I just wish I could live in a place so beautiful!
That’s a nice basketball court.
Great video - thanx for that. one comment I was puzzled about for a while is about phone charging. That option only appears in the menu if you're using an Iphone. Does not have that option when using any of my android phones :-)
Excellent job. Very well done with a lot of useful content, explained clearly.
Really enjoy your videos and feel like I have personal tutor. Thanks!
Carson - have you figured out a way to make the drone track you from the front in Active Track? My MA2 will only follow me .
Great presentation man thank you
Nice detailed presentation! Well done.
When you say get into video mode, how do you get into video mode?
Good job man you covered so many of my questions! Can't wait to get this drone.
Hi Nice Video,
do u know if mavic air 2 has tap fly and cinematic mode like mavic air and also if it zooms on tracking mode.
thanks heaps for the video again.

Hey Carson the quality of these videos are amazing, Please keep up the good work from the UK 🇬🇧
Thorough and very helpful to me
how does the dji created quikshot quality compare to if you had done it manually. can you tweak encoder settings in the dji app?
when using quick shots like Helix does and running into obstacles the drone is capable of avoid them?
great job. love your videos. Great landing at the end too.
Excellent stuff! Great job.
Hi there , I bin having issues setting waypoint on the dji mavric air 2 . I used to have the ruko where I would just press on the map when pulled up where to fly . Now I see the air 2 don't have that . Could you have tutorial on how to setup a waypoiny flight please . Its bin quite the struggle for me to set it up:-(
Thank you in advance .
when you are showing the dji footage when you are riding the street (for example 15:23) you see a lot of pixelation on the street. Is that fixable or is it because of lighting?
Can you set the camera to manual and use Active Track?
Do you have to take test and register for this dji mavic air 2 ?
Is obstical avoidance active doing the poi trace?
So do you know what could prevent the drone from going into any of the active track modes? I’ve had mine a few days and it has never worked for me. It just pops up that the feature can’t be used in the current shooting mode. I’ve switched through all the modes to try and use this feature with no luck.
Good job buddy!
What video editing software you use?
He talks about not having upward warning, and his model didn't have the two upfacing sensors in the nose of the drone.
Can I chose 60p in quick shot?
Thanks
Thanks for the video! Great presentation! I bet the asteroid setting has flat earthers going viral 🤣😂
love u man. u are very helpful
how do you edit number plates so people can't see it did you do it on go pro app or dji app 🤔 I don't no that is useful
Great video
Thanks
Thanks finally know how it works:)
