    Great tutorial. I’ve had my Mavic Pro for almost a year and never knew what everything on the controller was for. Heck I didn’t realize that it even had a zoom.

    New to having a Mavic Pro and so a bit daunted by the controller screen, my last drone the Mavic Air didn't have that. So I was really nervous about being overwhelmed by all the information, but you explained it really well and have really put my mind at ease. Thank you for making this video, it's helped me so much

    How does the Return Home button work as in where is Home? If you were moving and when you press home does it come to the controller or does it go back to where it started?
    I'm asking this in terms of using it's follow feature and having it follow me on my motorcycle.

  • @colin_rootz
    @colin_rootz 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nice tutorial! My question is: Are you able to access and modify controller settings without having the drone powered on? For instance, to modify stick sensitivity and wheel sensitivity (among other advanced settings), which you don't want to do while your drone is hovering or waiting and draining its battery, can you enter controller settings and do so, and how do you do that? Thanks!

    If you use the USB port on the bottom, YOU MUST remove the cable from the side of the controller or it will NOT work.

    • @leegenix
      @leegenix 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I agree. It does not work. When I got mine last October 2017, I had some problems with connecting. There were those annoying updates which made things more confusing. It eventually worked with my Android device using the side of the RC unit. It refuses to connect on the Bottom using my Samsung Tab A (android). It did a few times then quit. Finally, I bought an Ipad Mini 4 with 128 gigs and it worked perfectly the first time. The Mavic Pro does not like Android devices.

    • @jayrobertsager2478
      @jayrobertsager2478 6 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      leegenix love the iPad mini4. And I was lost for almost an hour before I learned that we have to UNPLUG the side micro USB before the bottom one will work. I had it plugged in but hanging off the side out of the way but the controller knows when both are plugged in and it disables both. Weird. The iPad mini sits inside the grips perfectly with awesome balance, no need for an aftermarket clamp.

    • @samnella9
      @samnella9 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I use my apple mini 2. It's kind of obvious that DJI favors the apple products when it says so on its box.

    • @terryandteresa
      @terryandteresa 6 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      I use a battery bank while flying thru the side port. You just have to plug the side port in last after the go4 app is already connected to your bird.

    Hi Carson ! Great video. I'm contemplating getting a drone this summer, rumours are a new Mavic is coming, so I'm going to wait until June to see. Great video. I had NO clue how everything worked before your video so thank you. P.S. How is the charging done on the controller itself ? is it USB charged ? anyway, thanks ! - Mark over at the BakeLikeAPro channel.

    • @carsonmtech
      @carsonmtech  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hey Mark! Thank you! Thats a good choice on waiting because the Mavic Pro 2 could be pretty awesome :). As for plugging in and charging the controller itself, yep, it’s charged through micro USB and it’s charged by plugging in a micro USB charging cable into the micro USB port on the left side of the controller (where the phone connection cable is). Hope this helps!

    Would have been cool for you to go through the emergency controller stick movements. Any idea on the mavic 2 why the rc signal strength is sometimes weaker than video and drops randomly (not a lot). It will drop momentarily for a quick second then come back every other flight

  • @YellowRoseDrones
    @YellowRoseDrones 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    @johnkean5848 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I bought a DJI Mavic Pro Platinum (£1200 around $1500) last year as a treat for some friends in Cyprus and 6 weeks after Waiting for it to be delivered all the hassle of getting it through customs after sending it to North Cyprus (who take longer to deal with things) etc etc. So the guys waited weeks nearly 2 months for their drone. The day it arrived l was here in Cyprus. We all went to the beach and we were all very excited filming with it. We were on the deck sunbathing. When the drone returned to us it just flipped and landed in the sea for no apparent reason! We got it out after about 2 seconds, dried it in rice, but it didn't work! When I phoned DJI long distance, they said they would repair it free for us so I was relieved. I spent more money about €50, sending it back (which meant travelling through the border, again thru customs, to the South of the Island, I don't drive so taxi costs. Thus was to use a Post Office with tracking so l could track the Mavic Pro.)
    Then strangely DJI wouldn't confirm that they received it 4 weeks later (even though tracking showed it arrived) until I could find all my receipts and evidence my end which I had temporarily lost. This took another week and a half, with more long distance phone calls, to different people in their office as no record was kept of my long distance phone calls. I've lost count of the many calls l made. It was a total nightmare. Finally, they decided they were not going to fix it free after all and gave no real reason for this change of heart. They then quoted €890 to repair it which seems steep when you consider they replace a chip or something minor - l could probably do it myself if you could buy electronics gear here (North Cyprus) which you cannot! I just asked them to return it. I cannot explain why they didn't wish to help - I wasn't angry with them on the phone I was polite all the way - so I am at a loss about this. In commercials and TH-cam you see the machine flying over water there is no warning that it is NOT even semi-waterproof or splashproof. I explained to Amazon where I bought it who decided they would sort it for me saying if they couldn't get redress from DJI they would pay me. I said l was happy to have half the costs and expenses. I waited and waited for my refund to no avail. Out of the blue, Amazon too decided they weren't going to pay me anything not even a postage stamp! So I am £1500 plus down and all my time and effort (and expenses) and nothing to show for it. Not to mention all the time and trouble travelling to South Cyprus to send it back via tracked mail long distance phone calls etc etc. The worst was watching my two young friends ' unhappy faces. The real reason for this plea is I wanted to asked anyone PLEASE - what do I do with all the batteries and stuff? Can I use them on a different drone (not DJI as I am still sore!) There has to be a clone out there where I can use the batteries, surely China has copied it (improved it!) it just seems so much waste. I thought the 21st C was a sustainable one, it seems not as far as DJI are concerned!!!
