You mentioned accidentally stopping the blades and falling out of the sky. The CSC (Combination Stick Command) bit me once. I was recording for the motorcycle police, and was just hovering while waiting for the instructor to quit talking. I looked up and noticed they were all getting back on their bikes. This was a little ways away from me, so I really didn't hear my drone, andI forgot I was hovering. Out of habit, pulled the sticks down and out to start the blades and take off. Dropped 20 feet instantly, and fortunately, not on a police officer, lol. Cost me $500 for new camera and legs for my Phantom 3 Pro. My Mavic is being delivered by a brown truck today, so I am glad to see it has the CSC for "Breakdown Only" option. Love the vids Ed, thanks!
You are the first person who has that advance settings in gimbal... i don't have the smooth gimbal... I have the same like you and your configuration and the video helps me a lot. Thanx man!
I just discovered your channel last week and have been combing through your videos diligently in preparation for my arrival of my very own hormonal teenager:) I love your content and the sarcastic humor you include in your videos. I'm certain these tips will enable me to hit the ground running when my Mavic Pro arrives. Sorry I didn't purchase through your links, but now that I know a little about how you-tubers make money and how consumers can support your channel, I will definitely be conscious of that the next time I make a purchase:) Good up the good work!!
Thanks for talking about the "Always/Breakdown" part. I don't think I've heard anyone else mention it. Seems like it should be number one on any of the beginner tutorials for the Mavic, or any drone that has that option. You're probably right, many people have probably lost their drones because of this. Also, love your videos. They are the most informative, and you are by far the easiest to learn from. My Mavic should be here within the week, and watching your videos makes me feel like I'm already flying it. I've only had a few minutes on a friends Mavic, but I've got a couple hours on a Phantom 4 at work. I've never had the time to adjust ANY settings, or figure out any Intelligent Flight Modes, but thanks to your channel I think it'll be a walk in the park now!
Hunter F I tried,those,settings and my mavric still turns to,fast in the,air,how do you make your mavric turn,slow in the,air I have tried every setting the exp sentivety and still turns to fast in the air i already made my gimble go up down slowly but I can't get my drone to turn slow in the air
Best video I have watch so far. I just flew my mavic for the first time yesterday and everything was just too fast and not a smooth look that i was looking for
I applaud the work you are doing, Ed! I have been watching most all of your videos and am especially glad that you have posted many of them about the Mavic Pro. I have already made about 6 flights and did see that it was a little abrupt on braking, etc. I went ahead and did the changes that you recommended and will test them out next time I go fly. Not only am I a licensed fixed wing commercial pilot and flight instructor, but found that the quadcopter is almost as much fun. I am really into photography and the Mavic is the perfect match for my dual hobbies!
I ordered the Mavic Pro on Amazon on Jan 3rd. Twice they gave me a delivery date between Feb 3 - Feb 23. They have retracted the delivery dates twice and now shows March 20th as the release date. DJI store now says they ship in a week. Buy from Ed and subscribe. He takes great videos and explains things well. Sorry Ed, I bought mine through the DJI store last week before your link.
Ed Ricker Vlogs - Ed, It should ship from DJI this week since I ordered it from them online last week. I am going to cancel the Amazon order. Thanks for posting your videos. I can tell you have experience in photography and your videos show that. I watched your unboxing. Mine is also a gift to myself. My wife hates it when she finds a gift from Santa to under the tree for me. Last year it was a Gibson Les Paul Custom Silverburst. Santa has a good taste in guitars too. Thanks for sharing your videos and making them entertaining as well as informative. I'll keep recommending them and give you a thumbs up.
Ed...enjoyed your video! Well thought out and executed...Have you come up with a printable checklist on where you think the settings should be for newbie's like me?
Thank you. I wanted to make adjustments to my settings and you made it very easy to do so. I will test these out today. I now have the knowledge to make adjustments depending on the setting and goals of my projects in the future. Thanks again!
Your videos are the best Ed, the breakdown and humor are just awesome! I need help with choosing softwares I can use to edit my videos. Would you please help with some info on this? Thanks.
What can I say Ed Enjoy your presentations and you explain things in a good way Have chosen to stay with you after I've been around TH-cam and there's a world different from what's right and wrong, but believe in you :-)
Nice video Ed, I'm shortly to get airborne with the Mavic and would like some info on settings for the total beginner! I don't want it to be too sensitive, please could you tell me from maybe 1 to 10 on setting up! In an idiots guide to flying the Mavic, I have flown years ago fixed wing model aircraft with a few accidents along the way, But I feel this would be easier than that but with a great deal more adjustments before first flight! Kind regards Dave in Suffolk, UK
Enjoyed your vIdeo, learned a lot. I’ve noticed that certain settings on your remote differ from mine. For instance on the “urgent stop mode” that the rectangular box on your remote says “breakdown “ while mine says “for use in emergencies only” and when you click on the box you can also choose “CSC maneuver .” What is CSC maneuver? There are other areas on your remote that you can make changes to that influence the movement of the drone that don’t exist on mine. By the way I am talking about mavic Pro platinum remote and drone. Thanks .
Ed, since this video, DJI has added Cinematic Mode Gain and Yaw Sensitivity in Cinematic Mode options within Advanced Settings. What are these and what do you have them set to on your Mavic? Thanks for all your great vids. Your channel is an amazing resource.
Thanks Ed. I like the way the videos look. Is there a next opportunity where you can share how you created this look? I have often similar light conditions, but not able to get the nice look you have achieved.
Actually I shot these clips before the filters arrived! It was just a reeeally amazing day after some snowfall with the streaming through the ice on the trees. I used the Beach color scheme (it's changed names now to something else in the Go app). I hope to make a video about video color schemes in the near future, subscribe and stay tuned!
Hey Ed :) thanks for this, always great videos. Didn’t know exactly what setting the attitude value did, this is gonna help getting better shots! Btw I just bought the mavic air and I don’t know if the same gimbal setting numbers equals the same result as you show here. What do you think?
Hey Ed great videos just took my Mavic Pro out today for its first flight I say it takes some getting used to not watching the drone fly but looking thru the camera. Question for ya, If I set my TX up using my Iphone and change the expo, Gimble settings, ect and then later decide to use my Ipad to fly with, will I have to put the settings in my Ipad, or will they automatically be set? Thanks Alan
Yes it happened to me. I got caught in some wires with my mavic 2 pro and I did the big mistake of freaking and both sticks down. I did not mean to do that at all.... It just happened. Had I not I'd not destroyed it. Glad to know I can turn this off. Thanks
Has the menu changed since this came out? I followed these instructions a year ago and it helped tremendously. But after having my MPP replaced with another one, the menu doesn't exactly match what is seen in the video now. ??
Ed, I am in Australia I am really enjoying your show. Thank you very much. I have set up my Mavic pro based on your instruction. It is pretty good ,just one issue I have, if you get a moment could you please reply to my message. The problem is, when I take picture pressed the button on the controller the screen goes black, I have to restart my phone pretty much to start from the beginning. I don't know what is the problem or what I'm doing wrong or perhaps what setup I have to change to make it work. My final question is can you get a goggle for FPV goggle for Mavic pro. If you do have one for sale in your business. I am more than happy to look into it to purchase one, just let me know.

@@DonaldLL825 No worries at all. Here to help mate! Hope you are doing well at this time 😊
thanks brotha
David this setting best for cinematic footage recording ?
@@imiey_ridzuan definitely. I shoot these settings
18 months later and your advice is still pertinent. Thanks. I just got mine last month.
Thank you for presenting in a concise and normal way and not like some of the lunatics that are far too frequent on you tube instructional videos.
You mentioned accidentally stopping the blades and falling out of the sky. The CSC (Combination Stick Command) bit me once. I was recording for the motorcycle police, and was just hovering while waiting for the instructor to quit talking. I looked up and noticed they were all getting back on their bikes.

Love the vids Ed, thanks!
Wow, I leaned more in this 6 minute edit than I have scrupulously reading and experimenting for over a month, now. You're, killin' it!
You are the first person who has that advance settings in gimbal... i don't have the smooth gimbal... I have the same like you and your configuration and the video helps me a lot. Thanx man!
My Mavic now responding much better. I can only thank you for the hours of counseling you've saved.

Good job, you not only explain why but actually explain what is taking place.
Thanks!
Best video I have watch so far. I just flew my mavic for the first time yesterday and everything was just too fast and not a smooth look that i was looking for
Thanks! Glad to help
Your videos have been very informative and helpful in setting up my new bird. Thanks
Nice intro... Currently researching helpful hints before taking flight. I very much contacted to your presentation, well done!

First video I've seen talking about the urgent stop mode and some great tips for smooth flying. Thanks.
Excellent!! Loaded with information. I will be watching this video several times to make sure I get all the tips you provide. Thanks!
you explain it in an easy way every user can understand, very good especially for me as a beginner :) thank you
A lot of great information especially the gimbal buffer. I had no idea, very helpful.
Coolest video tutorial yet I think that is best I have seen for tutorials to date.all best.

Hey Ken, thanks for watching!
So your order says March 20??? That's a hell of a wait! Hope it updates again for a sooner date. Good luck!

Thanks for the tips it is exactly what I needed.
Many thanks for the tips mate!! Heading out now to launch my bird.
Well explained, concise and clear!
Hi Troy McClure, would love to see some purely cinematic videos from you. The shots you showed in this video were really impressive.
Haha, thanks for watching! I hope to make some videos like that very soon. Subscribe and stay tuned!
This was very helpful, thanks for making this vid 👍
Thank you for the video. Really nice contribution for the community of the droners :) ;)
Ill give you a comment!
... That was an amazing video. Informative. Epic winter forest shots.
Thanks Ed.
I like the way the videos look. Is there a next opportunity where you can share how you created this look? I have often similar light conditions, but not able to get the nice look you have achieved.
ah, i just watched your post on the filters, likely that is an element used to get the look.
Actually I shot these clips before the filters arrived! It was just a reeeally amazing day after some snowfall with the streaming through the ice on the trees. I used the Beach color scheme (it's changed names now to something else in the Go app).
I hope to make a video about video color schemes in the near future, subscribe and stay tuned!
I found this a really helpful video thankyou
Thanks so much for these tips Ed. You rock!
Very detailed explanation. New sub. Thank you for the tips! Love the intro as wel lol
Informative ... good for a safety tip especially 2 sticks put together setting!
Thanks! Definitely!
Hey buddy great video. I am new to mavic world. Do you know what mode do I choose to fly backwards with camera facing me?
Great video! Very helpful!
Love the intro!
Keep up the great work Ed.
Thank you for the video, very helpful!
Best intro I have ever seen! I was laughing so hard when your face changed while flying. Keep making more drone videos. They are great!
Hey Ed :) thanks for this, always great videos. Didn’t know exactly what setting the attitude value did, this is gonna help getting better shots!
Btw I just bought the mavic air and I don’t know if the same gimbal setting numbers equals the same result as you show here. What do you think?
Thank u for the nice video. I have a question - what program / plug-in did u use for color correction of your fly videos? Thanks
Superb instruction. Thx a lot !
Great tutorial it's very helpful!

Thanks a lot again!!! Very help full video
Keep up the good work Ed!
Thanks for watching!
Very good video Ed!
Hi Edd any chance of doing an updated version of this ? with updates to the app its changed a little
Superb that, thanks from the UK :)
Good clear explanation
Hey Ed great videos just took my Mavic Pro out today for its first flight I say it takes some getting used to not watching the drone fly but looking thru the camera. Question for ya, If I set my TX up using my Iphone and change the expo, Gimble settings, ect and then later decide to use my Ipad to fly with, will I have to put the settings in my Ipad, or will they automatically be set?

Thanks for sharing
Has the menu changed since this came out? I followed these instructions a year ago and it helped tremendously. But after having my MPP replaced with another one, the menu doesn't exactly match what is seen in the video now.

Ed, I am in Australia I am really enjoying your show. Thank you very much. I have set up my Mavic pro based on your instruction. It is pretty good ,just one issue I have, if you get a moment could you please reply to my message.
