DJI Mavic 2 Pro Review

Gear - linktr.ee/kraig

[@chrisbrockhurst]

This is how you do a drone review, without actually doing a drone review.

[@smalltownsavouries]

"Little does Kraig know is that he will sell the drone in two months time."
-Narration by James Earl Jones

[@smalltownsavouries]

Well, like, I’m not gonna not buy it.

[@davidkvincent]

thanks for flying your drone machine at my wedding.

[@carrie7036]

that was the best god damn plug i've ever seen

[@phanuels7045]

Why your music are always so relaxing, so cinematic, plus your narrations, its just so great!

[@larbueno]

Really gorgeous footage and a very relaxed pace. You have created one of the finest M2P videos, period!

[@michaeldbliss]

this was so good, the vibe in your videos is just something else, hard to explain, but so so nice

[@OfTwoLands]

Really nicely done, love the pace. Received our Mavic 2 Pro a few days ago, very impressed so far :)

[@eirikskarstein9964]

Love your style Kraig, keep it up! So inspiring.

[@nomad-media]

Oh no! The dreaded double punch. We've all been there! For hyperlapse mode, set it to capture RAW photos (those will be 4K) and then you can stabilize in post. MUCH better results.

[@nomad-media]

Awesome! Love your work btw. Looking forward to seeing more M2P footage!

[@magdielb]

I’ve never wanted a drone. But I love this video. Makes me rethink my first sentence.

[@lukaskuth7195]

Hey Kraig, you're not being entirely fair to the hyperlapse mode. Yes it saves a movie file on the SD card which is in HD but also, you get to save the RAW DNG files and those are way better even than 4K! you just gotta turn this option on. This allows you to edit each frame in lightroom!

[@MortenSvane1]

Yes, and this is far far superior in every way to the crappy file the app exports. I didn't realise this until I compared the two. I shot a hyperlapse of a sunset and it looked like garbage in the app, to overexposed and the colours were off. When I got the raw files into lightroom, adjusted a but, exported a jpg's and then imported it into premiere and colorgraded it, it was a world of difference and looked really good. It the process isn't really that bad, timewise.

[@epvideos6476]

Hey Kraig! Thanks for the video. To answer your question about why the Mavic Pro 2 vs Air has better video connection is because the mavic Air works on Wifi connect and the Mavic 2 Pro uses Ocusync. Ocusync is a far superior transmission system! Wifi connection can get spoiled by almost everything around you. thanks again for the video!

[@LupusTheGamer]

- I don't have a drone
- I am not a filmmaker
- I don't even take a lot of pictures with my phone
- I am not a TH-camr
- I don't plan on becoming one or buying a drone in the distant future
AND I LOVED THIS VIDEO
WHY?

[@MsAris25]

couses you will be a future videographer!! welcome to the family!!

[@VitorMadeira]

The music was really special. ;)

[@Sam_Taylor_Cooper]

because we are all human, and loving beautiful things

[@LupusTheGamer]

@@MsAris25 Who knows? Maybe someone will get me a camera, or my parents will buy me a drone, or maybe ill invest in a camera with my first paycheck. Thanks for the warm welcome ! :)

[@vracan]

or drone pilot

[@LexElls]

Look at all those helpful drone classes on skillshare!

[@friederikemlr8583]

Don’t even know that much or even care about drones but just watching your videos is such a nice way to relax! the footage was, as always, super pretty!

[@shaneth138]

Best Mavic 2 pro footage on youtube easy.

[@mstuartkendall]

Great video that truly displays what I feel about the footage that I capture from my M2P. I have the older Mavice pro as well and the difference is quite noticable in image quality alone. I don't get the dark and nearly unuseable footage with the M2P like I did with original mavic. I just fly it and capture and usually the shots turn out quite well.

[@agrayasa1008]

love this great in real life drone review. you've not just explain the tools but also the user behaviour. that's what we need --- we see it on online, we use it in real life. thank's.....

[@ponderinghiker]

Stumbled upon your video today and very much enjoyed it. Thank you for the “review” of the new Mavic.... well done....

[@alexjohnson2031]

This is an amazing video man! Super well done.

[@tryanize]

Wow... I must say this is one of the best "review" of M2P I have seen. Makes me wanna sell my MA to buy the M2P!

[@feliciafullwood]

Yesss! Been waiting for this. Just got mine and I couldn't be more excited

[@BuddBieber]

A great video! Nice review that wasn't a review. I've been flying my Mavic Pro for about 2 years now, but will be ordering the Mavic 2 Pro hopefully next week.

[@KAZUNARl]

great video man 👍
thanks for sharing the beautiful pictures of landscapes, your experience and advice

[@JNVideoPhotoproduction]

Thumbs up! Nice video, thanks for sharing your thoughts and great skills not only with the drone but with video edition as always.

[@kenor7880]

That vertical vertigo was awesome! 👍🏻

[@HazyHope]

Holy moly 1:53 I didn't expect that, Inception vibes for sure

[@dep1001]

Awesome vid, Kraig! I'm also very happy with my Mavic 2 Pro. Great drone, and it's only going to get better with future firmware updates.

[@mon17razor72]

Thanks for this review! I just got my Mavic 2 Pro after I saw this video!👍

[@ryansheffer9217]

This video is great. Chill music is a nice change of pace from the usual dance music on camera videos.

[@TheQuadView1]

Great video Kraig!
I can definitely relate on starting recording when you thinking you're stopping and vice versus. So frustrating.
For the 107, if you study Tony Northrup's study guide. You'll be good. I passed first time with only studying his guide.

[@Duranafy]

Amazing work! Pleasure meeting you on the trail.

[@ukservin]

OMG that donie soot where you are on the ground and zoom out between the trees is amazing

[@ToddLarsen]

Great video footage!
The colors and textures are so amazing and awesome!
Best of luck with the Part 107.
I'm going for my part 107 also.
I hope More and more enthusiests practice common sense while operating there U.A.S. going forward.

[@XampleEditing]

Kraig I’m here to tell you I bought the sandisk SSD and it is WAY smaller than I anticipated. But I love it. Got it for almost 50% off on cyber Monday to complete my storage workflow. Thanks

[@datfilmco.3819]

Yep, definitely on my kit list for the future!

[@curtis.strange]

Isn't all the city footage illegal? Typically it's forbidden to fly over populated areas

[@jyun3102]

was gonna say the same thing! he said snucked up, so he is committing a crime i guess

[@jessicap2924]

Also its illegal to fly on mount hood. Unless he is some how getting a permit and I know you can in some places and it's hard to get, I would like it if he made a video about how he goes about it. So far I think he is just taking a chance and has not been caught yet. I know for a fact that in national parks if you get caught they can confiscate your drone and won't get it back.

[@RM-ud9tf]

Fantastic video ! What program are you editing with? And do you use ND filters?

[@valramos2003]

I don't know why but your voice over works very well with the drone shots.

[@BrianBakerCA]

Loved this video. Great stuff man! How many weddings did you shoot this year?

[@Daddyof13]

Can’t wait to get my Mavic2 Pro.... Brilliant Video...😉😎

[@SeaStoneStu]

Great review just bought a used Mavic Pro 2 from where else but Colorado Springs! Need to get more fluid with my shots and better at planing out the flights. Also, really looking forward to trying out the hyperlapse features and found an option to export the raw images so you can create 4K Hyperlapse if with a few extra steps.

[@AlexAbsolute]

It looks like a beast, I’m not going to upgrade yet as I’ve other things to sort first.
Great video man, some awesome footage even if it is cropped in

[@henrico10]

dude come so far! KILLING IT!

[@Jones_Media]

Your drone footage is always epic ( even the spark lol ) !! I can never get mine to look as crisp as yours 😩

[@ice_ryda]

FYI u're not stupid. I believe u once said it was ok to make mistakes. Great video Kraig

[@slocated]

Im okay with that 13 minute lead up

[@tna2me197]

Kraig, thanks for sharing your mistakes as well as your successes. I thought I was the only one who ever made the mistake of recording when I thought it was off. Has anyone made a gradient filter for the 2 yet? Might have worked for those late afternoon shots of the wedding location. ?
I have my 107. I had an easy route though. I was already a flight instructor and have been a professional pilot for years. So the regulation part of it was easy to grasp. You’ll do just fine.
Inspiring stuff Kraig. Thank you

[@ejpmusicandvideo]

Great video man! Beautiful crispy footage.

[@brewerjason]

I use the Tripod flight mode while taking timelapses with my Mavic Pro (first gen). Slower steady movement. Makes for a solid hyperlapse.

[@radeaver]

@brewerjason would you mind elaborating a little more on this. Like are you just continually holding on one of the sticks to keep the drone moving during recording? Or can you also utilize one of the intelligent flight modes while in tripod mode? Thanks!

[@brewerjason]

@@radeaver Sure! In Tripod mode you'll be locked on a vertical axis. But you are able to veryyyy gradually move the chopper forward or backward. So enable Tripod Mode. Then start recording your Timelapse. Then stay on the stick in the direction you want. Old school stabilized hyperlapse.

[@princeproductions970]

Hey nice video of all the different areas. FYI the only time all of the sensors are on are in a couple of modes, tripod and beginner I believe. I knew about the cropping issue and forgot when I help my son video a project grrrr. I wish I knew you were in the Springs area we could have flown together maybe another time. Keep up the good work.

[@Mulholland1972]

I enjoy watching your videos Kraig especially the drone footage

[@emsluckylove18]

Such an amazing video! The drone shots look stunning!!

[@silasgotsch4458]

9:34 In my production company we call that "negative filming". Happens all the time...

[@rickwelin9773]

NEGATIVE FILMING! Love it :)

[@NeemorsWorld]

Awesome video. I love the long term use/reminiscent style reviews.

[@Ollinho12]

Really class video fella. Enjoyed hearing your insight

[@techable7524]

11:34 - love that! Oh and the rest was SUPERB! Makes me want to go and buy a drone and watch the sunsets each day. Love your videos, your style and your humour :-) I tip my hat to you, sir!

[@grow4fun654]

wow the footage is dope

[@RonyQuinones]

Good job! This video is so helpful. Thank you Kraig Adams.

[@mohamedalsawaialsawai9883]

Mavic 2 pro is not just drone ....more than worth to buy this drone

[@websilone]

Hi Kraig,
I was thinking about asking you if it was legal to fly drones over all these cities, especially NYC, but seeing you talking about these 107 test, I assume it's not...
So in general, how do you deal with local regulations about flying drones ? Do you just go and fly the drone and see what happens if you get caught ? or perhaps you just don't mind ?
I don't live in the US so I don't know much about the US laws but here, in France, it's very restrictive... so basically, if you are not lost in the middle of nowhere you can not fly the drone...

[@wildcall32]

Boris Louboff Very restrictive here in the U.K. too. We had a couple of incidents recently with numpties flying drones over Edinburgh recently (without CAA permission). The police are pretty hot on chasing this nowadays and he was prosecuted. www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-edinburgh-east-fife-44739279

[@DaveBowman]

Pretty much the majority of what's in this video doesn't look legal to me. I guess Kraig knows what the risks are though... if he gets caught or if his drone comes down and injures someone

[@joeserio5739]

Great video Kraig!

[@Misshermionefan]

All of these shots are incredibly stunning! I just took my 107 and while it's hard, if you study a lot you should be fine. I would pay attention a lot to the chart/chart supplement example problems because for my test they had a lot of those. But my instructor said every test is different so who knows. Also, another reason to study a lot before taking it is that it costs 150$ to take it, even if you fail. But I'm sure you won't lmao
side note: you just inspired me to want to take a road trip around the country once i graduate and get a lot of great drone footage!!

[@LowkoTV]

Beautiful video! Thanks for sharing.

[@TheTheultimateboy]

All of your videos have amazing background music, kudos to you!
Keep making amazing videos :)
Greetings from Bangladesh :D

[@CinematographyDatabase]

ASMR drone review vibez 🎤 also holler Rochester

[@javibecerra3852]

Great Video
Congratulations from Spain!

[@ClaytonChavez]

"Pretty sure the drone pissed off some seagulls." LMAO!

[@jpivko]

Default color is looking beautiful.

[@josemreyes]

A relaxing review

[@mohamedalsawaialsawai9883]

I really liked this video very interesting
And really enjoyed watching and listening to this piano plays..thank you pal

[@WaltWeaver]

Somehow your mavic pro footage looks so much better than mine.

[@npmeilleur]

Isn't the wider mode not 10-bit though? I thought to get the 10-bit video files you had to do the crop mode.

[@wildcall32]

Don’t know about the US, but I’m amazed you managed to get permission to fly over Stockholm. If you did it for Volvo, presume you had to get a Swedish commercial licence, and also separate air traffic clearance to fly over a congested area, that must’ve been a lot of hassle!

[@bennydarko]

8:03 What a shot!

[@northernperspectives]

Damn you’re a such a good storyteller, you make it look so natural and easy. While I know its not always a walk in the park. Cudos Kraig!

[@1known2]

Lovely edits.

[@neillroberts4019]

Great Review Kraig. Buying another drone is definitely on the cards right now. Thanks for making the choice that much easier.

[@TylerGreenR]

I audibly set "wow" to myself while sitting alone in my office at the first wide angle shot of the New York skyline.

[@MRInuzaki]

OMG all those shots look amazing

[@dilfill]

Your footage looks dope and I liked the video!

[@EagleTastic]

Good Work Kraig! Looking forward to your "proper review" of the Mavic 2

[@tomascunzolo]

Amazing video, explanations are very good too! Congrats!

[@amirrachadi5902]

Thank you for this great video!

[@ZacharyDoehler]

Amazing video and review man!

[@itsdawnkim]

Love the drone shots *drool*
How have you gotten around all the drone laws thus far??? (In different countries too now I suppose)

[@NatesFilmTutorials]

Loved the music and stunning visuals!

[@pushREC]

hahaha that pressing record when you were recording is so damn relatable :`D
I just got the mavic platinum pro at the beginning of the year and wish I got the new mavic 2 pro :L
Don't you get real attacks from birds? When I was in spain I could swear those damn seagulls were trying to kill my drone...
Anyways... great video Kraig and stunning drone shots as usual!

[@maf3695]

@9:13Auto white balance turned your image to 18% grey

[@mantaspetrauskas2201]

Nice video especially shots in NewYork I wish I could have DJI mavic 2 pro I could explore more, take photos from above.

[@bestfriendmedia8888]

I always love watching your videos

[@charlietighe]

I know the feels. Had a once in a lifetime photo shoot opportunity only to discover I was in crop mode on my a7 the whole day. The photos are fine, but they could have been better!

[@drgjengdahl2709]

I was looking at your channel for a new video, and it's only been 2weeks since this video was released. feels like last year!

[@jonnham]

A zoom lens is not a gimmick.

[@TracyDavis904]

HILARIOUS that you’ve been flying and doing all those weddings for years without your Part 107! Ha. I’m about to get mine as well. I’m using the Tony and Chelsea Northrup video to study. Makes it less intimidating!

[@Ultrarmx]

Matt Johnson has a video on getting drone license.

[@Sam_Taylor_Cooper]

the most beautiful shot i ever seen on a DJI. nice reviw! and remember, drone footage will not be that good if u live in a boring city.

[@erick22max]

Dude we miss you on wedding film school!
