You really gotta learn calibrating the compass
I watch a lot of Mavic videos and I will say you are obviously a novice with the mavic. Sorry to say video was not entirely correct and calibration before the first flight is very important it was annoying to this guy because he didn't know any better.
Correct as well as the IMU calibration
i mean your right but he isnt claiming to be more than a novice.
@@mcdonaldswifi2427 he said “again, my frustrations with DJI”. That implies he has prior experience. He should know a compass calibration on a new drone isn’t really unusual.
Apparently you cant make this dude happy, if he's going to complain about all the accessories it come with for $1500 at Amazon, he should have bought just the plane drone.
Exactly. What a douche.
The landing pad total garbage? your motor's will be total garbage after you load them up with sand & dirt, good thinking.
Seth Adam hahaha
That's exactly what I was thinking when I heard that, you don't want dirt/dust on that gimbal.
you calibrated the compass incorrectly
That was a calibration? lol,these are car guys so..
The landing pad is a lot more useful than you think. If you take off from a dirty area, it’ll help avoid damage from debris
Watch Hobbyist and dust will not go into the vents of drone
Pretty sure the contrasting color also helps landing.
haha pussy
@@fox0013 EXACTLY!! The blades will prevent that just like when helicopters land on grass/dirt.. Not a problem its for pussies
@@ryandoe11 You clearly can't interpret context at all. He was agreeing with the OP about the landing pad helping against dust problems. Tell me, would you like to launch your drone in a sandy area which can let dust inside the drone's component or spend TEN DOLLARS on a landing pad that literally doesn't even take a lot of space/or time to open and fly your drone without making such a mess. Literally not that hard to understand.
Compass calibration is standard for all drones though as well as updates, that means the company is constantly updating and upgrading it's features. Not a bad thing at all.
To use that drone to shoot video for your channel since it is revenue generatiing, you need to have an FAA UAS Operators license. The FAA will fine you a considerable amount if you do not have Part 107 certification and are abiding by the required regulations.
This guy literally has no clue what he is taking about when it comes to drones
That compass calibration wasn’t because of an error. It may ask for you to do this when you change locations or if you are around interference.
Plus he can change gimbal smoothness in settings.
I stopped watching when he tried to calibrate the compass.
@@JonasGrumby The possible reason for compass error is he is standing right next to a huge piece of metal, HIS TRUCK. Also you need to recalibrate the compass when you go to a new location. Worse yet, he was doing the calibration all wrong, LOL.
Owen, where can we see your video? LOL. I thought he did a great job.
A landing pad is a must, especially if you are taking off and landing in dirt/sand! Your quadcopter will last longer if you use it! Also, calibrating your compass the first time is not unusual. The drone was manufactured in China, so you should perform a calibration everytime you fly in a new area.
This guy in video has no clue
I launch and land from hand when no flat landing surface. No need for the pad.
i never used landing pads myself and i been shooting with drones for years. if i feel the terrain is not going to work out for take off like too dusty i hand launch it or launch it from another location.
as for compass calibration, please dont recalibrate every single time or even the first time you get it unless there is an error indicating compass needs it. even if compass begging for it in app, best to move the drone to another location and reboot first to see if that clears the error, more times than not it is just something nearby upsetting the compass. i personally only recalibrated my compass one time on my mavic pro and it has flown over 1300 miles and 67 hours of flight time and traveled to 4 countries. my mavic air on he other hand that thing was constantly begging for compass calibrations every few days.. my inspire 1 i used to own i calibrated a handful of times, mostly back in the day when the app was buggy and triggering false errors because failing to understand real issues. and my spark i used to own (rip sparky) asked for it one day then crashed into a tree 200 feet up and fell to its death (i think was unrelated to compass though) but sparky was asking wonky that day with lot of errors i never saw before.
John Wilmington what if you only have one hand bud
@@Honeypot-x9s, Either way, a landing pad is useful nonetheless. Not many are comfortable with hand catching/launching although I sometimes do hand launch/catch when I'm in a dirty area and don't have a landing pad.
Fun fact many are not aware of. DJI owns Hasselblad now so they can call any camera a Hasselblad.
Haha knew there was a caveat
Who's this guy? He doesn't have any real world knowledge of drones, he's just reading the specs. Does he even have a part 107 license to fly for business? There's a reason for a compass calibration, the drone came from China out of the box; Would you rather have a fly away? Landing pads are a safety option/tool for return to home and protecting your investment. In my humble opinion, they had a year to review so many other peoples (TH-cam professionals)video about mavic 2 and come up with something to raise the bar. Reading more specs, specs, specs. There's always a pre-fly check if you're not rushing to do your job.
Does anybody else think he looks like the guy from Ratatouille
The rat is inside his hat and it’s the one doing all the controlling....
Range extender does work I've used on 2 different dji drones. Landing pad is handy outdoors on dirt, fine gravel, dusty stuff, and wet. The updates drive me crazy.
I think you’re doing the calibration all wrong! 🤦🏻♂️
Cringe. Get a landing pad or take off/land by hand. The cooling fan will suck dust inside and right onto the board.
@Wayne Ross if you like scratching up your car..
Janet Airlines, remember from the beginning when he said all the accessories that came
with the bundle we’re mostly garbage? Landing pad was in that bundle 🤦🏻♂️
@Slim Shady Not advisable at all. DJI evens says to calibrate and keep your drone a good amount of distance away from big metal objects. Using a car as a "landing zone" is risky and unnecessary. Landing pads are cheap so I'd go with that and open in less than a second to use.
I think you should learn a little bit more about what you are discussing before you comment on things like You're gimbal pitch up and down you know you can adjust that in the settings
The antanna reflectors actually work
Hey dude, great video, very informative and well explained.
The landing pad is one of the most useful things, if you ever take your drone hiking and you can't find area to take off, it allows u to take off anywhere without hitting your props on the ground.
I pooped a little when it flew through the power lines!
This sort of behaviour is what gives drone operators a bad name.
That was just good luck.
Hahahaha!!!
Your videos are absolutely gorgeous. Congratulations. I'm following you. Thanks for the useful information.
Those helipads look a bit geeky but they are very useful if taking off or landing in sandy/grass areas as the drone kicks up a lot of debris which can damage it. Also, when your drone gets to approx 30ft in altitude it takes a photo to assist it landing in the correct location if it needs to return to home via GPS, the helipad gives it a great reference point to land in the correct area.
Great review
The gold antenna reflector actually works very very well, if you use it the range will almost double. plenty of vids on it.
Is it really useful for the Mavic 2 Pro? With OcuSync 2.0? Over 5000yds - 5000m? All the feedback is positive about that and a big plus compared with the Mavic Pro.
Rams drone into power lines: Yup, avoids powerlines nicely! ROFL
Lol I highly doubt that the M2P’s sensors saw the 1st powerline lol you got lucky there bro! Never try that again.
Well done, such a great review. I previously had two Parrot drones and they just got stuck in trees and the wind would carry them all over the place. I am a photographer & videographer so would be interested in recording Ariel images etc. I presume this is way better than a parrot drone.
You can adjust your gimbal settings somewhere in the options making it more smooth: Try 15,15.
You took the word out of my mouth. You can adjust the gimbal settings!
I love his calibration process :-)))) Useless video!
Dude in depth! Great review man I just purchased today, it’s on sale at Best Buy for Father’s Day. Got my Father’s Day toy 😈... first drone btw lol
I have the first generation mavic and love it and toying over if I should buy a mavic2 pro drone with the Hasalblad camera and think your video has answerd my question it seems to be all the features I would like to upgrade to.Yes the software updates are a right pain but that's the nature of dji so thanks for helping to decide.
good video I have a question what kind of camera do you use to record yourself
The gimbal is controllable in its settings, and can be made to perform super smoothly, have not had any problems with it.....
Poor guy has no clue🕵🏻♂️
very nice truck you have. LC love love
Good morning TFL off road, I just watched your video on the Magic pro 2 and was very impressed with it.I have been thinking about getting into commercial video for profit and have been building and flying for years up till 2015. I would like to ask if I may what’s your background with drones and videos, and cameras. Also, is there any advice that you can offer on the subject of drones. The mavic pro 2 is something that Iam very interested in however, I just received a update on DJI in the process of releasing a new product on the market and will wait on finding out about it, thank you.
Haha, I have a Palisade too and just bought the Mavic 2 Pro. Love that Palisade color.
What mic setup did you use when you on scene outside?
Garbage? Lol, they landing pad can save your gimbal from crapping out on your drone, when you blow all that dust and sand up into it takeoff/landing , it’s difficult to clean it out, the pad is a must when launching from certain places.
Did you update the Firmware last month?
Hi I have never had or flown a drone before, would this model be a good first buy, thanks 🙏
I have the mavic 2 zoom and it's great. That zoom makes a huge difference. FYI the lighting/sound in your office or break room is really bad.
Hi, good evening Sir. I have a question, please help me. Can DIJ drone
track GPS point like Garmin CSX60 ? If yes, how to setting/find the gps
point in DIJ drone? I really need to know the setting of compass and GPS
point in this DIJ drone. Thank you Sir.
Question circle mode …. Let’s say you want to circle a 40 story Bldg but circle from the 20th floor can it be done ……. And if you had to do it manually how would you do it
How long dose the battery last and do anyone know if they sale a after market battery that last longer
Those signal enhancers that "look like a gimmick" are the best thing ever!! I got them for my drone thinking the same that two pieces of tin foil cant do much, but WOW it doubled my range its now whatever the battery can handle. before the signal would go 360 this way it points it all in one directions, so you must always have it facing the drone, and once you do its many times the original strength
That was funny calibration :)
The landing pad was probably the single most used and important item in the box ' helps keep dust and dirt out of your $1500 drone.
What camera are you using for filming the video ?
Compass calibration leads to raking on the software? I've been flying a week and understand that GPS drones rely on a proper compass setting. With a decent drone (such as DJI makes) you normally won't need to reset your compass until you significantly change your location.
Is it waterproof enough to handle a drizzle?
The land pad is also required in some cities and county or you could get a ticket by law enforcement
he said the landing pad is not usefull but I have one and its great for taking off in long grass or loose dirt
It is the best? What about the Phantom?
Move away from the truck noob! And that is not how to calibrate the compass😒
1st you didnt calibrate correctylu the compass,2nd the gimbal has options for tilt.For example you can make it slower or faster or you can just master using the controller wheel better.
What's up with the snorkel? I doubt you would ever use it as it might smudge the wax.
I’m looking for good drone eny tips
I don’t see how you hate updates when updates fixes bugs and gives new firmware.
I love drones
Thanks for sharing...you sound Aussie bro. Come back home, get outta the states mate 😜
Looking at the area you filmed this, that ‘mostly garbage’ landing pad would come in handy.
Flying through power cables? Come on!
I wouldn't do that...Unless you want to be in an epic fails video
Hey all that's dust you kicked up when your drone took off, is why you should use the landing mat, fyi it keeps dust out of your motors which would be 1,500.00 dollars you spent for this drone
Did he say "compass"?
I am looking to get a Mavic 2 Pro this week. Question for experienced drone owners: how common are accidents/crashes and do you purchase drone insurance?
Hi, I'm just waiting to have delivered a new m2p as my p4a crashed recently. My p4a was good for about 18 months but I did slowly become less trusting of it. Even though I did regularly replace the props, it crashed because 1 of the props exploded at the trailing edge of a blade stem - meaning a manufacture fault, I didn't hit anything.
Hopefully my new m2p will prove to be more reliable - unlike this TH-cam presenter, I found a new one, with free delivery and 12 month warranty for around $168.96 cheaper than the mentioned amazon kit at $1330. Even if I wanted an additional sdcard, I'd still be around $100 up.
Really looking forward to flying it and continuing to add videos to my channel!
Get the DJI refresh program. I crashed my mavic pro 1 in a tree in up state NY. The drone stayed in the tree for 6 months until the wind blew it down. It was unusable, broken and had water damage from being in the rain. I had purchased the refresh program from DJI and I sent the drone in for repair. 3 weeks later they sent me a brand new mavic pro 1. Definitely worth $100 cost of the refresh program.
DJI must be getting owner data to send where? before it will work...jeeeesh jorge!!
On my Mavic mini, I just go back to the previous screen and then connect the aircraft again when it says “compass error” and the message goes away. No need to do the calibration dance.
Also, someone on TH-cam tested those range extenders and they work. That stuff was all free from Amazon, is there any reason to call it garbage? You seem a bit ungrateful my friend.
Nice Toyota btw
I had a (purchased new) phantom 4 that I had problems with from day one that were never solved, I flew it a total of 4 times..and then it sat in my closet for multiple years. I finally sold it cheap and decided I'd try a mavic 2 pro thinking they'd be so much better. I ordered one with the regular controller, and it was messed up from the time I received it, so I returned that and it cost me $70 total (small restocking fee). The regular controller is a PITA to use so I figured I'd try another one with the smart controller. That controller is fantastic, and this mavic 2 pro worked pretty much as expected. However, I could only fly it about half a mile before it would lose connection (mostly flat rural area). I probably could have made it work, but for $2k I really have no need for a drone, so it went back as well. Luckily this time I was smart about were I purchased it and it didn't cost me a penny.
one word: rtfm. regular controller works just as it have to.
@@izoyt I did 'rtfm'. The regular controller works, yes. However you have this cheap little usb cable that you HAVE to have to use it. However, this same cheap little usb cable also HAS to be plugged and unplugged multiple times every time you use the stupid thing. (To charge the controller, you must unplug the usb cable and plug the usb cable from the charger in, then when it's charged you must unplug the charger and plug in the other cable, then you have to plug the other end into your phone..and when done using the remote you must unplug that. Besides the fact that I have to take my case off my phone, as it will not fit with the case on it)..and it kills my phone battery because the battery in the remote doesn't charge enough to charge my phone. Just a big hassle every time you want to use it lmfao. The smart controller just works, and it feels a lot better in your hands.
@@wantsanewvehicle there's regular usb plug for use with phone on holder (with case) etc, and you can charge it . original controller is made in same way as drone itself: to be as compact and mobile as possible. for that it works just fine and i flown it in rural or rocky areas very far without problems. rtfm also stands for knowing your equipment, how signal works, what can cause lost of it, what can mess up internal gps or compass etc (this goes for any drone). if phantom and mavic with occosync didn't work for you, than i don't think any other similar drone will, sorry, all of them are weaker in basically
@@izoyt Hey, if it works for you and you are happy with it..fantastic. If it were me, I don't like the controller setup and I feel as though the smart controller is the only way to go. Like I said, like most people, I have no need for a drone and after being disappointed and wasting a lot of money on the phantom, I wasn't about to waste even more on this one to realize that I will only use it 4 times in 3 years.
Wats price
Sounds like he was against the product as soon as he seen the first item
You should always update your compass and GPS every time you do a flight. It’s like this kid never used a drone before
Does it matter if its an Android Phone or iPhone when hooking it up to the controller ?
No.
@@reecemesser Thanks
Who says "compass" like that?
Great info. Are Hasselblad using the Sony Sensor?
Whats a comp-pass? Is it just me or does he say "compass" weird?
Did the phantom pro 4 get discontinued?
Yes
I disagree landing pad is really useful especially if taking off in sandy spots sand can damage the drones internals and motors plus it snows alot where I'm located so land pad plus steaks is extremely useful. Gimble speed can be adjusted
It's 2020 dude, updates are the norm.
Who complains about calibrating a compass? Rather do that to having the thing crash mid-flight.
Stop watching after you said the landing pad was useless🤔
Great video
That’s My RV
Interesting how critical he is of software updates especially when going over the all the complexities and features....
TFL drone?
This video doesn't play when I cast it to my tv
I can't stand dji because of updates LUL whaaaa
The obstacle avoidance going through the power lines was absolute luck :D it is definitely not that sensitive IRL. LOL
Well you’re right on his behalf due to luck But mine did this the other week while doing a return to home at current altitude. Also note that I have had a few flights in the woods without and crashes or maybe we just got well put together quads🤷♂️🕺
Why doesn't anybody say anything about M2Pro batteries? I think they get too hot when flown for long, & they get swollen, & I have read many similar cases. Some have returned their batteries to dji & had them changed, but people like me in Iran have to buy new ones. The voltage & cells are all ok, but battery is swollen. I think it is only for heat.
Those Amazon bundles are always junk. I got one of them when I got my big camera, and a lot of the bundle stuff didn't even work right.
Nonsense
@@reecemesser Maybe you had a better experience. Mine and TFL's obviously weren't.
If you wanted a good bundle you should've got the DJI Fly More Combo instead of that Amazon one...👍🏽
Don't discount the landing pad, so readily. You would be surprised how useful one of those can be when your launch/landing areas are 98% either really tall grassy areas, or beaches. Trying to land a drone in tall grass or beach sand are not good ideas. That landing pad gives you a clearing of sorts to put down on. Actually, pretty useful.
Software means never having to say you are done.
You know your topic so well and you communicate clearly. This review was very well done.
Was it though?????
That is the tesla of drones
I wouldn't say this drone is crash proof. I ended up crashing my Mavic 2 Pro. I had a glitch and the drone took off and hit into a house. The sensors didn't try to stop it.
I really think you were extremely lucky to fly through the power lines, to say the least. The Mavic didn't "see" any of the power lines, only the trees on the left side, 7ft away AFTER flying through the power lines at at 11:57 th-cam.com/video/D6MpqPe2-mg/w-d-xo.html Many Mavic 2 Pro crashes are shown with way bigger obstacles than that. There is no way the sensors would detect a power cable. Don't count on the obstacle avoidance sensors to save the drone, it works well but has its limitations. There are plenty of videos showing these limitations.
Should get to know the product first you was wrong on how to charge the battery.
I crashed mine in helix mode. I got unlocked from the tracking and it flew wildly into a tree. Thankfully. If not for the tree it would have been lost
I'll buy that in the us because 1,500 dollars in my country 76,000 peso and the price of the mavic here is 87,900 peso so its better to buy the drone in the US
You have to calibrate almost every high end drone
