QUESTION : Can you show how to make the gimbal to move more slowly??? I have the spark and if you adjust it to almost 1-2 the movement is very slow. Can you tell me how to do it with the Mavic air 2 because you didn't mentioned thanks
My new Mavic Air 2 is only 1 day old. This is my first drone and just want to thank you for how immensely useful your efforts have been for me - awesome job, thanks!
Just bought my air 2 today. Had some settings questions. Came to TH-cam, typed in what I was looking for and your video was perfect. Answered all my questions plus additional info. Great video. Thank you.
Excellent! Very quick, very clear and almost complete. Do you explain elsewhere (but in the same way) hyperlapse settings, the use of ND filters and HDR? I am a late comer: Just bought a second hand AIR 2 from a DJI store in Italy.
Billy, thx. Can you go over the other setting s on the camera tab/menu while in flight too? Example, while in quickshots... You can change between 1080HD, 2.7k, and 4k. I am sure there are more setting s while in flight for each item like camera, video, hypelapse etc.
Bought mine on Sunday. Coming from the Spark is such a huuuuge jump in the app and the quality. Gonna have so much fun with this thing. Thanks for the insightful tips!
I use a custom layout. Left stick does foward, back and strafing. Right stick does elevation and turning. I find this a lot easier for my brain to comprehend as it's not too disimlilar from the controls in games.
Man I should have had the balls to do the same in the beginning, that would have felt so much more natural. I was afraid I will brake something, as it is my first drone ever. And yes, I play a lot of playstation too haha. I have been flying with the mode 2 now for several days, maybe I will give it a go with the custom and it is not too late to change.
What a great video! I wish I had seen it a few months ago before I started flying my drone. What I want to know is whether there is a way to get the elevation to show on the videos you take with the drone? That's something I'd like to see while watching my videos.
thanks for taking the time to do the video ! what are the orange highlights that show up in the video feed? you have some right at the very bottom edge, and some at the top of the screen.
Hi . Thanks for your explanations. Very Helpful . I would like to know about the Stitching capability that this drone offers when taking more than one picture with the surroundings . Do you know something about that ? Thanks you
Just purchased the Mavic Air 2! I'm so excited. Can't wait to get this bird in the air. I've been flying the Mavic Mini for the past year and LOVE IT! Looking to up my game, and this guy is just what I need. Thanks for the informative video as always:)
Great tutorial, I have a couple of queries. 1: how do you change the user account on the Fly app? 2: we will be using this to make videos of rescue dogs, we are planning on using the auto follow mode on the dog of interest. Do you have any suggestions, thoughts, ideas? Thank you
Great video Billy...there is one more screen in the camera section that shows video settings (not photos) that shows up when. The app is in video mode. I want to know what file type to use for videos...H264 or 265??
is it correct that the orange "line" in the lower part of the live transmission screen is a hint that there is an obstacle in front of the cam? Could above, too, when there is something front?!
Billy, I really like your videos. I'm a new drone operator and I have gotten invaluable info from this video in particular.. I do have a question. In this video and all the others I've watch everyone mentioned the feature in the bottom center of the screen. It looks like a half circle with a small triangle icon that moves around according to the position of the drone to the controller. I think you referred to is as the orientation display. It always on the videos I watch but hit doesn't display on my and I cannot figure out where to turn it on. Could you tell me how to get this function to display? I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!
Does that mean still no controller settings to adjust expo, rates, gimbal speed. Seems like it would be impossible to get smooth footage without using a smart mode. Is tripod enough? Personally I loved a slow gimbal pitch with braking for silky footage. How are you handling that Billy, seem like big features are missing.
Hi Billy, enjoy your videos. Can you provide me additional information regarding icon at bottom middle of screen (drone orientation)? Is Calibration required? Sometimes goes red (meaning what, lost signal)? Thank you for any information you can provide.
Absolutely first class review and tutorial. I have had my Air 2 for a few days, now, and already picked up some setting tips from your clip. Thanks for posting. Great job! 👍 😎 Cheers, out of New Zealand.
Great video Billy! Just got mine yesterday and have been reading the manual and with this video and the manual, I'm getting a good lesson on how to operate it. Well done!
OK the Manual exposure versus Automatic exposure is clear. I cannot however work out what is happening when I press the AE Lock. I can still select between Auto and Manual and the auto is still changing the exposure - Please can you explain what the lock does? Thanks. Great video for a newbie by the way.
You are awesome. Just the way you speak. Like a journalist 😁Thanks for all your time and effort to inform us. Just received my mavic air 2 like 5 minutes ago. YESSSSS
Billy, I just bought a new DJI Mavic Air 2 but have not set it up, how do I make sure that I have all of the updates for my drone? Where do I look and how do I update (drone and/or controller). Thanks in advance!
Thank you for this helpful tutorial. Pity though you're not talking about video settings. I've been looking at several youtubers who are talking about choosing D-cinelike. The problem I seem to be having is I don't have the option in the Flyapp to choose between Normal and D-cinelike, D-cinelike just isn't there for some reason. Do you happen to know why? Something I've done wrong or overlooked in the settings?
Just got my MA2 yesterday and i had cached video turned on and i did see a lack on my iPhone X. Ill be turning that off, thanks for the tip. I was thinking if i'm capturing the video and was to lose the drone the video would be able to help me find it better if the battery dies before im able to locate it with FIND MY DRONE. On further thought i dont plan on ever losing LOS with the drone but you never know if your over woods or in a rough terrain.
I'm a genuine greenhorn when it comes to drones. Got myself the MA2 a few days ago, still mostly kinda shaky so the review you did is absolutely awesome and helps me a lot. Went at least five times through it and probably will do a few more. Thanks man, cheers 🍻
Do you think its worth about 400 USD more from the Mavic Mini? Would be an awesome addon video to a comparison of the Air 2 vs Mini! Lastly, just wondering, if the Mavic Mini(without registering) would have any advantages in places you can fly as compared to where you cannot fly other Mavic drones above 250 grams. Thank you for sharing!
Omg thank you so much!!! Right to the point and clear english. Ive watched a few videos that took like 15mins just to even get to 1 setting. 😂 thank uuuuuu
Hey Billy great video. Just wanted to let you know that the last thing on the page with rc identification says apply, and when you click on that it saves your changes.
Thanks for all your help, This video want great, but a little fast to follow; had to stop it once in a while and repeat it to get it right. By the way I see on the bottom and top of the screen an orange line that moves across screen. You can see it on your video.
@@billykyle I thought the video was great thanks for sharing it has helped a lot. I agree the information was very fast paced but I just went into the playback settings and played it at a speed of 0.75 and it was great. Thanks again I am now off to use mine for the first time.
Very usefull tutorial, but you have missed some details. In the camera menu there are different settings depending the actual shooting mode. The setting possibilities totally different in case of hyperlapse ( 1080p or 8k), panoramic ( save original photos or not, which format), or purely the normal video shooting modes ( codec settings h264, or h265?) etc... You have introduced only the camera menu, which is available in still photo mode. The phylosophy of the fly app is different from the go4 app. The fly app seems more simple because of the less individual menu items ,and on the top of it only the relevant setting visible in the actual menu.
I've been disappointed with the settings in the fly app after using the go app with my Mavic for the past three years. The settings being hidden and only available while in the air is my biggest issue. It seems to me that just for safety I should be able to go and look at all the configuration settings while sitting at home with unlimited power available.
I use mode 3. no need to confuse my video game controls which ive used my entire life with my drone controls. thought it might help me fly more naturally.
I have an question, coulnd't find it online. My 1st drone the mavic pro 2. In the quickshots (in for example "circle") I was able to change the radius.hight, gimball and altitude. Do the air 2 or the mini 2 have the same options?
Billy there are some differences in what can be set when you run the Fly app on android and you missed the "Video" section under "Camera". Other than my comments below a very informative and helpful, especially tapping the on screen status to bring up altitude settings and remaining storage on SD card. Control Section Settings For Android there is no "Phone Charging" under "Remote Controller in "Control" and "Toggle Map/Live View is NOT included in the list of options for "Button Customization", only "Recenter Gimbal" and "Auxillary LED". Camera Section Settings The first section under "Camera" is determined by which mode the camera is in. Since you were in "Photo" mode the settings for "Photo" were showing in your video. If you had been in "Video" mode and brought "Camera" settings up "Video" and it's settings will show instead of "Photo". For "Video" your options are "Format" (MP4, MOV), "Color" (Normal, there is no other option), "Coding Format" (H.264, H.265), and "Video Subtitles" (On/OFF). Under "Cache When Recording" for android you have the option as to how big you want the cache to be (2 GB, 4 GB, 8 GB, 16 GB, AUTO)
I saw a post you can now create DNG files in Hyperlapse and indeed you can. Go into Hyperlapse mode and bring up the "Camera" settings from the three vertical dots. The first group of settings will now show "Hyperlapse" and you can select jpeg or dng.
Hey Billy. Nice tutorial. However, I'm missing some functions in my settings. Phone charging option and toggle map option missing. Can you or someone please help? Btw, I'm on the latest firmware update.
Hi, the phone charging option is only there on iOS (Apple) devices. Charging is always enabled on Android phones. On Apple, the charging option always starts OFF and will need switching on each time (if required). These are all phone operating system limitations.
I have been following you from when you started.... You have really honed your media skills. It was a pleasure to watch, and having just got my MA2 , you covered ALL my questions! Thank you, keep up the good work.
Nice job. I personally like to leave the cache video on just in case you have a situation where you may need to review the video for a emergency landing or sometime where you are unsure about where the drone may be. Its a great drone Im happy with it!!
Billy: Great job as usual. I can't find the Gimbal settings that I used in the DJI go 4 app to set my pitch speed and pitch smoothness. I can't locate the advanced gimbal settings option. I just received my MA 2 2 days ago, and yesterday spent firmware updates, RC battery charging including the 3 batteries. I also enjoyed your range test video a few days ago. This drone is very responsive to the joy sticks. Interesting that the images and videos don't have to be synched on the My flights feature located on the Fly App. In the MA1 Go4 App, I had to synch them and then use the HD synch app to retrieve in Air Data. . The phone images makes the air Data difficult to see. This Fly App seems a lot less complex compared to the DJI Go 4, but hopefully, some of the options were not deleted. Best wishes
ma2 normal to experience lagging?during recording,,delayed for few second..pretty annoying..i'm using iphone7plus..or becoz of my sd card?no issue with mavic pro back then
Billy, I have looked on google app store and do not see this fly app. Did you use the app on the dji mavic air 2 download page or am I missing something?
Hey Billy, i am sure my mavic air 2 is too fast in tripod mode. Do you agree that the drone does not go at a crawl speed in that mode. I find it harder to capture cinematic shots. Do you know of a setting that brings the speed down, or will it be a firmware update issue. I noticed this on my first flight out the box, and the issue remains to this day. Thanks.
I can’t see the battery icon most of the time. Just the bit about tapping on that to get more info was great. Thanks. ETA: knowing that the native aspect ratio of the sensor is 4:3 is important.
Thanks for the video. One thing they need to get right. I get the new drone watch some videos and I am thinking about all the settings, get it turned on and going through settings to realize I have a warning that the gimbal lock is still on! This has happened to me with every drone like many others. It should not turn on with the lock in place or it shut down immediately with a warning. I flew one of my drones line of sight and realized the lock was on the whole time. After that I got camera resets while flying so it must damage it.
The phone charging option is no longer available for me. I did see it when I got my air 2 in January. Maybe it was an update? Do you still have that option?
I am very new to flying a drone. I now have a mini. I just ordered an air 2. I have learned a lot from your video's. My biggest problem I have is what all the terms mean i.e. IMU FPD UAS FPV and so forth Wish I could find a video that explains all what they stand for. Thanks
"APAS Limits Drone Speed"? Normal mode: 12m/s (26.8mph) is limited to what speed with APAS switch ON? What speeds do you fly low across fields of boulders, through forests and cities of tall buildings?
Hi Billy.....are you using an iphone or an android? I ask, because I'm using a Sam S10+, and the phone charge option under the control heading does not exist!!! Do you have any info on this? Could my phone automatically be charging since it has the "touch" or "contact" charging capability? Thanks for any help you have.
Good walk thru of the Fly app. I was disappointed that they Fly app does not have stick trimming/tweaking like in GO 4, but after using the MA2 in tripod mode it does a good enough job slowing down the drone/stick movements to make "cinematic" turns. But with that said I might want to go forward fast in sport mode but turn slowly so I do miss that feature, but not a deal breaker. Not a fan of not being able to set a new home point until after the drone is in flight and the return to take off location vs return to current remote location options.
Very good Billy. I was curious about the details of the Fly app. I’m still undecided about the drone. Waiting for it to be compatible with the smart controller which should happen soon. The app seems very limited in terms of gimbal sensitivity, and control stick sensitivity. Those could be dealbreakers for me.
Hi, I'm pretty new to drones and would like to know how to get longer recordings on my sd card, its a 128gb card but only records upto 3.5gb before ending and then starting to record again. Great video BTW thanks.
I have the Mavic Air 2 and sometimes get a red icon at middle bottom of my screen, (remote to drone orientation). It goes away pretty quickly and I have not been able to read it. I am wondering if it has to do with loss of signal. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.
At 12:52 you show a slider with which you can choose whether to switch the "Phone Charging" on or off. I don't have that choice. and At 14:08 you show 3 options for the Function key, I only have 2 I have RC firmware 01.00.0108 on Android Why this difference?
Hey Billy, I can’t seem to toggle most options in the app. Just unresponsive?? Don’t suppose you know the issue? Still waiting for a response from dji Cheers
Hi there.. My Mavic Air 2 won't go over 40km/hr (25mph), even when in sports mode. It doesn't matter whether I'm going with or against the wind... 40kmh/25Mph is the fastest I've got it to go in sports mode. It has the latest firmware. Any idea what it could be? Would changing gimbal settings affect the flight speed at all? I'm clueless on this one.
Does anyone know where the Orientation setting is? Billy is talking about it around 4:50 seconds but I don't have it on my screen and can't find where to turn it on or off.
Had a gimbal issue today, but it seemed to clear after I pressed RTH! Also the white dot with semi-circle and pointer at the bottom middle of my screen has disappeared without me doing anything.
RTH - Update Home Point - Your said update to where the air craft is @ min 7:30. The RController I believe becomes the new Home Point?? Launch from boat return to dock, update Home with RC in hand while standing on dock. The dock becomes HP?
Billy: With new MA 2, the air data doesn't completely capture the data. When I open the airdate app, I do not get a complete flight path as well as data in the Notifications area and choosing the HD button. Any thoughts?
With the new tech and features on this little beast, what’s everyone’s thoughts on the Mavic 2’s... doesn’t seem the clear top dog anymore on all points so is there any news or talk of an upgrade or new release on the Mavic 2’s?
Are there settings that need to be adjusted for the range? Just got mine couple days ago and every time it gets more than 1500 feet away says “weak signal”
Billy, I received my Air 2 early last week and when exploring the settings, I couldn't find the switch to control the "phone charging" option. Do you think there has been an update since you made this video? Unfortunately, my Air 2 had an issue with Processor Overheating shortly after take-off and would immediately RTH. It did this 3 of the first 5 flights so now I'm waiting for a replacement from DJI
QUESTION : Can you show how to make the gimbal to move more slowly??? I have the spark and if you adjust it to almost 1-2 the movement is very slow. Can you tell me how to do it with the Mavic air 2 because you didn't mentioned thanks
My new Mavic Air 2 is only 1 day old. This is my first drone and just want to thank you for how immensely useful your efforts have been for me - awesome job, thanks!

one of the best in-depth video about Mavic Air 2.. especially about the features/menu.. good job
Awsome very interesting and very straight forward in guidance thank you billy

I use a custom layout. Left stick does foward, back and strafing. Right stick does elevation and turning. I find this a lot easier for my brain to comprehend as it's not too disimlilar from the controls in games.
Bamxcore And inverted on the right for me of course. 😏
Man I should have had the balls to do the same in the beginning, that would have felt so much more natural. I was afraid I will brake something, as it is my first drone ever.

What a great video! I wish I had seen it a few months ago before I started flying my drone. What I want to know is whether there is a way to get the elevation to show on the videos you take with the drone? That's something I'd like to see while watching my videos.
Good job. Still no gimbal speed and stop settings. Wonder if they soften when in Tripod mode?
thanks for taking the time to do the video ! what are the orange highlights that show up in the video feed? you have some right at the very bottom edge, and some at the top of the screen.
A lot of info packed into
Hi . Thanks for your explanations. Very Helpful . I would like to know about the Stitching capability that this drone offers when taking more than one picture with the surroundings . Do you know something about that ? Thanks you

1:00 does Tripod mode same as the Cinemode that is shown on my Mavic Air 2's controller?
Great tutorial, I have a couple of queries. 1: how do you change the user account on the Fly app? 2: we will be using this to make videos of rescue dogs, we are planning on using the auto follow mode on the dog of interest. Do you have any suggestions, thoughts, ideas?
Thank you
*Great, fast and to-the-point video. I really appreciate it. Mutual Respect & World Peace from Calcutta, West Bengal, India.* Cheers!
Great video Billy...there is one more screen in the camera section that shows video settings (not photos) that shows up when. The app is in video mode. I want to know what file type to use for videos...H264 or 265??
With emergency prop stop, if the drone is free falling, can it be re-engaged mid fall?
depends how high you are and how fast you are ;)
is it correct that the orange "line" in the lower part of the live transmission screen is a hint that there is an obstacle in front of the cam? Could above, too, when there is something front?!
there's no top sensors on the mavic air 2, so it is an obstacle in the front.
Billy, I really like your videos. I'm a new drone operator and I have gotten invaluable info from this video in particular.. I do have a question. In this video and all the others I've watch everyone mentioned the feature in the bottom center of the screen.

Weird question! i heard about drones getting hacked in the air and suddenly take off and being stolen like that. Any info or thoughts on that?
What?
My Mavic arrives tomorrow but I haven't seen on any vids where you put in the SD card? Great vid!!
Thanks for all your help, This video want great, but a little fast to follow; had to stop it once in a while and repeat it to get it right. By the way I see on the bottom and top of the screen an orange line that moves across screen. You can see it on your video.
Sorry it was so fast, I try to fit as much information into a short time frame 😅
@@billykyle I thought the video was great thanks for sharing it has helped a lot. I agree the information was very fast paced but I just went into the playback settings and played it at a speed of 0.75 and it was great. Thanks again I am now off to use mine for the first time.

I use mode 3. no need to confuse my video game controls which ive used my entire life with my drone controls. thought it might help me fly more naturally.
13:30 mode 3, it’s like any video game where the left stick moves and strafes the character while the right rotates
Hi just wondering under control menu what does Re-pair to aircraft (link) mean?
I have an question, coulnd't find it online. My 1st drone the mavic pro 2. In the quickshots (in for example "circle") I was able to change the radius.hight, gimball and altitude. Do the air 2 or the mini 2 have the same options?
Billy there are some differences in what can be set when you run the Fly app on android and you missed the "Video" section under "Camera". Other than my comments below a very informative and helpful, especially tapping the on screen status to bring up altitude settings and remaining storage on SD card.
Control Section Settings
For Android there is no "Phone Charging" under "Remote Controller in "Control" and "Toggle Map/Live View is NOT included in the list of options for "Button Customization", only "Recenter Gimbal" and "Auxillary LED".
Camera Section Settings
The first section under "Camera" is determined by which mode the camera is in. Since you were in "Photo" mode the settings for "Photo" were showing in your video. If you had been in "Video" mode and brought "Camera" settings up "Video" and it's settings will show instead of "Photo". For "Video" your options are "Format" (MP4, MOV), "Color" (Normal, there is no other option), "Coding Format" (H.264, H.265), and "Video Subtitles" (On/OFF).
Under "Cache When Recording" for android you have the option as to how big you want the cache to be (2 GB, 4 GB, 8 GB, 16 GB, AUTO)
I saw a post you can now create DNG files in Hyperlapse and indeed you can. Go into Hyperlapse mode and bring up the "Camera" settings from the three vertical dots. The first group of settings will now show "Hyperlapse" and you can select jpeg or dng.
Hey Billy. Nice tutorial. However, I'm missing some functions in my settings. Phone charging option and toggle map option missing. Can you or someone please help? Btw, I'm on the latest firmware update.
Hi, the phone charging option is only there on iOS (Apple) devices. Charging is always enabled on Android phones. On Apple, the charging option always starts OFF and will need switching on each time (if required). These are all phone operating system limitations.
I have been following you from when you started.... You have really honed your media skills. It was a pleasure to watch, and having just got my MA2 , you covered ALL my questions! Thank you, keep up the good work.
Nice job. I personally like to leave the cache video on just in case you have a situation where you may need to review the video for a emergency landing or sometime where you are unsure about where the drone may be. Its a great drone Im happy with it!!
Billy: Great job as usual. I can't find the Gimbal settings that I used in the DJI go 4 app to set my pitch speed and pitch smoothness. I can't locate the advanced gimbal settings option.
I just received my MA 2 2 days ago, and yesterday spent firmware updates, RC battery charging including the 3 batteries. I also enjoyed your range test video a few days ago. This drone is very responsive to the joy sticks.
Interesting that the images and videos don't have to be synched on the My flights feature located on the Fly App. In the MA1 Go4 App, I had to synch them and then use the HD synch app to retrieve in Air Data.
. The phone images makes the air Data difficult to see.
This Fly App seems a lot less complex compared to the DJI Go 4, but hopefully, some of the options were not deleted.

ma2 normal to experience lagging?during recording,,delayed for few second..pretty annoying..i'm using iphone7plus..or becoz of my sd card?no issue with mavic pro back then
Billy, I have looked on google app store and do not see this fly app. Did you use the app on the dji mavic air 2 download page or am I missing something?
Hey Billy, i am sure my mavic air 2 is too fast in tripod mode. Do you agree that the drone does not go at a crawl speed in that mode. I find it harder to capture cinematic shots. Do you know of a setting that brings the speed down, or will it be a firmware update issue. I noticed this on my first flight out the box, and the issue remains to this day. Thanks.
I can’t see the battery icon most of the time. Just the bit about tapping on that to get more info was great. Thanks.
ETA: knowing that the native aspect ratio of the sensor is 4:3 is important.
Thanks for the video. How long does it take to write the 48mp Raw files to sd card?
Hey Billy I have a quick question can we charge mavic air 2 batteries with power bank?
Thanks for the video. One thing they need to get right. I get the new drone watch some videos and I am thinking about all the settings, get it turned on and going through settings to realize I have a warning that the gimbal lock is still on! This has happened to me with every drone like many others. It should not turn on with the lock in place or it shut down immediately with a warning. I flew one of my drones line of sight and realized the lock was on the whole time. After that I got camera resets while flying so it must damage it.
The phone charging option is no longer available for me. I did see it when I got my air 2 in January. Maybe it was an update? Do you still have that option?
Billy, does the Fly app show how many charges to the battery? That would be helpful.
Yes it is in the about section
Zane Shaw great! I’ll check it out. Thank you😷👍👍
I am very new to flying a drone. I now have a mini. I just ordered an air 2. I have learned a lot from your video's. My biggest problem I have is what all the terms mean i.e. IMU FPD UAS FPV and so forth Wish I could find a video that explains all what they stand for. Thanks
"APAS Limits Drone Speed"? Normal mode: 12m/s (26.8mph) is limited to what speed with APAS switch ON? What speeds do you fly low across fields of boulders, through forests and cities of tall buildings?
Hi Billy.....are you using an iphone or an android? I ask, because I'm using a Sam S10+, and the phone charge option under the control heading does not exist!!! Do you have any info on this? Could my phone automatically be charging since it has the "touch" or "contact" charging capability? Thanks for any help you have.
Whether someone is an experienced pilot or first time flyer your videos always offer helpful info. Bravo, Billy. Happy flying 😷👍👍
Good walk thru of the Fly app. I was disappointed that they Fly app does not have stick trimming/tweaking like in GO 4, but after using the MA2 in tripod mode it does a good enough job slowing down the drone/stick movements to make "cinematic" turns. But with that said I might want to go forward fast in sport mode but turn slowly so I do miss that feature, but not a deal breaker. Not a fan of not being able to set a new home point until after the drone is in flight and the return to take off location vs return to current remote location options.
at time 2:32 you said wifi signal strength, I think the controller uses ocusync and not the wifi from the phone. am I wrong? thank you
It looks like a wifi signal you know, and tells the strenght of the signal to the drone but no, it is not wifi but ocusync just as you say.
Hi Billy, is there a setting to adjust the speed and smoothness of both the drone and gimbal? I was able to adjust this on previous drones.
@Daytona 6263 Clearly, you don't know what adjusting means.
Question. How do you get the orientation icon at the bottom and extended camera menu to see the zoom features.
I have a question: the icon that tells you were your drone is in relationship to the controller sometimes turns red. Why?
@Wandering Opossum Could you lose your drone if it turns red?
I've had my MVA2 now for a couple of weeks and this video has helped answer quite a few questions for me! Thanks Bro.
Very good Billy. I was curious about the details of the Fly app. I’m still undecided about the drone. Waiting for it to be compatible with the smart controller which should happen soon. The app seems very limited in terms of gimbal sensitivity, and control stick sensitivity. Those could be dealbreakers for me.
The drone itself is awesome but wish they used the go 4 app for it
Hi, I'm pretty new to drones and would like to know how to get longer recordings on my sd card, its a 128gb card but only records upto 3.5gb before ending and then starting to record again.
Great video BTW thanks.
I'm a little bummed that there's no option to adjust the gimbal pitch speed. Maybe in a future version of DJI Fly?
I have the Mavic Air 2 and sometimes get a red icon at middle bottom of my screen, (remote to drone orientation). It goes away pretty quickly and I have not been able to read it. I am wondering if it has to do with loss of signal. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.
If you walk away from the spot you launched the drone it will ask you if you want to mark a new home location.
At 12:52 you show a slider with which you can choose whether to switch the "Phone Charging" on or off. I don't have that choice.
and
At 14:08 you show 3 options for the Function key, I only have 2
I have RC firmware 01.00.0108 on Android
Why this difference?
so no gimbal custom modes and has anyone found sd card recording time left
So you need memory card to use quick shots with mavic mini
How did you managed to change the units from M to FT?
can the dji mavic air 2 stock controller be used to control the newer dji air 2s. Any comment is greatly appreciated. thanks in advance.
Hey Billy, I can’t seem to toggle most options in the app. Just unresponsive??
Don’t suppose you know the issue?
Still waiting for a response from dji
Cheers
TY for the tips, Billy. I changed a couple to match yours and understand it better now. Fly safe.
Hi there.. My Mavic Air 2 won't go over 40km/hr (25mph), even when in sports mode. It doesn't matter whether I'm going with or against the wind... 40kmh/25Mph is the fastest I've got it to go in sports mode. It has the latest firmware. Any idea what it could be? Would changing gimbal settings affect the flight speed at all? I'm clueless on this one.
Does anyone know where the Orientation setting is? Billy is talking about it around 4:50 seconds but I don't have it on my screen and can't find where to turn it on or off.
are the setting different for different phones? I have a Note 8 phone and the option to turn on and off the phone charge is not available on mine.
doy you like DJI thoughts on remote ID?
Is there a way to select a speed for the gimble upward pan??
Had a gimbal issue today, but it seemed to clear after I pressed RTH! Also the white dot with semi-circle and pointer at the bottom middle of my screen has disappeared without me doing anything.
Only thing I wish that DJI would've done was to set a manual alarm of a battery power threshold.
RTH - Update Home Point - Your said update to where the air craft is @ min 7:30. The RController I believe becomes the new Home Point?? Launch from boat return to dock, update Home with RC in hand while standing on dock. The dock becomes HP?
what camera are you using for your videos. love the channel
Something I haven’t been able to determine is this.... should I have my phone wi-fi and Bluetooth ON or OFF when flying?
Billy: With new MA 2, the air data doesn't completely capture the data. When I open the airdate app, I do not get a complete flight path as well as data in the Notifications area and choosing the HD button. Any thoughts?
I can not turn on up ward gimbal rotation. Any ideas why?
hey billy mavic air 2 or the mavic 2 zoom? only can have one
With the new tech and features on this little beast, what’s everyone’s thoughts on the Mavic 2’s... doesn’t seem the clear top dog anymore on all points so is there any news or talk of an upgrade or new release on the Mavic 2’s?
Are there settings that need to be adjusted for the range? Just got mine couple days ago and every time it gets more than 1500 feet away says “weak signal”
Billy, I received my Air 2 early last week and when exploring the settings, I couldn't find the switch to control the "phone charging" option. Do you think there has been an update since you made this video? Unfortunately, my Air 2 had an issue with Processor Overheating shortly after take-off and would immediately RTH. It did this 3 of the first 5 flights so now I'm waiting for a replacement from DJI
Phone charging option is not there with android device.
Ah, after reading some of the other comments, I think maybe the phone charging toggle may only be available on the IOS version of the Fly app
Hi Billy I also noticed on 13:53 there's a way to move the camera gimbal sideways besides up and down right on the screen 😎✌
I believe you put your finger on the screen and drag sideways
great review, on android devices not working toggle map, unable to switch map and camera view , android version 9
Is it best to use the mavic air 2 at home with wifi?
