As always a great vid! I am impressed by the your presentation. No disturbing music in the background, no flashy change of camera angles, no text bouncing in and out in the video, just plain and simple with a calm background and very good sound quality. One can tell that your productions are well thought thru. And last but not least, the content is professional with a twist. Looking forward to your next video!
you are absolutely correct !! :) Rick is doing a very fine job here on TH-cam...excellent video and lighting....and the best : NO ANNOYING LOUD !!REPEATING BACKGROUND MUSIC when he is talking !!! boy o boy...its drives me insane ..to listen to that guys...i switch it off after 20 seconds !! :)
Lars, thanks for the kid words and I'm sorry it took me so long to respond. There are a ton of comments on this clip and I'm still catching up. I really appreciate that you're enjoying the way I'm doing these clips and promise not to add any kooky music or jump-edits to the clips. I have a lot more content I'm working on so be sure to stop back soon. Rick
Gewema - Thanks as well for the kind words. I really enjoy flying (and tech in general) and do these clips to share that with others. I'm not a big fan of the "noisier" slips either and promise to keep these simple and packed with info. Thanks again for watching. Rick
I totally agree with Lars. Great and serious production and very informative. And also very honest. Very few achieve this kind of youtube videos these days. Good job Rick.
This guy is a crazy gold talker/presenter. You can tell he isn't talking from a script. It's a non stop, uncut take. Very well done, cheers mate! Very useful for when I finally receive my Mavic!
Glad you enjoyed the clip and I like to do a lot of research and thinking about a topic before putting a clip together so it kind of flows naturally. I do appreciate the compliments and hope you sub the channel so you don't miss any new ones I post.
I've been floating around TH-cam watching drone channels and videos for a about a year and a half now. Your channel, is BY FAR, the most informative one I've seen. Just wanted to say thanks for the education. Wish I had discovered it prior to pre-ordering a Lily :( . Live and learn.
Hey wanted to thank you for this vid. Got my Mavic last week. Hated taking off my cover on my iPhone 6 plus every time I wanted to use it in the controller. I also have a iPad mini 4 that I really wanted to use. Stumbled on your video, followed the link to the 90 degree cable, and couldn’t be happier! Fits perfect, and no extra cable dangling. Am a subscriber, also am from NJ originally. Thanks neighbor!
Rick, I enjoy your work. Lots of detail and no marshmallows. Several times now I have had questions about my Mavic Air and searched for the answers on TH-cam and other locations only to find inevitably that you are the best most thorough source with the answers I seek. I enjoy your high content and technical expertise. The channel has become my go-to and is a great resource. Great work and an asset to DJI drone users. Thank you. Respectfully Submitted, Dan
I just see that Lars just said this, but I must restate it. FINALLY a drone video that’s not some 20 or 30 something shouting in the camera and blaring loud and obnoxious music during the whole video! Thanks so much as you have done a PROFESSIONAL job unlike most the “other guys” who while they may be knowledgeable, have ZERO understanding on how to communicate in this media. One would think it would be obvious to them but evidently it’s not so clear. But it’s painfully clear to me and others as the comments below indicate. Good on you sir for doing a great job!
I really like your presentations. They're always so clearly audible, straight forward, and informational. I'm not sure if Mavmount was even in business when this video came out, but I just bought one, and I love it. Of course the nice anodized aluminum plate slides into the clamps and the rotating mount holds the clip that holds your tablet. I really didn't know about that little trick you found out about putting the corners of your tablet in to the clamps. That's slick. The only problem for me is that my tablet is too big for that use, so I really did need something like the Mavmount. Thanks again for a great presentation. Marc Trainor.
Great video Sir, I really liked that you showed the tablet connection with the control. How does it feel to work with the control while having the tablet connected? It looks that the hands will feel a little awkward.
Very informative video Rick. I was speculating that the regular USB on the bottom may be utilized to transmit the image to the headset, however if the micro USB takes priority, that may indicate that the headset will use wireless technology to transmit the image. Again, great video, thank you for taking the time to share it with us.
Well...I have watched about 3,017 videos about the Mavic Pro in one form or another, and I've put it in my cart on Amazon three times....this video convinced me to "place my order"....so, please, take some of the blame!! The one thing (among many other secondary things you mentioned) that convinced me in this vid was the fact that I'll likely be able to use my Android 8" tablet...that really is an attraction to me. I'd be happy flying it with my phone, I'm sure, but the bigger the screen, the happier I'll be. Flying a Phantom 3 Standard at present, so this will be a healthy and fun upgrade. Thanks for the excellent stuff....subscribing!!
Perfect explanation, like the way you go into dept ! Besides I have never seen a curved table ;-) I am wondering, if I could connect my laptop (win7) to the controller. Need to find out if I could run Android Apps on Win7.
Rick, Your clips are wonderful - many thanks. I am 75, and am a first-time flyer of drones (I just bought the Mavic Pro - one of the earliest to arrive in Australia - and loving every second. So thanks for the great tips and advice. One question - do you need to turn off the wifi in the iPhone when using it in the controller, to avoid any possible radio interference? regards, Graham
Thank you Rick great video, I purchased the iPad Mini 4 and I utilize it with the DJI mavic Pro Controller I shut off the WiFi and put it in Airplane Mode to eliminate any interference that might be around. My question is, if I am using the intelligent flight modes like follow me or active track, do I need to be connected to Cellular or Wifi? In order for it to work? Thank you in advance and as always, I greatly appreciate all the hard work and dedication that you put into making these tutorial videos about this wonderful Hobby. Joey.
Very nicely presented video. Many thanks. One question I have, is: How can you run dual or additional displays to the one being used to fly the Mavic with? Chers. Hugh
Just a very well-built remote controller overall. I especially love that locking mechanism for the antennas to snap into place together. That solid click noise is reassuring that nothing is going to be damaged whilst it's in the shoulderbag during travel. I am a little concerned with the battery life of the remote. I've watched a few TH-cam videos of the remote in action and I've noticed that the battery percentage for the remote itself tends to drop rather quickly depending on which mobile it's connected to, as it charges the mobile's battery while it's connected via the sync cable. I think using the remote with a fully charged mobile or tablet will reduce the battery downtime. You can also use the powerbank to battery adaptor, that comes with the Fly More Combo bundle, to charge the remote with a low flight battery, which is a godsend.
On the Phantom 4 they introduced an HDMI output for the new Fat-shark Goggles. then made an upgrade for the phantom 3 to use HDMI. I know DJI has an FPV goggle coming, but its the size of a football helmet, defeats the "Portability". Do you know if there is a way to connect one of those USB out to a Fatshark ? Adapter ?
I very much doubt it, which for me is a show stopper. I have two different FPV goggles that have an HDMI input, and I will always either pilot my P3P with them, or offer them to a passenger for a much more immersive experience. For some reason DJI went out of their way to not add an HDMI output to the Mavic Pro which is extremely annoying. I use a nVidia shield tablet though, which has its own HDMI output, so if it fits in the arms as shown in this video, then there's a workaround, but it adds a little bit more latency. It does look like the ergonomics (hands on the controls) with the tablet attached will be somewhat awkward.
Hi Rick, Just got my Mavic yesterday. One thing that is hard to find info on is changing from mode 2 to mode 1. Eventually find out it's on the app. Having problems getting my iPhone to work with controller thought. Can you show a vid on this setup? Btw, excellent straight to the point presentation!
Really impressed by your attention to such tiny design details. Must be a joy to discover hidden features on such a beloved product. Cheers and have a great day.
Thanks for stopping by and commenting. I really enjoy flying and spend a lot time exploring the tech I use. It was nice to uncover these features and I have another clip posting this week for the quad that is similar to this one so be sure to sub the channel so you don't miss it. Rick
"Really impressed by your attention to such tiny design details." -- Ditto that. I tried to insert my iPad Mini 4 but gave up after a user reported that inserting and removing his wore out a portion of the RC.
Excellent informative video, question, are you aware of a cable that drops 90 degrees straight down from side of tablet and is a short cable? I would love to see a range test of the new occusync transmission max distance.
Thank you for pointing out the tablet mount! That's a major relief. Do you have a sense for the max tablet dimension that would not over-stress the mount opening? (My tablet is 7 mm wider than your iPad Mini 4.)
Hello there, I know you spoke of rain in your area so flying was limited. My question is, how is the handling of the Mavic in light rain conditions? I would have included snow,,,, but we haven't got that yet. Also great video.
Hello Rick, you are the best, it is a pleasure to hear your thoughts and opinions, thank you very much. I am still not sure if I can connect an external display or goggles using the USB port wile having a phone connected in the other port. I understood that one output takes priority over the other but can I connect it to an external display simultaneously? In my P3 I have the HDMI board installed for extra HDMI output. It would be sad to be obligated to purchase a DJI wireless googles and not be able to use the one I have. Thank you!
Really excellent, informative videos. Haven't received my Mavic yet.....great to hear that IPad mini fits and there's standard USB connection at bottom of controller. If I want to fly FPV with IPhone in VR goggles, will Cloudlight App work? If not, is there another app that will work. If you know, please advise. Many thanks, Fred
Thanks for showing how to to link an iPad mini to the controller. Great news! to me that's far better than using a smart phone. purely for been able to get a better view. been told there is quite a drain on the smartphones while linked to the controller, do you have any input on that?
I'm glad you got yours, I can't wait to get mine! I ordered mine through Best Buy on October 17 and they have delayed our delivery to November 30 so I'll be watching your videos up until then, keep up the good work!!
Thanks and I hope it arrives early for you. I'll be posting a lot of clips this week with the Mavic so please let me know if you have any questions or want me to test anything. Thanks and be sure to sub the channel. Rick
Hi, great overeview of the controller. When mentioning the third connector in the centre of the controller, the one you connected your mini ipad. I prefer flying with goggles Im sure you should be able to connect a non Mavic goggles using this method. Your thoughts. thanks again.
Great vid, got one on order. I'm concerned about screen glare and brightness outside with phone or tablet. Coated screen? Shades? How has it worked for you?
Certainly finding value in each one of your videos Rick. Found your channel last week and subscribed. Every video I've watched of yours is very informative, easy to watch and understand. Also quite interesting. Well done sir, keep up the great work!
thanks for the valuable info, i trust your reviews above all others. i use a tablet (Ipad mini4) exclusively with my Mavic Air, fits perfectly in the controller and the screen size is perfect. i have yet to have Any issues with connectivity or convenience. one question i have is, is the dji app compatable with the new samsung S9 or Iphone 8plus? your advice is welcomed and trusted, thank you bunches, from a new drone enthusiast in Columbus,Ohio
Very useful video and a relief to those who like to have a bigger screen. Would be more helpful if you could clarify which size tablet would fit. Yours looks a mini iPad. Could you try with 9.7 inch To see if it fits the brackets ?
Thanks for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed the clip. I have a few other tablets here that I'll try but it honestly looks like it was designed to perfectly fit an iPad mini. I'm not sure if this was a coincidence or intentional since it will be sold exclusively through Apple stores in a few weeks. Give me a few days and I'll try and get a clip up testing other tablets. Thanks again for the post and please sub the channel if you haven't had the chance. Rick
Great job Rick. Have a question on video: Mavic doing fine and when record a video and review on pad it comes out fine to view. Remove SD card and install for viewing on computer and video comes out horizontal to view that is not good to do. Save it to google and it comes out vertical to view. I see there is a portrait mode on the c1-c2 buttons and also on other control button. Does this effect video recording for viewing as which way is up or horizontal to view?
Thanks for the enlightened vid. What is the length of your Apple mini Ipad and version? Also I found that if you leave the mini cord plugged in on the side, even though it's not connected to anything, the bottom USB is nonfunctional. I'm now a believer (subscriber)!
Great Video, thanks a lot. One question though. When I was using the remote with an iPhone all the Time, and I changed a lot of settings via the phone. What happens if I now will use a tablet. Will I have to readjust all my settings again at the Go-app on my Tablet? Or will the drone keep the settings and they will be displayed at the tablet as on my phone??
Thanks Rick for another great video. Really enjoy the channel since recently getting into the hobby of droning. My question is, does the ipad have to have cell data subscribed on it to get the maps to work properly, or can you use the WiFi only? I see in many videos with phones linked up, it's recommended to turn off WiFi when flying your Mavic Pro. Thanks again for your very informative videos.
another great video Rick. I am deciding between the P4 and the Mavic I am not concerned about having a compact drone like the Mavic so taking size out of it in your opinion what do you think is the best option. From what I have seen the Mavic is more susceptible to the wind.
I'm waiting for my mavic pro to arrive and I'm wondering what the least expensive decent tablet 8" or less in width would be. I already have an iPad 2 so I would only get one for the mavic. Would a kindle fire work or does it need a certain operating system? I'll be using my iPhone 7 to start and see how that works. I look forward to watching your other mavic videos and also appreciate simple presentation and studio-look backdrop👍 Thanks.
Nice tutorial, thanks. I've viewed other videos that you've put out: concise, to the point, very well done and helpful. I'm an experienced droner with various Phantom models as well as Autel. Just picked up a Mavic, pretty impressive in such a small and compact drone and controller. I do have a question/issue for you: I tried to connect the controller USB to the new version iPad 9.7 inch and it won't link. Same if I try to connect the controller USB to an Android tablet.... and no link up. However, when using the micro USB on the side of the controller, I have connection with any Apple or Android device I try to pair up. What might the issue be when trying to use the controller USB to Apple/Android device and it will not connect or pair up? Thanks and Semper Fly.
Hey Rick many Thanks for all your great insights. As a new pilot they are helping me get a better understanding of my drone and how to get the maximum out of it. Speaking of maximum - after watching you speak of using the ipad mini 4 I'm hooked on that idea. However is there a value in getting the 128GB vs the 64GB version? Or does the mini 5 offer any advantages? I have no immediate other use for the ipad other than using it with my mavic pro 2, hence my wonder regarding storage capacity. Many Thanks and I look forward to your continued great video releases!
Great Review! Good to see a review of the DJI Mavic Pro from an engineer’s point of view. I have watched many reviews on the Mavic Pro and you’re the only person to show something different and Helpful. The info about the position & locking down of the antenna was interesting, but the iPad mounting was just brilliant (thanks for catching that). But it does bring up one question, “How comfortable is using the controller with the iPad mounted?”.
Thanks for posting and I'm glad you enjoyed the clip. With the iPad mounted it is a little "bottom heavy" but because it's so securely held up against the controller, it feels pretty natural. The other alternative of adding a bracket actually puts the tablet over top of the controller screen or further down below so I guess there isn't a perfect solution for this. I'm kind of hoping that DJI releases a optional controller for the Mavic that is still small but supports a larger phone/tablet natively. I hope you sub the channel so you don't miss anything. Rick
Wow thanks so much so the i pad you hooked up is the i pad mini is there to make the controller attach to an i pad pro 9.7 inch. Looks like you are the first to figure it our that it does work with an ipad mini.
You really make excellent video's. That's what I'm going to do use the iPad mini I have. I was going to get a iPhone but now I won't have to. My wife has a I phone and I have a android. Do they make a short lightning cable that has a 90* end. Have you heard any thing about the Fvp headset.cost and when it will be out
Excellent video, I only have one problem with your set up. If you have the iPad mini same height your forearms are over the screen or hands. I have big hands and it's even hard for me to keep my arms out of the way. If your try it's an awkward flying style. A stand clip frees up your vision and You can rest The underneath of your iPad on your for arms if you want Or utilise the stand(clip).
Thanks for posting and I'm glad you liked the clip. I was frustrated as well that the controller couldn't hold a tablet and am glad I was able to sort it out. Please be sure and sub the channel when you get a chance so you don't miss anything. Rick
Thanks for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed the clip. I couldn't find either of these in the manuals I have either and I promise you that there is a design engineer somewhere sitting at a desk, frustrated that the work they did wasn't included in the manual. It happens all the time and I'm just glad we found it. Be sure to sub the channel so you don't miss new updates. Rick
Great video and very helpful. Could you help me... I have just purchased a Mavic Pro Platinum Combo and could really use some help here. I have just upgraded my phone to a Samsung A51 and the DJIGo4 software seems fine. I haven't actually flown the Mavic yet (I am a seasoned RC and Whoop flyer and so that is not an issue) as I was intending to buy a DJI Smart controller. Then after I purchased the drone I discovered the Smart controller doesn't work with my model. So I then watched a guru on youtube who said that the iphone is rock solid as a controller (for obvious reasons) and that I would be better off having a dedicated iphone rather than a phone running loads of apps. I totally get that. So here is my current dilemma... my new Samsung A51 will probably be fine but I have noticed that when I run the DJIGo4 software there are a series of icons on the very left hand border. Because the screen display is edge to edge it is difficult to touch these as the controller phone mounting arms almost cover them when the phone is mounted. This doesn't seem to be a problem on the iphone as the screen starts inboard from the edge allowing you to touch the who program area. So I have figured I would buy a second hand unlocked iphone from eBay (I have seen and iphone 7 plus around £200) and dedicate it to the drone. Here's my main question??? Can you put me straight please... If I get an iphone dedicated to the controller and the Mavic Pro Platinum will I lose any functionality if I don't have a sim card in it? The reason I ask is because I don't want to pay for another phone contract. Also which would be the best iphone model to get?
As always excellent video! I do have one question if you can help me out? Is there any advantage to signal strength when using the USB on the bottom of the controller as opposed to the generic connection on the side of the controller to your tablet or smartphone? Thank you in advance. Joey
Great video great tip.Haven't got my Mavic (UK) yet I've got my deposit down but would really like to see a jpg before I buy, I know it wont be as good as the inspire I use but the the Mavic has the huge advantage of portability. I use the Inspire for inspecting buildings and need jpgs. I need to know how good the jpgs are, are you able to to supply a jpg, ideally of a building, I need to seen haw far you can zoom in before it pixelates. DJI have not managed to provide a jpg ? Thanks.
That’s amazing Rick, I’m a little late as I purchased the tablet stand and holder last week. Still good to know and have a alternative to the stand. Thanks for sharing such a brilliant find. I bet loads just like me didn’t know this. Well done.
Nice video, very complete and easy to follow. I have not had a DJI drone since P1 so Im excite to use the go app, can you do a video on the menu on the mavic, thank
Bob, thanks for the compliments on the clip and I'm working on 2 more clips. One for the controller menus and another for the DJI Go app so be sure to sub the channel so you don't miss any updates. Thanks, Rick
I think this is one of the great finds on a new product like this. Can you maybe round up some other small tablets and see how they work? Still waiting for my Mavic and this would be a great time to look into buying a good fitting tablet. Also will using a tablet without cellular service, be a bad idea (thinking of the map system) or any other cons?
Thanks for the post and I'm testing a few other tablets tomorrow. I can already tell you that the Nvidia won't fit but some of the smaller Samsung models work OK. You won't need cellular service for the phone/tablet just be sure it has GPS. If you're searching for a new tablet, the iPad mini 4 is a good choice. I use it myself and it works great. Here's a link to Amazon - amzn.to/2fbOoWv Be sure to sub the channel so you don't miss anything. Rick
Drone Valley Thanks so much for the reply. I will check the tablet out... and you bet that I'm subscribed, you have a keen view of drones. I like knowing the small things as much a the big ones. Keep up the great work!
Hi Rick, Would you happen to know if the DJI Mavic Pro controller would fit the Kindle Fire 5th Generation? I have an iphone 4 at the moment, which would only produce a very small video image. - Good videos by the way.
Fair enough. Just wondering if the Cloudlight app will work with the Mavic (as it does on my P3P) and, if not, is there another app (maybe Lichi) that will allow me to fly the Mavic (which I won't get till month's end) with my IPhone installed in VR goggles. Thanks, Fred
Hello Mr.Rick, is the micro USB on the side (or the regular USB on the bottom) «CHARGING» the device connected ? Thank you for this nice Mavic Controller presentation !
Thanks for the post! No the Mavic controller doesn't charge your phone/tablet like the Phantom controllers do. One trick I did discover though is that you can actually connect your device to the bottom USB connections and charge the controller through the microUSB on the side while you're using it. Thanks again for the comment and be sure to sub the channel. Rick
David, thanks so much for the comment and support. I love flying and I love tech so talking about this type of gear is fun for me. Stay tuned as I'll have a few more clips posting this week. Rick
Hi Rick Great... learned something new. IPad can be clipped into standard holder arms. Knew about usb cable but not clasping an iPad. Now... what we really need to know about is RF Safety. If the controller can transmit 4 miles and you are standing behind the same antennas. Assuming there is no tinfoil shield on the backside of the antennas. Then how is the 2.4Ghz frequency affecting your cells. This must compare to microwave oven leakage. There are many concerns on line & youtube regarding health problems with WiFi. & Bluetooth & Cellular RF. Should we assume that the FCC (govt.) guidelines will protect us. Not Likely :) Have you ever tested the RF output with a meter? Cheers Trevor in West Australia
Rick, you saved me a lot of headache again my friend. I got my Nvidia shield and was trying to connect it to my controller using the USB to micro USB with no success, I watched this video, and removed the micro USB from the charging port (which was not connect to anything on the other side) and it connected to the shield straight away. I have told you this in the past, but I truly appreciate the information you share with us. Thanks again bud. Merry Christmas.
Steve, glad I could help and it sounds like you got everything sorted out. I appreciate you posting that and please let me know if you have any other questions. Have a Merry Christmas!
You're right. This is the first I've seen this and I've looked at everything. I'm starting to think about what screen I'll use for when my Mavic turns up ... one day. This opens up those options.
Thank you great vids. (Subbed) I have watched 99% of Mavic pro videos and everyone with a phone attached to the controller looks lop sided like it doesn't belong/I thought what a crappy design - your iPad Mini attachment looked like it belonged though / your thoughts?
I've had some problems recently with the crystal sky monitor and disconnecting mid-flight. I look at the controller and wondered if I could fly it back home by simply referring to it. Yes, I know the RTH button and its saved me several times. However, just wondering how to navigate/fly using just the controller input.
I would like to know if you can have some sort of field monitor for friends to watch despite not being able to use both USB connectors as once. I saw you'll be able to use two googles with one drone, but a larger tablet for onlookers would be great. I have that with my Phantom2 while I use goggles, but the monitor is simply picking up the transmission independently of the goggles.
Great video and thanks for sharing! I have to say that the image & audio quality, along with the background & lighting in your video is outstanding. Very well done!
Hey Rick great information! I'm new owner and just starting out and tried downloading from App Store on my iPad mini and getting message that I cant download app due to incapability? Am I trying the wrong app or can you give me some insight to using the iPad instead of my phone?
what is the oldest ipad mini series that will work like this? I would buy a dedicated ipad for drone use, but I don't want to pay for a new mini. Thanks for the vid!
Great video, excellent presentation.Just one small thing worth mentioning: The USB port charges the device connected to it, hence consuming a lot of the power from the the RC.Thanks for this great video.Arik
Hi, I've got a question. I believe you can turn the camera around by touching the phone/tablet screen. With a longer usb cable could you have dual operator mode, ie 1 person flying the drone with the controller while someone else turns the camera?. Thanks.
As always a great vid! I am impressed by the your presentation. No disturbing music in the background, no flashy change of camera angles, no text bouncing in and out in the video, just plain and simple with a calm background and very good sound quality.

I totally agree with Lars. Great and serious production and very informative. And also very honest. Very few achieve this kind of youtube videos these days. Good job Rick.
Lars-Göran Nordh does the s2 fits i really want to know that thanks!
This guy is a crazy gold talker/presenter. You can tell he isn't talking from a script. It's a non stop, uncut take. Very well done, cheers mate! Very useful for when I finally receive my Mavic!
Glad you enjoyed the clip and I like to do a lot of research and thinking about a topic before putting a clip together so it kind of flows naturally. I do appreciate the compliments and hope you sub the channel so you don't miss any new ones I post.
I cannot believe that I have been looking at this controller every day and have never realized that this was possible. Thank you!
I've been floating around TH-cam watching drone channels and videos for a about a year and a half now. Your channel, is BY FAR, the most informative one I've seen. Just wanted to say thanks for the education. Wish I had discovered it prior to pre-ordering a Lily :( . Live and learn.
Hey wanted to thank you for this vid. Got my Mavic last week. Hated taking off my cover on my iPhone 6 plus every time I wanted to use it in the controller.

I just see that Lars just said this, but I must restate it. FINALLY a drone video that’s not some 20 or 30 something shouting in the camera and blaring loud and obnoxious music during the whole video! Thanks so much as you have done a PROFESSIONAL job unlike most the “other guys” who while they may be knowledgeable, have ZERO understanding on how to communicate in this media. One would think it would be obvious to them but evidently it’s not so clear. But it’s painfully clear to me and others as the comments below indicate. Good on you sir for doing a great job!
Genius. After we saw you place the iPad mini on the controller my son said, man Rick is smart. Can't wait to see you first flight.
I've been watching this for 4 mins and I just noticed its a green screen.
I have to congratulate you with a nice job on that!
I really like your presentations. They're always so clearly audible, straight forward, and informational. I'm not sure if Mavmount was even in business when this video came out, but I just bought one, and I love it. Of course the nice anodized aluminum plate slides into the clamps and the rotating mount holds the clip that holds your tablet. I really didn't know about that little trick you found out about putting the corners of your tablet in to the clamps. That's slick. The only problem for me is that my tablet is too big for that use, so I really did need something like the Mavmount. Thanks again for a great presentation. Marc Trainor.
Many obligatory (to some of us) questions competently answered. Thank you, Drone Valley. You've made another subscriber.
Rick loved the video, Can you utilize the bracket with an Android tablet. I need the larger screen to help with the over 50 eyes.
Great video Sir, I really liked that you showed the tablet connection with the control. How does it feel to work with the control while having the tablet connected? It looks that the hands will feel a little awkward.
Very informative video Rick. I was speculating that the regular USB on the bottom may be utilized to transmit the image to the headset, however if the micro USB takes priority, that may indicate that the headset will use wireless technology to transmit the image. Again, great video, thank you for taking the time to share it with us.
Steve Ball Yes they did say that the dji goggles connect wireless with the Mavic.
Thank you Ivo, that is excellent news.
JUST MADE MY DAY! Using tab mount for my Samsung Galaxy Tab a8. I def didn't think it fit till now . I can't wait to fly it this way. Awesome man
GOOD JOB!! You just answered most of my questions about the Mavic and a tablet. Thanks What size tablets do you think will fit in the controller?
The i pad mini II is the ideal tablet
Well...I have watched about 3,017 videos about the Mavic Pro in one form or another, and I've put it in my cart on Amazon three times....this video convinced me to "place my order"....so, please, take some of the blame!! The one thing (among many other secondary things you mentioned) that convinced me in this vid was the fact that I'll likely be able to use my Android 8" tablet...that really is an attraction to me. I'd be happy flying it with my phone, I'm sure, but the bigger the screen, the happier I'll be. Flying a Phantom 3 Standard at present, so this will be a healthy and fun upgrade. Thanks for the excellent stuff....subscribing!!
Perfect explanation, like the way you go into dept ! Besides I have never seen a curved table ;-)
I am wondering, if I could connect my laptop (win7) to the controller. Need to find out if I could run Android Apps on Win7.
Rick, Your clips are wonderful - many thanks. I am 75, and am a first-time flyer of drones (I just bought the Mavic Pro - one of the earliest to arrive in Australia - and loving every second. So thanks for the great tips and advice.
One question - do you need to turn off the wifi in the iPhone when using it in the controller, to avoid any possible radio interference? regards, Graham
Thank you Rick great video, I purchased the iPad Mini 4 and I utilize it with the DJI mavic Pro Controller I shut off the WiFi and put it in Airplane Mode to eliminate any interference that might be around. My question is, if I am using the intelligent flight modes like follow me or active track, do I need to be connected to Cellular or Wifi? In order for it to work? Thank you in advance and as always, I greatly appreciate all the hard work and dedication that you put into making these tutorial videos about this wonderful Hobby. Joey.
Very nicely presented video. Many thanks. One question I have, is: How can you run dual or additional displays to the one being used to fly the Mavic with? Chers. Hugh
Just a very well-built remote controller overall. I especially love that locking mechanism for the antennas to snap into place together. That solid click noise is reassuring that nothing is going to be damaged whilst it's in the shoulderbag during travel. I am a little concerned with the battery life of the remote. I've watched a few TH-cam videos of the remote in action and I've noticed that the battery percentage for the remote itself tends to drop rather quickly depending on which mobile it's connected to, as it charges the mobile's battery while it's connected via the sync cable. I think using the remote with a fully charged mobile or tablet will reduce the battery downtime. You can also use the powerbank to battery adaptor, that comes with the Fly More Combo bundle, to charge the remote with a low flight battery, which is a godsend.
On the Phantom 4 they introduced an HDMI output for the new Fat-shark Goggles. then made an upgrade for the phantom 3 to use HDMI. I know DJI has an FPV goggle coming, but its the size of a football helmet, defeats the "Portability". Do you know if there is a way to connect one of those USB out to a Fatshark ? Adapter ?
What Tony said!!?
I very much doubt it, which for me is a show stopper. I have two different FPV goggles that have an HDMI input, and I will always either pilot my P3P with them, or offer them to a passenger for a much more immersive experience. For some reason DJI went out of their way to not add an HDMI output to the Mavic Pro which is extremely annoying. I use a nVidia shield tablet though, which has its own HDMI output, so if it fits in the arms as shown in this video, then there's a workaround, but it adds a little bit more latency. It does look like the ergonomics (hands on the controls) with the tablet attached will be somewhat awkward.
Ya, its about a show stopper for me also. I want that range, but i dont want to look at a tablet or phone doing it...
Do you think the 8.9 ipad pro will fit in control? Thanks great video.
No way! It looks like the Nexus7 is the largest tablet that will fit.
Hi Rick,
Just got my Mavic yesterday. One thing that is hard to find info on is changing from mode 2 to mode 1.
Eventually find out it's on the app. Having problems getting my iPhone to work with controller thought.
Can you show a vid on this setup? Btw, excellent straight to the point presentation!
Really impressed by your attention to such tiny design details. Must be a joy to discover hidden features on such a beloved product. Cheers and have a great day.
Thanks for stopping by and commenting. I really enjoy flying and spend a lot time exploring the tech I use. It was nice to uncover these features and I have another clip posting this week for the quad that is similar to this one so be sure to sub the channel so you don't miss it. Rick
Thanks. Looking forward to it.
"Really impressed by your attention to such tiny design details." -- Ditto that. I tried to insert my iPad Mini 4 but gave up after a user reported that inserting and removing his wore out a portion of the RC.
P.S. But after viewing Drone Valley's technique, I'm a very happy camper.
Excellent informative video, question, are you aware of a cable that drops 90 degrees straight down from side of tablet and is a short cable? I would love to see a range test of the new occusync transmission max distance.
Thank you for pointing out the tablet mount! That's a major relief. Do you have a sense for the max tablet dimension that would not over-stress the mount opening? (My tablet is 7 mm wider than your iPad Mini 4.)
Hello there, I know you spoke of rain in your area so flying was limited. My question is, how is the handling of the Mavic in light rain conditions? I would have included snow,,,, but we haven't got that yet. Also great video.
Hello Rick, you are the best, it is a pleasure to hear your thoughts and opinions, thank you very much.
I am still not sure if I can connect an external display or goggles using the USB port wile having a phone connected in the other port.
I understood that one output takes priority over the other but can I connect it to an external display simultaneously? In my P3 I have the HDMI board installed for extra HDMI output.
It would be sad to be obligated to purchase a DJI wireless googles and not be able to use the one I have. Thank you!
Really excellent, informative videos. Haven't received my Mavic yet.....great to hear that IPad mini fits and there's standard USB connection at bottom of controller. If I want to fly FPV with IPhone in VR goggles, will Cloudlight App work? If not, is there another app that will work. If you know, please advise. Many thanks, Fred
Thanks for showing how to to link an iPad mini to the controller. Great news! to me that's far better than using a smart phone. purely for been able to get a better view. been told there is quite a drain on the smartphones while linked to the controller, do you have any input on that?
First video from this channel I've seen, subscribed halfway through it! Great info and commentary.
I'm glad you got yours, I can't wait to get mine! I ordered mine through Best Buy on October 17 and they have delayed our delivery to November 30 so I'll be watching your videos up until then, keep up the good work!!
Thanks and I hope it arrives early for you. I'll be posting a lot of clips this week with the Mavic so please let me know if you have any questions or want me to test anything. Thanks and be sure to sub the channel. Rick
Hi, great overeview of the controller. When mentioning the third connector in the centre of the controller, the one you connected your mini ipad. I prefer flying with goggles Im sure you should be able to connect a non Mavic goggles using this method. Your thoughts. thanks again.
Great vid, got one on order. I'm concerned about screen glare and brightness outside with phone or tablet. Coated screen? Shades? How has it worked for you?
Hi, thanks for your detailed reviews. I just want to ask the user experience between using it with and without tablet holder. Thanks
This was an excellent video. Thank you so much. One question: Would an iPad Mini 2 work for this application or do I need an iPad 4?
Interesting find! It seems strange that DJI didn't mention this if that is truly why the controller is designed that way.
Certainly finding value in each one of your videos Rick. Found your channel last week and subscribed. Every video I've watched of yours is very informative, easy to watch and understand. Also quite interesting. Well done sir, keep up the great work!
Good to see a review and analysis from an intelligent person. Keep it up!
Thank s a lot for the support. I'm glad you enjoyed the clip and be sure to sub the channel so you don't miss any updates I'll be posting. Rick
Hi , what size is your tablet, 7" ? Need to know for using an android tablet and I know apple doesn't use standard sizes......
thanks for the valuable info, i trust your reviews above all others. i use a tablet (Ipad mini4) exclusively with my Mavic Air, fits perfectly in the controller and the screen size is perfect. i have yet to have Any issues with connectivity or convenience. one question i have is, is the dji app compatable with the new samsung S9 or Iphone 8plus? your advice is welcomed and trusted, thank you bunches, from a new drone enthusiast in Columbus,Ohio
Very useful video and a relief to those who like to have a bigger screen. Would be more helpful if you could clarify which size tablet would fit. Yours looks a mini iPad. Could you try with 9.7 inch To see if it fits the brackets ?
Thanks for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed the clip. I have a few other tablets here that I'll try but it honestly looks like it was designed to perfectly fit an iPad mini. I'm not sure if this was a coincidence or intentional since it will be sold exclusively through Apple stores in a few weeks. Give me a few days and I'll try and get a clip up testing other tablets. Thanks again for the post and please sub the channel if you haven't had the chance. Rick
Great job Rick. Have a question on video: Mavic doing fine and when record a video and review on pad it comes out fine to view. Remove SD card and install for viewing on computer and video comes out horizontal to view that is not good to do. Save it to google and it comes out vertical to view. I see there is a portrait mode on the c1-c2 buttons and also on other control button. Does this effect video recording for viewing as which way is up or horizontal to view?
Thanks for the enlightened vid. What is the length of your Apple mini Ipad and version? Also I found that if you leave the mini cord plugged in on the side, even though it's not connected to anything, the bottom USB is nonfunctional.
I'm now a believer (subscriber)!
Great idea! What's the maximum size of tablet that would fit the controller in this way?
Great video Rick
I am going to be a first time owner of a drone. Do I have to calibrate the Mavic drone every time I fly it?
Great Video, thanks a lot. One question though. When I was using the remote with an iPhone all the Time, and I changed a lot of settings via the phone. What happens if I now will use a tablet. Will I have to readjust all my settings again at the Go-app on my Tablet? Or will the drone keep the settings and they will be displayed at the tablet as on my phone??
Thanks Rick for another great video. Really enjoy the channel since recently getting into the hobby of droning. My question is, does the ipad have to have cell data subscribed on it to get the maps to work properly, or can you use the WiFi only? I see in many videos with phones linked up, it's recommended to turn off WiFi when flying your Mavic Pro. Thanks again for your very informative videos.
another great video Rick. I am deciding between the P4 and the Mavic I am not concerned about having a compact drone like the Mavic so taking size out of it in your opinion what do you think is the best option. From what I have seen the Mavic is more susceptible to the wind.
Awesome. So glad the tablet works with the Mavic.
Thanks
Sandy
Great video. Can you please try it out with a Samsung Tab 7 & 8. I'd like to see how they fit before I buy one. Thanks
I'm waiting for my mavic pro to arrive and I'm wondering what the least expensive decent tablet 8" or less in width would be. I already have an iPad 2 so I would only get one for the mavic. Would a kindle fire work or does it need a certain operating system? I'll be using my iPhone 7 to start and see how that works. I look forward to watching your other mavic videos and also appreciate simple presentation and studio-look backdrop👍 Thanks.
Great Job. I'm an old guy and I use my tablet for my Phantom 3. That is so awesome you figured it out
Great video.. I will buy a drone in New York in April. Im from Denmark, so winter is coming and bad weather for drone flying.
Nice tutorial, thanks. I've viewed other videos that you've put out: concise, to the point, very well done and helpful. I'm an experienced droner with various Phantom models as well as Autel. Just picked up a Mavic, pretty impressive in such a small and compact drone and controller. I do have a question/issue for you: I tried to connect the controller USB to the new version iPad 9.7 inch and it won't link. Same if I try to connect the controller USB to an Android tablet.... and no link up. However, when using the micro USB on the side of the controller, I have connection with any Apple or Android device I try to pair up. What might the issue be when trying to use the controller USB to Apple/Android device and it will not connect or pair up? Thanks and Semper Fly.
Great video as always! Since you have a NVIDIA 8" I think?, does it work the same way or do you need an extra holder?
Excellent video. Can't wait to get mine
Hey Rick many Thanks for all your great insights. As a new pilot they are helping me get a better understanding of my drone and how to get the maximum out of it. Speaking of maximum - after watching you speak of using the ipad mini 4 I'm hooked on that idea. However is there a value in getting the 128GB vs the 64GB version? Or does the mini 5 offer any advantages? I have no immediate other use for the ipad other than using it with my mavic pro 2, hence my wonder regarding storage capacity. Many Thanks and I look forward to your continued great video releases!
Great Review! Good to see a review of the DJI Mavic Pro from an engineer’s point of view. I have watched many reviews on the Mavic Pro and you’re the only person to show something different and Helpful. The info about the position & locking down of the antenna was interesting, but the iPad mounting was just brilliant (thanks for catching that). But it does bring up one question, “How comfortable is using the controller with the iPad mounted?”.
Thanks for posting and I'm glad you enjoyed the clip. With the iPad mounted it is a little "bottom heavy" but because it's so securely held up against the controller, it feels pretty natural. The other alternative of adding a bracket actually puts the tablet over top of the controller screen or further down below so I guess there isn't a perfect solution for this. I'm kind of hoping that DJI releases a optional controller for the Mavic that is still small but supports a larger phone/tablet natively. I hope you sub the channel so you don't miss anything. Rick
Wow thanks so much so the i pad you hooked up is the i pad mini is there to make the controller attach to an i pad pro 9.7 inch. Looks like you are the first to figure it our that it does work with an ipad mini.
You really make excellent video's. That's what I'm going to do use the iPad mini I have. I was going to get a iPhone but now I won't have to. My wife has a I phone and I have a android. Do they make a short lightning cable that has a 90* end. Have you heard any thing about the Fvp headset.cost and when it will be out
Excellent video, I only have one problem with your set up.
If you have the iPad mini same height your forearms are over the screen or hands.
I have big hands and it's even hard for me to keep my arms out of the way.
If your try it's an awkward flying style. A stand clip frees up your vision and
You can rest The underneath of your iPad on your for arms if you want
Or utilise the stand(clip).
i am so glad you came out with this video because it was driving me crazy to use my tablet on the mavic keep it coming
Thanks for posting and I'm glad you liked the clip. I was frustrated as well that the controller couldn't hold a tablet and am glad I was able to sort it out. Please be sure and sub the channel when you get a chance so you don't miss anything. Rick
Very helpful information thank you! The locking tab for the antenna is not in the manuals I have had access to.
Thanks for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed the clip. I couldn't find either of these in the manuals I have either and I promise you that there is a design engineer somewhere sitting at a desk, frustrated that the work they did wasn't included in the manual. It happens all the time and I'm just glad we found it. Be sure to sub the channel so you don't miss new updates. Rick
Great video and very helpful. Could you help me... I have just purchased a Mavic Pro Platinum Combo and could really use some help here. I have just upgraded my phone to a Samsung A51 and the DJIGo4 software seems fine. I haven't actually flown the Mavic yet (I am a seasoned RC and Whoop flyer and so that is not an issue) as I was intending to buy a DJI Smart controller. Then after I purchased the drone I discovered the Smart controller doesn't work with my model.
So I then watched a guru on youtube who said that the iphone is rock solid as a controller (for obvious reasons) and that I would be better off having a dedicated iphone rather than a phone running loads of apps. I totally get that.
So here is my current dilemma... my new Samsung A51 will probably be fine but I have noticed that when I run the DJIGo4 software there are a series of icons on the very left hand border. Because the screen display is edge to edge it is difficult to touch these as the controller phone mounting arms almost cover them when the phone is mounted.
This doesn't seem to be a problem on the iphone as the screen starts inboard from the edge allowing you to touch the who program area.
So I have figured I would buy a second hand unlocked iphone from eBay (I have seen and iphone 7 plus around £200) and dedicate it to the drone.
Here's my main question???
Can you put me straight please... If I get an iphone dedicated to the controller and the Mavic Pro Platinum will I lose any functionality if I don't have a sim card in it? The reason I ask is because I don't want to pay for another phone contract.
Also which would be the best iphone model to get?
awesome vid. probably the best one out there. very helpful... where in NJ?
Nice video! How do you handle the sun while using the tablet? I use a sun shade and still have a tough time seeing.
As always excellent video! I do have one question if you can help me out? Is there any advantage to signal strength when using the USB on the bottom of the controller as opposed to the generic connection on the side of the controller to your tablet or smartphone? Thank you in advance. Joey
Great video great tip.Haven't got my Mavic (UK) yet I've got my deposit down but would really like to see a jpg before I buy, I know it wont be as good as the inspire I use but the the Mavic has the huge advantage of portability. I use the Inspire for inspecting buildings and need jpgs. I need to know how good the jpgs are, are you able to to supply a jpg, ideally of a building, I need to seen haw far you can zoom in before it pixelates. DJI have not managed to provide a jpg ? Thanks.
That’s amazing Rick, I’m a little late as I purchased the tablet stand and holder last week. Still good to know and have a alternative to the stand. Thanks for sharing such a brilliant find. I bet loads just like me didn’t know this. Well done.
Here's a question I haven't seen answered in the Mavic pro videos so far: Can you do pre programmed flight paths with the Mavic?
Nice video, very complete and easy to follow. I have not had a DJI drone since P1 so Im excite to use the go app, can you do a video on the menu on the mavic, thank
Bob, thanks for the compliments on the clip and I'm working on 2 more clips. One for the controller menus and another for the DJI Go app so be sure to sub the channel so you don't miss any updates. Thanks, Rick
Great to the point video! Do you know of a cable that'll hook up a android phone to a external battery pack with the RC? Thanks!
very informative video buddy..this just made me want to purchase the Mavic...Do you have any input on FPV Goggles?
I think this is one of the great finds on a new product like this. Can you maybe round up some other small tablets and see how they work? Still waiting for my Mavic and this would be a great time to look into buying a good fitting tablet. Also will using a tablet without cellular service, be a bad idea (thinking of the map system) or any other cons?
Thanks for the post and I'm testing a few other tablets tomorrow. I can already tell you that the Nvidia won't fit but some of the smaller Samsung models work OK. You won't need cellular service for the phone/tablet just be sure it has GPS. If you're searching for a new tablet, the iPad mini 4 is a good choice. I use it myself and it works great. Here's a link to Amazon - amzn.to/2fbOoWv
Be sure to sub the channel so you don't miss anything. Rick
Drone Valley Thanks so much for the reply. I will check the tablet out... and you bet that I'm subscribed, you have a keen view of drones. I like knowing the small things as much a the big ones. Keep up the great work!
I'm curious if the HTC One would fit in there. The specs on the website said no, but it looks like there's more to play in there.
Finally!!! Someone that knows their stuff about transmitters.
What a fantastic video Rick, I like your presentation, makes me want to buy the Mavic even more now. Keep up the great work !!!
Hey Rick. Great channel. I m a newbie to Mavic. Can I use iPad mini 4 wifi version with the Mavic? I want to save $ on the iPad. Thanks.
awesome video, great to have an engineer helping out with all the possibilities of the mavic👍great video as always
Hi Rick,
Would you happen to know if the DJI Mavic Pro controller would fit the Kindle Fire 5th Generation? I have an iphone 4 at the moment, which would only produce a very small video image. - Good videos by the way.
Fair enough. Just wondering if the Cloudlight app will work with the Mavic (as it does on my P3P) and, if not, is there another app (maybe Lichi) that will allow me to fly the Mavic (which I won't get till month's end) with my IPhone installed in VR goggles. Thanks, Fred
Hello Mr.Rick, is the micro USB on the side (or the regular USB on the bottom) «CHARGING» the device connected ? Thank you for this nice Mavic Controller presentation !
Thanks for the post! No the Mavic controller doesn't charge your phone/tablet like the Phantom controllers do. One trick I did discover though is that you can actually connect your device to the bottom USB connections and charge the controller through the microUSB on the side while you're using it. Thanks again for the comment and be sure to sub the channel. Rick
Incredibly informative. Answered several of my questions. Love his analytical ability!
David, thanks so much for the comment and support. I love flying and I love tech so talking about this type of gear is fun for me. Stay tuned as I'll have a few more clips posting this week. Rick
Hi Rick
Great... learned something new.
IPad can be clipped into standard holder arms. Knew about usb cable but not clasping an iPad.
Now... what we really need to know about is RF Safety. If the controller can transmit 4 miles and you are standing behind the same antennas. Assuming there is no tinfoil shield on the backside of the antennas. Then how is the 2.4Ghz frequency affecting your cells. This must compare to microwave oven leakage. There are many concerns on line & youtube regarding health problems with WiFi. & Bluetooth & Cellular RF. Should we assume that the FCC (govt.) guidelines will protect us. Not Likely :)
Have you ever tested the RF output with a meter?
Cheers
Trevor in West Australia
Rick, you saved me a lot of headache again my friend. I got my Nvidia shield and was trying to connect it to my controller using the USB to micro USB with no success, I watched this video, and removed the micro USB from the charging port (which was not connect to anything on the other side) and it connected to the shield straight away. I have told you this in the past, but I truly appreciate the information you share with us. Thanks again bud. Merry Christmas.
Steve, glad I could help and it sounds like you got everything sorted out. I appreciate you posting that and please let me know if you have any other questions. Have a Merry Christmas!
You're right. This is the first I've seen this and I've looked at everything. I'm starting to think about what screen I'll use for when my Mavic turns up ... one day. This opens up those options.
Thank you great vids. (Subbed) I have watched 99% of Mavic pro videos and everyone with a phone attached to the controller looks lop sided like it doesn't belong/I thought what a crappy design - your iPad Mini attachment looked like it belonged though / your thoughts?
This is fantastic! I didn't realize that you could put the tablet it like that. I wish that my old Ipad could run the DJI app now.
Thank god, someone has addressed proper antenna positioning! I wasn't sure, but thank you for your super informative video! Subbed!
As an engineer myself this is an awesome problem solving video. Excellent solution.
I've had some problems recently with the crystal sky monitor and disconnecting mid-flight. I look at the controller and wondered if I could fly it back home by simply referring to it. Yes, I know the RTH button and its saved me several times. However, just wondering how to navigate/fly using just the controller input.
I would like to know if you can have some sort of field monitor for friends to watch despite not being able to use both USB connectors as once. I saw you'll be able to use two googles with one drone, but a larger tablet for onlookers would be great. I have that with my Phantom2 while I use goggles, but the monitor is simply picking up the transmission independently of the goggles.
Super explanation on the iPad mini. And very nice wall behind you 👍🏻
Great video and thanks for sharing!
I have to say that the image & audio quality, along with the background & lighting in your video is outstanding. Very well done!
Hey Rick great information! I'm new owner and just starting out and tried downloading from App Store on my iPad mini and getting message that I cant download app due to incapability? Am I trying the wrong app or can you give me some insight to using the iPad instead of my phone?
what is the oldest ipad mini series that will work like this? I would buy a dedicated ipad for drone use, but I don't want to pay for a new mini. Thanks for the vid!
Great video, excellent presentation.Just one small thing worth mentioning: The USB port charges the device connected to it, hence consuming a lot of the power from the the RC.Thanks for this great video.Arik
Hi, I've got a question. I believe you can turn the camera around by touching the phone/tablet screen. With a longer usb cable could you have dual operator mode, ie 1 person flying the drone with the controller while someone else turns the camera?. Thanks.
