In this video, I reveal 2 secrets that DJI didn't tell anyone when they released the Mavic 2 Pro and DJI Mavic 2 Zoom. These are features that everyone needs to know when buying and using the Mavic 2 drones. The 1.4x crop factor I mentioned equates to about 39.2mm. The downsampling to 4K is on the Full FOV, just for clarification. And according to DJI, both HQ and Full FOV use 10-bit color.

Is there anyway you can hook up an oculus quest to the Mavic 2 pro?
Does the digital cropping in the second also magnify still photos?
the camera panning actually works but the back left remote button does not recenter the gymbal on mine...Do you have a special setting on your remote?....There are the C buttons but there is no setting that recenter ONLY the camera without aiming totally down first before recentering...YOU cannot use this while filming obviously unless you want to shoot your feet...how did you get this setting to directly recenter?
Hey man thanks as always. But at min 4:10 you mention fov is higher quality. Everywhere else I’m seeing online says HQ is higher quality. Just mentioning. But like you said, they’re both amazing.
Thanks Brett I appreciate the research! I will then. Love your videos!
Hi my name is Roger ,
I have a DJI Mavric 2 Pro with a smart controller , which is missing Camera video coding and Video Size/Video Format menus found under the orange record button on the home screen.
Do I need to change any settings for this to appear.
Can someone please assist
Regards Roger
Just do any cropping you want in post off the FOV version, if you're shooting at 4k then just set up a 1080 sequence in Premiere and you have tons of latitude for cropping and stretching
can you use remote control or at least assign customize button to pan camera left or right?
Cool mate thanks!
Hi I can't the button on the back of controller c1 or c2 to make the sensor to go back to the middle/center after using the screen to move the sensor, any idea on how to make this work cheers
Thx, helped alot better than rotating the drone, however, you mention that the 'C1' button on the bottom will return the gimble to straight forward but I thought 'C1' was a customized button that has to be programmed thru settings. Clarify please.
Sweet😀😀👏 have you ever experience the black screen issue??? And do you know how to factory reset these mavic 2. Unlike the mavic pro. It doesn't offer you the factory reset option. Please if you can. Hope you would help. 👏👏👍👍👍
Hey Brett in the drop-down menu which one do I select thanks
hi there! such a nice info, is any hints as I can't make it at iPhone 7Plus but iPad worked!
Thanks Brett, (1) All the firmware of the drone, iPhone suppose 2b update, (2) yes, same cable, (3) I use the USB port on the controller....dun know y its dosent work for my iPhone....
Anyway, really thanks for your reply...
Just got my pro 2 today
Hi please send me a link on how to change to 56 ml on the mav 2 ie how to zoom the mav 2
"Skip the intro"; cool. "What's going on, guys?", NOT so much! Good video.
I don't have a lot of drones or the expensive controllers. I'm Working on it. TY very informative, Thumbs up well done
How can I tell when my Mavic 2 pro battery is fully charged ?
Serious question. Why would you need to move the camera horizontally as opposed to just rotating the drone?
The panning worked as described but when hitting the C1 button to return to horizontal, the camera goes to 90 degrees down.
Then I have to press the C1 again for the camera to go horizontal. Did I miss something?
In your menu you can program your c1 and C2 buttons to do what you want them to do.
How are your sales? Nice video, thanks!
Hi can you make a video about dolly zoom with the mavic pro 2. It it has zoom then are able to shoot with the hasalblade in mavic 2 or not? thanks
Well it active track someone with the camera facing 90deg?
I´m a little bit sad about my last fligth with the zoom. Im not quick enough to get home before the rain comes. 40 sec rain flight. Can i be sure about the safety of my drone? I have dried the drone outside. After that it run 40 minutes without flying just to keep the ventilator running. It all works well. Are there any experiences? Do i have to check it by DJI? Don´t know. Thank you.
Yes i have the Care
Yes no Problem
My mavic 1 pro can digitally zoom up to 2x by pushing the 5D button on the controller left and right... Do you know of there is any difference between that and what you described?
I suggest u make some photos or video to explain the difference of HQ mode and VOP mode. btw thanks at all.
excellent presentation. we all learned something, thank you
Dji Mavic 2 Pro and Dji Mavic 2 Zoom secrets is awesome! Wonderful
You recommend me to buy the 128g and I did bought it but does the drone handle up with that I saw another video that it says the 64g is the right one or 😐
Brett Garamella oh ok and if you fly out of your house like going far do you need WiFi or data to use it or no
Thanks so much... This is my first drone (mavic 2 pro) and I am so happy you posted this. I can't wait to see more of your tutorials.
Thanks for the videos.
My question is will I have problems using a galaxy tab s4 with the drones or did I need an ipad?
Thanks
@@brettgaramella thank you very much
Thanks for video. On the original mavic you can zoom by squeezing the screen out and back in. Can you do that with the 2 pro?
Where do I get the long cable from ?
Thinking of selling my pro. I just want to know if the 2 and 1 use the same battery. Thanks
I don't use 4k so how can you zoom then? I tend to stick around 1080 or 1440ish.
So is the zoom on the pro optical? It seems like it which is awesome
Hi Brett, this is increadle information. Congratulations and thanks for sharing. Do you know how much weight can 2 Pro lift? I want a drone for fishing. Regards, Paul
Is this only for iPad or phone too
so you have 48 mm max focal length on the zoom and 39,2mm on the pro? what about the quality? could you show a 100% crop or 1000% crop on both drones with max "zoom"?
You an increase the zoom on a mavic 2zoom from a48 mm to 96 mm only on video mode
It would be nice if Litchi could allow you to pre-program gimbal movements like they do on the Osmo.
Hi, I just got my mavic 2 zoom delivered today and after all updates I cant workout how to activate that camera pan feature from your video.
Helllpppp!!!!!
Cropped means uses middle section of the sensor and then upscale it. Hence the zoom.
can you recommend a drone for those of us who dont own a smart phone or a "pad/tablet"?...I want to get into drones, but I dont want or need a smart phone or a pad/tablet....
Or you can get the DJI crystal sky monitor.. (It is a tablet with additional real buttons and 2 card slots - it uses batteries from the Cendence controller.) NB. Not cheap, but still less than a new iphone.
Wouldn’t it be safer to remove the propellers when you’ve got the aircraft powered on inside?
OK Brett, 2 questions, 1) I never thought about the zoom because it could zoom I guess. I'm thinking of the over all quality of the video because I'm going to take it to my editor to zoom and pan as needed. Am I missing something. You always loose something on a digital zoom so unless it is an optical zoom where you are filling the sensor without loosing pixels. 2) I asked you a question in another video that I had not received a response yet but I was thinking about waiting for the Mavic 3 or not. I'm also deciding my best controller. Phone, pad, glasses, goggles or their high end controller. I've had issues with my phone plug staying connected so that makes me nervous. Any suggestions? I also have a laptop with wifi.
Great video! Seems like I can only pan the camera with the blue button when the drone is not flying! Have you tried panning in the air?
Brett Garamella Yes Brett everything else works normal! When I press the iPad mini screen it focuses the camera no blue dot. Any thoughts? Thanks again bro 👍🏼
I tried that but no luck! Hmmmm :-(
Brett, Good news bro :-) Reinstalled DJI GO4 and I am good to go! Woo-Hoo Thanks again dude!
Not only does C1 not do what it did in this video, but when I went to settings none of the options available does that. O_o
thank's for heads up, still decided what drone buy. 4 of my top five, actualy my top 4 are dji, 5 is bebop2 but only cause of skycontroller black, dji should have put hdmi on mavic's and spark.
but as old school film photographer i should tell you FOV is not FULL OV, It is Fiel Of View or you viewing angle, hence 28mm and 40mm 28mm being wide angle, and 35-50 being human eye frontal view depending on person.
Question: On the Pro, can you adjust the speed in tripod mode like you can on the Inspire 2 or no?
Gotcha, thanks
If the mavic 2 had full obstacle avoidance & waterproof it would be the ultimate drone
Thank u. Never knew. I luv my pro even more now.
Bro that was awesome!!! Just yesterday. "I was like, surly they can make the gimbal move from side to side".
Thanks brotha I'm super pumped.. I will try in the morning
Love my mavic zoom, trying to get make some good footage. Thanks for the tips
Check my channel dude! I use a zoom 👍🏻
Brilliant video..!!! I have subscribed and allowed all notifications.. :-) I have the Pro and last year did very little with it but this year, having bought the Smart Controller and some extra batteries, I intend to do a lot more... like learning to fly it properly and do my ACof2 and another course that I can`t remember... I know there is a lot negative comments about the SC but I, for one, wouldn`t be without, the freedom of not being chained to a mobile phone is brilliant..!!!
I appreciate that! Glad to have you here. You might also like my DJI drone training here: courses.thedronepilotpro.com/p/dji
you missed the biggest advantage of the 4K HQ - it's 10 bit instead of 8 bit. That's giving a lot more color information for advanced color grading. And also, it's the FOV that is downsampled to 4K. The HQ is 1:1 pixel mapping with no downsample, which is why it's cropped.
hi ! I have a question for you ... If i have a mobile phone without sim card is working ?
@@brettgaramella Thanks so much Brett for your answer but , now i fly my drone mavic 2 with my Iphone X and i would like to change my phone by an other phone i have Iphone 6 + and i can't ???
Oups ...but my Iphone 6 don't have a sim card ... ?
I know you've realised already, but just to be precise... HQ is not a digital zoom, but real 4K taken from the center of the sensor, about 39mm (not 56). Full FOV is about 5.4K downsized to 4K, hopefully without line skipping. If image processing is properly done, both formats are pretty good, although only HQ takes advantage of 10bit h265 if I'm not wrong.
@@brettgaramella Didn't know that. Thanks
does the pro have digital zoom??
@@brettgaramella : Great tip for young players.. Don't use Digital zoom in camera. (crop and interpolate in post.)
Only Use Digital Zoom where you can't avoid it, like for taking a phone pic to send via messenger etc.. (then the quality doesn't matter much - and is usually degraded anyhow.)
can i also do it with smart controller? or only applicable to those using the APP from their phones?
Nice tips. Thank you
Thanks for this video. It helped me in taking a choice of what Mavic 2 I will buy now.
Brett Garamella since I’m living in the Netherlands it’s better for me to use AliExpress. It’s the cheapest way for me. But thanks for all. In case I have questions I will ask you
The 4K HQ is the higher quality option. This likely has to do with the downsampling from the full width of the sensor using pixel binning.
The difference will probably show up first in areas with nearly horizontal lines, as either moire or flickering. Agree that it is in many cases subtle.
Just curious. How do you get Ready To Go on Gps when your drone indoor? Thank you
does the pro have this crop HQ zoomlike feature for photo too or is it just for video?
I have the mavic 2 pro and the c1 or c2 button does not return the camera back to home did you have to set up the buttons for that?
Yes you can set up the C1 and C2 buttons each to handle a different task from a list of options.
Good to know - Thanks Brett. I have the original Mavic Pro and the Mavic Air but I think I may have to invest in the Mavic 2 Pro. Butt-in? Haha. Thanks!
HQ is not downsampled. Its a 1:1 crop of the sensor. Therefore the quality is slightly better.
Brett Garamella yes, it’s very hard to spot a quality difference.
I got my pro a few days ago and didn't even know the gimbal could do the panning thing! Thanks for the info.
Brett Garamella Can you assign that gimbal movement to the right wheel?
Anyone know when they're going to release batteries for this drone
Hi, question
when moving the camera to the sides, when pressing the button C1 it does not return to its place of origin, as I configure it?
Juan M. The button is customizable so you can’t put it on that setting
Well done. Liked and subbed
tsym for pointing out the range shooting in the hasselblad one ty for real :)
I wish the 4 way toggle switch just left of the right stick could move the camera instead of using the touch screen.
How many?
This finger-panning trick is awesome makes spanning more smoother - especially with the Smart Controller.
Hello, i have m2pro and the rear push button do not reset my gimbal
@@brettgaramella hello, I tried you secret tip after moving the gimbal with my finger on my tablet, to reset the gimbal by pushing the C1 button. It does not work !
@@brettgaramella no, ok i will do it. Thank you
Would love to buy the maverick pro and smart controller,but shipping to Canada,with the exchange hurts the pocket,so I have to give up that dream
Do you think there is any chance DJI will announce a new camera you can switch to that has the hasselblad camera, with 1" sensor, AND zoom down the road?
yes, of course! I'm sure it's in the works, but then again, that'll probably be a whole new drone we have to buy to get that camera. really wish DJI would have made this new Mavic 2 so that we can easily swap out the camera on it.
Exactly, that would have been great!
Hola gracias viví en Cali Colombia.... thanks
Nice Video! I saw it on TH-cam! Am I right that you can costumize the button on the backsite ?
Good info..thanks
The 4K HQ isn't downsampled. It's a 1:1 pixel readout. The 4K Full FOV is downsampled from 5.2k to 4k. The pro is the way to go! If you additionally crop the 4K HQ footage 115% you get an equal focal length to the Zoom and equal or better quality.
Awesome! I'm guessing the HQ will be SLIGHTLY sharper, but will have a little worse low light performance. Still even after cropping the sensor it's still a bigger size than the one of the zoom.
Yeh, I think the Mavic 2 Pro is impressively close to the Inspire 2 considering the size and price difference.
Even with the zoom at full zoom? No chance
Hi Brett, great video! Is there a vertical camera setting on the photo mode with the Mavic 2? The Mavic pro had a vertical setting which was great for real estate photography while shooting buildings.
@@brettgaramella Photographing tall buildings for real estate was a must. Wish I'd known this before buying it....!
Secret no 1. What button on the dji smart controller returns the gimbal to front ?? I cant make it center on mine.
Thanks, i was looking for a way to move the gimbal sideways. Do you know if it's possible to configure customizable buttons in the controller to do this horizontal pan?
Good one for finding these features out. I don’t have a Mavic yet, but I would of thought that the ability to move the camera would be fundamentally a feature of the remote - or maybe I’m thinking of an Inspire with dual controllers?
Dji mavic 2 secrets is awesome 💕👑
I do believe that the cropped in setting has the higher quality. Google it.
Actually it states the gimbal pan on website, as well as with goggles can do it after new firmware released today
Good job though
Great info!
Great tips Brett! Just got a Mavic 2 Pro myself and am glad I did after months of debating which one to get. Thanks for posting this. Looking forward to more. Subscribed!
I have been debating which one to buy btw zoom and magic 2pro too.so u think the magic 2 pro is better?
Great tips, thanks for sharing. The panning gimball feature is awesome.
how do you center it after you pan?
The belly button 0:32
From what I understand, the Pro in HQ mode only crops the captured image giving you a different framing. It is not a mechanical zoom and does not change the depth of field. On the other hand, the zoom ratio on the Zoom, in my opinion, does not justify it’s lower megapixel resolution. You can do creative zooming and “Ken Burns” effects in post processing of a high resolution
Pro image.
Brett Garamella Good points. BTW ... in good light, where the subject is not too close to the lens, I couldn’t differentiate my Mavic Air footage from my P4P on small computer 27” screens. Here’s my video that is mostly done with an Air. vimeo.com/280662563
Regarding the Pro’s version... DJI did release this information. They Full FOV setting is the downsampled 5.x video crushed into a UHD resolution. The HQ setting is utilizing full pixel readout. (No binning). It’s also not a Hasselblad camera. It’s a Sony sensor DJI glass leveraging Hasselblad’s 10bit color science.
Aloha
DJI can call it Hasselblad... even though it is the same sensor as the Sony RX100 Mark 5 as all Hasselblad sensors are from Sony... AND... Sony bought Hasselblad outright about 2 years back. The lenses for my Inspire 2 are made by Fuji actually...
You can use this settings *DroneUsers. club*
@@drewarmstrong4325 : Check the details, DJI Directly own a large stake in Hasselblad.
Ventizz (Private Equity Co.) used to own 100% of it.
(Hasselblad: Colab with Sony since 2012)
(Not sure who made my I2 Kit Lens, I thought it was a Panasonic?? - my Zoom Lens is a Panasonic Pancake Lens.)
thanks !
Any chance we can enjoy a test run by darkest light?
Pushing both to their limits, so we can decide whether the 1" is really worth it by darkest conditions?
Keep on!
You're a chief!
thanks for your considerating of that.
Here (France), regulation is incredibly "strict" (or ...mad?), i.e: no way you are allowed to fly whatever model at night -there is a precise delay after official sunset time, when you should be grounded.
Amongst many other restrictions...
So I'll be soo grateful for such a video (as all others).
Enjoy you flights!
how much
