Take a look at this high brightness 1000 nit tablet seems to be the perfect companion to fly the Mavic Air 2 www.tripltek.com . I will love to see a review of this tablet.
That’s the best explanation of choosing ND filters and what the f.stop actually is I’ve heard. Thanks.
The content developer is the top reason I started watching your videos because you have invoked my trust with your knowledge and integrity you exhibit in every one. It's not difficult to see you're passionate about drones and sharing your knowledge and experience with your viewers. I commend you for not following the same trails others do in your business.
So truly appreciate you taking the time to share this information with us.
Probably one of the best clips I've seen on exposure and ND filters! Thanks!
Another great video. Just got my MA2 and this info ready helped. Thanks 👍
Lots of great knowledge here. Picked up a Mavic Air 2 today and your videos have been the most informative without the fluff. Great to learn from someone who is so interested in the topic at hand.
Loving the bloopers at the end! Great video as always 👍
Hello Russ, Im from that itty bitty island in the united kingdom and within called England. I used to fly for a living but now i'm retired I swopped to drone flying. I invested in a few Drones and all from DJI. Mavic Pro 2, zoom, air 2 and the mini. None of which are any good without instruction. After watching you for a little over a year (eyes getting tired !) I have gleamed so much information from you and cannot thank you enough. You are truly a great ambassador for these drones. I was used to taking off from big runways and now vertically from a field!! Well done you and a huge thank you for a great common sense easy to follow tutorials. All the best to you.
Thank you, truly!
Excellent info. I took away 2 very useful points. Awesome!!! Thanks.
Great info! Thank You!
I Grew up in ND. You represent the State well. Love your style and ability to deliver great content that is easy to understand and with an ND warmth. Well done!
Excellent!!! Thanks!
Great video and to the point. Thanks !
Awesome footage.
Mine arrived today!
Great Info Russ, and love the LOGO! Free Well it is. Thanks!
Just watched your Beginners video. The RTH height tip and feature description is excellent. I watched a neighbor unbox a new drone and take off with no preparation. He took off from his tree-covered deck and flew horizontally until he cleared the massive oak tree surrounded by his deck and then climbed and flew around. When he returned to home, the drone descended straight down into that tree where it chewed itself tightly into the twigs and still sits to this day.
The ND filter segment is a great introduction also. My Mavic Air 2 is on its way and I subscribed to your channel.
The best tip i got is "get the combo if you can"
When calculated by individual item purchased separately, assuming you want all the accessories the saving is well over $300. That is the base $800 plus all the extras in Combo @ $1050 including Care Refrest @ $79 value. Then base + individually purchased items @ 1300+. Two extra batteries alone @ $230. Base + 2 batteries @ $1030. Yeh, the combo is the way to go.
Just baught my combo now im workin on getting my Part 107 license so I can fly in my local areas state parks.. unfortunately were I live you need to have the Part 107 to fly in state parks 😑 but thats all good because I plan on doing more than just recreational flying ☺
@@Brandon-mo8np good luck!
I see your videos with great interest! Thank You!
I got this drone coming from a RC helicopter background and I have to say what a DREAM it is to fly this. Flying a heli as a beginner is a nightmare, the Air 2 is a freaking Cadillac with air shocks lol. When I would do tight maneuvers with it near objects the drone would not let me crash it, the proximity sensors completely take over it's annoying but awesome at the same time. Absolutely love this drone right now.
The logo looks nice
Keep doing what your doing...i enjoy watching your channel always worth the time....because of you I brought my drone...
Awesome shots mate. Thanks for these quick tips. I just got my ND filters for this drone. They´re awesome to use when there´s to much light.
Great information and well done!
Love the outtakes! :)
Great tips! You speak well and make things easy to understand for a first-time drone owner like me! Thank you, new Denver subscriber.
Another great video, Russ. TY for the tips. Fly safe.
I have seen every video on TH-cam about the Mavic air 2 and it was my first drone! And I am very happy with it!
Am buying it in January 16th as a birthday gift 💝
Great tips for getting your settings dialed in. Nice video Russ.
Great video Russ..... and l really like the new logo and setting.... 👍🏻
Nice one man great channel. Just bought mine and channel great thanks
😂🤣😂🤣 loved the blooper section at the end of the video. I’m gonna have to go back and check out your tutorial for ND filters for the Mavic Pro. I just got some and have not used them yet, which I haven’t flown in 10 months since I’ve moved here in Chattanooga. But anyway, as usual great video and always keep up the good work. Thanks Russ
Russ. Love your channel. I had been looking into drone flight like crazy and really find your content superb. Ended up buying a Mavic Mini to start. Not sure if you have done a video on the Canadian Drone laws yet, but it would be so beneficial for all of your friendly neighbors to the north of you. Btw....love the lighting.
These are very sensible and useful tips, thank you for them. Liked and subbed.
Hi, Russ 👍🏻👍🏻 I’m so glad to see you back especially doing quick tips for the MA2 and I hope to see more awesome videos of the MA2. Russ thanks for sharing, enjoy and have a Blessed Sunday !!! Danny
What do you mean "back"? I never left!
Didn’t recognize you w/o head cover. Good review. Even after hours of flying I still bring my drone up, reverse the front, and practice maneuvering in different orientations. Only after do I resume my flight.
Ñew flyer. Really appreciate your videos. Keep them coming so much easier to learn how to do things .
Nice logo. Great tips about the use of ND filters and how to determine which one to use. The clue about the polarization was great. All of your tips could apply to every drone.
Great tips Russ 👍💪
Nice flying bud. Subscribed!
Very informative. This is my first drone and videos like this are very helpful.
Yay a new video!
I made a decision to buy my second drone. I have a HolyStone HS720 that I got as a gift. I flew it for 4 months and ran into an issue after upgrading my phone where the app it used was useless except for providing live video of the camera. It wouldn't save flight data, show the map location, or allow me to use features IE: point of interest orbit or tap fly (an automatic flight path drawn by way points)
After two weeks of emailing their customer service, which was phenomenal BTW, they have excellent customer support, it was discovered that the app was not compatible with the OS of my new phone and I would need to wait for the app to be upgraded in the future to use any of the features.
So....after watching your videos and numerous others, I decided to buy the Air 2 and I can't wait for it to arrive in the next couple of days.
Thank you for your content and honest reviews, tutorials, and tips. I always look forward to your new videos.
Russ great work on your quick tips videos. I just purchased a used Mavic Air 2 with fly more combo locally in my area. I had already watched many videos like I did for my Mavic Mini and just upgraded to a Mini 2 and sole the Mini this last spring. I also just purchased the smart controller and that might have been a stretch for the Mini2 but with both drones it is great. May seem silly to have two drones but I think I will still use them both. As always keep up the great work on your channel.
Good points !!! Enjoyed it.
LOL..... just finished watching the whole video..... LOVE THE OUTTAKES!!!!! 😂
Good tips
Thumbs up ere' 51 Drones - great intro for beginners on the Mavic Air 2. Many thanks for sharing the info :)
Informative, especially about stops. I live in A and usually when shooting at 4K shoot using an ND16. Guess I' like my videos a bit darker yet retaining the cinematic quality needed for good drone cameras.
Good info I can use it also for my fimi x8 se 2020 stay safe and happy flying
Can’t believe I wasn’t subscribed. I am now great content!
Awesome! I just bought one today haven't even taken it out of the box yet would love a video on under standing the video settings and camera settings 4k 30 fps and 60 fps and best scenario of which to use
Great video man... I just subscribed (didn't know why I wasn't) and I'm doing the tutorials as well but in Spanish. Thank you for the inspiration 🙌🏻 Keep it up..
I have the Polar Pro vivid collection 8/16/32 ND/PL. So far they have worked well in bright conditions as well as shooting into the sun (sunrise/sunset video) Still trying to find the best efficiency for setting the right click on the nob for filter control. I second an upcoming video on fine tuning the controls for best use of each nd filter and polarization...maybe it's been covered in your previous videos, but adjusting clicks for optimal polarization is super helpful.
Your new logo looks good and easy to read
Some good tips and like the logo
Yep, new logo is Sweet As!
Hey, Russ! You been working out? You look GREAT! Keep up the good work! Thanks for the VIDEO info!
Enjoyed your three tips. Tip number one can be a killer if you forget and are in tight spaces. If you are unsure just turn 180 degrees and back it in. Controls will revert to normal.
you fully guide the features of the mavic air 2, I just bought it but dare not use it. Thank you very much
Nice video! DO you have another one about the F stops and shutter/filters calculations?
Yeah, way to go bro, Now I am discovered that I actually fly Air 2 a lot more than my Mavic 2 pro.............. Mavic Air 2 is really an excellent drone,,,,, especially with that price............. Its the best drone now ^. ^
Hey Man nice video and tips. I’m a beginner myself and you taught me about those nd filters so thanks! One thing I think you got wrong. I already crashed my MA2 because I had it in sport mode and the sensors are off in that mode. I would recommend all beginners to STAY CLEAR of sport mode for that reason. Surprised you recommended it because it was fun. My only issue with this video. Still appreciate your knowledge. Keep the videos coming! Thanks.
I dont believe he recommended it. He simply said he likes Sport Mode. And you should have known Sport mode is not for beginners. Sport mode is for open air ONLY, or for fighter pilot action during which time you'll crash and burn. In my opinion, pt A to pt B in Sport mode, with B being your area of camera action and switch to Tripod or Normal Mode.
goobermint her3tik No, he said “ you should be using sport mode because it’s fun”
I agree with Max
Good job on the video... Be cool man!
Thank you for the best explanation of using ND filters and how they correlate with stops of light. Could you give us an example of how to use the 3 ND filters in the fly more kit, especially the ND 64 and the ND 256
Thank you for your wonderful videos!! I have a question though...as a new drone owner...how do you find out what the highest obstacle is? Do you just estimate the trees?
Great video! Quick question what is that iPad 12.9 adapter for the controller ??
Yup. Drone Supememency has a great channel as well. Easy for you to say.
thw best tips
Nice video, I think it should auto switch to normal mode so it has obstacle avoidance when returning home even if you were in sport mode.
Great Video. I've been watching all your Mavic Air 2 videos. Bought mine 2 weeks ago. Loving it and your advice and guidence. One question if you would help me with the answer. On my drone screen on my iphone and ipad mini ....the circle at the bottom is not an arrow or ship that tells me what direction I'm headed. There is only Red stuff and I have no idea what it means. How can I get my arrow going like yours. I'd love to see a video that helps you fly using the screen. You know instrumental flying. Of course I know I need to have eye contact but still it would be nice to know when you do loose sight. Thanks for everything. Tom
Thank you for the tips! Nothing more frustrating than setting up to video outside and the lawn mowing festival starts with one neighbor then the next etc.
In your filter comparison, didn't you compare Freewell ND8 to Pgytech ND8 polarizer? Polarizer, depending how you adjust it, will darken the scene (this is what you experienced). ND8 polarizer is true ND8 when polarizing effect is turned off. If you turn it for max polarization it may be equivalent to ND16 or more. Saying that it is pgytech inaccuracy is inaccurate.
I second this comment. The polarized ND filter will block more light.
Dude you look like a movie star without your lid!!
Thanks for the info on Freewell PL/ND8. No one seems to show how to set best the polarize. The Mavic 2 Pro PL/ND8 has a white mark to best setting.
Without glare it does not seem to matter. I tried to just set the mark to straight up top. This gives me bluest sky and nice green trees using normal auto mode with a slight EV adjustment. Some have said to just look through lens for best condition before installing on the camera. Also PL/ND 16 looks great too in late afternoon even towards the sun with sun still fairly high in the sky.
Maybe a video with detail on setting the polarizer would be most helpful. I can of course use trial and error method.
I totally agree with your comment.
Hi! I just purchased a new Mavic Air 2 thanks to you and FlytPath (Aldryn)! Catching up on some of your Air 2 videos. How do you capture video from your iPhone/iPad? Would like to do the same and add to my video for learning purposes. Thanks!
Hey Russ, love the videos. I just ordered my very first drone at 59. I subscribed to your channel as, I really like the way you explain things. You are a very good speaker, and easy to listen to. I am searching for an adapter for my wife's ipad and noticed you using one in this video. Which one is it and will I need a lanyard to hold it up or is it light enough to handle for 30 mins. I saw two types of lanyards, one that holds the side of the ipad and one that holds on to the ipad support itself, which in my mind would interfere with the controller. Thanks.
Never mind Russ, I read through more posts and found the video.
Great vid thank you, I live in the Ireland and have a basic drone license what license do I need to fly my MA2 more places other than a deserted beach or waste ground because I'm struggling to find places to fly as I live in Belfast City, Ican drive to locations but can't fly from home
how can you adjust the polarizer filter to eliminate reflection when it's installed on your moving drone?
Why would you recommend a filter kit with so many options if you only use 2 of them? Thanks for the videos.
I bought the MA2 to put me on until the Mavic 3 Zoom comes out but if you could only have one out of the MA2 and Mavic 2 Zoom which one would you have?
Great Logo. Very progressive and catchy and recognizable. What else can you ask for??
Perfect tips!!! Thanks so much. How do you determine the height of stuff?
Fly up to it and check the numbers.
51 Drones thanks I thought there was some sort of cool trigonometry or something. I like the KISS method here. Thanks again.
What is the iPad holder you are using for the MA2 in this specific video? It does not look like the one referenced in the gear links.
00:09:35...thank you!!!
Dude, it's Drone Supemacy! You had it right... LOL
Why did you state Sport Mode is more fun? In what way? Thanks
In one of your videos you mentioned the camera “panning” left or right. I thought you said to swipe the screen to turn it, but I can’t figure out how to pan left or right..
Loving the new logo man sweet when are you selling the shirts man
2 days!
Love it I will be ready bro
I'm exploring the purchase of my 1st Drone. Pardoned the obvious question. How is the control signal protected or isolated from other pilots in the same area? Can the signal be cloned or captured?
What filter were you using when adjusting at 9:13 section? Thanks
What polarizer filter do you use?
How are you mounting your iPad on the Mavic air 2 controller?
Finally no snow 😎
Hey Russ... Appreciate the info on the ND filters. Did order the full set of Freewell filters for my MA2. It came with DJI's ND 16, which is a bit dark. Will have to turn on the histogram and check the shutter speed and ISO settings. Forgot to do that.
Would like to say my first two flights with the MA 2 were good, but not so. Even after updating the firmware, per DJI's suggestion, still get a lag in the video capture. So annoying. Not sure what to do at this point.
All was not lost though. Pulled out my 2Pro, and had much more fun.
Any idea about the lagging video? Will check out your friend Mike's info on ND filters.
Cheers....
@Tony Owen Not sure what kind of lag you are getting, but the H.256 codec does not play nicely with some computers and causes an unacceptable stutter during playback. Something to check.
I lost connection with the Mavic Air 2 at only a distance of 500 ft. Was it because I had the WiFi turned off on my phone? I know Cellular should be turned on, but what other things should be turned on or off on my iPhone 11 to prevent an Aircraft disconnect? Thanks Russ!
love the outtakes, should do more or just a video of bloopers... :)
@ 51 Drones Is it normal on a Mavic air 2 if the gymbal on the horizontal axis is always 1 degree to the left? even if I re center the gymbal as soon as see is always 1 degree to the left!
Mavic air 2 or mini 2 come please which one would you go for if your first drone
Which tablet are you using?
Hey Garth Brooks!!! Your adjustment layer on the frames where you are talking at the camera is not extended the whole way to the frame on the right..you can see a line down the right side of the screen...love the tips!!! love what ya doin!! :)
Yep. I missed the color matte on some of them.
