This reminds me of a saying, - "If someone tells you that their dog can sing, don't ask which song it knows" Its a camera flying in the sky that can control itself. I have few complaints and am amazed every flight!
I dipped into my 401 to buy mine so I didn't use our pocket money, I didn't tell my wife how much it was till after I already had it.. She wasn't pleased at all. Almost caused a divorce, and I'm sure it will come up any time she gets mad. I passed my 107 and need a pro drone damnit!
My Woman is okay with me spending money on stuff if it keeps me out of trouble specially if I can use it to make money. To a point if it is coming from our joint account or savings.. if it’s my own savings or account I can do whatever I want :D
Well, not sure about f/4 but f/5.6 is already getting soft. I think it’s misleading to put such a broad aperture range in there. They did well not to go lower than 2.8 in terms of other aberrations creeping in. With larger pixels f/11 would look fine, as it would on a 20MP full frame. When would you recommend using f/11 on the Mavic or P4?
The fit on the legs you guys call "a rub" is actually a firm fit to prevent legs from unintentionally unfolding. Thank you for 2.7 vs 11 comment - have not tested that yet so now I will know what to expect.
I upgraded from a Phantom 3 Advanced to a Mavic 2 Pro, and couldn't be happier. The Mavic is a joy to fly and film with, and with the Litchi app I can do all sorts of cool stuff with it. While you pointed out some gripes, none of the things you talk about out made me regret my purchase in the least. The only point you made that I can identify with as a gripe is the limited modes the side anti-collision sensors are used in, but I'm honestly still having too much fun with the thing to care. For those who might be interested, I picked up a "Beyondsky Upgraded Mavic 2 Shoulder Bag Carrying Case 4 Battery Storage Box for DJI Mavic 2 Zoom / 2 Pro" case on Amazon, and the Mavic 2 Pro fits it perfectly (without the gimbal guard, which I immediately tossed).
All these negative comments towards your review is amazing - I am 60 - is this the norm for children today. Good review guys - better than 110% positive propaganda to just sell - sell - sell !!! As this was done 18 months ago - has then been updates that have rectified issues/minor flaws ??
Not to rag on you guys, but it did sound like a lot of whining. Like crying about the internal storage space when 4k recording is so big. Like you should be happy it's even there and that it can record in 4k. Maybe drop it down to 1080p if you're so concerned about space when you forgot your memory card lol.
@@HalfChrome That's not an admittance. On the enterprise Mavics, the damage that can be caused by forgetting your SD card is much greater for a search and rescue situation or if the SD card doesn't work or something. This was a click bait video and based on the likes/dislikes, I would take it down. You guys have some good vids, this ain't one.
I would never want to do work for you two, you would never be satisfied with any thing. I bet you send your steak back 2-3 times, and don't tip your waitress.
Look I like your videos but you really need to be kinder to your subscribers. I’ve been reading your responses to your subs and your responses are childish, rude, petty, and immature. That’s no way to run a TH-cam channel.
Speechless! Everything I’ve been trying to get you tubers to cover you guys covered it! I like how you said before everything that they are your favorite drones because I agree, they are fantastic. BUT, DJI needs to be called out on these quality control issues that can’t seem to improve over the years which is not fair to their loyal customers who have been spending thousands of dollars on their products for years. Couple things I will say. First, the rear gimbal roll motor actually gets scratched during flight by making contact with the plastic hooks on the gimbal bracket that secure the rubber dampeners. This shud have been picked up easily if they were to do proper testing and fixed simply by slightly moving that gimbal bracket or using different hook design with scratch resistant material(such as material used on the bottom of trick roller blades for grinding). Second, I got the pro and the zoom and got the fly more kit with both and it’s very weird but the bag I got with the pro version fit both my mavic 2’s just fine. However the bag I got with the zoom had the same issue where the drone simply did not fit without jamming it in the bag using way too much force. My conclusion is that all the bags they make are not exactly identical(very slight) but it’s already such a tight fit that even the slightest defect in the dimensions makes it not fit right so you may want to consider at least trying to return the bag for a new one because it may not seem like it but I think it’s actually manufacturer defect which again, should have been picked up with proper design and testing. I sent dji videos and pictures of the scratches on the rear gimbal and told them about the issue so at least they know about it. And the rear arms scraping didn’t bother me too much cuz I can just slightly push them away from the body when folding but the fact that they fold them before mass production and just say “oh well, good enough, too lazy to make design adjustments” really encapsulates the biggest problem with DJI, which is customer service and quality control which brings me to another point you made about the shipping. I too find it so rediculous that you can’t get their packages held or pre-signed because they don’t even consider how much of a pain it is to adjust your whole day around waiting for a package, especially when it’s a return product for something they didn’t do right, I agree it’s completely rediculous. Thank you for this video you guys, DJI needs to hear all this and hopefully they will realize a chain is only as strong as it’s weakest link, and their customer service and quality control is exactly that, a super weak link in their chain and it’s gone on for too long. It’s the small details that make all the difference.
Very subjective and picky, it is a great product,I love the bag,keep it small, I never carry the charger in the bag. First adopters sort out the problems, and the next users get the benefits. First adopters love the challenge of breaking in a new design, and sort out the aftermarket for add ons, like gimbal protectors. Thanks for the video, I enjoyed it.
Some things I agree with that they said. Some I could care less about. The gimbal cover on mine was dislodged when I opened the box and also scratches on the gimbal from it. You’d think with all the removable stickers dji put on the drone they would spend the extra $.02 for some protection on the most important part of the drone. Especially for the price we have to pay!
Bought mine up at Best Buy and was flying 1 hour later. Plus I guess if there was ever issue you could even return it. And I assume prices all the same. What a great upgrade from my phantom 2. Happy flying
@#9... I love the fly more bag - If you actually try (like I did), you can fit two batteries on their sides next to each other at the bottom of the storage compartment. Do this first, then put the drone in, the way you did. Then the controller, charging bank, charger and power all fit next to the controller, very neatly. Then my controller tablet holder fits in right outer pocket, spare blades in front with ND filter case and neck strap, and cables etc go inside top of lid. All closes and then I have everything for a job. Note, I did buy the rubber blade protectors for storing the drone without ever damaging them - they were cheap and very nice to use.
One major point to add, when folded and props removed (or not), the motor shaft touches the ground and hold the entire weight of the drone as you lay it down and is prone to do damage
Today is April 27, 2020 and they had a firmware upgrade and now my 2 pro Works perfect. I love my Drone .... I fly every chance I get weather permitting. And I always file a flight plan to be safe. Keep up the good work
I'd like to see the panning control added to the options for the custom controls. You can move the camera up and down butnot left / right. It can be done via the smartphone App so add it to the options please.
This is probably the best video about mavic2 drones on youtube. Of course these are awesome drones, that's not the point. The point is how we could make these better! This video is like "free consulting", consulting is so valuable for a company, DJI should really see this. I understand some people can feel offended because have spent lots of money on this drone. I have spent that money too. But from a professional point of view, knowing the limitations of your tool is the key to good planning. You need to know how to overcome the limitations of your tools to provide the best service to you clients. So don't feel ashamed, our 2k drones have limitations. Learn the limitations and learn to deal with it! This is actually what this video is about. So stop saying the authors are "crying", they are simply not. These guys are just professionals.
FedEx lost a guy's done for two years. Apparently the cargo plane crashed and they got stuck on some remote island. But he got the delivery eventually.
4:39 I'm all in for swappable cameras on drones: traditional cameras, cameras with different lens types, 360° cameras, infrared cameras, night vision cameras, photogrammetry cameras etc... make it happen!...
It's happened. It's called the Inspire 2. It's amazing how spoiled we are. Not 10 years ago we had to rent a helicopter and a good camera for a decent shot that these give. Now we want awesome cameras that fly 7 miles and have interchangeable lenses. The Inspire 2, or even the 1 with the 5S is simply way cheaper than a Red for $50k. For the price of a high price DSLR, you can have a flying machine that has a stabilizer and interchangeable lenses and stops, yet you want it at this price point. Move up to pro drones if you want pro drones. If you want prosumer/consumer drones, you're at the right price point and should be singing the praises of what you get for the money.
I am 80 years old I like taking photos and the idea of a drone being able to go where I cannot walk any longer my walking is okay but I can't go out in the bush and I live in the mountains so I have a lot of bush I would like to take photos and add to my computer the best camera on board
I've made a decision after a few days of looking at all the different pieces of equipment I am going with a platinum 4 Pro I think that has the best camera and will service Mountain that I would like to take pictures of and that's what I do a lot of I have a Canon 5D and I think some of these cameras will do as well I hope because it can go where I am not able to I stay on the road it may be dirt but I'll stay on it I hope all of you find what you're looking for God bless happy Landing
@@mikepearson3130 yep mike get the phantom 4 pro v2 hands down best image until you spend alot more money to go bigger and more complex. I am flying a 5D and sony a7r2 and 3 and while the shots with the sony imparticular are stellar it is the biggest ball ache with the big rig. I also use the phantom 4 pro 2 and the anafi for close survey work.
Hi guys i have the mavic 2 pro about a week now. My camera is very shaking and i have gimbal overload from the first flights And in the middle of the screen there are some stretches of the video. Please help me
Interesting that you mentioned FedEx. I ordered my M2P on Tuesday with scheduled next day delivery if I ordered within 2hrs and pay $12 xtra for shipping from Amazon. It’s my first ever drone, never even flew one before, so needless to say I was excited yesterday (Wednesday) and it’s even going to be delivered at work so I can show off. About 10am yesterday I get an email, sorry but we can’t meet overnight shipping and will refund your shipping fee and deliver Thursday, today. Great, two day shipping for free. NOT... get another email this morning saying it’s shipped and will be delivered Friday. Time will tell. Meanwhile, I’m watching lots of TH-cam on my new drone that’s not here yet, which is nice.
One thing I've noticed is that the shutter reaction time is about double as slow as on the MP1. I did a comparison today and was pretty disappointed. When pushing the shutter button it sounds like the photo is being taken right away but theres a huge lag. Try shooting straight down on a moving car, if you see it on the screen and then push the button the car will be long gone before the photo is taken. On the MP1 its much faster. what makes it even worse is that there in only a 5 shot burst possible on the MP2 opposed to a 7 shot burst on the MP1. And yes, I did try it in MF and AF modes. Any ideas?
My new pro 2 came with the wrong size controller cable charger. DJI will not send me the correct size and they do not know the item number . I also do not see it in their store! Help..
As of late, I've been coming across a lot of videos that are filmed locally, by locals... I wonder if that's just coincidence or if it's baked into the algorithms? Anyway, thumbs-up from a more southern suburb. 👍
I get the rubbing arms and the dumb gimbal cover but you guys should have known about Diffraction ;) which Is limited to about f5.6 on the 16mm sensor (or 1" type). The great thing about that camera is you can control the aperture.
Mavic 2 newbee here. I get a sensor error with full right stick forward in both P and S mode. The warning also says "return control stick to center." I thought 'S' mode would disable the sensors, but apparently not. Is there any way around that other than digging into the menu inflight? This is not altitude dependent as it happens at 200' as well as near the ground.
To the folks claiming these boys are TOO PICKY...buckle up buttercups, this is how continuing improvement works!! FEEDBACK, FEEDBACK, FEEDBACK...how is DJI supposed to meet real world requirements, if not for hearing what the expert users are saying??? Very good video, I agree with them, the Mavic 2 Zoom..."I LIKE IT A LOT!!"
Personally I normally turn off the sensors and the zoom almost forces auto exposure if you are doing zoom as the exposure changes dramatically. Other than that I love the MPz, the MA, Spark and my EVO. I tossed the gimbal guard and use a foam pad between the camera and body which works much better.
Hi Guys, On the phantom 3 we had the ability to use the ev scroll wheel as a button to switch to shutter speed but we have lost that now and I cannot re assign this option to aC1 or C2 also I cannot find a way to turn off the top avoidance sensor so every time I fly under something low it tries to land. Slao why does the video settings change after you set them in manual then change the flight mode to hyper lapse the shutter and ev etc. change so you have to reset them again before hitting the ok button to start your hyper lapse, very easy to miss and screws up your video as its now over exposed.
Half Chrome put it in sports mode and centre the camera and go forward. The camera will drop . I’ve had 5 with the same issues . I don’t believe that you haven’t seen the barrel distortion.. cheers
I've had my zoom 18 months and am delighted. Yeah, I agree with some of your points, but the biggest to my mind is the con of 'Hasselblad' camera on the pro. Many reports say it's a SONY sensor. Hasselblad were a consultant to DJI, but they've not made the thing themselves. Should say SONY! Compared images with friends who have the pro, and we all agree the zoom produces better images, unless you're into processing RAW format. The zoom lenz is a real bonus (depending on what you're doing). More flexible and cheaper because you're not paying for that 'Hasselblad' badged name licence!!
What I am missing: More options for the 5 way joystick. Left and Right for Aperture control, that's fine. But why I cannot configure exposure time for up and down? This would be just great, since I do 99% still images in manual mode. One stick would control all. Pleast fix that, DJI!
Hey what brand and how do I get that drone that is sitting in front of you at the 43 second mark of this video? It has 6 props. If you could let me know ....Thank You Very much
Would you prefer the Zoom or the Mavic 2 pro.?? I work on windmill turbines and love the Zoom feature, however when I'm home I love photography and cinematic features. I'm havin trouble choosing. I have to have the Zoom feature to keep from getting too close to the windmill blades, but I'm a crystal clear footage kinda guy. What would you prefer out of the 2???
Good Videos Guys. You should have mention the beeping noise when the battery is on low. There should be a shout off button to just temporary stop the noise at lest until 5Min. when it will worne you again. The noise is annoying and very aggravating! They need to update this beeping noise to customers preference to turn it off when ever they want. Hope they work something out with this. Good job guys.
I have a strange issue I had also with the mavic 1. I got the mavic 2 pro 2 weeks ago. Since then it updated already 3 times to v01.00.02.00. I don't understand why it's keeo doing that. It happend several times when I had the 1 that it keeps updating again and again to the same update.
When you have your mav pro 2 hovering does it fly sort of lopsided? If i stare directly at it as its flying it looks like the right side is heavier than the left??
Sean Ozz I think the case is perfect. I’ve seen a few videos moaning about it, but it’s all down to how you pack it. First I put one battery in the bottom. Then the drone with the camera at the top facing in to the centre of the case. Then the controller at the back above the first battery. Second battery at the front with the back towards the drone and the charger to the left of this. It’s a nice snug fit and the camera is well protected at the top and centre. There is plenty of room in the other pockets for any of the other bits and pieces and the quality of the bag is top notch. It reminds me of an old leather Fuji camera bag I got a few years ago, before they all became nylon and cheap feeling. (I’m not a DJI fanboy, I just like quality “retro” things). 8) It’s also about as compact as it could be, nothing rattling around and a cool German Luftwaffe grey.
I agree with most of the points made in this video. I don't agree with some of my fellow viewers who see this as whining about a good product: we as consumers have every right to point out shortcomings of the products we buy with the hope that the manufacturers are paying attention. This goes for a $1000 drone as well as a $1 cat toy. The point of shipping via FedEx is lost on me for the simple reason that I would never order an expensive electronics device directly from an overseas company. The best point was more programmability of controller keys. I completely agree with the need to be able to turn on and off the obstacle avoidance with a button. Well done guys.
@@Wazza722 You do know there is an micro SD slot on the bird, yes? The 8GB is just there for a little backup if you forget your SD card. Hardly a joke,
Thanks guy. Great video and I'm glad you pointed out some of these things. I have a question for you all. I was thinking of getting one of these as I currently I have the Phantom series drones (standard and (a crashed) pro vers 2). After watching the video, it appears DJI cheapen out making this drone. It doesn't look like it's built as strong as the Phantom series, yet the price is about the same for each model. Additionally, the controller looks like a video-game controller, which I can't stand. I'm flying a drone, not playing a PlayStation! What are your thoughts? From what I understand, the Phantom series is no longer in production. I'm just worried I may have no other option as I've yet to see another company create a flying camera that can produce decent quality images. Is the Mavic 2 PRO it worth it? Any options other than DJI? Any thoughts? Again, great video.
I've watched plenty of videos comparing the Mavic Pro Platinum vs Mavic 2 Zoom and while for $1300 I can get the Platinum and the fly more kit, I can't help but feel that it would make more sense just to get the Zoom with its current tech. As someone who doesn't have a drone, what would you recommend currently?
Back in December I got the Mavic Pro with the fly more kit for around $860. I've not seen it that cheap since then but I have seen it for under $1,000. If you choose to go that route and willing to wait you should be able to find it on sale in the near future. For me having three batteries allowed me to fly longer each time making the learning curve less sleep. It was a big help. On the other hand the zoom with the new upgrades would really be cool. If your one pinning for the newest technology you may need to go that route.
Subbed! Thanks for this video. Part of me didn't want to click on (since I already purchased the zoom) but that's kind of like not going to the doctor because you don't want to hear why you're sick. All in all I think we all agree that these products are pretty amazing, but every product has some short comings. Thanks for presenting many of them.
Actual question, regarding #5, don’t all lenses have an f stop where it achieves its maximum sharpness, and then the sharpness falls off in either direction? I did a test with my t3i with the nifty fifty mm lens, and found the max sharpness to be up around f5.6-f8. Is this because my setup was on the low-cost side of things, or is it inherent in all lenses to some degree?
Hey Jeremy. Yes, that’s technically probably true. At low f/numbers more aberrations show up that can affect images in any number of ways. In contrast, with small apertures, diffraction becomes an issue and images lose sharpness all around. My experience with the Mavic 2 Pro is that is really is nice and sharp wide open. The pixels are really small on a 20 MP 1 inch sensor so diffraction becomes a problem pretty much as soon as you stop it down at all. Someone commented that they like the solar glare effect at f/11 but other than that I don’t recommend going past f/5.6. I put on ND filters for video and make small adjustments between f/5.6 and wide open with the aperture.
Man come on, those DJI drones are amazing, It hurts me seeing all this complaints about it, they are amazing machines, what the hell else you want for that price?, a SpaceX rocket?...
has anyone had the error 200 problem with the mavic? i just came back from holiday and ive never crashed the drone but for some reason it says gimbal dissconected and it wont show any image from the camera?
Bag designed only for flying. For two batteries, remote and drone. Not for chagers or something else. You should leave car charger in car and usually charger at home. And put drone first, then others. When ready to fly pull drone last.
Actually you can pair the custom buttons to the obstacle avoidance because I literally have mine set to do that. Also, some of these complaints are incredibly stupid. The gimbal protector? Seriously? I genuinely believe somebody forced you to make this video and you had no material to come up with, so you complain about things that aren't even functionality based.
I noticed my Mavic 2 Zoom left and right collision does not work in Position mode. It works in Tripod mode but not in Position mode. The collision does work front and back in Position mode but not the side sensors. Any comments?
Hey Everybody, does anybody else have the problem with the dolly zoom, at the 6 second mark it jumps a bit. Mine does it every time. and i just notices it on the first dolly zoom video on here. Its like it has a snag right at 6 second. Anybody else have this problem. Thanks.
Half Chrome has been poor in my experience, that said fed ex service varies depending where you live, ive lived all over the country and the experience has been poor in some ares and excellent in others.
@@HalfChrome Sorry bro you might not have liked it, but you are reviewing such an exciting product which may have issues for sure, but as a viewer I would expect a lot better, you guys are young and sure can do lot better. My comment was after disappointment, what I got from this video is lack of energy, no creativity(like could have added some background music etc). I know if I was in your place and comments like mine would hurt, so I apologise for that. I am new to your channel and drones, cameras etc so I want to learn all pros and cons from experts like you. Thanks
Totally agree with FedEx delivery option, said they attempted delivery 3 times, not on camera, finally had to drive to ground warehouse to pick up. Good review, not to worried about the Pro stuff, own the zoom. Thanks
The round plastic gimbal guard was just a terrible pain in the ass until I figured out how to do it...then it was easy-peezie. You can attach it with the gimbal in almost any orientation once you realize how they designed it, then it seems almost genius. You just hold it by the globe and see how the gimbal is situated, then orient the cover in the same orientation....and "jacks-a-doughnut" slide it over...twist if needed and lock her down.
When I've got goggles connected to the mp#2 it stops the buttons on the back of the controller working and also makes the the drone spin when you zoom in? Any ideas anyone?
@@HalfChrome I think the bag is perfect. You can put the complete fly more combo plus an iPad mini into it. Why should I buy a small, foldable copter and then use a case nearly as big as the case for a phantom?
Hi my name is Bob Lee I live in Burr ridge LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! I Saw portillos and I thought to myself maybe you are in Chicago I am having software/firmware issues with my dji Mavic Zoom Im hoping I can pay you a diagnose fee and bring it in as you are local to me. ive spent days now trying to figure out what's happening as I can't connect to dji assistant 2 and my smart controller won't connect to Mavic, otherwise its in beautiful shape
Enjoyed the review guys, good video. I just bought my first ever drone yesterday mav 2 pro. Good to see what the pros are picking up on. I’m having so much fun with this drone. I think it’s the best money iv ever spent. Will sub and keep up with your videos. Thanks
Great videos guys. I have multiple DJI drones, and most of them are better then the Pro 2. It's amazing how many Pro 2 owners are trying to justify their purchase. Buyers remorse big-time. PS, you forgot to mention it does not have precision landing.
One more important issue: Why each time with a new drone we have to buy longer legs ...? Because the drone is too low. Why cant they from the beginning build longer, but also foldable legs ? Thats anoying to me.
Completely agree on the delivery issues with FEDEX - absolutely horrendous settings for delivery and no flexibility. Every shipment from DJI = same thing. Trying to chase the package for days.
I ordered mine 2-14-18 in the morning, and it "shipped" today. I e-mailed them because there's no tracking #, and they told me it's not shipped yet lol. If I didn't get a student discount with DJI, I would have bought from B&H Photo! DJI's order fulfillment service is a joke
Awesome job guys. I'm still on the fence about upgrading from my MavicPro. Not sure if the upgrades are worth the price yet. Still digging my MP . I expected more with less issues
This reminds me of a saying, - "If someone tells you that their dog can sing, don't ask which song it knows"

@Beautiful Greece I highly doubt you can make a camera drone that can ''control it self'' for 40 dollars.
If it costs 1000+ dollars, the dog need to sing every song i like and play piano too.

broms316 Clearly you have not been married long enough to know when to keep your mouth shut! !,,
,
No camera lens is sharp at their tightest aperture. They are always sharpest somewhere in the middle. For the M2P it's about F4.
Of course. Just pointing it out.
Then it's not a problem.
Well, not sure about f/4 but f/5.6 is already getting soft. I think it’s misleading to put such a broad aperture range in there. They did well not to go lower than 2.8 in terms of other aberrations creeping in. With larger pixels f/11 would look fine, as it would on a 20MP full frame. When would you recommend using f/11 on the Mavic or P4?
@@HalfChrome I would recommend it if you'd want to have a sunburst effect. Filming into the sun with f11 is beautiful like that.
But indeed, the overall spectrum is on the (too) soft side.
The fit on the legs you guys call "a rub" is actually a firm fit to prevent legs from unintentionally unfolding. Thank you for 2.7 vs 11 comment - have not tested that yet so now I will know what to expect.

I upgraded from a Phantom 3 Advanced to a Mavic 2 Pro, and couldn't be happier. The Mavic is a joy to fly and film with, and with the Litchi app I can do all sorts of cool stuff with it. While you pointed out some gripes, none of the things you talk about out made me regret my purchase in the least. The only point you made that I can identify with as a gripe is the limited modes the side anti-collision sensors are used in, but I'm honestly still having too much fun with the thing to care. For those who might be interested, I picked up a "Beyondsky Upgraded Mavic 2 Shoulder Bag Carrying Case 4 Battery Storage Box for DJI Mavic 2 Zoom / 2 Pro" case on Amazon, and the Mavic 2 Pro fits it perfectly (without the gimbal guard, which I immediately tossed).
That’s is a serious upgrade. Enjoy it
What does the Litchi App do?
It is a 3rd party app with some different flight modes.

Speechless! Everything I’ve been trying to get you tubers to cover you guys covered it! I like how you said before everything that they are your favorite drones because I agree, they are fantastic. BUT, DJI needs to be called out on these quality control issues that can’t seem to improve over the years which is not fair to their loyal customers who have been spending thousands of dollars on their products for years. Couple things I will say. First, the rear gimbal roll motor actually gets scratched during flight by making contact with the plastic hooks on the gimbal bracket that secure the rubber dampeners. This shud have been picked up easily if they were to do proper testing and fixed simply by slightly moving that gimbal bracket or using different hook design with scratch resistant material(such as material used on the bottom of trick roller blades for grinding). Second, I got the pro and the zoom and got the fly more kit with both and it’s very weird but the bag I got with the pro version fit both my mavic 2’s just fine. However the bag I got with the zoom had the same issue where the drone simply did not fit without jamming it in the bag using way too much force. My conclusion is that all the bags they make are not exactly identical(very slight) but it’s already such a tight fit that even the slightest defect in the dimensions makes it not fit right so you may want to consider at least trying to return the bag for a new one because it may not seem like it but I think it’s actually manufacturer defect which again, should have been picked up with proper design and testing. I sent dji videos and pictures of the scratches on the rear gimbal and told them about the issue so at least they know about it. And the rear arms scraping didn’t bother me too much cuz I can just slightly push them away from the body when folding but the fact that they fold them before mass production and just say “oh well, good enough, too lazy to make design adjustments” really encapsulates the biggest problem with DJI, which is customer service and quality control which brings me to another point you made about the shipping. I too find it so rediculous that you can’t get their packages held or pre-signed because they don’t even consider how much of a pain it is to adjust your whole day around waiting for a package, especially when it’s a return product for something they didn’t do right, I agree it’s completely rediculous. Thank you for this video you guys, DJI needs to hear all this and hopefully they will realize a chain is only as strong as it’s weakest link, and their customer service and quality control is exactly that, a super weak link in their chain and it’s gone on for too long. It’s the small details that make all the difference.
Thanks. We want to be able to point out the good and the bad. Hopefully in the future they address some of these issues.

Very subjective and picky, it is a great product,I love the bag,keep it small, I never carry the charger in the bag.
First adopters sort out the problems, and the next users get the benefits. First adopters love the challenge of breaking in a new design, and sort out the aftermarket for add ons, like gimbal protectors.
Thanks for the video, I enjoyed it.
Agreed. Love the drone myself but it isn’t perfect.
First adopter were at Mavic 1 Pro tho..This is their second improved mavic.
Manual says to hold drone upside down to put gimbal protector on..just sayin'.
You’re right sir
Some things I agree with that they said. Some I could care less about. The gimbal cover on mine was dislodged when I opened the box and also scratches on the gimbal from it. You’d think with all the removable stickers dji put on the drone they would spend the extra $.02 for some protection on the most important part of the drone. Especially for the price we have to pay!
Bought mine up at Best Buy and was flying 1 hour later. Plus I guess if there was ever issue you could even return it. And I assume prices all the same. What a great upgrade from my phantom 2. Happy flying
Definitely an upgrade over the P2. That was my first DJI too
@#9... I love the fly more bag - If you actually try (like I did), you can fit two batteries on their sides next to each other at the bottom of the storage compartment. Do this first, then put the drone in, the way you did. Then the controller, charging bank, charger and power all fit next to the controller, very neatly. Then my controller tablet holder fits in right outer pocket, spare blades in front with ND filter case and neck strap, and cables etc go inside top of lid. All closes and then I have everything for a job. Note, I did buy the rubber blade protectors for storing the drone without ever damaging them - they were cheap and very nice to use.
One major point to add, when folded and props removed (or not), the motor shaft touches the ground and hold the entire weight of the drone as you lay it down and is prone to do damage
Today is April 27, 2020 and they had a firmware upgrade and now my 2 pro Works perfect. I love my Drone .... I fly every chance I get weather permitting. And I always file a flight plan to be safe. Keep up the good work
It is great drone and the firmware has improved it quite a bit.
Half Chrome , I believe I want to get a second one.
I’m hooked on drones.
Then stay tuned to this channel...
I'd like to see the panning control added to the options for the custom controls. You can move the camera up and down butnot left / right. It can be done via the smartphone App so add it to the options please.
This is probably the best video about mavic2 drones on youtube. Of course these are awesome drones, that's not the point. The point is how we could make these better! This video is like "free consulting", consulting is so valuable for a company, DJI should really see this.
I understand some people can feel offended because have spent lots of money on this drone. I have spent that money too. But from a professional point of view, knowing the limitations of your tool is the key to good planning. You need to know how to overcome the limitations of your tools to provide the best service to you clients. So don't feel ashamed, our 2k drones have limitations. Learn the limitations and learn to deal with it! This is actually what this video is about. So stop saying the authors are "crying", they are simply not. These guys are just professionals.
Thanks
How did it go with the therapist?

Half Chrome....... trying to work out if your glass is half full or half empty ????
It was half empty...now it's full of tears.
FedEx lost a guy's done for two years. Apparently the cargo plane crashed and they got stuck on some remote island. But he got the delivery eventually.
Same thing happened with a volleyball I ordered.
Of course. 🤜
More like three years.
4:39 I'm all in for swappable cameras on drones: traditional cameras, cameras with different lens types, 360° cameras, infrared cameras, night vision cameras, photogrammetry cameras etc... make it happen!...
Heck yeah!
They make that. It’s called the inspire. All u need is a truck full of money.
It's happened. It's called the Inspire 2. It's amazing how spoiled we are. Not 10 years ago we had to rent a helicopter and a good camera for a decent shot that these give. Now we want awesome cameras that fly 7 miles and have interchangeable lenses. The Inspire 2, or even the 1 with the 5S is simply way cheaper than a Red for $50k. For the price of a high price DSLR, you can have a flying machine that has a stabilizer and interchangeable lenses and stops, yet you want it at this price point. Move up to pro drones if you want pro drones. If you want prosumer/consumer drones, you're at the right price point and should be singing the praises of what you get for the money.
I am 80 years old I like taking photos and the idea of a drone being able to go where I cannot walk any longer my walking is okay but I can't go out in the bush and I live in the mountains so I have a lot of bush I would like to take photos and add to my computer the best camera on board
I've made a decision after a few days of looking at all the different pieces of equipment I am going with a platinum 4 Pro I think that has the best camera and will service Mountain that I would like to take pictures of and that's what I do a lot of I have a Canon 5D and I think some of these cameras will do as well I hope because it can go where I am not able to I stay on the road it may be dirt but I'll stay on it I hope all of you find what you're looking for God bless happy Landing
Phantom 4 pro you mean
@@mikepearson3130 yep mike get the phantom 4 pro v2 hands down best image until you spend alot more money to go bigger and more complex.
I am flying a 5D and sony a7r2 and 3 and while the shots with the sony imparticular are stellar it is the biggest ball ache with the big rig.
I also use the phantom 4 pro 2 and the anafi for close survey work.
Here are some techniques you can use *DroneUsers. club*
I went out shopping for a GoPro and ended up with a drone, how did that happen?
Hi guys i have the mavic 2 pro about a week now. My camera is very shaking and i have gimbal overload from the first flights And in the middle of the screen there are some stretches of the video. Please help me
I would contact DJI support
@@HalfChrome I will do this but I was disappointed from the first week
Interesting that you mentioned FedEx. I ordered my M2P on Tuesday with scheduled next day delivery if I ordered within 2hrs and pay $12 xtra for shipping from Amazon. It’s my first ever drone, never even flew one before, so needless to say I was excited yesterday (Wednesday) and it’s even going to be delivered at work so I can show off. About 10am yesterday I get an email, sorry but we can’t meet overnight shipping and will refund your shipping fee and deliver Thursday, today. Great, two day shipping for free. NOT... get another email this morning saying it’s shipped and will be delivered Friday. Time will tell. Meanwhile, I’m watching lots of TH-cam on my new drone that’s not here yet, which is nice.
‘No shipping information’
‘At 10:30 it was in a warehouse in Tennessee’ that sounds like at least SUM info🙄
Customized button for obstacle avoidance ON / OFF! please
Fergus Clark i have obstacle avoidance on/off in my C2 button 🤷🏻♂️
One thing I've noticed is that the shutter reaction time is about double as slow as on the MP1. I did a comparison today and was pretty disappointed. When pushing the shutter button it sounds like the photo is being taken right away but theres a huge lag. Try shooting straight down on a moving car, if you see it on the screen and then push the button the car will be long gone before the photo is taken. On the MP1 its much faster. what makes it even worse is that there in only a 5 shot burst possible on the MP2 opposed to a 7 shot burst on the MP1. And yes, I did try it in MF and AF modes. Any ideas?
I’ll have to look into it
Is that shot of portillos in Elgin Illinois?
You bet
My new pro 2 came with the wrong size controller cable charger. DJI will not send me the correct size and they do not know the item number . I also do not see it in their store! Help..
Witch drone would be the best for your average user
Mavic 2 Zoom
@@HalfChrome witch is better autel evo or mavics
Mavic all the way
The Portillo's in Elgin... Are you guys from the Chicago area, or did you just get some shots while passing through?
Just down the road from Portillos. Love that place.
As of late, I've been coming across a lot of videos that are filmed locally, by locals... I wonder if that's just coincidence or if it's baked into the algorithms?
Anyway, thumbs-up from a more southern suburb. 👍
I get the rubbing arms and the dumb gimbal cover but you guys should have known about Diffraction ;) which Is limited to about f5.6 on the 16mm sensor (or 1" type). The great thing about that camera is you can control the aperture.
Mavic 2 newbee here. I get a sensor error with full right stick forward in both P and S mode. The warning also says "return control stick to center." I thought 'S' mode would disable the sensors, but apparently not. Is there any way around that other than digging into the menu inflight? This is not altitude dependent as it happens at 200' as well as near the ground.
To the folks claiming these boys are TOO PICKY...buckle up buttercups, this is how continuing improvement works!! FEEDBACK, FEEDBACK, FEEDBACK...how is DJI supposed to meet real world requirements, if not for hearing what the expert users are saying???
Very good video, I agree with them, the Mavic 2 Zoom..."I LIKE IT A LOT!!"
Thanks. And they listened.
Personally I normally turn off the sensors and the zoom almost forces auto exposure if you are doing zoom as the exposure changes dramatically. Other than that I love the MPz, the MA, Spark and my EVO. I tossed the gimbal guard and use a foam pad between the camera and body which works much better.
Foam between camera and drone body is a good idea. This bud's fer you sir.
Hi Guys, On the phantom 3 we had the ability to use the ev scroll wheel as a button to switch to shutter speed but we have lost that now and I cannot re assign this option to aC1 or C2 also I cannot find a way to turn off the top avoidance sensor so every time I fly under something low it tries to land. Slao why does the video settings change after you set them in manual then change the flight mode to hyper lapse the shutter and ev etc. change so you have to reset them again before hitting the ok button to start your hyper lapse, very easy to miss and screws up your video as its now over exposed.
All good points
My first drone Mav 2 pro, I love it. But, how do I zoom without flying closer to the object?
That is an option with the zoom. Not the pro
@@HalfChrome is there a zoom or not?
Have you noticed the terrible barrel distortion and the camera dropping issue when you fly straight on the mavic pro 2
No.
Half Chrome put it in sports mode and centre the camera and go forward. The camera will drop . I’ve had 5 with the same issues . I don’t believe that you haven’t seen the barrel distortion.. cheers
I’ll have to take a look
Half Chrome it’s terrible for such an expensive drone!!
Has any of the issues been fixed by now?
Yes. In fact they have. th-cam.com/video/ZBQijix_EFU/w-d-xo.html
I've had my zoom 18 months and am delighted. Yeah, I agree with some of your points, but the biggest to my mind is the con of 'Hasselblad' camera on the pro. Many reports say it's a SONY sensor. Hasselblad were a consultant to DJI, but they've not made the thing themselves. Should say SONY! Compared images with friends who have the pro, and we all agree the zoom produces better images, unless you're into processing RAW format. The zoom lenz is a real bonus (depending on what you're doing). More flexible and cheaper because you're not paying for that 'Hasselblad' badged name licence!!
What I am missing: More options for the 5 way joystick. Left and Right for Aperture control, that's fine. But why I cannot configure exposure time for up and down? This would be just great, since I do 99% still images in manual mode. One stick would control all.
Pleast fix that, DJI!
I put my 2 batteries in the front pocket of the flymore bag. Then I can fit more in the main bag.
Also try buying on Amazon to get better shipping.
Mavic 2 has a black screen issue. No one knows how to fix it. Can someone also show us how to reset the Mavic 2 to factory setting.
Hey what brand and how do I get that drone that is sitting in front of you at the 43 second mark of this video? It has 6 props. If you could let me know ....Thank You Very much
Please sir how can I get the dji 2pro or dji 2 and how much is the cost for each one and how can I get your number
Idk if you guys have ran into this problem but my drone is having connectivity problems with the controller and it wont let me fly
@Half Chorome how do you think the camera mount for mavic 2 zoom is good, because some people say they have camera falling out?
Never heard that. It’s solid.
Would you prefer the Zoom or the Mavic 2 pro.?? I work on windmill turbines and love the Zoom feature, however when I'm home I love photography and cinematic features. I'm havin trouble choosing. I have to have the Zoom feature to keep from getting too close to the windmill blades, but I'm a crystal clear footage kinda guy. What would you prefer out of the 2???
Zoom all the way. It’s crystal clear and shoot better 4K
Good Videos Guys. You should have mention the beeping noise when the battery is on low. There should be a shout off button to just temporary stop the noise at lest until 5Min. when it will worne you again. The noise is annoying and very aggravating! They need to update this beeping noise to customers preference to turn it off when ever they want. Hope they work something out with this. Good job guys.
I have a strange issue I had also with the mavic 1. I got the mavic 2 pro 2 weeks ago. Since then it updated already 3 times to v01.00.02.00. I don't understand why it's keeo doing that. It happend several times when I had the 1 that it keeps updating again and again to the same update.
When you have your mav pro 2 hovering does it fly sort of lopsided? If i stare directly at it as its flying it looks like the right side is heavier than the left??
If is compensating for the wind, yes
Love the case myself.
That’s why the larger dacckit case I’m reviewing is gonna be a free giveaway. I’m not going to use it even as nice as it is.
Fair enough. To each their own.
Sean Ozz I think the case is perfect. I’ve seen a few videos moaning about it, but it’s all down to how you pack it. First I put one battery in the bottom. Then the drone with the camera at the top facing in to the centre of the case. Then the controller at the back above the first battery. Second battery at the front with the back towards the drone and the charger to the left of this. It’s a nice snug fit and the camera is well protected at the top and centre. There is plenty of room in the other pockets for any of the other bits and pieces and the quality of the bag is top notch. It reminds me of an old leather Fuji camera bag I got a few years ago, before they all became nylon and cheap feeling. (I’m not a DJI fanboy, I just like quality “retro” things). 8) It’s also about as compact as it could be, nothing rattling around and a cool German Luftwaffe grey.
Have I missed the place where I can use waypoints on my M2Z? Or did DJI somehow fail to make that important feature available when shooting video?
I agree with most of the points made in this video. I don't agree with some of my fellow viewers who see this as whining about a good product: we as consumers have every right to point out shortcomings of the products we buy with the hope that the manufacturers are paying attention. This goes for a $1000 drone as well as a $1 cat toy.
The point of shipping via FedEx is lost on me for the simple reason that I would never order an expensive electronics device directly from an overseas company. The best point was more programmability of controller keys. I completely agree with the need to be able to turn on and off the obstacle avoidance with a button.
Well done guys.
Thanks.
These are minor issues
Yes they are.
8gb of storage isnt!
Thats a joke!
@@Wazza722 You do know there is an micro SD slot on the bird, yes? The 8GB is just there for a little backup if you forget your SD card. Hardly a joke,
Does the Mavic 2 let you shoot manual camera settings and 4k in quick shot mode? The Mavic Air forces auto 1080p in quick shot modes. Thanks.
Yes
Half Chrome... wife’s not gonna be happy. Your answer means I gotta get a Mavic 2. 😀
Let me double check but I’m pretty sure.
Half Chrome if you could, I would appreciate it.
There isnt 1 problem with it it flys beautify I had it 6 month now and its perfect 👍
It does fly great.
I dont feel like the legs are scratching when it folds, just a snug fit. for me it seems intentional.
I’m not sure why they would want them to stop. Maybe it is. Seems like an odd intentional choice to me
Thanks guy. Great video and I'm glad you pointed out some of these things. I have a question for you all.
I was thinking of getting one of these as I currently I have the Phantom series drones (standard and (a crashed) pro vers 2). After watching the video, it appears DJI cheapen out making this drone. It doesn't look like it's built as strong as the Phantom series, yet the price is about the same for each model. Additionally, the controller looks like a video-game controller, which I can't stand. I'm flying a drone, not playing a PlayStation! What are your thoughts?
From what I understand, the Phantom series is no longer in production. I'm just worried I may have no other option as I've yet to see another company create a flying camera that can produce decent quality images. Is the Mavic 2 PRO it worth it? Any options other than DJI? Any thoughts? Again, great video.
I've watched plenty of videos comparing the Mavic Pro Platinum vs Mavic 2 Zoom and while for $1300 I can get the Platinum and the fly more kit, I can't help but feel that it would make more sense just to get the Zoom with its current tech. As someone who doesn't have a drone, what would you recommend currently?
Back in December I got the Mavic Pro with the fly more kit for around $860. I've not seen it that cheap since then but I have seen it for under $1,000. If you choose to go that route and willing to wait you should be able to find it on sale in the near future. For me having three batteries allowed me to fly longer each time making the learning curve less sleep. It was a big help. On the other hand the zoom with the new upgrades would really be cool. If your one pinning for the newest technology you may need to go that route.
Is there a Dorn camera at $ 80?
I know that it is cheap
But I need it lost for a day..
Subbed! Thanks for this video. Part of me didn't want to click on (since I already purchased the zoom) but that's kind of like not going to the doctor because you don't want to hear why you're sick. All in all I think we all agree that these products are pretty amazing, but every product has some short comings. Thanks for presenting many of them.
Good stuff, guys! Very interesting. Had me thinking (non-owner looking to buy).
Glad to help
regarding the f number on the zoom action: cant one just start with f4 and zoom in to f4 so no change in luminance?
Actual question, regarding #5, don’t all lenses have an f stop where it achieves its maximum sharpness, and then the sharpness falls off in either direction? I did a test with my t3i with the nifty fifty mm lens, and found the max sharpness to be up around f5.6-f8. Is this because my setup was on the low-cost side of things, or is it inherent in all lenses to some degree?
Hey Jeremy. Yes, that’s technically probably true. At low f/numbers more aberrations show up that can affect images in any number of ways. In contrast, with small apertures, diffraction becomes an issue and images lose sharpness all around. My experience with the Mavic 2 Pro is that is really is nice and sharp wide open. The pixels are really small on a 20 MP 1 inch sensor so diffraction becomes a problem pretty much as soon as you stop it down at all. Someone commented that they like the solar glare effect at f/11 but other than that I don’t recommend going past f/5.6. I put on ND filters for video and make small adjustments between f/5.6 and wide open with the aperture.
And yes, it takes higher quality glass to look good at lower f/numbers. Cheers!
My problem with the zoom is the update if u own a android phone u cant update the drone its been 5 weeks i still cant update
Really? I knew iOS was more compatible but that is ridiculous.
Man come on, those DJI drones are amazing, It hurts me seeing all this complaints about it, they are amazing machines, what the hell else you want for that price?, a SpaceX rocket?...
A space rocket for $1500? You crazy
has anyone had the error 200 problem with the mavic? i just came back from holiday and ive never crashed the drone but for some reason it says gimbal dissconected and it wont show any image from the camera?
Bag designed only for flying. For two batteries, remote and drone. Not for chagers or something else. You should leave car charger in car and usually charger at home. And put drone first, then others. When ready to fly pull drone last.

Actually you can pair the custom buttons to the obstacle avoidance because I literally have mine set to do that. Also, some of these complaints are incredibly stupid. The gimbal protector? Seriously? I genuinely believe somebody forced you to make this video and you had no material to come up with, so you complain about things that aren't even functionality based.

The round plastic gimbal guard was just a terrible pain in the ass until I figured out how to do it...then it was easy-peezie. You can attach it with the gimbal in almost any orientation once you realize how they designed it, then it seems almost genius. You just hold it by the globe and see how the gimbal is situated, then orient the cover in the same orientation....and "jacks-a-doughnut" slide it over...twist if needed and lock her down.

When I've got goggles connected to the mp#2 it stops the buttons on the back of the controller working and also makes the the drone spin when you zoom in? Any ideas anyone?
Odd
About the bag: read the manual. You can store two batteries under the flap. Once you know it, the rest is no Tetris anymore.
Yes, you can. It depends on what you want to bring with. It’s still too small for my liking.

@@HalfChrome The bag is perfect for the items its designed for. Thats like buying a Porsche 911 and then complaining that you cant put a sofa in it.

LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! I Saw portillos and I thought to myself maybe you are in Chicago

Im hoping I can pay you a diagnose fee and bring it in as you are local to me. ive spent days now trying to figure out what's happening as I can't connect to dji assistant 2 and my smart controller won't connect to Mavic, otherwise its in beautiful shape
Enjoyed the review guys, good video.
I just bought my first ever drone yesterday mav 2 pro. Good to see what the pros are picking up on.
I’m having so much fun with this drone. I think it’s the best money iv ever spent.
Will sub and keep up with your videos. Thanks
Thanks Stephen😉
The only one i have problem with any DJI drones is i can't afford them😞
Great videos guys. I have multiple DJI drones, and most of them are better then the Pro 2. It's amazing how many Pro 2 owners are trying to justify their purchase. Buyers remorse big-time. PS, you forgot to mention it does not have precision landing.
One more important issue:
Why each time with a new drone we have to buy longer legs ...? Because the drone is too low.
Why cant they from the beginning build longer, but also foldable legs ?
Thats anoying to me.
Agreed. That would be better for taking off grassy surfaces
+1 from me!
Maybe buy other type drone? Not any foldable contraption.
@@JamesIII Inspire 2 would be fine of course 🙂 Alone with a truck to carry thay big black solid case with the drone inside 😀
It’s still a good drone. Nice to be so portable.
My FedEx delivery experience was perfect but I live in a major metropolitan area. From Hong Kong to ATL in 2 business days (Friday to Monday).
Completely agree on the delivery issues with FEDEX - absolutely horrendous settings for delivery and no flexibility. Every shipment from DJI = same thing. Trying to chase the package for days.
I ordered mine 2-14-18 in the morning, and it "shipped" today. I e-mailed them because there's no tracking #, and they told me it's not shipped yet lol. If I didn't get a student discount with DJI, I would have bought from B&H Photo! DJI's order fulfillment service is a joke
Awesome job guys. I'm still on the fence about upgrading from my MavicPro. Not sure if the upgrades are worth the price yet. Still digging my MP . I expected more with less issues
The issues really aren’t bad. The M2 zoom is awesome. But the original Mavic still kicks butt
