10 Tips For The DJI Mavic Pro 

The tip about turning return to home off when flying indoor no one talked about until now thank you .

After 2 months with my Mavic. It still impresses me every time I fly it. Amazing technology!!

I just got my Mavic that I haven't flew yet. Very usedul info. Thank you very much!

As a new Macic pro platinum owner, I findyour vids very professionel and instructive, Thanks so much

very helpful and informative Video! another small Thing that i didn't know and was very thankful to learn about: for smoother camera movements, you can adjust the gimbal Speed and (especially) the pitch buffer. Looks a lot better in my opinion.

Very helpful video, not everyone knows this info. The simplest things are often pverlooked. Also, Autofocus is enabled now, but its still good to keep an eye on WHERE it focuses.

Nice ..... Got my Mavic Pro few days already and love it, it update immediately the firmware just need to look more further on features on it.

Great tips!! Thank you. I just ordered my DJI Mavic Pro from B&H yesterday.

Thanks boss. had for a bit, but one setting i never changed was the indoors RTH. appreciate the tip. Few years later and still learning things

Great tips👍🏼 I've had mine over a month and still find these helpful. Thanks.

I just got mine a couple days ago. I was nervous flying it after all the issues I've seen on youtube but after watching alot are user error. Like always good video! Thanks

Good point about the registration. If this is your second drone, use the same registration # as the first.

I just got my Mavic Pro about 4 days ago and I was just flying around in my backyard trying to get a feel for it before taking it out in the world when the app crashed and it immediately initiated the RTH sending it straight up into a tree. Pulling down on the stick did nothing and it just started to destroy the tree and eventually went like a missile into the ground. My heart stopped and I stood there looking at what I thought was the quickest $1,000 I have ever lost. Amazingly the Mavic is built very well and other than 2 of my props exploding and some dirt that needed to be cleaned off there wasn't a scratch on it. I spent the next 5 min. going through the menu and looking for that feature to be turned off so that wouldn't happen again. I have since found myself creating a small pre-flight checklist to have with the drone before I set off so I remember to change the settings depending on my location and surroundings. I also suggest that everyone pay the extra $100 for the DJI Care Refresh as that will certainly give you a greater peace of mind when flying.

Thanks for the tips !

Thanks for the review and tips

Another good option for a case is them DJI carrying case for the Mavic. It costs $79 and is also included in the Fly More Combo.

good info thanks. I was wondering about carry on to airplane. so thanks for covering that.

Thanks for the video! Awesome information!

I took the inner molded pieces from the packing the Mavic came in and mounted it in a small hard shell case that has foam rubber in it. There was also extra space for other items such as spare battery, filters and spare blades.

nice video and I am sure that others just as myself found your video very helpful. Thanks

Great video. for the beginner like me is help me a lot. Thank you for sharing.

thank you for tips

Great tips - especially about avoiding hand-catching. Tks.

Great tips thanks !!

I got my Mavic with the fly more combo and it came with a nice bag for it

Thanks for the great advices bro! Greetings from Malaysia

I had an indoor Tripod Mode crash that I mentioned on an early video. Update! They are covering it under warranty and stated, "Warranty per flight data analysis." I really think there could be in issue with the sensors and glass - but thankful of the great support from DJI.

Great video. Thanks for all the tips.

Thanks a lot. Great Videos

I don,t have a drone yet but your tips are usefull for later, please go on with reviews

great videos, finally picking up my mavic tomorrow, cant wait.

Another great video!! We've been filming the SHARK MIGRATION in 4K with the Mavic and we know you guys will enjoy it!!!

I sure am glad you do these videos because I'm one of your followers and a subscriber I just got my Mavic today so I'm turning into what you have to say that'll benefit me so thanks for all the work that you do I really appreciate you

Thank you very much for this video. I am a new Drone Pilot and I purchased the Mavic Pro. I am looking to learn all that I can. Thanks for all your work!

Ready Set Drone very good tips! Just bought mine newbie! Thanks for the tips.

Thank you for the tips. Subscribed. Getting my first and also a Mavic in a few days. Looking forward to the fun.

I love it

Very helpful video. Thank you.

Great tip on the RTH indoors.

So im still waiting on my X-star, ill be getting it either tommorow or the day after. If you'd like, i can tell you how it flies

Great tips!! I have the same case as yours almost identical in every way except it could hold one more battery but I love the backpack style much better than the suitcase Style.. The only problem I have with my landing gear which I haven't used yet is I'm curious if it causes the wind to take it more and decreased battery life? What are your experiences with the landing gear in that regard..

About the charger storing it in the case, turn it around and using a knife cut relief into the foam so it does not the bind wire grommet.

nice video very informative thank you

Hey thanks for the tips...I justtttt got my mavic pro and veryyyy happy.. I'm kinda scared to start up up for the first time. I'm wondering about a fee things before I start up first time. First .. should i use remote only first and then once getbthe hang ..then connect tablet for video and all the fancy stuff....second .I'm wondering about the switch in the side by the sd card. It says wifi/Rc. Wondering what thats for..and when do I mess wirh it. And where does it need to be for startup. And lastly. Is there a video that walks a person like me thru turn on all the way thru to take off and flying.....im.sure I can figure it out but I finally got a mavic and I'll be dammed if I crash it right after I getbit in the air cuz I'm not sure what's going on. Haha. ..so anymore help other than what I've seen from u would be soooooo appreciated...Chris Patterson. Disabled/retired ..p.s...mainly i want to be able to take off and fly and impress my kid ..not crash and get laughed at. Not to mention the money and time it costed me. I'll never get another chance to own one. So I got to be sure and careful!:):) Thanks again

Excellent idea to turn off return to home when indoors! Didn't think of that. What kind of damage would this thing do if you hit the blades with your hands?

great close video words i´d like it congratulations!!!

your spot on there because a few weeks ago I nearly cut the top of my nuckle off very dangerous indeed.

Awesome video

The way you had your landing pad stakes they stick up quite a ways, high enough the rear props will hit them. If you put the stakes in the ground at an angle they won't stick up so high, and is usually easier to push in the ground. I always Move files off my SD card to the computer rather than Copy them, then I never have to worry about "did I copy them or not?" (on PC drag, press Shift, then drop.)

Great, thx for the tips! :D

Not sure if someone has already said this, but you can leave the camera dome on during flight. DJI even recommends leaving it on, there is very very little chance of overheating. Of course you may want to take it off to prevent lense flare.

Another setting to change in dorr is to Tripod mode. Goes much slower and gives you more control, I use it to make group shots see examples a

Very nice and helpful video as I am a rookie...don't have a drone yet but actually may make this my first.

Great tips, as a new user, had my Mavic a week now, and not even taken to the air yet!!! One question, I am coming to US in October (from UK) and want to bring my Mavic (as you have way better beaches, bluer sea's and palm trees), do I need to register with FAA ahead if visiting? Also anyone know if I need to get permission from US customs, etc.

Just my thoughts, this camera does have AFC it’s it automatic, I’m a photographer and many cameras video have auto focus, now if they do it well is in question. I’ll start hitting more often because I’m not really happy with the sharpness of 4K video, even on my DJI Action 2 camera. Too bad DJI most likely won’t update the software anymore for the Mavic Pro, my brother gifted his older drone to me I’m just starting to get into it. Enjoying it a lot.

Great video!!

Also found some cool spring loaded landing gear

formatting the SD card doesn't need to be done every time you erase footage. It is a good practice and it only takes couple minutes to do but it's perfectly fine doing this once a month or so. It'll also prolong the life of your SD card.

Hi can adjustments be made to the Mavic Pro while it 's Flying, for instance stick control sensitivity and gimbal response and exposure

Thanks again for the videos. Just got my mavic pro today. Should I use DJI Go or DJI Go 4 ? I think I have to do a firmware update also because it’s not syncing

thanks

excellent video - from me a complete view - I buy soon Mavic

the gimbal cover has a slit on the side to draw air into the quad. I recommend drilling holes into the bottom of the cover or a single big hole to enhance ventilation. tip: start with a small bit and tape the area to prevent cracking the plastic. I think registration has been waved for hobbiest as of now... this is ONLY what I HEARD I have not researched it yet.

Hi great channel dude, I would like to know whether is the Mavic pro a good first drone for an amateur pilot or not.

Dude - where are you. Looks like Central Texas. Thanks for the tips - good stuff. Just got mine and finding a lot of great info on you tube. Like yours. Appreciate it.

#8 is very important to know.

nice video man!

I have drilled a 20mm hole into the flat right side of the gimbal cover to ensure enough aitflow while the cover is attached.

That is a very interesting little machine.

great video. I do have a question that I can not seem to find. I was going to get a iPod touch 6th gen for the controller so i do not have to take my phone in and out of the controller. I learned that the map option wont work since no GPS. So i was wondering if a old iPhone that has no active service from a cell provider would work to avoid this?

What causes a blurry image on the right side of the frame 12:36-47 ?? Did you see that?? Any way thanks for sharing .

I was kind of hoping you'd show some things you may have tried for the leg extensions you mention in your slide at :38.

Pls can you do a video on a propel drone.

Is the fly more combo bag good?

Great tips thanks for sharing, I am looking to by my first drone and am loving the Mavic pro...

Is this a great drone to start out with? It might be on the expensive side, but would you say someone who don't have a drone and know how to fly this should get it as their first? I'm not quite sure.

This guy is a straight pro

Nice tips but just don't fly indoors. My new Mavic came crashing down within one or two second it took off. I tried to save it by catching it, but was rather too late and one of the propellers took a good chip of my fingernail. I am not sure why it drifted, probably the ambient light is too low for the sensors.

awesome video! thanks so much. how can I get some stickers?

Pretty simplistic tips, maybe worthwhile to beginners.

If you made the landing pad out of antistatic foam, it might eliminate muli pathing errors from the satelite signal.

Thanks for the video. Kind of distracting though when you often look at the camera on your right.

Did you use a plain printed label for your FAA number or something permanent? I'm getting mine soon, and saw where they want you to permanently affix it to the drone, either with a permanent label or engraved and im not too keen on doing that since I might sell it in the future if I upgrade to a better one.

Nice video! Did you notice you have a spot on the top left corner that is out of focus? In this part 12:28 you can see it clearly...

I have a doubt before buying it: the mavic pro was launched in 2016, but i'm thinking about buying this drone in 2018. The doubt if: Will i still have support and will it still be working as it should be in 2020, for example? will i still have the same functionality in the DJI APP, or old drones stop working? Please someone help me.

Buying landing gear I think is a must also. There's not much clearance from the ground to the camera. I prefer the three-piece landing gear.

Another hard case with lock holes can be found at Sam's Club for $ 19.95 ea. The stock number is MJ-5018. At that price I got two!

The RTH settings for indoors was actually pretty useful to learn, most of the other stuff is common sense though.

What's the go to quad Mavic or P4P?

You say take the gimble cover before flying makes senes , but DJI shows their videos with them flying with gimble cover on ? just wondering why would they do that if it's meant to come off?

Where can you order the clear plastic camera protector?

I am so far behind. I just got the pro. I wanted the 3 but can't afford it right now. It has alot of features that are different from my air 2.

Hi thank you four your video I'm lucking on internet to by a camera mudelo is very difficult to find in uk I'm in Jersey uk can you please help me if you can if you now where I can by a new lens ( Mudelo ) many thks Regards

if you're in situation that you think you need to hand-catch, how did you take off in the first place?

You can grab the drone from underneath if you put your fingers under the battery clip. The propellers don't go there and it should be relatively safe

can you tell me about a jjrc H8D drone

Thanks for the helpful tips! However keep in mind that this quad (as most quads do) uses LiPo batteries. Keeping them charged will shorten the lifespan of the batteries, and if you keep them charged in a (possibly hot) car, they can easily puff and be useless, or even be a fire hazard (this case is remote but not impossible).

Ready set drone. Do you think the mavic pro is still worth it in 2019?. Because i'm still saving money for it. Do you think the mavic pro is still worth it?. (Mavic 2. too expensive for me)

Can the mavic fly in -20°C ? And can i fly mavic in snow rain/normal water rain?

Timeless tips
