Did you enjoy this video?! If so, this small RU-vidr would really appreciate it if you’d Subscribe! Plus, you’ll get to see every new video I release 😉 Thanks for watching!
I know im randomly asking but does any of you know of a trick to get back into an Instagram account?? I somehow forgot my login password. I appreciate any tricks you can give me
Can't understand why this video doesn't have more likes - this is positively the most comprehensive and easy to digest video for drone newbies I have seen yet. Thanks Connor!
I can answer that from me, I dont like having my like videos cluttered because the saved s videos option doesn't feel good to me at all and I'm like 7 years into saving videos id have to switch over
I didn't have to charge the batteries one by one the first time. They charged in the 3 dock charger not all at once but sequentially. It is the best drone I've ever flown
@@ConnorRickey I bought a charging dock for my DJI Spark that can charge 4 batteries and a rechargeable controller at the same time. Bought one from the same company for the Mavic Air 2. Much better than the charger that comes with it. At 35 bucks it's a heck of a buy
Rickey, in the compass calibration, DJI says you have to keep the drone vertical and then rotate it 360 degrees in the longitudinal axis. I can really see that you rotate the drone on the side and then rotate the drone 360 degrees. It is not prescribed that way!
Yep, I agree. I'm about ready to pull the trigger on the Mavic and I also am in agreement with others. I appreciate your to the point video. The most helpful that I've seen so far. Thanks!!
Thank you. As someone whose used a DSLR for still photography for years but hasn't done much with video since the time of mini-DV tapes and Firewire 400, this was a huge help. Loving my new Air 2S - I've wanted a drone for YEARS and was considering the Mavic Pro 2, but the Air 2S checks most of my boxes. These things have come a long ways since when they first started being a thing!
Great presentation 👍 however only part I’m unsure about is turning phone airplane mode on. What happens if a emergency happens away from you, and you can’t be reached ?
Am new here. About to purchase my first drone and what you thought me is very interested. Appreciate the time and effort you took to go through it. You should be a teacher.
Excellent video! Hits on all the basics and explains so much of what this rig is capable of. Even dives into some of the camera settings which most videos do not. Thank you!
Fantastic video! I love your channel. The video was super straight forward and helpful especially for someone like me that has used a drone before so is *obviously* not gonna read the setup guide, but still should learn from others' experiences. Subscribed!
For some reason, I do not have the small icon in the lower center of the screen. That is the remote to drone feature.. I had it and then it disappeared. Does anyone know how to get it back?
You’ve greatly improved my quality of videos I’m goin to start filming more now as I feel more comfortable doing so ! I sure do appreciate it bro! Keep up the good work
I haven’t had mine for too long, but it is my observation that it only charges one battery at a time when it is on the hub. It also seems to charge the most charged battery first, and the placement on the board does not matter. When one gets full, it moves to the next one.
Hello, Dudu, we have DJI UAV Intelligent Flight Battery Accessory Charging Stand for Mavic AIR2, AIR2S, which support Type-C Interface, it is very convenience for outdoor, are you interesting to try?
Awesome video and tons of information! Just wondering is D-Cinelike image just a flatter footage or does it store more information like RAW format for images? I sometimes edit and correct images on my phone and iPad so was wondering if keeping it normal would be the best way forward. Thanks in advance 🙏
Awesome video. Why do you think I continue to get choppy video, or my video keeps freezing on me? I've changed the SD cards a few times already. I've even tried a different phone. I just keep getting bad videos and don't know how to fix it. I appreciate the help and time. Thanks
@@MrRaymond1021 Email hello@connorrickey.com and we'll send it to you. Make sure your shutter speed is 1/50 if you're shooting in 24p. Or 1/60 if filming in 30p. Shutter speed needs to be DOUBLE (or very close) your frame rate. If not, it'll look choppy like you are describing to me.
Just a question - does using airplane mode mean less demands on the iphone battery? I find my 6S getting very low ie 80% to 20% after a few short flights.
I’m sure it could help, I’m unsure about how much.. that’s quite the battery drain! Maybe consider upgrading phones, or get a portable battery pack to charge with in between flights? I believe the controller will charge your phone. But maybe that’s only on the Mavic pro and 2S.
The thing is - color grading is more of an advanced topic itself. So not many beginner platforms have good color grading options. I think iMovie has some basic functions if you’re on Mac.
Thumb Zupped and Sub'd Dude - jury still out on Mini 2 vs Air 2 but as a photographer the Air 2 definitely has best bang for buck i'd say.The stress is palpable to the point that i'm having to wax lyrical : What is this life if, full of care, We have no time to stand and stare. No time to stand beneath the boughs And stare as long as sheep or cows. No time to see, when woods we pass, Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass. No time to see, in broad daylight, Streams full of stars, like skies at night. No time to ponder Air or Mini Which one will i take for a ' spinny ' ? No time to turn at Beauty's glance, And watch her feet, how they can dance. No time to wait till her mouth can Enrich that smile her eyes began. A poor life this if, full of care, We have no time to stand and stare. Pukkha review, so i thank you !
I haven’t personally been able to fly a Mavic Mini 2 yet. Thinking about ordering one soon though! I can say - the Mavic air 2 is much quieter and less annoying than the Mavic air 1.
first of all thank you soo much, for this explanation about film/pic. rates..Now I understand something and its logic to me..i will sure keep this video & Big Like & Subscribe to..i agree you deserve milj.+ Sub.& Likes ! keep doing those vids pls .. have a good day :]
All these tips and you can't hold the drone the correct way doing the calibration. Can't sit there and tell people to always calibrate it, when you don't even do it correctly lol
Very good video. Can u make a color grading in Davinci Resolve, too? That will be great! Until now I use the normal mode at the Mavic Air 2, but I will change to D-Cinelike.

The best thing is that as of 2023, the Mavic Air 2/S now works with the RM 500 Smart Controller, which really ups the game! I love my Mini 2 and Air 2.
Connor, Awesome man, Just purchased the Air 2 and been watching lots of videos to get up to speed before the maiden flight and yours had been the best. Great work, Big Thank You
Same here. Just did this last night. Not sire what he’s talking about. It charges one at a time, but you don’t have to monitor them and swap out as they finish.
I have my gimbal setting for tripod mode set very slow (can’t remember the exact number, away from my drone for the next few days). That’s because when I’m in that mode I’m usually shooting for those slow, cinematic movements. Then normal and sport mode I leave as it comes from DJI since if I’m flying the drone faster, I’m usually doing quicker gimbal pans for a more dramatic shot.
I have watched sooooo many video's and this is by Far the best one! Thank you for making it easy, I'm new to drones and am a slow learner because I'm so nervous to break it.
...AND REMEMBER when you change the ND filter on the camera you have to TWIST counter (anti) clockwise to release the lens cover (or filter). DO NOT pull on the filter straight out or you will break it. 2. only use .mov if you use apple. It's a format not entirely compression. 3. If you have a high end GPU .h265 video files are half the size with the same quality for 4K. Older GPUs might have issues playing these back.
I got the Air 2 to play with and learn until the Mavic 3 arrives in early spring. I hear both good and bad about it, but we will have to wait until it arrives on the shelves to know for sure what it is... I want a better camera and 360-degree sensors so I can fly with less strain on the nerves...
I'm a first-time I'm a first-time flyer I literally just took my drone out I just took my phone out the box after watching your still haven't gone any distance but what I've learned has built up my confidence
HELP#. Hi Drone Masters!. Can I effectively use the "RTH" on a Mavic Mini-2 using a (WI-FI ONLY iPad), or Do I need to buy the (WI-FI + CELLULAR iPad)?
regarding calibration, when I first got my drone I'd do the twist and rotate routine, but soon realized the drone would orientate itself, it sets the new Return to home by itself.
That can't possibly be the correct way to calibrate the compass! I have seen others on RU-vid do it, and they flip the drone vertically and spin it as it is shown in the diagram. Alternatively, I have also turned it fully, until I saw the way Dustin Dunnill do it to his drones. However, you don't even have the drone in the position that is shown in the diagram. This can't be good to the flight characteristics. Also, why don't you have more options regarding the video settings? Have you updated your software and firmware? There is 4k zoom available now in DJI fly, why is it not showing in your settings?
As I mentioned in the video, there are more details I could have gone into. These are just the main / most basic ones to get a beginner off the ground and capturing cinematic footage. Maybe I’ll make an advanced / deep dive version in the future. I have not noticed any weird flight characteristics. The MA2 has flown flawlessly for me. Thanks for watching!
New subscriber here...great video! As someone who is about to buy a Mavic Air 2, your video was so helpful. Even things like charging the batteries individually...haven't seen that on any other video! The color grading tutorial was super easy to understand as well! Hopefully this will take my videos to the next level! Thanks bud!
The quality of this video is on par with the biggest channels on RU-vid, very clear and straightforward, learned a lot in this video. Great job with the video and you earned a sub 👏🏽.
