Dont lose the gratitude about altitude your viewers have grown because of the respectful attitude you pose while educating us at your expense our pleasure ,Ill stay tuned to all and every video just because of the way you carry yourself .Thanks God bless.
Thanks for putting these out. I am a filmmaker and when something new comes out, it usually takes me forever to figure it out. Thanks for making it easy.
Your videos are the best. You have me out every day after work trying all the new functions and options I learned through your instructions!! Thanks Again!!!
Your videos are really awesome. Your down-to-earth style is refreshing and I always come away learning something new. Just think about how many people you are helping here! I hope DJI will throw some products your way for doing these great tutorial. Not sure what type of personal sacrifice (time, money, etc.) you are making to bring us this content, but it is really appreciated.
Thanks for the kind words! Everything on the channel is done out of pocket and no sponsorships yet. I've reached out to DJI as I would love to continue with other models but I haven't heard anything back. I crashed my Mavic this week and I'm just trying to get a replacement right now but so far, haven't been able to get in touch with the right people at DJI that actually value this content enough to help me out. Glad it's helping out so many folks though! I'll be back up and running ASAP
Hi Timothy, Ditto with below but this being said this was my first view. You are a friendly guy and all your instructions are flowing well without hesitations or pauses. Excellent delivery. It is so important to be a subject matter expert when delivering content. Don't leave out your thanks all together. If at the front end make them quick and if at the back end take as long as you take. Remember that at the movie theater some people never leave their seats until the end of the credits me included. Well done.
Constructive feedback: 45 - 60 seconds of welcomes and thank yous and fluff at the beginning of most videos makes your channel difficult to watch content back to back on. You don't need to thank the world at the beginning of every video. Maybe do it at the end if you want? Good content though. :-)
Agreed, we are already here, get right to how to do the waypoint flight, we came here to learn that, not hear a minute of self pro and another few minutes of what we already know, that is, we want to use waypoint mode. Happy your channel is doing well, but you lost me subscribing cause you wont get to the meat of the vid.
Just got my Mavic and had to subscribe to you awesome channel. As a new flier your giving me confidence that I'll be able to get great shots. I think your in East Tennessee, maybe well run into one another. Thanks for the awesome info
Not got mine us Aussies have been screwed by DJI sadly they can not say when I will have mine. They had promised mine by Christmas but that has not happened now they saying mid January sometime. Great product sadly bad supply though seams to be to us aussies as i know of people who have ordered theirs much later than me and they already getting theirs.
Timothy, at 10:09 you state that you would like the setting to remember the positioning of the gimbal which wasn't done in your testing. I've only just found out myself that the DJI GO 4 app *DOES* allow you to do that.... Sort of. Once you have set your waypoints and are initiating play back if you click on the gear icon in upper right (Settings) you have a few options as to how you want the drone to react. They are "Consistent with Record", "Consistent with Route" and "Free Mode". So, as long as you have the drone pointing to your point of interest at each location the "Consistent with Record" option will swing the drone around for you, essentially leaving the operator to do very little in order to record nice, smooth video shots.... except move the gimbal up and down, perhaps. Have yet to try this myself but plan to on next outing.
Thanks for checking the waypoints for us. I didn't know that the waypoints in the DJI app goes smoothly now similar to the curved edged in the Litchi app. The success of your channel is mostly because of your charisma. Just continue to be yourself and all be getting much greater :-)
Many thnaks for axplaination Tim. Very clear and usefull for me. I'm From France, I don't find more clear presentations in my native language on the net. My Mavic will be delivered tomorow, thank to you because I think I'm ready !
Hi Tim, thanks so much for your videos. Amazing job. Thanks to you I've learning so much about my Mavic Pro. Jealous how much space you have for flying. I live in London and it's a nightmare to find a place to fly my drones. So many restrictions. Anyway, keep up the great work. Can't wait for the next video. Greetings from the UK, Annett 🇬🇧🙋🏻
great videos. i haven't orderd my first drone yet, which will be the mavic, but watched all of your videos, to see what it can do. Thank you so much and all the best for you from germany
Hay buddy, have really enjoyed watching the uploads as I am still waiting on my Mavic. I thing its going to get me in the air much quicker as I know what to do with it when it turns up... eventually! Keep up the good work.
Great video as always, thanks. Off topic a bit, being a NEWBIE I would really like to see DJI do a Firmware Update to stop “INITIALIZING” the Mavic if the operator fails to remove the gimbal lock cover! I’ve done it 3 times now. 🧐.
Tim, please do a vid on caching maps. Great videos. Also, let your viewers know many of these modes can be sampled via the simulator. Obviously not like watching your vid but it provides familiarity with same screens you'll see in the real world.
Hey my friend, l like the way you make videos very clear and go straight to the point, l don't understand inglish very good bad l can understand you very well, keep goin
my waypoints don't upload to the Mavic. They did the first time I tried a waypoint mission. But now when I enter waypoints, hit done the message giving your height is in red & the mission upload fails. Anyone have any ideas please
hi tim your videos are great. please can you explain me whats the big difference between tapfly, trace, spotlight and profile mode. thanks a lot and have a great weekend! regards from zurich switzerland, markus
So what you are saying is that we can't program it to adds the active track feature so that it keeps you in the center of the frame as it goes around the waypoints path?
Could you come out with a video comparing the active track feature to the follow me feature? Is there a way that the drone could follow yourself using either of these modes, while the controller is in a backpack or something? Say if your riding a bike and cannot use your hands for the controller?
hi i noticed you used a samsung s7 edge, do you have any problem with the signal? and do you have the dji gimbal os mobile? i want to know if works fine the dji apps, thanks a lot
Great episode! Still havent got my Mavic ;-( But all is well, videos like these ease the pain. Really hoping I get my hands on the Mavic about the end of january at least...I hope?! Thanks for sharing Timothy!
Great reviews Tim, I'm 69 years old and a NewBe to Quads and just got my Mavic on the 14th a couple days ago. I've had a Private Pilot license since I was 24 and in my wildest dreams I never thought I would be able to own something as fun and technically advanced as the Mavic. Ariel photography has been a passion all my life. I got lucky in 1980 when Mt St Helens started blowing out ash and flew down took a great photo then had it made into posters and made more than 10K in two months. I'm now starting all over as a beginner. Keep up your straight to the point informative clips.
Hey Tim - Love the channel and appreciate you sharing your knowledge. Your info has been extremely helpful! Quick question - when I press the C1 button, the RC doesn't seem to be recording waypoints when in waypoint mode. If I tap on my iPhone screen in the DJI Go app - no problem, the waypoint is recorded. Any thoughts on what I might be doing wrong with the C1 button? Is it a single press or a press and hold or a double press? Is their a way to check and see if the C1 button is properly set/programmed in the default mode to enable waypoint setting? Thanks in advance for your help/thoughts Tim. And please keep these videos coming!!!! JohnFort Lauderdale, FL
Thanks for the quick reply Tim. You are correct. But for the benefit of others that might be a little slow like me (ha, ha!) --- and for the benefit of the folks at the dji online tech support who couldn't quite explain this to me either ----- a more detailed answer is that you go the 3 dots in the upper right corner to get into the menu that gets you to the place where you can customize the C1 and C2 buttons. And then you can choose how you would like those buttons to function. There is no "waypoint" choice. You have to choose the "unidentified" option. That is what causes the C1 and C2 buttons to accept and delete waypoints respectively. Thanks again for your great videos! I hope this short follow-up is helpful to some of your other followers like me that might need a bit more direction. All the best! And please keep those videos coming!!!
Timothy, great video! Question: How do you set the distance to each way point? Example, imagine filming a golf course and let's say that on the first hole it's a "dog leg left" and that change of direction occurs 700 feet from the tee box. How do you set the first way point distance to 700 feet? Thx!!!
Hey Timothy I noticed when you had the map view on, that you could see each waypoint, my question is can you change the waypoints on the map (you know shift them onscreen with your finger if you didnt fly the waypoints as you would like?? Good work on the videos
Awesome video.......I went right outside and set it up flawlessly. Got all the way to "fly to start" and push apply and it says "Mission exceeds flight restrictions". Only 35M high and 450M total distance........75M from home?
Hello Timothy. I'm a confused with regards to all the calibrations that are required, some videos show eg calibrations for Compass, Vision Sensors, IMU, And Controller. I understand the Compass calibration and why but not the others as to when the need to be done and how do I know when they need to be done. Thank you so much.
Hi, Tim! I'm a big fan of your videos and from Japan. If you ever had a chance, could you please show us how to do selfie with Mavic Pro? I'm considering taking Mavic Pro to the ocean and I want to keep focusing on myself on the ground while Mavic is flying backward over the ocean. I'd like you to show us safety way as much as possible not to let it fall down. Thanks!
Can't you just program a flight path route w/ waypoints on a map on your phone in advance and then have the Mavic follow this route without having to trace out a route by flying and recording it ahead of time?
I notice that you're using the Samsung S7 Edge. Have you had any problems with that? I heard the S7 Edge was having problems. Keep the great videos coming. I'm really enjoying the series.
I am waiting for my Mavic to arrive. I work at some remote places for my job and I want the mavic to pass the time and to be able to take shots of the construction site from balancing the site through completed construction. My question is…..can I set 1 waypoint at a specific altitude…say 150' directly over the site to grab a picture at the end of every work day? I would like this so I can record locations of underground electrical conduits, piping..ect for future reference should there be future additions. Also at these locations there is typically limited cell service and almost zero internet access. Can I still fly out there and set the waypoint with out any of these? Thanks and keep up the great videos!
you say restart everything in the correct order, but you dont tell us what the correct order is, can you let me know? also, the shutdown order is, phone first, controller 2nd, and drone 3rd? is that correct? thanks
Hey Timothy!!! Love your videos man!! Very informative and well done as always I just got my Mavic the day before thanksgiving... I got the alpine white from Apple. Very cool aircraft!!! I like it a lot better than my P3 4K.
I watched this, then tried Waypoints on my unit, then came back here to find out why I was not successful: I did not click "Done". But there were other questions that I have, which were not covered. Can multiple Waypoint patterns be stored? For example can one set up 3 sets then when the appropriate time comes fly set 2, 1, 3? How does one store Waypoints, then later execute them at a later time (having done other things between save and fly), or is that even possible? I could experiment, but I save time and frustration if you cover it.
What is the point of flying and recording waypoints? Then the Mavice already done with that flight. Recording waypoints prior the flight are more logical? Love your channel!
I'm using samsung s7 edge, but failed to start & upload waypoints mission. contacted DJI support, they said samsung s7 edge incompatible with GO 4 App. is that true?
I have a question is regarding the waypoints, I get an error of loading the waypoints, does anyone else get the same error,. because I can not used the great function, I will apreciate any help. Thanks
Would you be able to make a video on the settings/ program(s) you use to upload your drone footage to RU-vid? Your videos are killer by the way, keep it up!
I just got my mavic and have only taken it up a couple times. Can I move the camera while the drone is stationary or just move the drone to change the angle?
hey is there a feature that can also capture footage of an exact spot while also in the waypoints mode? for example, it just films a certain spot on the ground or down below while doing the waypoints, kind of like mixing point of interest and waypoints at the same time? thanks
Tomothy, great Videos I enjoy really much and learn a lot to fly my DJI Mavic, but I get a failed to start Waypoints Mission, and I already did everything I can, and still getting the same message, Do you have any solution for it.?
