A legend says you don't keep more or less than 51 drones in your Garage :|
as a new DJI Mavic Pro owner and photographer these "beginners" series really help get the ball rolling......thanks appreciate your inspiration!
Best video out there! Clear, comprehensive, goes over options, and shows the actual app and items we need to select to get the desired results.
I have watched this video twice now. You explain things perfectly! Thanks again!
Russ, i just want to send big thanks from me here in the uk for ALL your tutorials. ive been watching your footage for months and months and today i decided to jump straight in and buy my very first drone. (mavic pro) its a used one but hopefully its as described, fully working order with very little signs of wear. your videos are more watchable and easier to understand than lots of others as most others seem to think its a competition to see who can talk fastest. i'm due to take delivery of mine this week so i'll let you know then how good your tutorials really are. dont worry Russ, if i crash, i'll not blame you!! haha
awesome!
Being new to drones, these older videos are a great help. Thanks Russ. 👍🏼
That was cool, looking forward to trying out the way point mode. Having said that, I'll practice in an open area before getting adventurous. Cheers
I'm planning my second motorcycle trip to the Arctic circle along the Dempster highway. It is such a vast area. This is exactly what I wanted to do. Set a fly path and have the drone cross in front of me as I crest one of those hills and then follow me down the road. I'm buying my drone in a couple of weeks.. so excited. Thanks for what you do.
Thank you for the multitude of extremely informative videos. You are gifted in instructional presentation. Jerry
Can't wait. Your vids are really informative and useful.
Very helpful and clear, Thanks. My Mavic is on order so the help is appreciated.
I agree with what you're doing and am very grateful for that but in my case learning something completely new sometime a little mind boggling.
A few years ago I used to fly fixed wing and that got the adrenaline going, and I dare say that flying the Mavic is a great deal easier than them fixed wings I used to buzz around the flying site,
But nowadays for us oldies things have moved on big time, and I am going to get one of these Mavic Pro as a retirement pressie for me and I'm grateful for any info I can get so I can fly safely and get it back in one piece! And I guess that's what you guys are doing, please keep up the good work and keep making videos for us old boys. Xx
Very informative. Thank you. I'm doing waypoint missions now!!
love your videos!!! I learn from them all the time.
You are doing a terrific job! Bravo!
Precisely what I was looking for!
Awesome vid! Thanks so much, I have something I wanna record later today and the Waypoints mode is going to be the key
Many thanks indeed! A really helpful tutorial, has given me a much better understanding of the waypoints mode and its potential. Impressed to at your remaining battery control and confidence to keep filming your tests! (I have had my mavic for less than a month) Geoff in the UK.
Geoff Harrop Thank you!
very nicely explained have to try that soon
great vid, and that example was really clear, Thanks Man
Great tuition, it's going to take some practise methinks. Ordered my Mavic pro today, should get it tomorrow, I may be pestering you for some more videos. I have learned more from your tuition I think than anyone else in 2 years of flying drones. Keep up the excellent work.
Alan Carter Good for you! thank you! Happy to help
That’s a great idea to do a time lapse of the new road 👍🏼😎
Great video! This is really helpful to me as a newer mavic pro owner learning intelligent modes. You gave a better and simpler explanation than others I've seen. Definately checking out your other videos...
Love to read comments like this! That is my ultimate goal, to help people who are just getting started just like I was almost a year ago!
Thank you for this video. Awsome and clearly explained. Greetings from the netherlands. Hope to laern more form you.
Really late in the piece but just here to say really loving the tutorials on the Mavic pro... just bought a barely used Platinum and absolutely love the thing... Flymore, 4 batteries, cam filters a plenty, mains and car chargers, prop guards, Spare props till 2030!! Hard case... For an absolute bargain.. all she needed was a PC connection and a firmware upgrade lol.. Bargain!!
These things are such a capable and solid drone... Will be for years to come hopefully too!
very instructive . thank you . it is really cool
Great video, finally i understood the modes ;) Thanks men!!
You are welcome! Thanks for watching!
Hey Well done! I have been utilizing LITCHI a whole lot. However I have lost two aircraft now using LITCHI. Both on Waypoint Missions again with LITCHI. So even though you did this with the MAVOC, I am a P4P and P4A owner. In the GO App the waypoint mission will be very similar. So thank you, this was very informative.
Cool. Thx for sharing
Love it I will try today 👍
Great video again
1923bob Thanks Bob!
Thank's for sharing!
I am in Melbourne. When Vicroads start to update the freeway from 4 lines to 5. I was using P3. Now I am using mavic air and they still haven't finished yet.
Great video
Great video, I will practice this today (CWRecord) and tomorrow (CWRoute and Free Mode).
I wrote down your tutorial instructions to take with me. I just got some time today to try. It took a little bit longer for me to follow your tutorial. I do not blame your tutorial at all as I believe it was spot on. What I think may have happened was that we either had a different version (4.x) or OS (iOS vs Android) of the app. When I did mine this morning I was on DJI Go 4.0.8 iOS. The steps you took were in reverse for me, so I had to skip ahead and do your steps in reverse order. Some of the settings you mentioned were named differently in my DJI Go 4 or not there at all. So I took my time trying to match your settings to mine. I was able to create a waypoint driven flight around Mountains Edge Regional Park that can found on my channel.
You know how in your video at 3:11 you started off with get into position, 327 feet, horizon at top of screen, start waypoint settings, then you said to hit C1 -> move into place -> turn left or right with left stick -> focus -> C1 -> back to course -> move to next place and repeat. My app opened to a screen where it made me record the waypoints first, save them, then do the setup settings.
The things that were named differently or not there at all were:
3:59 There was not a gear in the upper right corner, I had a star there. The waypoints settings screen appeared after saving mission.
4:01 "Aircraft heading" was just "Head to:" in my app. The aircraft headings are different- Adjustable Heading, Route-linked heading, Free.
"Flight Mission Complete" was just "Mission Complete" in my app but the settings were the same- land or hover
"Flight Velocity" was just "Speed" in my app, "Apply" was the last option
Then you set the RTH altitude on the next screen, hit apply
The waypoints were then uploaded, you click "Exit", then mission started.
Sorry for the long post, I kept editing until I made it short as possible. This may help someone who might run into the same thing I did. Thanks for videos and keep up the hard work.
Awesome Info, thanks
Thank you for this tutorial
Thanks.. !! I was quite at a loss for this waypoint. your clip was really helpful for me.. !
kangmk 강면규 I am so happy I could help a
Thanks for the video! I haven't tried this yet but will now.
I really do think it's my favorite IFM. I will use it regularly. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Best example and explanation!!
Ocean Kang Thank you very much!
very good, thanks!!
LOL, just seen your comment on my chocolate tea pots - we sell them in the UK : ) Maybe I'll send you one to review : ) Maybe you can tell, flown two days now, 5 batteries, and on the 5th battery I came out of beginner mode. Weather is finally dry after 9 days of rain out of 11. Warm, bit cloudy weekend blue skies from Sunday so we're looking at things like way points - this looks like a cool feature.
thank you, this is very helpful :)
Like your video tutorials, my question is, when setting waypoints , does the mission copy all movements yaw and altitude changes and speed?...Thanx.
Thanks for sharing
My new pro plat arrived today....windiest and wettest day for months. Good to fly tomorrow between 12 and 6 but I am at work. Cant wait to get it in the air!
Congrats!
Thank you for the informational video. As a beginner this has helped tremendously on learning the different functions on the Mavic Pro. Please upload the time lapse video when you finish your production. once again thank you!
You are welcome! I've had some trouble with the Waypoint mode since I updated to the latest firmware. I have just been flying the course manually, so I hope it works out!
While the go app does offer some pretty neat options the waypoint procedure is not near as good as what Litchi has to offer. We are going to Mexico in a few weeks and I have all the missions all setup already using google maps so when I get there I just run the missions without all the fiddling required when using the go app. Just my opinion of course. As alway great video Russ and nice to see you act responsibly regarding the fire etc good job all around.
Got my M 2 pro...:)...love the beginner vids thanks!🤭😱😱👍🏻🤗🤗👌🎓
Awesome!
Very cool ❤
Do you have the final time-lapse of the construction project? Would be neat to see how it came out.
Great Video, Cheers ;)
We live out in the sticks and plan to use the waypoint mode for protecting us and other houses on our road in case of some sort of an emergency. I plan to have it fly at about 75-125ft around our home and then up and down our road taking video. Can you adj. how long it hovers at each waypoint and is there a limit on how many waypoints you can have?
Question: Do you have to record your location or save the date externally to select the correct saved mission on arriving at the same location ? In other words can you name your saved missions
Great job man! Very clear and concise explanation! BTW, what is the a maximum number of waypoints allowed per mission?
Dan Reynolds For some reason I want to say 99, but I'm not sure. I will check!
Hi! Thanks for the video!
Is it possible to fly on the same route/course, without the waypoints? (I will use the waypoints in the future). In summer time a filmed a beautiful forest and now, in autumn, i would like to shot on the exactly same track in order to make (in post production) a dissolve of the two footage! I have a DJi MAVIC PRO PLATINUM. Thanks a lot!
french people like your tutorial. thanks. Luc
Thank you bro
Thanks Ross
Nice info, can we also adjust the height of drone from waypoint to waypoint?
Love the videos, as a new mavic owner i find it hard to follow you through the control menus. If you could slow down between each controller screen so i could have a chance to find my bearings the videos would be even better
FlameMaster G yea me to i will have to wach over and over. its hard for Techy stuff to sink in my head. but i think hes content is good stuff
Very helpful! Thank you
Hi, Great video but you do leave out information which could be very useful. For instance, in free mode how do you control the direction the camera is pointing? If you could update this it would be great.
HNY!
4 month to complete? In the UK that job would take two years. Very helpful and well demonstrated explanation, thank you.
Well it took 4 months to do one side. The other side gets done this Summer!
In India it would take several years, literally several years and during that time there wont be a proper road or anything and the vehicles will be diverted thru a rock road for 5-6 years and then later they will complete. Right now in my city there are half done flyover bridges lying half done for more than 5 years, in the heart of the city.
GREAT VIDEO Review! I bought mavic pro platinum, and i am very exited flying with it. :)) on same day i made my first video, and its not so difficult to fly but also man need some skills :))) ALL recomendation !!! Without FLY MORE COMBO pack its not worth it , its must to have. Have u tested filters from Neewer ? Greeting from Cologne
I have not tried the Neewer filters.
As a beginner, I would like to record my local golf course. That is, I want to take off from the tee with the camera gradually tilting forward as the Mavic goes forward from the tee to record the length of the hole, then go around the green as a point of interest. I would like to do this with waypoints, tripod mode and point of interest all in one. Is this possible. Thank you in advance.
Nice tutorial bro... how do you record your controller screen?
Marlon Gibson With an app called Mobizen, but it's been acting up lately, changing my fps after I upload to the computer.
Hi , i would like to know how to set up the way point to keep the camera on the fix object and keep routing without adjust the camera up and down manually to make a more professional and smooth video?
Cheers mate! How did your idea turn out? Was it successful?
how do you set the waypoints up before going out? How can see the satallite view prior to going to the site?
Hi do you now if the mavic pro is compatible with the Samsung A70. Big thanks keep safe .john 🏴🏴
can I save only a starting point as a favorite? to use it after restarting the aircraft? I need to score a point but the distance is long (5,000 meters)
Great video thank you! Thumbed uppp!!!^_&
Thanks for this tutorial. When you set the waypoint at 6:06, it stores the yaw/rotation. Does it also store the gimbal rotation? E.g., if you had moved the camera to face directly downward, would it remember that movement during the waypoint playback?
perspectivex No. It only stores altitude, and yaw. Thats why I set the camera to the horizon each time before I engage the Waypoint mission.
Can I rename a mission? And Can I delete a mission? I love the show and I have learned alot from you and Ed Ricker. Got my first drone a month ago. Getting a better feel for flying. Thanks brother!
Awesome! You can not rename them, but you can delete them. I would have to check later to remember exactly how.
I would very much like you to do that. I've been googling for quite some time but haven't found a way that would actually work on my Lenovo tablet (Android). I'm using DJI Go 4 app. They claim it's working on iOS.
cool video, gonna try soon this mod....I haveone question:
1.if you start saved wp and mavic is 10m from point 1, it will go at point 1 and start flying to point 2... Is there any option so you can pause the mavic right at that point 1 to hover and wait for event to begin(because if u are not right on the piont 1 and you start, you will lost some time while mavic reach point 1 and start flying waypoints
...sorry if I am complicated :)
zolaneger I know exactly what you mean, and I think the only way to do it is to hit the stop button, fly manually to WP1 and then go back in and start the saved mission. I'm not 100% sure on that, but I think that's the only way.
Great video! Let me ask you something. Can I save more than 1 waypoints route? Thank you from Brazilllll!!
RSA DroneZone Yes. Im not certain of the limit, but I currently have 4 routes saved. What I havent figured out yet though, is how to rename them so its easier to distinguish which is which. Right now it titles them based on dates.
51 Drones, thank you! I´ll try to fly by waypoints and ask some people if they know if we can rename the routes. If I have the answer, I´ll tell you!! By the way, great videos!!!! Thank you!!!
Is it possible to set up a waypoint route using the map whist not flying then save it for later. I think you should be able to. if you can could you do a Video pls?
Can you record waypoints and then have the mavic land at home, then hit start and have it take off and start the route?
Hi.
Great video.
The phone I'm going to use with the controller hasn't a SIM card in it. It's a spare phone. Does this matter.
Do I need to use a phone with a SIM card or not.
Thanks in advance
I believe that in order to utilize the Intelligent Flight Modes that use GPS, you need a phone with a SIM card. I am not positive though. I know that you can still fly without service, it's just limited. I will do some research.
Nice video thanks. Quick question: if I want to do a backwards reveal in waypoints, is that possible? Will the drone know the direction it is flying between the waypoints?
mdmcfp You can do backwards reveal if you either set that position when you set the waypoint or with Free Mode. You could run an entire mission facing backwards as long as that's how the heading is set when you lock in the waypoint.
Thanks I will give it a try!
I got a question for you about waypoints that no one else seems to know. I recently played with Waypoints for the first time (2 Million feet and finally playing... ) Set up a quick mission, flew it a couple of times, Discontinued the flights and flew around some more. I get home and was looking at my flight records and on every Waypoint trip, there is nothing recorded on the log. It shows a short flight out and then Nothing. The next record is sometime later and shows origination in midair. Both End and start appear to be close to the start of the waypoint. I made the mistake of posting to the DJI official forum and I've gotten everything about how the video is broken in part due to the format style of the SD. Nothing to do with the flight record. I've examined the flight through PhantomHelp and it shows nothing. I was wondering since you did the tutorial, did anything happen to your logs??
Hi,
Nice video.
If you alter altitude in between way points when setting them will it also slowly change during flight to get that cinematic look?
Hey Scott! Great question, and one that I regrettably wish I would have answered in this video, so I created this one as a response to your question! czcams.com/video/mwDkchLfwvE/video.html
Thanks for that quite impressive.
You bet!
Have you heard of the Litchi app? If so it would be great if you could do a tutorial. There are a few vids and none of them are that great! They are all pretty generic. Please help!
Any updates to the road/multiple passes with progression? Thanks for sharing!
Just shot another one today. I lost a few of them, but I still have a few that shows the progession. Completion will be October 28th!
Any chance your were able to put something together? Cheers!
Your fire photo is very very important drones can help. In India the farmers gets compensation for fire in its neighbours field even after the wheat has been harvested 1 week back.
ok can you land it in a different location and the hit the go home will it returned to we're you are at
If a waypoint is at a different height to the previous one, does the Mavic climb during the journey or does it get to the waypoint and then adjust the altitude?
Can you get it to pause so you can take a photo from a set waypoint? I’m thinking of using it for time lapse photography for a building project...
By the way, how did the highway project come out?
It climbs during the mission. You can not pause a mission once it has started. They are still working on it. I got some footage of it the other day. I plan to post an update soon!
Helpful video, however, I can't seem to set any waypoints further than 500m from takeoff point. How did you manage to change this setting?
I have no idea. Lol. It just worked.
Wish it did for me! Maybe your firmware is older? If so, you may not want to update. And I might like to rollback.
Did you ever get a good timelapse of the highway construction?
They are still working on it! I lost some footage, so it won't be great, but I hope to get it completed in November.
I literally hate it when I lose footage or write over a memory card of construction progress. It's key to stay consistent, but things happen! But you have the before footage and thats all that really matters! @@51Drones
Is there a way to adjust the height of the drone once you record your last way point before it automatically returns to the 1st way point?? I crashed my drone into a tree today because it started to return to the 1st way point before I could hit stop at a height that wasn't above the trees because I wanted lower attitude for the video. I also tried to raise the drone with the left stick when I was trying to save it and that didn't work. It would be great if the drone would go to the RTH before traveling back to that 1st way point.
Nope. Once you hit apply, it will fly at the current altitude. Yes, it would be nice if it went up first.
Great video! How did your 2-lane to 4-lane video turn out?
Doug Robinson They are still working on it, but my waypoints mode has not been working since I updated to the latest firmware. 😒
Just got a mavic and I am wary of updating to the new firmware. Heard it restricts the mavic quite abit with not much improvements. And i would love to try waypoints.
Yes, I would wait. I still can't run Waypoints Mode. The fix has to be coming soon!
i can create a new waypoint mission and fly it but it wont save! All i see under saved missions is my first attempt.
A. I missing something or is this due to problems since the last update? Thanks.
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
great very helpful
question I have, will an update in drone, app or phone erase my waypoints missions, ( ya know , like the weekly friking DJI updates)?..im thinking of doing the same..but for an orchard.
No, I have not experienced that.
Is there a way to name the saved missions? And can you update us on the road building project?
cheers
No you can't, unfortunately. And yes, I think I will do that. They sure are taking their time!
Hi..what is safest or highest height and how far can mavic go? Im new with mavic. All these while im into parrot. All type of parrot products. I flew the mavic twice now and straight away i can feel the difference but i do not wanna go crazy with it. Any tips that i may encounter? Thanks.
First thing I would do is watch ALL of my videos on the Mavic. :-) Then, don't fly above 400'. It can high. Really high. But don't. Just my advice.
Question... In the video, you said that when running a saved waypoint course, it uploads it to the Mavic.. Does this mean it will then run the course, even if the controller is switched off, or loses contact?
What a great question! I don't know, but now I want to find out! I'll get back to ya!
My screen said, "Missions continue even if Remote Controller signal is lost". It also said "Aircraft will return to Home Point if Low Battery Return-to-Home is triggered. Set Suitable Return-to-Home Altitude to ensure safety." on another screen.
How many way points can you have and can you change altitude within the route? Thanks Bud.
I believe it's 99, but I'm not positive.
Hi got a question in waypoints mode do you have to have your drone in the air !
Yep.
