I was very pleased with my original Mavic Pro for all my purposes, including aerial still photography and paid real estate video. But when the MA2 was announced with its extended range, vastly improved signal quality, and battery life I pulled the trigger on the Fly More Combo without hesitation. After a week of flying it, having resolved the battery bricking issue, I am simply astounded at what this little thing can do. Whereas the Mavic Pro would lose signal over water and scare the hell out of me, the MA2 is rock solid. I’ve also flown it around and under huge installations made of metal without missing a beat. The peace of mind that signal quality gives, combined with battery life of 30 minutes in windy real world conditions, is worth the switch alone. The only thing that hasn’t been too impressive is the purported 48 megapixel still image quality, which has a waxy, impressionistic quality to it. Being able to switch the gimbal to portrait orientation was also a very nice advantage to the Mavic Pro for shooting aerial stills, so for that I may just keep it around. But that’s a niggle that barely registers as a complaint given all that this machine is capable of.
Hello! I am just curious, is your job doing real estate photography, or is it just a side hustle that they commission you for. I am interested on doing the same thing, I just dont know how to get started.
Sorry to be offtopic but does anybody know a method to get back into an Instagram account? I somehow forgot the login password. I appreciate any tips you can give me
@Derek William thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im trying it out atm. I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
I did an update that seemed to indicate a battery update. But after being fully up to date, my MA2 indeed had 4K quickshot capability as mentioned in Aldryn’s video.
I really hope in Future updates they provide Control Sensitivity Settings for the sticks and the pitch wheel. Also, the Waypoints in Video mode and Sharpness Settings would be awesome.
I like your videos!!! Keep going. My Mavic Air 2 experience. I bought a USA version DJI Mavic Air 2 with Airsense (ADS-B receiver). It's a wonderful drone. Better camera than all other except P4P and MavicPro2. Right now I am oversears stationed at Latin American country. When the last upgade came in, my ADS-B receiver was decommissioned! I called local DJI representative and they told me that was right, they did it. DJI decommissioned all AirSense receivers around the wold (except USA) with this new update, even if you reverse de update it remains off. DJI took my ADS-B away in spite it was bought with it! UK and around the world users, be carefull if you buy a US version to use outside the country (US) thinking you have a capable ADS-B drone, you will end up without it...
Thanks for all the answers. I hope they will make the fly app a little more robust in future updates, but at least the flight characteristics are rock solid, so I'll settle for that right now. Excellent video :)
Not sure if anyone else mentioned this already. But you can adjust gimbal speed. If you gimbal control wheel partway through travel, it will rotate slower than if you rotate to the stop. Just go easy on gimbal control wheel for a slower rotation and set your double tap fn button to bring it up or down as fast as possible.
Another well done video FlytPath. I always look forward to your posts. Too many RUclipsrs waste the viewers time being cute or delaying getting to the point. I appreciate your ability to cram a lot of good info into each video. You respect your audience. Thank you. 👍
Excellent video. Very helpful. Very thorough and professional. You obviously know your drones. I appreciate your concise answers and information delivery. No wasted time. Very well done!
Yo, Flytpath.. thx for the Q&A video on the Mavic Air 2. Very informative. By the way, you can do vertical shots on Mavic Air 2. However, it does on flip the gimbal camera orientation. It is software built. Where it takes 3 photos in session and you get one vertical shot similar to portrait mode.
Great synopsis of the current (and future) features of the Mavic Air 2, Aldryn! I knew a lot of the answers, but there were a few that I was unaware of. Thanks!
Thank you for this video - timely and useful. I'm in the USA and, on my first use of the drone with ADS-B turned on, I almost immediately got an aircraft warning. Sure enough, 30 seconds later I could hear the craft nearby. However, 15 minutes later, a rescue helicopter appeared within 1500 feet of my location and started circling at under 250 feet. That gave no ADS-B warning, oddly. Second point would be that the 4k@60fps video, coded in h.265, is a real challenge for most computers to process. My 2016 vintage MacBook Pro can not handle it. That means using proxy editing in your edit suite.
I am considering getting the Mavic Air 2 but I don't have a computer. Do I need a computer to upgrade the firmware or is there any way i can do it with my phone?
One thing I did notice that the gimbal speed does change depending on what mode you are in. Sport mode the gimbal will move faster, cine mode the gimbal will move slower which will help to get those nice smooth shots.
Quote "A little bit more wind resistance" compared with the mavic mini???!!! Come on! It's a pretty big difference! Actually is a deal breaker the differences between this 2 drones in all most every aspect. My honest opinion.... I have the mini since day 1...Otherwise a big and well deserved like for the amazing content that you provide here! Really good/informative video!
Gimble control is there if you move the wheel slowly: it moves slowly. If you move it fast, the gimble moves fast. It's the same with the control sticks.
Hello Aldryn, Wow, this video is jammed with a lot of answers to questions I seen and heard from friends. Thank you for putting together this jam-packed video, Nicely Done. Wishin you and your family a beautiful and safe Memorial Day Holiday, take care.
You inspire me to produce tighter / cleaner videos ! Long time follower you have been a steady constant providing great content and make learning about this hobby fun ! Thank you 👍🙏🇨🇦 PS. Air-Sense is also available for Canada !
Hi. Thank you for the video. I’m surprised that you didn’t mention the lack of advanced gimbal controls that are present in the DJI Fly app for the Mavic mini but not included for the Mavic Air 2. In your conversations with DJI did this topic ever come up?
Thanks for your quick reply. . 👌. I watched the entire video but my dog needed attention when you went over that part. I should have watched it again. As I just did. It’s different watching on a big screen. The timestamps aren’t shown. 😏. Thanks !
I fly a Hubsan Zino, Mavic Pro, and now my favorite drone, the Mavic Air 2. Still, I’m drawn to consider adding a Mavic Mini to my stable. But is that stepping down? I’d appreciate your thoughts. Thank you. Your fan, Cigar😷👍👍
IMO, it wouldn’t be a “downgrade” if you NEED the added portability, such as if you plan to travel a lot or shoot indoors. However, if you’re just buying it for the same purpose as your air 2 and other drones, I would say it is a downgrade in almost all aspects. Hope this helps.
Cigar Nation Warriors I could only ask “Why?” Between the 3 models you’ve mentioned what could you possibly get that you don’t already have. Maybe the 249 grams and not registering the drone, but otherwise...........
Hi bro. Listen.. I decided to get a mavic air 2 and it's due to arrive any day now. The thing is, for some reason I'm ridiculously anxious. The only drone I've owned before is a Ryze Tello. Will flying air 2 be much of a problem? As I've learned watching so many vids about it and practically all vouch for it's easy-to-fly/beginner friendly characteristics. Should I be concerned anyway..? Thanks for your time and help. YOUR VIDEOS ARE FREAKIN AWESOME!!! Keep up the good work.
Gurung, Mavic Air 2 follows you back and side mostly in active track. Trace is following you where your back is turned. Parallel is following on the side. You can do spotlight mode on an object and follow it and still control the camera as the drone follows the object. Hope this helps.
Good morning Aldryn, thank you for the Q&A. In your opinion, will it be possible to use the smart controller with the touchscreen gestures for the control of the gimbal, as in the phone/ tablet? Thank you, Tim
Great information as always. About the Smart Controller, I know when the firmware is available, they even say soon on the DJI website. What do you think soon means. It's been months now. This is the one thing people are wanting for sure as an update. Why is it taking so long?
Ok. Another question. At around 1:12 in the video, you are demonstrating the Touch camera movement. The Freewell filters? Are they out yet? Did you cover them in a separate video or is that a “Coming soon” topic. Thanks again!
Hi beginner drone flyer here. Had a few questions if you or someone could help, *flying in the back yard today, the wind was very very light a sunny day. I have the Mavic Air 2, for some reason when i moved the stick to go forward against the wind it didn't want to go, it jerked and stopped beeping as if the sensors were telling it not to go forward but nothing was blocking it! It started to land its self go up and down as if it was trying to go over around or under an object. But again nothing was in front of it. When i put it in the air it flew straight ahead about 500 feet & up as i wanted but didn't obey the control to go left while it was in the air... *Also, i ordered two additional batterie, when i take them off the charging pad they make a noise as if they are sparking electricity is the best way i can describe the noise. I have a lipo guard bag i charge them in and am really worried about that sparking noise, even when i pick one up to test it it sounds like it shooting a spark. Actually made the sparing noise enough to here it from about 5-7 feet away from it once it landed *I apologize guys for being so winded here with a thousand questions, but Dji was closed at the time this happened🙂 Hey also wanted to say watching your videos before the drone was delivered following your vids Honestly dude i was able to go right the skies flying! Not a pro "yet" but thanks for your vids they really do help!
Thanks for the video. Very informative. On the Ipad you said that in order to use maps you need a phone connection? My Ipad does not have phone capabilities so are you saying I need to be able to use the Ipad as a phone to have the maps keep updating? I'm kinda confused on that. I currently have a Mavic Air and maps are a problem in some areas. Thanks Again!!
Hello, I know that this video is a few months old, but I just got my Air 2 and a Smart Controller. I love it so far. My question is about the DJI Goggles. You mentioned that you can't use the goggles with the Air 2, but is there a workaround? Meaning, can you use the googles connected to the smart controller while flying the Air 2? Thanks!
Thanks for yet another great informational video. I was wondering if you've compared viewing devices on the Mavic Air 2 (e.g. iPhone 11 Pro Max vs iPad Mini version 5, etc.). I'm trying to increase in size like you did but I'm concerned about the brightness vs sunlight, etc. It seems like the iPhone 11 Pro Max has 770 nits of brightness while the iPad Mini 5 only has 500 nits. Any thoughts or opinions based on your trials would be most appreciated. Thanks again for such an informative channel and for all you do to keep the flying community informed.
Great video as usual. Very informative. Do you know why the video that I shoot on the MA2 is degraded in quality when I post it on FB? Is there a way I can improve the video quality for posting on social media?
Do you know anything about when using quick shot the camera looking completely to the left or right? I've been getting this issue when i try to take off from my hand.
Consider what it is really. People dont really watch drone videos anymore even the 4k ones and you can slide by with a mavic mini if you just wanna post on Facebook.
buy mavic 2 pro and the zoom (both with smart controller). Then buy the phantom 4 with the upgraded controller. Then buy the mavic air 2 fmc. Then buy the mavic mini fmc. this way you get a wide variety of drones to try. I find there is no point to just buy one drone.
Another question on the manual "pointing" of the camera (drag finger on screen). Can I pan the camera to the left lets say 15 degrees, and then have it do a parallel Acutrak on a moving object with the 15 degree camera offset?? This would help keep the drone looking more forward (forward looking sensors) while the camera is looking to the left at the subject and tracking. Less chance of hitting something in front. In the normal parallel mode, doesn't the drone rotate and travel sideways? (no sensor help) Thanks, John
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Aldryn is the best drone/tech channel without a doubt. Aldryn, I recently bought a Mavic Mini and am considering upgrading to the Mavic Air 2. My biggest reasons are for enhanced video features and of course Ocusync. Are these big enough reasons to upgrade for you?
I would include front, back sensors and follow me option available, along with the previous ones mentioned. The best of the mini is it's portability, and I think the camera is amazing, even more if you have a little knowledge in Lightroom software. Also the charging hub is super smart designed. The batteries keep the charge with the time in case you don't use it, making it the always ready drone. With the Air 2 you need to charge the batteries every time you go out with your drone. I think the combination is great, but super expensive hobby. I was planning to sell my mini when I bought the air 2, but I have decided to keep it. It's a great mini drone.
I just purchased a mavic air 2 and sometimes when i power on the remote it start beeping. How can i stop it from beeping? Thank you for videos they really help a lot.
Hey Aldryn, really enjoying your Mavic Air 2 videos.I have a technical question for you: I am shooting mostly 4K 60fps, but for some videos I want the 'cinematic' look of 24fps. My question is, what are your thoughts of filming in 24fps vs. using your post production software to convert native 60fps footage down to 24fps? I'd rather not have to shoot things twice if I can achieve the same look by converting the frame rate of existing 60fps footage...
The app changes so fast... The following SD card works well: Kingston V30 I A1 for 4K (red letters, not blue), mine is 32 Gb, but bigger ones are available.
: With new MA 2, the air data doesn't completely capture the data. When I open the airdate app, I do not get a complete flight path as well as data in the Notifications area and choosing the HD button. Any thoughts?
I was very pleased with my original Mavic Pro for all my purposes, including aerial still photography and paid real estate video. But when the MA2 was announced with its extended range, vastly improved signal quality, and battery life I pulled the trigger on the Fly More Combo without hesitation.
After a week of flying it, having resolved the battery bricking issue, I am simply astounded at what this little thing can do.

This drone is the best of 2020!
I don't see the update on my drone for 4k quick shot . I thought they pulled it back ?
I did an update that seemed to indicate a battery update. But after being fully up to date, my MA2 indeed had 4K quickshot capability as mentioned in Aldryn’s video.
It’s indeed great
Couldn’t agree more.
Got my MA2 a couple days ago. Man this thing is a dream to fly!!! Thanks for all your posts on this drone! Big help!
Best of luck!
I love how detailed your drone reviews are, thanks for sharing
I really hope in Future updates they provide Control Sensitivity Settings for the sticks and the pitch wheel. Also, the Waypoints in Video mode and Sharpness Settings would be awesome.

buy mavic 2 pro and the zoom (both with smart controller). Then buy the phantom 4 with the upgraded controller. Then buy the mavic air 2 fmc. Then buy the mavic mini fmc. this way you get a wide variety of drones to try. I find there is no point to just buy one drone.
Another question on the manual "pointing" of the camera (drag finger on screen). Can I pan the camera to the left lets say 15 degrees, and then have it do a parallel Acutrak on a moving object with the 15 degree camera offset?? This would help keep the drone looking more forward (forward looking sensors) while the camera is looking to the left at the subject and tracking. Less chance of hitting something in front. In the normal parallel mode, doesn't the drone rotate and travel sideways? (no sensor help) Thanks, John
Great question.
very helpful
Glad to hear that
After doing some research online is it permissible to fly at night? Reading a lot of conflicting info
No
Good job and thanks
No problem
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Aldryn is the best drone/tech channel without a doubt.
Aldryn, I recently bought a Mavic Mini and am considering upgrading to the Mavic Air 2. My biggest reasons are for enhanced video features and of course Ocusync. Are these big enough reasons to upgrade for you?
Yup, Ocu and video specs are big
I would include front, back sensors and follow me option available, along with the previous ones mentioned. The best of the mini is it's portability, and I think the camera is amazing, even more if you have a little knowledge in Lightroom software. Also the charging hub is super smart designed. The batteries keep the charge with the time in case you don't use it, making it the always ready drone. With the Air 2 you need to charge the batteries every time you go out with your drone. I think the combination is great, but super expensive hobby. I was planning to sell my mini when I bought the air 2, but I have decided to keep it. It's a great mini drone.
I just purchased a mavic air 2 and sometimes when i power on the remote it start beeping. How can i stop it from beeping? Thank you for videos they really help a lot.
Hey Aldryn, really enjoying your Mavic Air 2 videos.I have a technical question for you: I am shooting mostly 4K 60fps, but for some videos I want the 'cinematic' look of 24fps. My question is, what are your thoughts of filming in 24fps vs. using your post production software to convert native 60fps footage down to 24fps? I'd rather not have to shoot things twice if I can achieve the same look by converting the frame rate of existing 60fps footage...
Useful video, thank you .
Glad it was helpful!
How do you get those chopped up timelines in the video?! Do you get that just from typing the timestamps in the description?
Great vidio are these somewhat waterproof??Incase a rain drop ever hit it????
Did you notice the remote control does NOT make the low battery warning sound?
The app changes so fast... The following SD card works well: Kingston V30 I A1 for 4K (red letters, not blue), mine is 32 Gb, but bigger ones are available.
: With new MA 2, the air data doesn't completely capture the data. When I open the airdate app, I do not get a complete flight path as well as data in the Notifications area and choosing the HD button. Any thoughts?
Love you!
I was looking on how to control the gimbal to go from left to right. Thanks
You bet!
