I just discovered your channel last week and have been combing through your videos diligently in preparation for my arrival of my very own hormonal teenager:) I love your content and the sarcastic humor you include in your videos. I'm certain these tips will enable me to hit the ground running when my Mavic Pro arrives. Sorry I didn't purchase through your links, but now that I know a little about how you-tubers make money and how consumers can support your channel, I will definitely be conscious of that the next time I make a purchase:) Good up the good work!!
You are the first person who has that advance settings in gimbal... i don't have the smooth gimbal... I have the same like you and your configuration and the video helps me a lot. Thanx man!
You mentioned accidentally stopping the blades and falling out of the sky. The CSC (Combination Stick Command) bit me once. I was recording for the motorcycle police, and was just hovering while waiting for the instructor to quit talking. I looked up and noticed they were all getting back on their bikes. This was a little ways away from me, so I really didn't hear my drone, andI forgot I was hovering. Out of habit, pulled the sticks down and out to start the blades and take off. Dropped 20 feet instantly, and fortunately, not on a police officer, lol. Cost me $500 for new camera and legs for my Phantom 3 Pro. My Mavic is being delivered by a brown truck today, so I am glad to see it has the CSC for "Breakdown Only" option. Love the vids Ed, thanks!
Thanks for talking about the "Always/Breakdown" part. I don't think I've heard anyone else mention it. Seems like it should be number one on any of the beginner tutorials for the Mavic, or any drone that has that option. You're probably right, many people have probably lost their drones because of this. Also, love your videos. They are the most informative, and you are by far the easiest to learn from. My Mavic should be here within the week, and watching your videos makes me feel like I'm already flying it. I've only had a few minutes on a friends Mavic, but I've got a couple hours on a Phantom 4 at work. I've never had the time to adjust ANY settings, or figure out any Intelligent Flight Modes, but thanks to your channel I think it'll be a walk in the park now!
Hunter F I tried,those,settings and my mavric still turns to,fast in the,air,how do you make your mavric turn,slow in the,air I have tried every setting the exp sentivety and still turns to fast in the air i already made my gimble go up down slowly but I can't get my drone to turn slow in the air
Thank you. I wanted to make adjustments to my settings and you made it very easy to do so. I will test these out today. I now have the knowledge to make adjustments depending on the setting and goals of my projects in the future. Thanks again!
I applaud the work you are doing, Ed! I have been watching most all of your videos and am especially glad that you have posted many of them about the Mavic Pro. I have already made about 6 flights and did see that it was a little abrupt on braking, etc. I went ahead and did the changes that you recommended and will test them out next time I go fly. Not only am I a licensed fixed wing commercial pilot and flight instructor, but found that the quadcopter is almost as much fun. I am really into photography and the Mavic is the perfect match for my dual hobbies!
Best video I have watch so far. I just flew my mavic for the first time yesterday and everything was just too fast and not a smooth look that i was looking for
I ordered the Mavic Pro on Amazon on Jan 3rd. Twice they gave me a delivery date between Feb 3 - Feb 23. They have retracted the delivery dates twice and now shows March 20th as the release date. DJI store now says they ship in a week. Buy from Ed and subscribe. He takes great videos and explains things well. Sorry Ed, I bought mine through the DJI store last week before your link.
Ed Ricker Vlogs - Ed, It should ship from DJI this week since I ordered it from them online last week. I am going to cancel the Amazon order. Thanks for posting your videos. I can tell you have experience in photography and your videos show that. I watched your unboxing. Mine is also a gift to myself. My wife hates it when she finds a gift from Santa to under the tree for me. Last year it was a Gibson Les Paul Custom Silverburst. Santa has a good taste in guitars too. Thanks for sharing your videos and making them entertaining as well as informative. I'll keep recommending them and give you a thumbs up.
How does the drown define (break down) for Urgent Stop mode? I mean you have already kinda talk about the circumstance but is there any document that says when will the drone define itself that's at breakdown mode? Cuz I have it on always active due to I will never flick the control stick to both in or out. I just want to preserve that fails safe kill switch is active at all times.
Hi Jonathan, that's hard to say I guess. I've had to do it once when I crashed it indoors and it worked. It wrecked into the wall and was tumbling around behind a bookshelf and I cut the propellers off. I wonder if we can find a video on RUclips of something testing that function with a drone they don't care about haha! Thanks for watching.
LOL!!!! The beginning of these video is golden. Without a doubt I knew that pain point and got a good laugh. Overall this is a great video. Thanks for sharing!!!!
Hi Ed hope you're doing well ! I was wondering how do you record the screen of your mobile device for this video ? Thank you in advance for your reply !
Thanks Ed. I like the way the videos look. Is there a next opportunity where you can share how you created this look? I have often similar light conditions, but not able to get the nice look you have achieved.
Actually I shot these clips before the filters arrived! It was just a reeeally amazing day after some snowfall with the streaming through the ice on the trees. I used the Beach color scheme (it's changed names now to something else in the Go app). I hope to make a video about video color schemes in the near future, subscribe and stay tuned!
Ed...enjoyed your video! Well thought out and executed...Have you come up with a printable checklist on where you think the settings should be for newbie's like me?
I feel no matter what I adjust those exp settings at it is still too abrupt of a movement. I wish it wasn’t a curve we were adjusting...the Fly app and how u adjust sensitivity is so much better in my opinion. Any thoughts?
At the time I was using a cellphone with a plug that wasn't in the center of the phone, but rather far down to one side. So the included DJI cable for the side port was too short, and I can to reroute it underneath. No other pros or cons though.
Hey thanks for watching! Basically the more you add to the ISO, the more grain shows up in the image...it's best to not shoot with a high ISO. Increasing the ISO is basically enhancing the image brightness within the camera, so that's essentially considered "gain" on some other video cameras.
Sorry Ed... it was perfect... May be the only thing you didn't explain was the issues related with the "GAIN". Someone elese explained them in aonther vblog but not clear at all. Thanks again... and if you discover how GAIN works I'd appreciate if you can share with us your points of view. (It was hectic this week with my projects as an architect! and I couldn't take a look on your channel)
From what I've read, Gain is the automatic aircraft operation, keeping the aircraft in control of itself. So with 100% across the board, you have a perfect hover (or automated flight path via Go App modes). Adding or taking away from the values in Gain will cause it to become unstable in flight, so they should only be adjusted if you already have instability. Sort of a manual way to calibrate the drone if you see it drifting/sinking/whatever without that corresponding human input.
Hey ed is there a way to change the miter readings to feet? Where you showing to place the stop motor in case of problems in ( brake down) that's not on my display screen so I don't know where that is located. Maybe you're using a different app but it's not on my dji go4 app. It shows CSC Moneuver or for use in emergency only. No where does it says or gives the option ( brake down).
Hey, yes there is. I recall being able to press the "..." icon in the Go app menu to select a different unit selection. The Go app updated since I made the video, so the stop motor selections have changed. I'd select Emergency Only, same idea. Thanks!
Are you sure thats the DJI Go 4 app? The reason I ask is because in my DJI Go 4 app (iOS) I don't have that focus/exposure box next to the AE Lock icon. I have it in the old DJI Go app though...so been manly using that for my Mavic.
Gat App Technologies I just checked and there is two Dji go apps for iOS. One is Dji go phantom the other is Dji go Mavic. Either will work with The Mavic (I just checked it out) and they have slightly different terminology and applications. I.e. Dji go phantom will show gentle normal sport in EXP also one says Dji go and the Mavic says dji go 4. Hope this helps.
Yes it happened to me. I got caught in some wires with my mavic 2 pro and I did the big mistake of freaking and both sticks down. I did not mean to do that at all.... It just happened. Had I not I'd not destroyed it. Glad to know I can turn this off. Thanks
Enjoyed your vIdeo, learned a lot. I’ve noticed that certain settings on your remote differ from mine. For instance on the “urgent stop mode” that the rectangular box on your remote says “breakdown “ while mine says “for use in emergencies only” and when you click on the box you can also choose “CSC maneuver .” What is CSC maneuver? There are other areas on your remote that you can make changes to that influence the movement of the drone that don’t exist on mine. By the way I am talking about mavic Pro platinum remote and drone. Thanks .

18 months later and your advice is still pertinent. Thanks. I just got mine last month.
Thank you for presenting in a concise and normal way and not like some of the lunatics that are far too frequent on you tube instructional videos.
Wow, I leaned more in this 6 minute edit than I have scrupulously reading and experimenting for over a month, now. You're, killin' it!
My Mavic now responding much better. I can only thank you for the hours of counseling you've saved.

Love the vids Ed, thanks!
Just got a Mavic, Your videos are by far the most entertaining and the most info given ...Thanks
Good job, you not only explain why but actually explain what is taking place.
Thanks!
Thanks for talking about the "Always/Breakdown" part. I don't think I've heard anyone else mention it. Seems like it should be number one on any of the beginner tutorials for the Mavic, or any drone that has that option. You're probably right, many people have probably lost their drones because of this.
Also, love your videos. They are the most informative, and you are by far the easiest to learn from.

A lot of great information especially the gimbal buffer. I had no idea, very helpful.
Also can move gimble by touchscreen then slide finger up down or left right
First video I've seen talking about the urgent stop mode and some great tips for smooth flying. Thanks.
Excellent!! Loaded with information. I will be watching this video several times to make sure I get all the tips you provide. Thanks!
Great breakdown, love the text overlays explaining each item in practical terms. Keep up the awesome work man!

At 0:21. The robotic turn away and keeping eyes glued to camera has to be funniest part of this video!

Your videos are helping me understand my new Mavic. Thank you
Thanks for watching!
Coolest video tutorial yet I think that is best I have seen for tutorials to date.all best.
That fl gimbal start/stop buffer is a good tip
you explain it in an easy way every user can understand, very good especially for me as a beginner :) thank you
Best intro I have ever seen! I was laughing so hard when your face changed while flying. Keep making more drone videos. They are great!
Thank you very much for making these videos. Educational and entertaining. Much appreciated.
you are the best iv seen you make things look the easy way as im new to all this
Your videos have been very informative and helpful in setting up my new bird. Thanks
Thank you. I wanted to make adjustments to my settings and you made it very easy to do so. I will test these out today. I now have the knowledge to make adjustments depending on the setting and goals of my projects in the future. Thanks again!
Great video! Very helpful!
JUST GOT THE PRO , THIS VID WAS SO HELPFUL THANKS
Great videos on mavic pro, Ed. You are a great help with my new drone.
These are SUPER SUPER HELPFUL!!! THANK YOU!!
Nice intro... Currently researching helpful hints before taking flight. I very much contacted to your presentation, well done!
Well done Ed. I made the changes and looks great.
Great video, answered all the questions i had about the settings on this machine! Thanks

Awesome video ! Got my mavic 2 days ago so im gonna try these settings for some smooth shots :D
Thanks for sharing
Ed great tutorial! I've had my Mavic now for about 2 weeks and using on my first actually gig tomorrow. Really excited to get some great shots!
Super helpful videos! I'm waiting for UPS to deliver my Mavic Pro and feel prepared for flight thanks to your awesome work. Subscribed!

Informative ... good for a safety tip especially 2 sticks put together setting!
Thanks! Definitely!
Love all your videos. Thanks!
Thanks for this.
Just reinsured some of the settings that I've been changing.
Your intro is so funny bro "let's get started" 😂😂
Thanks for the tips it is exactly what I needed.
the new update on urgent stop mode has two totally different selections. no clue which is which though now. any idea?
Since I updated the app, I used whatever choice was in the same place as the last app version haha. So no, not really sure.
Very nice video. You explained everything so well. Thank you.
This was awesome, so easy to follow and understand, cheers
Have you done a mavic pro 2 set up yet
Great video. Short, sweet and to the point. And nice intro too lol Subbed!

Superb instruction. Thx a lot !

thanks
Best introduction EVER.
Superb that, thanks from the UK :)
Thanks so much for these tips Ed. You rock!
Thanks so much for your videos...they're really essential and clear!
It'd great if you could clarify a little bit the "GAIN" issues of MAVIC.
Hey thanks for watching! Basically the more you add to the ISO, the more grain shows up in the image...it's best to not shoot with a high ISO. Increasing the ISO is basically enhancing the image brightness within the camera, so that's essentially considered "gain" on some other video cameras.
...so, how should we adjust the PITCH - ROLL - YAW - VERTICAL for the MAVIC GIMBALL?
Thanks again from Madrid (Spain)
Hey, did you watch the video? Did I explain it well enough or am I confusing you?
Sorry Ed... it was perfect... May be the only thing you didn't explain was the issues related with the "GAIN".
Someone elese explained them in aonther vblog but not clear at all.

Hi, my Mavic Pro acts like a hormonfilled teenager at times. LOL Thanks for the tips! (thumbs up)
Haha glad mine wasn't the only one! Thanks for watching
Magnus Persson - Haha!! Nice analogy! 😂
Ed Ricker Vlogs pleas can you help me to know how to stop charging my phone from the remote control of mavic
I hope I'm correct when saying you nailed the infomercial beginning.
Many thanks for the tips mate!! Heading out now to launch my bird.
HI Ed Ricker can u show us how to set video setting on mavic pro then Grading in premier pro look like this video. :)
it's really cool.
Have you seen this? ruclips.net/video/c0WDl6TudfY/видео.html
As for grading, I don't do very much, most of that is straight out of the Mavic.
Love the intro!
Keep up the great work Ed.
Thanks you Good Job Guy Keep going you got my Subscribe 😉🙌🏽

I found this a really helpful video thankyou
Top stuff Mate I love your presentations very helpful!!!
Ill give you a comment!
... That was an amazing video. Informative. Epic winter forest shots.
Hi Edd any chance of doing an updated version of this ? with updates to the app its changed a little
Brilliant, great start
Thank you for the video. Really nice contribution for the community of the droners :) ;)
