I bought my first Drone, Mavic of course, three days ago. Been waiting for something smarter than me, at 63 not too hard but I made the right decision finally. But it does so much so a little daunting. I have watched drone and Mavic intro and how to on RUclips till I am going blind. Till I found your Mavic tutorials. Still have many more to go and I am sure to watch a dozen times over again. I had no idea I could make adjustments to the controls. Wow, that's really great and your tutorial on this was great. The factory setting on the gimbal knob was driving me crazy. Thanks Timothy you are doing a great job!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TAKING TIME TO EXPLAIN PROPERLY , YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE THAT TALKS AND EXPLAINS SLOWLY ALL FEATURES. I FINALLY GOT MY SETTINGS RIGHT. AGAIN THANK YOU
Timothy your tutorials and advice on all your videos is fantastic so easy to follow. Couldn't of got so much out of my Mavic without your help. Thanks from Burns country in Scotland.
Have sub'd since you only had 1k followers and man you have grown. Great job. This video specifically is what I was looking for. I didn't even know you could adjust these settings.
Thanks for the recommendations. Any chance of adding a before and after setting flight portion to your video? Would really help the viewer understand what each setting adjustment does to the drone. Looking forward to more videos.
Nice job again Timothy! Love the intro! Seems like yesterday you were trying to break 1000 subscribers now over 15000! Amazing! I will try these settings out. I've tried some in the past and it didn't seem to make a difference to get rid of the jerky pans.
Keep coming back to this every time I get my replacement/repaired drones! Perfectly smooth settings, thanks! Plenty of drone footage on my channel you'll be interested in checking out!
Timothy, your videos are awsome my friend, im not new to drones but im new to the Mavic and your vidoes have taught me sooo much. I will be reccomending your channel to all my friends as a great learning platform. Keep up the good work and thank you from the U.K!!!
I guess DJI removed the Cinematic Modes in the latest GO 4 update (2017.12 - ver. 4.1.22) as I don't have those options in my menu, but it appears it's not really needed in light of your suggested settings. I can see your suggested settings definitely slows camera movement, and that is awesome! It also looks like GO 4 now provides Gimbal auto-centering and also, 3 configuration settings so the PIC can create 3 Gimbal control options? Only guessing as I'm a photographer new to drones but on my test flights, I cringed with the fast camera movements, even when barely touching the scroll wheel! Thanks a lot for the tips Timothy! Well done, and now I have another excuse to take er up again!
Excellent video..This may be a stupid question, but if left in Cinematic mode, those setting are set for fluid movement, however when you switch different flight "modes", (except for Sport, do you , have the same settings regardless of which mode you are in? would enjoy hearing your professional take on that. Very nice video, easily understood as well. Thank you
all good, I was surprised that you dont enable & use the 30 degrees up on the gimbal... Why? bcz I use it all the time and like the effect of seeing the drone lowering with the gimbal tilting up... or have the gimbal tilted up & as i rise have the gimbal lower....
Great videos and content. I notice while filming this video the DJI Go app is in ATTI Mode. When mine is in this mode it keeps talking 'Atti Mode' and annoying when trying to make adjustments. Do you know how to turn this voice off?
Thanks for this great tutorial. How did you enable smart return to home? Noticed on your settings screen you had this toggle but I don't see it in mine. Appreciate your help!
Hi Timothy, I use my I phone & I pad to fly my mavic. I was pleased to see when i adjusted the setting on my i phone my i pad synchronise the new setting. is it the controller that remember the new setting. Keep up the great work your all ways my first point of call. 😺 👍 🚀
Thanks again Timothy! We made a video in the AZ forest last week and heading to Zion tomorrow. Cant wait to see how the new settings go. Do you have any videos on what movie program you use?
Thanks for the vid...Whenever I pan right to left (or vice versa) I notice the panning isn't smooth, it's slightly jerky. Not at the beginning when I pan but as I pan across...which setting will give really smooth right and left? Thanks!...you might want to fix your very first link 🙂
I just did the adjustment from your teaching. Can’t wait to try it this week. I do have a question on the distance the Mavic Pro can do. I do live in a hilling part of Texas and I notice after 2500 feet of distance it loses connection. Is that because of the hills or am I doing something wrong. Thank God for RTH because after I lost signal I hit that button. Lol
Definitely, keep it within range. I always maintain line of sight with the drone and I've never lost it by doing that. Once, I accidentally flew it behind another hill. After my panic attack, it returned home just fine. lol. But still, keep it closer to you. It's actually the law if you're in the States
Do you have an approximate recording time you use for, say, a 16 GB memory card? I'm guessing you probably use a 64 GB card, but I think the 16 is standard for initial purchase.
Hi Timothy thanks for your very clear video, really. Unfortunatelly i couldnt apply those new settings because every time i go back after changing it they come back to the original preset, do you know what's the thing I'm missing or not doing? Thanks in advance
Hey Timothy, great video, I have been wanting to know these tips for awhile, thanks for doing this video. Is there a certain program you use or would recommend to the novice drone pilot to edit videos other than the DJI App? I have iMovie on my Macbook, but was wondering if there is something else that would make editing videos easier ? Thank you and keep the Mavic videos coming, I always look forward to hearing your insight.
I wouldn't follow Timothy and use Final Cut as it is an advanced editor with features you probably will not use as a hobbyist. I strongly recommend Filmora, which is a popular RUclips platform for both Mac and PC. It has features you'll probably never use as well but the basic functionality is superb. I realize your post is months old so I'm not sure you'll see this response, but I've added it for others who may browse here.
Hi Timothy was just wondering do you have to set the EXP settings every time as I am trying to set it up it just keep going back to 0.50 on all three I am clicking on the Complete...👀😎
Hi, Thanks for the tutorial. I was able to follow most of the steps, but I see that few settings have been changed in the latest app v4.1.8. Would you mind updating the settings according to new version in the video description.
Want to start flying my Mavic Pro again. The wheels on the controller are not controlling the gimbal...specifically the tilt control. What am I forgetting?
Hi Tim, I just got my DJI Mavic Pro and am preparing to fly. I'm a bit nervous but tutorials like yours helps a lot. Minor question... What are the blue gloves for and what are they made of. Just curious, Thanks Gary... 8)
haha. it's actually just blue led light from my desk monitor shining on my hand while filming. It was the best way I could film without reflections and glare on the screen.
Haha, I'm just a curious being. That's funny. Love your videos and I have been watching for a while now. You have clear explanations and the ones on camera settings are wonderfully done. Keep it up Tim and I'll be watching... Gary
I thought that for a bit too Gary, so you're not alone!! But I kept looking and i noticed that he had fingernails,so I knew it wasn't gloves! Too funny....
I put my brake at 100. Otherwise the stops are still sudden. Still playing with it though. Also realized that quite a number of screens doing these instructions look different from each other and different from mine... so when the instruction is given it's a little confusing to follow because the wording of the functions are different or they are just absent. What's going on with that?
Thanks Tim - have you done anything on focusing - I presume you just press the screen at your focus target, but are there any settings I should know about.
That's about all there is to the Mavic. Just don't forget to Touch to Focus. I've tried Manual focus but it's super difficult whilst flying. So it's kinda of pointless. I do use focus peaking when I'm shooting still images. That helps me know I'm focussing on the right thing.
just found this video as I pulled my Pro out of mothballs after passing part 107.......tried setting exp but it kept going back to default...so do I need to have controller hooked to drone in order to change settings?
I love all your videos and wanted to let you know how much you've helped me with my Mavic Pro. Question, regarding "color", I see a lot of people saying they shoot in D-Log for better results in post. I know you said you shoot in "Normal". Can you further explain why? Also, when I try to adjust "Anti-Flicker" in the settings your highlighted in this video, I can't change it to 60hz. Thx for your help!!!
Glad the videos are helpful. For me, normal mode allows less color grading in post. If I was a really flat image for lots of color grading, then yes, D-Log is a better option.
Thanks for sharing Tim. What would you recommend for a good anti glare screen for my I-Pad mini? Read there are some bad one out there. Tks. for any help.
Hi Tim. Nice video. Wonder if you can help. Recently my video footage shakes a lot while filming, not constant but it does, cant get make any sense of it. Why do you think it may be?
Your my guru - but my EXP settings would not retain the #'s you suggested,, nor would the others (Sensitivity or Gain). The gimbal settings did cooperate. Must I have app on and drone powered up to make the Exp, Sensitivity & Gain adjustments you recommend?
Wow, your intro is almost exactly like THiNK Media TV. Are you one of his students, or are you just a fan of his videos/advice? You have a great channel by the way. Your content/videos are high quality.
+The Nerdy Engineer Thanks! Yes, I'm a part of his Video Ranking Academy and have studied/implemented his methods. Including my intros. I found it helps me get the point across quicker for the viewer to know exactly what's in the video up front. Thanks for watching!
Ahh, very cool. Yes, I think he has some great tips for making high-quality content. I really like your cartoon avatar! How did you make it? Did you do it yourself, or did you use a service?
My ne Mavic Pro will not allow me to change the attitude, brake or yay. No mechanism (slide bar, keyboard to enter numbers) is seen to change them.When I change the pitch, roll, yaw and vertical (I see the corrected numbers) but when I exit that view and return they are not saved.Between Sensors and Remote control signal lost, Cinimatic is not displayed.Any ideas?
Great insight. I have a P4 but I'm sure some of the same concepts apply. I'd like to know what editing program you use. I have been using RUclips. I've noticed my 4K footage is reduced to 1080p once the edit is complete. That sucks! Thanks for your help
THANKS... Next question, using your Macbook Pro where do you find music that you can use without violating copyright etc when posting on social media and RUclips?
Do we have to do all of this while the controller and app are connected to the mavic? Because I just tried changing some numbers on the app without it connected, and checked a few minutes later and the numbers reset.
I bought my first Drone, Mavic of course, three days ago. Been waiting for something smarter than me, at 63 not too hard but I made the right decision finally.

Glad to help! Check out the over 32 episodes I have on the Mavic Pro. Happy Flying!
Your video was wonderful and to the point, I am a teacher of 56 years! Great Clear instruction! Just got my MAVIC! Have the whole DJI LINE!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TAKING TIME TO EXPLAIN PROPERLY , YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE THAT TALKS AND EXPLAINS SLOWLY ALL FEATURES. I FINALLY GOT MY SETTINGS RIGHT.
AGAIN THANK YOU
So glad to be of help! Be sure and subscribe to the channel!
Hey man after your tutorial settings you should have shown us the result by flying your drone 🙂
You tutorials are extremely easy to understand and and useful. Thank you for the work you do and how helpful you are.
+Dr Dimento thanks for watching and the kind words!
great tips Timothy.. I just dialed them into my drone and I'm stepping out the door to see if they work out.
Timothy your tutorials and advice on all your videos is fantastic so easy to follow. Couldn't of got so much out of my Mavic without your help. Thanks from Burns country in Scotland.
Best tutorial I have seen...and walk thru of the set up was amazing. everyone else just rushes thru the tutorial Keep up the good work
Have sub'd since you only had 1k followers and man you have grown. Great job. This video specifically is what I was looking for. I didn't even know you could adjust these settings.
LOVE the new intro!
Thank you!!
Thank you. I am new to flying and your videos are my go to for any questions.
Hi Tim i love your channel and all of the content regarding the Mavic. I did adjust the settings it works wonderful
Thanks for the recommendations. Any chance of adding a before and after setting flight portion to your video? Would really help the viewer understand what each setting adjustment does to the drone.
Looking forward to more videos.
Brilliant info, just applying the settings now and will give them a test when the weather pics up a bit.
Nice job again Timothy! Love the intro! Seems like yesterday you were trying to break 1000 subscribers now over 15000! Amazing! I will try these settings out. I've tried some in the past and it didn't seem to make a difference to get rid of the jerky pans.
Steve Davies
Putting them to the test right now. Thanks for the tips. Looking forward to checking out your other vids! 👍
Thanks for the settings now goes a lot smoother
great video.i just switched from a P4 to a mavic. was shocked at speed of gimbal tilt . this will help adjusting. thanks
Keep coming back to this every time I get my replacement/repaired drones! Perfectly smooth settings, thanks! Plenty of drone footage on my channel you'll be interested in checking out!
Sweet! Glad to help! Happy flying! 💥👊

As a newbie to drone flying, it was an excellent tutorial . Thank you
Hi cheers for making this video very useful tool .I'm sure lots of people will find it interesting and invaluable like myself . all best.

Great videos and content. I notice while filming this video the DJI Go app is in ATTI Mode. When mine is in this mode it keeps talking 'Atti Mode' and annoying when trying to make adjustments. Do you know how to turn this voice off?
Very useful video
Thank you.
Welldone Tim! Really appreciate the effort for making the video. Keep on rollin'and rockin' man! 😎👍
pitching and rolling :)
Thank you for the informative video.
Thanks for this great tutorial. How did you enable smart return to home? Noticed on your settings screen you had this toggle but I don't see it in mine. Appreciate your help!
Thinking to buy a DJI ,your channel so informative it helped me a lot to make a decision :) keep it up !
I don't know yet. I will try them!
Perfect! Thank you Tim
Great tips.. 👍🏼👍🏼For the new intro. Cool.
Thanks!

very helpfull for me thankx
Thanks these are very helpful
Thanks for sharing
Sure thing! Hope it helps!
Very helpful! Thank you!!
I'm on an android and it doesn't show all your settings. I do have a Gimbal Start/Stop Buffer. No pitch smoothness.
Great video. It was very useful for my mavic pro. Now I bought Phantom 4 pro + v.2.0. and wondering, do you have such a video also for Phantom 4 pro?
I just did the adjustment from your teaching. Can’t wait to try it this week. I do have a question on the distance the Mavic Pro can do. I do live in a hilling part of Texas and I notice after 2500 feet of distance it loses connection. Is that because of the hills or am I doing something wrong.

I use final cut pro x. But iMovie is more simple if that's what you're goin for.

You're awesome best trainer here
yes, they did.
Gracias amigo
Want to start flying my Mavic Pro again. The wheels on the controller are not controlling the gimbal...specifically the tilt control. What am I forgetting?
Would you use the same settings on the P4P to be consistent, or is there a video for the P4P?? Many thanks for awesome videos
+R M video coming very soon :)
Love the intro!!
how about the mavic air, whats the best setting in EXP, I think the default is .40 in all 3 settings. should I change it at 0.25,0.20 and 0.25?
Hi Tim, I just got my DJI Mavic Pro and am preparing to fly. I'm a bit nervous but tutorials like yours helps a lot. Minor question... What are the blue gloves for and what are they made of. Just curious, Thanks Gary... 8)

Hi Timothy. Great tutorial. Please can you advise what version of firmware you have for this video?
Good video keep it up.. like the new intro 👍🏻
Thanks for noticing! Been trying to make it for awhile now and finally had the time to finish it last night!
Looks good worth the effort buddy! 👌🏻
Thanks for sharing Tim. What would you recommend for a good anti glare screen for my I-Pad mini? Read there are some bad one out there. Tks. for any help.

Your my guru - but my EXP settings would not retain the #'s you suggested,, nor would the others (Sensitivity or Gain). The gimbal settings did cooperate. Must I have app on and drone powered up to make the Exp, Sensitivity & Gain adjustments you recommend?
yes, everything should be booted up
Great video but having trouble changing settings with just remote on and not the drone. Is that possible or does drone need to be on to
drone has to be on for the remote to connect to it.. only then you can change the settings

Someone on Twitter made it for me! 👊
When I adjust the gimble pitch my camera moves at the same fast up and down motion. Why wouldn't that change?
I'm always in sport mode chasing jet skis, are boats, dirt bikes and the like. is there a way to adjust yaw speed and sport mode?
Trying to make these adjustments, assuming everything has to be on and connected but the app won't keep any of my changes. Any advice?
My ne Mavic Pro will not allow me to change the attitude, brake or yay. No mechanism (slide bar, keyboard to enter numbers) is seen to change them.When I change the pitch, roll, yaw and vertical (I see the corrected numbers) but when I exit that view and return they are not saved.Between Sensors and Remote control signal lost, Cinimatic is not displayed.Any ideas?
Great video. I can't find anywhere where I can change the camera tilt wheel in the other direction. Wheel left - tilt up. Wheel right - tilt down.
Pretty sure there is only one direction setting for that.
Timothy Sunday Yeah. That's what I am thinking. Mess it up every time I fly. Cheers from Australia
Great insight. I have a P4 but I'm sure some of the same concepts apply. I'd like to know what editing program you use. I have been using RUclips. I've noticed my 4K footage is reduced to 1080p once the edit is complete. That sucks! Thanks for your help
I use Final Cut Pro X on my Macbook Pro. I shoot in 4k and publish in 1080
THANKS... Next question, using your Macbook Pro where do you find music that you can use without violating copyright etc when posting on social media and RUclips?
Dee Trott
There is a channel on RUclips named NCS, look for it.
Thanks!
What about the rest of the advanced gimbal settings?
Thanks !
You're very welcome!
Do we have to do all of this while the controller and app are connected to the mavic? Because I just tried changing some numbers on the app without it connected, and checked a few minutes later and the numbers reset.
Yes, you have to be connected to the mavic
