One of the biggest "Must Know's" is that they're illegal to fly almost everywhere. You can consider a drone to basically be a gun with regard to where you can use it. I was going to get one to pursue car prowlers and lead the cops to them, until I found out that was illegal, lololmao. Hard to see how a market for drones survives when they're illegal almost everywhere. Then again, there are over 100 million guns in circulation.
it has only 25 minutes of playtime, because DJI mentions its props are designed to fly straight forward, so holding position and hovering is actually more energy intensive than forward flying
Great video. I'm 73, retired and my Mavic Pro and now my Mavic 2 Pro travel with me on my Tiger Explorer 1200. Life is good. Thanks for the tip about letting it get used to your hand for in-hand landings. Obvious in hindsight.
I had a major shoulder surgery that took my ability to continue racing dirtbikes and also took away any extra money that i had as its all going towards medical bills. I transitioned into live announcing for a couple different race series and would absolutely love to be able to have a drone to capture the events and keep the memories that help me stay involved in racing!
I'm watching a whole lot of videos on the Mavic 2 Pro because I can't decided whether I should get one or not, but your video is my favorite and you've sold me on it! You're a great product reviewer. Love your other videos, too. Keep up the awesome work you do!
@Shane Chuck Also, some drones do not require registration in most states. They should specify. I have a $40 drone that is legal in most places because it is so small.
you can actually decide what you want your drone to do when it looses connection because there might situations where you don´t want it to fly back (maybe because you are in the car driving somewhere and you want the drone to follow you) in which case you can have it hover in set height. Anyway as you mentioned, i got this drone because of the camera specs and I have to say the drone is as good as I thought it would be. Flying it for the first time was so easy and intuitive.
Dude, this video is amazing! I’d say it’s the first proper review i’ve seen in a while. The unexpected stuff is really fun and you stick with the info that matters. How would I expect to see someone air blowing a mavic and a phantom indoors? This is one of the tiny few times I subscribe to a channel just by seeing a video within the relevant tab.
The best video I've seen on the Mavic Pro. Great information delivered a rapid speed without any boring pauses. You're an excellent speaker with your ability to talk quickly and make yourself understood. I like the fact that there is a young person out there that does not use the word "like" every 5 seconds. Great job.
Make sure that you know the application of your drone. The zoom was not fully intended for cinimatoghrapy. My friends dad uses it for inspection services and it’s extremely useful
Just sold me on the Pro for our wedding. What a great intro to drone flying and making it feel safe for complete noobs! So stoked to try and find places safe to fly and have it track me on my motorcycle too. Thanks my dude!!
I must have been living Under a rock, just found Your channel. Love the Content dude. I had fun, Aswel as being sold on the Mavic pro 2. Great video 👌👍
Good review Potato Jet! Bought the Phantom 4, 2.5 months ago and im waiting for a replacement from DJI as i drowned it in the salty water of Pleasant Bay, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia Canada a few weeks ago. Thankfully i had purchased the DJI Care Refresh. If i were to buy today 2.5 months later, it would be the Mavic 2Pro. Thanks PJ
This is the first video I've seen of yours and I just want to say you did an absolutely fantastic job reviewing the drone. Thank you! I'm very appreciative to find thorough and high-quality review videos such as yours.
Oh GOD, thank you! I was going crazy in which Drone to choose, Just Pro or Zoom, but since it is possible to do this Dolly Zoom in Premiere - I can finally order Mavic Pro 2 and sleep well! THANK YOU; MAN!!!
Thanks for doing the test for us. I bought the P4P2.0 not knowing that DJI had plans of coming up with the M2P. I felt bad because I couldn't return my P4P2.0 by the time the M2P came out. But after watching this video with all the tests, I'm happy with my P4P2.0.
I've been eyeballing the Mavic 2 pro and the Phantom 4 and so far your review is the most informative one yet! The Mavic is the way to go. Now if I just had some money to buy a drone...
I’ve only recently started watching your videos and I gotta say I love it. I normally focus on doing photography but watching your videos makes me want to start doing cinematography
We've come so far with drones, when I graduated from my technical school 7 years ago, one of the projects from friends of mine was building a drone using one of these sets which was one of the only way to get them and then program an app to control it via iPad. Another friend of mine had the first Parrot drone, but man those were so much worse than the drones we have now.
genuinely love your channel potato. the way you narrate is super chill and a pleasure to listen. the editing is on point not a second lost and the rhythm is so smooth. keep up the good work
I've been watching since around 50K and been loving your videos, especially the "$94 Camera | Can it shoot cinematic video" vi., It was really great and made me start using my first ever camera (a Canon Powershot a495 which costs around £30 second hand these days) again for casual video and photo shooting, to see what I could get with a crappy camera xD. I'd absolutely LOVE a Mavic Pro 2 as the only drone I have is a Bebop 2, which is quite crap. I'd love being able to shoot HI-RES raw photos, not like the crappy output of my Bebop, and the 1-inch sensor would be fantastic for low light photography and videography. Here in London with limited observatories and things of that nature a Mavic Pro 2 would be a dream come true. Hopefully I can win it xD
Thanks to both you and Chris for making this particular episode. I'm a done beginner (but long time RC racer) and couldn't choose between the Mavic2 and the Phantom4 as we have more windy days than calm here. After watching your collab with Chris where he speaks about the weight of the Phantom being cancelled out by it Sail-Area that , its an easy choice to go for the Mavic 2 Pro. That goes double as I ride a bike too and will need to take it with me when I ride to a job. Thanks Again fellers! Open Sky!
The bad things about Mavic 2 pro the barrel distortion in log mode not using the whole sensor, it is instead using line skipping to avoid sensor overheat, cousing not the sharpest image. Even the spark is sharper right now.
Guys I've bought Mavic 2 Pro and I'm sorry for my words. Ok, sharpness is not as good as in P4P, but damn... 10bit and LOG is amazing, and distorion is quite easy to fix in post ;)
Just happened to stumble onto this video and really like the way you explain everything. Left me wanting to know more. Trying to decide which drone to purchase. Have never even seen a drone firsthand. This one looks pretty easy to use. Any suggestions for a first time buyer? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
That's so cool,seeing two buddy grandpas who are definitely interested to buy drones that i know they could easily afford,cause they accomplished already( I assumed) what a husband,a father and to himself to be in their lives..Good job Potatoe Jet for giving them updated to the technology!!
I have a question... Ive been into photography and film making since i was eleven and i was wondering what canera would be good to start with. i have a budget of 400 dollars. So can you guys recommend me some?
@@toriless Gear snobbery may make you feel better about yourself but it wont help the OP, there are many DSLRs that can be picked up for under 400 I know because that about the budget I started with.
You were talking about how the camera needs to be smoother in cinematic mode. You can edit that if you go to gimbal settings and then into advanced. Then you will be able to adjust the max gimbal speed and the smoothness of it. Enjoy!
Hey Potato Your review is not that serious but you still managed to convey what's important. I'm currently rockin' the original beat up Mavic pro and need an upgrade for that low light performance. Hook me up dude.👊🏻
A VERY VERY valuable thing to know. But you'll only need it if you've screwed up and it's a semi-emergency. If you've gotten too far away, and the battery is so low it's doing a forced landing: You can over-ride the decent with up throttle. So you CAN force it to keep flying until the drone literally falls out of the sky. This can buy you a couple hundred yards. But know that very soon the drone is going to fall out of the sky. If you're 50' high, you'll do some damage. If you DON'T do this over-ride, the drone will decend under control and land gracefully. If this is in water or on the other side of a cliff, the exrra distance can save the drone. It's just something to know for a situation that you shouldn't get into.
Is it really impossible to fly a drone in LA????? Wow! That's amazing. I hope politicians ruin this beautiful hobby. Thanks for a great page! LOoking for you on Instagram
Followed you on ig and been subscribed here! So much good info here and in an entertaining way that I sent this video to my gf so she knows why I'm so excited about drones and been wanting to get my first one so bad hahah! I'd love to do some piano music + drone scenery footage on my channel and try something new and creative and hopefully bring it back to life soon
Get yourself a DJI Smart Controller and pair it with a set of Epson Moverio BT-35E Augmented Reality glasses. That setup takes flying the Mavic 2 Pro to another level.
I have the Yuneec 500 and it barely flies in the wind. This is a great alternative. Lawrence V Webster, author of Yellow Beard & The Curse of The Bloodline!
i was actually in doubt on whether to buy the pro or zoom, for the dolly zoom effect. im a sucker for the dolly zoom lol love it, but you made such a good point on not wanting to over do it and if you look it like that id rather have better quality 24/7 than having a drone dolly zoom every once in a while
I’ve been thinking of getting one for my wedding shoots and this video is a great demo to why I need it. Thank you for your hard work making your informative videos.
Mr Potato Jet, you should consider a visit to Australia. We have relaxed Drone laws, UAV's under 2km don't require a licence plus there are lots of areas to fly.
Absolutely great review. I have watched many reviews and find yours the easiest to understand. Simple and to the point, not over done like some. Keep up the great work, you are very much appreciated by this viewer.
Thank you so much for going over the features of what can be done with this new drone. I just got mine and feel a bit intimidated about all the editing and settings. Feel free to go over editing tips and settings for how to optimize footage and how to get great footage. Newby
I have 2 drones And 3 cameras I use all of them in a shoot I actually have a matrice 600 And inspire 2 I also have a red camera on the matrice And a zenmuse camera And another red on the ground I love all the shots u can put together Like filming a moving car U can switch thru the front to the back in an instant
just one more month of saving my money from supermarket work and then I'm gonna buy the DJI mavic 2 pro with the controller, very very excited although im a little confused to why the controller is that freaking expensive
I’m new to this and the one thing I don’t understand is because of the distance from most shots, I would think zoom would be an Intercal focal point of drones and a high priority item, but yet???? So why isn’t zoom more important, more spoken about, and always seems left out of the list of features to brag about? Why isn’t this a given? And FYI? Not just good, but a GREAT fantastic job you did with this video!!!! Absolutely top-notch!!!!!
Nice review, I just did my first video on the Mavic 2 pro. I’m happy with the image quality but there’s some reports that the sensor is not being fully utilized.
Great video......was trying to determine what drone to buy - pro vs platinum vs pro 2......although the pro 2 is way over my head, it will probably be the one I go with. But the video is full of info and your energy is really fun......and I loved the co-host bit with your Bro in Texas. Thanks for the video! Keel them coming!
I have been looking up drones for a long time now, trying to find the perfect one for me. This is the best video I have seen on drones yet!! Thanks! I am hooked!!!!
I enjoyed your description of differences between the different Mavic series of drones. A lot of good basic info in a very condensed format. Good technical descriptions of how to do things, without having to watch hours of agonizingly slow moving step by step examples. Your video answered many technical questions that I had. At least for someone readily familiar with the basic Mavic Pro. I 've been flying for years, but have been agonizing over which new Mavic to buy, and your video convinced me to go with the Pro over the Zoom. The only advantage I can see with the Zoom is the ability to get shots with greater stand off distance, which is nice when you're trying to be stealthy or going in close would otherwise make me nervous. Subscribed! :)
I appreciate you reviews. I'm researching drones now because I'm getting really close to retirement and I going to buy a mobile home so that I can finally get to see this great country. So rather than just use my DSLR for pictures I would like to include some eye in the sky videos.
This channel is awesome! It has a lot of information that i will not use and a lot of equipment that i cannot afford, but it's funny and informative. Keep posting!
Subscribed. Coming from a typhoon h I just got a mini 2 and already I am seriously impressed by the quality and ease of use,,,aaannd now getting a pro 2 for the camera and the control you have over it. I'm just a hobbyist, my other photographic toy is a Canon 5d mk4 which I shoot in manual pretty much all the time. Pro 2 looks like a blast to fly and shoot.
Love your videos, very personable and easy to watch. I'm surprised you can actually keep me watching for over 20 mins. Bravo Potato Jet. Hopefully I can get your old Mavic and be imbuned with all your remnant drone video prowers.
I just came across this video. Thanks for making it. Im thinking about buying mavic pro 2 but am resistant cause i dont know much about it besides what I watch on RUclips videos. Renting is about 1/4 price for the drone.
Congrats to Jan Hemstad for winning the drone!
Ah man that's awesome. This is the first time watching your videos and I have to thank you for such a in depth review. I'm buying a pro 2 tomorrow.
Potato Jet , I have a question about this drone. If I travel and my phone is on airplane mode, can I still use my drone?
Was going to buy a drone but unfortunately in the UK the law's are changing on where you can fly them.
white guy:"are they durable" ....veddy veddy asain guy:"it replaceable"
One of the biggest "Must Know's" is that they're illegal to fly almost everywhere.
You can consider a drone to basically be a gun with regard to where you can use it.

YES. I have learned from experience that the drone does crash when it runs out of battery.
Watching this the day I got my Mavic 2.
For the 30p shots in a 24p timeline, consider reducing the speed to 80% for no dropped frames and a smoother motion while not too slow

Ive been into photography and film making since i was eleven and i was wondering what canera would be good to start with. i have a budget of 400 dollars. So can you guys recommend me some?
if you can go to a shop and try a few out. you can get a nice starter DSLR for that sort of money.
For 400 go for a used dslr or mirrorless that shoots 1080. I like the Sony A series, there should probably be a good A6000 or higher for 400 in the US
Under 400? Probably a mirrorless, DLSR worth buying are more then that.
@@toriless Gear snobbery may make you feel better about yourself but it wont help the OP, there are many DSLRs that can be picked up for under 400 I know because that about the budget I started with.

Like filming a moving car
U can switch thru the front to the back in an instant
You seems always have that positive energy to do everything.
just one more month of saving my money from supermarket work and then I'm gonna buy the DJI mavic 2 pro with the controller, very very excited although im a little confused to why the controller is that freaking expensive
I’m new to this and the one thing I don’t understand is because of the distance from most shots, I would think zoom would be an Intercal focal point of drones and a high priority item, but yet????
So why isn’t zoom more important, more spoken about, and always seems left out of the list of features to brag about? Why isn’t this a given? And FYI? Not just good, but a GREAT fantastic job you did with this video!!!! Absolutely top-notch!!!!!
Excited to pick up my Pro 2 when I go to Portland... yay, no tax.
Nice review, I just did my first video on the Mavic 2 pro. I’m happy with the image quality but there’s some reports that the sensor is not being fully utilized.
Great video......was trying to determine what drone to buy - pro vs platinum vs pro 2......although the pro 2 is way over my head, it will probably be the one I go with. But the video is full of info and your energy is really fun......and I loved the co-host bit with your Bro in Texas. Thanks for the video! Keel them coming!
I have been looking up drones for a long time now, trying to find the perfect one for me. This is the best video I have seen on drones yet!! Thanks! I am hooked!!!!
Watching videos on aerial photography for a college essay and because dem shits are cool, watching your channel because of your humor and content
I use the Mavic 2 Pro for all my videos. I love it!
I enjoyed your description of differences between the different Mavic series of drones. A lot of good basic info in a very condensed format. Good technical descriptions of how to do things, without having to watch hours of agonizingly slow moving step by step examples. Your video answered many technical questions that I had. At least for someone readily familiar with the basic Mavic Pro. I 've been flying for years, but have been agonizing over which new Mavic to buy, and your video convinced me to go with the Pro over the Zoom. The only advantage I can see with the Zoom is the ability to get shots with greater stand off distance, which is nice when you're trying to be stealthy or going in close would otherwise make me nervous.

Hi, Potato Jet, you made my day. I was looking for comments on the Mavic 2 pro and man, did I get it. I am a Phantom 4 pilot and retired as well (730
I appreciate you reviews. I'm researching drones now because I'm getting really close to retirement and I going to buy a mobile home so that I can finally get to see this great country. So rather than just use my DSLR for pictures I would like to include some eye in the sky videos.
Thank you for the great video on the Mavic 2 Pro! I didn’t know dji offered spotlight mode in the quick shots. Keep up the great work!!!
This channel is awesome! It has a lot of information that i will not use and a lot of equipment that i cannot afford, but it's funny and informative. Keep posting!
This review sold me. Especially on how easy it is to use commercially
Man the quality from the mavic 2 pro is sooo sweet. I reckon this is quality youd expect from a cine heli setup
Subscribed. Coming from a typhoon h I just got a mini 2 and already I am seriously impressed by the quality and ease of use,,,aaannd now getting a pro 2 for the camera and the control you have over it. I'm just a hobbyist, my other photographic toy is a Canon 5d mk4 which I shoot in manual pretty much all the time. Pro 2 looks like a blast to fly and shoot.
@Officialpotatojet Umm, if I read correctly I won a drone,, on a comment I posted a year ago?
I am obsessed with your videos, Gene! Way too funny and entertaining!
Holding off for the mavic 3, hopefully improves the bitrate and adds the hdr mode from the mavic air 2
Love your videos, very personable and easy to watch. I'm surprised you can actually keep me watching for over 20 mins. Bravo Potato Jet. Hopefully I can get your old Mavic and be imbuned with all your remnant drone video prowers.
I just came across this video. Thanks for making it. Im thinking about buying mavic pro 2 but am resistant cause i dont know much about it besides what I watch on RUclips videos. Renting is about 1/4 price for the drone.
i just bought one yesterday ... looks fine to me ... video quality can still be better ... firmware is okayish
