Do you like and would you use the TapFly mode for the DJI Mavic Air?
Mavic Pro by the way only has forward TapFly mode :(
4 Mavic Air Videos left before the giveaway :)
Good luck!
Petter Wigen Awesome..... good luck
TapFly on Mavic Air is so cool! I like the 'Free flight' but what's with the 'Zeebra Stripes' on the screen? 🤔
droneXfactor I am still not comfortable enough yet with some of these modes.. it makes me nervous, but your videos are great to learn and build up a drone operators confidence!!!
Thanks for the video, I will definitely try the forward option first. No one ever mentions what stops the forward drone movement. Does it stop automatically?
Thanks 😊
Your videos and reviews are always great X........... I probably already commented on this one, but nothing wrong with doing it again! Keep up the great Vids X!
I love the music! Really cool drone work! As always video is very cool and helpful !
This drone amazes me!
I can watch this all day
Love watching your videos.... showing how to use the tap to fly works...
gotta love this option
Nice work! Never even knew about that function... looks pretty awesome actually!
Amazing mode.
I like this feature. Very useful.
awesome feature for sure!
Another informative video dronexfactor been away for a couple of weeks and when I got home yesterday my mavic pro arrived omg this drone is a dream to fly connection is brilliant and so stable thank you for the recommendation keep up the great videos
Chris
Thanks Chris
Great video. I didn't think tap to fly would be something I would care about but you may have changed my mind.
amazing drone!
Great to see you back with the Air and I loved the video I needed this as i really need to practice this mode. The tutorials you do are great as they really are down to earth and so much appreciated. I am going up to the mountains on Monday and I am going to use the tap to fly options on the summit of Ben Venue.(Scotland) I need obstacle avoidance so will not use Free mode
WeeAirDrone you're welcome
Please let me know if the forward TapFly mode works for you.
Thanks for watching
Great vids!
Like I said before. Great videos that will be useful for years! Great work
Scott Hogan thank you Scott
Another informative and educational video. Great job Xavier :-)
Alicia Gardiner thanks :)
Great when working of the coast
That are pretty good modes to play with and take great videos.
Man X you wasn’t lying when you said your hair grows back fast. Another great review X. And yes I would use the tap to fly modes to get nice shots without having to really focus on flying. Keep the videos coming brother.
MrGeorgiaBoi706 lol...... I'm thinking about cutting it again........ thanks
Like all the other features, I will give it a try and determine if I want to use it. Seems pretty useful if you ask me.
I like that tap to fly.
Very useful option
great video. i would probably never use tap to fly unless there is a certain video that i'm trying to get. thanks for showing us how it works
Nice test
Cool video!!!
good tutorial
Still great and informative video after 2 years.
Love this feature. It's not as robust as say Litchi's waypoints. But it's a great tool to use to focus on camera movement instead of flying.
I was unfamiliar with Tap to Fly but it is cool. I can think of many ways it would be useful! Thanks for another great video!!
Elizabeth A. Painter you're welcome Elizabeth :)
You had me at YES!
grinningtiki220 LoL..... thanks
OMG! This drone is loaded!
Thanks for the instructions and tips. Can't wait for the giveaway. So close!!!
Nice flight
Good vid 👍🏻
Another good review dXf, I don't know if I would use this mode or not.
Love the Mavic air. Love to win it
Great video...thanks for trying to help me🙂 God bless
Lou The Cat Tv you're welcome
Thanks for watching
very nice indeed
roger martin thanks
FLY SAFE
Tapfly looks cool, not sure how id like it over time.
I definitely see the benefit of controlled speed! Like Cruise Control :)
This drone have a lot of functions omg
That's my Boy DroneXfactoR! Sharing video mate!
LoL....... :)
Thanks Jaime
That is a pretty cool feature. I like it. I could definitely see myself using that one. I'm looking forward to seeing your next videos with more reviews. I'm torn, I want to upgrade my drone sometime in the future. I still think that for what I'd be using it for mostly that the Mavic Air is the one for me........ But I'm still thinking about it and your reviews are really helping me too decide.
Steve G. Thanks.....I think next video will be the camera review.
Mavic Air is definitely a worthy upgrade :)
Thanks Steve & FLY SAFE
Good Video...... Just had to Subscribe.
It's been a long time but that sure looks like Fordham Rd in the Bronx
Keep up the good vids and glad i ran across yours as my new to me mavic air left me confused on tap to fly
Queens Blvd actually.
Thanks for sharing
#SubWithBellForMore

Nice
i like that drone love to fly it. but i still love my 3dr solo. also good info my brother
Eugene Williams long live SOLO :)
FLY SAFE
Thank you!
Youre welcome James
This is a small point, but I think it clarifies Tap Fly just a little. In the Forward Mode, Tap Fly controls only two things: 1 It keeps the drone flying in the direction it's looking. 2: it sets the speed at an adjustable constant. Otherwise, you can use the sticks as usual to control altitude, yaw, Left/Right movement, and gimbal, and the Air will continue to fly wherever you point it, at the speed you set. You just can't fly backwards. Hope this helps.
Thanks for testing and clarifying this function. #Helpful
And just to clarify further, TapFly Free Fly sets a Point in Space (Maybe via GPS coordinates?) towards which the drone will continue to fly regardless or any other (AFAIK) adjustment you make: Yaw, Roll, Altitude,speed.
Tap to fly free mode allows you to use your yaw while the drone is flying on a set path you touched on the screen
I think a similar feature is on the spark. It helps a lot when I use it.
Tap Fly looks like it could be quite useful at times. That way you could focus on what your filming. Love your Vids. Keep on filming!
FergiesRC Jason Like a second pilot & you can focus on the camera......... thanks for watching & sharing your thoughts.
FLY SAFE
This place looks like a great place to fly
I love TapFly mode but I define it differently. TapFly/Forward manages and keeps constant the speed (right joy stick forward/back). You manage Yaw, Up, Down, Left, and Right and, of course the gimbal. For smooth, consistent speed, you can't beat it even if you are good in manual mode flying. TapFly/Backward is the same as forward except the constant speed is in reverse. Again, a great tool to free up the photographer. TapFly/Free manages Yaw. You manage the other stick movements. Really great! Finally, TapFly Coordinate manages altitude (keeps it constant) and distance of flight. I would use the Coordinate Mode to replace previous WayPoint modes. It automatically stops at a designate point so that I can reset the drone for the next leg. I might want to change speed, yaw and even camera settings. Then I set the next Coordinate to fly toward. WOW ... so many nice options.
Russell Schundler sounds like you're experenced with TapFly modes...... one thing....... Forward and reverse tapfly are not the same because in forward tap fly the Drone can gain altitude and lower altitude depending on where you press on the screen.... However in reverse the altitude remains constant unless you use the sticks.
FLY SAFE
Thanks for breaking things down.
Thanks for watching
Can you set the speed faster if you disable the obstacle avoidance?
Amazing video!!! By the way, how is your family going?? I love the video. Good job
Tomás Mallaina My Dad is doing great, thanks for asking :)
Sooo badddd asssss x. Imma use this with my mavic but dammmmm the air is the shit bro i swear i tell u this all the time but i luv that drone. Everytime i see one somewhere i say the same shit dam j luv that drone i want one. Great video x-man
BIGJOHN 314 thanks John
Wow. The free mode is really good. Finally, you can see what's possible with it.
Maximilian Vuga free mode is my favorite too :)
FLY SAFE
I think I misunderstood something in reference to "free" tap to fly if obstacle avoidance isnt active during this mode how did it avoid the building? Was that simply due to the trajectory of your flight path?
Yes it was because of trajectory path, however I noticed that the mavic air will even avoid obstacles when obstacle avoidances off.......... However they shouldn't be trusted or relied on.
In this particular incense I felt like the sensors saw the obstacle but didn't avoid it, it just so happens the flight path wasn't aimed at the obstacle/building.
Fly safe
@@xavier_arthur Got it.Thanks for replying 👍🏽👍🏽Happy Fathers day if you're a father bro.
Thanks, I've got 4, two boys and two girls.
Happy Father's Day to you as well if you have.
I think i could see myself using a forward tap to fly . i like that seems as if there’s a second operator helping giving a line of flight that is that much smoother
The shots were reallly nice . Something about watching drone footage is so peaceful
Nice work ✖️
As far as the air i think you could get away using other modes for the feel of a supporting operator for certain shots
Face Mountain
Right you are, it's like having a second operator, gotta love technology because DJI makes it so easy to use by just taping the screen.
FLY SAFE
This mode is cool because we can focus on the gimbal while the drone is flying alone
Tap fly is op
cool
I'm glad obstacle avoidance works on the forward one. I crashed my friends pro (it was fine) trying to tap fly... Still scared to do it with spark :p
Most definitely would use it. With it, you can focus more on the video and less on the drone. When I do landscapes I want to focus on the camera, not the tripod.
Journeyman Facts :)
Sounds like you're experenced.
FLY SAFE
I have used TTF on the Mavic....though only a couple times, id just rather fly it myself. Though it does seem like a useful thing to use to capture "cinematic" scenes.
i know this is sooooo easy but still i love i to fly by my own handling
Hi ,
i just bought my mavic air 4 weeks ago. and i am enjoying it but because mavic air 2 is in the market. do u think its taking over mavic air as i am kinda getting upset. what are your recommendations. the reason I did not buy mavic air 2 as i was new to drones and j did not wand something big.
epic intro music
Facts :)
Thanks for watching
I'm not sure I'll use this feature! I'll have a go next time I'm out and try it for myself. Nice vids!
Very good for hyperlapse as well, but now that it's trending
Woow
Been trying out POI and Tripod mode and like them a lot though have you had issues with it not coming back out of tripod mode? Mines appeared to stick in this the other evening and it wouldn't come out which was a little worrying as I needed to speed up to face down a breeze that got up a bit. I have learned since, toggling in sport mode and off again disables the tripod mode. A wee question as I am soon to head stateside on holiday with drone in tow. Are there no restrictions on flying over built up areas? We wouldn't be allowed to fly round a city area like that here ( Scotland).
Kenneth Halley I never had issues with tripod mode getting stuck......
Also it depends on the city..... here in NY it is mostly legal in some areas except Manhattan......I use UAV forecast app also to show me the no Fly zones in the US.

Cheers. I am starting out in DC on Saturday, I know no flying round that area and thats cool got plenty of other things to occupy me! Then heading south , VA. NC, GA, FL BTW sorry about the slightly out of context comment. I originally intended to comment on your video on POI and autoplay appears to have stepped me on. Doh. Keep up the great vids BTW. This was a few shots from a play round with Tripod and POI this week. ruclips.net/video/Ner1JML9k7I/видео.html
I would try it for fun but I prefer manual flying for the control
Not sure how I feel about tap to fly. Maybe it’s something that could be better in further firmware updates. I guess it would have to be something I have experience in person, so I’ll be sticking with the controller. Another great video man and I’m looking forward to the drone giveaway. We are so close!,,
Kory Price Sticking with what you're comfortable with is smart :)
Yes we're getting so close....... good luck :)
Interesting. Not sure I will use it.
Looks awesome! How did you figure out that the sensors don’t work in that free mode? See you in the next vid!!!!
Drew Driscoll Thanks......I figured it out because every time I hit go in free mode the obstacle avoidance icon at the top of the screen next to the satellites go red...... If you look at the video you'll see soon as I hit go it turns red....... They didn't even mention that in the manual....... Good thing I was paying attention to all my Telemetry so to speak.
FLY SAFE.... thanks for watching.
Thanks ! Great video
Actually a very cool feature!
I can see myself using this. It provides a non-professional / learning pilot with a tool to get very cinematic footage !
The black and white lines mean that that part of the image is to bright, right?
The little graph, what does that exactly mean?
Mathias Celis yes black and white means too bright ( Over Exposed)
The little graph tells you if your blacks and whites are too strong basically...... the graph should not be touching either left or right walls.
Thanks for watching
good to know ! thanks you :)
Mathias Celis Awesome
I'm stealing this music for one of my videos! Lol
How do you smooth out the yaw settings in Tap Fly? After I set them to smooth in EXP, they don't hold in Tap Fly.
You've got to work the stick with precision.
That might be the only solution,, thanks for sharing
Most detailed and informative video I found on Tap Fly. But I have one question: In Free Mode, when you yawed and it stayed on its original course, did you yaw with the stick on the controller, or by doing something on the screen? I know the green crosshairs was out of the frame, but I wonder if you just dragged left on the screen.
I'd also like to make a request: when you're demonstrating an on-screen control (as opposed to one on the controller), could you put some indication on the video -- an arrow, or circle, e.g. -- that would indicate which control you're about to use? That would speed my comprehension greatly. Thanx again for the video..
I used the left stick to yaw in free mode, also remember that obstacle avoidance does not work in free mode.
Thanks for the tip, i will definitely indicate whether I'm operating on the screen or on the sticks in the future.
Thanks again
Fly safe...... enjoy
Thank you for clarifying that, @@xavier_arthur. What happens in that mode if you use the sticks to change altitude or direction?
Good question, i don't remember,
I Don't want to tell you what I think I remember because if you try it and I Don't remember correctly and God forbid you crash or something, I don't want that.
I don't have the mavic air anymore, I gave it away to one of my subscribers, so if you can try it in a big open area with no obstacles to see if it stops the tap to fly mode or if it's allows you to make adjustments.
That i would really appreciate a update on the results.
Tap and fly is definitely different.
Tap to fly is cool. I would still be hesitant being around obstacles.
I had no idea it has tap to fly option!
How often do people give you grief about flying? I never even take my drones out anymore when people are around. It seems like you fly in areas where there would be a bunch of “drone police “ or are you normally incognito where you setup?
First comment and like
Kory Price this time you're definitely first :)
What about busy area and many wifi hotspots in the area, how it hold on?
AAA W I've been getting much better results when I put my phone into airplane mode...... it's holding up ok, also I'm not flying far with it.
I am wondering, how do you guys use all of this familiar music.
You have to ask permision or how does it work?
Can i do that with any music?
Great tutorial, keep up the good work!
Roy V H if you use familiar music, RUclips will give the proceeds to the artist or split it with you or in some cases demonetize the video, meaning they will allow it to play but you won't get any $$$ for it.
Also if you only play 14 seconds of music, RUclips won't recognize it.....lol.
Thanks for watching, Fly Safe.
If you are using the tap fly feature then in front there is another object whether mavic water will hit it?
Zidan 201005 tap to fly Free has no obstacle avoidance and Mavic will hit it........ However tap to fly forward has obstacle avoidance and mavic will either stop or go around as many obstacles to avoid it.
Fly Safe
droneXfactor thanks for the answer
Zidan 201005 anytime
Obstacle avoidance and APAS Test video releasing today.
Thanks for watching don't forget to subscribe
I’m not sure if tap to fly would be something I’d try
Another entry
I finally got my mavic air🤣😍
Hope Taylor Reaves Congratulations :)
Hope Taylor Reaves what color did you get?
droneXfactor Black looks really sharp😍
How you loving the mavic air?
Norman Rea I've never flown it for fun, only for testing to make videos but I will say it is very capable for it's size.
Thanks for watching .... Fly Safe
droneXfactor awesome I am hoping to get one soon. We just got two new fire trucks at the station. One is a ladder truck and I want to orbit around it with the ladder up.
Norman Rea Sounds great..... Mavic Air can definitely handle that task especially in POI mode:
ruclips.net/video/ho9W_WIFp5w/видео.html
😃
I can see myself using Free mode in this feature to capture specific shots that would be hard to do manually. Other than that it seems like more of a gimmick.
How are u aloud to fly on ny I thought it was illegal to fly there
bigboiman can't fly drones in Manhattan NY :(
I was in Queens NY
Fly Safe
OK, this one was a little confusing. I had no idea what Tap to Fly was all about, and you didn’t explain it at all. You just started using it. I’m assuming after watching, that you’re just setting a vector and speed so that the drone goes in that direction until you change it, giving you the freedom to concentrate on the camera controls. Do all but the last one just continue on until you stop it? I can see how it could be very useful letting you work the camera precisely without worrying about flying to get a moving subject or a fly-by of a subject.
Chris Crawford Spot on, you're right...........also I should've mentioned it's use & purposes.
Thanks
Still scary to try this lol.
yeah TapFly mode... easy for the beginner of course..
Terrifying will fly foot ball fields awhile yet.
A small suggestion. Unless the video is about video settings and the like will you please switch off that EXPOSURE WARNING zebra highlight. Its so damn distracting apart from the already jumbled look that the interface has.

Will do...... thanks for the suggestion :)
