Great colab guys and fantastic info, it's great to hear this from guys as experienced as yourselves, shows how easy it is to forget basic stuff and how important it is to have those preflight checks thanks Jeven and Aldryn 👍
I’ve been flying for a year now and I’m always keeping an eye out for your drone videos so I can continue to learn how to capture great video from flying my drone. As always, thanks for your videos, Jeven!
Glad this collab happened (again). Quality info and tips right here. Always learning from you guys. Can’t wait to fly my own Mavic 3!!! Hopefully soon…
What a lovely thumbnail, and it was best one among drone-youtubers. Salute to you and I appreciate the 12 warnings you shared on this vid. Regards from 📍Bali Island.
Very good adwise. Some of my notes 1. I onlt fly nearby when battery is low. 2. Low fly lift dust that can go propellers. 3. Format internal storage - good tip 5. How drone know it don't have latest update if you're not wifi range? 6. Homepoint it really takes time and need to be know how start flying. 9. ND filer usage I disagree, they help getting better image. Even drone have sensors, I fly so that don't trust them.
@@JevenDovey I still disagree. For context, I’ve done professional drone work for the discovery channel and science, and there’s rarely a time I fly during the day without a filter. But I did liked the video and despite my years of experience I still learned some new things!
I'm new to drones :D (DJI AIR 2S user here) but I have to say that I love how you guys collaborate with each other in these kind of videos. No dumb competition and free hate like in other segments (like gaming - where I come from). 10/10
I'm flying with drones since 2015 and it was kinda hard, to get my Phantom 2 to the drone, that I need. So I mounted a 3D Zenmuse gimbal under the drone, to attach my GoPro HERO4, I also attached a OSD module and a wireless video transmitter and needed to buy a lcd with inbuilt receiver separately. With the new drones, like the DJI Mini 2, everything is ready to fly, you don't have to modify your drone and it weights just under 250 g, when my Phantom 2 was just under 2 kg.
Great advice. Another doozy to watch out for is very thin wires or fishing line (especially near water). My props got caught in some nearly invisible fishing line in some branches near a pond and barely managed to land it and untangle the line. Hence the wisdom of LOS.
@@josephsavage1540 I've had 4 different drones from DJI...it's all depending on how professional you want to get with the footages. For me, I bought the air2 before air2s came out. But air2s got my vote
@@Michael_Tran ideally as professional as possible. I'm trying to find a nice compromise on a drone that will pair well with my 6k cinema camera. Interesting to hear you recommend the air 2s.
@@josephsavage1540 I only do amateur filming so it's all I need but if you're looking for the best quality then the mavic 3 cine combo might be for you.
Also something to mention is that when you do updates you need to check and make sure the settings don't default back to basic settings. I learned a valuable lesson in Mexico City Mexico 2 weeks ago, when shooting in another country check to make sure what standards (metric/feet). I assumed that I was 120 feet out when setting up a shot only to learn after my drone crashed into a building that my drone was in meters, so I was actually out almost 380 feet ugh ugh ugh. I wasn't allowed to recover the drone, but oh boy what a valuable lesson.
Thanks for releasing this today. This morning I crashed my sole Mavic Mini into a tree. Dumb mistake on my part and I'm totally bummed. The drone is trashed. It's makes me feel a little better to see some experienced pilots making mistakes too.
You will know if your props are damaged by the change in Sound pitch. Didn't realize I damaged my Mini 2 props early in the flight and returned after 15 minutes of flying with a different sound but No performance change. After landing, I realized the front 2 right propeller tips were chipped and broken off. It's possible to fly as long as it's just the tips. When you work on down the prop into it's pitch area then, she's going down. 😊 flying.
scrapping the ground makes more sense then a rock. Both propellers on one side were broken past the orange tips. A rock wouldnt hit both evenly like that
I think you forgot to mention that the main use of an ND filter isn't only to achieve motion blur but to cut down on exposure when shooting on a bright day especially if you're shooting manual and you want a specific look. I have found that shooting 4k 60p in broad daylight still over exposes my image by +2 so using an ND 32 for example can help me keep those setting and have a well exposed image not just motion blur for i.e 24p or something.
Yeah ND is sunglasses. But the point is that on the Mavic 3 you can use your Aperture or Shutter Speed to get proper exposure and you won't notice the high shutter speed when you're high in the sky. However when you're closer to the ground you'll want to shoot with ND to get motion blur.
Great teaching! Can you elaborate on ND filter more? I was told by others to always use ND filter for video except night time or sunset and to set ISO 100, shutter 50 of sec if shooting 24fps. Thank you
Firmware updates should be allowed to be delayed for a certain amount of days or indefinitely, I get they are needed for all sorts of reasons, but ultimately the user needs to have more control and only if its some utterly crucial critical issue the firmware needs to be optional.
I like drones but the highest I have owned was mavic air 2. I sold it. I couldn't use the 4k because I don't have expensive equipment to make that footage happen. So I learned that the mini 2 is the best option for me. I'm no pro I just like to fly and mess around. The mavic 3 is awesome.
there are many ways of setting home point can you also cover that? like you are filming with Mavic 3 flying and you drove 1km feather how can i correct the dorn so that it know here I am. Instead of flying back to the original take point?
Battery life. That one even hits us older fliers. What sucks is here in Japan, the full size batteries are not given with DJI drones. So they can only fly, max, 11 minutes. Wind, 5 minutes and heart stopping flies!
Hi Jeven Im a subscriber and really love your work. i'm new to photography and drones. I have the Mavic Air 2 and just got my part 107 but i have never ever used video or photo editing software. i have very little software experience. i want to start a drone photography business i have formed an LLC my drone is registered and i can fly fairly well but still learning. Is final cut pro the software for someone like myself? how difficult is it? Does it edit photos as well? Thank you for all you do for those of us that subscribe to your channel.
Gret safety tips. I think this video will help save Someone's UAV. As a instrument rated Pilot and multiple drone flyer, 3 thing always stands true. Make A Checklist and use it. Altitude is your friend. And always trust your instruments. Not panicking also helps. Lol
Bruh ! As amazing as the video is especially for a first time flyer, add the timeline tags it makes it easier to know what or were are the points and for us to go back to when we need them
Javen you mentioned part 1 of 7 license? I can't seem to find any info on that. Also which app are you using for fly zone on your phone? After having a few incidence at the airports when I went to other countries, I don't want anymore headaches because I didn't have a permit.
He mentioned Part 107 license you misspelled it and the best course to get is pilot institute because if you use Tony North's part 107 review it's outdated by 2 years and there's a helluva lot more things on the test than what it was before, plus you don't want to take the test and pay $175 only to fail and re take it again you know?
I crashed my DJI Air 2s during my first flight but into the grass, it wasn’t that high up. Are there any diagnostics I can run to check if anything internal is damaged. There is not a scratch on the drone.
#10 I would not agree with the thesis that in the air (high altitudes) a nd filler is unnecessary. On the contrary, a flock of birds (you never know when they'll fly into the frame) also requires a nd filter (motion blur). Clear and sunny day also requires a nd filter, at least a nd 16, (if we are talking about manual exposure and ISO), so ... (sorry for the grammar). Otherwise the channel is great, just keep it up !
Hi, I'm new to the drone and just recently, I have bought a drone called MJX Bugs 16 Pro B16 GPS 4K EIS 3- I have managed to use the basic controller. However, still, I couldn't connect to the mobile apps as once I uploaded the MRC Pro app on the top of the left hand of the mobile, it said Not Connected; I tried many times but still didn't; know how to connect it, while RUclips video shows the green sport (High Speed)label and another question I'm planning to use this MJX Bugs 16 Pro B16 in remote places in Himalayan Country in Nepal, may I know how to connect to the Wifi in the mobile apps where there may not be the internet access. Please advice. Thank you.
Even if you have a connection, a forced update can eat up a lot of battery and time. I wish DJI would schedule their updates on same day each week or something predictable.
If you start flying your drone at say 250 feet at the homebase as you start flying it around the area it does not mean that you are also add 250 feet of elevation as elevations can change and if you fly into a higher elevation you could hit a house or a tree.
Some content creators forget we have newcomers joining the fun pretty much all the time. It amplifies with new product cycles. It is very important to serve quality content that is relevant. So, I would say the opposite, most topics should or could be refreshed at least once a year. I might not watch it but I see the value ;)
@@cwclarkephotos9551 Thank you. 107 training only made reference to national parks which seemed odd. Always wondered though because there's a state park nearby. Never took off there because I wasn't sure..... 👍👍
another big mistake that I have seen more times than I want to count.... do not let Grandpa hand over the controller over to a young grand kid at the park.... seen too many crashes due to this...

Very useful sir.. Tq so much
Great information I’m liking all the collaborative videos with other respectable RUclipsrs. Keep up the good work Jeven! 👍🏾
Great tips!
5:50 Yeah I told a stroy: about a drone who active tracked a bicyclist until it hit the branches
There is no way the propellers touching the ground and the drone still flying. Maybe tiny stones raised by the air and chopped by the propellers.
totally agree~
You're right
I thought the mavic 3, has the orange tips on propellers 🤔

The first thing I saw on the thumbnail was don’t put your drone under the wheel of your car
Good video going over the basics. Even if you have 100s of hours of flight time it's good to double check that these are apart of your checklist.
I think you forgot to mention that the main use of an ND filter isn't only to achieve motion blur but to cut down on exposure when shooting on a bright day especially if you're shooting manual and you want a specific look.

I would just add that you use propeller protection. In most cases, accident protection saves the drone or the damage is minimal.

Your propellers were chipped from the rocked being kicked up by the truck. A mid-prop hit of ‘the ground’ is called a crash.
