Need to activate the APAS system... Auto Pilot Assistance System. To go around, under, or over obstacles without coming to a complete stop.
In mavic air 2
How do you do that? I suspect I'll find it in the user guide before you read this comment, but thanks a lot for the heads up. RUclips has to be the best learning tool on the planet... except for when it's the worst. So why do so many people, who barely have a clue themselves, insist on making videos to pass on their misinformation?
OK it took me thirty seconds to find it in the user guide, and it says that APAS is disabled when using Intelligent Flight modes, and resumes automatically when exiting Intelligent Flight modes. So the ED would not have been able to use APAS in his test. Is that right?
4:00 crashing into a tree and asking "wanna land?" 😅😂😂😂😂
If you charge into a tree I think you don't need to swipe for landing cause it already fell to the ground 😂
Marketing is always multiple generations ahead of reality.
I know right 😁👍
The skydio 2 is WAAAAAYYY WAAAYYY better at this application.
Active track relies on contrasts. Follow me mode uses the remote as a beacon.
The Skydio 2 hands down. Unfortunately Skydio is not taking orders right now. Their offices in San Francisco are closed due to COVID19.
Drone footage is always cool. Image quality seems good, and it can avoid obstacles, but not so much on the dodging. Maybe they can correct in firmware updates. Thanks for taking the great drive to share this adventure with us, Gary!
Absolutely! This is my favorite test to run 👍
I can't believe you took it through such dense growth! Not surprised with the outcome, but I did not watch any of the marketing hype. Thanks for thrashing it for us, ya big meanie 🤣
This would have been too easy for the Skydio R1 so the Mavic should have been able to do it
I am a Skydio 2 fan and soon owner but in Mavik 2s defense you did take it through such tight brush.
How's the sky2 going ya'? I unwrapped mine this morning, don't have the balls yet to test it on the trails. Lol. Any advice?
Thanks, this is a good test. It shows the difference of Mavic 2 Pro's obstacle avoidance & APAS vs Skydio R1's terrain mapping and path prediction.
Are you leaving the prop arm stickers on intentionally, or are you like me with my Mavic Pro and flew it around for a couple weeks before I noticed? Lol!
I’m just lazy 🤣
The bounceback after hitting something on the Mavic 2 series is genuinely impressive!
I've seen some crash videos already and 90% of the time the motors would shut off and then turn back on after falling a bit.
Awesome video! 👍🏼
We need this drone with skydio2 tracking. Would be amazing.
cgtalk ! Oh trust me, I’m sure the Mavic 3 while have the Skydio 2 features! When have you ever known the Chinese to not copy a technology...lol
@@theurbanartist775 lol. I KNOW! Sad since I'd prefer to buy American.
Why not buy the Evo 2 than? Has it all!
Word of advice; add your commentary to the footage instead of the background music and the post recap segment
You mentioned APAS. Did you have it turned on? It's not automatic, from my understanding, you have to manually turn it on from the main screen first. It may not even be compatible within ActiveTrack.
I think the Mavic Air does better with obstical avoidance on trails because of its size/footprint it’s less likely to hit things just because of that.
Having a Mavic Pro 1, spark, Mavic Air, mavic 2 Pro now and for
avoidance here is how it rank it:
Heavy off-road trail use: Mavic Air
Open roads/car tracking: Mavic 2
Open trails and roads (no trees): Mavic Air, Spark and mavic 2
Are you going to do this exact test with the skydio 2?
God i hope so, i unwrapped mine this morning. Don't have the balls to fly into some treesn just yet. Lol
I'm actually quite surprised how well this did considering how poor the first gen dji tracking was. Not super great but seems to be quite a bit better than my experience with one.
Have you seen the Skydio active track? I would love to see you test that one!
My M2 has crashed a few times due to obstacle avoidance not working as well as even on the M1 in some instances. Either the M2 just stops and hovers in front of an obstacle waiting for me to take over or it has gone right into the tree branches and been stuck 40 feet up (had to climb the tree but that was fun actually). I must say that this drone recovers from falls much better too, ha. LOVE the camera and the more quiet operation of this new drone but not impressed with obstacle avoidance at all. In addition the active track function loses track of me quite often. Even though these are negatives I'm very happy with this M2 overall.
That’s pretty thick brush to try and use this feature! Think your expecting more than this was designed for.
Brendan O'Mara I don’t think so, I think he was just expecting a bigger improvement over the Air which did this test rather well.
This environment is beyond the limits for the types of sensors equipped on the Mavic 2 Pro.
A full array with 12 obstacle-sensing 3D cameras is required, like the Skydio R1.
Delivering 12 visual flow cameras and enough image processing power to build a 3D spatial map is not something DJI can do right now at the $1500 mark.
i thought it has sensors & obstacles avoidance.. why didn’t it work?
I honestly don’t know what you expect from the thing. It’s doing a pretty amazing job with the amount of brush around it.
The new version added some improvements to it, not make it fool proof.
It’s also not going to perform the same as the air as it is a larger drone. I wouldn’t expect a phantom 4 Pro to do better than the Mavic since it is considerably larger. A more true comparison would be up against the previous Mavic Pro.
Still a great drone. Wish I had the money to get one.
You are certainly braver than I am. I would not active track in the woods. In an open field, maybe. I am glad it survived the encounter.
I also have the Air and Mavic 2. I did a similar test with Mavic 2 around trees (but not in a forest) and it did a much better job than the Air -- it flew below, around, and above branches, similar to the Skydio. Maybe you didn't have APAS turned on or the forest was too dense.
thanks bro. you're the best.. reviewer.. keep it up..
This was the extreme obstacle avoidance test I've been looking for since the mavic 2 was released. I appreciate this test was about as extreme as anyone would dare to try, so thanks so much for having the balls to do it. Your results don't put me off; rather, they assure me of the extreme limits the drone is capable of. Thanks so much for publishing this test : no other video posted so far that I've seen have gone to such extremes.
Keep up the good work!
Research the typhoon h with intel realsense. This drone reroutesto get around, above, under obstacles.
Its funny first time using the active focus and as it followed me for the first time it was dodging power lines and then missed one.... wrecked into the tree after words and hit the ground. Smh. First time using it...
Not sure if the settings were on. I’ve seen a few other videos and OA was fantastic
you didn't active the Apas 2.0
Yeah! He should have totally done that! What a bunch of bs! It’s like he hasn’t done this so many times before 😡
@@TheEverydayDad yea what a dickhead
my friend,.. APAS 2.0 works in different mode. And it avoid obstacle only if u are controling drone . In tracking mode it should it by itself go around obstacles, but it has problems a lot
Great video thanks so much for doing it I just got mine and dont have the balls to do your type of test, but know that I see it work I will give it a try, I think not on the bike LOL
Yeah I’m sure the active track itself is fine, but the obstacle avoidance isn’t working as well as I’d hoped 👍
The issue you have is that you fly at 6-12 ft which is well in the brush. Path is fairly clear at your level but at 6-12ft there is too much for it to deal with. The mavic 2 is fairly big as well and if it goes into a spot where it sees branches within 1m on all directions there isn't alot it can do only stop. The only clear direction is probably the one it came from.
Great video. They’ve had a lot of software updates since this though. Excluding better obstacle detections. Could be worth trying this again at some point.
Great video! Nice work
Thanks so much!
Great review! We will be using to follow cars-Tesla's , so we are hoping it will be able to keep up. We will have more open area to work with. We will see. Thanks!
I can't wait to see you do this with the Skydio 2!
Test result: Failure
Conclusion: Hire a pilot to film you with an action cam 😂
Nice video! Is this in NOVA? I think I've been on that trail.
The obsticle sensing can be on but not the avoidance. Do you have the "obsticle avoidance during active track" turned on in addition to the obsticle sensing?
Great test, in my opinion It didn’t work as advertised. I do remember you doing the same test with the Air and if I’m not mistaken it did a lot better.
Can you do another test while using narrow sensing (hold C1 or C2)? It’ll probably be hard to do while mountain biking though lol
Ok, the last random question lol
Have you ever used any camcorders for RUclips?
Could you review some maybe?
I'm seeing and reading info saying they can take super long videos so they're a good option for youtube.
But I'm not sure how they stack up in image quality compared to some of the point and shoot/dslr cameras you currently own and recommend.
Thanks so much.
did you have apas enabled? .. compared to other videos your drone doesn't even look like its trying lol
Pewdiepie: *BUT CAN IT DO THIS!!!*
🤣
It can...for ONLY 399!
Very good test!
When in manual flying mode. When there is an object, will it just beep to let you know or will it avoid it for you?
Awesome true test will always be the trees bro! Thanks for sharing
Oh did I also mention the front lens broke and sensors need replaced....
I've seen a similar test with an M2 Pro where it a great job of avoiding foliage, but it did start in a clear space while the reviewer walked under and behind trees. I've only owned my M2 Pro for a few days, and I am most definitely not yet up to speed with all the settings (I'm using a Smart Controller). For instance, the icon at the top of the screen which shows which sensors are active. Mine has so far always said that the side sensors are not active, and I have no idea why. So my question is - two years later - have you been able to alter the set up and improve the drone's obstacle avoidance? I've just thought to look at your screen recording, and I can see that you have two bars at the top and bottom, but just one bar each side. Does that indicate best possible obstacle avoidance? So much to learn, but I guess that means it won't get boring.
Gotta wonder whether or not this is now improved with updates.
Did it do any better then the air
My dji spark broke from water damage yesterday and now I am sooo sad
Buy a skydio 2 for that kinda stuff.
Nice video. Most of that autonomous stuff is gimmicky and not really used much, at least in my case. I'm not too comfortable with putting something in the air that I'm not controlling for the most part.
I thougth the active track and obstacle avoidance would be better on dji mavic 2......I subcribed to your channel...I enjoyed it...congrats
of course... its much bigger and wider!
mavic air is tiny to go thru small openings
What are those black and white patterns or whatever you call it. Is that normal?
Well bummer not so good at all, was APAS engaged? And please take of the stickers 🤪
Fun test video Gray, that was for sure a real test for any drone! I think it may have worked better if it was just trees without the low lying tree branches, what do you think? Thanks for taking it out for a real world test, very nice test, Thank You!
Great test! I would be so scared trying this kind of object avoidance test in such thick forest. Guaranteed the drone will crash multiple times.
Thanks for sharing your test.
superb video, love your objective & true test. subscribed, cheers
Great video.
Doesn't seem like active track is a huge improvement vs the last Gen models
Yeah I agree, I was pretty underwhelmed.
I could track cleavage through anything
does obstacle avoidance work better with lights ?
Yeah... active track in the woods sucks. Skydio3 has nailed it down.
Thanks for the test! You saved my money !
Excellent
I thought this one was going to be a lot better at obstacle avoidance with the so called 360 thing. But just doesn’t seem any better than the last one..
I had the first gen but lost it in a tree that I thought I was flying high enough to clear the top of but nope end of drone.
This would have been too easy for the Skydio R1 so the Mavic should have been able to do it
Did you activate apas ???
Since I hit subscribe I feel entitled to beg you to please review the SG900S. Another channel is beating you to it but they only did the unboxing and explanation of the controller. I think I want this as an alternative to a DJI Spark so I really want to see if it does what it says it does.
You do a great job and that's why I'm coming back to your channel to hopefully get your take on it. I'm primarily interested in whether or not an sd card is possible. I am not a mountain biker and will not need to put my drones through the paces you do...but does it do what it is advertised to do? Keep up the good work.
Hello,
how do you get the lock open? it changes only color from me. it goes from white to light blue
Amazing
I saw on that other guys channel M2P went under,over and around trees and limbs.
Hmmm sadly that it stops and doesnt adjust route
Sweet video! you said DC, where are those bike trails? Im up near Baltimore
I have the Mavic Air and the 2 pro and your comparison on obstacle avoidance is dead on! My Air is way better at flying around obstacles.
can you recommend any drone good at obstacle avoidance ? i mostly do downhill biking with lots of twist and turns. @The Everyday Dad
DJI should acquire Skydio. Adding AI to DJI's APAS system would significantly improve the obstable avoidance.
I wonder if firmware can improve it
Love your videos!
Thanks so much! 😁👍
Did apas stood on?
I'm disappointed as well....the event made it look like the active track would be solid....more intuitive.....great test though...I know where not to take it....thnks to u......a brave test
it crashes so easy . for such shooting i recommend SKYDIO r1 DRONE
Great test but is very difficult for any drone, whe needs cameras not sensors.😉👍🇵🇹
I have been waiting this test, I like the way you doing the test since the mavic air.. But seem mavic air is the best doing the obstacles avoidance compare to Mavic 2..I think because the size of the body....but anyway its great test.. Cherrrsss 👍
such a valuable video!
Obstacle avoidance, not jungle penetration!
Hi again! Random, but I decided that I'll use the 2 action cams I still have and I'll get a dedicated point and shoot or cheaper DSLR which will be better for me to shoot video in my low light setting.
My g7x mk 1 does a really great job in low light, but has a recording limit of like 8-10 mins then stops.
But I need something that can record at least 30 mins in 1 video, up to an hour-an hour and a half if possible.
Are there any point and shoots or DSLR's with no video recording limit?
Preferably in the $300-$500 price range?
Also, same situation: Don't need good audio, JUST great video in low light. That's really it.
Good vid, poor active track apas , reconsidering my order for 3 of these
If u want this feature skydio 2 or aural evo do a way better job.
I want this cleared up. The other day when flying just before sun up I had my Mavic 2 Zoom in positioning mode. I understand it has obstacle avoidance. Without warning it flew into a tree.
I was able to retrieve it unhurt.
Today I took it out and tried several things. Keeping it in positioning mode I flew slowly into
a gym. It stopped about 15' from the gym. I moved back, turning it around and backed it into the gym. Again it stopped 15' from the gym. I then moved it back from the gym and turned it sideways and moved it back to the gym. At no time did it stop or signal me danger. I tried the other side and it would have let me crash in to the gym.
I put the Mavic 2 into Tripod mode. This mode would not let me go forward, backward or each side to the gym.
Is my Mavic 2 working correctly. I know that Sport mode turns off all the crash avoidance sensors.
Any comments......
Did you enable APAS?
Mountain biking - the reason I bought the 1st Gen Mavic... 🙄
Telling the subject from the background and simultaneously avoiding obstacles is too much for the computing power of these... 🥴
Skydio 2 is orders of magnitude better than both generations of the Mavic (partially, because it uses a beacon which simplifies tracking the subject compared to visual tracking) but after watching a video where a guy took it mountain biking I think it's still not good enough for me...
I will wait for Skydio 3...
Atleast its stoping instead dodging!
Yeah it can dodge but its tought tondo that with leaves...
I'm kind of disappointed by the Mavic Pro in this regard. I'd expect it to do a significantly better job than the Mavic Air did. And instead it stopped quite often. Anyway, thanks for the video! I just had to turn the volume down when you were playing music, it's quite annoying to watch this way... 😂
Try it with the new Mavic Air 2
DJI needs a lot of improvements as far as obstacle avoidance is concerned
So basically it’s good but not great. Not a dealbreaker but not a major upgrade either.
Cheers Mate!
Thanks so much!
Not a bad video! I feel like this is stronglyyyy influenced by Peter Mckinnon's channel... Am I right?!
What?
The Everyday Daddy if you aren’t familiar w Peter McKinnon’s channel you should be... it is one of the most successful filmmaking vlogs ever and I see a lot of similarities between your channels
