It was all the more confusing when I started tinkering nonstop with the settings. Now I'm back to the default one and learned to adjust my joystick movements from there!
Exactly what I say in the video :) thank you for watching
Great points. I always wondered why people keep saying it's better to customize the settings. The sticks work proportionally, so if you have the right touch you can make it go as smoothly or as fast as you want it to. Besides, I've been using the stock settings long enough to build muscle memory, and changing those settings really messes me up. ( I've tried it.)
Great video enjoyed it ..... I am presently using longer sticks ...a trick I learnt years ago flying Radio controlled aircraft.
Yes many people use longer sticks to give more control also, let me know how you get on trying it as you said when the wind dies down!
@@GAVINHR Certainly will keep in touch. I posted a video of smoke from the Forest fires near our city, We are still blanketed by heavy smoke and are hoping to see some wind direction change and clear us up a bit. Breathing for some people have been difficult for some of our locals. Take a moment and have a look its actually a short video.
Stock settings are pretty good and change flight mode - I do feel especially your yaw motion can't be slow enough. The EXP and Proportional settings are not available in the fly app, but I agree they have applied some default settings here as well that are workable.
Great advice Gavin, over the last few months i have reverted to and adopted the standard Gimbal settings more out of frustration and the belief that less is more when flying the mini 2. I just found it easier to work with one gimbal setting all the time in C/N/S modes, and learnt that a finer touch on the controls is the way to go, still working on that, but agree 100% with you, also gave me more confidence flying under bridges or short tunnels, relatively confined spaces etc.
My biggest difficulty at the moment is pinching the stick with thumb and forefinger and trying to use the Gimbal scroll wheel at the same time as controlling the drone, being right handed i find this difficult to coordinate with my left hand, but i guess its just practice and more practice....A lot more practice in my case!
Haha I'm sure you will get there! I am right handed also so it was difficult at first but practice will get you there ! I think part of my issue is that I film ships which of course move! So I have to nail it almost first time ! But yes, practice using the stock setting then get better over time and then adjust for the finer ones
Thank you!
Like it Gavin, years ago and I mean near on 35 years ago I was taught to fly fixed wing aircraft by holding the sticks with thumb and first finger and make very little stick movement to control the aircraft, and in those days we never had cameras on board But it did make that a Mustang look pretty realistic in the air! Great video bud! 👍👍
Thank you very kindly David, exactly! Just careful flying and minimal inputs, learn to do that and then play with settings to finish it off. I know I'm going against the grain from other RUclipsrs but hey, I'd rather stand out than send viewers on a wild goose chase in the never ending hunt for the right setting when the secret is your fingertips
Big trickster you are man!! LOL
Hey change C Mode settings to the slowest speed and the maximum buffer! Try that. I love it! Still not as smooth as my Mavic Mini but darn close!
This has always been my biggest or only gripe about the Mini 2! One would think with the above settings it would be tremendously slow but it's not!
Another thing I do is use longer sticks.
One thing that would be nice is a option for the Fn button would be to change modes. That way if you had the above settings and got into trouble with one button by your thumb you could speed it up. Heck that might be an option. I forget. Let me look.
Although normally if it's a gust of wind lowering the drone usually helps.
Haha yes ! I thought that would be a fun trick for people! Longer sticks are very popular I must admit. Totally agree the yaw speed on the Mavic mini is about perfect to be honest
Sound: Manufacturers probably spend a lot of time testing settings in focus groups so that their factory settings give the most users the best results. I rarely need to vary gimbal settings, it takes too long to get used to the new ones. You are better off adjusting the frame rate so you can adjust movement in post.
Really depends on what you need. I often want to precisely adjust orientation of a shot so certain things are level, so it is crucial for me not to have any smoothness.
Good work again Gavin. As you say, the secret is in the Sticks!
Absolutely my friend! Thanks for watching
Lol! You got me there! Anyway, you are correct on that part! It's ok to play with the pitch and yaw numbers, but I think what will get you the best shots would be tons and tons of practice!
Absolutely ! Hopefully people practice more and become better and safer pilots
Thanks Gavin great video 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You're welcome ☺️
Nice information, I'm a stock guy also
What would be nice is if you could introduce some "exponential" control function. Good aeromodelling RCs have this, and it does make it easy to make small smooth movements as well as large fast ones.
Yeah one thing, which might be what you are saying is a curve. Say at 50% switch to a curve increase or ramp higher from there up. 0 - 50% be a straight slow increasing line but at 50% curve it up to max or at least 3/4.
Seems like betaflight or iflight gives similar options.
But yeah give some type of curve that we could set to kick in anywhere from 10 - 80% and maybe a max setting of where that curve stops or max for full stick depending on mode. This way you could even limit max speed for S mode too. Full curve / stick settings for each mode.
Honestly this is why I wanted to build my own. I got a Betaflight F3 been sitting in the box for......oh 3 years or more now! LOL
Great video Gavin 💪🏽
Wow so much still to learn thanks for the info👍👍
Great Video, and Information. Thank you.
Well done,.. thank you!
Thank you!
Very cool info, Gavin... We changed the Cine and Normal settings but left the Sport settings stock for reasons you mentioned... Although, Sport mode is a little intimidating... lol
Oh I fly in sport mode all the time I love it! Especially the Air2s in fpv mode ! So so much fun! Thanks for watching guys!
@@GAVINHR lol. Oh I’m gonna get there man.
Proportional is the word you’re searching for.
Cheers Gary! That's the one.
Thanks for the video, I needed to find something like this, useful!
As a newbie, really find the thing moves too quickly in cine mode (and yeah, I'm being gentle with the sticks)
Does the dji mini 2 have to be in flight before you can change the gimble settings?
I’ve tried factory settings i find them ok thanks Gavan great video
Yep, stick everything back to stock - practice smoother movements then make adjustments if needed and you will get much better results
I had to use smooth gimbal movement over a waterfall on my last video and it worked very well in factory settings
Thanks mate I've been whating to change my settings hahaha and you reminded me hahaha. Your a champion mate thanks again 👍👍👍😷😁
Good job 👍 Thanks for sharing
Hey buddy, any chance you can do a video on how to do all the different calibrations on the mini 2?
It's something I could look to do yes
ya its important to set your gimbal settings ,i normally keep my settings on smooth and slow on cinesmooth mode and like quick on sport and i guess in the middle on normal mode but ya its extremely important to have those settings on slow and smooth if you want cinematic videos
Your commented Recommended Settings list? Where is it please???
Hi Gavin, i have just returned from a rather long lay off from flying my Mini 2 and discovered that there are no "Advanced Gimbal Settings" on the dji fly app!!
having spoken to dji in a chat i find that they are now in another area called "gain and expo tuning" ! this is very confusing as the settings are changed and seem to allow a lot more leeway.
I would value your comments please, and any tips on what settings to use on the mini 2 now?
Gerald
Dexterity
Great, but does the Mini 1 switches between 2.4 and 5.8 while flying?!
😉🤣🤣
(Just kidding 😉 I know it doesn't!)
Hahaha! Brilliant!
AAAARRRRRGGGGHHHHHH!!! I've tried quite a few settings from other folks ut just didn't think the factory settings might suit me. I'll let you know tomorrow. Cheers Gavin :-)
Absolutely! Learn to use smooth controls using the sticks and gimbal wheel then once you can fly smoothly then you can play around with settings after 😌
Thanks Gav, great video.. I was always a bit overwhelmed by each mode, which settings to apply to normal, cinema and sports. Normal would be easy to set but do you set the the other two the same, do you make them even slower, should sports mode have its own slow cinama settings!! Who knows.. I think a reset should solve this. Haha..
Great video again!!, question how is it with the distance lost connection problem.
I have still the horizon gimbal problem with the latest firmware
Hey there lad, I was just watching trying to learn a bit and I believe that you just captured a UFO on camera. Unfortunately I wasn't able to screenshot it, check it if you want, it was around 6:05 / 6:06.
Useful advice though.
When I used “Stick to” a subject (to rotate around the subject) I couldn’t record video. Why couldn’t I record? What should I do? Thanks a lot.
The yaw is the only setting I mess with. I change yaw speed in Normal mode to 30 and in Cine to 6. Stock yaw settings are just too fast to make good video. 30 in normal mode is fast enough to maneuver if needed. 6 is slow, but makes great video. If you need to maneuver, you shouldn't be in Cine mode.
I'd just like to reverse the direction of the gimbal pitch control wheel...It's backwards IMO...Not alone in thinking that either...So frustrating, the number of times I get it wrong..😳😳🙄🇬🇧
Came here exactly for this.. was wondering if there was a way to reverse it
👍
Thank you good Sir
I don’t have the gimbal advance setting pls help
It will be Fountain Project it will show a picture of the boat.
I can’t find the advanced gimbal settings
👍🏼🙏🏼👍🏼
Thank you!
Hi all. Can anyone here tell me what happened to my Mini 2. It was my first ever trial and was indoors. It took off fine at the altitude of 1.2m and hovered, then it started moving forward on its own. I had no control at all as much it crashed into the wall. Fortunately nothing broke. Then second time I tried is, as it hovered at 1.2m the motor suddenly roared and went into full speed, fortunately I could grab the drone and hold onto it and press the power button to then it off. The drone was really warm too. Is this a drone problem or operator? One more question, do you need to calibrate the GPS every time before flying? Many thanks in advance.
I still think its weird that they have aircraft yaw in the gimbal settings. in fact I wish they would give us that much control over all aircraft directions.
You need to sort your horizons
That is why so many people dont like english guys....Not because of their food! 😉
