DJI should be paying you for this, imagine how many Mavic 2 Pro they have sold from this video. Thanks for awesome review anyway.
He probably is getting paid.
Nope
@@DustinDunnill I feel bad for u
@@DustinDunnill Not even through their affiliate program? Missed opportunity..
I agree, bought my pro due to his review
This video was the actual cause of me going out and buy the damn drone the same day. Lol!! I absolutely love it!! My heart pounds with excitement every time I take it out.
Eventually do a battery mod and a titan controller mod and it gets even more exciting. LOL
just shoot it up ！
Digital Dazzle Photography lmao same boat! I’m not even a photographer 😳 I just ordered.
Is it easy to fly?
@@andresjflores7517 The easiest thing I've ever flown. To be honest. It practically flies itself. LOL.
This is so far the best channel to learn about drones, Ive just finished the mavic mini playlist. This vid is 2 years ago but i wont care since im enjoying this much. Just wanna say thank you Dustin - your new fan from Philippines!
Dustin, loved the test! You’re the best! Don’t have time to fly my own so I really enjoyed your flight! Thank you so much!
I’ve gone 4.55 miles and then successfully returned all the way home with my Mavic 2 Zoom. A couple of little glitches with the video signal, but was generally solid the whole time. Landed with 9% battery if I recall.
maybe if its totally flat without hills and trees
This is absolutely beautiful!
Thank you for sharing this with us. I am impressed with the range and flawless image transfer from that thing. great video. Keep up the good work
Dustin, this is a fantastic video! I'm impressed with the camera footage that you where able to capture with the Mavic 2 PRO
Excellent video. One of the best I have seen on the M2P.
So excited to realize you were in Hawaii when shooting this. Those trade winds are harsh on Maui, I've been blown across the island on a bike with the wind to my back they're so strong. Lovely time lapse of Haleakala behind the clouds. Great review on the distance test. Just picked up a DJI pro 2, and have only flown line of site, this vid you shared was impressive with how far you actually could go and not loose a signal, thanks for the share....
Great video! Thank you for taking your time and show us this!
Cool video bro, simple and easy, keep it up bro, two thumbsup 👍👍
As always, an excellent unbiased informative video. Thank you.
Bro, been watching your videos and I want one so bad.
Live in the UK and there so many gorgeous places I could fly it.
Tha is for all these videos I shall keep on watching until I have enough money saved to get one:-)
Top job and happy droning 🤣👍
Oh yes was waiting for this! Keep Mavic 2 videos coming please!
Nice flight time test. Brings back memories of when I worked a special assignment on Kauai 38 years ago and stopped in Maui on my way back home to say hello to my brother in law. Back then I was into golf and did 54 holes in one day. If the sun didn't go down I would have been out there longer. I think with a few more tests you might discover a way to overcome the optical and other questions. Thanks Dustin.
When clicking the trigger to turn the lights on and off there are 3 settings it toggles between. On, off, and auto. This is why it takes and extra press to get it on since it is going into auto before going to on.
I can’t believe I watched the whole thing and I loved it!
Lol it was cool dude I liked it too. No loss of signal was cool also 👍
That was fun to watch again! Amazing job, i believe this can even go further! DJI also said precidion landing is soon coming via update. Its going to be precision landing 2.0 allegedly. Lets see!
Gotta get one. That's a bad ass drone. Bad ass video too. Thanks. Happy flying.
That timelapse was actually amazing quality and footage in general
Been waiting for this for weeks. Dustin makes the best range tests in the RUclips, period.
He really does. I dont watch anybody else on the range test. I did however watch someone do 20,000 feet on this with no problems. Cant remember the video, but he was shaking and forgot to hit the record button . Dustin is just a professional and does a great job. Plus who doesn't love looking at beautiful hawaii
I agree. Dustin's range tests are realistically executed with real life situations (wind, battery, interference affect) and not lab-tests. I personally feel that this channel deserves more recognitions and I'm really surprised that it has not reached 100K subscriber mark by now. Keep up the great work, Dustin.
Maybe in a year or two, Mr Dustin will have more than a million subscribers!!
Agree!!
ive done 14 k on the mavic pro
Hi. After a lot of consideration and viewing various reviews and test flights including yours. I’m pleased to announce the birth of a new Drone to my family....yes, I’ve made the step up to Mavic pro 2😁.
Only thing is, Jessops have not dispatched yet for obvious reasons out of their control COVID 19.
A really big thank you to you and all other you tubers for great reviews. I can’t wait to start using it and learning new photography tricks.
My son’s are going to inherit my two Beebop 2’s now😊
These drones are amazing. They fly for miles with no interruption. Man
Great presentation. I've been holding out for a while looking at the various companies making drones for recreational and commercial use. The quality of the "recreational drones" are catching up with the commercial use/Gvnt. ones quite rapidly. 4K HD is great but add thermal NV to it and now you're in a whole other realm.
I really miss living in Maui, and when I lived up country where you are, I was on five acres with 15 banana palms and five varieties. There were guavas, papayas, mangos and avo's. I was so healthy there. Paradise.
You can get a spare drone. cheaply
Free Speech no WiFi, it has Ocusync a whole different world
Not allowed to fly at night.
@@robertsilversphoto3170 Unless you have a waiver. Those are actually surprisingly common.
Parrot Anafi is thermal
omg the video quality is amazing on this thing
Great job as usual man, love the drone!
Great footage on this range test Thanks Dustin
I love your vids man
Who doesn't
You are so calm and collected. I can barely let my new drone out of sight without sweating bullets, haha.
Right !! I hear ya lol
Really enjoyed the review!! Excellent video Dustin!!
one of the most beatiful drone videos of all time ... epic landscape ... epic colours
this video makes me want one of these incredible stuff right here
Make sure you calibrate your compass and imu before each flight for more accurate rth landing. I do this with all my dji drones and it helps tremendously. Thanks for the video. Love the range test.
Not sure you want to calibrate the imu out in the field. I always do that on a perfectly level floor at home. Compass at flight location is good practice though 👍
Always love your videos Dustin.
Good movie thanks for the time and effort, ive owned the dji mini for amonth now and love it but will be buying one of these in the next 8 months. keep the vids coming
Thank you. We've had a good time with you on that trip
?
This is the video I've been waiting for. Now I don't have to do a range test :D. The 1" sensor is really going to show it's self better when you're in lower light settings or when you compare the color depth between the two. In bright light I didn't think the difference was that great. Another tester (Captain Drone) compared the camera to the Evo -- the evo actually looked more natural in every shot except the ones at sunset.
Wow...Hawaii is beautiful!!....Go go mr Dustin!
awesome video bro! After completing the 10 battery charge cycles, take it to go investigate that little body of water at 8:19. It will be epic to see you go close to it all the way from your house. Again, great video
I like the way you've structured and edited your videos mate! Just discovered your channel and you've convinced me to subscribe straight away.
Okay that was amazing!! WOW
awesome. Love the time lapse feature. Will be taking her out next week and putting the camera to the test.
im glad someone did a range test on the mavic pro 2 cause in the next couple weeks im plannig on getting one. Nice thanks
Can you buy one for me bro...😁😁😀😀😊😊
Love the channel keep up the great work. This is the best review channel ever. Dustin it would be cool if you did a review on the xiomi x8 se.
Thanks! Yes the X8 review is coming 👍
It looks like your flying over a model of Hawaii in somebody's basement. It's just absolutely beautiful !
I really wanted to get the autel but couldn't pull the trigger on it. Just a weird feeling In the gut. I went with the zoom and I love it. I would have been happy with the autel too but i just know what to expect with dji, i was literally scraping pennies to get it. I just wanted everything to work good.
Nice one dustin, looking forward to the zoom testing. Great job👍🏼
🙂👍
Awesome video mate, loved it. Many thanks. Thumbs skyward !
PS, the gradients and the detail in the grass and the difficult to capture moisture in the distant air look outstanding on my Galaxy S5. Mahalo and Aloha!
An s5? That thing's a dinosaur
@@lunaticfpv17 lol who cares about the age of someone’s phone we are dinosaurs if you think about it.
@@stringsattached67 obviously with a shitty phone you can't see the true quality image that the drone puts out dumbass
I watched it on 65" 4K. and I think the camerea is very sharp, and smooth in the light. Its an awesome cam brow
The 1 inch sensor has a shallower depth of field than the 2/3 sensor. Which definitely can make for a less’ ‘sharp’ image out from the focus plain. Probably just a matter of changing the f stop. Keep up the great vids!
Yea what I noticed is that the m2p has a very vanilla auto camera setting. When you really tune up the settings, the images and video look amazing. It is a pro after all, not a mavic 2 amateur
@Al Castillnah. 5-6 is the sweet spot.
Mick Harrison for landscape f/11 is where it’s at
Hi
Came over from Free Bull, I'm enjoying your episodes So I am subscribing, Keep it up 😎👍
Tap the power button once on the remote during the RTH beeping and the beeping will stop.
I've tried that before on Mavic Air and it just canceled RTH. Maybe they updated?
@@DustinDunnill I think it is new for the MP2. I have only read about it. Maybe it's not true?
@@DustinDunnill Apparently it's in the manual and does in fact work.
mavicpilots.com/index.php?threads/46175/
Great to know
Thanks. Your right. I tried it yesterday and the beeping did stop so it must be an update since my Mavic Air review 👍
I would say you are close to optimal positioned for a range test. Definitely very good.
I got an Mavic air last year, and I am definitely satisfied with the 4k footage. But it's suseptable to radio interference in the wifi band witch makes range very hard to predict depending on city or country flight. But RTH always works excellent so you get signal back in seconds. When the weather is better here I might buy a Mavic pro2. Thanx for the review.
From what I can see the video colors lacks a bit of saturation and crispness.
Great review as always mate :)
Wow, that's very impressive! Thanks for the review.
Hawaii offers some of the best pics if one seeks to capture for Post Card Pictures. I was there in Honolulu in April visiting my son. Great drone too bro, the parameters on it tops.
Sweet! I am liking the Pro 2! I may have to get my hands on the Pro 2 Zoom!
I was going to get the pro 2 zoom but it has 1/2 in screen where the pro 2 has a 1" screen makes a better video I think. Both 4k and nice but pro 2 has better video. You know why it has zoom ? Cause the pro 2 has better video cause of the 1" screen. The pro zoom has to zoom in to see as well as the pro 2 I just get a little closer with the pro 2 to great video. I think the zoom working will shorten your battery life faster also. Just my thought about it but investigate videos on both and you'll know yourself.
Can’t they just swap out the camera or is the programming all different?
That was a very good Flight. Thank you for the Video.
Excellent video and presentation as always....
The Pro if perfect for color grading. you'll get way better results in post.thats where you will notice a huge difference
You’re a brave man I wouldn’t try that with my first gen mavic
Wel done Dustin, congrats.
I agree with the sensor. Underwhelmed. I think most people are still in the honeymoon stage with this drone and they think everything is perfect with it. P4P camera is better. This is still a great drone and arguably the best on the market right now. Great work as usual Dustin!
4:42 I see you are shooting in an f/2.8 aperture, so when you autofocus towards the center the edges tend to be blurred because your aperture is so high. It is normally a good idea to have a higher f stop for landscape such as f/11 or f/8 aperture, you will see that the blurriness will disappear :)
Thanks
@@DustinDunnill leave it to us photographers. lower number apeture open more allowing more light in thus creating blurry effects like bokeh. high number apeture closed letting in less light further field of depth clear better color
The sweet spot for aperture on the mavic pro 2 is between F4 and F5.6 I believe
@@oscarhodges looking for my first drone and hearing saying all this stuff i feel like u guys talking about science lol
@@platano3000x me too. what stuff are they talking about lol
I’m heading to Best Buy this weekend !! 🤟🏻
Awesome video! Truly an amazing drone, I really want to get one and learn to use them. This video demonstrates how advanced they are now for consumers. I believe I'll get a mini 2 or old spark to learn on.
Thanks for the test!
Great video Dustin. Pretty surprised that the MP2 does not have precision landing. I use it all the time with my Mavic [though I don’t need to] coming in handy in a lot of scenarios [at the beach with my landing pad for instance.] Not being into professional photography I think my Mavic Pro more than meets my needs. I won’t be “trading up” any time soon. Some breathe taking shots of Hawaii. Brings back my 80’s military [Navy] time.
I've seen screenshots of several posts by DJI support persons claiming that precision landing will be included in future firmware updates.
Precision Landing 2.0 is coming
🤞🙂🤞
Precision Landing came out a couple days ago in a firmware update
Finally! 🙂
im watching this now and wooooow what that drone can do..... i was scared in your place. its very nice that you make this video. here in europe its forbidden to fly that high and that far.
The camera is awesome. And the ocusync 2.0 doing a great job
Realey nice review mate love it don 👍👍👍👍💕
I have been comparing with autel evo range test, and the FHD fpv that ocusync provides is way better. Not so easy to appreciate it in the smartphone, but in the TV the difference is evident. The 4k video looks gorgeous to my eyes. It has less digital sharpening by default compared to many other drones, but it still looks great. However to extract the best from this camera dlog color profile is probably the best option.
So you think the evo is better tho?!
Press power button once to stop beeping in RTH. Enjoy the silence
on your phone you mean?
Doesn't work for me. Oh well. Beepity beep boop beep
@@benevolent6705 on controller, its in the manaul
Fantastic video. You really trust the drone. I would be terrified to fly that far. Well done.
Excelllent video pity about camera yes lots reports of same problem , cant wait for next range test exciting stuff
Toggle the lights - press once, turn to auto, press twice, turn to on, press three times, turn off... it's a three-way toggle, not on/off.
Paul iiiiij
Drlqpqaagahh uk
I have it now it is really good
Great video as always.
so sick ! i just brought one with the smart controller cant wait to get it
Amazing video and narration, thank you! It is great to see the more strenuous testing of the mavic 2 pro. I am new to all things drone, only been at it for maybe 3 weeks and DJI spark is my current trainingwheels but once I’m comfortable enough want to get a top of the line drone.
Kind of a silly musing but I’m super curious how far it could do if battery life were not a concern. Not sure if anyone has yet but it would be pretty cool to see it’s absolute maximum flight distance before experiencing screen glitching. Need to set up a battery relay lol Just have someone waiting 2 miles out or so with a fresh battery. Land at them, pop in new battery, and keep going.
No real reason or motive, just my curiosity :p
Check out my maximum range test up in a few hours 👍
Mavic 2 Pro will be your best drone these days in the mid-range drones 👍
It will go past 4 miles and keep signal good in areas that don't have powerlines and factorys and electric lines or towns. Out of town on a hill or high place without obstructions in an open area will give the best signal strength. I live in town so I can't fly far without losing signal to video but the drone doesn't loose signal just the camera does.
3.6 miles without a single glitch is amazing the only thing limiting his is rules and battery🙂
I noticed that he also had 19-20 satellites. That helps a lot.
I think he is way passed rules. 3.6 miles isn't line of sight. So just battery life then.
Satelites only track the drones position. It doesnt give any range.
Learn something new every day!!! Thanks Askaly.
@@bfr0g haha funny joke, nobody in the world has followed the line of sight rule. If you follow that rule you can only go about 100 feet, thats bs!
Hey Great Footage, I really like it subscribed!!
Awesome video dude! That must have been scary! Glad you made it though! I am going to Maui this winter break, and I bought a spark to take, so I hope to get some good footage. I subscribed and I wish you good luck!
Great informative demo!, The issues you mentioned regarding the picture quality could be down to shooting F2.8 meaning wide open. With any lens you will see softening on the outer edges at this widest Fstop, when there is good light its best to avoid this when you have time try some tests at F4 / F5.6 and the image should be better at this 'sweet spot' and absent from edge blur. Try one at F16 and it will look awful lacking contrast and sharpness making it look like SD!
Exactly! Was hoping someone would point out shooting with wide open aperture.
Exactly! If He had that aperture set higher to maybe f-8 or f-11 he would have seen a magnificent difference! At that distance f-2.8 is shit! That Hasselblad is one of the best camera manufactures in the world and I doubt that lens has a fault! Besides this review every other review I have seen says this lens is far better than any of the others! My money is on the Mavic 2 Pro and Hasselblad lens! If you don't understand lens and their features of aperture and shutter speed you are lost on any lens!
I didn't realize he was shooting at f/2.8, that is an f stop for very low light conditions, not flying into the sun. For example, taking photos of the Milky Way at f/2.8 is appropriate.
That, and it looks like he was shooting in standard h.264. You can’t access the 10-bit color and better compression without shooting in h.265. This also allows you to shoot in the log profile which has much better dynamic range. I think shooting auto-settings on any camera will produce disappointing footage
Appreciate all the input.
Just had one of these delivered to my house directly from China. I’m scared shitless to touch the box
let the neighbor unbox it lol
Lol that's funny dude. Its the DJI Corona Pro 2 haha I'm sorry dude but dang that's got me thinking about my next drone too. Be careful brother and wear gloves and a mask or stay 6 feet away from it till figure out how to decontaminate it before you fly. Lol
Thanks! This is great info!
Hi Dustin! I experienced the same thing on my Mavic 2 Pro when engaging the bottom landing lights. I read the manual, and there are 3 positions: ON, OFF, and AUTO. So when you click, they come ON, next click they go OFF, next click places it in AUTO, then the subsequent click turns them on again. That is why there seems to be a “dead” spot. Love your range tests in Hawaii! The videos are beautiful, and I really like how you push the drones! Hitting the Subscribe button now. Looking forward to more range tests!😃🛩
Setting distance records is great for drone manufacturers. They get to sell you two drones...
not for dustin
Brilliant really enjoyed that couldn’t fly today in the UK it rained all day
This is so cool
Thanks for the flight test
When I get a new drone, you are the first channel I turn too
Thank you 😊
Great to see the range test on your new Mavic 2 Pro, thank you very much, that was a long test for sure!! BTW, would you please let you know the make and model of iPad sunshade you're using that would be very helpful because I just bought a iPad for my Mavic Pro, Thanks You!
I think he put a link to the sun shade on the features vid
Thank you, I must have missed it.
You need to increase the Aperture so everything can be in focus around f5.6 should be good.
Dustin your videos are awesome, i have been a fan for the past year keep it up brotha!! I am a proud owner of the Mavic 2 Pro also. The reason your footage wasn't as good as you were expecting is because most of your camera settings were in AUTO ISO/White Balance and Aperture. The M2P camera settings must be set in Manuel to get the awesome clips others are getting on RUclips. You will see a huge difference setting it up correct in Manuel.
Thanks Steven. I'll give manual cam control a try in my future vids 👍
awsome vids thanks very very informative .
precision landing 2.0 is coming in a future firmware update. It has been confirmed on twitter by DJI
Taking into account the Evo does work with Android, the ability to fly anywhere because their is no NFZ, a flight screen on the controller, 60FPS, $450 less and you don't have to deal with DJIs notorious poor customer service, I think I'm sold on the Evo. I wish Autel would put out their 1" sensor so we could compare apples to apples. As always fantastic range test review. No one does a better job than you Dustin. Good job rembering to bring the landing pad :)
The zoom version has only the zoom feature to show, in everything else regarding the camera is inferior to the EVO as it cannot do 4K@60fps. We are living in 2018, 4K@60fps is ESSENTIAL in video production (4K monitors and displays are everywhere and are pretty cheap).
DJI has great customer service now to be honest. Make sure you get the DJI refresh and your good to go
@@muzikmon2267 I had an IOS phone but ditched it. I love Apple computers but prefer Android for my phone. The props in the shot is very annoying but a slight down tilt apparently fixes the issue. Still though...come on Autel, how did that slip by R&D?. The NFZ is a big one for me.
@@muzikmon2267 What's really confusing is the Evo tends to show props on the top left and rarely on the top right. Logic says that the position of the Evo camera must not be dead centered under the body. Whether it was a patent issue or not, there is no reason to have any props in the shot. It's 2018. Seems that the Autel was rushed to market. I might pick one up but only after they fix their horizon tilt and the jerky video when using Orbit mode. It's all about money isn't it.
Sorry John but I wouldn't hold your breath on Evo coming out with a 1" camera. Their track record for deliverables is abysmal.
I got this last May and phew this is an amazing beast
Very well done. Thank you!
