- This is your complete beginner's guide to the DJI Mavic 2 Pro and Zoom. (upbeat music) If you're new here, my
name is Jeven Dovey, I do a lot of awesome
film making tutorials, I do some camera reviews. I also have a creator film
school, which is nuts to bolts, everything that you need to know to have a career as a
creator or a film maker. So this video is all about
getting you up and running with one of these guys. This is the DJI Mavic 2 Pro, it's got the nice camera on it. And then there's also the zoom, which allows you to do
the whole zooming thing. This is your beginner's guide, so what this is is nuts to bolts, everything that you need to
know to get up and start flying. So what we're gonna go through
is the outside of the drone, what you see on it, everything
about the controller. And then we're gonna dive into the app, so that you can understand
what all the buttons do, what everything is within the app. Then we're gonna go outside and we're gonna do our first flight, I'm gonna show you something
cool with the automation. And then basically from there
it's all about practicing and it's all about just
learning the drone, and figuring out the settings
that work best for you. My goal with this guide is to
get you up and running fast, so you can get out there and
start taking awesome photos, getting some awesome footage. Because you don't wanna
be having to stress about all the different buttons, because there's a lot that goes into controlling one of these drones. One note before we get started, I'm using the DJI Mavic 2
Pro for this entire tutorial. If you have the Zoom,
the only thing different is you have the zoom functionality. So there will be an extra menu
setting in your menu settings for how you control that zoom. And there's also going to be a way to control it on the
controller, whereas the Pro allows you to control the
aperture on the controller. So that's gonna be the slight difference, however everything else is going to be the same within this video. So in the description
I've also put a checklist, this is what you can do
from beginning to end. You can just follow this along, and by the end of this checklist, you'll be able to know
everything about your drone and know how to use
everything within the drone. It's a very easy way to get
up and running with this. So you could just go step by step, and as you go through the list you'll learn different aspects and you'll get familiarized
with your drone. (serene music) I know you wanna get out and get flying, but there's a few things
that are important before we go out and fly. The first thing you wanna do is open up and lay everything out, because we need to go through and we need to take the
stickers off of everything. As you can see, there are
stickers on every piece of this, covering the screens,
covering the sensors. And you just wanna peel all this off, especially on the Mavic itself. You're gonna find these tabs all over that you're gonna wanna just peel off because you don't want them
to interfere with your flight. And after you go through and clean up all the stickers that you see, we're gonna unfold the Mavic 2 Pro. So the first thing's first, we're gonna unfold the front feet first. Those pull forward. If you don't do this, your
back feet are gonna get caught. So now, you can undo the back feet. So now the next thing that you wanna do is take off the battery,
and we're gonna charge it. So, to take off the battery,
there's gonna be tabs on either side of the battery itself, and you're gonna click on both of these and pull the battery straight
up, that releases the battery. Now to put the battery back in, you can set it back in the slot and you have to actually
push and hear that click for it to be fully engaged
and not gonna come off. So I have the Flamewar pack, it comes with this cool charger that allows you to charge
up to four batteries. If not, you'll just charge
each battery individually. With your Mavic 2 you're
gonna have your power pack, and this is gonna charge the battery and also the controller. On the side of your power pack, you're gonna have a tab here that releases the cable
to charge your controller. So what you wanna do is go to
the side of your controller and there is a cable already plugged in. You're gonna unplug this, that's what connects to your phone, but that's also where you charge at. So now you're gonna
charge in your power pack, and then you're gonna
plug in your batteries, and now plug this into a wall and everything will start charging. You'll see on the screen of
your controller if it's charging and then on the batteries themselves, you'll see the green lighting up in the actual center of the battery. You'll see right on the battery itself, there are four indicators for how full the actual battery is. So this one right now is
only at a quarter percent, so I need to charge it obviously. And you just set those on the charger and just let everything charge. That is the first thing you wanna do besides the stickers and everything, and just get everything charged, because you don't want to go out and start flying with a dead battery. Next, we'll go over the Mavic 2 itself and show you everything on the drone. Okay, so we're looking at the front here. You got your two forward sensors, you got your dome that
protects the camera. Underneath this, there's a little tab, you're gonna pull this,
it's gonna release upwards and you're gonna wanna pull forward so you don't damage your camera. As you can see, there is a little tray that allows you to hold
your camera in place so it doesn't move around. Also on the front, both of
your antennas are right here. Your forward visioning system is here. And obviously your camera's there. We got your back visioning system here. Your aircraft status indicator on the back on the actual feet. You got some vents back here. And then on each of the sides you have your side positioning system. And then when we flip it
over we see a lot more. We have our downward positioning
system, we have our lights, we also have our downward infrared system. And then you also have your two tabs here. One side is for your micro SD slot, the other side has your button
to link your controller. So if you have an issue with
your controller linking, that's how you're gonna
link it is through that. You have a couple intake
vents on the front here, and some outtake vents back here. So when we put a battery on, like I said, you want it clicked, make sure it clicks. You press once to show how much of your battery indication is left, and you press and hold until
you hear the drone turn on. The battery indicator
will show that it's on, you'll get a sound, lights will light up, and your drone is on and good to go. Alright, so let's go over the controller, because you need to
know what everything is on the controller itself. So the first thing we're gonna do is pull out the thumbscrews which are in the actual
controller down here. And these just screw on easily, makes it really easy to
travel with this controller. Okay, those are in. Now we're gonna put our phone in. And you connect your phone
using the cable down here, put it in the tray and then make sure everything's connected. Next thing you'll do is
open up your antennas and lay them flat. So that is your controller set up. This button up here is your power button, you're gonna click once and then hold until it's connecting. And then all your information
will come up on this screen if you are ready to go. My drone is on, I am ready to go. So it shows you all your information here, as this is very important information, so you don't necessarily always
have to look at the phone or whatever screen that you're using. On the upper left hand side up here, you have your return to home button. So if you are out flying
and you want the drone to come back to you, you're
gonna push this button and it will go into return to home mode. This button here is your pause, which will pause when you're doing any sort of automation mode. You click this and it will pause the drone in the middle of that mode. Right here is your 5D button. And your 5D button is
customizable within the menus. Now let's move to the top. You have your photo button over here. You have your record
video button over here. And then you have your
two joysticks back here. On the Mavic 2 Pro, you're aperture is gonna be right here on the right, and then your gimbal control is gonna be right here on the left. Now when you flip it to the back, you have two more customizable
buttons right here. You can make these
whatever you want them to, and they're gonna be
in the menu to do that. And then on the side here, you have your three different modes. You have tripod mode, which makes it very easy
to get awesome footage. You have positioning mode
which is like standard. And then you have the
top which is sport mode, which makes it go really fast. Alright, that is everything
on the controller itself. Alright, the next step
after everything is charged is to test everything before
we go out and try to fly. We're gonna download
the app for DJI Go four. We're gonna put our phone in here, we're gonna turn on our controller and then turn on the drone. And we're going to connect everything to make sure it's working
before we go outside and actually play with it. And I highly suggest when you do this, don't put the propellers on yet because you don't wanna
have it take off by accident while you're testing it out indoors. So one of the big things is just don't fly indoors right away, you want to fly outside to start. Now we have the controller
on, your phone plugged in, DJI GO four downloaded,
turn on DJI Go four, turn on your drone, everything
should be up and running. You're gonna get your
activate Mavic 2 screen. So what you're gonna
wanna do is go through and set up everything in
the agreement, sign up, do everything, choose your aircraft name, all that good stuff. So it's gonna walk you step by step. Now that I've activated
it, I've gone through, I've turned everything on, you'll see an image on
my screen right in front. So that means that
everything's connecting, everything's good to go. Now let's go through the app itself before we go out and fly. I'm gonna go through and
explain everything in the app so you understand this before
we go out and actually fly. Alright, so now we're gonna
go over everything in the app that you need to know,
and just so you can see where everything is in the app, so that you don't have any
confusion when it comes time to find where to customize
buttons and all that. Now, when you open up your DJI Go four, you're gonna see updates
at the top of the screen if your drone is connected. So I'm gonna go through and download and update my drone now, because I wanna have the
most current firmware. I wanna make sure that I have
everything properly updated, because there are issues
and that's what DJI does, they go through and they update it, so make sure you update your drone. Alright, so now the drone is updated, we're gonna go into the control screen. Wait for a second, it will
pop up with some safety tips, you can read these. The different tips will pop up on the screen once in a while. Alright, so now we have
a picture on our screen. The first in the upper left
hand corner, the DJI icon. When you click that, it goes
back to the main screen. So that's just basically your home button. Next to that, where it
says Ready Go Vision, that's where you'll see if
it says you're ready to go, and it will be green and it will say GPS when your GPS is locked on. Right now, I have no
GPS because I'm indoors, so it just says Ready to Go Vision, so that means it's just
using the Vision sensors, it doesn't use the GPS in this setting. Underneath that you see the
bar with the red, the green, that shows a visual representation of how much battery you have left. When it hits that H, that's automatically gonna return to home, and you
can set that in your settings. Next to the status bar is
gonna be your flight mode. Next to that is how many satellites that you have connected
to the drone right now. Next to that is an indicator
for your Vision system, for the sensors that tell you when something's in front or back of you, or on top or bottom. Next to that is your controller strength, so how good your connection is. Next to that is your signal
strength for your video. It's showing HD full bars. And then next to that is gonna
be your battery indicator. So when you click any of
these buttons up here, it's gonna go to the menu
within the main menu system. So when you click the
Vision navigation settings, it goes right to all your
visual navigation settings. So if you wanna change
something specifically, you can just click on here. You can go to your battery, you can go into your image transmission, all that stuff right there. Now your upper right hand corner, this is your main menu
and we'll get into that in a second when we get into the menus, but that's the home page
for your menu settings. Now let's go down the left side. The first button is your take off. When you click this, it's
gonna slide to takeoff and that's how you take off if you don't wanna use
your thumb controllers. The next button underneath that
is the return to home button if you don't use the return
to home on the controller. Underneath that is where you
find all your automation modes. So this is where you find your HyperLapse, your ActiveTrack, your Tap
to Fly, all these cool modes. The really awesome stuff that
we wanna get into is here. Now this stuff is fun to play with and it's definitely one of
those things you just practice, you try all these different modes, they all do something a little different. QuickShot, QuickShot is really awesome because you can do some pretty cool shots by just clicking a button
and it does the rest for you. APAS is obstacle avoidance. Which means that it will go around an object if it senses it. Underneath that is your map. You can click your map and
it will go full screen. And it shows you exactly where you're at, and it can show you also restrictions about flying in the area. Alright, now let's go along the bottom. So next to this you have a
bunch of different things that tell you just information
about what's going on in your drone while it's in the air. So, distance where it says N/A, that is distance away from you. So when you fly away from you, you will actually see the numbers go up. And the same with the height. The height is next to that. So mine's in feet, how high my drone is. Underneath that, you'll see HS and VS, and that is horizontal
speed and vertical speed. Let's go up the right side. At the very bottom of the right side, you have your playback,
that's how you playback the footage that you've already shot. Above that is all your camera settings, we'll get into that in a little bit. Next to that is your camera position, so as you can see I go up and down, it goes up and down on the screen. Next to that is your record button. Above that is your camera or photo icon. And then you have your
lock for your exposure. So if you want it to
constantly be changing, you leave that off. But if you want to lock in the exposure that you currently have,
you can lock it there. Same with the focus,
you can make it manual or auto right here. Next to that show the
capacity for your SD card. And it will switch over
between your SD card or your internal memory here, and it'll show you what
you're recording on and how much capacity you have left. And it also shows what
you're recording at. And then next to that is all
your settings for your camera. So your ISO, your shutter, your aperture, your exposure compensation,
and then your white balance. And then in the center,
that's your visual sensors telling you that there
are things in the way. So if you come across a
tree that would pop up, it shows how many feet away it is. And then you can click the screen to be able to do your focus. Alright, so now let's get
more into the menu settings. First, let's go into the camera settings, these are most important just to get the best out of your image. I'm on video right now, so first we'll go through
the video settings. You have your tab up here which
goes for aperture priority, shutter priority, or full manual. And then you also have full manual. Aperture priority basically means that you set your aperture,
the drone sets the rest. Shutter priority is the same way. You set your shutter,
the drone sets the rest. For manual, you set both your shutter, your aperture and everything else. And then full auto means it
automatically sets all of that. Now in any of these modes
you can go down to your ISO, which is the next tab down, and you can set this
to be auto or not auto. So you could set your ISO independently. These are all your controls
for your exposure here. Underneath that is your aperture. So you can go from a F2.8, to an F11. And then you also have your
shutter underneath that. And then at the bottom, you
have your exposure compensation. So if we go back to auto,
what it's basically gonna do is give you your auto setting, and then if I want to make
it brighter from the auto, then I'm gonna go up on
my exposure compensation. So what it's gonna do, is
it's gonna take the auto from the drone and then
add two stops above. You basically set how much you want to overexpose or underexpose. But it does the rest in auto. So it's basically takes the auto settings and then under exposes it. So depending on what you're shooting, that might be a setting
that you play with, where you like your footage slightly underexposed
or slightly overexposed. Now let's go over to the camera settings. You can see your video size here. We have our frame rate, our video size. If you click down to HD,
you have all the way down to 120 frames per second down there. So you have to click on
the settings that you want, and then it will show you the
frames per second from there. Underneath that you have video format. So MP4 or MOV. Underneath that is your white balance. So this is where you
could set if you wanna do manual white balance or
just leave it on auto. Your style, this is where
you can adjust contrast, sharpness and saturation. So, underneath that is your color, which we got DLog, we got
HGL, and we got normal. And to be able to use these
settings of DLog and HGL, which makes basically the image flat, so it allows you to do
heavier color grading. You have to have camera
code at H.265, not H.264. And then when you go
into the next menu item, you have your Histogram, which is great for telling your exposure. You have your LEDs, you
can turn that on or off. You can lock gimbal when capture. You can show enable AFC mode, you can show an overexposed
if something is overexposed, it will give you zebras. Auto Sync HD photo, so that
means it's automatically gonna sync the photos to your phone. You have your grid, which shows some grid lines for composition, your center point, which gives you a bunch of different options
to put a center point on. Your anti-flicker, if you
have issues with flickering. You can go through and
reset your file indexing, depending on if you're doing a new shoot. Your peaking threshold,
so it shows you peaking, which shows you if something's in focus. It's a great tool to use,
that way you could see when you go back to the screen, how the camera's in focus
on the left hand side, but the drone in the
center is not in focus. So this is a good thing to use if you have issues with focusing. Save original panorama or Hyperlapse, if you're using those modes. Storage location, this
is where you could switch between your SD card or your internal. You can also format your
SD card, format internal, and reset camera settings. So that is all your
settings for video here. If we switch over to photo, you're gonna get a different menu when it comes to the second menu in here. So you'll have your photo options. You have your image size, you have your image format,
so you shoot jpeg or RAW. You have your white balance,
you have your style, and you have your color. So those are the different
settings that you have when you go into photo mode. Alright, so now let's go into
the main menu settings here. So in upper right hand corner, you'll bring up your main menu, and this is where you
go through and dial in all the settings for this drone. The top is gonna be your
main controller settings. So this is where you can reset
your home point settings. So you could set the aircraft position as a current home point. And then the little person
is to set the home point where you're standing. You can enable a dynamic
home point setting, which basically allows the aircraft to continually update the home point to its current position
while it's tracking a person. Return to home at current altitude, so the drone will just turn and return to home at
its current altitude. Next button down here is enable
your multiple flight modes. So that's the button on the
side of your controller, you have to enable it within
your menu to be able to use it. The next section is you can return to home at a specific altitude,
so you can set it here. There is a beginner mode which is good if you've never flown a drone before. This is great to just play with it. It'd basically allow you to
just fly in a 30 meter section, so that it allows you to learn your drone without flying too far. You can set your flight max here. You can also enable a flight distance max if you wanna put a limit on it. And then when we click
into our advanced settings, this is where you can
do some extra tuning. So you can play with these if you need to adjust the settings for how sensitive your
drone is moving in the air. The next down is your sensors. So you can calibrate your IMU here, so if you need to do an IMU calibration, that's where you'd do it. And then you also have your compass here. So if you need to
recalibrate your compass, this is the menu where you can do it at. The next setting is for cinematic mode, so it tells you what your
settings are for cinematics. You can play with those and adjust them depending on what you
want for cinematic mode. There are some more
settings down here on other. If you lose signal with
your remote controller, you can set this to return
to home, land or hover. That depends on how you want to use your return-to-home signal. You can turn off your head LED lights or turn them on within this menu. And then in event of emergency, now you can turn on your
stop motor method here, which in case of emergency, you do this and it will
stop the motors mid flight. Now we're into the visual
navigation settings. As you can see on the icon in the top, this shows you the different ways that the visual navigation can be used. So, it shows if all of them are available, only the forwards and
backwards are available, or none of them are available. It just shows you what
the different icons mean. You can enable obstacle avoidance, you can also turn off right here. Shows you, you can read through this and it explains what each
of the different things are that it will do for you,
using the obstacle avoidance. You can turn off the radar chart, so these on the front screen, you can turn that off if it annoys you and you don't wanna see it. You can have your bottom
auxiliary landing on, or turn it on auto, so if
it's a darker situation it will automatically pop on. And then when we go into
the advanced settings, we have some more when it comes
to your visual positioning. And these are more options, you can enable visioning
position, landing protection, return to home obstacle check. These you can all turn off here. So if you wanna play with your
visual navigation settings, turn things off because of a situation that you're flying in, you will go to this menu
and this is where you can turn things on or turn things off. The next is your remote
controller settings. Calibrate your remote controller here. You can go into your stick mode, I personally always use mode two. If you have a different mode you like, that's where you can change it. The remote control LCD introduction, this is great to look at and understand what everything is on
your LCD of your remote. So if you ever have a question,
come here and look at this and it will tell you what everything is. Now is the next section is all
about button customization. So you have your two buttons on your back. These you have a bunch of options you can set for your custom buttons. And then I like to toggle map
view and live view personally, just so I don't have to
touch the screen to do it, I can just flip it so I
can see the map real quick. Now the 5D customization,
this is another section that you can customize. Right now, mine is set to the general, but decrease EV and increase EV, that's for your exposure compensation. And that's great to have
so you can automatically, if you're having too bright of a scene, you can decrease it if
you're using auto settings, just on the controller itself and not have to go into your menu. And if you don't have
your controller linked, this is where you will
start the linking process, and the button is on the drone itself. Next, we'll go into
the image transmission. So this is the video that's
coming into your phone. So you can change your
channel to five six, or two four or both. Obviously you wanna use dual if you don't have any issues with it. You can set your channel mode. I always keep mine on auto. And then you could view your
status of your down link. And image transmission, you can go from HD or you can go normal. When it comes to the aircraft battery, this is where it shows
you all your settings. So right now my critically low battery warning is at 10%. You can raise this up and
make it whatever you want. Low battery warning at 25%, so that's when it tells you that it's low. And it's gonna start warning you. But when it's critically low, it's gonna turn around and return to home. Using smart return-to-home,
this button here, basically the drone is going to calculate how long it's gonna take to get home. And it's gonna do it
automatically when it has only that amount of
time to get home safely. Next, will show your flight time, how long you've been
flying on this battery. This is a new battery, so
it's zero minutes on it. And then you could also
show your voltage on screen, and it shows how many volts. So if you're someone that
wants to see the voltage of your battery, which could
be good for different scenarios such as like if it's a cold setting. This might be something that
you wanna have on screen so you understand your
voltage at all times. And then you go into details and it has more details
about your battery. Okay, the next section
is your gimbal settings. So you could turn on
your FPV or your follow, depending on what you're using. You go into your advanced settings and this is where you can change how fast your gimbal is
moving and how smooth it is. And then you could also enable or disable your upward limit. So, if you want your gimbal to point up, it goes up an extra 30 degrees
from zero, on or off here. You can adjust your gimbal
if the horizon's off, you can adjust it here. And then you can do an auto calibrate, which will auto calibrate the gimbal, so if you're having any issues, this is where you'll
go in to calibrate it. Alright, last is your general settings. So you could go to your
live streaming here. So this is where you could
set up your live streaming. It has calibrate map
coordinates for China. It has cache map in the background. And your video cache, what that
means is that it will cache a recording of your video in
your phone while it's going. So you can turn that on or off. And you could also record
audio from your phone while you're recording your video. Underneath that is the
clear cache automatically, basically the oldest files will be deleted as you record new files. This is also where you're gonna clear all the video files on your phone. These aren't the actual
files that you're recording, these are just the version of the file that's being recorded by
your phone during flight. So the actual files are
still on your drone. You can put in how you
want to enter full screen. So when we go back this, if
we wanna enter full screen, mine's on two fingers. So I click two fingers and
it goes to full screen. And I could take off all my
settings or bring 'em back in. Guys that is everything in the app itself. There's a lot of stuff in here, I highly suggest just going through this and working with it, playing with it, making sure that you know
where all your settings are. So when you're out flying, if you have something
that you need to change, you can understand where in
the menu you go to change it, and have everything set up
with your customizable buttons, because that will make
your flying so much easier, and much easier to get the
shots that you wanna get. Alright, I know if you're new to drones and you're new to this kind of a drone, there is a lot of different
information in the app. You'll get it, don't worry. But next what we wanna do
is put on our propellers and get ready to go outside and fly. So with the propellers, there's
ones that have black on them and there's ones that have white on them. And it's not the easiest to
see on the propeller itself, there's a ring around the center, one is black and one is white. And you match that up with
the motor on your drone, which is one black and one is white. And so what you're gonna do is line it up, push down and then turn the propeller and it will lock in place. That's how you know that it's good to go. Twist on it a little bit, make
sure that it doesn't pop off. To take it off, you push
down and twist again, and they come right off. So do that with all your propellers, make sure they're all on. Black with black, white with white. You're gonna fold in the back legs, fold in the front, like I said earlier. And now let's go fly. Alright, so now that you
have your drone set up, you understand the app, the controller, everything about the drone, we are going outside, we're gonna go fly. This is your first flight. If you've never flown a drone before, this is a scary moment, I would say. But if you've flown before, you just gotta understand the drone before you actually start
getting some really cool shots. So, to start out,
basically what you wanna do is get to an open area,
you wanna find a spot that is not restricted. So you wanna check the map, make sure that you're not
in restricted air space. And you wanna go somewhere
where you're gonna have freedom and the ability to fly and
not have people bother you. So, you don't wanna go somewhere crowded, you don't wanna go somewhere
where there's a bunch of trees. I mean, I've got these things
here, but that's not that big. There's nothing over here. So I got somewhere where I
can go out and I can go fly. Now there's a few things that you wanna do before you go out getting awesome footage, shooting awesome stuff. And the first thing is just to make sure everything's connected. You wanna make sure on the screen, that is says ready to go GPS. You wanna make sure that your
satellites are connected, all that good stuff. You have batteries, you
have a card in there. That's one of the key things,
don't go fly without a card. You do have eight gigs,
but that's very limited. So go make sure you have a card and then check the restrictions,
good to go, let's fly. There's two ways to take off. The first is actually
on the screen itself. You can just click the button, swipe, and then you can take off. The second way is by pointing
both thumb stick controllers inward or outward, as you
can see on the screen. And then it will start the propellers. Now what you have to do is
push up on the left joystick, and then you're gonna be able
to take off and start flying. I personally always just
use the thumb controllers and do it that way, and
then take off on my own. However, it is very easy to use the app. That's like the most basic way to do it, and especially if you're in an area where there's no issues
taking off or landing, that's the method I would say to use. Now the first thing you're gonna do before you start flying, is
you're gonna do a test flight. And by test flight, I mean
you're gonna take the drone off, you're gonna let it hover
for like 20 seconds, and you're gonna put it back down. And the reason for doing this test flight, is to make sure everything's working, everything's connected. As soon as you take it off, if there's any issues
they'll become apparent. And you don't wanna take
off and go fly somewhere, and then all of a sudden
your drone loses connection and you lose your drone or something. So, always do this, just take off, do a quick little test flight,
make sure everything is good. Everything looks like it's good on my end, so I can go off and I can start flying. And that's it when it comes
to taking off and flying. Now from here, it's just
learning how to get cool shots and then using the automation modes to see how you can get better shots. Now one automation move I
wanna go over while we're here is basically anything that
involves the tracking feature. And so what you're gonna do
is you're gonna take off, I'm gonna take the drone
off and I'm gonna show you by doing the screen record,
how you actually track. It's pretty easy. Okay, so now that the
drone's up and it's flying, I'm gonna bring in my active track. What you gotta do is draw
a box around your subject, it'll give you some warnings
if there's warnings. But now it's tracking me. So now you have options. You can do profile, you can do spotlight. I'm gonna do trace. And I'm just gonna say go. And so now it's recording, and it's gonna follow me wherever I go. (serene music) Alright, and now that I'm back, I'm gonna stop it by
hitting the stop button. And now I'm back to controlling
the drone on my own. And just like that, I've done a trace. Now there's different modes when you're doing the active track, but it's all the same in
terms of how you set it up. You're gonna get your subject, you're gonna draw the
little box around them, and then you choose your
mode and just go for it. When it comes to working
with active track, the biggest thing is just to practice, try different scenarios, be
in an empty kind of setting, because you want to try it out. You wanna learn what
every piece of automation you can do in this drone, so that when you're out
and you're in a situation where you wanna get a cool automated shot, you're gonna wanna do it without trying to learn on the spot. The key is, understanding how
everything works on this drone before you're in a situation where you wanna get awesome footage. And that's what this video is all about. And that's what practicing is all about. Alright, so from here, just
drain a bunch of batteries, fly a bunch and just
see what kind of footage and photos you can get. (upbeat music) Alright guys, I know
this was a longer video. There was a lot to cover in it, but I hope that this helps
you to get up and running fast with your DJI 2, whether
you got the Pro or the Zoom. I can't wait to see some
of the awesome footage that you guys can get with these drones. Alright, before we go, make sure you go down to the description, go check out my checklist,
it's just on my website. I'll put a link in the description, so you have a guide that you
can follow beginning to end, and be able to understand
everything about this drone. From here, it's all about practice, it's all about flying, so just
get out there, fly a bunch, and you'll be able to get
awesome footage in no time. One more thing before we go, make sure you go check
out my 20 biggest mistakes that beginner drone pilots make. It's a good video to watch after this one so that you don't make a dumb mistake. I've also got a playlist
down in the description that has tutorials on cinematic flying that will help you take your
footage to the next level. So make sure you check out
