    Dji Mavic 2 Zoom Gimbal Broken

    Hi All! New to the group and unfortunately I come bearing bad news. I was pushing my luck with my dji zoom and now I have a warning saying “gimball motor load to large” and “gimball obstructed”. The gimball almost rotates a full 360 but then stops on its final stages before being centre again...

    Working on low light footage with the Mavic 2 Zoom

    Been trying to play around with some low light flying, I set ISO to 100 and manually changed the shutter to get a usable exposure, I think it turned out pretty good. It's still a bit grainy, especially when looking directly at the sunset. I think I may have pushed the Zoom to it's max. If anyone...

    Hello from San Francisco! New Pilot

    Hello everyone! I appreciate the MavicPilot community for sharing and teaching. The passed year, I've been flying toy drones around the house. Shortly after, I moved up to the Bugs 4w with the goal to improve on my skills and buy the Mavic pro. I decided to by the Zoom instead. I am loving...

    One of the Mavic batteries not sitting flush (swollen?)

    Hey Guys, a proud owner of a Mavic 2 Zoom here. I’ve had the drone for about 10 months now. I got a fly more combo so three batteries and then I got two spares cause you can never have too many right? ;) Anyway, I just noticed one of my batteries is not sitting completely flush with the upper...

    Gimbal Sticker on New Mavic 2 Zoom?

    Just curious if this is supposed to be removed or if this is a part of the gimbal/drone. Not sure maybe it’s a sticker I missed? Maybe not. I don’t want to remove it if it’s imperative but I don’t want it to stay if it’s going to cause issues with the gimbal over time. Anyone else have this on...

    Mavic 2 Pro Can its camera zoom?

    Hi, As a newbie can anyone tell me please if I can zoom in with the camera on the above model? I've tried looking in the manual. Perhaps the zooming ability is restricted the zoom model and I just have to move the drone instead? Thanks, fellow pilots

    Use SD card in Smart Controller vs Zoom

    Aloha, newbie here with quick question. The Smart Controller and Mavic 2 Zoom have external Micro SD Card slots - is one better than the other to record video? Can you have a card in each and change record locations on the controller once one fills up?

    Hyperlapse problems

    Everytime I do a sunset hyperlapse something goes wrong and every couple of seconds the image turns darker, depending on the length of the hyperlapse it can happen a few times per hyperlapse. I will try to upload an example so you can see for yourself and help me fix this. I have all setting on...

    Mavic 2 Zoom - Zooming Issue?

    Quick question, I noticed while zooming in that there seems to be a shift in light. For example, everything looks normal when recording then when I zoom in, the image gets darker in some cases. I’m new to the zoom lens world, is that because less light is getting in the lens causes a shift to a...

    Is it possible?

    Hi everyone, I’m new to this forum. Recently purchased a Mavic 2 Zoom! I’ve been messing about with it and noticed the Hyperlapse mode significantly increases visibility at night! But of course hyperlapese beens your video is going to go very fast. Is it possible to film normal footage with...

    Mavic 2 - worried about turning of motors during flight

    Hi all, Been flying the M2 zoom for around a month and noticed in the settings that you can turn off the motors in flight - as far as I can make out this action is initiated by positioning the sticks as one would for starting the motors pre take off i.e. together or apart in downward...

    2 Zoom Issues

    Hi everyone. I would call it ‘3 Zoom Issues’, but getting the top of my finger cut off by the props while trying to catch it in the air is just my own stupidity. 1. I was flying in Tijuana, Mexico and was about 2 miles away from the drone when it lost signal. I panicked, but thankfully it...

    Hello from Silicon Valley

    I just got my Mavic 2 Zoom and the RE goggles. Flying in Silicon Valley is very restricted but I am looking forward to taking the Mavic on my business trips abroad. Haven't tested the goggles yet, but will do so tomorrow. Thanks everyone for the advice and information posted here!

    Can you zoom with the Mavic 2 Pro at all?

    I know it doesn't zoom like the MP2 Zoom does, but will it still do the old digital-style of zoom the way the old MP1 would do?

    Zoom roll-bar disappears ...

    I must be doing this wrong, but sometimes my zoom scroll bar is there on the right side of my screen, and sometimes it's not. I can't figure out when it's not ... how to get it back ... or what I did to make it go away. I know it's a stupid question ... but it's kicking my butt.

    Mavic 2 Zoom First Impressions, Unboxing, and test footage

    I've been flying the Mavic 2 Zoom since it arrived on Monday, and so far I'm loving it! I tried to film, edit, and publish this video the day I got it, but the editing and re-shoots took a lot longer than I expected.
