Does the MP2 remember the settings inputted...?

[Captain Oveur]

Can I ask a learners question. I just got my new Mavic Pro 2 and have been watching the video about best camera and gimbal settings.

So 2 questions actually: can I only set these on the controller when the drone is switched on? Second question, if I add recommended settings, will the controller/drone remember these or do I have to reset them every single time I take the drone out for a fly? Any help here greatly appreciated. Another way of asking this, is that if I set the drones pitch/yaw settings and then set the camera to say cinematic mode, 4K 25fps, .MOV, H265, Dlog, then switch the drone and controller off for a few days, does it remember these settings next time I switch the unit on? Any help greatly appreciated. Dan

Settings are remembered at least until next time you upgrade firmware, or change a setting that affects others. Yes you need to have everything powered on and connected to adjust anything.

And remember to remove the gimbal protector when you power on the drone. The gimbal goes through movement gyrations and needs to do that or you can injure the motors.

Thank you Kilrah. You know I find it a little odd that you can’t select the settings until the drone is switched on. It means the only time that you can learn how to navigate the menus is when the drone is in flight.

Yep. I have left it on once or twice! Have you noticed that the gimbal protector actually scratches the top of the camera?

It's perfectly normal, since those settings are stored on the drone itself. Can't adjust things on a powered off device.

Not at all, powered on on your bench is just fine. I said powered on, not in flight.

You can power on your Mavic at home and go through the menus there. There's no need to actually put your Mavic in the air before viewing/changing the settings.

Some folks have complained about the protector scratching. I have not noticed the problem.

I think it would be useful if they added profiles to the DJIgo4 app so you can pre-set for certain circumstances.
