 What is up guys and welcome back to the Johnny Q channel. Thanks so much for watching today's episode is all about drones drones drone This guy the DJI Mavic air. I almost said Mavic Pro So before we get into the Mavic air and why I love it so much and why you should get it Let me show you some beautiful Mavic Air footage Q that intro video What I want to do is actually bring the drone home. So instead of landing it by myself This is what I can do take my gloves off come down to the app here. I'll go to little H I'll slide over RTH stands for return to home if your drone's way out in the boonies and you can't see or get it RTH button and it'll return home. So as you can probably hear it's coming down by itself And all I have to do is just wait for it to come down and Boom just like that. It's returned home Let's just touch on the fact that you can get aerial footage from this thing in 4k Like what you just saw was 4k at 24 frames a second. That is crazy insane I remember like five six years ago. You'd have to get a helicopter You'd have to get your friends giant white drones those big phantom ones and those cause thousands of dollars But any Joe can go out to a Best Buy or wherever they sell drones and get this for like seven hundred something dollars That is just crazy to me. Let me show you how it folds up and goes back and neatly into its case It's very very very well thought out and I I dig that so much. Thank you DJI Let's go over kind of the parts of what makes this drone. I don't if you can see here, but there's little standing legs Right here. These go these fold up and down so when you're on the surface You're not actually putting a drone on snowy surface So the camera and the gimbal don't get touched don't get hurt actually goes to show you that DJI Made you know really good decisions while it made this drone like it was well thought out for the consumer Here if I flip this little little thing open, I don't know if you can see it some sort of micro USB connection Then there's the micro SD card. It's kind of a hassle to take out. I've thought about breaking this little piece off So I don't have to deal with it But not there yet another thing that I love about this drone is the thought and Intentionality about the battery now. This is the battery if it just lives under the drone here This little cartridge and you pull it out and this is the size of the battery, but the battery though It's very compact. I will say I can only get about 13 to 15 minutes out of every flight now today was different because it's so freakin cold out speaking of which Hands are very cool I'm gonna put my gloves on because it honestly gave me three minutes of flight time and so I was like oh my gosh I gotta get the shots that I want to get so I kind of just flew it in sport mode We'll get to that in a little bit, but the battery what you can do to check You know the the battery and how much juice it has is this This is off If I just press this button once it shows me it blinks Once or twice or three or four times depending on how fully juice this is now if it was fully juice It would light up all the little green circles, but this is just on one little green circle Which means yo you got to charge me. It's a simple Just put it in snap and if you hear the snap it's in there. So This is drone without battery. This is the battery Line it up, and then you just align it and Click DJI figured that you know there's gonna be some fools out there like me that just fly the drone Don't really know how to fly and they're gonna crash like me and as you can see here the propellers Yeah, they're a little broken little chipped off little scraped So what DJI did is they include more propellers in the packaging which is amazing. I think there's Two more pairs of each so I would say total of eight which I should go home and actually Switch these old ones to the new ones which I will I promise thinking yo bro How does it actually fold up and go into that little case you had how does it do that? Well, it's it's actually quite simple and you have to fold this drone in a certain way or else It really doesn't work and it's not as intuitive So take those little stands down bring them down and fold them in bring down and fold them in keep the propellers Parallel to the drone to go under under and you want to make sure these propellers are Parallel to the drone and Voila you have a small compact drone. It's simply amazing It really is the design of this the Intuitiveness the sleek speaks to me because I'm all about this compact, you know I've got a big back full of camera gear lenses all the stuff and I just don't want to carry a big old drone Like I want something compact like this to turn the drone on is simple You go down to this little button by the battery press twice on the second press you hold and it'll beep and make all these No, I will show you right now And to turn it off same thing Press twice on the second press you hold now, okay? Let's move on to the controller if you have an iPhone this works perfectly because it has an actual iPhone jack that you can just plug in and that just works perfectly with your phone and the app and the remote Same thing with this if you want to turn this on you there's a little power button right up here. You press it twice and Does a little dingaling sound dingaling that's weird thing to say this thing like this thing is compact as well Like the way I just folded it up I Mean it's so small here this the cool thing about these steering wheels is this let me take off me You're like, oh man, I wish these little steering pegs or wheels just weren't on here so I can put it in my bag Dude, this is awesome. You can just take it Unscrew it and put it underneath like there's a little there's a little cubby a little port For your little guys or your little wheels or pegs right here. So here we go again unscrew it and Boom just just right in there and guess what fold that up neatly just like this Fold these little antenna as and boom look at that that is compact That is what I'm talking about that like the fact that I can just make it so compact Make it fit into my backpack and then just whip it out and be like boom drone footage That is so legit to me. I love it to turn this off. You press twice on the second press you hold it turns it off But gloves again gloves again There is a home button like I said that you know returning back to home RTH You can turn your drone back to home by either pressing on the button on your screen and sliding it over or just pressing this button It works two ways and the sport mode on here. I don't know if you can see it right there Me zoom hold on If you can see it right here. This is sport Sport mode not sport mode Sport mode not sport mode sport mode and let me tell you the sport mode on this thing Don't be fooled by its size. Don't be fooled by this little guy. I'm about to go win I'm about to go instead of doing just going it goes bro. I'm about to win It's just hyperspeed like Star Wars hyperspeed crap. That's some good. That's some good speed. Thank you DJI One other thing I love about this controller is that you can switch from video to photo very easily You don't have to go in and out of your app and you don't have to interrupt your flight at all You just if you're in video mode just like right here this little red button And you want to go to photo mode mid-air all you have to do is click photo mode And it goes to photo mode on the drone and I mean not to mention like look at this case It is beautifully designed. It's kind of like a hard soft case. It's in between. I Just I love it all so if you're looking for that drone You're looking for kind of you know, what do I get that's not super expensive that I can use that shoots Really good quality that gives me what I want and but you know, I could get potential work from it The DJI Mavic Air is a way to go with that being said I will catch you next time on the Johnny Q channel. Peace
