Hi there everyone. Welcome to Infinity Drones. I focus mainly
on drone how to videos as well as informational content. If
there's anything you guys enjoy or have questions about, please

Today we're going to take a look at the DJI Pilot app.
Specifically being used with the Mavic 2 Enterprise
Advanced. This is the new thermal drone DJI released
recently. It features a 640 by 512 thermal camera and it makes
use of the DJI Pilot app. The DJI Pilot app is not the same
like the DJI Fly app or the DJI Go four app. It's quite
different with the layout. The options available as well as
the camera settings and so forth. However, if you do have
DJI Go four app experience. The jump is not gonna be so big.
Once you're logged into the application, you are going to
be presented with the standard pre-flight checks that you see
in the Go4 app. In this case, you can see there's a compass
calibration required. Tapping the button is gonna bring up
the prompt and you can calibrate. It's very important
that you guys understand. If you're going to calibrate, do
not do the calibration dance like the guys on YouTube show
you. You stand in a stationary position, you pick up the drone
and you pivoted in a single location. You do not turn your
body or anything like that because then you're naturally
changing the GPS location defeating the whole purpose of
the calibration. If still the calibration can be more
accurate if you keep it at a central place. So just pivot
the drone in this current position and then complete the
task as described on the screen. Once that's completed,
click the top right X and on the top left you're gonna see a
little icon where you can either just the gimbal
rotation. Quite useful feature in the Pilot app because
sometimes you've looked down left and right and you can just
recenter it by uh tap of the screen. Pretty cool feature to
have. One more thing you guys gonna notice is that there's no
take off button. The only way to take off is to pull the
sticks 45° down and out on each stick or push them in at a 45°
angle. That is the only way that you can power up the drone
and take off. Tap on the top right. It's gonna open the
option menu for you. And this is gonna show you all of the
configuration. Your default one is for the drone itself. Where
you can specify the home point. Enable dynamic home point.
Return to home altitude. Your maximum altitude. Your distance
limit. And so forth. If you tap on the actual number icon on
the screen it'll give you an option to change the value
there. So if you wanna change your distance from 400 meters
to let's say eight kilometers or 8,000 meters. Just tap it in
the little box. And up updated straight from there. Tapping
the sensor status can give you the IMU status as well as the
compass status. They should all be green. Then you can go a bit
lower down and change your altitude limits when you've
lost GPS signal. But there's a really important one. What
happens when RC signal is lost? That should always be set to
return to home. Unless you are flying inside of a building and
you require the drone to just hover while you walk closer and
regain signal. If you're flying outside and you lose RC signal
then the drone's just going to hover. And essentially if you
don't have signal you're gonna lose your drone because the
battery's gonna run out and it's gonna auto land. But if
you change it to return to home when you lose signal the
drone's automatically like 5 seconds before it'll initiate a
return to home. Go to a certain altitude and come straight back
home. You can also configure how to stop your motors
especially if you're in a breakdown scenario then you can
push the sticks in and out to stop the motors from spinning.
This is incredibly important that you guys leave the sitting
as in or make sure that it is in the breakdown state because
if the motors can't spin, you want to have an option to turn
it off so it don't burn out. But you don't wanna be flying
and accidentally push the sticks in a certain way and
then turn off the motors. The next option we'll be looking at
is the obstacle avoidance tab. Technically here you just wanna
leave everything on. But let's say there's a scenario where
you wanna turn off the bottom sensors or the obstacle
avoidance sensors. Then you can come here and turn it off.
You're also able to configure the LED light that goes on.
Typically called the landing light. You can select
the auto option on or off navigation light only. So
pretty useful feature to have. The next option is your
controller option. Here you can specify what the C1 and the
C2 buttons do. Just by selecting the option available
in the drop down menu. Remember, pressing the button
on the bottom of your controller will initiate
whatever you've selected from this drop down menu. Next, you
can specify your f5D button on the front of the controller.
Pretty useful if you wanna increase your camera settings
maybe on the fly. Next, the HD option where you can view your
image transmission and view the signal strength. But the main
reason you'll be accessing this section is to change the video
output option. Now, if you've got a smart controller which
you've got with the enterprise advanced, you have an HDMI
output and you can specify what type of image is gonna be sent
to the HDMI cable. The next option is your battery options.
This is where you're able to view a smart return to home is
enabled, what your percentage for critical and low battery is
in, and also what time is going to be used as a discharge for
your batteries. If you tap the details button, you can also
view the voltage as well as the number of charges of your
batteries. Next option is gonna be your gimbal settings where
you can calibrate it, configure the speed that it looks up and
down by and the last option on the menu it's gonna be your
common settings. This is where you can specify your live
stream options. You you can specify your units that it's
gonna use with for instance metric or imperial. If you want
the Front Arm LEDs to to be turned on or turned off. You can also
set up the live stream options. You can see quite a few
settings. IP addresses. You can configure straight from there.
And essentially that is what you want. You also have one
other option you could see on the screen called ESC beeping
at the far bottom. If you've lost your drone you can try at
enable this option. And the motors are gonna start beeping.
And this could assist in trying to find the drone again if need
beep. At the bottom you can change the name. You can also
take a look at the versions of the software that's available
currently. And installed. Once you're done here, you can just
tap the exit top right and you can exit the menu and on the
bottom right, you'll see a little slider bar underneath
the shutter button. If you tap that, you can take a look at
the camera setting option. Over here, you can see there's not a
lot of options you can change. The only thing you can tap is
the negative and the plus button to change the exposure
value up or down. The enterprise advanced does not
give you the option to change your camera settings manually.
Even switching between infrared mode and visual mode doesn't
give you that option. As you can see, I'm looking up now and
I can just tap on the plus and the negative on the screen to
increase the digital zoom. Naturally at night that's gonna
be horrible but during the course of the day you're with
well when the light is good enough you're gonna have a good
picture. If you tap the IR button switch to thermal mode
and you can see I'm able to zoom in by tapping the plus and
the negative button that side as well. Can zoom it all the
way up to sixteen times. Very useful function especially if
you're 100 meters up in the air. If you wanna switch to
video mode. You can tap on the little slider on the right side
of your screen. You can see the shutter button changes red.
Showing you that you are currently in video mode. You
can also tap on the split button on the left side of the
screen or the visa button to switch between infrared visible
and actually both views at the same time. So completely up to
you. But if you are flying at night then I recommend the
thermal view. If you're flying during the daytime I recommend
using the visible mode. Very useful feature though. Is to
have both of them at the same time. As you can see, here I'm
taking off showing you the difference between the two
views. You can see a lot more on the left side because the
thermal can even see the clouds in the background. So, a
very very big difference indeed. Just some other very
useful information. On the bottom left, you got your map.
Tapping on your maps gonna show you a big map view of where you
currently are. Then you can also see in the middle of the
screen, the bottom, your actual GPS location with the
coordinates. Your altitude as well as a distance from your
take or point. And your vertical speed as well as your
horizontal speed. Now tapping on the top right the little
palette icon it's gonna bring up the different available
options on your screen which you can switch to to change the
thermal view. As you can see iron red gives you a nice
classic thermal view. Clicking the IR button on the bottom
left shows you the complete screen in the infrared mode
again. And as I gain altitude here you're gonna start seeing
the difference in the screen as it widens up
Now, as you can see, the temperature keeps changing in
the middle of the screen. That is the actual temperature that
the sensor is reading and if you tap the palette icon again,
you can start switching between all of the different modes
available. As you can see, there are quite a number of
different options available and each one of them is gonna give
you a different view or perspective of the temperature
or the landscape in front of you. I personally like black
heart and white hot the most but if you start going through
the different color palette options, you're gonna see that
each of them is gonna have a place as they will provide
different information according to whoever is using the drone's
needs.
Like I said, my personal favorite is the white type
option. So, I'll switch back to that one and I'll gain some
altitude. I think to run about thirty meters just to take a
view of what is going on on the screen so you can view and see
a bit more what's going on while people are walking around
on the screen. Now, just for some extra useful information,
if you don't know this already, like I said, if you are used to
the Go4 app, the screen and the menu items would look very
familiar but if you look at the top left, you can see it says
in-flight GPS. If it's green, it's good to fly. You've
got a GPS lock. If it's yellow, there's some kind of warning.
Typically, you don't have GPS or you're in a high wind value
area. In the middle of your screen, you can see which mode
you're currently in. In this case, I'm in PGPS which means
I'm in position mode. If I flip to sport mode it would say
SGBS. On the right side of that you're gonna see this little
plane and a little obstacle woodens icon over there. That's
ADB-S. If there are planes flying around and they've got
the sensor then the drone would be able to detect the plane or
the helicopter in the sky. Right next to that you're gonna
see the little satellite icon. And above the little signal bar
icon is gonna show you the number of actively connected
satellites that you're connected to. Right next to
that you're gonna see the obstacle avoidance. Two green
icons available, top and bottom and two little red dots on the
left and the right. That tells you the obstacle avoidance is
currently enabled for front and the rear but not on the next to
that, you can just see the controller icon signal strength
which is gonna essentially be your range and the HD
signal. They are typically running in hand in hand but if
you lose controller signal, the drone is gonna initiate return
to home. Next to that, you're gonna see the battery icon and
your percentage. You can tap on that and it's gonna take you
straight to the battery settings in the app where you
can view the voltage and the flight time and so forth. Well
