First time flying the fixed wing mode.

Nice, but you have to have a lot of "room" in order to operate.



enjoy it!!

Some nice flying bud, it seems like Alan Walker's music Faded used a lot, works for me

Is this mode any different than FPV mode in the gimbal settings?

Very nice. So basically what the fixed wing mode does is make the Mavic bank on turns the way an airplane would, correct?

BTW, what camera settings did you use for this, and did you use a filter?

It was cool to see the fish just below the lake surface, near that duck.

great video thanks for sharing.
I'll have to try that

This will fly the mavic as an RC plane and you really need a lot of space to fly around because the turns are really wide.

The best way to fly it is if you are on hill and you are flying the mavic below you and you really need a LOS.

Really nice dude. I love flying in fixed mode!

Yes, you are right but you won't be able to move the camera. The camera is fixed.

What you need to do is position the camera before you fly in FIXED MODE. If I go higher and then am  coming down I position the camera down 25 degrees.

Ooops, you appeared to have answered a completely different question. Shall I answer it?

No, it's not the same as the FPV gimbal mode. It's an extension of it but has some odd flight controls now to try and make it more fixed wing.

Most fun in FPV, no idea why anyone would fly fixed mode LOS. But it's slow and sluggish, like flying a blimp. Nothing like an RC plane.

Not keen on the videos from it, just looks like a broken gimbal and doesn't really feel like a banking aircraft.

Hey Pedi, You are following me again!.

Your explanation is really an eye opener since you don't have a MAVIC!

As always, you have nothing good to say about people works no matter how good or great their hard work is. You always put people down so you can feel good.

Why would anyone fly fixed mode in LOS? (   )

Fixed wing  slow and sluggish?

Wow really a much thought off and researched answers!

Just my opinion, not sure what this rubbish you're posting is. Certainly not on topic. You just seem to be repeating what I said? Why?

Thanks for the comment...yes that music works perfect!!!

It is a nice way to get a view without having "abrupt turns". For me is a great improvement from DJI !!!

Thanks for the comment

Try it...you will like it, but remember as someone mentioned " really need a lot of space to fly around because the turns are really wide"

Yes, that is!!

I shotted in 4K  + ND8 filter
I was following the duck, and when I got home I got to see the fish on the PC....I was really surprised!!!

I am having a lot of fun with the Fixed Wing especially when you soar up and then you go diving and then up again. I am waiting on another person to do a fixed wing dog fight.

Awesome video.  I haven't tried using the Fixed Wing mode yet.  It gives me something to use as an example.

Yeh yeh fixed wing is AWESOME my kids love it up and down up and down ALL day

Makes me feel like and a bit {:4_117:}

Got any lessons on flying better with the fwing. need to know.

Great video but the music is appalling!
