I've been a commercial pilot for over a decade. This is the first guy that's explained the automation process clearly. From take off to landing. Thanks man! Much appreciated
Even I know this already ,I check my self ,I think you deserve my subscription to your channel ,keep us updated on Mavic ,thanks for this ,really enjoyable follow your teaching ,and I agree with you about Mavic ,is an amazing design and tecnólogy to the best .Happy Holidays !!
I just received my Mavic the other day, upgraded the firmware today, this is my first drone your video was very good for beginners. I subscribed and am looking forward to learning more about this great drone. Going to Las Vegas for two days next week plan on my first flight when I get back.
Holy thit, Batman...I have watched at least 40-50 video's of all types of Drones & yours is the best as far as telling people about how to use it and what the controls are for. I'm still deciding between P4 & the Mavic. And I still have to get a phone to use with it. Thanx alot!
thanks a lot for all the videos. Just picked up the mavic pro at BB on black friday sale. should be here next week. My kid and I never flown a drone before, so we will be watching all your videos to learn as much as possible.
wow Tim ! in 2hrs i have done all what you have explained and have been flying this BEAST with confidence , thanks mate your are by far the best ! on this machine ...wog
hi tim i have and loved every episode mate ! watched it over and over just re/cap all of it ! your place of home is Amazing , thanks again you rock ...
Tim your videos are great, I have a mavic pro on order and can't wait to get my hands on it. Keep up the good work, learning loads about the drone already, who needs instructions when you have quality demonstrations like you blog... 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Awesome! Been looking for the basics before I actually get mine mid to late Feb. Those that give this a thumbs down need to get a life elsewhere. Keep doing what you do, Tim.
Hey Man, your spot on demonstration of the mavic aircraft was great. There is too much info on this drone from people who have no clue how to help you fly. You explained it perfectly and in English. Thank you. You got me out of a giamble issue that I had been working on resolving for half a day and Mavic Csupport or any of the drone gurus helped me out. Thanks...
I just got my Mavic so I'm trawling thru RUclips trying to learn from everyone elses mistakes while the weather here in UK is too wet for me to make my own. Great video, I enjoyed it and have subscribed.. thank you. 👍
I have a Mavic Pro on order and really enjoyed this first video. You are well spoken and obviously enthusiastic about this stuff. Looking forward to viewing the rest of them!
Great to see a drone pilot with such professional approach and attitude to flight safety. Refreshing change from idiots who misuse their drones. Also very informative. Nice work.
Can't stress enough how helpful the RUclips community is to the scaredy-cat drone neophytes like me! Great video, thank you! It's too cold to fly my drone for its first flight here, in Minnesota, but hopefully in the next couple of weeks I'll have a day over 32°!
+BeerTastingChampion - Danni Munro hope you have a great first flight! Sub to the channel and watch the rest of the series. Might help boost your confidence in flying. Cheers!
Liked and Subscribed. Nice video! Thank you. Lord willing, I'll be getting a Mavic at income tax time. Wanting to do commercial work. I'm disabled, but I think this is something I can do. I live in south Florida which has multitudinous opportunities for a drone business. I'm studying for the 107 now and plan to take it before I get the drone. (plan ahead when possible). Awesome information here. I'm looking forward to learning much more. :-) Fly Safely.
Will Granzier exact, and when turning off , the opposite, first turn off the drone and then turn off the radio. It means, always the radio control is on if the drone is on.
very nice and fully informative, i just got my mavic pro and i have not flown it yet but im glad i watched this video, very helpful for my first flight, thanks
My Mavic arrives tomorrow. This is the second I have bought, sadly the first one, Lily Camera, didn't arrive but enough said about that the better. V pleased to find your channel and learn a bit before I get out there. I work as a film location manager and am hoping that this will be able to give my directors a whole new idea of what the location looks like. I have subscribed and will keep watching...
Great video..really broke everything down to a tee for a beginner. Can't wait til mine arrives and look forward to the rest of this series. *subscribed*
I just watched your first video on the Mavic Pro. Great job! I ordered mine on November 5th and received it today on December 21st. In your first video you were looking for 500 subscribers. It looks like you're close to 5K. Nice work! looking forward to learning more from you! I will be posting mountain bike footage soon!
my mavic instructions said specifically not to calibrate unless it asks you to. on the forums a lot of people are having problems after calibrating without being asked.
Hi Timothy Just purchased a new Mavic Pro today and charging the controller fo the first time. WoW!! Thankyou for the video, it is super helpful and when I do first flight I will watch again just prior. Looking forward to viewing the rest in the series when I am confident with initial launch. Thanks again dude. Adam
Great information as always. One other thing; I discovered that I have to update the firmware on each battery as well. I did that by replacing the batteries in the Mavic and powering up.
Thanks for the tips, just got mine in today, I'm so scared that I'm going to crash it. Baby steps and the DJI Refresh plan will keep me slightly confident.I hope
@@aenima3174 I crashed out once, got it refreshed for, I think $99. Since then, I've put about 500 miles on it. Had a pleasant experience with DJI during the refresh. I kept in constant contact with them through Twitter.
Kevin Conlon Thanks for getting back to me. That’s great! I got the refresh care too, but I’ve been afraid to crash it. I have put a ton of time into the DRL Sim too, so I’m not too worried about flying. I got that app for that reason, and ended up totally hooked on racing. The mavic is charged up now though so it’s happening in the next day or so.
Count me in! Thinking of buying a Mavic pro! Would be great having your videos to help in flying one of these . 25 years ago used to fly fixed wing stuff to a safe standard and broke a few along the way! Obviously I wouldn't want to do damage to something of this expensiveness.so hopefully your videos will help! Great informative vid! Dave in the U.K.
Great tutorial Timothy! Thanks a lot! Just bought one which should be arriving in about a week. Been trough DJI ones but yours are the best! Really enjoy it how you show the functions in the app! Thanks mate!
Usually it’s best to power up the controller, Mavic, then the app. Then if by small chance the drone takes off, the controls will already be on and ready. Power down is the opposite. I always forget to take off the gimbal clamp and cover. My engine is going to burn out. Did sport mode the other day and crashed, the drone can really get ahead of you if you’re not careful. Extremely fast. Thanks for the vid.
Awesome video! I enjoy watching it and learned a lot. I have a mavic and it is my first time to fly a drone. I am really scared yet. But getting there.
Hei from Norway! Nice video. I fly Phantom 4 and Its a good drone. But I want Mavic, Its easy to take With you on tour. Dji make the best drones on marked.
YOUR VIDEO TUTORIAL IS AMAZING .......best video i have seen as per the DJI Mavic SO FAR ..... EXCELLENT JOB ..... very well explained .... THIS DRONE WILL BE A GIFT TO MYSELF FOR 2017 :)
Thank you for the awesome video, I am still waiting for a in stock alert from DJI. It is nice to see that you keep those affected by the fires in your thoughts.
I like your video...it's very understandable. I'll probably watch it a few more times and your other ones also. I should be getting my mavic Pro by March 2nd and I'm pretty excited!
Nice video! This will tide me over for the weekend while I wait for UPS to delivery my Mavic Pro next week. I like your informal approach to making these videos, still look professional and very informative at the same time. Look forward to watching more!
Timothy Sunday Have you had trouble with the Android DJI companion app for flying Mavic Pro? I keep hearing horror stories about how terrible the reliability of DJI apps are. I've got a Samsung galaxy Note 8 and an ipad pro so I'm hoping one of the two will fly this thing well.
Timothy Sunday Thanks for replying Timothy. I am going to give it try tomorrow on my Note 8 and if I have issues I will try my iPad pro. I've learned a lot from your channel and feel much more confident about flying. I will be back at some point to let you know how it goes, Thank you very much and happy flying!
It does say in the instructions to extend the props before running the motors, as an engineer I agree that an unbalanced load on a motor could cause damage to the motor shafts.
CAN'T WAIT your going to have to. if you ordered it a week ago you MIGHT see it in feb 17!! I ordered mine two months ago and yesterday I got my tracking number. a word to the wise DO NOT USE PAYPAL I sold a drone it was allowed to be sent back crashed with no insurance NOTHING AND THEY HAVE A HOLD on my account until I pay them 850.00 for items that were brand new returned used and destroyed. just a friendly word of advice. I have everything to back it up also, and dave peck wont do any thing for you either!!
I've been a commercial pilot for over a decade. This is the first guy that's explained the automation process clearly. From take off to landing. Thanks man! Much appreciated
I love these basic vids specially for folks like myself who's never flown a drone for the first time. Thanks and keep it up!

Yours is the most thorough, understandable explanation of the Mavic controls that I've seen. Well done. Tks.
One of the best reviews
Please keep your videos up! I bought my Mavic Pro 6 years ago, and only used it once... I want to get it going again! Thanks so much for the info!
I just received my Mavic the other day, upgraded the firmware today, this is my first drone your video was very good for beginners. I subscribed and am looking forward to learning more about this great drone. Going to Las Vegas for two days next week plan on my first flight when I get back.
Nice job with a very clear video explaining the basics. Keep it up!!
Wow, what a great video! Thanks so much to help me enjoy my drone. As a pilot, I also appreciate the safety advisories. Keep up the great work.
Holy thit, Batman...I have watched at least 40-50 video's of all types of Drones & yours is the best as far as telling people about how to use it and what the controls are for. I'm still deciding between P4 & the Mavic. And I still have to get a phone to use with it. Thanx alot!

Should really say "start controller first, then the drone". It may work your way, or it may not . But you ALWAYS turn on controller first.
and always turn off controller LAST
i didn't lol and it worked
The best start up video I've found on you tube.... Thank you very much.. Very nicely done for anyone getting started..
great video ! just the right speed ;) you don't take 20 minutes explaining a single button :)
Amen to that, unfortunately that is almost all of youtube Tutorial these days!

Great, simple video brother....can't wait until they're available again.

Awesome information here. I'm looking forward to learning much more. :-) Fly Safely.
Good luck and enjoy.
Just a quick note on your video - The rules in RC are always power up the radio first and then the unit you control
Will Granzier exact, and when turning off , the opposite, first turn off the drone and then turn off the radio. It means, always the radio control is on if the drone is on.
Thanks Timothy 😊 Just got my Mavic today. Your video gives more confidence to fly my Mavic.
Sweet! Happy Flying! 💥 👊
Great video! We've been filming the SHARK MIGRATION in 4K with the Mavic and we know you guys will enjoy it!!!!!!
I just got mine today. I was scared of it but not after watching your video! Thank you!
Don't be scared. I've made over 32 episodes about the Mavic Pro. Check them all out and get confident. Happy Flying!
Just got mine today :) videos will be up soon
very nice and fully informative, i just got my mavic pro and i have not flown it yet but im glad i watched this video, very helpful for my first flight, thanks
videos like this make me crazy. 3 1/2 mins in and still talking about unrelated topics rather than the Mavic Pro tutorial.
Great videos! I just got a Mavic Pro, and now going through your playlist. I'm learning a lot from them! Thanks for making them!
Happy Flying! Enjoy the series!
Best tutorial I have seen. Thanks Timothy!

SUPER tutotiaL! thanks man! I REALLY needed to know why the camera wasnt tilting!
Glad to help! Grab some 🍿 and check out the 30+ episodes I've made around the Mavic Pro
Big thanks from sweden! This is my first drone ever and I just learned i bunch of great stuff! +
glad to help. check out the rest of the series as well as I go much more in depth!
Maybe I missed it but no required calibration methods were covered... and those are very important.
+Marvin Jackson very true. I forgot to cover that. I did that first after pulling it out of the box.
my mavic instructions said specifically not to calibrate unless it asks you to. on the forums a lot of people are having problems after calibrating without being asked.
I too did not get prompted to calibrate. But was prompted to upgrade the firmware.
I haven't had any problems so far. Only had to calibrate one time because I was in some high magnetic field or something.
HEY Timothy great set by step video
I am really close in buying a drone especially this one I am just doing my homework for now
Hi Timothy

Looking to fly my drone tomorrow but was still a bit clueless on all of the controls. Thank you for putting this video together.

Awesome, man i just got a mavik pro today and cant wait to get in the air. Thankd for the video, very informative.
I really like the design of the Mavic remoter. I hope Phantom 5 could use this design with a litter bigger size.
Great video!! I Liked how you explained it easy so everyone could get it. Keep up the good work!
Awesome video! I enjoy watching it and learned a lot. I have a mavic and it is my first time to fly a drone. I am really scared yet. But getting there.
added to my playlist to watch when i pick up my drone!
Greetings from Serbia ! I see that you use Samsung phone - A lot of them told me that it must be iPhone . Excellent video and helped me a lot .
Another question - whether they can any Samsung phone ?

Great video. Picking my mavic up this afternoon!!
This was a great video. Super clear and concise. Thanks!

Timothy Sunday Have you had trouble with the Android DJI companion app for flying Mavic Pro? I keep hearing horror stories about how terrible the reliability of DJI apps are. I've got a Samsung galaxy Note 8 and an ipad pro so I'm hoping one of the two will fly this thing well.
I've heard of problems with the Android app. But when I had my note 7 I had zero issues with it.
Timothy Sunday Thanks for replying Timothy. I am going to give it try tomorrow on my Note 8 and if I have issues I will try my iPad pro. I've learned a lot from your channel and feel much more confident about flying. I will be back at some point to let you know how it goes, Thank you very much and happy flying!
Great tutorial !! Thanks a lot saving me reading hundreds of pages
It does say in the instructions to extend the props before running the motors, as an engineer I agree that an unbalanced load on a motor could cause damage to the motor shafts.
Awesome videos Timothy! Made me buy one :-)
Nice video! Takes a lot of the nerves away seeing how easy it is! Can't wait to start using mine to add some aerial footage to my content! 🐢☠️
Great video, thanks for example the basic tips for taking off and landing. FedEX just delievered my Mavic Pro..
Good stuff buddy. Much appreciated! Nice of you to take the time to explain all of this. Excited to start flying mine next week. Thx from SoCal 👍🏻
Cool! Glad it's helpful. Be sure to grab some 🍿 and check out all 30+ episodes I have on the Mavic. SoCal, so cool! Happy flying! 🍿👊
Great! Thank you, receiving my Mavic in a couple of hours!
Great tutorial!
Great video. I just received my Mavic Pro bundle along with the micro-printed manuals that are very insufficient. This helps! Subscribing for sure!
Hi from England! Great video thanks for the information!
just ordered mine can't wait !
CAN'T WAIT your going to have to. if you ordered it a week ago you MIGHT see it in feb 17!! I ordered mine two months ago and yesterday I got my tracking number. a word to the wise DO NOT USE PAYPAL I sold a drone it was allowed to be sent back crashed with no insurance NOTHING AND THEY HAVE A HOLD on my account until I pay them 850.00 for items that were brand new returned used and destroyed. just a friendly word of advice. I have everything to back it up also, and dave peck wont do any thing for you either!!
Thanks for sharing your Mavic Pro experience
Thanks for watching!
