Aldryn: I'm a 78 year old submarine veteran and have just ordered a Mini Fly More which will be here in a few weeks. I absolutely love your beginners videos and have taken notes and will print them in a sheet to put in the drone case. I know you are a very experienced drone veteran and as such I really appreciate your patience with someone like me who is just starting out. The first drone I had was a Hubsan and I flew it into my face and the propeller cut the hell out of my right cheek. I still have the scar to prove it. Keep up the good work.
This drone is awesome for people just learning to fly! The thing to remember is that to stop this drone from moving just let go of the controller. The drone does a great job of keeping itself steady!
@@filmlog1983 This is exactly what was wrong with the Hubsan. It was coming toward me and I pulled off the controller, but it took several feet to stop that i did not anticipate.
@@ashleyfletcher7373 I crashed mine trying to overcorrect and stop it myself. Still learning but there is a video about it on my channel if you want to learn from my mistake.
Just took delivery today of my Mini. I took advantage of the 20% off Amazon Prime Day Sale ;) Can't wait to try out my new Drone ! Thanks so very much for this thorough and informative setup guide, it is well-appreciated.
Just watched your video. June 30, 2021. After getting the DJI Fly app to work, after two try’s everything feel into place. Had a DJI Phantom 2 years ago. With a GoPro 2.. only got about a dozen flights before issues came about, $1,200 down the drain. Nothing wrong with the Phantom just the Gimbal issue. Gave it to another flyer. This looks like a winner. Now to learn all the settings, functions etc. Thanks for posting. Dan in Longview Washington USA
Brilliant vids Aldryn, exactly what I needed. Ordered mine and awaiting delivery following a fly away experience with a very cheap unit, lesson learnt. I shall watch both several times while awaiing delivery, I dont want to watch another drone disappeare into the distance, not a pleasant experience. Thank you for your very proffesional demonstrations, I'm hooked already.
My first drone was a 5 inch freestyle drone. My second drone was a 5 inch freestyle drone. This is good info for this particular drone even if it isn't your "first" drone. Well done sir, thank you for sharing.
I just get my today from Best Buy... so I watch your vid again to make sure I know what I’m doing... lol... as always your channel still one of the best choice.... thank you..
Thanks for your videos on the Mavic Mini. I just got mine today but only able to use it for a short bit due to work schedule. The little time I flew it was awesome. Your videos helped me get it up and running fairly quickly. I cant wait to play with it more tomorrow. Thanks again!
Just ordered mine for my 66th birthday! Boomers are awesome! Will use in my work to monitor public gardens as well as security, follow my cats, check out country around me, flocks of birds etc
Thank you Aldryn. Thanks to you I learned how to upgrade the software and connect this mini to my phone. It's time to start using this again while the weather is good here on the East Coast. Hulloha from Hull, Massachusetts
Excellent video. I really appreciate the level of detail. When experts do instructions for beginners they often leave out things that are second nature, such as specifically how to remove the gimbal cover. Your video gave me what I needed to know.
FlytPath Really liking your videos! New “All notifications” subscriber here! Question: I took off and had my distance set close. I was in the air and wanted to push out my max distance, but it seems I had to land first before resetting in the air?
Brilliant and very useful, as usual. I look forward to part 2. I will get m MM in a few weeks and will be able to look it in the eye with confidence, thanks to your tutorials.
I know I'm a bit late to the party for the Mavic Mini, but I have to say thank you for all of the info that you give. Its helped make my decision to purchase this drone much easier. Keep up the good work.
aziz aladwani the presentation seemed very quick to me why do they have to speak at 100 mph as though they are a firefighter and have to attend an emergency or something and have to squeeze in a 30 min video into a 20 min video! This video is aimed at the newcomer and surely things should be explained at a nice leisurely pace and things that way will not be missed out! Just a thought!
Thanks for the refresher! I haven't flown for a while and this 'reentry' video helped me to make sure I have everything ready in order to go out again.
New Drone Pilot... and thanks. Getting the firmware update gave me control over the video settings and more. I've enjoyed and learned much from your vids. I'm a professional photographer wanting to add quad shots to my repertoire. You should do one on the DJI Simulator... pretty cool, and some of the sims they have will make you know you need to practice!
Thanks for doin this guide. The fly more combo is hot wanted here in germany, so I've got to wait another 2 weeks for it... Videos like this help to make the waiting easier.
Super cool video(s). I really appreciate this content, as one who has never flown a drone before and just plunked down several hundred dollars for this one!
Hi. I'll make this quick. I looked through most of your videos and didn't see anything about where I can fly my Mavic Mini. I'm having a hell of a time trying to find places. Have you done a video about it?
I really like your presentation without the gimmicks and BS. Watched this before my first flight the information was invaluable and much appreciated. I must ad one comment that is never mentioned but I observed is make sure your fingers and screen on your phone are clean! When in the sunlight the prints obscure the screen and is very annoying.
Just ordered my first dji drone, the mini. Look foreward to implementing all this. I've flown a few cheaper drones but it looks like I get to see what a real drone flies like.
I do appreciate the work you put in to this. Got mine last night and had no idea where to start. The manuals that come with the Mavic-Mini are pretty useless.
Hi you are great. The way you tech us is fabulous. Im a new member here..got mavic mini 1 week before. My question is how to determine wind is not going to be a problem. Also what is the best condition to record video? Minimum wind speed? Thanks
Nice video, thanks! One suggestion to add would be to charge the controller too! I got out to try my first flight and the controller didn;t have enough charge :-)
Great, practical video. One question: in order to fly the drone, is it a must to have installed the SD micro card, because mine didn’t come wit it? Thanks.
Great video. Just a FYI I just got a mini today followed your directions but app said controller can't connect to aircraft. Tried 4 times starting over same thing. Uninstalled and reinstalled app still nothing. I did online tech support chat and after I turn everything on you hold both on buttons on remote and mini simultaneously 4 seconds or so and it linked them together. BTW I am way new beginner. Thanks again. I'll be watching more.
I’m not a new DJI owner, but all info is good info. Thanks for all the videos! I don’t get mine until the 14th, so I’m watching a lot and being jealous.
SUBSCRIBED! thanks for this video. I just picked up a Mini at Costco and wasn't entirely sure on the setup. Thanks for going into detail, this is my first drone.
Yes you can, you connect the other white lead in box from the USB socket on the charger to the controller and it will charge the controller in sequence if you have battery fitted in the charger or it will go straight t charging the controller if there are no batteries.
Bro. Nice video. I’m so new in this stuff. Everything was ok. But you forgot to tell us that the drone control has to be charged too. Thank you for your time
I bought a Mavic Mini Fly More Combo approx 3yrs. ago. The controller they sent looks just like the one they sell with the Mini 2. What's up with that? I finally retired and someday,soon,I hope,may get a chance to try and fly it again.
Hey. Love the videos, thanks for all your help and advice. Do you or anyone else here know if the app is available on Google Play yet. Thanks for your time
Nice video ，very informative, i have one question, Does the phone connected need an Internet connection /data plan active to fly the drone and use all the camera functionality.
Hello Aldryn, thank you very much for this video and 2nd part of this video as well. Very well put together and pretty comprehensive on the overview of what is in the box and what we should be doing for flight prep. I used this and the next video to make the decision on purchasing this drone. Got the drone a few weeks back and used your notes in the video to get myself and the drone ready for first flight.
Took advantage of the great combo price on the Mavic Mini on Amazon today and ordered! My first drone.
Same here. Ordered just now
Just bought mine today, watching your videos in preparation for my first flight tomorrow. Thanks for all your valuable information 👍
Me too
...and me👍🏻😉☺️
Iii
And me, I don’t know what I’d do 😂
I bought mine today!
Just bought one today, it will arive next week. Thanks for the easy to follow no-nonsense instructions!
Glad I could help!

I got the same deal.. have fun!
I did as well, happy flying!
I got up at 3AM to buy it - at that $399 price for the Fly More I thought they would sell out quick! :)
@@joseleyba4910 I checked at 12 am and it wasn’t on sale yet, so I actually got it at 530am. Charging now!
Are u shure about that
Massive appreciation for all of your videos over the years, Aldryn.

Screw loose! Took your advice to check the prop screws. One of mine was loose. Cheers!

Have fun!

Very nice instructions and camera work of the device. Thanks for sharing with us newbies.
Thanks for watching.

Thank you for the helpful tutorial.
What happens when getting a call while flying the mini?
New Drone Pilot... and thanks. Getting the firmware update gave me control over the video settings and more. I've enjoyed and learned much from your vids. I'm a professional photographer wanting to add quad shots to my repertoire.

i bought an used FLy more combo excelent condition, but with your tutorial i am happier, thx , greetings from Mexico
Thanks for the tutorial. Im excited to get one very soon
I love the stabilization and image captures. I decided to get the DJI mini in the end. So looking forward to camping in Glencoe.
Good choice!
Thanks for doin this guide. The fly more combo is hot wanted here in germany, so I've got to wait another 2 weeks for it... Videos like this help to make the waiting easier.
Very helpful. Mine arrived yesterday.
Thank you for answering the WiFi / Cellular part :) because I'm looking forward to do most of my flying in remote areas.
Yes! I was nervous you needed cellular all the time. Which wouldn’t work for me where I want to fly. Glad it works!
Super cool video(s). I really appreciate this content, as one who has never flown a drone before and just plunked down several hundred dollars for this one!
Subscribed. Gr8 video explaining all steps. Hi from Down Under and thanks.
Great video. The only thing I didn't see was the step for charging the controller.
Best resource in the tube. Thanks
Checking the tension on prop blades was smart
Mini content in recent times have been great Cheers 🇦🇺

Ya I had to add it in the video descriptions. Small oversight.

Bought mine a few days ago, love it!
Very good video - any suggestions places where to go to fly in suburban areas?

Excellent tutorial, very clear and concise, look forward to part two...👍
Great, I am a beginner an buyed a DJI mini 2nd hand. So i must learn everything from this drone.
I’m not a new DJI owner, but all info is good info. Thanks for all the videos! I don’t get mine until the 14th, so I’m watching a lot and being jealous.
Awesome vid and you answered ALL my questions/concerns. Gonna buy one. How long for deliveries from DJI web site? Thanks.
SUBSCRIBED! thanks for this video. I just picked up a Mini at Costco and wasn't entirely sure on the setup. Thanks for going into detail, this is my first drone.
Hey mate!! Can I connect and charge my controller through the USB on the battery charging hub while charging the batteries??
Yes you can, you connect the other white lead in box from the USB socket on the charger to the controller and it will charge the controller in sequence if you have battery fitted in the charger or it will go straight t charging the controller if there are no batteries.

Hello mate, great video. I just wondering where can I buy that ''leg extension''?

Does the phone connected need an Internet connection /data plan active to fly the drone and use all the camera functionality.
