This review deserves an OSCAR type award, simply brilliant 👏
Thank you I’m glad you enjoyed it
Good, bout time somebody is straight to the point.
The only thing was the reflection on the screen from his light overhead, but wow that's a great informative video for me, thanks so much.
@@AirPhotographyits not about enjoying...man you are so clear to understand and you include almost everything that a beginner needed....
Yes, it is very well done.
Let's appreciate how organized he is.
Great video for a beginner like me. No fluff and right to the point.
exactly, same for me
Suggest to check wch amazing results have achieved Yuri Palma and Brendon Li with the new Mini Mavic...
I’m getting a mavic
Right? He has no idea how much I appreciate this
agree.
Clear, concise, complete and chronological. This is what all tutorial videos should strive for. I get so tired of listening to videographers self aggrandizing.
I"ll come back to this video when I have this drone.
Dorin Lucian have it yet?
Dorin Lucian (x) S ame
Me too I think I will buy the drone in a few months I’m so stoked 2 of my friends got it and as I flew it for the first time I immediately knew I want this drone🔥
Dorin Lucian that is legit what I am going to do
No, look at it now.
I just received my first ever drone today and to be honest, this is the most helpful video esp to someone like me who has no idea how to operate it. I’ve watched different videos but i find yours more helpful. Thanks a lot!
How is your new drone, did you encounter any problem?
Sharmaine Avila dame here...👋🏻😃
Thank you I am glad you found it helpful
I purchased a magic mini
Would like to get a tablet that can load the go fly app.
What should I get ?
Same here. Excited to have my first drone.
Just got my one delivered today..getting all charged up and ready to fly. This video helped a lot in understanding the basics
I’ve had my Mavic Mini for 9 months and honestly been too nervous to get it out and fly! After watching this video I had the confidence I needed. Took it out yesterday for a few quick flights. It was awesome! Looking forward to much more flying.
I've literally watched over 100 Mavic Mini videos on RUclips in the last month and I have to agree with Sharmaine, this is the most helpful I've watched and it helped me make the decision to go out today and buy the DJI Mavic Mini as my very first drone. Thank you so much Air Photography!! I have subscribed and recommend other newbee's do as well.
How is it going
I love my Mini 1. I am still tentative while flying but I am simply amazed by what this thing can do. The video quality is very good. The pictures it takes are also very nice. I recommend getting this as a high quality 1st drone for anyone - in my case I haven’t grown out of it quickly! I love it.
@@roberthagen1966 how’s the mini holding up?
@@grey5719 hello @grey. my mini is doing really well. I don't fly as often as others do (still a little tentative when i fly) but it's doing great. I was getting some wind and working too hard warnings, so I changed the original propellers to a new set of dji ones and the warnings have gone away. I love this drone - It's my first so I can't really compare to anything. One awesome upgrade I recently did was get the new iPad Mini. Totally up'd the enjoyment level for me, especially once the drone is out of site.
@@roberthagen1966 I'm really thinking about purchasing this drone. Seems like a good bang for the buck. My other option is the mini 2 but its a lot more money and my sole use for the drone is perimeter security, no RUclips, no glamour shots, no other social media. Do you think this would be enough of a package for what I'm using it for? Need to randomly see my 2 acres where my cameras cant reach.
Thanks in advance.
After watching almost every drone video, I finally go the Mini today. To start flying, I went back to your video because is the best. Short clear and extremely useful. Great job.
This video/host is one of the best I’ve ever seen on RUclips, for any product I’ve ever checked out here. Thank you! 👏🏻
I got the Mavic mini for my 60th birthday and have just started to go out with it. Your tutorial was exactly what I need to watch as your explanations were spot on. This beginner drone is perfect for me and the video and photographs are great. Thank You 🙏
Thanks for this video. So basically if you pay $100 for the Fly More combo, you get:
2 more batteries ($45 each if bought separately)
2 more pairs of props
1 extra USB charging cable (I guess o you can charge both drone battery and remote at the same time)
A bunch of extra prop screws; are these proprietary or a standard tiny screw?
The prop guards ($19 separately)
The charging hub ($39 separately)
The charger block
The nice case. (and that IS a nice case, and I don't see it on the DJI site)
So the Fly More combo pays for itself with just the batteries and charger, everything else is gravy.
I think you're wise to spend the extra $100. I didn't and now wish I had. Everywhere I've looked, batteries and charging hubs are not available. I will have to suffer with my one battery :(
@@huktonlife batteries are due to be $45 each.
@@carlose6010 Yes, true however I've gone to DJI, Amazon, BestBuy and they're all unavailable or sold out. BestBuy DID have them at 35.and change but now unavailable there as well. I'm sure they'll stock up at some point, fingers crossed. Thanks for you're reply.
@@huktonlife I started shopping for my mini Sat. 11/9 and found out that they weren't going to be available until Mon. 11/11. Amazon wasn't selling the Fly More combo (they might be selling it now IDK) directly and there was only a private vendor selling the it for something ridicules like $620 US. I decided it would be a better idea to buy on online from BestBuy and pick it up so... Monday morning at 7am... I found one BestBuy, 20 miles away from me that had 1 left in stock. I bought it and picked it up yesterday 11/10. I only had time to get it setup, charged and get a little test flight in. Today I'll give it a more extensive test but so far so good. I have a feeling that there weren't enough to stock stores with 20-30 drones... more like 1 or 2. LOL
@@OneLiterPeter I went the Amazon route and bought two. One for me and one for my son. I got the $419. package but comes with only one battery. If my $$$$ tree in the back yard was blooming, I would have gone for the more expensive packages. It's being delivered today and I'm very excited to see it. Have fun with yours. Oh yeah, batteries are sold out everywhere, even on the DJI site. (
THANK YOU ! THIS IS VERY HELPFUL ! I JUST GOT MY DJI MAVIC MINI AND I LOVE IT ! THANKS FOR THE GREAT TIPS !
Man this was so helpful! Thank you I can't wait to get out there now!
this is one of the best vids I've seen on this drone. thank you!
I was on the fence. You pushed me over. Thanks!
Just ordered my first ever drone. I thought the mini would be a good start. Thank you for taking the time to make this video as I will now have a good idea of what to expect when it arrives.
Thank you so much! Exactly what I needed & I love the way you presented. I wish more people were as good as you.
This was SO HELPFUL! Thank you so much! Very organized and precise.
The best beginner tube I have discovered on all beginner tutorials.
Once again, you’ve given us a very detailed, interesting, informative tutorial. Well done!👍
Thanks
Outstanding video! ! ! I am new to flying anything and this step to step video was definitely the best to watch. Very basic but extremely detail for anyone to watch over and over to pick up tips that they might have forgotten or didn’t catch in the first place. 👍
Clear and concise. Useful, practical, understandable, user-friendly, appropriate.. Best tutorial, of any product, I've ever seen - Thank you bro!
Watching the adverts as I've just found you and I think you deserve paying. I plan to buy this craft next week as my first drone and take it on a return trip to the Atacama desert next March. Your chanel strikes me as a great resourse to learn from, thanks.
thank you :)
So succinct, on track and easy to understand for newcomers and those even with experience. Should be a template for tutorials everywhere.
Thank you I was ultra nervous about setting this up, your guide was perfect.
This was the bestest educational video about this lil bugger, Thank you.
Just got my Mavic and your tutorial was PERFECT !!! It really broke things down for the novice pilot and made it easy to understand. Thank you. I look forward to more of your tutorials. Nice Job !!!
Thank you I’m glad you enjoyed it
This was by far, the best how to video I’ve seen yet on ANYTHING! Can’t wait for my mini to get here!
Thanks I’m glad you enjoyed it
one of the best narrated instructional videos I've watched on youtube.. thanks!
Great video! Simple, easy to follow, and really has me excited to get started! Thanks!!
Initially, I was planning on getting the DJI Spark as a step up from the Tello. But thankfully, the Mavic Mini came out and I excited for it instead.
to charge fast with the fly more combo, charge 2 batteries in the hub, and 1 in the drone itself.
Sam Huizenga Nice!
There only one cord, I will have to buy a second cord?????
Casey if you didn’t but the fly more combo, you will have to buy a second cord.
@@Timothee_Chalamet_CMBYN if you can afford this drone you can buy an extra cable?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Peter Storm who says I can’t?????!!! This video was tips about a sole Mavic mini not a tips about Mavic mini and extra cords, etc!!!!!
One of the BEST instructional videos I've EVER watched (and I've watched several hundred on multiple topics).
This is really useful, thank you! We haven't yet bought one but are just about it and this is super helpful to understand how simple it is to use 😊
Thank you
Anyone notice every Mav Mini RUclips tutorial is done by Canadians? Love it haha
One of the best instructional videos I have ever viewed. Thank you
One of the best getting started videos on RUclips. Easy to follow and learn from. The basics of any subject matter are the knowledge platform upon which it is built. Top job. Cheers from Michael. Australia.
Thank you I’m glad you enjoyed
Mavic mini is under Nano category here in India so no worries about registration
@MasonBerry Horncicle 😂😂😂
Thanks for this
Now new rules came it should be register now
@@y.heidantheoder8106 bruh
You covered some features other reviewers did not. The Geo lock, altitude setting and find my drone are good to know. This is no pro model, but may get me into drone video. Sweet little drone. Thanks.
You're an excellent teacher! I will save this video and go back to it as needed. I just purchased a MM and feel confident after viewing the whole video. Thanks so very much!
Best newbie tutorial
Ive ever watched. Very easy to
Comprehend. Clear voice and clear explanation.
Loved the video it really helped me out. I honestly am not capable to focus enough to read manuals 😅 so its really nice to learn it all in an easier way
Yeah
For beginners, strongly recommend to do your first flight outdoor. I was so excited the first night and i flew indoor and guess what, crashed twice in 5 min, luckily this drone is strong enough. Just did my first outdoor flight today and i would say this tiny thing is amazing
Eric NZ who tf would fly a drone indoors
Kono Dio Da saw some youtubers did that, besides, this is really a tiny drone
Are you a Zealander?
I have seen four different Mini beginner's guides and this one is the best. Great job!
Excellent video! Just the video i was looking for. Thanks! 👍👍
Okay to use an iphone that is not able to make calls except connected to Wi-Fi?
I think that is a yes...
Edited because I just checked their website and you dont need the phone or wifi at all you can fly with just the controller or use the phone for intelligent mode with the live view. According to dji the only time you need wifi is for activating the drone and ofc downloading updates wich is pretty nice !
This is gonna be my 6th drone. Also my best drone-
This is one of the best start ups on RUclips.. thanks man you nailed this
This was very helpful. The Mini is my 3rd DJI Drone and 6th overall. We can always learn something from others, and I did. You have a great and pleasant teaching style. Thank you for taking the time to help the community!
Thank you very much
I've been thinking about getting a Mini & it'll be my first drone if I do... This video is really helpful for me & is pushing me closer to getting one so cheers..;-))
It's worth getting! Just got mine and haven't even crashed it yet 😀!
@@shadowx2k2007 Nearly there, just got to pay for an expensive turntable repair & Mini will be next..;-)
Just got this as a Christmas gift. Great informative video. liked and subscribed. Any issues if you receive a phone call/social media notifications/ low iphone battery while using the app?
thanks and welcome aboard
Very professional tutorial, easy to understand, no confusion! Thank you Air Photography, excellent job.
Awesome video, exactly what I needed and just very clear and concise. Cheers
That moment when you need to charge your phone, the controller and the drone
i just got mine now, and im doing this while watching this video hahah
MonsVids SAME 😂😂😂
Мария Андреева sameee
they make a cable for that lol
i legit just got home after bying it and all drone, phone and remote are on like 20%
As a 60 year old who has never played any video games, I was feeling so scared about flying this drone for the first time. But watching this video, I am so much more confident. Thank you so very much for posting this to You Tube video. I, for one, really appreciate it.
Thank you I’m glad you enjoyed it
this is so cute and cool, I hope you're enjoying your drone, I'm about to take mine out forthe first tie and the nerves..
GREAT video, thanks for staying on topic and all the video editing/cuts
Very helpful as your video was articulate and logical to understand the steps needed for 1st flight. Thank you for producing this as it was excellent for a beginner like myself. Went right out after watching this and flew my new Mavic mini drone for the very first time and it worked perfectly! I am hooked as these things are fun!
Does Mavic Mini make three clicking sounds immediately after powering on? (Before props twitch and gimbal movement).
Thanks for the tutorial. I'm flying Parrot Bebop 2 Power Edition at the moment and thinking of purchasing a mav mini. I'm using a Samsung note 4 with the parrot. Is the note 4 too "obsolete" for the mini?
Excellent explanation. Thank you for the video. Very helpful!
OUTSTANDING video great patience and clarity explaining looking forward to more of your videos.! Thank you !
I was so excited to buy one but then I realized that in my country you have to regsiter everything, even if its 3grams, and you need a special certificate approved by the aviation agency and you need to attend a course at the agency to obtain your "license" which you have to pay for ofc. Also you have to file a request to go for a walk and register your legs but it's only 20eur per month so it's allright.
need to register my eyes to look around
Where You live?
This is only the second time I have seen an USB Micro A plug on a device, the "normal" USB Micro is B.
Excellent tutorial. Thanks very kindly!
Picking up my mini tomorrow morning. Fantastic video!! Thank you!!
Hey man great video. It covered all my questions except one. Which app do I install for the drone. I'm on android and I cant find the app that you are supposed to use. The only apps that look similar are DJI Go pro4 for drones since P4 and Dji Pilot. I tried both apps and they don't seem to have my drone, which is the mavic mini. It also didnt try to activate my drone. If you could help I would really appreciate it, thanks
Your phone is not compatible with the mini. You will need a different phone that is 64bit.
Question for you about the Fly app UI: once you’re connected to GPS and the semicircle icon appears at the bottom centre of your screen, does the moving little arrow represent north or your home location? Thanks!
it will always show your position in relation to the drone so you know where it is in the sky
Thank you for this video! I am a total noob to the drone world and just got the mini today. Watching this video as it charges up and it was very helpful for someone like me trying to get familiar with next steps.
Really helpful video giving all the information you need to get started. Since I’ve never flown any RC craft, I’m doing my research before buying one. The Mavic Mini will be my first choice .
Good job. Thanks.
Why has no one done an enhanced Wi-Fi connection test. Mini Vs Air. I still feel the mavic air is the better buy but the Wi-Fi sucks
I know that this is an older comment but, the mini and the air have the same wifi connection as far as I know. I have never had a problem with the air's wifi and have seen people get over 5 km with the air in low interference areas
hi, i just received my mavic mini, this is my first drone, how long does it takes to charge all 3 batteries for the first time, it seems taking a long time, thanks
E
Ta
Thank you! Very well organized . Explanation clear accurate and perfect for beginners
AMAZING! THANK YOU SO MUCH! 😊 💓 I was so afraid and also couldn't figure some things out. Your video is perfect.
I was very excited to order the mavic mini and unfortunatly learned after ordering and attempting to set up with my phone that there is no DJI Fly App available for the Samsung a10e or 10note. It will also not work with my Samsung tablet so unfortunatly I have to return to B&H Photo. Do your research. Overall it appears DJI supports Apple better than Android products which is crazy. So bummed.
Needs a phone with 64-bit OS, which is a piss-off if your perfectly good smartphone is only 32-bit. The DJI website does list compatible Android phones (there might be more but who knows?). Strangely, the bigger, pricier DJI drones' required software appears to work on 32-bit OS phones, just not the Mini.
So yes, do the research before buying, and remember that you might have to spend the same amount again for a suitable smartphone.
@@lusoverse8710 Picked up the S9+ which works fantastic. Love the Mini Mavic. Best $400 I've spent in a long time. Must have used it 20 times over the summer. Now I need my 107! Eyeing the Mavic 2 also... kudos dji...
This has immensely good technology, now i see why its 400 dollars
I bought my mini yesterday and after watching this all my questions are answered. Thank you for sharing 👍
Great I’m glad you found it helpful
Best video I watched yet. Thank you so much!
lol I got mine today. after the first "landing" my thumb was bleeding... I touched the blades...
Ouch, I have done that before
Well done! How old are you?
@@dragonenglish1014
22👁️👄👁️ i wanted to 'grab' it out of the air. With the phantom 3 professional was it never a problem
im still really scared of running it into something and breaking it...
3 things to help with that fear 1) stay in open field (no tree, no powerlines, no people) 2) use the propeller guards for added peace of mind, it's basically a cage 3) stay in P mode and softly move joysticks
@@o4saken1 you recommend P mode over C mode, when just beginning? which is slower?
I haven't flown in a few months so this is a good refresher video. Thanks.
excellent introduction to the dji mini. Very thorough, organized, and clear. Thank you!
SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME😭
What app do I use for android, I've tried many different apps but every single one doesn't seem to work (the drone's camera is completely dark).
Also, I cannot download the dji fly app for some reason too, I tried opening the file but it says "cannot open file" on the bottom of my screen.
Sooo if somebody knows something about my problem please let me know
I'm having the same issue
I own a mavic air. I dont know what i am doing here.
Nice and clear, I really found this video helpful! Thanks
Thanks for the great video. After some research and watching various videos I thought that the Mavic mini would be great for my first drone. Luckily my son and daughter in law decided it would a great gift for a fast approaching significant birthday and bought me the fly more combo. This video is excellent in explaining how to set up the drone for flight and how to take it into the air. I have watched it several times and feel ready and prepared for my first flight tomorrow, weather permitting. Thanks again for a fantastic video
Yeah, that whole SD card insertion and removal is so way beneath the DJI rep, huh. Gotta have a seriously pro manicure.
Eh?
Thanks for the excellent intro video. Super helpful
When you don’t have a real pencil to point with so you use your Apple Pencil.
Excellent job on your review! I have been looking at getting a drone to add extra footage to our videos. I am new to drones and you explained everything in detail. Thanks for such a great video!
I'm at the edge of a pool. Air Photography pushed me into it. Best review ever
Brilliant. Very informative and clear. Thank you ! 😊👍
Man, outstanding tutorial Bro, thank you very much for taking your time and providing this information for everyone. Peace!
I just bought a DJI Mini SE. I’m glad I’ve found this video. Thank you for this review.😊
Excellent! I did not want to break it putting the charging cable into the wrong port! You helped me to gain the confidence that I was doing it right! Thanks my friend!
Nice, very very nicely done. I‘m just about to get ready for my first flight, and this helps so much! Thank you 🙏
Just bought the mini 2 yesterday. Thank you so much for the information. Can't wait to fly!
Great video with loads of great tips. Thanks!x
The best beginner video! Thank you!
excelent video! Gratz from Brazil!
