Dude, part one link isn't working. Just finally got my Air and came back to get some knowledge. Thanks in advance and as for Part 1's link...I got your back: th-cam.com/video/s6tnbDW_-m4/w-d-xo.html
Ed Ricker you are a gifted communicator. By far the best intro to any drone I've seen, I feel like I've flown the thing. DJI should hire you to do their product demos. So much better than wading through 15 DJI official videos to see one feature per vid.
I have been looking for this kinda tutorial for so many days. All other youtuber have shown only unboxing, Cinematic views, etc. You are the one who actually shown how to operate this drone. This is awesome video
Watched part 1 & 2 - Best beginner instruction yet. Its old school this model now (I was given this Drone by a mate) but the APP seems to work for lots of DJi so is just as relevant. Off to try out Ed's instruction, I feel a lot more confident in getting going with it than I did before (and I reckon my mate would have learnt a lot from these 2 vids). Good job Mr Ricker..
YOURS WAS THE FIRST TUTORIAL I WATCHED AND LEARNED FROM WHEN I BOUGHT MY MAVIC PRO TWO YEARS AGO.YOUR VIDEO WAS ENTERNAING AND EDUCATIONAL. YOU'RE A PRO AND I STILL ENJOY WATCHING AND LISTENING TO YOU.THANKS ED.
After watching part 1 and 2 I can only say that this was the best tutorial I’ve seen on TH-cam. Thanks for sharing and it’s time to take my Mavic Air and try it in an open field 👍
Hi Ed. You are one off THE BEST! It's the best tutorial I have ever seen. I feel really "green"/brand new to drones but after your video I feel better. Well done. Thank you.
Hi Ed. Wow! I was just notified I received "👍" for my comment regarding your tutorial. You see? It's not only my opinion. 😎 Anyway, thank you again. Couple days ago I was doing initial setup and I was amazed again how easy you made it for us - beginners. Have a good day.
Ed, I am about a year or so behind the cutting edge. However, I would like to extend a great big Thank You for a great video. Just what a novice like myself needed. I watched both installments, and now have a bit more confidence in what I can do with my 'New' Mavic Air. Just waiting on two other batteries to show up, and I'll be heading to the field to fly her. Thanks again for covering everything, making it easier to understand what I got myself into!
Your tutorials are absolutely awesome. Simple step by step instructions and demo of each interaction. Well done Ed, keep it up.Thoroughly enjoyable indeed. Dave from South Africa
Absolutely fantastic! I wish I had found these before I started flying mine! I can’t wait to try out some of those intelligent flight modes. The only one I’ve tried was “follow me” so far. Very professionally done, sir!
After few month , few flies... I went back to view your vid again.... like ... go back to school... lol.... one thing I really love today Sir, and it’s my first time too... I fly my Air as far as I can not see it... soooo far... me and my son couldn’t see it... wow then I press RTH ... oh my lord... it’s amazing that this drone do... landing right my feet....amazing amazing...
This technology is truly the epitomy of future. A lot of people don't really know what they're dealing with but it is truly magical and beautiful. In my opinion, it is a very exciting thought to have a drone with such a professional camera that can take cinematic footage using a professional camera. No matter what drone you would get, just always remember that it is always worth the money.
Both tutorials were very helpful for me because that was my first drone and I wanted to be as careful and cool as i could be. One week has passed with at least 3 flights per day and I’m comfortable with the drone. As you said practice is the key. Thank you for the helpful videos.
Thanks again.. you're now officially my 'go to' guy for the mavic pro. Just got it today, too much wind in my area for now, saturday and sunday are going to be fab and can't WAIT to start with those hand gestures. Very best regards, from South AFrica ! Your tutorials really rock.
The best one I have seen. None of the other tutorials I searched, about 10 videos really show you basic explanations how to take off and land and the basic settings. They just go through settings and then you see them flying a drone. They assume you know how to take off and land which is not a great assumption when you are a beginner and have never flown the Air before. We need someone to say, press this and press that and if possible show us.. Again, really great job getting us in the air.
I've been in this covid-19 quarantine for over a month now. I decided to FINALLY try to learn how to fly my drone that's been sitting in its box since I got it, over a year ago. I wish every instruction video was this simple. Thanks for this great tutorial.
Out of all of the "beginners guide" videos that I have watched, yours is the best that I have watched. None of the others mentioned calibration. Thanks for a great series
The most informative tutorial I've yet seen on the Mavic Air. Just purchased one yesterday and tried the tutorials from DJI (They suck). Your two videos have tremendously helped me both with setting up my drone for the first time, and going out to get the feel on its maiden flight. Thanks! I truly appreciate the time you spent on putting together these two videos.
I've watched many how to start-up with Mavic Air videos. All I needed was this one.... by far the best tutorial I have found. I may actually try to fly the beast today. Thanks
Ed, thanks for this video and the earlier part one. I watched them both several times yesterday and took my Mavic Air on its (and my) maiden journey this morning. I felt confident and prepared thanks to you sharing your experience with us folks new to drone piloting. Two thumbs up!
Thanks Ed for your expertise. I just got my magic air two weeks ago and have watched your videos to help me from set up to some of the more advanced settings. I’m new to drones so your your experience and step by step videos have been invaluable . Thank You
Watched both your videos man and these are the best tutorials by far. Cut right to the chase and I learned more than having to read the book. Lamens terms, and instead of 45 minutes of crap like most others you've accomplished it in 16 minutes. Well done
Thanks for a couple of brilliant videos on the Mavic Air. You have a great gift as an instructor and manage to make it very useful to new owners and enjoyable for those of us who have flown and owned different drones, but just wanted a low-down on the Mavic Air. Well done!
HI Ed, this video could easily be used as the out of the box official DJI Video Tutorial. Excellent! Ive bought one and I cant wait to use it. Thank you very much.
Excellent Video tutorial! As a result of this video I took my first flight! Thanks so much Ed! I look forward to learning more from you! Well done! Concise and easy to follow without too much blah blah! Thumbs up to you!!😊
Excellent work dude! Clear, concise and to the point. I’ve had a phantom 3 pro for a long while and just picked up the mavic air yesterday, you’ve pretty much given me everything I need to know without all the basic stuff which you kindly split out into the first part......and, how tiny is this drone!!?? Keep up the great work dude! 👊
Hi Ed from Australia, just bought a mavic air fly more combo a couple of days ago and I’m setting up now . Your 2 part series has been th most informative on TH-cam abt setting up its been a massive help I can’t thank you enough cheers
Although I have not purchased my drone yet, I've primarily been researching the best one for my use which would be (Real Estate Aerial photography) but at a budget price and compact, but have been watching a ton of videos. Yours are spot on.....To the point....covers all features coupled with short examples without a lot of hype. Thanks and good job!
Simple, basic and very easy to understand everything you said. I've watched other videos about basic set up of the Mavic Air and you take the time to explain everything. Thanks...
This has been SO helpful! Took my Mavic Air to 180 feet high today, and been having a great time. Going slowly: burn a battery or two, then come in and read some more! I'm really getting the hang of it.
Thank you for making these two videos. Made setting up and understanding my new DJI Mavic Air so much easier. Will recommend these videos to anyone who buys a new DJI Mavic Air.
I want to thank you for the detailed info in these Mavic videos. Just got my PRO in yesterday and you really helped with the learning curve. Okule Maluna!
Hey Ed- Just got my Mavic Air. Your Videos are FANTASTIC!!! Thank you so much for that. That was so helpful when setting up my Mavic. Keep on doing the awesome work. ❤️
Luke De Young, I’ve only been able to fly it as there are strong winds in the area. The one time I flew it everything I tried worked. it was so much fun. I tried out the sports mode. I was blown away by the speed. I’ve got a lot to learn about using it but so far I’m totally stoked by the Mavic air.
Thnx Ed! Your Tutorials are very clear, clean and helpfull. Watched them both a few times and now ready for flying myself.I'll keep following your instruction films.greetz from the Netherlands.
Just purchased a Mavic Air. Excellent tutorial and well explained. After watching your Beginners Guide there's everything I need to know to start. Thank you kindly.
I love your videos. Got my first Mavic Air yesterday and you were with me during the entire set up. I really appreciated your set up video. Today is flight day. You will be with me again. Ha. Thanks.

Thanks for info it really made a difference and a lot easier now I can try it out..
amazing tutorial, i am a drone beginner and i can say this vid built my confidence without even trying to fly my drone for the first time

AMAZING video thank you so much for taking the time to do this
There are many Drone- How to use videos on TH-cam but this channel seems to be the best for explaining how to use one.
Just bought my first drone, and it's this one!
Thanks for clean and precise tutorial mate! This helped me a lot!
Cheers! You got new sub! ;)
Saameee
Really appreciate the clarity, Ed. Thanks for taking your time and helping me with my new drone.

I just received the Mavic Air and your videos (part 1 and part 2) were God sent. You really have a knack for these tutorials. THANK YOU!
rbelsee I’m thinking about buying this drone soon, do you like it so far?
Luke De Young, I’ve only been able to fly it as there are strong winds in the area. The one time I flew it everything I tried worked. it was so much fun. I tried out the sports mode. I was blown away by the speed. I’ve got a lot to learn about using it but so far I’m totally stoked by the Mavic air.
I wish there was a video that more explains using the quick shots and also the blinking light on the drone. Good video thanks so much for doing that.
Easy to see you put a ton of work into this video and edit, with all the different camera angles etc. Thanks so much for putting the time into this.
Your explanation for the use of drones very magnificence and useful
I just purchased mine and this tutorial is the best I've seen! Thanks for your superior attention to detail! Thanks!
Thnx Ed! Your Tutorials are very clear, clean and helpfull. Watched them both a few times and now ready for flying myself.I'll keep following your instruction films.greetz from the Netherlands.

By far the best beginner guide. Thanks and keep uploading videos.
Great video straight to the point. I do like videos that crack on with the subject and that's exactly what you do. Thankyou so much for posting

Great tutorial. Simple, explanatory and to the point. Awesome.
