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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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
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!
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..
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.
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.
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
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
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?
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
thanks for your awesome mini vids, really helped me with getting the confidence on the first flight. What a great little drone to fly. If i ever get another drone, it will be one you have already done vlogs for. Cheers mate.
Love the videos so far, purchasing a Mavic Mini in a few days and I am a completely new to drones (never flew one), so I’m glad I found your channel!!!
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.
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.
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!
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.
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 a lot for the vid dude. Very informative. I’m so excited for my drone. It’s my first one and fingers crossed they send it out tomorrow and not the 25 day wait? Looking fwd to part 2. Guys like me need these videos lol
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.
You are really the best one in this! Nice description. All details :D I love it!!! Keep the good work. You helped me a lot with understanding this drone
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.
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.
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
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
Great simple intro! I'm sure this might be a step some folks might over look with being so excited to get the drone up and flying :-) Question about attaching viewing screen to the controller. Is there a holder for the Mini ( to use an ipad instead of your phone? ) PolarPro FlightDeck or MavMount Tablet / CrystalSky Mount ?? Thanks
Thanks for the very useful info Flytpath! I'm watching your video while anxiously awaiting delivery of mine. Unfortunately my mini was only shipped yesterday, so it will be a few days more before it arrives. After viewing part 1, I was left with only one (rather obvious) question. I did a google search and found my answer. It seems you neglected to mention that the remote controller needs to be charged before first flight also. Only a novice like me would probably need to have that mentioned ;-) Thanks for all your great videos!
Massive appreciation for all of your videos over the years, Aldryn.
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!
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.
Took advantage of the great combo price on the Mavic Mini on Amazon today and ordered! My first drone.
Same here. Ordered just now
Great video. I like how clear and precise you are. Very easy to follow along and great footage. Well done!
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 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
Very clear and comprehensive information for a first time drone user, I look forward to getting started very soon.

Man! First real drone. After unboxing I was really confused. Thanks for this and saving me time and headache. Perfectly done

Hi Aldryn
Excellent tutorial, very clear and concise, look forward to part two...👍
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!
Brilliant explanation for dummies like me! Thank you so much!
Just got my mini in the mail 2 days ago and I’m HOOKED! Can’t wait to be in SoCal this summer to get some great footage.
Have fun!

Thank You for the info. Had issues downloading the the DJI fly app. After it loaded all went OK
Picked up a Mini 2 yesterday. Thanks for the videos man. Subbed!

Good choice!
Excellent! Thanks for the right the point well paced video! Can't wait to fly my new drone

thanks for the info. I'm getting my first drone (mavic mini) next week. You really have great info; thanks for sharing.
I have ordered my 1st DJI mavic mini drone this video is very useful.
Enjoy it
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!
Love all your Videos man. My mavic mini combo is on the way! 😊
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.
Straight forward video. Just go my Mini today. Subscribed.
You are amazing and explained to Mavic mini magnificence

Subscribed. Gr8 video explaining all steps. Hi from Down Under and thanks.
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.
Screw loose! Took your advice to check the prop screws. One of mine was loose. Cheers!
Bought mine a few days ago, love it!
Great video! Really appreciate the great and simple explanation :)
You are really the best one in this! Nice description. All details :D I love it!!! Keep the good work. You helped me a lot with understanding this drone
Thanks a lot!
Thanks for the tutorial. Im excited to get one very soon
Great job Aldryn very well done cant wait to see part 2

Thanks for watching
Another great video.... Thank you for the important information. 👍
Best tutorial out there, thanks. I subscribed and I never do that. Great job!!
Awesome, thank you!
Thank you for the helpful tutorial.
What happens when getting a call while flying the mini?
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
Perfect video for beginners thanks man 👍
Excellent information and presentation. Subscribed.
Welcome aboard!
Thank you so much , it was very helpful on my 1st flight with my mini
Exactly the video I was looking for - thanks!
Checking the tension on prop blades was smart
Thanks, getting one for Christmas
Awesome vid and you answered ALL my questions/concerns. Gonna buy one. How long for deliveries from DJI web site? Thanks.

Thank you so much for these vids on the Mini. I might have destroyed it if I hadn't watch them.
Very good video 👍 I have a question, what is a signal range of remote controler? Greetings from Poland 😁
Unboxing mine now! Thank you for this!
