[@tjukurrta]

Just bought mine today, watching your videos in preparation for my first flight tomorrow. Thanks for all your valuable information 👍

[@pancakeman919]

Me too

...and me👍🏻😉☺️

[@theresacarter8687]

Iii

[@lukecast6360]

And me, I don’t know what I’d do 😂

[@colbycarroll7746]

I bought mine today!

[@michaelhiggins7365]

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.

[@tomirwin4819]

I got the same deal.. have fun!

[@PH1M0]

I did as well, happy flying!

[@joseleyba4910]

I got up at 3AM to buy it - at that $399 price for the Fly More I thought they would sell out quick! :)

[@PH1M0]

@@joseleyba4910 I checked at 12 am and it wasn’t on sale yet, so I actually got it at 530am. Charging now!

[@user-hl2zx9xv9v]

Are u shure about that

[@geezerpleasers_OG]

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.

[@OffTheHizzle]

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.

[@robertwalker3168]

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.

[@Bleeder9000]

Massive appreciation for all of your videos over the years, Aldryn.

[@ManuSandhu]

Great video. I like how clear and precise you are. Very easy to follow along and great footage. Well done!

[@Pindi44]

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.

[@BrandonTalbot]

Just took my first flight! Thanks for all the info! Had no idea that it would be this much fun, and this easy.

[@rickshawphilippines]

Checking the tension on prop blades was smart

[@tonestar00]

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!

[@Badass-cycles]

Great, I am a beginner an buyed a DJI mini 2nd hand. So i must learn everything from this drone.

[@napierstaples]

Just purchased my first drone. This video was a great help. Thank you

[@Petervandiessen]

Just bought one today, it will arive next week. Thanks for the easy to follow no-nonsense instructions!

[@FlytPath]

Glad I could help!

[@peterlong9629]

Took advantage of the great combo price on the Mavic Mini on Amazon today and ordered! My first drone.

[@Ryan.410]

Same here. Ordered just now

[@FinleysWorld]

Can’t wait to get mine tomorrow

[@MicoGhostTheOldCodger]

Very well done video. My Mavic Mini is supposed to be shipped tomorrow. If it is, I should have it by Thursday.

[@JetlagLiv]

Awesome!!!! My new (and first ever) Mavic Mini gets here on Wednesday and this was so helpful!!! 🎉 thank you so much

[@watchingeye5435]

Congratulations

[@jasecummins8143]

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

[@utopiaimagerystudios5383]

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!

[@microrails]

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

[@BestLia]

I like your drone setup lesson very much . Thank you for sharing this . I have a mavic mini drone. I am going to the beach soon 😊👍

[@FlytPath]

Enjoy

[@Alex420DT]

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.

[@merlinelmaje]

i bought an used FLy more combo excelent condition, but with your tutorial i am happier, thx , greetings from Mexico

[@steveshellenberger-letsmak6283]

Great job. This was an excellent step by step guide for us newbies. Thanks for detailed tutorial.

[@ashmorerv]

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

[@FlytPath]

Thanks for watching.

[@MililaniJag]

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

[@semajprimrose2546]

Very clear and comprehensive information for a first time drone user, I look forward to getting started very soon.

[@vinhha6073]

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..

[@Notthisoneeitherdumbass]

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.

[@buddhastaxi666]

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

[@amarley28]

Picked up a Mini 2 yesterday. Thanks for the videos man. Subbed!

[@azizaladwani000]

You are amazing and explained to Mavic mini magnificence

[@eadjh98]

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!

[@ElbertPoling]

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.

[@Alexkk47]

Thank you for answering the WiFi / Cellular part :) because I'm looking forward to do most of my flying in remote areas.

[@kissfan8675309]

Yes! I was nervous you needed cellular all the time. Which wouldn’t work for me where I want to fly. Glad it works!

[@Woody54321]

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

[@FlytPath]

Glad I could help!

[@burtgault3787]

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.

[@ashleyfletcher7373]

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.

[@filmlog1983]

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!

[@ashleyfletcher7373]

@@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.

[@filmlog1983]

@@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.

[@jenniferfleming633]

I got mine this morning and I love it I can actually fly a drone that I trust

[@ZaneAli27]

You’re excellent and informative , Aldryn! Going to use your advice . Just got my mini , so wish me luck !

[@basedty5246]

I’m hoping to get the drone this holiday season, your vids are a great preparation

[@Profundis1]

Brilliant explanation for dummies like me! Thank you so much!

Straight forward video. Just go my Mini today. Subscribed.

[@H.pylori]

Just got mine in the mail. You are a LIFESAVER!! Thank you.

[@RcrBoy]

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.

[@tylerjohnson704]

Bought mine a few days ago, love it!

[@manuelmandujano5480]

[@microrails]

Thank You for the info. Had issues downloading the the DJI fly app. After it loaded all went OK

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! 😊

[@dronerisephotography2378]

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.

Great video. The only thing I didn't see was the step for charging the controller.

Very helpful. Mine arrived yesterday.

[@porkchop94]

Mine will be here this Saturday 👍. Thanks for the awesome and helpful videos so far 😊. Thks for sharing 😊 👍

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.

[@FlytPath]

Have fun!

[@eyesky6809]

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?

[@Al-mu4ff]

Thanks, getting one for Christmas

[@jungleboyfromoz]

Just bought mine, thanks for the time for making this. Can’t wait to fly it 😉

[@FlytPath]

Have fun!

[@rastadominican]

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

[@gvanausdle]

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.

[@rayburn8282]

You will love it, it's a night and day difference

[@johnmanuel7561]

Thanks for the review. I’m looking to add some drone footage to my channel! This was great!

[@dtkdubs]

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.

[@jasonharrad8088]

I love the stabilization and image captures. I decided to get the DJI mini in the end. So looking forward to camping in Glencoe.

[@FlytPath]

Good choice!

[@srkrono]

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.

[@marksocal5526]

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 :-)

[@barneykennett9282]

Hi Aldryn Excellent tutorial, very clear and concise, look forward to part two...👍

[@AGdroid]

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!

[@RNSTTRESE]

First of, THANK YOU for the tips. But you know one thing that's not discussed in these reviews?? And I have been looking into several of them and didn't find anyone discussing or experiencing about it. It's when the Mavic Mini gets overheating messages during long time firmware updates. I don't know if they encounter it or not, but for those newbies like me, you might encounter overheating during the firmware updates installation. During this time, the props are not spinning and so the drone is completely idle for several minutes and that's when an overheating can be encountered. I believe a fan can cool down your Mavic Mini while the update is being installed. I have encountered this problem yesterday during the installation of several updates/initial configurations.

[@kurtfirestone2761]

Thank you so much , it was very helpful on my 1st flight with my mini

[@knottssonasty3603]

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

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.
