12 First Flight Tips - Mavic Mini Beginners Setup Guide Part 2 of 2

[@jesswynn9626]

Ok so there’s no way I could watch this and not make a comment - excellent video - I like the enlarged device screen displayed to further enhance the educational information us viewers get from watching it - firm voice , no goofing around or annoying shenanigans - well done, I appreciate it , my Mavic Mini arrives tomorrow the day before Thanksgiving ✌️

[@FlytPath]

That means a lot Jess. Hope your first flight goes well. Take it slow.

[@240LTS]

... Exactly! So many videos from others are a bunch of fluff or BS. Videos should be like these, short, clear and to the point. Thanks so much. .

[@kalkydra]

I share the feeling of this post. Great job on your guide. Mine arrive this Saturday!! Cheers!

[@kolikojesati91]

+1 here. You're doing a great job. Best dji reviewer on KZbin.

[@derekdoubleut]

I get my Mini net week. How do you like yours now that you've had it for a while?

[@Brett8848]

DJI should really learn from this video how to make a tutorial, very informative and clear, thanks for this!

[@FlytPath]

Thank u 🙏

[@rolo1054]

Brett Xie You are so right. Best First Flight video out there. There is a lot of let-me-tell you videos out there. This let-me-show you video should be the standard. I viewed it (along with others that were not nearly as useful) before my first flight, and I’m back to review and still hone basic skills shown here.

[@cocoboy5215]

thank you sir, you made our life easier for us first timer drone owners.

[@FlytPath]

Great to hear. Thanks

[@biggc313]

Me too just got mine today

[@ahmedsheikh5928]

I’m a 12 year old who has crashed many drones so it isn’t my first time but I suck at flying so yeah

[@watchingeye5435]

That’s right we want to see more Mavic mini videos from you

[@watchingeye5435]

Kool Aid Victor concentrate in direct looking the drone with your eyes. I do have glasses too and I learned not to trust the screen on my phone too much.

[@KarlPlesz]

I have watched a lot of KZbinrs talk about their Mavic Mini experiences and you are by far the most informative. As others have said, you don't fool around or ramble on, you get to the point with excellent visuals and a great narrative style. Kudos!

[@FlytPath]

Thanks Karl I appreciate that

[@davidpecjak544]

Great video! Remind new flyers that as they maneuver their drone, if they panic, just let go of BOTH sticks to allow the drone to simply hover. This may be obvious to us, but could save a drone or two for new flyers.

[@countryboymotovlogs926]

And remember if you get disoriented of over wellmed just let go of the sticks and the drown will stop and just hover. Catch your breath and return it to you slowly.

[@alistairross4317]

Excellent tip. thanks!

[@gam85191]

This here is the best video I have found on drone control for beginners. I have a Mavic Mini so this very much comes in handy

[@opsoverseas]

Watched this vlog before my mavic mini turned up, it really helped, three years later I'm still flying it and getting better, three crashes now, first was knocked out of the sky by a red kite being territorial, broken arm, second was flying into a football goal frame in a slow control sequence, new props, and the third one was breaking the gimbal mounts after an attempt at self catch landing went wrong. Every mistake is a learning opportunity! Thanks Aldryn!

[@navarredr]

I used to fly a single-rotor copter, back in the day. It was so difficult to hover. I've tried a couple of quad-copters since, but before they built in smart hovering. I can't believe how far quad-copters.. drones.. have come. Looking forward to flying the mavic mini! Thanks!

[@JahanSalehi]

I"m an experienced drone pilot, and I think you do an excellent job at instruction and demonstration. I'm impressed, and will subscribe to your channel. Well done.

[@FlytPath]

Means a lot thanks jahan

[@ianwillis-bentley2086]

Bally tiptop, no bull, no me, me, me, just straight to the point with great points made. Thank you

[@FlytPath]

wow thanks

[@aries752005]

I don't know if anyone already commented "This video made me decide to buy my first drone." thanks for your video! It really helps a lot someone like me.

[@FlytPath]

Thanks Aries happy flying

[@balisurf8994]

I echo that

[@ewingfox6459]

Great video! Something that new flyers should take note of is that for those of us who don't live in sunny California - expect their drone to freak out every few seconds about low temperature! I received my mavic mini last night and of course ran straight out and started flying. it was 12° Fahrenheit and the unit quickly decided it was too cold but beyond giving me an alert letting me know I still was able to enjoy around 20 minutes of flight at high speed, with crosswinds before it finally told me that it needed to come home and take a warm bath and have a cup of tea (not really!!) Thanks again for yet another great video and a very direct presentation style. I am definitely glad that I made you my first drone related subscription - after watching three of your videos you quickly went on my very short 'do not skip ads' list and I am also recommending you to my friends who are quite jealous of my new drone and are thinking about getting into the hobby!!

[@FlytPath]

That’s awesome I’m glad I was able to help. Stay warm out there

[@davidwiniger3799]

Was your lens foggy? That’s what happened to me.

[@ewingfox6459]

@@davidwiniger3799 amazingly, My lens did not fog but then again the humidity is just about zero up here with it being so cold!

Aldryn, I've bought a Mavic Mini (fly combo) and your videos are helping me to understand how to fly a drone. Your videos are very didactic and well edited. Keep up the awesome work! Regards from Brazil!

[@FlytPath]

Thank you very much. Glad it helped

[@kingbliss1509]

Today was the first day I got to fly my Mavic mini. I had such little confidence in my flying skills, so I had to stop flying after just a few flight. After watching these tips, I have been boosted a new HIGH of confidence. Thank you so much

[@KenKneknaneek]

Am an experience flier, 78 years old and have a couple of dji drones but because I got my mini late fall and it is too cold and snowy to fly until maybe march, your video is much appreciated. It is one thing to read the manual, but nothing beats a good visual demo. Have been a long time subscriber to your channel and appreciate all that you do on it. Happy Flying

[@tw3nty7]

Ok so after going almost through all of the mavic mini playlist and reading all of the manuals I think im ready for my first flight, wish me luck

[@ALCOR_46]

Good luck. My first fly day will be tomorrow after the skies clear out a little bit

[@gjprince887]

Me too!

[@Iflyanythin]

Tip not mentioned ? If your using a mobile phone put your phone in airplane mode to save calls while flying

[@williamlee1094]

Do you need the wifi or bluetooth from the phone to keep the communication with the drone?

[@iangolsby8471]

@@williamlee1094 No. The controller uses wifi to connect to the drone and your phone uses that small cable to connect to the controller.

[@christianbeccy]

Does this affect map rendering?

[@GaLDebil]

And in airplane mode your phone can fly with the drone

[@biggc313]

Thanks

[@sionehefa3458]

Brilliant! It is June 2022 and I am finally getting a second hand Mavic Mini real cheap and this video just gives me the confidence I need to fly it.

[@epacrisimp]

Ditto and these videos are great! I have subscribed.

[@edmartin9431]

Recently purchased the unit. Finished part 1 and 2 of the start videos. I usually search for several different areas for instructional items before moving forward. Don’t think I will need todo this after watching your init8al videos. Now to fly the unit for the first time and look at a couple more videos to further items of flying! Thanks for being concise and no BS in your delivery of information! Will get back to you......... Ed in AZ

[@ahnanji]

First time drone pilot, learning to use controls and features of the MAVIC MINI. I would like to fly it over ponds, rivers and lakes. Can you talk about the issues like, how low is safe, what happens to GPS connections and wifi connections, plus any other dangers I might not be aware of. Thanks. Your tutorials have been very helpful in building my confidence.

[@mammeogirl]

I found out the hard way, updrafts over moving water and bridges. Everything worked out without crashing but it was a pucker moment:)

[@JoshThompson25]

Put up a video explaining calibration and demostrate it! Should definitely be something new flyers see

[@bhammons34]

New Drone owner. Great job making a video that is still very much relevant after a couple of years. Purchased a Mavic Mini used so I was searching for educational videos. Great info here!! Thank you

[@FlytPath]

Thanks Brian

[@jesswynn9626]

Once again, excellent job - speaking clear at an easy to keep up with pace - no nonsense slapstick or unnecessary jokes thrown in just a top notch instructional video - thank you

[@lilyrose8619]

Wish I watched this before my first flight, my first flight was a crash because of orientation :(

[@Pindi44]

I definitely got value from this video, many thanks. Your tutorials are a boon for newbies like me.

[@FlytPath]

🙏👊🏼

[@akgaming.2938]

@@FlytPath Would you like to tell me what is the best option for buying a drone in 2019.MAVIC air or mavic mini.

[@Kayshots]

DO WHAT YOU WANT. Well the mavic air is double price so i guess the mavic mini

[@akgaming.2938]

@@Kayshots Yeah you said absolutely right but I think mavic mini can't stay in windy conditions due to their ultra lightweight so that is why I think mavic air is a best option to buy and have more features. Mostly I travel in the mountains that I think that mavic air is better stay than mavic mini in windy conditions what do you think? Have a great day!😀😃😄🙂

The more videos of your I watch the more confident I am that I will be able to fly effectively, Awesome

[@donander1]

Just got the Mini and had my first flight today. Before heading outside I watched this video again and made a bullet list of the tips for pre-flight. I have a one acre lot with plenty of open space so it went better than I expected. Except for crashing into my cherry blossom tree when I wasn't paying attention. But it hurt the tree more than the drone. No damage. Plus one on the other comments. Your videos provide the most and best information per minute.

[@zanue7158]

Thanks because I though that return to home would crash your drone since there are no side sensors but now I not to set my height, thanks soooooo much!!!!

[@tomnapier9924]

I thought the video was great and very educational I am expecting my mavic mini in three days and I have been very excited can't wait to get in the air and especially fly a dji drone

[@vegasrjr]

I've owned just about every drone DJI and Autel makes, but I still enjoy your informative videos..One of these days when I'm in SD I'll bring my Inspire 2 and let you have a go at it..

[@El_Smeghead]

I'm a seasoned flyer but this video is absolutely spot on for beginners. I've shared it to the DJI MAVIC MINI Facebook group. Hopefully will put a stop to everyone putting up "I crashed my mavic mini" posts.

[@jjfergie]

Picking up my Mini in about an hour. Extreme newbie here. Will take it very slow and and am grateful for the beginner tips! Can't wait to play with this thing!

[@geezerpleasers_OG]

I cannot imagine why anyone would give this excellent video a thumbs down.

[@Elstan24]

Just came back from my first test flight with mini. I cant describe how helpful was the information this gentleman broadcasted. I have watched all from unboxing to flying. Its amazing entry level drone which handled high wind here in UK. I dont know your name, but thank you very much and good luck to you sir! 😉

[@jamesbaker2035]

One thing that I might suggest in preflight, much as say in a Cessna, is to run your fingers along the edges of the props and feel for deep gouges or scratches. I realized after a seemingly small crash that a couple of props were deeply scratched with the very ends of the prop slightly damaged. This caused a slow drift to the left when attempting to hover. Filing the imperfections down returned the drone to regular flight characteristics. (If the props were too damaged then of course you'd replace them.) Great videos!

[@johnveuger2346]

I just ordered from amazon and my droane will be here on the 14th of may .I'm excited to get flying your tutorials are awesome !and this being my first droane and I'm 53 years old going to need all the help I can get.but am confined with your instruction. Thanks very much .jv

Few moments ago, first flight ever with drone, in my bedroom. Mavic mini is so easy to control, but right now, im watching your videos and preparing myself for first outdoor shots. Thanx on everything, great tips. 💪❤️

[@MrK67017]

Thank you bro. I purchased my Mini two weeks ago and took it out today in windy conditions for the first time. I only flew for about 15 minutes but throughly enjoyed it.

[@rosenzlatev6303]

Hello from Bulgaria:) .Thank you for helping me with the lessons. My very first flight was at home. Everything went smoothly. The think that I sow is when you tape to record videos or pictures from the phone it goes to the phone memory and if you do it from the remote control they go to SD card. You can mention that in your next video because it is something that beginners should know.

[@caw3225]

I’ve never (successfully) flown a drone before. I crashed my first cheap drone on the first attempt and messed it up pretty badly. My first 8 flights with my brand new Mini were before I found your videos (which recommended against first flights indoors) and all 8 were in my living room. I launched and landed successfully off of and onto a TV tray each flight. I figured out that I needed to use Mode C, and I had the guards on. I guess the point of my post is.....dang, this little drone is really easy to fly. I didn’t prang it into the Christmas tree or a wall. Tomorrow, I’m off to the park. 5 thumbs up.

[@Turbojoe70]

I wonder how much money you've saved people in avoided crashes because they watched your video before their first flight, not after it! I'm looking at getting my first and thanks to your video, I'm a lot less scared I'm going to crash it into a lake on the first flight! Top stuff, thanks very much.

Great advice about Camera forward or as we rc heli pilots refer to as "tail in". Thanks again and great video!
