DJI Air 2S Beginners Guide & Tutorial | Getting Ready For First Flight

Welcome to my beginner's guide and tutorial for the new DJI Air 2S Drone. This beginners guide and training video is designed for those who have never flown a drone before to help them get familiarized with the equipment and app and get them prepared for their very first flight. If you have never flown a drone before this is a great place to start before taking your first flight with the DJI Air 2S. We cover topics such as flight modes, what memory to use, updating the firmware, activating the drone, return to home, launching and landing the drone, and many other aspects of flying the DJI Air 2S.

I've been going through countless videos for the Air 2S and this is by far the best beginning tutorial I've come across. Everything covered in an easy to follow instructional. Any questions I had throughout were covered by the end of the video. Kudos!!!

[@AirPhotography]

Thank you very much I’m glad you enjoyed it

[@Jeevesjee]

I was just about to write here the same thing. Thanks @Air Photography.

[@phoenix-_-1983]

Have to agree this has made me feel more confident about taking my first flight

[@johnkidnay2413]

Absolutely the best beginners guide for the Air 2S. Have got through multiple tutorials and got more confused from their instructions. In many cases they talk about a button and may have pressed it but it was done too quickly or their fingers blurred the movement.. Your use of the pencil is ideal. You also explain more and how to make many of the adjustments. Great job!!!.

[@RonaldBrown59]

Great beginners guide Sean. I even learn something everything I watch your beginner video's. This video will help out a lot of new drone owners.

[@inveimer2015]

I have just bought an used Air 2s . Thanks for that tutorial

[@mariosardo9488]

this is by far the best beginning tutorial I've come across great thank you

[@marksmith303]

Absolutely fantastic video - I literally purchased the Air 2S today and this has answered so many questions!

[@TheFbiFilesRepeat]

You happy?

[@BruiserFL]

Ditto...

[@bcar1ify]

Ordered mine today. Can’t wait

[@jeffmiller259]

Just got mine yesterday and setting it up, very excited

[@ianholmes2420]

I would like to thank you very much for his video and all the videos you produce and upload to KZbin. I’m a retired college professor who taught technology intensive applications and production for film and video filmmaking. You do an exceptional job of communicating software and hardware operations. I appreciate your detailed yet succinct instruction providing both information and hands-on tutorials. Please keep up the great work and know that you are helping thousands of us out here learning to be better UAV pilots and aerial photographer/filmmakers.

[@m118lr]

...totally agree. Cannot think of ANY worthwhile critiquing..just a super job!

[@npc2255]

I appreciate this a lot. Beginner friendly tutorial. Taking notes from you sir. Will be flying my Air 2S real soon.

[@capgray7719]

After my recent purchase of the DJI Air 2S, and being a new drone flyer, I was desperate for a good introductory tutorial. This video fulfilled the task meant for educating new and more experienced pilots on the Air 2S. In 27 minutes Sean did a great job of getting me off the ground. I look forward to more excellent instruction.

[@joesingh2559]

Fantastic video for beginners. Thank you!

[@AirPhotography]

Thank you

Why would any one dislike this video? Great video!!!

Finally someone that has Very Good instructions, I just received my drone & it's been a headache trying to find someone with instructions on how to set up this Drone.Thank You.

[@stevenojobs7492]

It’s crazy that I got the Air 2S as my first drone. But good thing we now have access to videos like this. Very helpful!

Same 😁

[@spicer3595]

Just what I needed! Getting more confident with my Air 2S now. Thank you!

[@SinCityFamily.]

Hey buddy, can u please explain the led lights to me. In my air 2s the front leads r flashing green and the rear LEDs r flashing red with a full battery. Is that normal or is something wrong?? Should the LEDs be flash green in the front and back?? Thank u for your time!!

[@harjapaulakh4424]

@@SinCityFamily. yeah it’s normal, don’t worry!

[@rexharris7715]

TWO THINGS TO ADD: 1) If you change out the control cable from remote to phone, there appears to be a polarity where the end of cable labeled with the 'remote sticks' is the one to plug into left side facing the top of remote. 2) Also the 'DJI dance' to calibrate compass would have been good to do on the 1st flight. Very good and concise video, thank you!

[@supremeautomotive6749]

Why you don't think the factory calibration is perfect

[@TorontoTowing]

I just bought this model Tuesday, got license Wednesday, now I’ll be ready when the drone comes Friday. Thank you

[@michaelpoczynek]

Thank you. That was very helpful. I just received a new Air 2S today and looking forward to its use.

[@rexkantatan2380]

My Air 2S will arrive tomorrow! Thank you for your tutoring video!

[@vidmaster7]

Excellent tutorial. Very professional with no music playing during the teaching. Thank you. Mine arrives Wednesday.

[@MrJayharr58]

I wish I saw this video first!!! I bought a new DJI air 2s with smart controller yesterday and found a different Chanel first. Terrible, it was shot as you already knew everything. I liked how you went over everything, I learned what all the parts were, even how to turn the machine on! No one tells you about the double press. I tried turning it on to no avail until I saw your video. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos and help people out.

[@Official_JC_Torres]

This was great I just got mine 2 days ago and a lot of People just want to take it out and start flying but I was more concerned with rules regulations and understanding it before taking it up in the sky. Thanks to this video I feel very confident to take it up later today for its first flight. Great video

[@Buck_Shots]

Great begginers video. Perfect pace for the info that you are providing. Looking forward to your other vids.

[@AirPhotography]

Awesome, thank you!

[@refugefilms]

Having been an instructor of sophisticated software for university level students I can't praise your teaching style enough. Succinct delivery of info, pacing (no time to get distracted) and no cheesy music!! I learned so much in a very short time. I'm new to drones but you have removed the edge. My DJI Air 2S will arrive soon and I will be watching much more of your content. My only question: is this drone software (info) able to offer choices in imperial as opposed to metric. It would be hard to convert in my head. Thank you!!

[@Profortnitegamerboyhehe]

yes

[@WW5RM]

Yes and I'm sure by now amazed at the features in the DJI FLY app! I was blown away just by the app alone on my Mavic Mini! The Mini2 even more and the Mavic Air2 adds even more. What really impressed me was the AIS I think it's called. A aircraft receiver. Detects Manned Aircraft. Picks up their beacon and gives you a voice warning along with a banner on the screen. Just click on the map and it zooms out to show the aircrafts position and direction of travel! So how you like it?

Hint: Before you follow the set-up procedures shown here, make sure the controller and battery(s) are fully charged. Both seem to take considerable time, at least initially. Great video, thanks.

[@duanescarpetcleaningutah8999]

Just ordered this drone and enjoyed your video greatly. It should help me get started and have fun in this fun activity.

Hi mate this would have to be the best and most helpful video for new drone owners i have seen thank you Terry in Australia

Brilliant no complicated talking just straight to the point and people understand👌

[@rubengordillo3223]

Thanks. This is the best BTG ever to DJI Air 2S. This tutorial helps me get my 2S into fly with confidence. Thanks a lot.

[@scoot77777]

Very nice! Perfect for the Beginner! As a GA Pilot it’s important to do as much training as you can before that first Flt. I found your video extremely helpful setting up this new Drone especially the software updates very nice 👍🏻 I really like the fact that the software provides information on where the Drone is Able to fly. I used to worry about drone Strikes in the early days of Drones when Flying my Cessna. As a Pilot it was easy to get my Drone license. I hope that all new drone pilots watch your video 👍🏻🇺🇸✅✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️ Very nice work! 👍🏻✅👍🏻✅👍🏻✅👍🏻✅👍🏻✅👍🏻✅✈️✈️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@frankm5222]

I ordered my Air 2S last evening and have been pouring over the online information. I really was impressed by this video. Extremely helpful. I am going to watch it several more times because there is so much useful information offered. Congratulations on a great video!

Thank you so much! Everything was well-explained. And I took mine out for my first flight a couple of hours ago. Great time! Droning is a lot of fun.

[@Atlas6355_]

I’m planning to buy one! Do you always have to keep the remote control in your hands? I want to get shots while at the beach and I want them to look natural. Don’t want to appear looking at the control etc

After a full day of going around in circles unsuccessfully following online instructions to make the drone link with the controller, I finally happened on your above video only to find we were using the wrong phone cable. This isn't mentioned anywhere else. Replaced with the correct (Android) cable and voila! Finally got the pairing done Brilliantly clear step-by-step instructions. Thank you for the trouble you go to providing your guide/s. Subscribing!

[@aawendt]

You're a stud man, really appreciate you taking the time to do this 😊

I want to thank you very much for this video. I’ve had a DJI trunk before one of the phantom models. And I recently last year purchased DGI mini. Tomorrow I will be receiving a DGI mini 2S.
