I’ve watched over 100 videos trying to find complete details on setting up Mavic Air and haven’t found one until I ran across this one thanks so much (subscribed)

[@robertallen231]

FlytPath is quality vids..

[@Dzynestyle]

That piece of tape thing is a game changer! Thanks for your help.

[@p52457]

I'm well over 70 and I don't have the confidence I once did, but I'm still going to try this drone, thanks in part to your video. I like the tape suggestion for the SD card. Also, I wasn't aware of the refresh program which I'll need for sure. Thanks, Aldryn.

[@robertl.4675]

I’m 68 and bought a DJI Spark a few months ago. It is so much fun... I’m now going to buy a Mavic Air because the camera quality is better and it has a longer battery fly time. So, all I can say is... go for it!

[@kevincarter2464]

PUTTING THE TAPE ON THE sd cARD IS A GREAT IDEA i would never of come up with that one ty again for your helping videos

[@jalexandr55]

I'm only 50% through this video, and I tend to be very critical of a lot of KZbin videos. This tutorial is OUTSTANDING! As a brand new Drone owner, FlyPath has addressed issues that I had concerns about. I really like that you have a measured pace, yet gets to the point without unneeded embellishment. I will follow up, once done watching. Thank you sir, your efforts at making this video, has helped me more than... Many, I have watched prior to this. Please, keep up the outstanding work you are doing. I will Like and Subscribe.

[@FlytPath]

J Alexandr wow that means a lot 👊🏼 love hearing how much these videos have helped new flyers.

[@jalexandr55]

So, after watching the rest of the Video. This possibly the best "how to' ( tech ) Video I have watched. I am surely, somewhat .. 'partial' to this, as I know nothing about the subject matter. Thank you, you do an outstanding job!

[@vaibo_lambo]

Thanks! Very simple and straightforward!

[@erictiffanyRN]

Thank you for the tape trick! Small but mighty maneuver.

[@whitehorseentertainment6019]

I’ve been a professional drone pilot for several years. But I just bought a Mavic Air to add to my arsenal. Great vid! Very informative! Thanks!

[@droneaerialexpediters8313]

Another super clear vid on how to hook up your Dji Mavic Air!!! All is good for me mate just got done updating all of the Firmware ones you link your controller to the Aircraft.. 1st flight went absolutely perfecto!

[@FlytPath]

Comments like that make it all worth it.

[@iDJExplicit]

Thanx got one today and wanna learn as much as o can before I open the box lol

[@2foster4]

The screen walk through of the DJI app was great. A fast wifi conection is critical for updates. 50 mbps or more is best. I enjoy your to the point style.

[@FlytPath]

Thanks for watching

[@techndrones8801]

I am very grateful full for this video. Thanks man!

[@adrianchew8775]

Just got my Mavic Air yesterday, thank you for this video! It really helps.

[@FlytPath]

Np thanks for watching.

[@mityajamail5246]

I’m going to do the tape thing for sure I just bought a Mavic air and I haven’t even used it yet but I’ve bought everything under the sun for The hell if I’m going to hard time getting that thing out. Great idea man thanks

[@FlytPath]

Np thanks

[@Jack-ne8vm]

Thanks. My Mavic Air gets toasty when downloading. Also, my USB cable went bad.. replaced it; now works good.

[@claudiabarfi1586]

Love you videos it was very helpful for my new drone I bought

[@andrewmack4830]

Very informative video. The tape on the SD card is a great idea - thanks. I very much liked the text at the bottom of the screen - helped a lot to reinforce what you were saying. Excellent video. Thank you

[@FlytPath]

🙌🙌🙌

[@killastrong]

Thanks so much. I am a first time drone owner. Just bought mine last weekend. This was a great setup vid for me. I really appreciate the tape tip. I ran across a Flossy Carter vid and was referred her. Thanks again.

[@FlytPath]

Awesome!!! Glad it helped and shout out to Flossy.

[@lsfrench487]

Just got my Mavic, better late than never! Some blogs say Calibrate, do I have to or not? Saved your video it’s a great help.

[@FlytPath]

I calibrate when I first get it. Then whenever the app tell you too

[@vcmovie1]

Very useful this video !! Today I bought the Mavic Air and immediately a few good tips from you. 😁😁

[@mrcasavechia]

Great video, very to the point and informative. KZbin is a sea of crappy how to videos and reviews, glad to have found this, it was big help.

[@SeeChelleFilm]

What an excellent video!! Straightforward explanations with how to update and some neat little tips and tricks too, thanks so much!!

[@hcopter51]

Getting a Mavic Air soon and your videos are very well done and will make it much easier to fly the drone and learn all about it...Thanks and keep up the good work !!

[@MrFucdatbit2]

[@IScreamer]

I use a pair of tweezers to handle the small SD card - carry them in my bag with everything else.

[@charlesdalton8961]

Excellent presentation. Thank you

[@angelshterev5959]

The tip with the tape on the SD card is priceless

[@southerncharmphotography4927]

Absolutely what I need to get started. Thank you for the tape on the Micro SD chip too

[@FlytPath]

Np thanks for watching

[@johnandersonvideos]

This was the perfect video for me. I'm getting my Mavic Air tonight and will be setting it up. Most helpful, especially tips on setting up where videos are recorded. Also glad to hear the remote can accommodate my iPhone 6 with cover. Thanks!

[@Rondawwg]

Very helpful vid. Didn’t know the remote can hold phone with thin case.... thanks!

[@dekuanstudios8457]

Great video. It answered quite a lot of questions that I had. Very much appreciated.

[@NitemareTrainer]

Very good video. I am a newbie and my Mavic Air is being delivered on 7-16.

[@Xploit66]

How do you like it?

[@fredericoferreiracavalcant7675]

Really good for beginners! Great video! Thanks Great video Appreciate That.

[@DennisLovelady]

Great job. Loved the scotch tape hack. O simpld, big i never thought of it. Extra credit for that one. 😀😀

[@FlytPath]

Thanks for watching

[@billyoldham8894]

thanks for video very helpful

[@jamesr.9239]

I was carrying tweezers with me to extract te card but I find that if you push to release then use an index finger nail from the bottom of the lip of the card, it will come out.

[@josephhiggins7871]

Found your video very helpful as i am thinking of buying one and do also use a Mac I have watched lots of videos on this drone as well as the pro model but have found them very confusing so thanks again keep up your good work.

[@alanjrobertson]

Nice video and sensible tip re MicroSD Sellotape tab :) Looks like USB3 so hopefully don't need to take it out that much to download footage.

[@skyphotography4918]

A very informative video thank you so much for sharing.

[@worldiver]

GR8 professional video, thank you very much! Also, the tip with the tape on MicroSD card is very clever idea :-)

[@daniboi1057]

This was very useful Thanks

[@AdventuresThings]

Great video. Something so simple yet so genius with the tape on the sd. Subbed

[@peteinozi]

Great video , well done !

[@PatrickMichael2002]

Just received my DJI Mavic Air. Thanks for the tip on the SD card. I agree, it can be difficult to remove. And, I don't always want to connect the drone to my computer via USB. Quick question: What screen recorder are you using to capture the controller footage on you phone?

[@FlytPath]

Screen record built into iOS

[@tiagomatos1484]

Great video buddy, very informative. Thanks a lot

[@GogglesTyresandTrainers]

Great tip about the sd card, thanks for the run through :)

[@patrickwee7978]

Is there a recommended list of tutorial videos for a complete newbie who has never even flown a toy drone before to learn all about he Mavic Air?

[@alfboy]

Great! Thank you for the tips. Very helpful.

[@HiHai]

Very nice video.

[@bolllochead]

Great video. First time I took mine out I ran out of internal memory and couldn't find how to switch to the 64GB SD card I had inserted. The tape is a great idea to get the card out. It is fiddly but I manage OK with my thumb nail. Thanks again for the tips.

[@FlytPath]

Glad it helped

[@MrMarantzman]

Fantastic video well done, When I get my "Mavic Air" ill be watching this video again...

[@vejonis]

[@jessealvarenga8805]

Hi fly path really like your videos keep them coming. Trying to decide which drone to get I’m between the air and mavic pro original. Both are selling now for a similar price. Which would you go for and why"

[@FlytPath]

Jesse Alvarenga Pro for sure. Watch my top 5 drones video.

[@adgreen1972]

Thanks - very helpful!

[@shawnocchipinti8832]

Is there a way to save the pictures and video to your device without it going to the app or to the SD card? Thanks in advance

[@RichMantaray]
