[@NCSUME1]

Wow, i've watched a few of your videos and never realized you were right down the street! Greetings from Raleigh! I also liked your intro to VSDC. unfortunately, my version really has a hard time processing large 4K video files.

[@searles400]

Do you have a link to the bag? I ordered the fly more combo. Is the dji bag good?

[@josefranco8795]

Is there a setting for Inverted mode to use on the left stick?

[@gustavopaulette3496]

No thanks. I can buy on my own. No need to support you

[@EdRickerVlogs]

@@gustavopaulette3496 oh yeah, because I make free instructional content purely out of the kindness of my heart. Perfectly reasonable.

[@ruraldiscoveries1267]

Your review is very comprehensive. I stumbled on it in 2021 and i had to scroll through my history to get it again in 2023. Thanks.

[@centercity8369]

Best tutorial on first flight that I’ve seen

[@brennerheavy]

Very, very clear, with no extra/unnecessary conversation. Great job!

[@doubleb6967]

Just a quick thank you for your videos. I purchased my first drone (Mavic Pro) several years back and your tutorial was fantastic. Especially the lady walking her dog through your shoot. So glad you left that in, along with your "look".

[@BMacksAerialVisuals]

Glad I waited and watched all the way to the end. Didn't know a tap on the RTH button would pause the drone. Old dog/new trick. Thanks, ER.

[@vinnyguinny4604]

I got the Mavic Air 2 as a Christmas gift and can't wait to start flying it. This tutorial helped greatly and I'll probably watch it once more before I begin to fly. Thank you.

[@assaeffie]

really enjoyed watching this simple yet straightforward video. i was able to setup quickly thanks to you

[@rushipatel2647]

Thanks for the video Ed! Your tutorial helped me make up my video of ordering the Mavic Air 2. Just waiting for it to arrive in a few days. I chose the combo package. I will be watching your video again before I take to the sky. Greatly appreciated!!!

[@nwcic]

Great TUTs. I really appreciate it. Getting back to drone flight since the 1st Gen Mavic, and your ste by step is just what the Dr. ordered. Thank you very much Ed.

[@glennberthiaumesr2949]

Hi Ed!!! Thank you for your time and effort in putting this great video together... Much needed.... I went for the combo unit right away... I already knew the extra batteries and stuff would add up and would be needed anyway... As I browsed KZbin for info yours was the best and most thorough.... Thank you again... your efforts were well done and much appreciated...

[@simonblackburn8741]

Best set-up video so far, well done!

[@tonymarrazzo354]

Best setup vid I have seen, thank you! My Mavic arrives Tuesday and I can't wait to give it a go!

[@panhandletrains]

Thanks for the great tutorial-I’ve had to watch it more than once since I’m still learning with my first drone.

[@spacecowboy98]

Nice! This is right up there with your story of the lake. FPV goggles is a trip! Thanks for putting this up really enjoyed the ride.

[@cc8705]

Excellent beginner tutorial, best I've seen thus far too. Thank you!

[@scrippslarry]

What an excellent walk through - much appreciated! Incredibly impressed by how thorough and well thought out your presentation is! Great job!

[@EdRickerVlogs]

Glad it was helpful!

[@gooberminther3tik25]

Some have the means and others fall flat. Youve got it going 100%. Thanks!

[@optimusprime3413]

I had to buy this drone a week before I had to deploy to South Africa. Now that I'm settled in, I have some time for myself. I am so happy to come across your channel. The other ones breeze through what they call the "beginners'" set up however, they are talking to themselves and not to beginner audience. I had hard time following them. Your video is very easy to follow with less technical jargon and focused to me as beginner like your title said. You and your family are more than welcome to come to SA and have free lodging, transportation and food on me 😂 to get around and explore this part of the world via great footages as well. By the way, where I am at is very drone friendly having less to nothing drone flying restrictions. Thank you and all the best.

[@ruudjanssens8984]

I don't have a drone (yet) but the way you tell how it works, it looks so easy. Gotta get one myself! Thanks for the instructions

[@scottellingboe8472]

Thank you. One of the best intro vids I've seen.

[@mikefendel]

Very well done Ed. My Macic Air 2 will be here tomorrow and this was an excellent preview of what to expect. Thanks!

[@samueljo1906]

Very good, excellent first time flying instruction. Clear and concise, thank you

[@Bill14886]

Great job Ed, My son will be getting a Mavic Air 2 soon. I'm sure this video will serve him well like your Mavic Pro video did for me 4 years ago. See ya around on the other channels and chats. Again thanks for all your help.

[@soulssong2u]

I know this is over a year old but it will still be very useful when my Air2 gets here. Thanks for doing this!

[@ic5838]

Ed you have one of the best instructional videos on the Mavic Air 2. I brought one recently and it meets my temporary expectations as I venture into upgrading later depending on my business use. Thank you very much for your time and wonderful layout of your Yourtube site.

[@ltdelucia]

Outstanding, clear and comprehensive job! Thanks so much for the great video. Really helped!

[@74Greenwood]

Hey!!!!! I’m in near by Goldsboro & I just ordered one!!!!! I can’t wait to receive mines!!!! Keep. The reviews & locations coming!!!!!

[@DroneUpp]

Thanks Ed! Very thorough tutorial for this drone! Mine will arrive in about 5 days and I want to be familiar with it. I appreciate you sharing this!!

[@kenzodrow9604]

once mine gets here (christmas) ill be watching this video over and over thanks

[@handoromper7987]

Incredible video tutorial 👍🏻 You explained every detail yet if wasn’t boring. Fantastic mate I’m going to buy one now with confidence.

[@falconrks99]

This was the best beginner video I have seen. Very informative. Thanks.

[@igrateful8131]

Great Vid man. More power to your channel 👏👏👏

[@afguntv5211]

I just got my Mavic Air 2, and this tutorial was perfect as a first time drone user. Thank you!

[@christinenie4705]

Such a great tutorial for total beginners!

[@edadan]

Great tutorial. I just got my Mavic Air 2 today but haven’t tried to fly it yet. This video really helped. Thanks!

[@pallidinyou]

Same here.

[@HomeRanchSalesMiltonDailey]

Best job describing the Air 2 that I have seen, Thanks

[@john-kp2uv]

Ed, You always do an informative and educational video on Drones. Thank you

[@trinan5308]

Awesome and super detailed video man! Much appreciated!!

[@williamconfer9802]

Your an excellent teacher....thank you for your time!

[@stefanpetersen9249]

Great tutorial Rick . Greetings from Thailand

[@Dave-us6yu]

Absolute best explanation of this drone I have seen!! TY

[@fxprocc]

best walkthrough on these drones and the controls on youtube. thank you sir.

[@python1742]

Great Video, Just got my air 2 so there's nothing like watching someone who has done it before and is sharing basically the beginning of the journey of droning. I like your style, your not boring, meaning it's like your talking to me and not advertising for dji. Good job enjoyed every minute. And to boot I learned a lot which turns into confidence. Because for me this is my first drone, and to be honest I have somewhat some confidence if I do say so myself. You have to have the hand eye co-ordination or maybe you should find another hobby. Anyway looking forward to learning more about the quickshots and filming in general. Looking forward to the great photography and videos that can be made.

[@paulg3429]

Detailed and well presented tutorial. Thank you.

[@scotchilders8165]

Thanks so much for this tutorial. I’ve watched several and by far, yours was the most informative.

[@fredwilson8890]

What if all your blades have white circles

[@ladyfans8062]

This was amazing and very detailed. Thank you!

[@rando6323]

Ed, Thanks for the video on the basics for Mavic Air 2. I have purchased the Mavic Air 2 and this helps me understand the things to do when I start flying. I have flown a few times and it is a easy drone to fly, but it’s always good to know the basics anyway just in case I missed something.

[@EdRickerVlogs]

Glad it was helpful!

[@ashsingh9339]

This is a very well put together tutorial. Thank you kindly.

[@FirstUPdaGREAT]

Thanks for the professional video! Helps so much and you explained it very nicely.

[@ImageryMemberDotCom]

Thank you for taking the time to make this informative video.

[@FLRCQUAD]

Great Video Ed, super for newbies getting into the drone world I have several and also have two Mavic 2 airs find myself flying them more than my other drones super reliable- precise -and just fun to fly really like them Thanks again

[@695look]

I just ordered a Magic Air 2 this tutorial is very helpful. Thank you

[@tonyrobinson362]

Thankyou so much from across the pond, I've got my eye on buying this at moment your info was fabulous thanks again.

[@bamaintherockies8641]

Thanks Ed! Very well done tutorial for a new Mavic Air 2 owner such as myself.

[@bamaintherockies8641]

Thanks did I truly win a drone?

[@bradleyclark1566]

Very useful information given in a careful, clear way. Thanks!

[@ricobrewer4949]

Awesome Video I'm really thinking about buying one in the next couple of months just the video I was looking for thank you

[@barryoppen1240]

I realize this is an older video for an older drone. I bought a used DJI Air 2 drone (and I recently seld my DJI Mini 2 drone, which I barely used). I just wanted to familiarize myself with the Air 2 since it is "new to me", & I am fairly new to the "drone world". I have seen other DJI drone videos on KZbin for other DJI drones, including reviews. I must say, your video is TOP NOTCH!!! It is VERY precise & you covered tips & suggestions I have seen NO WHERE else, especially while the drone is in the air. WOW...great job!!! I bookmarked this video, and I wish & hope other "set-up" / tutorial videos are this concise, so the viewer knows what EVERYTHING means or does. I liked this video & you certainly have me as a subscriber. Thanx!

[@EdRickerVlogs]

That's great, thank you very much! Hope it continues to help you in the future.

[@ukurjalan2455]

I waiting this video from you. Thank you Ed

[@waynegreene6405]

Beaut video mate, Getting my Air 2 tomorrow, thank you.

[@slyfox720]

Great video..I am super excited, I just purchased mine and charging the batteries, I purchased the refresh deal, and drone registered with the FAA...now just waiting for the batteries to charge so I can do my first flight!!

[@michaeloconnell4529]

Great video! Really helped me out as a first-time drone flyer.

[@EricRoseBahamas]

Thanks so much for these videos. They are truly useful and appreciated. Waving from in The Bahamas :)

[@michaelduncan6769]

Thank you for this video! I was able to use it to get set up with my drone! Appreciate it

[@Airbornofnorway]

[@bownsaway]

[@billybobnotroth8321]

Great Job Ed! As a retired Learning Leader, The content was organized, informative and your presentation was great. you didn't drag it out with unnecessary info and the pace was spot on. The best tutorial I've seen yet

[@lrmathena09]

Of all the video's I have watched this is the best one.

[@ecrozz463]

Great video very comprehensive. Great style , good lighting , tons of information for me. Thanks.

[@Bill14886]

Ed good to see you are still making excellent videos for beginners and even those that like to touch up on there skills ,or have questions on there new Drone. Anyway. I'm looking forward to purchasing a Mavic Air 2 soon. Time to pass my Old Mavic Pro down to my son soon and move up to more advanced features. P S my old MP is now on its second set of 4 new batteries. I'm sure my Son will get a few good years out of that Drone, especially with a new set of batteries. I'll be sure to send him to your Mavic Pro video you posted years ago. I hope he learns to fly as well as I did with your guidance. 👍

[@gooberminther3tik25]

Bravo! GREAT video. Absolutely!

[@franciswright3149]

G'Day Sir - I enjoyed your video. It looked like to me you were flying from Dorthey Dix Park. I live in Garner and have flown there once myself but I found a lot more [people there than you seemed to have. I enjoyed your video and found it informative. I own a Mavic Platinum Pro but just purchased the Air 2 for my self for Christmas. My health has been poor so I have not flown it yet but I am looking forward to doing so. I subscribed, thanks.

[@stevenstackpole9470]

I really enjoyed this video! Originally, I was going to buy an exo blackhawk 2 pro but now I am interested in this drone. I may get this with the fly more combo.

[@realbada55]

I love that the display goes on top and not at the bottom. Looks like a next Drone for me..

[@Devilsmed98]

Thanks Ed this was very helpful.
