[@peterkaltoft8032]

71 years young, and congrats, hope you're enjoying it 🙂

[@albertoahow5819]

I am 82 and planning to get one

[@dannygallivan5200]

nice

Good luck with it

[@dannygallivan5200]

@WESYM watch and like my recent vid plz

[@carsonmtech]

I hope you all are staying healthy and safe out there! Hopefully, whether you're new to flying drones or not, this helps to fill a void in your likely empty time now that everyone is locked in pretty much! A question I have for you to answer: What drone are you currently flying and for how long?

[@WestonNey]

I have flown the Phantom 3 Standard and Phantom 4 over the last 4 years. Now I fly the mavic air. Your p3s videos helped me so much when I was first starting out!

[@RoccoGermani]

Autel Evo, flying it since June 2019. Before that I had been flying a Spark since December 2018.

[@DanJSwartz]

New pilot here. Mavic Mini first drone!

[@jrocjroc9602]

What is that over the home indication

[@jrocjroc9602]

Just got my mavic mini the over day.

[@hovis1954]

Great video, very clear and informative. Thanks. Me, I'm just a youthful 66 years, took my drone out the other day after a few weeks of poor weather and struggled with some basic control operations so I watched this and now back up to speed. Keep up the good work.

Clear information shared. Good video. Cool. Thank you. Now I have more confident to fly my DJI Mavic Mini when my drone arrived next week.

[@lindamessick9853]

When I first started flying (not long ago) I had a little trouble remembering which action the 2 controller sticks did in mode 2 Now I use this saying. The one on the left is UP, DOWN AND SPIN AROUND. The right is the 4 DIRECTIONS. Up, back and side to side. But the up UP DOWN AND SPIN AROUND helps me to keep it right in my head.

[@Carolina-222]

Im new to videos and just got a mini. wow one of the best beginner videos ive seen so far. Love how you explain step by step...all tech options and how to access them and even the minor details that i didnt even knew i would care about. new fan to this channel

[@carsonmtech]

Thank you so much! I’m glad you found this helpful, I have a playlist of my Mavic Mini videos, you may find that helpful as well!

[@geezerpleasers_OG]

Re: pointing the camera upward. It's not just for looking up at the sky. For commercial pilots, it can be used for inspections where you fly underneath something. For landscape photographers, it can get you some great shots looking upward or gradually panning upward with the gimbal control, looking at a mountain, cliff, or other large formation. Try it out and you'll find it can really add to your scenic photography and videography.

[@Kahwaihae]

Thanks! Mini arrived today and after charging, updates and your video I am flying!

[@TheLittleMinion]

Needed this tutorial so badly. It’s so simple but I was confused. Thank you so much!

[@carsonmtech]

Glad to help!!

[@madushkaperera3489]

Just now got my Mini. Thank you soo much for this. Much love from Australia

[@arpit546]

do u have to get flying permissions in Australia for mini

[@madushkaperera3489]

@@arpit546 Yes, but in restricted areas only. You can easily get it by apply through online. All you gotta do is visit dji website and upload your SN of the drone and flying details such as diameter, expecting flying hight etc in that certain area.

[@skiphorni]

72 yo and getting mine in a couple of weeks. Looking forward to it.

[@hongcai4617]

This video is much much better than another one that had higher thumbs up, a good explanation, and very experimental examples, hope you get more subs and views

[@rickcowan4664]

Thanks, Carson, for this informative and well-made intro to the Mini's controller. Somehow you manage to address all the significant points without overwhelming or boring the viewer. I'd say you have a bright future in TV/video!

[@sbc2954]

Instructions unclear: Mavic mini shot down in area 51

[@brucearthur5330]

One thing that nobody ever seems to tell you in these videos: you can use the controller without your phone connected

[@johncrosley1]

Tried this myself indoors but without the app running to keep initial height at 1.2m it went straight into the ceiling so be careful.

[@Barnacle392]

Got my mini on Sunday and charged up the batteries and the controller on Sunday night. Monday night I was pairing in my office and the blades started spinning. Grabbed the drone and cut my hands on the props. Both hands. Learned lesson 1. Will try and get out tomorrow for first flight. Thanks for the beginner's video. 73 years old here.

[@IrishStryder]

Quick tapping the return to home button works as pause

[@kufreebong2677]

This is probably the best review of this drone that I have seen. I had reservations about this drone because It has no obstacle avoidance. This review has given we a second opinion

[@renaldopoitier9630]

In all of your videos you do it step by step and that will take you a long way. My eyes are on a DJI mini!. I have to get one of these.

[@officialcisko]

Great video. I should’ve watched completely before flying because I started to panic when I was ready to land. Lol. Took a chance holding the joystick down and glad it lands itself.

[@kezzakkc]

Enjoying watching your videos while I wait for my Mavic Mini to arrive! I'm confident that the 'first time flyer' video will give me a head start :)

[@Nisshio]

Simple yet informative! Thanks for the great video!

[@carsonmtech]

I appreciate it! I’m glad you found it informative; my goal!

[@TechyHrik]

My Mavic mini will arrive in just 3 days I'm very excited 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@DoobieLGBT96]

Thanks for the video bro I'm 26 and I've had this drone for about a year and you still taught me some things soo Thanks 😊. I also didn't know that was a rth button on the controller. I never use the buttons on the controller I usually just you my phone. So now I know something new Thanks to you!! 😁😋

[@vincyyutejuvi7370]

Ordered one of these today as my 1st drone.....now just waiting for it to arrive...thanks for the reviews...will check back when I get it

[@mrreddington777]

Jeez this video is amazing. I subbed. My mini is coming today and I'm so excited.

[@carsonmtech]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it. Congrats on the new Mavic Mini...fly safe!

[@Soratui]

I got mine yesterday and have been watching guide from many people but not yet know how to move camera direction 😂Yours help a lot ! Thank you so much 😇

[@carsonmtech]

You’re welcome!!

[@vagatronics]

Mode 3 is the easiest, I don't know how people fly in Mode 2 and I haven't even gotten my Mavic Mini yet! I'm getting mine in a few days I'm so excited!

[@TCJAZZ-MUSIC]

Thanks for posting and great video - I'm a total novice and new at this and just got the drone today - the maiden voyage went alright, but I need a lot of practice. Certainly understanding the controllers and your video made it easier and with practice I'll be able to master this little gem ....

[@dataventurer9998]

I passed my Part 107 test last Tuesday, opened my mini combo today for the first time to charge it up. Watched a few videos for beginners. Yours is the best! Thank you! I will check out your other videos.

[@gantttorres784]

Just ordered my mini and been researching while waiting for it to get here. Very good video!!

[@Blace5]

Just got my mavic mini today... thank you for making this vid ill be watching this step by step with my drone... appreciate it Carson for the breakdown!

[@johnkayanas6755]

Great all-in-one video.... no need to watch any other after this!!!!!!! Explaining useful stuff, fast, in a simple matter, up to the point and without wasting any time.... 100%!!!!

[@copperdan7667]

Ohh did I mess up today. I got my new Mavic Mini a month ago. Been logging some flights and learning what I can do. Tonight as the sun was setting I was flying over my lake. I was making really low passes. The video looked awesome. At about 2 feet off the surface I accidentally pulled back on the controller thinking I would climb.. My airplane days.. It went into landing mode. My poor drone is gone in the drink. Our boat is not I'm it's slip yet. I felt sick.. I ordered a new drone tonight. Shhhh, don't tell my wife.

[@RinaldoZirrah]

I just bought my Mini and I had some doubts. Your video was very well explained and tomorrow I will test the drone! Thanks! Greetings from Portugal! :D

[@KingCommander1000]

Just got mine today...all charged up, updated, and ready to go...I have to wait until tomorrow to fly! Thanks for the great video I feel like I'm ready to go now! 😁

[@ayanalikhan7043]

price how much?

[@rupman27isback]

Thanks man! I loved this video. I'm getting my mavic mini on monday! Excited.

[@unicayo78]

Hello, Thank you. This was the best video i seen that helped me fly my mini drone. So straight forward.

[@carsonmtech]

Thank you!

[@RebeccaKowalskyPhoto]

I just got my mini and I'm really excited to get up and running using your video. Thank you

[@michaelrozo3833]

Thank you very much, I am now sure about buying my drone. 😊🇨🇦

[@oxygen7955]

[@danfmx1]

Great video. Really appreciate your effort and patience to explain this

[@plussizebarbie9484]

[@bhoyetdelacruz1833]

[@fsetor1]

[@musamusa2961]

Thank God I will buy one for myself

[@watchingeye5435]

you did it very good, very simple to understand for beginners and giving ideas. Greetings from Indonesia FRANZ

[@mikes3436]

Thanks so much for your videos since I'm new at flying drones. Keep up the good work.

[@azzahomes1202]

Million like!! Wow Carson, I can't thank you enough for your so helpful video!! I'm totally a beginner using a drone for the first time, and came across your so helpful video! Thank you so much!

[@learnerseeker5838]

Got my mini today and ur video will be helpful for me. Thanks

[@pagarb]

Really good video, just got a Mavic mini and this video provided the best illustration on how to get started and make the most of the drone.

[@OysterSalad]

This is by far the best instruction for the Mavic Mini I've seen. Nice job!

[@alextabara9150]

I had a toy drone that was good for nothing, no resistance to wind, no camera quality and no signal after 25-30m, this drone is a massive change for me but I still panic as hell when I don t see it anymore. Great video man, thanks

[@rodimousa9503]

After 3 years mine is still working perfectly fine:)

[@netday4668]

I just bought this Mavic mini for my chanel And it is so worth it

[@yammylozza8134]

Thanks Carson, very informative. First time user of a drone in Australia.

[@MisplacedMotoVlogger]

Good video, there's too many videos out there that are just someone sitting at a desk explaining things. Very helpful to have kind of a hands on example of all the controls. Thank you.👍

[@LimitedSpectrum]

As a gamer, I was confused about how my drone was moving. I changed the joystick layout immediately!

[@PleinAirAdventureswithTezDower]

Very in depth, Thx Mate 🙏

[@carsonmtech]

No problem!

[@cvx2dog549]

Thanks for the very informative video. You will be giving me my first lesson tomorrow.

[@crlguitar1]

Tempted to buy a 'Mini' yesterday as they were available at my local 'Costco'. Held back though, 'cuz I wanted to research whether it'll be worth the investment. Your demonstration was very good, and I may soon be picking one of these little gems up. Thanks for posting your video!

[@carsonmtech]

No problem, good luck in your drone search endeavors :)

[@xtrafizzy4485]

very good explanation, I spent quite a lot of time searching for a video like this until I came across this channel. well done, very helpful and keep up the good work!

[@valiodinsson5047]

I was today years old when I learned that you could stow the thumbsticks (also learned I was given a spare set of thumbsticks with the Fly More Combo), and that you could stow the wire inside the l;eft controller handle. Thanks!

[@chillfactorhaunt]

Just purchased this drone for my first Short Horror Film for my haunted attraction. Headed to our first shot location in a few days. After a few incredible test flights, Im so super excited to begin filming great aerial shots for our film. Thanks for the tips!

[@aleksa3981]

just ordered mine couple days ago cannot wait to get it.

[@hattrickpsh]

Just wanted to say thank you for the informative video. As a newbie to drones this was a great stuff and easy to follow.

[@thehunter3386]

Waiting for my Mavic Mini to arrive. (2 more days)... Thanks for your video! It’s something I’ll review after I get the box open and all parts assembled.😄🇺🇸🇮🇹

[@Axixan]

Yes am getting this for my birthday 😊

[@umerasad]

How old r u

[@sp00nz64]

Thx for a easy introduction. I feel no worries now to buy mini!

[@daybydiaz3859]

Thanks for the vid 👍 i get mine today

[@YarmouthMark]

Thank you for this. Just got my drone licence here in the UK and trying to figure out which DJI to actually buy. I am a complete beginner with 0 fly time.

[@michaellim7002]

For beginner, then try DJI Mavic Mini which is cheaper price now. Specs: 2.7K resolution, distance 2.7 mile (4.0km), Height 400 feet. If you like higher resolution video (in 4K) and fly longer distance (10km), then get the latest model DJI Mavic Mini 2. Price difference is only about 30%-40%.

[@sensupradip]

Nicely described 👍👍👍

[@princeproductions970]

Thanks for the video, I do own other DKI drones but I just bought the Mini a couple of days ago and I haven’t turned it on yet. Thanks for letting me see it done right.

[@jennyzheng1780]

I love this magic mini

[@callumhughes9024]

Thanks Carson very helpful

[@carsonmtech]

No problem Callum!

[@michaelquatrano6189]

Just bought one at costco. I wish it had the multi battery charger and case. Other than that, no complaints. great tutorial.

[@carsonmtech]

That’d be the Fly More Combo you’re talking about. I’m quite certain that Costco sells the Fly More Combo! I know a lot of other vendors do as well, and because of Black Friday, are having significant deals right now! So, if you’re still within the return period for your regular Mavic Mini kit, you should be able to go out and snag a Fly More Combo with a full refund on the Mavic Mini!

[@timetraveller3160]

I say this is just a tipically good video!

[@harrybainjr7118]

Thanks your video was informative and well spoken!
