Whoa. This is literally the best how-to video of any kind that I can ever remember watching on KZbin. Just got a DJI Mavic Air 2 for Christmas, which is awesome but comes with essentially zero documentation out of the box. It points you at online docs, which are all slow-moving corporate sanitized docs and I’ll be here until next week reading those. Using those, took me several minutes just to find out how to charge the battery. This video jumps right into EVERYTHING you need to know, beautifully and efficiently edited, with no fluff. So much work went into this video. Dude, you are awesome. I just subscribed. Your generosity in sharing comprehensive info in an efficient and professional way is so appreciated. You made my day.

[@ryantalbot2588]

First-time drone flyer here. Thank you so much for going into this much detail. It's the best how-to video I have seen and I watched a bunch.

[@PiersAkerman]

This is a must watch for anyone who buys a Mavic Air 2. A comprehensive and extraordinarily useful tutorial. So much to take in that you need to watch it, put into practice what you learned and then repeat. Watching this will take away many of the fears you might have when you launch your first flight.

[@mrbubblescarwash]

My best friend in the world has been flying drones for about 5-6 years, and he makes it look so, so easy. He is extremely gifted and can do anything. After years of 'thinking about it' I broke down and bought this drone... actually a birthday gift from my bride. Getting it unboxed and setup was so undaunting, I was tempted to put it back in my closet and just think about it. This video single handedly is the most informative, easy to understand, step by step guide I've watched... and I've watched a lot in the past three days. I can't wait for it to stop raining so I can GO FLY!

[@LordBransty]

My first ever drone is arriving tomorrow. It's a Mavic Air 2. Thank you so much for this video. Priceless! People like you make this world a better place man! Thanks once again. Happy flying!

[@moahmedhashim9881]

LordBransty it’s been 3 months do u find any problems with the drone? I might buy it

[@LordBransty]

@@moahmedhashim9881 - Hi there Mohamed. I have to say, the drone has changed my life. For the better. I love to climb the mountains and shoot some footage on a nice day. Then add some music and upload to KZbin. I get lots of nice comments. I love it. No lying in bed at weekends any more for me. Great for my fitness and mental wellbeing. This was my first ever drone. First time I've even seen one. I needed a new phone though to fly it. My 4 year old phone wouldn't install the software. However, very easy to fly. Even for a first timer like me. As the weeks go by, your techniques get better and better. I ordered a high powered PC for editing. You can get them from Banggood for about 220 English Pounds. I also ordered another battery. Two is better than one, but not essential. I already had a huge 4k TV, so that wasn't a problem. The footage on a large 4K tv is breath-taking. I'm still learning. And still loving it. If you are thinking of getting one... Get it. I'm not exaggerating when I say it has changed my life. Hope that answers your question! :-)

[@ak2outside]

oh my. I finally pulled mine out of the box after owning it for over 4 years. It worked perfectly. Thank you for the detailed beginner's guide.

Jeven. I am a brand "Newbie", and I am 12 minutes into this video. I'm a 59 year old "Born again" biker after a fallow (bikeless) period of 40 years - and the last time I rode (until last year) was 27 years ago - until I was "Born again". I have paused the video to just say, this is one of the VERY best "Tekky" videos that I have literally EVER seen. Your manner, presentation skill , awareness (of your audience) and professionalism is seriously - simply outstanding. Ride/ fly on Brother. You have an English / Half Irish fan - living in Cairo 😁 - until I retire back home next month - and will THEN get my Air 2 to take out on one of the bikes I have now accumulated. Nice one Jeven. Superb mate 👍

[@caesarmode]

I got my first drone ever (mavic mini) and I started my drone "journey" with you! Thanks for that! Now, I purchased the Air 2 and I still feel that your advice on how to take maximum out of this drone it's a MUST! Please suggest what is the best setup /way to use the Air 2 in order to get amazing results for both, video/photos . Hopefully you gonna have the time to do this. 🤞

[@garyrankin1935]

I have a Phantom 2 and decided to upgrade. Generally I rather read a manual than watch a video. Yours is the first that makes it easier, I bookmarked it. Thank you!!

[@fivezeroniner]

30:55 THIS IS SO IMPORTANT. familiarizing the controls like how you familiarize driving a car. At first, you will have to think what control stick movement you have to make to move the drone.. you make mistakes like when you wanna move forward but you ascend the drone instead. The more mistakes I make, the more I realize that I should treat my drone like a car. practice until second nature, safety first and obey the rules.

Since buying my new Mini 1, I constantly refer back to your videos, keep them coming! If you are not near wi-fi and you need to update your drone, use the "hot spot" on you phone to make any updates. That is, if you have the iPhone, not sure about the others. I found this out by accident on my new mini 2.

[@mr88cet]

Excellent summary video! Thanks. Two things I noticed regarding the gimbal: First, there’s a very easy-to-miss piece of tape behind the gimbal; don’t forget to remove that one! Second, *don’t even power up the drone* , let alone fly it, without removing the gimbal guard. It does a power-on self-test that involves moving the gimbal, and the guard freezes the gimbal in place. Haven’t had a chance to fly my Zoom yet (work!), but I’ll get even this weekend!

This video has been very helpful. I bought this unit today. I have to say that some of my screens and settings were a little different from what this video shows. I take it that Mavic has had a couple software updates since this video was released. Tomorrow will be my first flight. Gonna practice takeoffs and landings, just like I used to do when I worked on my Private Pilot's License. I also discovered that I'm near a no-flight zone, airport, so I'm alerted every so often to aircraft flying by. I can open up that little map (lower left corner), and actually watch the aircraft (simulated). Very cool unit! Worth every penny!

[@Engineerboy100]

Amazing review, I had to watch this in 3 sessions because there is so much information and my brain kept getting information saturated, killer job man, I just go my firs drone for my birthday yesterday and I think I'm gonna have to watch parts of this 3 more times before I try to fly.

Just got a Mavic Air 2 after crashing my new Mini 2. (One 15min flight) So I'm heartbroken but determine to master this Mavic (out in the country this time). I was way too eager to fly without knowing the basics first. "Return to Home" was my downfall. It decided to return to home taking the quickest route (through a tree) I need to learn this feature by flying higher then just straight down. For me, I'm 67 years old and my mind isn't as sharp as it used to be. I'm also quite deaf so I had to use subtitles and you were going way to fast for me. I need to watch an old guy explain the basics. But I do agree 100% of flying in a completely open field in order to experience all the controls. Thank you!
