DJI Mini 3 The Ultimate Guide for Beginners - Getting Ready For First Flight

[@rexnorris8545]

I am 85 and just got my first drone the mini 3 . After watching your excellent tutorial I confidently went into the garden and had a very successful first flight. You are a gifted teacher thank you.

[@combatt339]

Hi I am looking into buying my First Drone. I have to say that this tutorial was excellent, and has given me more confidence about taking the plunge. Thank you

[@jojobinx]

I just got mine yesterday and I'm 58 so total respect to you! Couldn't understand the awful tutorial on the remote with the screen....lol and gladly found this. Good luck and let's hope we both enjoy our new adventure in retirement. 😂

[@roninr8199]

Since it has no obstacle sensors is it better to go with dji mini 4 pro or save huge money and get mini 3. I am really scared of crashing it 😂😂

[@Imbored3689]

@@roninr8199I like 3 cause it’s very easy to fly 😊

[@erik.nederstigt]

@@roninr8199 it has no sideways sensors. State it correctly, plz ;-)

[@colincookson1022]

One of the best tutorial videos on KZbin. Clear. Nicely paced. No stupid music.

[@AirPhotography]

Thank you very much. I’m glad you enjoyed it.

[@kerianhalcon3557]

Fully agree with the no stupid music, Why do people put up with that nonsense?

[@chiangmaicharlies]

Video tutorials don't come any better than this. Nothing showy, just clear and concise required information. Thanks so much.

[@omarpuentes4384]

Facts!

[@andreabyron21]

this is the best tutorial i’ve ever seen. i’d trust this man on anything. thanks

[@bengooch4306]

We bought my daughter a DJI Mini 3 for her birthday and this tutorial was instrumental in getting us up to speed on the drones features, updating, etc. Thank you for the very concise walkthrough of everything. This is one of the best KZbin walkthroughs I've seen for any product!

[@AirPhotography]

That’s awesome thank you very much

[@AndrettiGTO]

I’ve had my Mini3 Pro for over a year now. Only watched your video now and it’s by far the clearest, perfectly paced tutorial I’ve watched. Thank you so much for your efforts putting this together! 😊

[@MillaExplores]

Great tutorial! This was super clear and will come in handy as I'll take my Mini 3 for its first flight 🤩

[@AirPhotography]

Thank you I’m glad you enjoyed it

[@New-Age-Videography]

Milla, I’m just looking into this hobby and came across the DJI Mini 3. Still practicing on the much smaller toy drones. As a beginner, how comfortable are these to fly? They look so much more controllable/maneuverable than the smaller toy drones I’m practicing with. Can you give me an idea of what it was like with your first flight on the Mini 3? How the flying and maneuverability was when you first started? Thank you. Neil

[@Nick-bo6rz]

Can the mini 3 show the footage on that controller as it’s flying to gain better directional control over the drone? If not is there one you can recommend to me that can around 200-300$ Ty.

[@michaelumana9352]

Costco is having a sale on the Mini 3 bundle. After watching,I'm going to buy it tomorrow. Thanks for the tutorial and tips.

[@HughMessenger]

Thank you! I'm a drone noob, been wanting one for years, finally pulle the trigger on a Mini 3. I watched this video twice thru, the night before it arrived. It told me everything I needed to know to get up and running, stress free, and have a great first day. Perfect beginners guide, no fluff, just the essentials.

[@Maynards_so_blue]

How are you getting on?

[@erlelarge4700]

Just got my first drone and you're video makes it so much easier and you don't speak 300 words a minute, thank you

[@peterliljenberg]

One of the best tutorials I've ever seen - thank you so much for making my virgin drone flight easy, safe and fun!

[@LukeDavis-l9y]

Excellent tutorial 👍 I was feeling a bit nervous taking my DJI Mini 3 out for the first time. After watching this it has already given me some confidence. Well done

[@kalervohamalainen4369]

Very very good. Clear. No stupid "music".

[@davidstadille793]

Because of this high quality tutorial I have decided to purchase a Mini 3. Thank you for taking the time to make this. I'm going to use a Mini 3 to photo document the remains of an old bridge just outside of my home town of Salinas. We have 8,500 members on our local history page on FB and I think they will just love to see this.

[@AirPhotography]

That sounds like a great way to use this technology documenting historical sites in points of interest. I’m glad you enjoyed my video. It’s always great to hear.

[@dariushunt3827]

Awesome tutorial... Im off for my 1st flight now! Definitely more knowledgeable and confident thanks to this. Much appreciated

[@TerryMcGearyScotland]

Best of luck! That’ll be me in free days off the rain and wind give me a chance to get mine into the air.

[@Mrkc47]

That was such an excellent tutorial, at no time did i not understand or get bored, there was no stupid music or look at me, see what a can do, it was straight forward, concise, intelligent direction on the basics of what-who-why & how to do things as basically as it should be. Great job, thankyou from a beginner aged 62 👍🏼👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 😊

[@carlupthegrove262]

Well done... your pace is perfect and you cover everything at just the right level. I'm a new owner and a new drone pilot so this is super helpful.

[@AirPhotography]

Wow, thanks!

[@dylancleveland]

Just got my Mini 3 last night, charged and updated it, and about to take it for my first flight this morning. so I came back to this video and watched that last half. thanks for a great guide, man. looking forward to learning more about aerial photography and videography.

[@drinkmesenpai8853]

Amazing what the Mini 3 is capable of. Another hit from DJI’s mini series. Just loving the variery we get from the mavic mini series.

[@JustinRietaArts]

i got mine today. i watched many tuts. this videos answered what "they" miss. And your explaiining it on a calming voice. it helps. i subbed!!!! thanks

[@kayberry6292]

Thank you Sean! I love your work - always clear, always lucid, always concise, always easy to listen to. You should be teaching online school classes for everything. Part of the secret must be your lack of ego. I don't want to look at the endless talking faces which dominate KZbin tutorials and reviews. Nor do I need song and dance or comedy routines. I just need you.

[@cw2772]

I'm about to receive my first Drone and have a mixture of excitement and trepidation, but this superb video has made me feel much more confident on what to do when I receive it. Thorough explanation and without question, the best one I have seen !! I have subscribed and look forward to learning more !! Thank you

[@New-Age-Videography]

Looking at diving into this hobby. Really interested in this type of flying. Been playing around with the smaller toy drones for practice. This one seems much more precise and maneuverable. So much to learn but looks like a lot of fun. If I do purchase a starter drone it most definitely would be this one. Looking forward to it.

[@jaytee5500]

There's also freestyle and racing drones as a hobby. They're more customizable as you can build it yourself.

[@tonythehitman1]

Thank you. I got a heck of a sell on black Friday. I was going to buy the mini 4k at first but glad I got this one instead. It will be here very soon

I feel I want to join in the rest of the audience and thank for this very nice editorial with a fantastic narrative and well thought out hands on lecture. I haven’t done any research and read on, but I’m pretty sure this is Zollotech, who also makes the most well prepared and carried out reviews on iiPhones. I love it! Greetings from Finland!🇫🇮

[@richardterweele6158]

As a beginner with this new drone, this was a perfect tutorial. It explains more than i read in the books. Thank you.

Great video. You described me perfectly. Brand new and a little nervous to do my first flight. Great information and you built my confidence. First flight was awesome

[@maxsmirnoff8200]

Thanks!

[@steelmage830]

Fantastic video. I just bought a Mini Pro and am apprehensive about flying it the first time. Your video definitely put me a lot more at ease. Thanks !!

[@gamegoof]

Just dont complacent with flying it. Today on a job I hit some leaves in a tree with a mini1. It dropped 10 feet to the ground. I thought it was ok so I took it up again and it just took off vertically until it lost connection then dropped 600 feet and crashed. Now Im looking at a new one...

[@robcowles8202]

Great tutorial! Gave me the details I needed to get enough confidence to fly my mini 3 for the first time. Very clear and concise!

[@losendos194]

As a retired training professional I want to congratulate you on this fantastic tutorial. Simply brilliant! I now need to buy this drone! Thank you.

[@charliewatson9581]

Honestly. Best tutorial I’ve ever seen on KZbin. Thank you. Were you a teacher in the past? You can teach, my friend!

[@francishung777]

Even after reading the user’s guide, I was still confused. This video was incredibly helpful and got me started. I successfully flew the drone around the living room and plan to take it to the field for a test flight after. Thank you!

[@dmac5x1]

Absolutely first-rate ! I've watched this twice and now I feel like Charles Lindbergh! Seriously, this is really a very good introduction to drone piloting and I'm confident enough to try my first flight. I intend to watch all of your drone videos. Thanks !

[@unstablewindz9462]

You're the only one that has said anything regarding the batteries affecting the weight . I'm sure most that have the 3 aren't aware of that . Thank you !

I recently bought this model drone and I've not taken it out yet, but your video was the second one the came up and I'm really glad that it did suggest your channel! It's genuinely been nice to watch as your style is really helpful and given me confidence for when I do go out with it for the first few flights. Thank you so much

[@F1TrueNorth]

Great video, even a year later. Just got my first drone (mini 3) and this was spot on, down to the firmware updates and initial setup timing. Well done, good sir!

[@jojobinx]

OMG!!!!!! tried today to through the online tutorial......(got my Mini 3 delivered yesterday) I simply lost the will to live after 4 hours of trying to deal with a foreign language in the background, an English voice in the foreground and the subtitles which took up 25% of the screen. (I'm an oldie.... so by that time I was in tears) However, I walked away from it and looked on KZbin... and Jeez, thanks so much. You have made it look as simple as it claims to be. I'll work on the points you've raised and I simply cannot thank you enough for your calm and collected way you describe each function. Maybe just maybe tomorrow I might get this little mite off the ground the morrow. Xxxxz

[@ThatGuy-gm9xc]

absolutely awesome!!!! several helpful hints that weren't included in the operating instructions... would have taken me several attempts and possibly a crash or 2 to learn them... thanx so much!!!

[@AirPhotography]

Thank you very much

[@dragonmaster1500]

15:50 The best is when you make sure to update your firmware at 6:00am so that it's ready to go for flying, then you get to the job site at 7:00 and have to scramble because DJI pushed a second firmware update. And this always seems to happen on field days.

[@shmisher7933]

Indeed, I remember when I first started flying always some anxiety. It’s a lot of money up in the air. That goes away once you build trust in the product.

Hi Shawn, thank you so much for this terrific tutorial video. I am a newbie to the drone world and have really benefited from your very well professional and organized presentation.
