DJI Mini SE Beginners Guide | Getting Ready For First Flight

[@ApeXTechno]

I've been a teacher for about 30 years and found this to be a wonderful concise, clear and comprehensive guide to getting started. Very well done Sir! Now let's get flying!

[@AirPhotography]

Thank you very much that’s much appreciated

No need to know you have been a teacher 30 years . For what ?_No relationship with the drone . Thanks to let us know u r teacher.

Nice comment mate, i agree top job on showing how the drone works :) going to get one because of this so thx.

[@stacieroberts3741]

Drones have been intimidating for me. I got an SE mini after watching this video. I followed all the instructions and didn't feel nervous about it at all. Thank you for this amazing tutorial!

[@MarkWayUp]

thank you - now I don't feel so intimidated :)

[@patrickchuchu4233]

Great job on explaining!

[@bolt2638]

I think this is an excellent guide especially for beginners. I remember the first time I bought a drone, I can't wait to get on with it and fly mine the way other seasoned pilots do! But the ugly truth is it's kinda overwhelming at first! That's why a tutorial like this is truly helpful!

[@darnell2710]

I started with very inexpensive drones, my very first cost $7.00. I took I could from that cheap drone and from there bought another an another I was comfortable the basics. Finally I got the nerve to buy my first DJI and flew it like a pro. The biggest challenge is getting and knowing the controls and know how the drone flies. I have a long way to go still, but I’m over putting the drone in the air.

[@liamwanless8467]

i might get this next month as a birthday gift, and i agree! so far it has been verry helpfull at showing me all the features as well as some other vids showing some of the limitations due to things like it being a wifi drone

[@What5Poppin5lime]

@@darnell2710 that’s smart. I wish I did that for my first drone

[@ethanfang7927]

Those instructions are the worse thing you can ask for when getting something you want but the instructions show things unclearly

[@smeeegheeeed1]

Possibly the best tutorial I’ve watched on KZbin. Thanks for sharing!

[@AirPhotography]

Wow, thanks!

[@Tracker7266]

I agree 100%. I'm just learning and AirPhotography's methodical and concise explanation helped me get in the air for the first time and quickly without any problems. Thank you AirPhotography !

[@schtinerbock4570]

I was surprised the drone came with absolutely zero instructions so I'm glad I found your channel.

[@AirPhotography]

Thank you I’m glad you enjoyed it

[@tammysypniewski1891]

Thanks. I needed this masterclass. I’m off for ma maiden voyage!

[@KennethDaMenath]

this was an insanely helpful guide! Thank you so much for being so calm and even giving advice on the anxiety of it all! I cant wait to go out and fly

[@AirPhotography]

That’s great I’m glad you found it helpful

[@dot10k]

As someone who panics, your advice on what’s to do in that situation was invaluable and has boosted my confidence. An excellent beginners guide video and I thank you for all of the trouble that you went to in making it.

[@AirPhotography]

Thank you I’m glad you found it helpful

[@williamjolly5539]

I just purchased this drone. It was the last one and they had three 2 days ago and I couldn't believe they sold that fast. I can't wait to get this drone up in the air! Thank you for the information.

[@jeremytownshend8344]

This was an excellent intorductory video Sean so thank you very much. After a lot of deliberation I ordered my SE mini today and it should arrive in time for Christmas. I'll review this video again before setting off for my first flight. Thank you once again.

[@ronaldpeele7963]

Who would want to buy toy category drones now when there's the Mini SE that's priced like a toy but does real camera drone functions?

[@joenathanz7474]

Me.... i would like to buy MJX brand before it cost 250$. Then i saw these. Hell yeah 50$ extra with DJI's ease of use and quality

[@Falcon65456]

I mean Tello has a camera and stuff and it’s only $170

[@solofighter1233]

YE

[@matterhorn1975]

I think the mavic mini and mini SE and mini 2 is perfectly priced, pro's and con's with all 3 models. Personally I'd forget about the mavic mini due to wind 4 rating, the onlybreason I would choose the mini 2 over the SE is the controller feels a million times better In the hand and uses ocusync 2. If your not too bothered about flying over 1 mile away, go for the SE and save well over £100. Personally I spent the extra money for a rock solid connection on ocusync 2.

Thank you for the most excellent and very best dji mini se video i ve ever seen!!!

[@chrishoole617]

Thanks Sean. I’ve just purchased a mini se as we are about to to a road trip around the north coast of Scotland and wanted to capture some different views. I was absolutely terrified about my first flight but after just watching your tutorial I can’t wait for the drone to charge and get out there. Very clear instruction and held my attention from start to finish. Again thank you so much 👍

[@AirPhotography]

Thank you very much I’m glad you enjoyed it

[@jamesturpin8271]

Took my anxiety away just by watching your video. Thank you.

[@AirPhotography]

Thank you I’m glad you enjoyed

[@Fenrir133]

Fantastic tutorial for raw beginners. Just got my SE and this is VERY useful. Many thanks for taking the trouble to make this.

[@deanhufton1274]

I've been considering a drone for a long time and came across the Mini SE combo at an affordable price . After watching your videos, I made my mind up, so thanks for a great tutorial .

[@WoWdropzone]

Very nice and simple explanations. It's how I like to teach. Your tone was pleasant as well, true Canadian style. lol I definitely needed the beginner nervousness going away reassurance. I'm afraid of heights and got vertigo when I first started. It went away the more I flew around. To me though, I'm not just nervous from the vertigo but it's also because I'm afraid to hurt someone with the drone accidentally or lose the drone. I'm glad that's a normal feeling. I just need to fly more and gain that confidence. Thanks for the video!

[@mr_radikal007]

Great video. Just ordered my DJi Mini SE based on this video. Arrives today 👍🏼👏🏼Bournemouth UK 🇬🇧

[@michaeldique]

As a complete beginner, I must say this was a very good and comprehensive guide to using this drone! Looking forward to receiving it in a couple of days!

[@AirPhotography]

Glad it was helpful!

[@nkmatos]

This Is the Best Tutorial that I Had Watched.

[@AirPhotography]

Thank you very much

[@2tea22]

I wanted to get into the drone photography for a while. Recently I bought a DJI mini SE to try it around. Your guide gave me all the info I needed to start. Thank you.

[@infinitetrex1127]

So a year later how did it go

[@2tea22]

@@infinitetrex1127 I enjoy flying it occasionally, I watched a tone of videos about drone photography and videography but still do not feel like I overgrown it. This is still a great beginner drone!

[@denizdiren9107]

Thanks for the detailed information. I have decided to buy one after watching this video. Great help. Much appreciated.

[@davidbuckley8127]

This video has been invaluable for me and I really appreciate the effort put into it. Two minor things that weren't mentioned though, the need to (and how to), calibrate the compass and that Battery care is quite complicated and worth researching. For a landing pad, even a large piece of flat cardboard will do. It'll be far better than starting in the grass.

[@yozy4996]

Absolutely Excellent and thorough tutorial...Thank you.

[@AirPhotography]

Thank you I’m glad you enjoyed it

[@travlgrl51]

Thank you for your video! We just purchased our Mini SE and found the printed information grossly inadequate. The detailed information in your video is exactly what we needed. We'll be reviewing the video several times as we learn all the ins and outs of this device.

[@matterhorn1975]

Watch a million youtube videos pal, way better than any instruction manual

[@deanlewisbengy]

I just purchased a mini se. Really enjoyed watching this video and i can't wait to get out and give it a go.

[@joei4ever]

bought one few days ago, as a complete amateur and never flown a drone before, I managed to do some great flying and great shots. I dont need better then this for amateur use.

[@AirPhotography]

It is indeed a pretty solid Drone

[@gamecodeur]

The kind of video I was looking for days. It's much better than guys behing a desk explaining how the drone works not showing a real flight! I'd like more details on camera control by the way but it's still perfect.

[@n1i1r1v1a1n1a1]

What a legend tutorial. Thanks. I just got mine.

[@superseacrow9463]

I've just bought this UAV and the first thing i did was watch this video. Love how you broke it down. Can't wait to see things from a different point of view.

You did an excellent job of explaining the SE!

[@RT-qz5ci]

Got one for my 6 yo for Christmas and just took it out for the first flight. Thanks for the video. Went great!

Thank you for creating this beginner's guide. It's a clear step-by-step guide for new DJI SE owners like me. Good job Air Photography.

Thank you I’m glad you enjoyed it

[@MattysRCWorld]

Great job Sean! Love this idea, bringing the Mini SE into the market for the lower cost price point! This will without a doubt put a ton of the toy grade companies on notice lol! DJI is brilliant! Good to see you! Take care!

[@WilliamTozzo]

Ape X has been teaching for 7 more years than me, but I feel the same way:) Nice job and thank you very much!

[@donnyjones9984]

I found this to be a good guide for someone starting out. Lots of good information. My tip I would add though is to be as far away from TREES and other obstacles as possible on your first flight! I thought it was strange to be showing a demo flight where you take off and land between trees. You also couldn’t actually show the complete return to home feature because it needed to land near trees.

[@-Bearito]

I've just been offered this drone as a birthday gift and it's my first one. Your guide was awesome, thx! :)

Still awaiting for my first drone to arrive (DJI SE) and I can't thank you enough for this. I've learnt so much from this video, as an absolute newbie to DJI drones. The drone is still being shipped, but I've watched this video about 3-4 times already...so excited!!! Cheers!

Currently in the market to buy my first drone (which, after research, will be the DJI Mini SE). After watching many instructional videos this, by far, is the best and most comprehensive without being painfully long or inadequately short. Excellent job! Have flagged this for easy reference when I get my drone. Well done! Thank you!

[@rayphelps-bowman3824]

A fantastic video! Thanks. I got my Mini SE today and had great difficulty figuring out even how to turn it and the controller on and off. Now I know. Of course, the temperature is 12 degrees F with a 30 mph wind, so I don't think I will be flying today. Maybe I'll rewatch your video.
