Amazing and informative video for somone who is getting their first drones. Nicely explained and demonstrated. Keep up the good content! 🙏

[@multipreach2674]

Hmm, I've got a huawei p30 lite, it's not listed on the list, if you can get the app to work on your phone can you be sure it will work, or will you not find out until you try to connect to the drone?

[@Hawk1732]

Got my mini 2 a week ago, absolutely brilliant tutorial.

[@paulrichardson9319]

Do you actually need to have data on your phone to operate the drone?

[@multipreach2674]

@@paulrichardson9319 no, but you will need Internet connection to load the map up, you get much better range when you switch your phone to airplane/flight mode.

[@familymatterslowepeel8092]

I like the speed of your explanations. Very clear. Language very understandable. You’re a good tutor.

[@BlueTangoProject]

Excellent tutorial. Loved it!

[@frankleemasters]

Looking forward to getting my Mini 2 next week, so I've been consuming KZbin tutorials voraciously. In my opinion, yours is the best tutorial I've seen. As a teacher of photography and Photoshop, I can tell you that your pace and information were both excellent. Teaching is actually a skill which can be taught or innate and you've got it. Thank you so much!

[@fernandonieves7063]

Same here jejeje im waiting for amazon send me the drone ☺️

[@jupitercyclops6521]

Hey guys, does this drone work when you are in an area with no GPS or phone reception? Can it be operated via just rc? & are you happy with yours? Thanks!

[@llewellynreilly1283]

Hello to all new pilots who got a Mini 2 for Christmas and are now watching this video! Good times ahead for you guys!

[@deg6788]

Just got mine today....

[@jlutz63]

Thanks, it’s flying real well so far

Hello and Thanks!! New pilot here and can't wait to do some flying!

[@simonclarke7309]

On its way

[@SelleslaghF]

Thus guy gives THE BEST TUTORIAL in to how to setup the drone. If one is not able to go fly with the DJI drones after watching these vlogs he or she should concider not to fly at all. So big THANKS to Ed Ricker! 👌🏻👍🏻

[@hawkeye19531]

A VERY good tutorial for beginner pilots.Explains everything in detail.Well done Ed!

[@s.p.9550]

Thank you - you made this detailed video 2 years ago.... yet its still helping the beginners... so massive thanks to you.

[@anthonyfisher784]

I don't think I'll ever get tired of my Mini 2! Not when there's always something new to try with it!

[@jhughes2286]

Some people eventually crave more control and go with fpv drones fly upside down.

[@FreelikeaBird999]

More and more places not allow for flying drones now…

[@bobolbricht6331]

THX, I finally found someone who shows steps clearly, I'm a novice,and I'm old but you have helped me move foward

[@h15films]

I’ve watched both tutorials and I must say they’ve both been put together very well. I’ve been looking to buy my first drone and you’ve given me the confidence to do it. Thanks.

[@weshoward4301]

Ed, you're to be commended. This pair of videos wins the equivalent of Oscar for actually covering the goals in a way that isn't intimidating & doesn't assume knowledge on the viewer that isn't there (yet). Mini 2 is inbound along with a dedicated refurb Pixel 4 XLT, so I'll be reviewing again. Great production and thanks again for taking the time.

[@michaelz7190]

So far this is the best tutorial on DJI 2mini that I have found. Thank you.

[@jenniferanthony7568]

EXCELLENT INSTRUCTION! If I had found you before the other guy I watched, I probably would not be waiting for my drone to ship back to me from repair facility. Thanks for getting back into making videos!

[@bertholdpaul9218]

Thanks! I'm already flying my Mini 2 weeks ago but I'm still learning a lot from your tutorial! Happy Holidays!

Clear explanation for a new pilot. I’ve seen some tutorials for DJI mini 2 before, but I learn more from this video that they never brought up.

[@alwaystravelling100]

Good to see you again. 3+ years on since I first started watching your tutorials. Lots of air miles since then!! All the best

[@wilbmoore]

Your video is the best I've ever seen. You're the first person that's ever concisely explained why you simply have the rear of your drone facing you to put yourself pretty much in the pilots seat. Very simple, yet important.

[@nishantrustlingu]

This is so far the best on KZbin. A very good job in explaining everything! Awesome Job!

[@JANNETTEHEROLD06]

I’ve watched a few videos on the Mini 2. And this is the best one I’ve watched. The only one that answered all of my questions. Thank you!!

[@benhurtrinidad8741]

Wow out of all vidoes ive seen this part 1 & 2 have given me the complete lesson thank u

[@paultaylor472]

Excellent tutorial. I just bought the DJI mini 2 from Costco for our trip to Maui and Oahu and can’t wait to use it. Thank you.

[@shwaybotx]

This was the best Mini 2 drone tutorial that I've ever seen. Thank you. I will watch it again when my Mini 2 arrives in a few days.

[@ginocoghetto8993]

Best tutorial on explaining this drone on KZbin

[@DetroitboyTV]

Thanks for the tutorial. Makes me appreciate my first DJI drone purchase even more.

[@georginiuss]

I am an absolute rookie in drone world, so, this video is like gold to me. Thank you so much, is so useful to learn from other people experience and in that way avoid some mistakes and understand how the drone and the control works. Really good job Ed. Greetings from Cordoba, Argentina.

[@rangeorge85051]

best tutorial for the absolute beginner on youtube, and I've been looking for a couple of days

[@notre2024]

Thank you for creating such a clear, concise, and insightful drone lesson video. The vivid imagery and straightforward explanations made it incredibly helpful and enjoyable to watch. You’ve inspired me to take the step and get a DJI drone! I truly appreciate your effort and look forward to exploring more of your content.

[@DeWhale]

this is the beginners tutorial that I need 👍

[@danromo635]

Excellent Tutorial, not only are you a pilot but an instructor & teacher. I’m a beginner and now you’ve given me confidence to fly without fear. Thank you for your time & expertise.

[@levine62]

Been thinking about getting my first drone and came across your channel as it was the DJI MINI 2 I was thinking about. Thank you my man for a superb tutorial. You made everything so simple to understand with your demos. Amazing work and I will be buying this drone, Thanks

[@angelayau3671]

I have been just consuming tutorials about DJI Mini 2 because tomorrow is my first flight with the drone and this is the best tutorial I’ve watched in these two days

[@Shah82727]

How is it? Have you mastered it by now?

[@madanismail1]

Hi Ed, there' s also another trick to land safely or actually avoid landing while your mini 2 is hovering just grab it from the bottom safely and flip it there is a safety mechanism that will stop the blades from turning, next you will just power off like you first did while starting it, thank you so much for you wonderful video.

[@kippyoungman3439]

Brother just wanted to thank you and I found you on KZbin I got one this year and really enjoyed your presentation God bless you

[@AlienDrones]

Nice tutorial, I like the arrow overlay on the controller so if you're unfamiliar with the control it is a nice visual on what's going on. Good beginning to end overview! Thanks!

[@EdRickerVlogs]

Thank you! I forgot my GoPro for stick cam, but a little extra editing made up for it

[@NAPELAKAPU]

I have watched several videos on startup to first flight. I personally think yours is one of the best I have seen. Thank you for producing this excellent start up video. Took my first flight today and used many of your lessons and found them invaluable. Mahalo

[@danielwatts7375]

Great videos, Ed. I just bought a Mini 2 and this is a perfect demonstration of starting out-of-the-box to basic flying. I flew the Phantom 4 as part of my old job, but it's been a few years since I last flew. I got the Mini 2 because I wanted to get back into flying. Thanks for the videos!

[@davidlock8473]

Brilliant, thank you. I am about to purchase a DJI Mini 2 but I am hesitant due to the potential and imminent Mini 3 release. In the meantime it's KZbin video all the way. This is the most comprehensive 'Getting Started' tutorial I've seen so for. Thanks again for your effort in helping us Newbies out.

[@The_Retro_Room]

Superb tutorial! Very well executed, clear, and straight forward without any needless fluff. Thank you so much.

[@conkcat]

I have just bought my first drone at 70 years old. DJI 4K After watching your video it gave me the confidence to fly it gently. I was so nervous. So thank you sir, your explanations were spot on.

[@craigthibault9861]

Ed- I just watched both part I and II, thank you so much for making them. I am new to the drone world and the mini 2 is my first drone. Your video really helped me get a basic understanding of how to get my drone set up and started. Again, thank you so much I appreciate the videos.

[@robertpublicover]

Once again I have learned a better way of doing things. This time it was calibrating the compass. Forever, I have been trying to recalibrate by turning horizontally and vertically by using hand motions. Walking around the landing pad seems to doing the trick much more easily. Thank you. Of course that is not the only thing I have learned but it is the easiest for me to implement immediately. Thank you!

[@AnniesWonder]

Done with this part 2 sir Ed, and you are awesome in explaining it all clearly. Kudos to your explanation. Well, explained , clear and everybody can understand for sure ! Thank you so much! Am now one of your follower here. More power to your channel!

[@tonyk6154]

Just bought mini 2 as a hobby...Great video..well done

[@winslowwhite4003]

Wonderful instructional video..... I love my Mini 2 and for such a small drone, it behaves like my Phantom 3 Pro or P4. It is a fun drone to fly and enjoy.

[@EdRickerVlogs]

Thanks for watching!

[@waynefranklin2222]

Hey Ed, you are awesome in my book. I've had my mini 2 for about a month now. I finally got the courage to take it out the box (lol) Brought a few cheaper drones to get a little experience flying before I made the investment on this drone. Wow what a gigantic difference between those cheaper drone and this one. But truth be told they did give me a little experience. So I watch your tutorials a couple of times before I went flying. I just wanted to say thank you for making it easy to get it in the air. I'm still a little nervous of letting it get out of my line of sight, but I did today and use the map to keep track of it. Saving my pennies now to get the Mavic air 2 in the not to distant future. Peace.

[@EdRickerVlogs]

Glad I was able to help, Wayne! Enjoy your Mini 2

[@stevenbarratt7409]

Ed, I'm a bit late to the show watching this video! But, what a clear concise and professional review. Both part 1 and part 2 were brilliant and have helped me with a drone choice.

[@tooyoungtobeold8756]

Excellent video. Probably the best tutorial I have seen. I got my first drone yesterday, a Mini 2, so I am still learning. Do you need to calibrate the compass for every flight if they are from different places? And the same goes for your home point?

[@PBRStreetGangster]

Thanks so much for this awesome video. My wife and I were in Cabo recently and we were on a boat with a gentleman from California that professionally taped our whale watching boat ride from his drone. He let me fly his drone and tape too. He had a much more expensive DJI drone. When I arrived home I did research for days for the best entry level drone and the DJI Mini 2 was a hit with everyone. So I purchased one today since I'm a beginner and I could afford the price. This video of yours will help me a ton on learning to fly it for the first time! I am so excited! From what i have read the DJI seem to have the best reputation out there and they are very popular. Thanks again for your great video.

[@Owl_moon_light]

Thank you for your time in creating this video! I've had my drone for maybe two years and have been intimidated to fly it. Your video is clear and understandable. Thank you, again.
