Ok so there’s no way I could watch this and not make a comment - excellent video - I like the enlarged device screen displayed to further enhance the educational information us viewers get from watching it - firm voice , no goofing around or annoying shenanigans - well done, I appreciate it , my Mavic Mini arrives tomorrow the day before Thanksgiving ✌️

[@FlytPath]

That means a lot Jess. Hope your first flight goes well. Take it slow.

[@240LTS]

... Exactly! So many videos from others are a bunch of fluff or BS. Videos should be like these, short, clear and to the point. Thanks so much. .

[@kalkydra]

I share the feeling of this post. Great job on your guide. Mine arrive this Saturday!! Cheers!

[@kolikojesati91]

+1 here. You're doing a great job. Best dji reviewer on KZbin.

[@derekdoubleut]

I get my Mini net week. How do you like yours now that you've had it for a while?

[@countryboymotovlogs926]

And remember if you get disoriented of over wellmed just let go of the sticks and the drown will stop and just hover. Catch your breath and return it to you slowly.

[@alistairross4317]

Excellent tip. thanks!

[@Brett8848]

DJI should really learn from this video how to make a tutorial, very informative and clear, thanks for this!

[@FlytPath]

Thank u 🙏

[@rolo1054]

Brett Xie You are so right. Best First Flight video out there. There is a lot of let-me-tell you videos out there. This let-me-show you video should be the standard. I viewed it (along with others that were not nearly as useful) before my first flight, and I’m back to review and still hone basic skills shown here.

[@cocoboy5215]

thank you sir, you made our life easier for us first timer drone owners.

[@FlytPath]

Great to hear. Thanks

[@biggc313]

Me too just got mine today

[@ahmedsheikh5928]

I’m a 12 year old who has crashed many drones so it isn’t my first time but I suck at flying so yeah

[@watchingeye5435]

That’s right we want to see more Mavic mini videos from you

[@watchingeye5435]

Kool Aid Victor concentrate in direct looking the drone with your eyes. I do have glasses too and I learned not to trust the screen on my phone too much.

[@gam85191]

This here is the best video I have found on drone control for beginners. I have a Mavic Mini so this very much comes in handy

[@KarlPlesz]

I have watched a lot of KZbinrs talk about their Mavic Mini experiences and you are by far the most informative. As others have said, you don't fool around or ramble on, you get to the point with excellent visuals and a great narrative style. Kudos!

[@FlytPath]

Thanks Karl I appreciate that

[@steveo726]

Tip not mentioned ? If your using a mobile phone put your phone in airplane mode to save calls while flying

[@williamlee1094]

Do you need the wifi or bluetooth from the phone to keep the communication with the drone?

[@iangolsby8471]

@@williamlee1094 No. The controller uses wifi to connect to the drone and your phone uses that small cable to connect to the controller.

[@christianbeccy]

Does this affect map rendering?

[@GaLDebil]

And in airplane mode your phone can fly with the drone

[@biggc313]

Thanks

[@ianwillis-bentley2086]

Bally tiptop, no bull, no me, me, me, just straight to the point with great points made. Thank you

[@FlytPath]

wow thanks

[@davidpecjak544]

Great video! Remind new flyers that as they maneuver their drone, if they panic, just let go of BOTH sticks to allow the drone to simply hover. This may be obvious to us, but could save a drone or two for new flyers.

[@JahanSalehi]

I"m an experienced drone pilot, and I think you do an excellent job at instruction and demonstration. I'm impressed, and will subscribe to your channel. Well done.

[@FlytPath]

Means a lot thanks jahan

[@iamjonathancheng]

Thank you for the Mavic Mini Beginners Setup Guide Part 2 of 2 session.

[@opsoverseas]

Watched this vlog before my mavic mini turned up, it really helped, three years later I'm still flying it and getting better, three crashes now, first was knocked out of the sky by a red kite being territorial, broken arm, second was flying into a football goal frame in a slow control sequence, new props, and the third one was breaking the gimbal mounts after an attempt at self catch landing went wrong. Every mistake is a learning opportunity! Thanks Aldryn!

[@navarredr]

I used to fly a single-rotor copter, back in the day. It was so difficult to hover. I've tried a couple of quad-copters since, but before they built in smart hovering. I can't believe how far quad-copters.. drones.. have come. Looking forward to flying the mavic mini! Thanks!

[@tw3nty7]

Ok so after going almost through all of the mavic mini playlist and reading all of the manuals I think im ready for my first flight, wish me luck

[@ALCOR_46]

Good luck. My first fly day will be tomorrow after the skies clear out a little bit

[@gjprince887]

Me too!

[@kingbliss1509]

Today was the first day I got to fly my Mavic mini. I had such little confidence in my flying skills, so I had to stop flying after just a few flight. After watching these tips, I have been boosted a new HIGH of confidence. Thank you so much

[@ianmills9175]

The more videos of your I watch the more confident I am that I will be able to fly effectively, Awesome

Aldryn, I've bought a Mavic Mini (fly combo) and your videos are helping me to understand how to fly a drone. Your videos are very didactic and well edited. Keep up the awesome work! Regards from Brazil!

[@FlytPath]

Thank you very much. Glad it helped

[@JoshThompson25]

Put up a video explaining calibration and demostrate it! Should definitely be something new flyers see

[@bhammons34]

New Drone owner. Great job making a video that is still very much relevant after a couple of years. Purchased a Mavic Mini used so I was searching for educational videos. Great info here!! Thank you

[@FlytPath]

Thanks Brian

[@jesswynn9626]

Once again, excellent job - speaking clear at an easy to keep up with pace - no nonsense slapstick or unnecessary jokes thrown in just a top notch instructional video - thank you

[@ewingfox6459]

Great video! Something that new flyers should take note of is that for those of us who don't live in sunny California - expect their drone to freak out every few seconds about low temperature! I received my mavic mini last night and of course ran straight out and started flying. it was 12° Fahrenheit and the unit quickly decided it was too cold but beyond giving me an alert letting me know I still was able to enjoy around 20 minutes of flight at high speed, with crosswinds before it finally told me that it needed to come home and take a warm bath and have a cup of tea (not really!!) Thanks again for yet another great video and a very direct presentation style. I am definitely glad that I made you my first drone related subscription - after watching three of your videos you quickly went on my very short 'do not skip ads' list and I am also recommending you to my friends who are quite jealous of my new drone and are thinking about getting into the hobby!!

[@FlytPath]

That’s awesome I’m glad I was able to help. Stay warm out there

[@davidwiniger3799]

Was your lens foggy? That’s what happened to me.

[@ewingfox6459]

@@davidwiniger3799 amazingly, My lens did not fog but then again the humidity is just about zero up here with it being so cold!

[@Pindi44]

I definitely got value from this video, many thanks. Your tutorials are a boon for newbies like me.

[@FlytPath]

🙏👊🏼

[@akgaming.2938]

@@FlytPath Would you like to tell me what is the best option for buying a drone in 2019.MAVIC air or mavic mini.

[@Kayshots]

DO WHAT YOU WANT. Well the mavic air is double price so i guess the mavic mini

[@akgaming.2938]

@@Kayshots Yeah you said absolutely right but I think mavic mini can't stay in windy conditions due to their ultra lightweight so that is why I think mavic air is a best option to buy and have more features. Mostly I travel in the mountains that I think that mavic air is better stay than mavic mini in windy conditions what do you think? Have a great day!😀😃😄🙂

Am an experience flier, 78 years old and have a couple of dji drones but because I got my mini late fall and it is too cold and snowy to fly until maybe march, your video is much appreciated. It is one thing to read the manual, but nothing beats a good visual demo. Have been a long time subscriber to your channel and appreciate all that you do on it. Happy Flying

[@sionehefa3458]

Brilliant! It is June 2022 and I am finally getting a second hand Mavic Mini real cheap and this video just gives me the confidence I need to fly it.

[@epacrisimp]

Ditto and these videos are great! I have subscribed.

[@vegasrjr]

I've owned just about every drone DJI and Autel makes, but I still enjoy your informative videos..One of these days when I'm in SD I'll bring my Inspire 2 and let you have a go at it..

[@ahnanji]

First time drone pilot, learning to use controls and features of the MAVIC MINI. I would like to fly it over ponds, rivers and lakes. Can you talk about the issues like, how low is safe, what happens to GPS connections and wifi connections, plus any other dangers I might not be aware of. Thanks. Your tutorials have been very helpful in building my confidence.

[@mammeogirl]

I found out the hard way, updrafts over moving water and bridges. Everything worked out without crashing but it was a pucker moment:)

[@williamgrundmann1529]

Just wanted to say you are a great teacher. Very simple video, clear and to the point.

[@geezerpleasers_OG]

I cannot imagine why anyone would give this excellent video a thumbs down.

[@lilyrose8619]

Wish I watched this before my first flight, my first flight was a crash because of orientation :(

[@xts_eddy9527]

I live like at the border for the restricted zone, it's a airport a few kilometers away from where I live but that airport isn't used anymore....

[@aries752005]

I don't know if anyone already commented "This video made me decide to buy my first drone." thanks for your video! It really helps a lot someone like me.

Thanks Aries happy flying

Thank you sir as usual. I felt like I saved a lot of time trying things by myself (and potentially make some mistakes) by just watching your informative videos. And better than that, these videos are made BEFORE my drone got shipped to me so I can start flying my Mavic Mini exactly when I got it. XD

[@sucofnisucofni8935]

[@nickarmendariz5920]

Thanks for taking the time to post these tips, I just got a Mavic Mini and these are extremely helpful as this is my first drone. I really like that you clarified the positioning of the antennas as some other videos I have watched did not make this clear or would only have them halfway extended. I also appreciated that you said to try doing figure eights to get comfortable with the flight of the drone, I think this will definitely help me get control of the drone and better help with orientation as well. You really take your time explaining things but are straight to the point in all your videos and this is greatly appreciated as I am just learning how to fly a drone, keep up the good work!

[@edmartin9431]

Recently purchased the unit. Finished part 1 and 2 of the start videos. I usually search for several different areas for instructional items before moving forward. Don’t think I will need todo this after watching your init8al videos. Now to fly the unit for the first time and look at a couple more videos to further items of flying!
