How to Hand Launch and Land your DJI Mavic Mini

[@JimHoltan]

First thing I did after ordering the Mavic Mini was to order a drone landing pad, as everyone stated it was imperative you had a safe and CLEAN landing spot for the drone. However, in the meantime I watched Aldryn’s video. Result: I’ve never utilized the landing pad. Aldryn’s hand launching and landing process is excellent and works perfectly.

[@beaviskeavis]

I use a trivia pursit board

[@danteanderson9052]

I use the case that comes with it.

[@studio-dombay]

I used dji phantom 4 pro for weddings . When I bought the mavic mini I started using it on my wedding shoots because I quickly activate it, shot 2.7 is enough 60fps too, I lock the exposure.they can also be used indoors if the lighting is properly arranged and of course if the rooms are much higher. If I want a frame where I use ronin and want it even higher look ... the mini mavic is a miracle

[@drewpatterson8009]

It only shoots 1080 in 60fps

[@ethansharfman]

Drew Patterson the Mavic mini shoots at 2.7k at 30fps

[@jesseamaya4413]

Seriously helpful. Just flew my mini 2 for the first time outdoors. Impressive handling in the wind. What I did to hand catch was just put my hand under it from the front and avoid the sensors.

[@mousekenny]

Thanks as always. I’m nearly speechless how much info you’ve provided about Mavic Mini and how much effort you put into.

Another "pure protein" vid. Focused topic. No wasted time. Thorough coverage. Thank you!

[@F91jvuDX]

Right to the point and almost no background music - perfect!

[@TheNewTravel]

Perfect tutorial... thanks for simplifying the process!

[@NickIbizahire]

Thank you for the tips - about to head out and try my first ever drone flight. Wish me luck

[@TheGuggo]

No reply... maybe not so well? Or already publishing videos on YT?

[@Awildjaapappeared]

Yeah he dead boys

[@DingDangg]

The propellers cut him in half!

Major Oof

[@kyledrinksmonster3357]

Saw your drone on eBay for parts... F

[@spoofer07]

Just successfully hand launched and hand landed thanks to you. Never again I will have to search for suitable landing stop. Thanks.

[@ewingfox6459]

I saw you hand launch and I decided to try it out - glad I had my training guards on - not because it was hard to catch - but because of the shape (and because I didn't think to use auto-land) it pulled up, and it was slippery! I've learned to grip it a bit tighter and give it a quick inversion, which shuts it down

[@KandiKlover]

It's just trying to stop you from molesting it.

[@gadreem]

A great review Aldrin, that after watching other videoes in which the presenter did not know why the drone is getting away from his hand, your totorials are easy to get, & cover the important issues.

[@FlytPath]

Thanks Gad

[@Texflix]

Good video as always. Proof that practice is king with this technology.

[@DougToppin]

Got mine in the mail yesterday and looking forward to using it this weekend. Cannot believe how much smaller it is than my Pro. Tks for your videos, they are always informative

[@SeanHelmsMedia]

It's still helping my channel. The capabilities of this little beast are astounding. Thank you DJI!

[@shinajvlog]

Grabbing and flipping the drone for sudden shut down is really a new function for me. Awesome video. Thank you so much

[@pupaktube2825]

Man, I just bought my firt drone, Mavic mini, and I was able to learn so much from your, you got yourself a new subscriber and I will recommend you to my friends as well, cheers from Serbia! ☺️👏👏👏👏

[@WatchSociety]

Just picked up my Mavic mini and working my way around some of the features.

[@daz87]

best video so far for hand launch and land thanks 🤝

[@ShankyMcStabbs]

Shoulda watched this before slicing my thumb... thanks for the great content!

[@BroncoPatriot]

Just bought a Mavic Mini and i truly appreciate your videos.

[@williammahorney8101]

I really would love to have a Mavic mini, but it’s too expensive. I still love watching you and your tutorials!

[@jhawk3910]

Finally, a video that specifically addresses hand launch on the mini. Thanks!

[@FlytPath]

Hope it helped

[@Redbaron_Gaming]

Took my mini outside for the first time just now(before watching this) I was getting so frustrated when the little bugger kept flying off when I was trying to grab it xD

[@tonyfourpaws4511]

When I saw the first advertisement for the mini I was blown away by the hand launch. I thought it was so FUTURE!!! To this day, I'm still a fan of the hand launch!!!! Go future!!!

[@MausTheGerman]

Thanks for making this super informative tutorials! I just bought the Mavic Mini and your Videos really helped me alot to understand the basic stuff of drone flying! Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪 ✌️😎✌️

[@FlytPath]

Awesome.

[@BlackAlpha1]

This video is PRECISELY what I need. Thank You Aldryn!

[@daryllarsen8858]

Perfect timing! I was just searching for a hand launch/land tutorial for the Mini this morning and found nothing. Thanks!

[@FlytPath]

Glad I can help

[@17germa]

Haha, I was searching yesterday ... 😂

[@nopassenger2151]

This is the most helpful video I’ve had with this particular topic thank you for being direct to the point. The information you provide very easy to understand.

Really liking your vids ...... clear easy instructions. Cheers from Ontario Canada

[@WillEDC]

One of the most important skill to learn.

[@controlmechanism]

Nope. Stick your finger in da props to switch it off. Top skill.

[@rickrodrigues2219]

Love your instructional videos! keep them coming!

[@Bluelightbandit]

Thanks for the tip! I just got my first drone (mini) and I've been catching it and turning it upside down to turn it off. This video makes life a lil easier now, thanks!

[@poptart8690]

Just got the Air2S. My first drone. Thanks for the helpful video.

[@hermanv.b.376]

Thanks for this video. I especially like the tipping trick. My preferred way of catching the drone is to have it hover at eye level and then grab it behind the ground sensors, and then hold the left control lever down all the way which makes the propellers stop. I find it easier to grab it when the drone isn't moving. I did get my finger caught in the propeller once because I tried to land it on my hand. Good thing I was wearing gloves; there was no cut and no blood.

[@25VanLife]

Thank you, got the drone and learned this! Next step Sport Mode!

[@secondchance6603]

Was just about to order one of those landing pads, don't think I'll bother now. Going to fly over my boss's avocado orchard next week, it's the biggest in New Zealand. All the best from the far north of NZ and thanks for the tips!

[@AmazingCole]

Haha I literally bought 2. I’m a drone pilot in canada and use the Mavic 2 pro for most of my work but these will be great to Cary everywhere.

[@LiHao8377]

Finally someone post how to Launch and Land Mini.

[@GordieK]

Found this so easy to do .. bit daunting at first but it all went well... tbh I found that due to the non existent rear legs I had to hand launch in a few spots ...thank you

[@davesfilmingservices4377]

I subscribed to you channel ages ago. But this is one of the most dangerous and lethal aspects of using a drone. I've seen many accidents cut fingers, finger hanging off - in real and on video, all due do accidents with hand catching. I use to do this with - not knowing any better with two of my drones, but no longer. You can always find a take off and landing place, even if you have to move 10 or 50 meters away from where you need to be. Those rotating blades can take off a finger in a split second, or even take an eye out or scar your face. Madness.

[@FlytPath]

Sadly. Most people do it with no knowledge. I hope to change that.

[@davesfilmingservices4377]

@@FlytPaththank for your reply. Yes I used to, but since obtaining a licence some while ago and now using my drones professionally, I never hand catch anymore. There's always a take off and landing place, you have to look around you and you'll find one. I hope this helps your viewers too.

[@dennisajones9352]

I have been doing it too as a result of his instructions! Works great!

Thank you that is a perfect lesson on landing. I have Mavic mini 2 If I would have known this I wouldn’t have crash landed on my balcony. It’s broken now and I have to sent it to the dji service center.

[@BeKindv2024]

For me 2.7k is enough for what I want, 249gr is great, over 25 minutes of flight time and the price is on the spot of what I wanted to spend on a new drone. The decision was a no brainer and I bought the Combo.

same here. mine will come on the 2nd week of December.

[@evmoFPV]

I've been flying for years and this is by far the easiest, simplest thing to use so far. You'll be fine.

[@KandiKlover]

You don't have to fly it, these things are pretty much just flying themselves and you just tell them what you want it to do. Just be careful when close to trees, poles, and powerlines. Always pan the camera left and right to make you are clear.
