Just got my Mavic Air absolute beginner with DJI. This is really the best tutorial i’ve seen so far, not to fast and not to slow. No self promotion and straight to the point.

@@JerryMDean Don't buy the Spark! Only a 2 axes gimble., you will regret it. Also less fly time.

[@gazanddebq6802]

This is the BEST instructional video I’ve ever seen! I wish everyone could do it this way. Clear, precise and without all the preceding bs that you normally have to sit through. Congrats on an awesome KZbin. Jevon really knows his stuff.

[@HDV888]

Just got my Mavic Air my second drone from DJI. This is really the best tutorial i’ve seen so far, not to fast and not to slow. No self promotion and straight to the point. Thank you Jeven keep up the good work.

[@InformativeFisherman]

Thank you!

[@JeanLucLambs]

Really great instructional video and the best one ive seen on KZbin! It helped a lot Thank You. Keep up the good work mate.

[@davidlowe5946]

Watched this half a dozen times. Used it to set up my Mavic Air and today took the first few flights. NO problems at all, and it's an amazing drone! Thank you for the great instruction!

[@matglenday5428]

Thanks to people like you making the time to make life easier for others, learning as a first time DJI owner I was kind of getting lost having to go through the manuals but “Hallelujah!” This video has been a godsend, now up and about and look forward to watching some more of your videos and learning more about the little things this magnificent flying machine can do. Thank you Jeven

[@JoseSanchezCinema]

Just got my Mavic Air, and this has saved me a lot of time. I feel like I'm ready to fly now. Super useful video, thanks!

[@HereBeBarr]

You've done it again Jeven. My favorite Drone Instructor !!😆

[@JevenDovey]

Here Be Barr you gotta get this drone 😀

[@HereBeBarr]

After I crashed my DJi Mavic and got a used one to replace it.. may be a while for another purchase hahaha

[@plucas62]

Great job in explaining the Mavic Air! I learned a lot. Thanks

[@richtorgerson253]

Also be sure to check out the DJI store for awesome savings with the fly more combo pack with goggles! Big savings! ( i am not affiliated with DJI ) I bought the package I described :o)

[@benbrandley1090]

Good find Mees!

[@souettequinn4663]

THANK YOU!! THE most thorough step-by-step introduction I've seen. Can't tell you the number of days I searched and tried to figure out how to charge the controller....only to learn from you that there was an adaptor. My adaptor had slid out of sight in the box and I about went nuts trying to figure it out. I appreciate your noting this was a video for BEGINNER level and I appreciate your going over EVERY single item on every device AND the DJI App. My day just got better!! ~Souette in Tennessee

[@WILDBILLY001]

Just got my very 1st drone, (Mavic Air), and this video was by far, the absolute most helpful out of all the others I have watched. Thank you for making this vid. You describe & explain things in a very good way, so that even green novice drone operator like myself can understand. I subscribed to your channel. Thanks again, and keep up the great work.

[@GoNZO-rs5oi]

Thanks for this in-depth tutorial man!👏👏✌✌

[@JevenDovey]

😀😀😀

[@johnk4959]

Thx man, just got my mavic air and this tutorial helped me out a whole lot. Fantastic video.

[@Supersonic8t7]

Thankyou mate! Just bought a Mavic Air and this video helped me understand where everything is and what it does inside the menus - priceless!

[@paulpak1]

Awesome video. Super helpful and thorough. Been thinking of Mavic Air as a first-time drone user. Was hesitant to take the plunge. This walkthrough will help me go through all of the steps without missing anything, as it's much easier to watch and follow along than read a manual with tiny 5 point font... Thanks Jeven for making this!

[@kurtbrooks7233]

Great video , just got my Mavic air and this was a big help.

[@ririlan2137]

So well done for a beginner like me.

[@JevenDovey]

👍👍

[@sp8273]

All your videos are so clear and helpful. Thank you for making these kinds of videos.

[@juancarlosgomez5389]

Dude!!!!! Your video is absolutly AMAZING!!! Instant suscription, just bought the Mavic air.... looking foward to see all your other videos and learn all i can do with this drone. Big shoutout all the way from Mexico.

[@glb6]

Best tutorial that I've seen for this beginner!

[@PauIlfrim]

Great beginners guide man. Just bought a mavic air and now I feel more confident going out there. Keep up the good work!

[@JevenDovey]

Have fun flying

[@alejandrogillette5392]

Thanks a ton for this guide! Even though I have read the manual a couple of times i was still left wondering where to start. This guide nade it much easier and clearer. Even though i have flown other smaller drones, this is not the same and requieres much more knowledge. Once again thanks!

[@JohnVuongnow]

Nice vid, just got my magic air and your video is a big help. Will be watching all your vids for more info.

[@gordroberts53]

Without any doubt this is the best how to beginner's guide I've ever seen on any topic. Really well done. Thanks for sharing. Like and sub for you today.

[@JevenDovey]

[@MrBikboi]

Great video, no nonsense, no watching a 20 minute vlog to get to the content with over exaggerated reactions. Helps a lot, got my Mavic Air Flymore combo for 500 CAD used today. Has never been crashed, only 50 minutes of flight time, original stickers and plastic are still on some of the parts and batteries are all working. So stoaked, was going to buy a Mavic Mini but having the extra weight because where I am wind is a big issue and having all features of the air I couldn't be happier for the price, it's almost brand new.

[@djkincaid]

Thanks for a comprehensive vid. A lot to unpack there.

[@IslandsOfFun]

I was intimidated to get a drone, but your video has truly helpful. Thank you for sharing!!!

I was intimidated as well and your video has truly made me more intimidated. That is A LOT of information! I've never done this before so I'm sure I'll be watching this video several more times until I get comfortable. That's a lot of money to screw up by not knowing what you're doing. Good presentation.

I a beginner, i've been flying the mavick air for two weeks without being able to figure out a lot of configuration items. Thanks to you fgreat video this has started to change today. Many thanks...

[@triphuxley2672]

Your to-the-point-ed-ness is excellent, your word choice deft, your command of English consummate, your eye-contact slightly hypnotic and your pacing/judgement on what to include and what to leave-out is mature, (and your video work is sharp.) Well done! Let's all hope that these qualities/skills serve as a guide for online tutorials on other topics by other posters in the future. Thank you and well done.

[@RunNGunPhoto]

I can't wait until I get my Mavic Air! Thank you Jeven for sharing all of this helpful info!

[@JevenDovey]

Glad it helped!

[@JevenDovey]

The Mavic Air is so good that I'm ditching my Mavic Pro and Spark. Perfect cross between the two :)

[@mcitservices5234]

Just send me your pro! I will tell everyone that it was one of the best KZbinrs and people out there! It does not hurt to ask. You're​ killing it. Keep up the great work!

[@lloydranola]

don't ditch your pro yet til you're satisfied with the range where you fly with the Air. I'm not getting the same range at all here in SF/Oakland where RF is crazy busy. I did sell my Spark though :-)

[@ScottBondradioflier]

Jeven Dovey I will be ordering the Mavic Air but I’m keeping my Spark. Great information, thanks for taking the time. I’ll have to revisit this video when my Air arrives.

[@tropicalcometmedia]

Just ordered the red one myself! It'll be my first drone!

[@kuatiogui]

would it have wifi interference if i plan to fly in the city among tall skyscrapers?

[@SlayerWalleye]

your video production looks so great and you explain it so well. I watched the whole thing even though i just have the Spark. Fun to see the different new features. I'm so impressed by DJI products and the DJI Go 4 app which has a nice video editor for on the go! thanks Man!

[@JevenDovey]

Thanks!

[@CraigsTechTalk]

Great Video Jeven. I learned a lot from your other videos when I got my Spark. I am looking forward to putting the information to work on the Mavic Air. Thank you.

[@joekaparkour2313]

Thank you so much man! This was very informative and thorough!

[@cero555]

Excellent guidance - thanks for this. I will need to watch it a few times as you really fly (pun intended) through the tutorial but it is very helpful for a novice like me. Just ordered my Mavic Air and have never flown before so very useful indeed. Thanks again.

[@heredownunder]

Excellent! Thank you! So hard to find info on this.

Amazing video. You are a wonderful communicator. I am an infrequent flyer prepping for a trip and this video has really helped me to make sure the drone is ready and I have refreshed my knowledge. Thank you sir. 👍

[@pnederve]

[@JevenDovey]

Yes it’s the perfect drone for beginners

[@sandboxaperture7013]

Went through numerous DJI videos and this one tutorial is 10 times better, more detailed and I was able to understand way more than ALL the DJI videos and tutorials. Thanks for this... AWESOME job!

[@Terminator2310]

Jeven, This is the best guide I've seen - it should be available on the Mavic site - excellent work, covering all the things you need to know when prepping and beginning to fly the Mavic Air - well done and thank you.

[@elberttownsell2902]

Great videos man, Jeven I greatly appreciate you, your beginners guide video for the DJI Mavic Air is so on point and easy to follow!!! I'm taking a few trips to Peru, Rome, Botswana (Safari) this year, I'm so lit!!!

[@deborahshapiro2283]

I love how you explain

[@Michigan91090]

Really good info for someone new to DJI and the app. The most thorough and complete I've seen so far. I had to rewind a few times because you moved through the options on the app so fast. I can fly pretty good but the app is a little intimidating to me. This helped a lot.

[@villagenumerique9085]

thanks for your videos help me a lot

[@roberte7872]

Jeven - Thank You. I just received this little guy and was completely confused with how to set it up. Your tutorial was clear, concise, and quick. I’ve referenced it three time now. Still lots to learn.

[@SeeChelleFilm]

This is the only (ooof maaaany) video that shows how to reset the resolution and frame, thank you so much it's been driving me nuts!!

[@markhudson2997]

Yes, I typically dislike beginner videos and even watched a few new air owners before I found yours. They didn’t show me what I needed and glossed over things like what button did they press etc. I watched yours and loved it. Subscribed to learn more

[@ask.q]

Thanks mate! A lot of great learning in this!

[@TheBazuko2001]

Man!!! That was a powerful video and with a lot of information for someone like me, that just unpacked my DJI Mavic Air. I will have to watch it about 20 times before risking going out with the drone. Thanks... I will continue watching your videos.

[@nsbancroft]

I have a Mavic Air on the way. Super stoked! Thanks for taking the time to make this video!

[@TheJeffrivers27]

Super helpful and much appreciated. Thanks!

[@paulgee3411]

Great tutorial on first setup. Thanks. Especially good for people like me who can't stand loads of waffle. Its actually a bit too quick in places, but it's easier to replay a few secs than to keep skipping fwd through repetition or constant digressions. I'm ready now for my new Mavic Air arriving tomorrow!

[@charlesdalton8961]

Thank you very much. Excellent presentation
