I am 85 and just got my first drone the mini 3 . After watching your excellent tutorial I confidently went into the garden and had a very successful first flight. You are a gifted teacher thank you.

Video tutorials don't come any better than this. Nothing showy, just clear and concise required information. Thanks so much.

One of the best tutorial videos on YouTube. Clear. Nicely paced. No stupid music.

We bought my daughter a DJI Mini 3 for her birthday and this tutorial was instrumental in getting us up to speed on the drones features, updating, etc. Thank you for the very concise walkthrough of everything. This is one of the best YouTube walkthroughs I've seen for any product!

[andreabyron]

this is the best tutorial i’ve ever seen. i’d trust this man on anything. thanks

[AndrettiGTO]

I’ve had my Mini3 Pro for over a year now. Only watched your video now and it’s by far the clearest, perfectly paced tutorial I’ve watched.
Thank you so much for your efforts putting this together! 😊

Costco is having a sale on the Mini 3 bundle. After watching, I'm going to buy it tomorrow. Thanks for the tutorial and tips.

[MillaExplores]

Great tutorial! This was super clear and will come in handy as I'll take my Mini 3 for its first flight 🤩

[kalervohamalainen]

Very very good. Clear. No stupid "music".

[HughMessenger]

Thank you! I'm a drone noob, been wanting one for years, finally pulle the trigger on a Mini 3. I watched this video twice thru, the night before it arrived. It told me everything I needed to know to get up and running, stress free, and have a great first day. Perfect beginners guide, no fluff, just the essentials.

Phenomenal Video! Thank you for the detailed explanation! Waiting on Delivery of the Mini 3 Fly more package! Can't wait to use it for my Channel!

[peterliljenberg]

One of the best tutorials I've ever seen - thank you so much for making my virgin drone flight easy, safe and fun!

[kayberry]

Thank you Sean! I love your work - always clear, always lucid, always concise, always easy to listen to. You should be teaching online school classes for everything. Part of the secret must be your lack of ego. I don't want to look at the endless talking faces which dominate Youtube tutorials and reviews. Nor do I need song and dance or comedy routines. I just need you.

[dariushunt]

Awesome tutorial... Im off for my 1st flight now! Definitely more knowledgeable and confident thanks to this. Much appreciated

[carlupthegrove]

Well done... your pace is perfect and you cover everything at just the right level. I'm a new owner and a new drone pilot so this is super helpful.

[davidstadille]

Because of this high quality tutorial I have decided to purchase a Mini 3. Thank you for taking the time to make this. I'm going to use a Mini 3 to photo document the remains of an old bridge just outside of my home town of Salinas. We have 8, 500 members on our local history page on FB and I think they will just love to see this.

[francishung]

Even after reading the user’s guide, I was still confused. This video was incredibly helpful and got me started. I successfully flew the drone around the living room and plan to take it to the field for a test flight after. Thank you!

[charliewatson]

Honestly. Best tutorial I’ve ever seen on YouTube. Thank you.

Were you a teacher in the past? You can teach, my friend!

[dylancleveland]

Just got my Mini 3 last night, charged and updated it, and about to take it for my first flight this morning. so I came back to this video and watched that last half. thanks for a great guide, man. looking forward to learning more about aerial photography and videography.

[richardterweele]
