Something I learned that none of these guides tell you. If you live in America, call State Farm! Tell them you want to start a personal article policy on your drone. You provide them with proof of purchase, they get you a quote, which is $60 a YEAR for total coverage up the $3000, with $0 deductible. You pay your $60, you fly with peace of mind. If you total your drone, whether its your fault or not, you call them, they write you a check for the full amount, and you even get to keep the drone. I've only had it happen once, but not only did I get a check for $1799 and change, but I also sent the broken drone out to DJI, who as it turns out, were able to fully repair the drone for about $800. Now I have a drone I use when I feel like I may never see my drone again, and a brand new drone I use at all other times. The only caveat is that you can only use that policy twice. If you total 2 drones, they will charge you $60 again for a "new" policy.

One of the best video tutorials I've found on this subject so far. Straightforward and to the point with no unnecessary fluff. Thank you, Dovey, for your effort.

This is an absolutely PHENOMENAL video. Especially when considering this drone has not even been out for a week. I'm watching this as my mini 4 is in transit and you have already helped me a ton. Thank you.

I just got this drone and this has been the most comprehensive guide I’ve found! Watched it all and I’m so excited & confident to start using it now 😊 Thank you so so much!

You deserve all the joy and happiness in this world. Such patience in explaining each and every thing. Whole hearted regards and love.. Great work.

One of the best tutorials on drone shooting I´ve ever seen! Despite its length being over an hour I was eager to follow from start to very end. Very happy to come across your channel!

I just bought the mini 4 pro because my girlfriend suggested it for our trips and I arrived to your guide by chance and for beginners like me is just fantastic, I really appreciate your time, effort and clarity, thanks a lot!

Just wanted to say thank you.
This was a fantastic video, especially for someone new to the world of drones. You covered topics in more depth than most videos I have watched so far.
Again, thank you.

I don't usually comment and I don't usually watch a 1 hour video on YouTube, but this is incredible! Every second is fun and I'm now super interested in getting a drone! I wish I could express my gratitude with more than a comment!

Wow so much info and so relevant... I just bought my 4 PRO yesterday! Getting it ready to go this is going to make my first flight very awesome! I keep needing to take breaks as all this info makes my head spin! This is great!

I just bought my first drone (Mini pro 4) and have seen a lot of videos, but this is by far the best tutorial have witnessed. I have learned a lot just from this one video and appreciate the time and energy you put into this. I feel like I am ready to give it a go now!

What an amazing quick, comprehensive guide to the Mavic mini 4 pro!
Thank you

I've been watching a ton of drone videos recently, trying to get some ideas of basic and advance settings while preparing for my first flight. This is the best video I've seen. I did not waste a single second of my time watching this video!!! Thank you!!!

I only started flying drones last January. So when I saw how the Skydio was so good at following the subject and also had a great obstacle avoidance, I wanted one. But it wasn't available anymore. So I looked at other drones trying to get the same characteristics, but none of them worked as well... until now. The DJI Mini 4 Pro has all those talents and much more. Thanks you DJI!
Skydio... you had your chance.

I have not watched this yet, but having a 75 minutes guide up already, is fantastic :-)
