Great colab guys and fantastic info, it's great to hear this from guys as experienced as yourselves, shows how easy it is to forget basic stuff and how important it is to have those preflight checks thanks Jeven and Aldryn 👍

[ChrisHarden]

I’ve been flying for a year now and I’m always keeping an eye out for your drone videos so I can continue to learn how to capture great video from flying my drone. As always, thanks for your videos, Jeven!

[karlhouser]

Great collab guys! I've been flying drones for quite a while now but I still learn a lot from these infos! Thanks!

[Miki-mwby]

Glad this collab happened (again). Quality info and tips right here. Always learning from you guys. Can’t wait to fly my own Mavic 3!!! Hopefully soon…

[ToUItz_Popa]

Great information I’m liking all the collaborative videos with other respectable YouTubers. Keep up the good work Jeven! 👍🏾

Good video going over the basics. Even if you have 100s of hours of flight time it's good to double check that these are apart of your checklist.

Thanks. Just got my Mavic 3. This is very different from my FPV builds, I'm not used to this stability!

[matiasacevedob]

thanks. some refresh tips are always welcome

[RonaldBrown]

Great collab with Flypath, and plenty of great tips in this video.

[KeyserTheRedBeard]

intense upload Jeven Dovey. I broke that thumbs up on your video. Always keep up the amazing work.

Thanks for releasing this today. This morning I crashed my sole Mavic Mini into a tree. Dumb mistake on my part and I'm totally bummed. The drone is trashed. It's makes me feel a little better to see some experienced pilots making mistakes too.

Also something to mention is that when you do updates you need to check and make sure the settings don't default back to basic settings. I learned a valuable lesson in Mexico City Mexico 2 weeks ago, when shooting in another country check to make sure what standards (metric/feet). I assumed that I was 120 feet out when setting up a shot only to learn after my drone crashed into a building that my drone was in meters, so I was actually out almost 380 feet ugh ugh ugh. I wasn't allowed to recover the drone, but oh boy what a valuable lesson.

I'm new to drones :D (DJI AIR 2S user here) but I have to say that I love how you guys collaborate with each other in these kind of videos. No dumb competition and free hate like in other segments (like gaming - where I come from). 10/10

[dronebuzz]

Thank you Jeven and Aldryn! Excellent work! Tony ;-)

[joelhoobyar]

Great advice. Another doozy to watch out for is very thin wires or fishing line (especially near water). My props got caught in some nearly invisible fishing line in some branches near a pond and barely managed to land it and untangle the line. Hence the wisdom of LOS.

Great teaching! Can you elaborate on ND filter more? I was told by others to always use ND filter for video except night time or sunset and to set ISO 100, shutter 50 of sec if shooting 24fps. Thank you

[DeeInvisible]

Good tips I’m fin be new to flying drones so it will be nice to learn all the basic good helpful video
