DJI Mavic Pro | ULTIMATE BEGINNERS GUIDE | Watch Before You Fly

This is a DJI Mavic Pro Beginner's Tutorial. I recommend watching this video before you fly your Mavic. It has helpful information that I wish I knew before I tried to fly the Mavic. I included my 20 top tips to know before flying the DJI Mavic Pro. Feel free to skip to the relative topic as I've listed the timestamps below for each tip. If you liked this video, please hit that Like button and share this video.

Gear Mentioned in the Video:

- DJI Mavic Pro

- SanDisk Extreme Pro 64 GB MicroSD Card

- Lens Hood - Option 1

(Please note: The sides will come into view when you quickly yaw/pitch or in sports mode)

- Lens Hood - Option 2

I'm from TOKYO JAPAN, I've been living here for a long time. I'll be your Tokyo Travel Guide, taking you to the spots I love as well as showing you what to do all around Japan and maybe sometimes overseas. I'm also into Tech so you'll see a few videos about my drone and other cool toys I discover. In short, the channel is all about what I Love, Japan, Food, Travel, Tech and most likely coming FROM-TOKYO, my home.

Man - THANK YOU for this video

Love it. Not just the comprehensive guide, but the location for the shoot as well.
Loving your content recently.

Had I not bought my Mavic, I may have never found your channel and that would have been a true waste.

Keep it up, and see you around Tokyo!

You're right, this is THE BEST GUIDE. Most of the beginners guides brush past the basics, either they aren't paying attention and assume "YOU KNOW"... thanks for helping out the Newbies.

[shirlsworld]

Wow this is the first of many many videos that walks you through the starting steps and shows you how to do it . GREAT VIDEO. THANK YOU

[vnunez]

Excellent tutorial. Easy to understand and right to the point. I like it! excellent advice for beginners.

[mhansen]

Great tutorial! It should be required viewing for all new Mavic owners.

[AudioGuy]

I am watching lots of YouTube videos on the Mavic Pro prior to spending the $1000 for this drone. Yours was easilhy one of the best since you made it very straightforward to understand. I will bookmark and watch again once my drone is delivered. Thanks

[nicolasf.molina]

Finally... someone who gets to the point without wasting your time .... thanks dude!!!

[frenchorcatrainer]

About to buy one of those amazing drone, and your video was one of the most helpful beginner guide I found on YT. Thanks !

[raceharrison]

Finally someone at my level, keeping only to facts without "fill talk". Thank you, great tutorial. You got a new subscriber. Keep up the good work!

[warrenvchambers]

Had my mavic now for 1 month. Your video was pretty useful.
Thanks

[TopsMiah]

Brilliant guide, I just bought my mavic Pro and started shooting for my YouTube channel. This will help me so much. Looking forward to your future video's

[WillEDC]

As a beginner, this is good stuff that I have learned during the process. The basic must know

[Adsventures]

fantastic straight to the point video. well done.

[juancgarcia]

Thank you very much for your time and effort to share your own experience. Do not pay attention to the bad comments. There is always people with low spirit, lack of gratitude, who always look for any room of opportunity to criticize. I ask to those ones: what in your life have you shared with others, other than your negativism?

[OhChristmas]

You're such a great speaker all details thanks a lot! Hoping to see more drone tutorials in different terrains like over water (launch from boat).

[sandracundy]

As a newby to DJI i found your video very informative and it got me started and helped to refine my flying check list. Thank you for such great tips.

[charlesingram]

Thanks for quite a few tips others haven't mentioned, especially how to launch and recover without actually touching ground. Especially useful for launch and recovery from my boat! Also great, concise presentation and quality video.

[jonathangeyer]

Well done Paolo. I really enjoyed your video and interesting tips. I bought my Mavic Pro yesterday, this video brought me up to speed super quick. Thanks for your effort to make information like this more accessible and understandable.
Cheers,
Jonathan

[nyhhak]

Well done! Very informative tutorial !

[Yakable]

Thanks a bunch. This video helped me out a lot. I have watched several of the beginner/opening or out of the box videos, but yours has been my favorite.
