Mine is arriving in the next few days. Upgrading from my Mavic Mini which I've had since Christmas. Mini was a fabulous first drone but I need something bigger and more powerful (you haven't seen bad weather until you've seen the west coast of Ireland). Using my mini to film videos for my rowing club and general adventures. One thing to note though was recently I got some fabulous footage of a friendly dolphin which lives in the bay. The mini was so small I managed to get just 4 meters above its

Fun fact: switching the controller stick configuration makes the drone easier to control I feel because it becomes like a console controller in a fps game.

In a console game, We move around with the left stick and we turn around with the right stick in a console game. This makes the learning curve easier to manage =)

Beautifully presented step-by-step unlike any other video on Mavic Air 2. You took off and landed well with your amazing presentation. It's going to soar to greater heights. Thank you. Helps me a lot.

Ordered this last week. Got the fly more combo as well. First drone. Excited is an understatement!
Cheers for the review 👍

[paulohanlon]

Awesome. I've just received my Mavic Air 2 combo and I've been too scared to try it out but this will certainly help and watching your video has given me some confidence. Note - I've never had or flown a drone before and to be honest I was even too scared to take the gimbal cover off! Great clear and helpful video :)

[masterpogi]

The best and the most detailed tutorial! Thank you!!!

[khalidskalli]

You are very good in teaching Sir, very much appreciated ...

[TheArtOfBe]

I love this dudes approach. No fluff just good information and good sound quality while delivering information.

[nsartain]

I cant wait to get mine, upgrading from the Mavic Mini, and the Mavic Air 1, this is going to be a great addition to the party. I hope to make even more engaging videos with it.

I bought this unit yesterday. Yesterday I set it up, indoors; today I launched it for the first time ever flying one. It was so easy to fly! I made one mistake however, I calibrated it by rotating it the wrong way. I didn't know at the time but I couldn't view anything through my unit camera. It recorded ok but I couldn't see where I was going. About five hours later I discovered that when I calibrated it, I calibrated it by spinning it clockwise instead of counter clockwise. This makes all the difference if you want everything to work properly. Aside from that, this is a fantastic drone! I can't wait to begin experimenting with all its capabilities.

Very well done- thank you! Nice pacing. Comprehensive, yet moves right along. Good tips and nice tone. I also noted no lame attempts at humor and no non sequitors. As Arnold said, "I'll be back"....

[svjuliet]

This was a fantastic beginner guide! This is my very first drone, which I bought to improve the content on my YouTube sailing channel. I just received my Mavic Air 2 today, and with the help of your guide I'm already out there flying and taking a few shots. Looking forward to viewing the rest of your videos on this drone to help me become proficient. THANKS!

[ironman]

I liked this video because it doesn't overload you with the entire load of information at once. Just enough to know how to get off the ground. Nice Thank you.

[gray_wolverine]

Thank you for sharing this information. I just ordered one so I'll be a first time user. I'll be following you to learn much more. Thank you again.

[tomtaheny]

This is best video for beginers very thorough and complete. DJI should use this

[MakedonijaTexas]

I unpacked mine and I am setting it up while watching your video. Thank you

[Canadazeus]

Mine is enroute! My only experience is losing a drone on 1st flight, landing in several trees, running into a brick wall at full speed, and damaging myself with props. So I'm watching newby videos. This is the best by far. Professionally explained with excellent speed and clarity. Not a single Um or Ahhh! I'll be watching all of yours. Great job!
