Thanks, best beginner guide I’ve seen!!

[alexandrzatonsky]

That's such "BS free" video, man. Really appreciate this.

[robertstrickland]

This video is best i have seen when comes to the DJI Air 2S. It was very informative and easy to follow you as you described the setup of the drone. I had a Mavic Pro so i learned to fly on that, however i sold it and now i want to get back into another Drone and The Air 2S is my choice. thanks for the outstanding video

[shanestefanski]

What a great drone this one is! And thanks for the guide! It's a comprehensive tutorial even experienced ones can learn so much stuff here, thanks man!

[ericcole]

Gonna watch this again soon with drone on. Haven't adjusted much on my air2s yet. Great vid

[thomastessier]

Very good video for this drone, I decided to get the Mavic Air 2S based on your recommendation, can't wait to get it and get started.

[SoundSpeeds]

How nice of you to make this video and release it now. I'm getting dangerously close to impulse buying this drone using your links. Question: Are the low noise props really worth it?

[carltoncain]

Luckily, the air 2s is not that hard to figure out but I still appreciate the effort you put into creating this video! It's such a big help!

[stefanpetersen]

One of the best tutorials so far, got my air 2 s yesterday and it was really helpful even if this is my third DJI drone, fyi. those three drones was not crashed but sold... Great videos you post on YouTube. Thanks a lot and cheers From Thailand

Outstanding video Jake! Many thanks for putting together this methodical and easy to follow tutorial. I just purchased my first drone (Mavic Air 2S) after years of flying RC helicopters and like everything there is a learning curve with these drones with plenty of information to absorb. I was developing my own “self-paced” training program but your video was really helpful to get me started. 😎

[gregsmith]

Thanks for the walkthrough! The Master Shot is quite the drone trick so to speak! Another fun thing to do on your drone!

[MuddyRuttzz]

Thanks for the great video! Just got my FJI Air 2S Drone and was intimidated just taking it out of the box. Haven’t flown it yet but I’m glad to know it has a tutorial. I’ll use that first.

*Just got my Air 2S, really excited can't wait till the batteries are charged. AFTER ALL THE OTHER VIDEO TUTORIALS, this was by far the best. I found it to be simple but did not lack any details. 【I subbed】*

[martinblack]

The most informative video I have found

[allanw.gackstetter]

Jake….. I’ve been looking at videos a good part of the day and I have to say I feel like I should pay you something for one hell of an outstanding performance Outstanding my friend outstanding thank you so much😊

[ornulfkittelsen]

Thanks Jake, this was an amazing video. I have charged my batteries and RC, but have yet to fly. With this, I totally feel more prepared. Awesome.

[karlovepost]

Thank you so much for this video. I have just bought a DJI AIR 2 S and think it was very well explained how it works. When it gets a little warmer in the weather, I will take the drone out and test it a bit myself as well, with good inspiration from your video. I have now started subscribing to your channel, and will be watching through many more videos that you have made. Thank you so much again, wish you all the best!

[meroamingaround]

Thank you for all your review and feedback. today I finally got it. Watching your video to learn it :)

[mlr]

A great tutorial from a beautiful state, MUCH appreciated. You’ve included a PRETTY FAST rundown of a LOT of APP info. Have an A2S incoming in a couple days. Looking forward to it! Subbed…

[lyndasteel]

Thankyou Jake. Awesome video. I've just upgraded from a mavic mini 2 to the mavic air 2s. Amazing in the wind here in Western Australia! Thanks for all the tips. Very clear, and well documented.
