I'm only 8 minutes in, and I can already tell I made a good decision watching this video.

My Mavic Air 2 just arrived and it's still in it's packaging.

I'm so excited to go out and practice.

[abigjay]

Wow, just WOW, dude knows what he's talking about and knows how to talk to his audience. Bravo.

First-time drone flyer here. Thank you so much for going into this much detail. It's the best how-to video I have seen and I watched a bunch.

Whoa. This is literally the best how-to video of any kind that I can ever remember watching on YouTube. Just got a DJI Mavic Air 2 for Christmas, which is awesome but comes with essentially zero documentation out of the box. It points you at online docs, which are all slow-moving corporate sanitized docs and I’ll be here until next week reading those. Using those, took me several minutes just to find out how to charge the battery. This video jumps right into EVERYTHING you need to know, beautifully and efficiently edited, with no fluff. So much work went into this video. Dude, you are awesome. I just subscribed. Your generosity in sharing comprehensive info in an efficient and professional way is so appreciated. You made my day.

[PiersAkerman]

This is a must watch for anyone who buys a Mavic Air 2. A comprehensive and extraordinarily useful tutorial. So much to take in that you need to watch it, put into practice what you learned and then repeat. Watching this will take away many of the fears you might have when you launch your first flight.

Amazing! This is the most indepth, most imforative, explanation of this drone.. even the dji videos on how to don't come close to this. Subscribed Many thanks!

[tomburton]

What an excellent vid! I’m a drone newbie and have a new Air 2S here in front of me - and I’ve watched this vid twice already. Excellent, clear, concise, structured, not a wasted sentence. And a LOT of other vid makers across all fields could learn from this.

[matthewwickman]

Probably the single most informative Mavic Air 2 videos I’ve seen. You kept it simple and put your end consumer’s needs ahead of a specific timeline or agenda. Thank you!

[josiahjohnson]

Can I just say, I have been looking for a video like this and you delivered! Honestly, thank you for going into the video like how you did and I truly hope you get 1 million subscribers soon!

[redzeppelinuk]

Thanks for this Jeven. I watched your similar beginners guide for the Spark a couple of years ago and it set me up for two great years of flying. Just taken delivery of my MA2, so yours was the first tutorial video I looked for. Still love my Spark, but excited to see how this upgrade plays out over the next couple of years 🤘

[kawaimarin]

Dude this was super helpful, I just got my drone today and this literally was so informative!! Kudos

[mrbubblescarwash]

My best friend in the world has been flying drones for about 5-6 years, and he makes it look so, so easy. He is extremely gifted and can do anything. After years of 'thinking about it' I broke down and bought this drone... actually a birthday gift from my bride.

Getting it unboxed and setup was so undaunting, I was tempted to put it back in my closet and just think about it. This video single handedly is the most informative, easy to understand, step by step guide I've watched... and I've watched a lot in the past three days. I can't wait for it to stop raining so I can GO FLY!

[Shedz]

Great vid. Nice and concise instructions. I've just had my first flights on the MA2 today, and this was a great deal of help before I went out. Saved me a lot of time from tinkering to work things out. Thanks

[keyvanthomsenbamdej]

Truly awesome video, Jeven! Respect for all the energy that you put into this one. Just got the DJI Mavic Air 2 today, so literally saw your video from start to finish. Well done, and all the best, keep well. Best greetings from Copenhagen, Denmark.

[KANDARA]

All I can say, is thank you 🙏!!! This is what we need in YouTube .

[toliveandflyinla]

At 31:14 when the bees are attacking the drone and then you said "nobody is going to BUG me" ---- I felt that

[minetcafe]

I love this content. even my grandma can now fly a drone. best beginner's guide on youtube so far. thanks

[sarnold]

Finally someone took the time to do an in-depth App tutorial. Thank you and great video

Jeven. I am a brand "Newbie", and I am 12 minutes into this video. I'm a 59 year old "Born again" biker after a fallow (bikeless) period of 40 years - and the last time I rode (until last year) was 27 years ago - until I was "Born again". I have paused the video to just say, this is one of the VERY best "Tekky" videos that I have literally EVER seen. Your manner, presentation skill, awareness (of your audience) and professionalism is seriously - simply outstanding. Ride/ fly on Brother. You have an English / Half Irish fan - living in Cairo 😁 - until I retire back home next month - and will THEN get my Air 2 to take out on one of the bikes I have now accumulated. Nice one Jeven. Superb mate 👍

I was looking for a good tutorial on the Mavic 2. After finding your tutorial I did not have to look any further. By far the best, hands down.
