I just want to say, I am 51yo and I have been taught many lessons in life by many teachers. But you teaching us how to use this drone, is absolutely amazing. You have explained it so well, you need to teach teachers how to educate our children. Fantastic Work. This should be a paid lesson. Well Done

I am in my 89th year and have just purchased my first drone and thanks to you and your tutorial am almost flying like a pro so thank you and keep up the good work and by the way age is just a number

[Xobaer]

I have to say this was one of the best tutorials I’ve ever seen on YouTube. I feel so confident just by watching this! I now its time to practice 😅

[dougdavis]

Jeven, I don't get to fly often and find myself going back to this video to get the most out of my mini 3 pro. I can't tell you how much your time is appreciated in sharing this. I just wanted to say thank you.

[dougdavis]

Just wanted to say thank you for your time in making this! As a beginner it's really nice to have such a great resource for quick referencing if needed.

[adventuresandreams]

I'm completely new to drones, just unpacked my DJI Mini 3 Pro a few hours ago to begin the setup. Your video is simply outstanding, and I can't wait to head out for my first flight tomorrow, keeping all of your lessons in mind. I will check out your other videos as well. Thank you for this. You put a lot of effort into this tutorial.

[earonsotto]

Just got my DJI Mini 3 Pro and this is by far the most helpful and well put together beginners guide I've watched for this drone. Great job and thank you for putting this together!

[tommack]

Just received my Mini 3Pro, looked and looked and looked for a GOOD quality, understandable yet thorough instructional video and THIS is THE one! Very well-done, sir. Thank you for educating me and getting me into the air sooner and with confidence. Oh...and I'm 72 years old and started flying camera quads in 2015. You CAN teach an old dog new tricks.

[djfm]

A must-watch for anyone new to drone flying and particularly the drone mini3. Comprehensive run through of all the drone/camera settings 👍

[ashbrooks]

Jeven thank you so much for taking the time to create this informative and expansive guide. As someone who has always loved drones but never having actually felt the bug to buy one until the DJI mini 3 pro was announced this is in my opinion the most complete guide for someone like me who knows very little regarding its control that I have seen to date. Thank you once again.

love the kays cooking shoutout. she may not make the best food but she’s so pure

[GISkid]

I'm brand new to drones and literally stumbled upon your channel whilst searching for tutorials. First, I rarely watch YouTube videos all the way through, let alone YouTube videos that are an hour long... However, I found myself enraptured by your ability to inform without talking down to the viewer and with the incredibly well put together sequence of concepts and tutorials. Instant subscriber. I look forward to continuing to learn from your experience.

[TheNonnocere]

I can’t express enough how helpful this is for us beginner users. First flight today.

[randmpark]

I'm not typically one to add to an extensive list of comments that already exist, but wanted to say thank you for the amazing tutorial you've put together here. Great job at explaining the functions of the drone and remote without sounding condescending or going too far down the rabbit hole of information - all the while providing alternate videos for those who might be interested in really doing a deep dive into the options. Great job!

[BlackSully-zcbk]

Jeven - Just got my first drone a couple weeks ago, and watched this before my first flight, this one hour video was PERFECT. Now that I have a 15-20 flights under my belt, I watched it again and it was even better the 2nd time! Well done.

[aliozanerbektas]

You forgot to mention that subject tracking is only available when video is set to 30fps. I was having trouble why it wasn't working, it was the fps setting all along.

[LNew]

This is one of the most well done tutorials I’ve ever watched in my life, on any subject, period. Thank you!

[HouseGuide]

There is so much stuff here, I can't even retain all of it. What an amazing device.
And yeah as others have commented about the instructor, the video was super well executed. It is 1 hour long but I strongly believe it could have taken 8 hours or even a week to put it all together to get the script, words, English and filming all perfectly coordinated like a Hollywood movie not to mention the film editing. There might have been several retakes done for sections because many times you can easily fumble something up or miss something or not get the volume loud enough.
At least DJI should give him a free drone for this exceptional video.

[PJ-eemc]

This is an exceptional video. You did a great job of explaining complex features of the drone that might otherwise be intimidating and difficult to understand by new users. I am amazed by how far these drones have come. I built my first drone over 15 years ago when we were hand-winding our own motors to get things just right. Making the transition from 2 axis, servo driven gimbals to 3-axis brushless motor driven gimbals. Absolutely amazing stuff happening here. I confess that I have over 10 grand and hundreds of hours invested in a hand-built drone that is sitting in my attic (among others) and cannot do 10% of what this one does right out of the box. Although, mine did pay for itself very quickly as I built it specifically to produce an arial marketing video of a multi million dollar ranch which had never been done before. My ranch sold in 10 days partly because of the buzz created by this new "drone marketing" which was in its infancy. Nobody had ever seen anything like it before. That said, I could have done all of that and so much more with this tiny drone. Keep up the great work you are doing!

When I explain to someone the joysticks, I use the rhyme "up, down, spin around" for the left joystick and then tell them the right joystick is simply the direction you want it to move on a horizontal plane.
