Congratulations to all the new drone owners 🎉

Thank you - you made this detailed video 2 years ago.... yet its still helping the beginners... so massive thanks to you.

Thank you Ed. Your tutorial is absolutely perfect. I learned so much from this that my family and I are ready to fly.

You do a very good job of introducing this Mini 2 to beginners. Keep up the good work! I purchased my Mini 2 when first came out and still learning great functions on this drone. I had a Phantom 3 Pro before this and didn't need all that size and this was a perfect replacement for it.

Speaking from the future obviously, but DJI now has some updated firmware for the Mini 2 batteries, so make sure to insert every battery you own into the drone and power it on to update the firmware before you fly.

Also please keep in mind that this update will cause the batteries to self-discharge to 70-60% over the course of several weeks if left unused, even if they're left in the drone or powered battery carrying case. This is normal and helps preserve the battery life significantly.

One of the best YouTube tutorials I've seen. As a retired teacher and journalist, your content is high and the ego is low... the result is time well spent. Please keep it going. Thanks!

Hi Ed, very comprehensive video. Definitively this was the best one to guide me in the Mini2 setup. Thanks

[Gedelinagadumpy]

Excellent walk thru - thank you! Waiting for my wee Mini to arrive 🤗

[AnniesWonder]

Thank you so much Mr. Ed Ricker, I just purchased my mini 2 and still in doubt about flying. I was looking for videos for safety flying setup and only your video explained clearly to me. Specially tha RTH Altitude is the most important of all. I am afraid of crashing my drone on trees haha, before landing. Now, am going to the part 2. Thank you once again!

Best beginners guide I've found, and I've looked at loads, Thanks Ed great job mate, Very helpful indeed. 👍

[YettiAutoDetailing]

Thank you for this video. I'm getting the Mini 2 for Christmas and am nervous about the first flight. This along with part 2 have put my mind at ease.

[ramsfan]

Excellent excellent video. I have flown the DJI phantom 4 and just recently got the mini 2 and you pointed out a couple of things I never used before one of them being the gps map in the bottom left corner for shortest distance home by looking at that. Nice 👍

[alfbaldwin]

I am very much a novice. And had a controller failure. So, a new controller and a few issues as I try to get things back to normal. This includes watching videos all over again! You have done an amazing job with this video! Great job. Thanks 🙏

[samdelaet]

Man thanks so much for making these vids. I’ll be getting my Mini 2 this weekend.

[KamalDev]

Great video and very helpful for the ones who are getting started with Mavic Mini 2. Thanks Ed!🙏

March 2nd, 2021. I can't stop flying my mini 2. This thing is so addictive. Day, night, I don't care. And I haven't taken it out of Cine mode because for now that is WAY fast enough, it's still on the 1080 settings, and it takes GREAT Video. Get the combo pack. Well worth the money. It's so easy to fly. And the carry case that the combo pack comes with is really nice. And the Blade Strap is cool. Yeah. Best money I've spent in years. And Video's like these make it so much more fun. Thanks for a Great series of Video's on the mini 2. I'm loving it.
