Thank you so much, I was just about to cook my drone in the toaster oven.

I love that you were discussing more on the creative side and Aldryn more on the practical side. Awesome collab!

Yep, should have used maps (tip #9) yesterday. Was over the middle of an 8000 acre lake w/ 38% battery. Using the camera, I started flying back to what I thought was my shore line. About a minute later I realized I was headed for the opposite shore that looked very similar to mine. Used RTH and all ended well. Maps function for sure next time.

Another tip could be to make sure you dont forget to press "stop" recording after you are done shooting a video because if you land and shut everything down without pressing stop recording your video file will be corrupt and won't play when you go to take it off the memory card.

I haven’t ordered it yet, but I want one. I’m going to watch all the videos first to make sure I don’t destroy the thing on the first day! thanks Jeven!

Also, most car hoods are tilted, which makes the drone take off at an angle -- this will occasionally make your drone crash. Learned that one the hard way!

You boys are what make youtube great . Thank you both, First Class !

[marioarias]

Good tips. I took a circle shot with my mini 2 at sunset and the lens flare was the best thing about it 😅

[kongvang]

Super helpful guys! Just picked up the Mini 2!! Can’t wait to fly!

[TriniWeekes]

Great tips. The good thing is this can apply to all drones. Great job guys.

Got mine today and I'm very impressed with it. I have the Mavic 2 pro & mavic air and suspect this little thing is going to get used the most out of those. Bought it for hiking & wild camping expedictions as it's so tiny. Its much better than I anticipated it would be.

[timschulz]

Thanks guys, I’ve got a few hours under my belt with my parrot bebop 2 but decided to take the plunge and purchased the mini 2 . Great advice for us new to the mavic family.

My two favourite drone channels in one video! Great content gents

[MarkSmith-Uzor]

Thanks alot bro I always wondered why 4k was only for videos now I can happily snap with 4k!!😊

Mistake 5...hand launching. I would also recommend having the camera facing away from you, as it was during this demonstration. Newbies might not have noticed that. If the camera is facing you, the controls will seem reversed to you. So, wind to your back and camera facing away from you. And it's even more important for hand landing.

[royevans]

The map tip is great, thanks. I will definitely be using that feature a lot from now on.

[miron]

Not gonna lie I got my mini 2 a few days ago and took it oit like 3 times, and now wtaching this video makes me feel like a smartass because I thought of the flares the wind while takeoff and the map return, but still I learned so much more from this video, for example the 4k quickshots and the time of day. Thanks for all the advice!

[mattstrickland]

Great video and great tips. Id like to add to this by sharing a mistake i made when I first started flying my MP1 4 years ago. When you lose your video feed on account of many ways it can happen doesn't mean you lost control of your done. I made the mistake of thinking if I lost video signal that I also lost all signal and when I had my forward stick pushed I didn't even realize that I was keeping my forward stick pushed and I almost ran into a hotel because the wind was pushing the drone off course and towards a tall hotel and if the video hadn't come back on I would have hit and crashed it

[VOCATUS]

Excellent video guys! So (at 58), I never had a drone and my mini 2 arrives Tuesday. Consequently, I have a typical "dumb" question. Can I switch modes from sport/cine/normal "on the fly" or do I have to stop the drone flight first?

[AfricanSunProductions]

Great video. I've been flying for years but it's still worthwhile to watch. Thanks forna great video.
