This is not just for beginners. All Mini flyers should review this video before their first flight. This is really excellent work Ed!

[markkoller]

I usually just jump in and try things, I’m glad I took the time to watch your tutorial. You saved me from a crash and burn.

Many years ago, make that decades, I used to fly competition RC aerobatics. Congratulations as this is the best and most complete introduction to drone flying I have seen.

[tonytubini]

I'm so pleased I watched this before my drone arrived, I'm a 71yr old and VERY inexperienced drone pilot and only flown a couple of cheap toy drones before. I thought I'd get something a little better while I still tread the daisies just waiting for my refurbished Mavic Mini to arrive thinking it would be like the toys until I saw how comprehensive the program is. Your excellent video has shown me how wrong I was by thinking my Mini was going to be like the others, I had no idea how much was in the program but now after watching this I at least know what I'm in for, very exciting, thanks so much.

I have to add my voice to this because I was so blown away by your tutorial. I’m getting my Mini next week and you have resolved all the nagging little questions l’d been wondering about. Thanks for a great presentation!

[dewhitem]

I have been flying drones for a couple of years and watched a few tutorials. You never stop learniing and your video is one of the best .

[chiangmaicharlies]

Listen here comes the echo! This is THE BEST simple mini drone tutorial. Cannot fault it. I look forward to learning more via your videos. THANKS.

[TonyChesh]

Just bought my Mavic mini and watched this excellent tutorial which is essential for every one. Thank you Ed, intelligent, clear and concise.

[johnk]

Ed, compliments on an excellent beginner video. One thing that makes it so amazing is that some that will watch it have yet to see any of your videos with FPV drones. To see that much talented experience be able to explain the basics to get started in this very effective manner is fantastic. Thank you

[iangreen]

I'm going to watch this again (in one session) before I do my first flight, now that I have managed to charge both the drone and the controller, which is what I was initially looking for information about, when I began searching YouTube for DJI Mavic Mini tutorial videos.

[zonumev]

This is one complete, comprehensive, very well narrated, and chock full content video for us newbies. Excellent!!!

[sambellina]

Saving this video for a refresher when the weather turns nicer. Best one I've seen.

[robertlawrence]

Never flown a drone but having seen this I have lost the trepidation that I previously had. An excellent tutorial.

[extremelydave]

OK Mr Ed, I'm a little late on the Mavic Mini bandwagon so I have seen a LOT of Youtube videos about this little gem. Here's the reason I comment on YOUR video.... This is that way it SHOULD be done!! Clear, concise, detailed info but NOT overdone. This is the kind of video I personally look for.... teach me, don't just show me that you are so Well done sir. Happy flight paths to

[tjonessc]

Always learning something! - I have watched alot of these mini vids but this is the first that mentioned that the unit has what I would call "return to me" as I plan to use mine off my boat so thats a huge feature. Thanks!

[edwardray]

My Mavic Mini arrives tomorrow, for the last 2 days I've been absorbing as much info as I can about this little beast. By far the best of the lot is this video, actually I'm going to watch it again while having lunch. Thanks so much I now feel I am prepared to unbox and fly immediately.

[vinhha]

I honestly I do like to watch your vids... since last year when I first start playing and getting to drone world... wow.. it’s been a year and I still keep watching... keep it’s good work Sir, yes.. I’m on the way to get the Mini.. but I think ... I don’t know may be I get Evo.... I haven’t seen Mini yet, only on line order.. even Best Buy still have to order... but I been love Evo since last year, any way... thank you for your time and money again to make a greatest video again Sir...

[roycox]

Really covered everything a first time Mavic Mini owner needs to get off the ground. Straight to the point without a bunch of useless info. I really appreciate your approach!

[davegesell]

Thanks for this. My Mini is arriving in the next day or two, and I’ve watched a lot of videos since I ordered it at the beginning of the month. You covered stuff that nobody else had mentioned, so well done, and thumbs up.
