DJI Mavic - Set Up & First Flight

The DJI Mavic Pro is still an amazing drone. If you are looking for a workhorse drone that takes amazing video, is easy to fly and very portable, the DJI Mavic Pro is worth considering. Of course there are newer versions out now, but the Mavic Pro is still a solid choice and the price has come down considerably. If you have a new Mavic Pro and want to see how you set it up and fly it for the first time, this video will walk you through that process.

Just got ours today, ordered total of 3 extra batteries and a GPC military grade case with cutouts for everything, really nice product and probably the best for the price

Just got 1 today. Ordered from DJI. They said it would ship after the 18th, and be delivered by 10:30 this morning; and it was. Thrilled. Great starter video.(and camera guy). Amazingly smooth video without having tripod mode on--no motion at all at 170'. Thanks!!

I've been flying DJI products since their VERY FIRST FLYING CAMERA ("drone"). I started out way back when Colin Guinn was the head of DJI America. I was at a NAPP conference and he was there and I got to meet him and I'll never forget, Colin was there to unveil the Phamtom 2.0 which had that big bulky camera connected to it (as opposed to the original Phantom which required you to purchase your own GoPro and attached it to the underside and had no gimbal to pan the camera. There is a mic on the GoPro so you'd hear all the annoying noises that the original, cheap, crappy props made). I have had literally every iteration of the Phantom series, 3 Inspires - 1 Inspire and 2 Insprire Pro Professional models. All that said, I LOVE LOVE THE MAVIC PRO PLATINUM so much. I could list the reasons but there's just so many great things about this little aircraft it'd be a very long list.

Kelly. Thx to you and your Son for the video. It's been very informative. I've always loved anything that flies.

My Son got me interested in drones a couple years ago and have wanted one I could fly since. Alas, I'm pushing 70 yrs. with one leg and a really bad spine it's been hard for me to justify buying a system unless it could compensate for my disabilities. After a few intermittent systems, my Son finally purchased a Phantom 4. He dropped by during Thanksgiving and flew it for me. He also down loaded a few videos he'd taken off the coast of Humbolt where he lives that are just breath taking. Needless to say, I was impressed but the system proved just too bulky for me. I'm not nearly the pilot that he has become and I certainly can't go around chasing the thing anymore. Then he told me about the Mavic PRO.

I did my research on the PRO and knew that this was the guy for me. I just ordered one along with an advanced kit offered through Drone World here in Ca.. It comes with two extra batteries, gang charger, carry case, extra chips... Just a load of extra doohickeys and thingamabobs. All for $1, 500. I'm really looking forward to using this little beast. That and it'll make one heck of a neat little high tech cat chaser (much too the chagrin of my poor cat Booger I'm sure). It's hard to believe the quality of technology that's been engineered into these little machines. Wish me luck and have fun with yours.

I have been searching videos on how to fly and this video is really the best so far. Thanks!

Important steps for new people always before flying: 1. Make sure you know how to return your drone to your home location if you loose sight of it.
2. Set the height higher than any building nearby in case you loose sight of it. 3. When it says low battery and suggests to return home, return home.
4. watch for airplanes etc.

I've watched loads of reviews, as a customer waiting for my mavic I found yours to be one of the best, straight forward to the point and informative.... thank you for taking the time

[visualpoet]

Thank you thank you and thank you!!!! You have saved me bunch of headaches. My brain was about to explode trying to figure out how to set up my drone, I was missing simple steps and my controller wouldn't light up until  I came accross your video. . J ... you are a life saver. You got yourself a new subscriber. Thank you!

Thanks for a good short introduction of the Mavic Pro.
I just got my new Mavic today after 7 weeks in order. (Denmark)

The batteries are being charged now, and tomorrow I'll get a new 7 "Tablet (Do NOT have Iphone)
And then I'm ready for first test flight for the weekend.
