    Ed Ricker you are a gifted communicator. By far the best intro to any drone I've seen, I feel like I've flown the thing. DJI should hire you to do their product demos. So much better than wading through 15 DJI official videos to see one feature per vid.

    After few month , few flies... I went back to view your vid again.... like ... go back to school... lol.... one thing I really love today Sir, and it’s my first time too... I fly my Air as far as I can not see it... soooo far... me and my son couldn’t see it... wow then I press RTH ... oh my lord... it’s amazing that this drone do... landing right my feet....amazing amazing...

      This technology is truly the epitomy of future. A lot of people don't really know what they're dealing with but it is truly magical and beautiful. In my opinion, it is a very exciting thought to have a drone with such a professional camera that can take cinematic footage using a professional camera. No matter what drone you would get, just always remember that it is always worth the money.

  • @GHOOGLEMALE
    @GHOOGLEMALE 2 роки тому +3

    Watched part 1 & 2 - Best beginner instruction yet. Its old school this model now (I was given this Drone by a mate) but the APP seems to work for lots of DJi so is just as relevant. Off to try out Ed's instruction, I feel a lot more confident in getting going with it than I did before (and I reckon my mate would have learnt a lot from these 2 vids). Good job Mr Ricker..

    Ed, I am about a year or so behind the cutting edge. However, I would like to extend a great big Thank You for a great video. Just what a novice like myself needed. I watched both installments, and now have a bit more confidence in what I can do with my 'New' Mavic Air. Just waiting on two other batteries to show up, and I'll be heading to the field to fly her. Thanks again for covering everything, making it easier to understand what I got myself into!

      Anyway, thank you again. Couple days ago I was doing initial setup and I was amazed again how easy you made it for us - beginners. Have a good day.

  • @jasong3021
    @jasong3021 6 років тому +5

    Both tutorials were very helpful for me because that was my first drone and I wanted to be as careful and cool as i could be. One week has passed with at least 3 flights per day and I’m comfortable with the drone. As you said practice is the key. Thank you for the helpful videos.

    @johntzanis 6 років тому

    The best one I have seen. None of the other tutorials I searched, about 10 videos really show you basic explanations how to take off and land and the basic settings. They just go through settings and then you see them flying a drone. They assume you know how to take off and land which is not a great assumption when you are a beginner and have never flown the Air before. We need someone to say, press this and press that and if possible show us.. Again, really great job getting us in the air.

  • @wdorsa
    @wdorsa 5 років тому +1

    The most informative tutorial I've yet seen on the Mavic Air. Just purchased one yesterday and tried the tutorials from DJI (They suck). Your two videos have tremendously helped me both with setting up my drone for the first time, and going out to get the feel on its maiden flight. Thanks! I truly appreciate the time you spent on putting together these two videos.

    Thanks Ed...just got my Mavic Pro a couple of days ago and I´m soaking up all the vids to make sure I don`t crash into someone´s barbecue party. I`ve watched a few vids on gesture mode but it was all crap and no one seemed to know what they were doing and nothing worked. This vid was really helpful and certainly has made my life easier. Thanks again from an ex-pat Brit living in Germany...I´m off now to fly around the neighbourhood to see who has the most beer at their barbecue ;-))

I bougt the mavic air 5 or 6 Years ago and do some flights at holydays then I nearly forgot the Mavic air because of the changeing regularies (drone licence and insurance in germany ) somewhere at my office and I forgot how to operate this nice little thing. Now I will start again. Thanks for making and sharing the video.

    There's a myriad of instructions about getting started on the Mavic Air. I must've seen almost of all of them and by far, Ed Ricker's tutorial proved to be the easiest, clearest and most comprehensive tutorial I've reviewed. There are lots of information here hardly covered by some who's seemingly speaking to an audience who might already had some experience with it, and not to a novice who just had the chance to handle it for the first time. Thanks, Ed. Now on to click the Subscribe button for more innovative videos.

    I wish there was a video that more explains using the quick shots and also the blinking light on the drone. Good video thanks so much for doing that.
