I've been a teacher for about 30 years and found this to be a wonderful concise, clear and comprehensive guide to getting started. Very well done Sir! Now let's get flying!
Drones have been intimidating for me. I got an SE mini after watching this video. I followed all the instructions and didn't feel nervous about it at all. Thank you for this amazing tutorial!
I agree 100%. I'm just learning and AirPhotography's methodical and concise explanation helped me get in the air for the first time and quickly without any problems. Thank you AirPhotography !
I think this is an excellent guide especially for beginners. I remember the first time I bought a drone, I can't wait to get on with it and fly mine the way other seasoned pilots do! But the ugly truth is it's kinda overwhelming at first! That's why a tutorial like this is truly helpful!
I started with very inexpensive drones, my very first cost $7.00. I took I could from that cheap drone and from there bought another an another I was comfortable the basics. Finally I got the nerve to buy my first DJI and flew it like a pro. The biggest challenge is getting and knowing the controls and know how the drone flies. I have a long way to go still, but I’m over putting the drone in the air.
i might get this next month as a birthday gift, and i agree! so far it has been verry helpfull at showing me all the features as well as some other vids showing some of the limitations due to things like it being a wifi drone
As someone who panics, your advice on what’s to do in that situation was invaluable and has boosted my confidence. An excellent beginners guide video and I thank you for all of the trouble that you went to in making it.
This was an excellent intorductory video Sean so thank you very much. After a lot of deliberation I ordered my SE mini today and it should arrive in time for Christmas. I'll review this video again before setting off for my first flight. Thank you once again.
This video has been invaluable for me and I really appreciate the effort put into it. Two minor things that weren't mentioned though, the need to (and how to), calibrate the compass and that Battery care is quite complicated and worth researching. For a landing pad, even a large piece of flat cardboard will do. It'll be far better than starting in the grass.
I just purchased this drone. It was the last one and they had three 2 days ago and I couldn't believe they sold that fast. I can't wait to get this drone up in the air! Thank you for the information.
Very nice and simple explanations. It's how I like to teach. Your tone was pleasant as well, true Canadian style. lol I definitely needed the beginner nervousness going away reassurance. I'm afraid of heights and got vertigo when I first started. It went away the more I flew around. To me though, I'm not just nervous from the vertigo but it's also because I'm afraid to hurt someone with the drone accidentally or lose the drone. I'm glad that's a normal feeling. I just need to fly more and gain that confidence. Thanks for the video!
I've been considering a drone for a long time and came across the Mini SE combo at an affordable price . After watching your videos, I made my mind up, so thanks for a great tutorial .
I wanted to get into the drone photography for a while. Recently I bought a DJI mini SE to try it around. Your guide gave me all the info I needed to start. Thank you.
@@infinitetrex1127 I enjoy flying it occasionally, I watched a tone of videos about drone photography and videography but still do not feel like I overgrown it. This is still a great beginner drone!
bought one few days ago, as a complete amateur and never flown a drone before, I managed to do some great flying and great shots. I dont need better then this for amateur use.
Hi sir, I'm a beginner(dutch) This is the BEST TUTORIAL I've ever seen or could find! My compliments sir..THANK YOU🙏 Thank you for all the work you did to make this Great👍👍
I think the mavic mini and mini SE and mini 2 is perfectly priced, pro's and con's with all 3 models. Personally I'd forget about the mavic mini due to wind 4 rating, the onlybreason I would choose the mini 2 over the SE is the controller feels a million times better In the hand and uses ocusync 2. If your not too bothered about flying over 1 mile away, go for the SE and save well over £100. Personally I spent the extra money for a rock solid connection on ocusync 2.
Thanks Sean. I’ve just purchased a mini se as we are about to to a road trip around the north coast of Scotland and wanted to capture some different views. I was absolutely terrified about my first flight but after just watching your tutorial I can’t wait for the drone to charge and get out there. Very clear instruction and held my attention from start to finish. Again thank you so much 👍
Thank you for your video! We just purchased our Mini SE and found the printed information grossly inadequate. The detailed information in your video is exactly what we needed. We'll be reviewing the video several times as we learn all the ins and outs of this device.
As a complete beginner, I must say this was a very good and comprehensive guide to using this drone! Looking forward to receiving it in a couple of days!
A fantastic video! Thanks. I got my Mini SE today and had great difficulty figuring out even how to turn it and the controller on and off. Now I know. Of course, the temperature is 12 degrees F with a 30 mph wind, so I don't think I will be flying today. Maybe I'll rewatch your video.
I've just bought this UAV and the first thing i did was watch this video. Love how you broke it down. Can't wait to see things from a different point of view.
Great job Sean! Love this idea, bringing the Mini SE into the market for the lower cost price point! This will without a doubt put a ton of the toy grade companies on notice lol! DJI is brilliant! Good to see you! Take care!
I bought this drone yesterday and was a little apprehensive about using it as I’m a complete noob. This video gives very clear and concise step by step instructions that even my dog could understand. Thanks, very helpful video
I found this to be a good guide for someone starting out. Lots of good information. My tip I would add though is to be as far away from TREES and other obstacles as possible on your first flight! I thought it was strange to be showing a demo flight where you take off and land between trees. You also couldn’t actually show the complete return to home feature because it needed to land near trees.
Still awaiting for my first drone to arrive (DJI SE) and I can't thank you enough for this. I've learnt so much from this video, as an absolute newbie to DJI drones. The drone is still being shipped, but I've watched this video about 3-4 times already...so excited!!! Cheers!
Currently in the market to buy my first drone (which, after research, will be the DJI Mini SE). After watching many instructional videos this, by far, is the best and most comprehensive without being painfully long or inadequately short. Excellent job! Have flagged this for easy reference when I get my drone. Well done! Thank you!
Excellent video review / tutorial. It's really great to find someone who calmly goes through what's needed to get his audience up and running in a cool and calm manner, concise and to the point. Great job.
Just bought the Mini 2 SE. I’m an absolute beginner and found this video tremendously helpful, even though it’s not quite the same model drone. Can’t wait to get out for that maiden flight!
The kind of video I was looking for days. It's much better than guys behing a desk explaining how the drone works not showing a real flight! I'd like more details on camera control by the way but it's still perfect.
One thing g I would advise for new drone flyers is that you learn hand take offs and lands, that way no matter what the ground is like you are still able to take off and land, no need for landing pad or filling the motors full of dust and dirt
So I watched this again and did my first Mini SE flight. It was great accept midflight I decided to switch modes c to p then a screen came on for me to update while flying?! But it flew fine throughout. And landed fine. I had already updated previously. The whole DJI software is amazing ,I think smarter than my phone! Thanks for your video!
Love this video! I'm about as green as it comes to drone piloting and aerial photography/videography and this has gotten me off to a perfect start. You are now my go to drone guy! One happy new subscriber right here.
Just received my Mini. Without your guidance on setting it up, I would have been lost! Included instructions - what instructions! How to initially charge the batteries for starters. So, a big thank you. 🎉
Just want to say thanks as this was very concise, all questions, even the dumbest ones, are answered before you even think about it. A must watch on the side while unboxing.
Just got this as a Christmas gift. It’s our first drone. I was really nervous about our first flight but after your video I feel so much more confident! Great stuff! Thanks!
Cant wait to own one of these and will wait for the next video which is useful to beginner like me .Getting the basic first, scare I will crash it and waste money. Thank you.
I'm the kinda person who generally can't figure out how things work unless I have them in my hand, but this tutorial was done so well I feel confident that I could fly one of these gizmos right now. Nice work. Think I might get one of these. Looks fun!
Great guide.. flew this drone for the first time today. If you're a gamer who grew up playing on a controller you'll adapt very quickly. You can also change the control stick layout settings which I like, there's 3 modes and a custom setting for this. My first time flying a drone and have to say it's a weird feeling watching something you've paid good money for fly away from you lol the range is crazy!
@@AirPhotography Thx Sean, for a great intro. I have ZERO experience w. any drone, but am looking at the DJI mini SE….either the “basic” OR the “complete”. You mentioned near the start of your youtube video that the “basic” sells for $299 (I too am in Canada, and assume you were quoting Canadian dollars). Are you at liberty to mention where it’s available for $299?
Very good at explaining all you need to know about flying this drone. I have many drones. My new drone is the dji mini 3 pro. Looking forward to putting it in the air. I sure remember my first drone. I was very bad at flying it. But as i got used to it. Now when I am flying the drone, I am hardly thinking how to fly it.
Great Vid...super informative, comprehensive and well thought out. I'll be watching your other videos for tips as well. Thank you for taking the time to put it together. Very much appreciated.
Excellent video sometimes when watching tutorials it’s easy to lose interest but not with this one gave all the relevant information in the right order and kept me interested to the end a+

Thank you very much that’s much appreciated
No need to know you have been a teacher 30 years . For what ?_No relationship with the drone .
Thanks to let us know u r teacher.
@@nguoivietvu8593 I think he means he has experience teaching so he can recognize when a video does well to teach the viewers.
@@nguoivietvu8593 eugh
Nice comment mate, i agree top job on showing how the drone works :) going to get one because of this so thx.

@@darnell2710 that’s smart. I wish I did that for my first drone
Those instructions are the worse thing you can ask for when getting something you want but the instructions show things unclearly

Thank you for the most excellent and very best dji mini se video i ve ever seen!!!
Fantastic tutorial for raw beginners. Just got my SE and this is VERY useful. Many thanks for taking the trouble to make this.
Thank you for creating this beginner's guide. It's a clear step-by-step guide for new DJI SE owners like me. Good job Air Photography.

I was surprised the drone came with absolutely zero instructions so I'm glad I found your channel.
Thank you I’m glad you enjoyed it
bought one few days ago, as a complete amateur and never flown a drone before, I managed to do some great flying and great shots. I dont need better then this for amateur use.
It is indeed a pretty solid Drone
Hi sir, I'm a beginner(dutch) This is the BEST TUTORIAL I've ever seen or could find! My compliments sir..THANK YOU🙏 Thank you for all the work you did to make this Great👍👍
Who would want to buy toy category drones now when there's the Mini SE that's priced like a toy but does real camera drone functions?
Me.... i would like to buy MJX brand before it cost 250$. Then i saw these. Hell yeah 50$ extra with DJI's ease of use and quality
I mean Tello has a camera and stuff and it’s only $170
YE
I think the mavic mini and mini SE and mini 2 is perfectly priced, pro's and con's with all 3 models.
