Man - THANK YOU for this video Love it. Not just the comprehensive guide, but the location for the shoot as well. Loving your content recently. Had I not bought my Mavic, I may have never found your channel and that would have been a true waste. Keep it up, and see you around Tokyo!
You're right, this is THE BEST GUIDE. Most of the beginners guides brush past the basics, either they aren't paying attention and assume "YOU KNOW"... thanks for helping out the Newbies.
I am watching lots of UA-cam videos on the Mavic Pro prior to spending the $1000 for this drone. Yours was easilhy one of the best since you made it very straightforward to understand. I will bookmark and watch again once my drone is delivered. Thanks
Hey Chuck Gerlach, that's a huge compliment considering how many mavic tutorials and guides there are out there. I really appreciate the feedback! Let me know if you have any questions when you get your drone. Happy flying!
Thanks for quite a few tips others haven't mentioned, especially how to launch and recover without actually touching ground. Especially useful for launch and recovery from my boat! Also great, concise presentation and quality video.
Brilliant guide, I just bought my mavic Pro and started shooting for my UA-cam channel. This will help me so much. Looking forward to your future video's
Hey JustOneForAll, welcome to the Mavic TEAM. The Mavic takes great video and adds another level of production to your videos. I'm loving it. I'm sure you will too. I'm about to upload some more videos from my Philippines trip with some Mavic shots. Hope you check out. Thanks for watching!
Thanks a bunch. This video helped me out a lot. I have watched several of the beginner/opening or out of the box videos, but yours has been my favorite.
Thank you very much for your time and effort to share your own experience. Do not pay attention to the bad comments. There is always people with low spirit, lack of gratitude, who always look for any room of opportunity to criticize. I ask to those ones: what in your life have you shared with others, other than your negativism?
Well done Paolo. I really enjoyed your video and interesting tips. I bought my Mavic Pro yesterday, this video brought me up to speed super quick. Thanks for your effort to make information like this more accessible and understandable. Cheers, Jonathan
Long! But LOVED IT! Although I've had the Mavic for sometime now, I wish I'd seen this earlier. No one really talks about recycling the three batteries. I also do the same and it is EXTREMELY important. Great video ! 👍🏻
Hey 2Travellers, yup, it's difficult to recycle the batteries if you don't label them. Thanks for commenting and watching. talk to you again next time.
sorry you crashed your drone. Did you get it fixed? I crashed my drone too and broke the camera...but here's how I fixed it. ua-cam.com/video/-Cwk7Qauf_c/v-deo.html
My camera still functions videowise. it was just hanging out of the drone like a popped out eyeball, broken bracket. I did send it in to dji. I think it went to Texas. Thanks for the advice!
Hey Chip, thanks for the kind words. I was a bit lost myself when I got the drone, so I essentially made the video to answer the questions I had when I first got the drone. Hope to talk to you again in the next one.
Great Video! Thanks for taking your time to make it. The video is full of Great Tips and lots of very informative advice. Especially for beginners like me!
Hey Tanya Terry, don't worry, you'll get used to it. I'm glad this video tips helped. Let me know if you have any other questions. Talk to you again soon.
great points! just bought my mavic pro and waiting for it to arrive. I'mn going to the Philippines as well next march 2018. your tips on how to get a permit is amazing thanks!
Hey Chuck, glad that both of the videos helped. you're going to have a blast flying your drone in the Philippines and taking all that beautiful footage. talk to you again later.
Paolo fromTOKYO for sure! cant wait I'll get my mavic in 3 days it just shipped today. I already contacted the CAAP and just waiting for a response. better do it early than late
Hey Matt, drones will set you back a little, but they are super fun and the Mavic takes awesome ariel footage. If you're looking for something a little more affordable, check out the DJI Spark. Might make the decision a bit easier. Talk to you again soon.
Paolo fromTOKYO mate and myself just bought a mavic pro each today, time to experiment! I did have a parrot ar drone a few years ago but it's absolute rubbish!
Hey Greg, I had the same feeling. I thought I had to return the drone until I noticed that damn sticker. thanks for watching and hope to talk to you again soon.
Nice video. It would've been really helpful if I've seen this before I started flying. 4 batteries so that you can go on location to shoot; 2 for sunrise and 2 for sunset
Great video, like others have said explains the smaller 'common sense' which you don't always think about! Just one comment, when you're catching the drone with your hand (I've only flown mine about 4 or 5 times now but caught it most times as I'm normally flying in a place with long grass) I wouldn't suggest fighting it as it'll probably damage the drone a bit. What the drone is doing is flying back up to about 1-2 foot from your hand as it thinks your hand is the floor and therefore kicking in the safety feature and rising a bit before it lands. If you just let it fly off it'll just come back down, takes the same amount of time but shouldn't damage the drone. Hope that makes sense! Can you also explain how you let it take off from your hands? as when I move the sticks down the blades are spinning so I can't pick it up.... Ah I think I just noticed you moved the right stick with your elbow?
Hey Cezza, thanks for the comment. Not to be misleading or anything, but this particular video was shot in Boracay. Check out my other videos to see Tokyo.
Thanks for the tutorial; I found it very informative and easy to follow. I'm not an Apple person and most DJI drone UA-cams refer to connecting to their iPhone(as you did). Do you know if my Samsung Galaxy Tab A tablet(8 inch) would fit and connect okay? Mike in Oz
Nice review. I got mine and agree with you on all of your comments. I also used a binoculars case that I had and fits perfectly. Had the same challenges and you made things clear ;)
I think you should add to slow down the gimbal settings to your video to give the shots a more cinematic approach or smoother camera movement.. This is the only thing I learned from other videos to complete your comments on the Mavic..
Great video...love your shirt! Just my one last night and been through 5 batteries already playing down at the beach....my next step is downloading 4K and what is the best editing programme...or possibly most user friendly currently.
Hey Paula, hahaha...thanks for noticing the shirt! I use a macbook so editing is final cut pro is most common. for something easier, I recommend imovie. that is how I started. hope to talk to you again soon.
Great job! Thanks for getting right to the point and not belaboring points. Love your fast, through presentation. My Mavic arrives soon, and I'm going to watch this a second time and take notes.
Hey Paolo great vid plain & simple just like me but I understood which makes a change trying it out for the first time this w/e never done a drone before so lets c what happens will be in Jappers in October with the Mavic and the wife as its her email !! Bazza

As a beginner , this is good stuff that I have learned during the process. The basic must know
Great job! I'm getting my Mavic this month. This was very helpful and I will probably watch your video several times! Thanks.
Hey Mike, you're going to love flying the mavic. I was blown away how stable and well engineered the product is. You won't regret it.
About to buy one of those amazing drone, and your video was one of the most helpful beginner guide I found on YT. Thanks !
Hey frenchorcatrainer, thanks for the positive feedback. Glad I could help you get your Mavic up in the air. Talk to you again in the next one.
Thank you very much for your time and effort to share your own experience. Do not pay attention to the bad comments.

Well done! Very informative tutorial !
One of the best beginners videos I have seen on youtube, great work. You now have a sub :)

Well done Paolo. I really enjoyed your video and interesting tips. I bought my Mavic Pro yesterday, this video brought me up to speed super quick. Thanks for your effort to make information like this more accessible and understandable.
Cheers,
Jonathan
this wouldve saved me 1hr of trying to calibrate the sensor with the sticker on, searching for a solution! great vid!
Hey sitaro8, yeah....the sensor calibration was such a pain. Felt stupid after I realized afterwards that it was just a sticker. Thanks for watching.
Long! But LOVED IT! Although I've had the Mavic for sometime now, I wish I'd seen this earlier. No one really talks about recycling the three batteries. I also do the same and it is EXTREMELY important. Great video ! 👍🏻
Hey 2Travellers, yup, it's difficult to recycle the batteries if you don't label them. Thanks for commenting and watching. talk to you again next time.
Simply the best - succinct informative. Well done keep em coming.
Thanks Patricia and Michael Bain!
Very well narrated Paolo top man 👍💯Eric Hart from the uk 🇬🇧
You were right about the other tutorials. Wish I had found yours before I crashed my drone and broke the camera.
sorry you crashed your drone. Did you get it fixed? I crashed my drone too and broke the camera...but here's how I fixed it. ua-cam.com/video/-Cwk7Qauf_c/v-deo.html

Brilliant, well done for this great starters guide.
Awesome bro! I know what to do now once I get my hands on those Drones!
Thanks so much! I just got a drone, and your video helped me to get started.
Safe flying!
Most helpful beginner tutorial for this drone so far!
Hey Chip, thanks for the kind words. I was a bit lost myself when I got the drone, so I essentially made the video to answer the questions I had when I first got the drone. Hope to talk to you again in the next one.

Hey Matt, drones will set you back a little, but they are super fun and the Mavic takes awesome ariel footage. If you're looking for something a little more affordable, check out the DJI Spark. Might make the decision a bit easier. Talk to you again soon.
Paolo fromTOKYO mate and myself just bought a mavic pro each today, time to experiment! I did have a parrot ar drone a few years ago but it's absolute rubbish!

Paolo fromTOKYO Dude Tokyo looks awesome. Hope to make it out there sometime :)
Hey Cezza, thanks for the comment. Not to be misleading or anything, but this particular video was shot in Boracay. Check out my other videos to see Tokyo.

Oh wow, cool. Thanks for watching! You should definitely come to Tokyo when you can.
Thanks for the tutorial; I found it very informative and easy to follow. I'm not an Apple person and most DJI drone UA-cams refer to connecting to their iPhone(as you did). Do you know if my Samsung Galaxy Tab A tablet(8 inch) would fit and connect okay?
