    I realize this is an older video for an older drone. I bought a used DJI Air 2 drone (and I recently seld my DJI Mini 2 drone, which I barely used). I just wanted to familiarize myself with the Air 2 since it is "new to me", & I am fairly new to the "drone world". I have seen other DJI drone videos on UA-cam for other DJI drones, including reviews. I must say, your video is TOP NOTCH!!! It is VERY precise & you covered tips & suggestions I have seen NO WHERE else, especially while the drone is in the air. WOW...great job!!! I bookmarked this video, and I wish & hope other "set-up" / tutorial videos are this concise, so the viewer knows what EVERYTHING means or does. I liked this video & you certainly have me as a subscriber. Thanx!

    I had to buy this drone a week before I had to deploy to South Africa. Now that I'm settled in, I have some time for myself. I am so happy to come across your channel. The other ones breeze through what they call the "beginners'" set up however, they are talking to themselves and not to beginner audience. I had hard time following them. Your video is very easy to follow with less technical jargon and focused to me as beginner like your title said. You and your family are more than welcome to come to SA and have free lodging, transportation and food on me 😂 to get around and explore this part of the world via great footages as well. By the way, where I am at is very drone friendly having less to nothing drone flying restrictions. Thank you and all the best.

  • @gooberminther3tik25
    @gooberminther3tik25 4 роки тому

    Having a total of three batteries included in the Fly More Combo is a great deal. The individual price of purchasing a single extra battery alone warrants diving into the Combo. The Charging Hub, ND Lens, Shoulder Bag...all add up significantly when purchased separately; although the bag wont accommodate even a single Guinness. tic
    Great presentation.

  • @danoc51
    @danoc51 4 роки тому +8

    Note to purchasers of the Flymore combo: The charging equipment and props came to me in small boxes, located in the shipping box. I thought I was missing the filters and, most importantly, the cord for charging the controller. I finally found those in zipper pocket inside the carrying bag. Having to search for these items can be annoying when you excitedly want to get everything charged and on to flying. Anyway, another really good job with this video, Ed.

    Great Video, Just got my air 2 so there's nothing like watching someone who has done it before and is sharing basically the beginning of the journey of droning. I like your style, your not boring, meaning it's like your talking to me and not advertising for dji. Good job enjoyed every minute. And to boot I learned a lot which turns into confidence. Because for me this is my first drone, and to be honest I have somewhat some confidence if I do say so myself. You have to have the hand eye co-ordination or maybe you should find another hobby. Anyway looking forward to learning more about the quickshots and filming in general. Looking forward to the great photography and videos that can be made.

    Ed... Liked the info.
    Have had my MA2 for four weeks, and only have two/three flights on it. I have issues with jerky/lagging video. Have chatted (on line) with DJI twice. Only thing they have suggested is down load the firmware updates - Again. Did that. Still jerky in video recording. Did make one recent adjustment - changed from the 265 to 264. Did a small test. Smooth image feed. Will check this on a longer flight this week.
    Also, I strongly recommend that everyone that has a DJI drone, that you download the appropriate manual, rather than rely on the abbreviated, small print manuals that come with the drone. They get you started, but seriously lack in the more detail info which is good for everyone to know about their drone.
    Just a thought - when the FAA starts requiring Hobbyist to have a pilot's certificate, they might start doing what are know as O & P type testing. O&P = Oral and Practical test. Part of the Oral would probably require knowing what is in your Owners' Manual. The P part would require the applicant to demonstrate proper handling of the drone, and emergency procedures. (I can just hear the grumbling and complaining now.....) You know its coming to that if you hold a Part 107 Certificate.
    Cheers.....

P S my old MP is now on its second set of 4 new batteries. I'm sure my Son will get a few good years out of that Drone, especially with a new set of batteries. I'll be sure to send him to your Mavic Pro video you posted years ago. I hope he learns to fly as well as I did with your guidance. 👍

    Hi Ed,
    I have an Older DJI Mavic, and it works fine. I used your tutorial on how to set it up, and it was a great and easy video to follow. My question is this: When I hit the button for it to come home, it doesn't land anywhere near where it took off. My understanding is that it should land pretty much where it started from. Am I wrong, or is there a setting I missing? Thanks.
