    Only 8 mins into vid so far but felt obliged to comment. What an amazingly calm, robust, tutorial.thank you. Have come from a mini 2 se (had it a week but bitten by the drone bug), ordered a mini 3 pro, which i probably regretted due to seeing all the vids about the 4 pro. I received the 3 pro but (not going to name and shame), it arrived having been clearly already flown, potentially damaged, spare props added, and reboxed and sent back so also returned and bought 4 pro instead from other supplier. Old you tube vid so you may not see this, but if you do, thanks you. Super informative:)

      Totally agree. However, if you're watching without headsets, the audio is a bit annoying as your voice will suddenly go loud and then go low as you speak then go loud again. Just stating a fact. Im sure you can figure it out. :)

    may I add this grt feature PRECISION LANDING ? Just hover about 6-7 meters over the tkofpoint for ca 8 secs. then start your flying program. With RTH the acft then will land within about 3-4 inches on the tkof spot. Incredible !

    One thing I recommend regarding the DJI RC2 controller is buying a lanyard neck strap, so that way you can wear the controller around your neck.
    Bought my neck strap through Amazon for $16 for the screen controller for my Mini 3 Pro and I wear it every time.

    I have placed an order for the DJI Mini 4 Pro drone to assist me in producing more video content for my automotive channel. As a novice in the field of drone operation, I have dedicated the past week to educating myself on the subject. I recently discovered your video content and have thoroughly watched it.

  • @rickhollm7267
    @rickhollm7267 Рік тому +17

    Great video, one thing you might want to add for future videos is the precision landing function. I have found that if you perform the automated takeoff, the precision landing function is enabled. That will essentially use both GPS & an internal image of the takeoff point to help match and put the drone back down on a RTH landing to within a few inches of the takeoff point. If you take off manually (turn the rotors on & then takeoff), that function does not seem to be enabled and will only use the GPS functionality.

    • @AirPhotography

    I just bought one of these and I was a bit taken back by the lack of instructions that come in paper form. It took a minute to find the PDF on their website. I believe DJI assumes all drone buyers are tech savvy. Your video was perfect. I watched this video and a few others before setting my drone up. Two things that were a bit off for me during setup, my RC2 did not prompt me to auto update the firmware. I went to profile, settings and updated it myself. Second, you have to check the firmware again after you connect to the drone for the first time. The second thing that was a bit odd, when the second firmware update happened, for the actual drone, the drone turned off and did not reboot automatically. The RC2 said to "turn back on the device if reboot isnt automatic"...problem is, which device were they talking about? The RC2 or the drone...there are two devices. Other than than those two specific things, everything else was seamless. Your video was a great help. Subscribed and will be watching all your other tutorials. Folks like me really appreciate good content like this.

    Hello Shawn. Greetings from here in the Arctic Circle (from Finland) again. like I told earlier, I recently bought a DJI Mini 4 Pro drone. I plan to use it to film videos for my You Tube Channel "Vihonviimeinen Mohikaani", where I present my life here in Finland surrounded by Arctic nature. Before getting a drone, I looked for good instruction videos on how to fly a drone on You Tube. I think your videos were the best. Now I have flown and filmed with my drone quite a bit and with your instructions it has been very easy. My opinion is that DJI Mini 4 Pro is VERY easy to fly, even the very first flight did not cause any problems. So far I have flown with it only in Wintertime. In cold conditions battery life is short. Next winter I will put this drone in extreme winter test in our Arctic climate.
    So, thank you very much for the very clear and good instructional videos. Your videos were BIG help when I did start flying with my drone.

    Great Video! I just bought a Mini 4 Pro... I'm freaking out because my HolyStone flew away. I am afraid to screw up this drone. It's like I felt as a child, diving off the high dive at the pool. I have to do this and can't keep it in the leather bag/stare at it folded forever. LET"S GO!!!
