    Great video, very clear and informative. Thanks. Me, I'm just a youthful 66 years, took my drone out the other day after a few weeks of poor weather and struggled with some basic control operations so I watched this and now back up to speed. Keep up the good work.

    I hope you all are staying healthy and safe out there! Hopefully, whether you're new to flying drones or not, this helps to fill a void in your likely empty time now that everyone is locked in pretty much! A question I have for you to answer: What drone are you currently flying and for how long?

    When I first started flying (not long ago) I had a little trouble remembering which action the 2 controller sticks did in mode 2 Now I use this saying. The one on the left is UP, DOWN AND SPIN AROUND. The right is the 4 DIRECTIONS. Up, back and side to side. But the up UP DOWN AND SPIN AROUND helps me to keep it right in my head.

    @geezerpleasers_OG 3 роки тому +3

    Re: pointing the camera upward. It's not just for looking up at the sky. For commercial pilots, it can be used for inspections where you fly underneath something. For landscape photographers, it can get you some great shots looking upward or gradually panning upward with the gimbal control, looking at a mountain, cliff, or other large formation. Try it out and you'll find it can really add to your scenic photography and videography.

    • @michaellim7002
      @michaellim7002 3 роки тому

      For beginner, then try DJI Mavic Mini which is cheaper price now.
      Specs: 2.7K resolution, distance 2.7 mile (4.0km), Height 400 feet.
      If you like higher resolution video (in 4K) and fly longer distance (10km),
      then get the latest model DJI Mavic Mini 2.
      Price difference is only about 30%-40%.

      That’d be the Fly More Combo you’re talking about. I’m quite certain that Costco sells the Fly More Combo! I know a lot of other vendors do as well, and because of Black Friday, are having significant deals right now! So, if you’re still within the return period for your regular Mavic Mini kit, you should be able to go out and snag a Fly More Combo with a full refund on the Mavic Mini!

    Hi Carson just a little inside on antennas. Single antenna you would have a signal strength like a circle, dual antennas quarter wave length a part creates stronger signal towards the front and to the back side almost like an egg shape. and yes keep antennas strait up is the best as they are ground plane antennas.

    Ohh did I mess up today. I got my new Mavic Mini a month ago. Been logging some flights and learning what I can do. Tonight as the sun was setting I was flying over my lake. I was making really low passes. The video looked awesome. At about 2 feet off the surface I accidentally pulled back on the controller thinking I would climb.. My airplane days.. It went into landing mode. My poor drone is gone in the drink. Our boat is not I'm it's slip yet. I felt sick.. I ordered a new drone tonight. Shhhh, don't tell my wife.

    Great walk thru! I have an 11ProMax and mine fits in fine w it’s case on, those arms go quite a bit wider than u see here. Just so viewers who haven’t purchase know there’s no hassle there. Just bought mine 2 weeks ago and only thing not loving is it can’t fly in conditions that are windy. I get it as it’s so lightweight but I’m always looking n Cinemode so next time windy will switch to sport and see how does.

    Thoughts: I'm a new Mavic Mini owner and new to FPV flying. I've had issues with the iphone app losing connection with the controller/drone at any distance. I first thought it was the lightning connector and switched to an old phone. Since then I learned the rule about shutting off the phone's WIFI and have not tried switching back to the first (larger) phone yet. I still wanted to mention that it would have been a good thing to point out in this video.
    Another thing I wanted to learn about was the CSC command. I understand how it starts up the rotors, and how it can shut them down in an emergency. I'd like to know if they will re-start the rotors when the drone is falling. One of my fears is clowns with axes. Another fear is a bird strike on my new toy. I see the Mavic Mini will shut down the rotors if rolled or pitched too much, which seems likely if a bird attacks. If that happens, I'd like to be able to try and save mine from a crash landing, providing there's enough fall time. Better yet, why wouldn't DJI have a recovery mode that could kick in if free fall above a set altitude? Thoughts?

    Thank you for the great videos. New Mavic Mini owner and absolutely love it! Just wanted to comment that though a thick case doesn't quite fit as hoped, I'm able to use the remote without removing it on my iPhone 8 Plus. It can fit snugly enough to be usable, which I far prefer to removing my case every time.

      Hmm, most all of my phones have fit - just the cable is the issue. The cable typically doesn’t fit into the charging slot since the cases I typically have are a bit thick, so just keep that in mind if you ever encounter a complete dropout of signal- make sure to check that cable connection :)
