Hi ED, Can you make a Video about this case ? - www.amazon.com/Mavic-Drone-Carrying-Case-DACCKIT/dp/B07B8H8VVX/ref=sr_1_85?ie=UTF8&qid=1523238103&sr=8-85&keywords=DJI+mavic+air+case
After buying the Mavic Air and dutifully watching over 20 how-to videos, yours has been one of the best, if not the best. Careful, thorough, slow and focused, it was extremely helpful to me, and I've got it ready to view again on my iPad as I head outdoors. No annoying music, sportscaster intonation, or gimmicks, thanks for that.
EXCELLENT video. As always, Ed, you do NOT waste anyone's time. Each second in this 18 minute video is important, useful, easy to understand, and spoken/instructed at the perfect pace, and you cover ALL of the important bases!! Ed, your instructional videos and tutorials are AWESOME, and I ALWAYS recommend your videos to friends who are getting into drones. When I bought my first drone (Mavic Pro), I watched your video before flying, and it gave me all of the preparation I needed before flying! I now have a Mavic 2 Pro. A friend of mine just bought a Mavic Air and I told him that he MUST watch your Beginner's Guide videos before flying. I just watched this video, and of course I gave this link to my friend who just bought a Mavic Air and has never used a drone before. Thanks for producing such GREAT tutorials for those new to drone flying, and thanks for ALL of your awesome instructional videos. Yay yay yippeeekayay yeeehah!
Love your videos Helping me a lot since I’m new to drone flying. Haven’t bought the Mavic air yet, trying to decided if I want that or the Mavic air 2.🤷🏾♂️
Followed every step …… concise and to the point. Interesting yet no lame attempt to fake a UA-cam personality. Thank's dude all the way from Luxembourg.
I got a Mavic Air for Christmas, this was by far the best most descriptive and informative video. Thank you for sharing your experience to help others get into this hobby.
The best video I have ever watched. It covers everthing so clearly and not too fast, so you have time to process all that you say. Very professional presentation,
Thank you very much for the calibration portion of the video! This has been the most helpful Mavic Air UA-cam video out there! This has helped me with time, losing my mind, and getting directly to the point. You have helped more than you can possibly imagine! DJI does not have the capabilities to initiate any training for us Americans or English speaking types. Again, thank you so much!
Nice job on the video Ed...! You have a great conversational style, easy to follow and informative. I just bought that exact package today for my birthday (it’s tomorrow) for myself. I’m gonna rewatch your videos a few times to make sure I don’t miss anything before I fly it for the first time. Thanks for making these videos...some of the best I’ve seen on the Mavic Air.
Thank you for making these two videos. Made setting up and understanding my new DJI Mavic Air so much easier. Will recommend these videos to anyone who buys a new DJI Mavic Air.
Ed, I really appreciate you putting together these videos. I just picked up a mavic air. It's my first drone. It was a bundle with 3 extra batteries and some. Following your videos as a beginner to learn how to properly use this drone for fun, and real estate work. Thanks for what you do, stay safe!
Mine arrived today ...... this is perfect ... I've never flown before but will no doubt be far more confident after going through this and part 2. CHEERS.
Thank you very much for these 2 Beginner's Guide videos. It was extremely helpful for my first setup and first flight. Don't think I could have done it without watching these vids first. Cheers.
Hi , We have been watching your youtube vidios, the best there is, easy to understand and follow, we have bought a Mavic Air Flymore pack, had no idea what to do until we found you on you tube, will keep watching for more imformation , thank you for making it so much easier, Shirley & Dave , Australia,
Hi Ed, your Mavic Air Beginner's Guide P1 and P2 are awesome (concise and easy to follow without a drone). I am going to get my first drone Mavic Air soon and I believe with your videos, I will have trouble-free first ever drone flight. Thank you so much for sharing and your kindness.
Ed, thank you so much for taking your time and explaining the process for getting your Mavic Air up and running for the new owners and the prospective owners like me. It makes me more excited to get my Mavic Air quicker than I had planned. I look forward to watching part 2 of your Beginners Guide. Thanks again, keep it up!
Thanks so much! I have been following you for sometime waiting to get a Mavic Air. Now I have one and am re watching these videos before I fly. The instructions are clear and entertaining.
Thank goodness for you - I’m a beginner and this was the best tutorial. BTW if anyone can’t get the camera view on their phone it just might be that they forgot to put the clip back in place on the remote controller from when it was removed for the charger.
Best tutorial dude..... I just got mine last Sunday and other tutorials just made me more confused. I hope you get something from DJI for this priceless contribution. Thank you for this....
Hey Ed, thanks for the clear and concise detailed tutorials! My daughter and I are new to the drone world and I just purchased a Mavic Air for Christmas. Your tutorials will be our go-to guides to make sure we do things right. Thanks so much!!!
Guys/gals I just picked this drone up at Target for 549.00 plus tax. It and the Spark are on sale until Saturday I think. Got mine last night and it’s my first DJI product. I’m super excited and have watched these 2 videos like 4 times now. If any one was on the fence. That’s a huge savings at Target go get one.
It's been a while since I've flown my Air so I came back to this Great Tutorial since it helped so much the first time I watched a year ago. Thanks Again!
Just got the Mavic Air and the Part 1 & Part 2 Videos really helped get me going!! Best beginner videos I've seen on the Tube! Well done. Thank you and Fly well!
Same here!! I just got home with mine and went to the DJI site as suggested in their very limited instruction book. The folks at DJI should be paying you for this!! Their "instructional" video for setup was about 2 minutes long - with NONE of the details you provided. Their 5 minute follow up for "first flight" instructions wasn't much better. One of the best - and informative - videos I have ever seen.
You did the best job i have seen on all how to videos, the best period. You need to do this again on the Air 2 the same way like this video. I hope you can thanks.
Thanks for an excellent training for new drone owners. I just got my 1st drone (DJI Mavic Air) and I want to do everything right before I take to the air. I also subbed your channel because I like how detailed you are with your explanations.
Awesome tutorial!!ive been flying for about 4 years now, I use to have a Hubsan 501s but now I have the Mavic Air. It’s a whole new game now so, I thank you for your tutorial and look forward to your part 2.
Awesome video... Hats off to you Sir... I felt like I am sitting next to you. You perfectly covered each & every aspect of the Drone... Great work Sir... Keep it up... IMB It’s me Bishnoi
Just wanted to say thanks for these two videos, I mentioned you in my video because I could not do it so easy. It is an awesome and helpful video everyone should watch.
im lookin to buy a mavic air, will buy most likely... im doin some research first obviously,.... ive literally watched probably a couple dozen vids on the mavic air, but you my friend have had the best vid yet.. well done.. i really appreciate it. no shit..
At 13:57 we can notice how elegantly the wild RX100 on a pixie can jump within the tech-jungle.. the black on black coloring camouflages this specimen perfectly to make it difficult to notice in it's current habitat. It does not seem shy and has ventured very close to inspect, even admire the flying object. While still being careful as it's not knowing the drones intentions, it takes a step back to safer distance.. fascinating
This video saved my day w.r.t. IMU calibration. From other instructions I did not get the right IMU sequence: I missed the position where the drone is standing up side down with the camera facing the surface. Thank you.
Just a quick update on the FAA registration label...it now has to be on the outside of the aircraft, visible without having to remove anything to see it. (Obviously that requirement came out much later after this video was made....) Great video! I appreciate the info and your attention to detail brother!
Waoo the best explanation ever just what i needed to know im thinking of getting mavic air but i have no idea what to do .all i know that drones are awesome technology to have fun .if i know what to do thank u awesome vid.
Very good job. I was very afraid to buy and use a drone. After watched your movie I know that I will deal with this advanced techology. Thank you very much.
Hey,,,good instruction and guidance :) ...I am getting Mavic Air on Thursday as a first drone (I was coming from 3D RC helicopter sport :) ,,,tired of repairing the broken helicopter in 3D exercise so going to the darkside auto-drone now...) !!
Ed, one thing you leave out ( most everyone ) is how to pair all devices, I watched this and others and still could not get noting to work until I remembered when I got my Spark what I had to do. Maybe not always necessary but important on the ones that do. Thanks for all your help
Hi Mark, that's a good idea for those who bought the controller and drone separately. My Mavic Air controller and drone came shipped bound already. In fact I think every DJI drone I've ever bought came bound to the controller with the exception of the new DJI Smart Controller that I got after I already had the drones. I'm surprised yours didn't come bound!

Ed Ricker mines keeps wanting to use phone to fly instead of the control er how can I change this
Ed Ricker Great information thank you so much
Ed, you did a superb job. The manual with the drone sucks. But you are my hero.
Ed Ricker how do you prevent the controller from charging your phone. I'm using Android if that helps
No shouting, No Dramas, No Jimmicks. Just pure experience sharing, keep Going
Absolutely everything we need, and nothing we don't. Best part? No screaming or acting a fool. Love it!
Great straight to the point instruction! Thanks!

DJI needs to hire you. This is the best tutorial I have seen. Many thanks!

Your videos are quite good. How you do it and your voice and nature are excellent for this type of tutorial. Great work and it is much appreciated.
Thank goodness for you - I’m a beginner and this was the best tutorial. BTW if anyone can’t get the camera view on their phone it just might be that they forgot to put the clip back in place on the remote controller from when it was removed for the charger.

Thanks for watching, glad it helped!

Hey Ed, thanks for the clear and concise detailed tutorials! My daughter and I are new to the drone world and I just purchased a Mavic Air for Christmas. Your tutorials will be our go-to guides to make sure we do things right. Thanks so much!!!

Excellent job Ed. Received a Mavic Air for Christmas. My first drone. This video was very helpful. On to part 2. Thank you.
Thanks so much Ed! I was at a loss with the DJI instructions, brilliant job!!!

One of the best - and informative - videos I have ever seen.
Ain't that the truth!! DJI should be paying Ed for being the reason I did NOT return mine! (DJI Support couldn't get me off the phone fast enough!)
Best way to do anything DJI is watch a UA-cam vid...it's the only way to fly!!
No bollox straight into it well done great video. You have a new sub
You did the best job i have seen on all how to videos, the best period. You need to do this again on the Air 2 the same way like this video. I hope you can thanks.
Thanks for an excellent training for new drone owners. I just got my 1st drone (DJI Mavic Air) and I want to do everything right before I take to the air. I also subbed your channel because I like how detailed you are with your explanations.
This video helped me out a lot - many thanks

Hi Ed from Sydney, Australia. You are doing a great job. Very informative, straight to the point. Well Done!
Awesome tutorial!!ive been flying for about 4 years now, I use to have a Hubsan 501s but now I have the Mavic Air. It’s a whole new game now so, I thank you for your tutorial and look forward to your part 2.

Ended up buying a Mavic Air with Fly More. Not taken delivery yet, but love this video and part 2. Subscribed!
Just got my Mavic Air today. Thanks for the detailed walkthrough!
This video saved my day w.r.t. IMU calibration. From other instructions I did not get the right IMU sequence: I missed the position where the drone is standing up side down with the camera facing the surface. Thank you.
Excellent job Thank you for your video tutorials.
Menn, i saw also your Spark video..fantastic clear revieuws ! Keep doing the very good job! Thanks, have a good day&fly's ♧
