Рет қаралды 1,304,069

Күн бұрын

There are going to be many new pilots who choose the DJI Mini 2 as their very first drone so I have put together this detailed beginners guide and tutorial for the DJI Mini 2 to help new users learn about this drone. We cover all topics that a new pilot should know from the basics of getting ready to take your first flight. Along the way, we discuss some tips to help you have a successful first flight. Some of the topics we cover are what memory to use, activating the drone, updating the firmware, and everything in between. Start here if you are learning to fly a drone and want to learn more.

I looked at 6 videos regarding my new drone before I found you and got REAL information. This is my first drone. I bought it yesterday. I charged batteries last night and watched videos this morning before I take it out. I will probably fly one battery's worth at about 4 feet off the ground to learn how to instinctively fly. I love that you ASSUME that I don't know crap. THANK YOU!

I don't do as well with the written literature and downloaded pdf files, as with someone like yourself.

So, I got to say this video was the best beginner video I have found. I recently purchased this combo unit and successfully had my first indoor tutorial flight. I was scared of hitting something in my office but the tutorial in the app is very easy to follow. I can't wait to have another dry weather day to test this out at the park nearby. I now understand this drone bug that many have to capture beautiful images and video. And clean my gutters haha. Thank you for putting this video together from another fellow Canadian.
