Ed Ricker you are a gifted communicator. By far the best intro to any drone I've seen, I feel like I've flown the thing. DJI should hire you to do their product demos. So much better than wading through 15 DJI official videos to see one feature per vid.

Watched part 1 & 2 - Best beginner instruction yet. Its old school this model now (I was given this Drone by a mate) but the APP seems to work for lots of DJi so is just as relevant. Off to try out Ed's instruction, I feel a lot more confident in getting going with it than I did before (and I reckon my mate would have learnt a lot from these 2 vids). Good job Mr Ricker..

The best one I have seen. None of the other tutorials I searched, about 10 videos really show you basic explanations how to take off and land and the basic settings. They just go through settings and then you see them flying a drone. They assume you know how to take off and land which is not a great assumption when you are a beginner and have never flown the Air before. We need someone to say, press this and press that and if possible show us.. Again, really great job getting us in the air.
