I'm new to drones. This is my first drone to be honest. but I have learned so much from you. Thank you for being so thorough.

Thanks for all the great "how to" videos, on settings. This is so important to anyone, I believe, and your very good at it. Thanks again. Marc.

Wow Billy! You are so knowledgeable - I love all the information you seem to instantly be able to put out there, even on a brand new product such as the Mavic Mini - I recently took possession of my own MM on release day but the weather here in the UK has been atrocious so I've not been able to take it out once as yet so I've been swotting to take in your great knowledge so that I am ready for my first flight - keep up the great work Billy - I'm thoroughly enjoying all of it - 🤘😎👍

As usual very intelligent and thorough explanation of the material. I find your videos very useful. Thank you!

Hi Billy. I’m new to drone flying and recently bought the Mavic Mini, mainly because I’ve been incredibly impressed with the results that can be achieved. From my limited experience, it is an amazing little machine. To familiarise myself with the drone, I’ve been watching countless KZfaq videos to learn as much as I possibly can. Some have been really helpful. Some haven’t lol. Today, I came across this video for the best settings for the Mini and found it incredibly helpful, as well as being explained in a way that a newbie like me can understand. A really, really useful video. I’m definitely going to be watching more of your videos because I’m sure they will help me understand the drone so much better, which will hopefully enable me to get the results that I hope to get.

Thanks Billy I always find your videos very informative and to the point. I really appreciate it!!

Billy thank you! Once again another very helpful video. I'm a newbie, the MM is my first drone and I'm learning lots from your videos. One nitpick if I may; I wish as you went through all of the settings you had differentiated which ones were default and which ones if any need to be set each time you fly.

Awesome video. Thanks a lot helped a lot, as missed some of these settings when was going through quickly

Great video Billy! Just noticed there is an update to Version 1.0.3 on my iPhone for the DJI Fly app to fix the RTH altitude issue. They're listening to you Billy!!! :) I've flown RC helicopters for years and have found that generally Mode 2 is used mainly in the US and Canada. Mode 1 is used in the UK, Australia, New Zealand and the rest of the world including Asia pretty much. But it's really up the individual pilot and their preference. I was taught to fly mode 1 at an RC helicopter club here in Australia so I fly the same on my drone. Thanks for another great video!

Most excellent video on settings Billy, keep up the great instructional notations.

Yes, I just set mine to Mode 3 for the reasons you mentioned. My first flight was confusing as I "go front" by the left stick and it went up etc, so Mode 3 is Playstation like and Im used to that. Thanks for your videos.

Billy, as usual you have presented another outstanding video on the Mavic Mini. I will be ordering mine soon and with your videos it should be a breeze to set up and go fly. Keep those videos coming as the way you explain everything in a straight and forward fashion makes it easy to understand. And you don't go too fast and everyone can follow along ( and thanks for NO music ) which makes videos hard to understand. If you ever get down to Florida give a shout would like to meet up in the Tampa area.

Thanks Billy, this was well covered over all. I almost am in line with the settings which makes me feel proud to be in line with your settings. I do have a pointer I learnt for the stick mode, I use the mode 2 as you suggested/use. But if I want the camera pointing at me while it flies away, I use a custom setting to make it behave like the front of the drone acts as the back and vice versa. This is awesome for the manual dronie shots. Avoids the calculation in your head that left is right and front is back every time lol. Hope this helps.

how can a video like this have 115 dislikes? he literally covered everything that you clicked on👀🤯

Ok Billy, you’ve done fantastic for me in preparing me to be totally familiar with the mavic mini and the dji fly app! Thank you! I have had mine for 4 days now! Everything in the process has gone flawlessly and I am enjoying the heck out of the first drone/quad copter I’ve ever flown! Had snow and wind the 1st couple days so I started in c-mode and flew figure 8’s in every room in the house until I was comfortable doing it in “P”osition mode. Yep then “S”port mode! Lol. Then I walked around the house flying room to room doing figure 8’s or boxes or ovals (sliding diagonals, rt stick). Finally wind let up, it was snowing 😱, couldn’t take it anymore so I flew it out my back door into 8-12 mph N wind w/snow. No problem for the mini! Had a blast flying in the snow! Can visually track it out to about 300 M with a cloudy back lit sky. But next day is bright sun! No clouds! I loose visual at just over 150-200 M.! I just put firehouse navigation strobes on the mini! OMG dude! What a blast! What a difference! I can visually track out to 300M in a cloud free sky with brilliant sun! AND a/c orientation is always in view! Can’t wait for the Sun to go down so I can try them a night! These lights are so bright I am sure I will have to switch to dimmest setting for night flight! So cool! Thanks again!

Outstanding videos. Very concise with no nonsense. Thanks so much. My son and I watched these and it's really helped us get up and going with our Mini. Cheers!

Great info! I love the settings you use for sure

This is my first drone - thanks for the videos, they are a big help.

Thanks...You covered two settings that I changed to your recommendations, and improved my video results by 100%. Thanks again. I just subscribed.

Yep! I would definitely use Mode 3, because I work in a video game company and I often needs to capture footage using a virtual camera in-game and the left stick is used to move the camera left-right-forward-backward. So it would make more sense in my head since I've been using this setup for so long.

Great video Billy. Keep me coming!

Hi Billy, I just wanted to thank u for doing these videos... very informative!

Spot on Billy. Great video as usual!

Great video, thanks for your time. Just got a Mini and getting ready to fly her. Stepping up from a holy Stone HS510 that has been flawless to learn on.

Hi Billy excellent video👍 had my mini Mavic for 3 weeks and it’s awesome use mode 1 as I have a nitro truggy and not much different and comfortable keep up the good work 👌

Tremendously helpful video. Thanks Billy !

Thank you for your tuition on the settings easily explained in depth for me has new to me. I will opt for these settings mode 2 especially.

Thanks for showing us all your best settings, I have been taking notes.

Thank you. I just purchased mines yesterday. Great video

Clearly presented in concise manner. I will receive the mini in a few days so I will try your suggested settings since you explained the reason for them. Thank you.

Very helpful video cheers. I have been using mode 2 to fly my drone, whereas, when playing video games I'm more used to the mode 1settings so I've just changed those settings on my drone, and I should now have a better experience.

Great video man .... I'm new to the drone world and the Mavic Mini is a good little drone - especially for what I will be using it for. Your video covers everything I needed to know - I really appreciate you taking the time to post this as it has certainly helped me tremendously. Thanks again .....

Great tips in a wonderful tutorial, thanks.

Helpful vid, thanks. Is there a way to invert the gimbal dial? It always moves up when I expect it to move down and vice versa.

Great video , so helpful and to the point!

Great stuff! The information here will improve my next shoot.

Great tutorial Billy. Could you show what video subtitles display?

Wow, my sweetie just got me a Mini for my Bday. Time to learn a new drone. Thanks for all the info

Keep them coming!

Really enjoying your videos as a new Mini owner!

Awesome work!

Very useful info, clear precise and quickly spoken without the bulls**t i have been wading through elsewhere.

Thanks Billy👍very helpful

As usual very informative thanks

Useful video. Thank you!

Very helpful! Thank you.

Hi, thanks for the advice on setting up the Mavic Mini (my first DJI drone) as your sample images/videos look really good, so I've set mine up the same. I have a question though, if you, or any of your other watchers/responders wouldn't mind answering? Do you get any degradation of video quality when yawing? No matter what speed the Mini turns the video blurs to the point that that the video is totally unusable. Today I noticed that this even occurs when flying forward/backward at speed (CineSmooth seems ok on the forward/backward motion but P and S is blurred). Is this occuring in your (or any other Mavic Mini user's) drone? Keep the tips and tricks coming, as they're invaluable for the new drone (MM) user (I mostly want this to use when on holidays). Thanks for your time and effort.

great job billy thank u

Great info, pick a few things that cache is annoying thanks fo the gimbal info as well!

Wonderful, very useful, I love Cinematic Mode ;)

Good vid, thanks. Subscribed

Great video! Thanks!

Hey Billy. Thanks for the settings suggestions. I agree that as an FPS gamer (even casual ones like me), the Mode 3 works best for me. I find it to be very comfortable to my style of flight. I just got the Mini, as well as a copy of DCL The Game. It's a great way to practice your stick handling without the worry of crashing your drone IRL. The free flight allows you to work on your moves. Though there is no gimble wheel, it's a decent game for practice. Cheaper to buy the disc than download direct, FYI. Cheers!

I've got my Gimbal Pitch Speed: 15 and Gimbal Pitch Smoothness: 25. You just have to get used to releasing the gimbal wheel earlier.

I believe I have the most unique stick controls I've seen. It's like Mode 3 but with Ascend and Descend swapped. Like you said, I play video games so this is what made the most sense in my head when I was learning to fly. I've always used "inverted" controls in flight games where moving the stick up pushed the nose down. Hence the need for this wacky custom control scheme. :)

Thanks Billy I will be using these settings when I receive my Mini Mavic back from DJI my mini appears to have a SD card reader problem so it's gone back to them to investigate.

...very helpful, thank you!

Awesome video. Thanks a lot

THX this is very helpful when i buy the Mavis mini

Subscribed- like your review style mate 👍🏼

Your video help out alot.

Hey Billy nice vid don't have the mini jus have the mavic 1 and I want to cope another done and I know you do alot with dji but have you done anything with the skydio 2 and if so is it fly able in restricted areas?

Thanks! Im really excited im getting mine in 2 weeks!

I've been flying in Mode 3 for the exact reason you said: that's how video games do it. I instantly was comfortable with it after trying Mode 2, which was on by default.

Brilliant ! Thanks

As usual, a very useful video. Any chance we can get a video showing the fpv mode?

Awesome vid thank ya, but why dose the battery temp still show celcius when I'm in imperial

That helped me no end thanks for putting it out fly safe stay safe and if your me just leaning try not to crash

Really good video 👍🏻 stay safe :)

Useful info, thanks 🙂

Thank you!

So how was the ipad mini 4 when you turn cache while recording off? I ask because I heard it works fine with the dji mini and I I've just bought one.

Great video, nice 1

How do you change remotes stick functions using the Custom mode? I want like in a plane, pushing forward on stick drone goes down and pulling back on the stick it goes up......

Excellent! I just bought a new Mini. My first drone camera. Thanks for the education

thanks again just setting mine , stay safe

Great video. I also adopted your gimbal settings, thanks. BTW: I fly mode 3! I've been flying RC planes for 25+ years in mode 1 and for quadcopters and helicopters mode 3 makes perfect sense to me. Mode 2 is kinda the same, but with the sticks swapped. And yes, it's more like playing video games, so gamers should be more comfortable flying mode 3.

Great job

Thanks Billy! What about the 2K video setting? Can't seem to find it in the menu.

hai Billy! can you show how to view still image in app dji fly? i not found this gallery only video show

Great tutorials sir ❤️

This video is great.

Super helpful! Ready for those sweet shots with these sweet settings for my travel vlog. What whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat!!

Great review. 💪💪💪🖐🖐🖐

Hi Billy! Greetings from Greece! I have a question, while I'm waiting for my mavic mini to be delivered... is it possible to fly mini with the DJI GO 4 app and if so would this give the user more options in comparison with the new app?

Is there course lock similar features in dji go?

I use mode 3. But it takes getting used to to switch to another persons controls. Or if using something like tello that doesn’t have those options

Hi. Can you explain more on video subtitles under camera settings ?

I’ve tried using it on mode 3 just like the playstation controller and I just couldn’t control it. I even crashed it for my first time because I was trying to avoid any bushes so much for that. I’ve set it back to mode 2. I think maybe I got use to mode 2. Thanks for the tips.

As a gamer, Mode3 is supreme. Just makes the most sense for me. Keep pumping out the vids, man!

Hi, does the mavic mini shoot portrait mode like most mavic models?

Very helpful

Great video! Have you done this video again with the updated firmware? August 1st 2020.

How do you record with all the settings and stats on the screen while flying?

Thanks for your videos- I visit the USA from UK and tried to fly in in Naples, FL recently. The LANNC clearance never worked on the apps and kept giving an error. Any suggestions please?

Great video , my first drone. Thanks

can you use the crystal sky with the mavic mini?

Excellent video. Can you please show us how to color grade videos from mavic mini

I have a question how I can set up in mavic mini sensivity of sticks controller?

I noticed the chip overheating warning. I found it useful to put the drone on top of a USB fan to keep it cool when testing stuff on the ground like you are and in the field after flying it. I like to pull out the battery and let both cool down before putting back in the case.
