Getting Started with the DJI Mavic Mini - Setup and First Flight

10 out of 10 Well done Thank You!

Note: If you own a Samsung Galaxy S-series phone, do not expect your DJI products to work. I have the Galaxy S21 Ultra. A couple months ago, their apps stopped working with my device. I have the Mavic Mini and the Osmo Mobile 4. After speaking with tech support this morning, it was acknowledged that their apps don't support that Android. A little further examination on Google yields the information that says DJI emulates the Apple ecosystem. Apple's ecosystem is intentionally incompatible with Androids.

Ultimately, the tech support guy advised that I get another phone. Zero stars for DJI.

wow, very helpful i completely finished watching your video, thanks for sharing. will definetely buy my drone camera very very soon :)

Excellent lesson.

thanks!!!very usefull

Great tutorial thanks

What is the right app to download for Android

Great video! Thanks Ed!

I bought mine early this year and now the dji fly app is not working. I flew the drone about 7 times and now the app keeps crashing and not opening. Horrible NOT RECOMMEND.

Wow your explanation is very very good thanks for information 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

Thank you buddy. Just got this today and its my first drone. It's gonna be SO much fun.

Thank you great tutorial and very easy to follow. made my first experience so much easier.

This was the best beginner mini tutorial i’ve seen yet.

It's an easy-to-understand explanation.👍

Nice job sir. Very informative., Thx

came across your vid m8 just what i was looking for thank you

I just got one of these POSs awhile back. WTF . It won’t pair, won’t update firmware. Had it too long to return it, punted it in the trash

Great video really helpful

Great video.. I just bought my Mini 3 Pro and am flying my drone for the first time. After watching this video twice I was able to comfortably fly for the first time. Thanks!

Hi Ed, thank you for a very helpful and informative video, and thank you for not screaming at us and also for not trying to talk over some silly music top marks all around. 👍👍👍👍

Will this all work with the DJI mini se?

Great video Good sir! The only thing missing was how to remove the battery but I saw that in other tutorials so you're good. You had a lot of other good information other videos did not have

"Connect it to your phone..."

Yes, I was hoping to learn how, that's why I'm watching this video

Hey there, I just got a message from you?

Good Video!

This video was very, very helpful. Thank you!

Thanks Ed. Great video.

Great video man ....! I often come back to this as it is one of the best to learn important features of fly the drone ....

Thank you for taking the time to share this with us - very helpful ....!

all good info but from my recent experience I can only say that the most important lesson with a satellite signal dependent drone like the Mini 2 i bought a year ago is to never lose the security info you gave to DJI or whoever gives you access to the satellite... I lost access to my gmail password ( and google sucks when it comes time to help recover such ) and no longer have a functional drone due to my naivety.... with no gmail access i can not prove to DJI that I am the legal owner of my drone therefore I now own a drone that i can't fly... wtf !!!

This is the best video I've seen so far. I just purchased a mini drone and have yet to take it out ( really nervous about crashing and destroying it!". This guide has helped me tremendously with all the controls and what everything does in the different menus. Thanks very much for posting this. I live in London, England.

I'm so pleased I watched this before my drone arrived, I'm a 71yr old and VERY inexperienced drone pilot and only flown a couple of cheap toy drones before. I thought I'd get something a little better while I still tread the daisies just waiting for my refurbished Mavic Mini to arrive thinking it would be like the toys until I saw how comprehensive the program is. Your excellent video has shown me how wrong I was by thinking my Mini was going to be like the others, I had no idea how much was in the program but now after watching this I at least know what I'm in for, very exciting, thanks so much.

First flight...short but sweet .. Reminds me of something else 😅

Brilliant. Learned a lot. Thanks

No one tells you how to turn the drone off, the controller off, and how to charge the controller. Too obvious? But I need to know.

Excellent Tutorial. Very professional and no useless info.

Will it return if the battery gets low or it recognized that you may have gone to far with the battery you have left and return home

Good info

Although I’ve been flying my mini for a while, still not confident, this vlog helped me understand more. You couldn’t have explained it any better, at least for a slow learner like me. More power to your channel! By the way, I am also residing here in North Carolina! Thanks again!

Thank you so much. I have had this drone for awhile and have flown it a few times. But you really explained things that I didn't know. Now I can have even more fun with it. You did a great job of explaining how to fun.

Hi. From South Wales UK. This is most probably the best, instructional video I've seen. Thank you

Can't fly with the old firmware?

Nice tutorial. Done connect and done thumbs up..

So I learned very quickly DO NOT fly this when it’s about to get dark. I just bought mine and was excited to use it when I got off work. I felt like it was still light out so I was good mannnn I flew it for 10 minutes and it said “low light, losing signal” or something along those lines. When I tell you it was getting dark fast!!! I clicked RTH and for some reason it kept flying higher then I got an alert that said my drone was outside of the legal height in my area. I didn’t realize I didn’t know how to move the camera so I can see what was below, I thought it was lost , I was stressed 🫠 so now I’m taking notes I thought I watched enough videos before I got it 😭😭😭

Super guide
Has given me confidence to get my drone out of the box. Can't thank you enough :'-)

My mini and remote won’t connect to one another. Any ideas?

Hi mate
I lost the app in my phone so how can I get the app in my phone ?
