As a teacher of photography and Photoshop, I can tell you that your pace and information were both excellent. Teaching is actually a skill which can be taught or innate and you've got it. Thank you so much!

    Once again I have learned a better way of doing things. This time it was calibrating the compass. Forever, I have been trying to recalibrate by turning horizontally and vertically by using hand motions. Walking around the landing pad seems to doing the trick much more easily. Thank you. Of course that is not the only thing I have learned but it is the easiest for me to implement immediately. Thank you!

    Hi Ed, there' s also another trick to land safely or actually avoid landing while your mini 2 is hovering just grab it from the bottom safely and flip it there is a safety mechanism that will stop the blades from turning, next you will just power off like you first did while starting it, thank you so much for you wonderful video.

    This is a great tutorial. Thank you. I probably should have watched this before I thought I was being clever and setting out from a back yard in the dark and crashing straight into a fence 😂.

    Thanks so much. I just bought one of these, having flown larger drones in the past. Your tutorials are a must as they seem to nail everything you need to know before the first flight. Just wanted to add to what you said about battery life. LiPo batteries are not meant to be drained below about 20%, to maintain them in the best of health. I have had one land with 30 seconds life remaining in the past (a massive headwind on the return leg). I presume DJI don't build in any kind of contingency to avoid over-draining batteries, other than the warning level. So yeah, exactly as you said, don''t take chances and get it on the ground as soon as, when you get below about 30%. Nice tutorial - thank you again

      RULE OF THUMB FOR ME IS AS SOON AS I GET THE LOW BATTERY WARNING. I HIT RTH IMMEDIATELY AND UNLESS I AM IN A WIDE OPEN AREA, I DONT EVER FLY MY DRONE TO THE POINT WHERE I CANT SEE IT ANYMORE WHICH TO ME IS TO FAR AND USUALLY DONT GO PAST A HALF MILE AWAY EVEN IN A WIDE OPEN AREA AND I HAVE NO PROBLEM YET DOING IT THAT WAY.

    Thanks for the awesome, informative video! I just got a Mini 2 from a friend who refurbishes drones. Your video (both parts) has helped me understand how it works, and saved me a ton of research. Thanks again!
