  • Here is a collection of tips and tricks for the DJI Mavic Mini. These tips will help new pilots of the Mavic Mini get the most out of their new drone. We offer some tips for helping you capture cinematic video, gimbal settings, some tips for using the DJI Fly App and some general tips of the aircraft hardware and flying it for the first time. Flying your first drone can be a little nerve-racking, I hope that my tips will help you along on your journey of learning to fly.

    Great beginers info, thanks. I've decided to be patient and wait a few weeks for mine and upgrade to an ipad pro and a table mount first so I have a bit more screen for my ageing eyes and a good place to edit my video. Now just a little more patience.

    This is the second of your videos that I've watched, and both have been very helpful. I just bought the Mavic Mini used from a friend of mine, but first he let me play with it. Before I even walked out the house, I found your "beginners" video and watched that, and was able to launch and fly the drone without incident. Now that I've purchased the drone, I just watched this video, which is the perfect sequel to the "beginners" vid. Thanks for taking the time to make informative and enjoyable videos.

      @teknoxjr Před 3 lety +1

      Shetonya biggins You make an excellent point. I have flown my Mini only a hand full of times in the past few months. I must say that if you are the least bit interested in owning a first drone I highly recommend this model. Video is very very good and everything is easy to take with you. If you are creative and have some extra time it’s very possible to create some stunning video footage. For me all of that will be a learning curve in addition to being a good pilot and maneuvering the drone. It is a rewarding feeling to takeoff fly around and come back with some awesome video. Even though I don’t fly as often as I’d like to I think I made a good investment. Something really interesting to have at my disposal. I am in fact glad I purchased the Mimi

      @tpaine7680 Před 2 lety

      It's probably possible, but it's generally not a good idea, as that overheats the battery, which is not how you want to treat it. Haven't read instructions in full, but it's possible they tell you not to to avoid even an explosion risk.
