Who is the Winner of the give away??
@@Abhishekyadav-de9se Andrew Song won last video's Mavic Mini.
@@EdRickerVlogs ya i saw it. l lose again. Feeling bad ☹️
@@Abhishekyadav-de9se Don't feel bad, almost 18,000 other people lost too.
@@EdRickerVlogs ya you are right but i i sad because i had never flew any drone and i can't buy one. That's why I am sad.
This is not just for beginners. All Mini flyers should review this video before their first flight. This is really excellent work Ed!
Agree with Idaho Quadcopter. I have not purchased my first drone (gotta wait until after Jan. 1st). But, I have watched many, many other CZcams tutorials and you're very thorough on what drone pilots need to know. I've had too many photog friends... fly them once and crash or have fly-offs.Thanks

WORD
This is so true I have been flying for awhile (phantom 4 pro )and I got my hands on a maverick mini and I have learned things things here I did not know before thanks
So far I'm stuck. Fail.
I usually just jump in and try things, I’m glad I took the time to watch your tutorial. You saved me from a crash and burn.
Always learning something! - I have watched alot of these mini vids but this is the first that mentioned that the unit has what I would call "return to me" as I plan to use mine off my boat so thats a huge feature. Thanks!
Many years ago, make that decades, I used to fly competition RC aerobatics. Congratulations as this is the best and most complete introduction to drone flying I have seen.
This is one complete, comprehensive, very well narrated, and chock full content video for us newbies. Excellent!!!
Ed, compliments on an excellent beginner video. One thing that makes it so amazing is that some that will watch it have yet to see any of your videos with FPV drones. To see that much talented experience be able to explain the basics to get started in this very effective manner is fantastic. Thank you
Just got my Mini two days ago & this evening, have watched many different videos to help me learn & understand this drone. I'll have to say....your video is the BEST I've seen all night. SO detailed in many ways and for a newbie, this is exactly what I needed to see. Thank you! Looking forward to watching more of your programming!
Cheers Ed, been flying for years, your reviews always teach me something I didn't know, you are the best dude ;-)
Hello Mate, I just want to say. this video is "Brillant Awesome" I'm, a bigginer and you done it well how the set up EASY detail by detail!!! Brillant!!! THANKS A LOT!!!!
I have to add my voice to this because I was so blown away by your tutorial. I’m getting my Mini next week and you have resolved all the nagging little questions l’d been wondering about. Thanks for a great presentation!
Glad it was helpful!
Just bought my Mavic mini and watched this excellent tutorial which is essential for every one. Thank you Ed, intelligent, clear and concise.
I've been researching the Mavic Mini for a couple of months now. Just bought it this the weekend and waiting for it to be delivered. This is by far the best tutorial I've seen. easy and simple. but also gave some tips that other reviewers never touched on. Well done
absolutely fantastic video, very thorough! My mini is landing here this Friday and I can't wait!! This was absolutely the perfect video I needed to see thank you!!
Thanks for this. My Mini is arriving in the next day or two, and I’ve watched a lot of videos since I ordered it at the beginning of the month. You covered stuff that nobody else had mentioned, so well done, and thumbs up.
I just got mine. And I agree with everything you said here. He's the first one to cover "everything." I'm not new to flying, but this is my first dji drone. I'm so glad I found this vid. I gotta admit, I'm a little nervous with so much to learn. Hope you had a good first flight. I'm going to get mine registered, and try my first flight after some coffee. Gotta get my eyes open first. I was just curious how your first flight went. Cheers ..
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.
My Mavic Mini arrives tomorrow, for the last 2 days I've been absorbing as much info as I can about this little beast. By far the best of the lot is this video, actually I'm going to watch it again while having lunch. Thanks so much I now feel I am prepared to unbox and fly immediately.
Listen ........... here comes the echo! This is THE BEST simple mini drone tutorial. Cannot fault it. I look forward to learning more via your videos. THANKS.
Honestly, the best Mavic Mini review!
Keep up with your amazing work! :)
The second video I've watched as a beginner tutorial, and I can't think of the other guys video right now, but both are saved, outstanding material, easy to follow, and you keep our attention. Excellent, and Thank you so much for YOUR time.
Saving this video for a refresher when the weather turns nicer. Best one I've seen.
I honestly I do like to watch your vids... since last year when I first start playing and getting to drone world... wow.. it’s been a year and I still keep watching... keep it’s good work Sir, yes.. I’m on the way to get the Mini.. but I think ... I don’t know may be I get Evo.... I haven’t seen Mini yet, only on line order.. even Best Buy still have to order... but I been love Evo since last year, any way... thank you for your time and money again to make a greatest video again Sir...
Never flown a drone but having seen this I have lost the trepidation that I previously had. An excellent tutorial.
Really covered everything a first time Mavic Mini owner needs to get off the ground. Straight to the point without a bunch of useless info. I really appreciate your approach!
Thank you Brother Ricker... appreciate your tutorials. Just got the Pro 2 & the mini .
Have just managed to get my hands on a fly more combo here in the UK. I'm a drone novice, so I will be relying on this video a lot. Thanks!
One of the best on the MM. Thank you very much 👍
I have been flying drones for a couple of years and watched a few tutorials. You never stop learniing and your video is one of the best .
This was the best instruction video, the 4 hours of “Beginners “ footage, I’ve watched today before I head to Costco tomm and pick one up.
Thank you
Hi, I have been trying to find clue how to move/tilt gimbal in quite a while. Watched a lot of youtube videos but nobody described clearly how it is done. Finally found it in your video. Thank you so much :)
I was having the same problem then my drone friend said " remove that plastic cover " lol.
Years flying drones...my mini is set to arrive in a few hours. This info will be super helpful, one of the better videos I have watched. A sincere thanks!
I'm expecting my MAVIC to arrive tonight. Can't wait too. Very excited already.
@@mateotalag9613 I have had mine 6 weeks now. Exceptional in every way. you will be quite pleased I believe.
Just bought the Mavic Mini. This tutorial is great to learn all the specs and howtos in one video. Thanks for the clear explanation.
This may be the best starting tutorial I've watched. Great stuff with the details in the app menus and flight controls!
Definitely the best detailed step by step video I have ever experienced. This is what we need. Enjoyed it. Please don't forget to see my previous question that was posted in reference to using my iPhone 11 Pro Max with the Mavic Mini drone. Thank you so much.
Absolutely the *best* Mavic Mini tutorial on CZcams! Very comprehensive, easy to follow. Thank you.
I watched 3 beginner's guides to the Mini Ed, yours was the best. Nice pace, good detailed coverage, didn't skip steps or assume knowledge. Felt like somebody was there with you as you open the box to make sure you do everything right, including those awkward things like updating software etc... 👍🏻
Straight to the point, super helpful video ✨
Hi Ed - this is an excellent intro video. I learned a lot prior to making my first flight outdoors tomorrow. Cheers!
Great video. I am new to flying and already have had a few crashes. I watched this as a refresher and realized how many things I was a unaware of. That’s on me. Now, feeling much better about flying the Mini. Thank you very much.
Man your tutorial video is impressive. You just helped me to fly my Mavic Mini for the first time without a need to watch any other videos. Simple, lot of details, and professional. Thank you for your excellent work on the video.
This is a great video for a beginner or seasoned flyer. I fly in Beautiful Nova Scotia Canada and we have similar flight restrictions as the USA.
@@parry4now Have you ever flown a drown prior to this drone? A lot of users assume they can fly right away. If you are in Dartmouth you may be in a flight restrictions area like Shearwater flight zone. If you buy from Bestbuy and have issues drop into Dr drone on Baker drive. They can help with all your issues that are DJI related that is.
Great video! I wish this was available when I took delivery of mine in mid November, it would have made things much easier and less of a guessing game (being that the Mini is my first drone).
Thank you so much!!! This is the best guide for a beginner who just likes me. I just bought Mavic mini today and I'm so excited to test flight tomorrow!!!!!
Had my first go at the mini today and my first time piloting a drone. All three flights were successful, thanks for the great tutorial.
First off, awesome video!
Secondly, I thought I recognized the buildings in the city when you first took off. Then you opened up maps and I saw "Lake wheeler rd." and "Fuller st." Dude, you are flying in a park really close to where I used to live! I lived in the Raleigh area for over 15 years. Looks like you are at Dorothea Dix, or the dog park right next to it, it seems. So cool!
Having watched a heap of videos on the mini this one details points the others missed. Maiden flight this Saturday, many thanks from the Far North of New Zealand!
I just took mine out yesterday,so much fun and so easy to fly! amazing how good and stable the footage is even with a bit of wind
Appreciate this. I've had a Mavic Pro Platinum for several years, but still found this video a great watch before firing up my brand new Mavic Mini.
One of the most informative videos I've ever seen on any topic. Covered all my questions that other reviewers missed. Like how to control the camera.
Pro tip- For fixing cracks in plastic, use a product called weld on. It's usually a liquid or syrup paste that melts the plastic and bonds it back together like it came from the factory. It doesn't work with all plastic, but give it a try or research the type of plastic you have. I use it in my sign manufacturing business. It's pretty cool stuff!!! Good video BTW. This is my first non toy quad!
Thanks bro
Sick drone still looking for a job so I can buy this drone!
BadryOnCZcams is very tempting but the signal is very low
I have been looking on so many videos for help explaining the entire MM and this is the most thorough I have found yet. Thankyou Ed!
As always, you cover fully what is needed to enjoy flying this little girl. My Mini arrives this week. Great back up to my mew Air 2🚁👍👍
We aren't really "pilots" we have toys that fly, but I still tell women I am a pilot when we meet. Hard to believe I am still single. LOL!
This may be one of the best small-scale drones ever made. DJI knocked it out of the f*cking park.
What an excellent beginners tutorial, a very easy an understandable explanation of all the functions.
I’m now ready to fly!
Just purchased my Mavic mini today. Well done video!! I love CZcams for quick help and you are an absolute asset to the community!!
This is the best video I ever saw related to Mavic Mini tutorial and tips, and I keep coming back to it every single time I go out to fly as I'm a beginner. Congratulations, you deserve.
Nice job .. good information and you presented this very well. One of the better instructional videos I’ve seen and I been flying fixed wing, corporate jets for well over 30 years !
Nice tutorial. Thank you for speaking clearly and not over dramatizing everything.
seen many video but this one is a must.well done pal,learned some things I did not know before and thanks Ed
I have watch about a dozen video on the mini mavic and I have got to say, this video is simply the best.
Great job
🙌🏾 best tutorial ever hands down!!!!
So when I bought my first mavic pro i had to look up how to get it to take off and you made it extremely easy! now i have the mini and thank god was able to figure this one out by my self but really cool to see your still doing videos! Cheers mate
This one is REAL tutorial for beginners. I watched and like few others but this one really gave me confident that I can fly. Very in depth without any extra BS. One more thing I am found out that we both are local. Hope fully one day I meet you. Thanks for great video. Big thumbs up.
been watching mm videos for a month waiting for santa to bring mine.this is the best tutorial that I have watched so far.Great job!!!
Thanks, BEST tutorial so far.. just got my drone today now I feel better for my 1st flight.
Just got my Mavic Mini yesterday and tried it out for the first time...before I saw video. Now I am ready to try it again with all the info and education!! Thanks Ed!
One of the best intros to operating the Mini. Thank you.
Thank you for this video! I just ordered my drone and was thinking I’d have to make a video like this for others after I learned how to use it. All I’ve seen online are reviews. Thank you for showing how to actually use it. Can’t wait to get mine in next week.
Thank you, I've just bought the Mavic Mini, I have no experience at all so I decided to sit and study tutorials before I even opened the box "that took some self control I can tell you" and I'll watch your video again and then try a little test flight, just wanted to say again thank you for taking the time to upload the tutorial, regards James
North Wales (UK)
I just got my Mini, my first drone. This video helped a lot. Thank you!
I'm going to watch this again (in one session) before I do my first flight, now that I have managed to charge both the drone and the controller, which is what I was initially looking for information about, when I began searching CZcams for DJI Mavic Mini tutorial videos.
Just ordered mini....this is the best Mavic Mini video on CZcams. I’ve watched several. Subbed you on two channels. God bless. I’ll watch couple more times to get all information in my mind before I fly mini. Thanks....!
Incredible tutorial! Thanks for taking the time to put this together. I think I read one review that said normally the person just jumps right in. I’m the same way. I think I would have either lost it or damaged it first flight without watching this first. Thanks for doing this!!!
I just acquired my Mavic Mini...looked at 10 other videos on how to start....this is by far the best. Thanks.
mr ricker. can i say ive watched many tutorials on drones and you come out first. congratulations. you make it easy to understand and come over very clear. thanks alan
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.
One of the best instructional videos out there. Thank You, Ed.
Best video camera drone instruction ever. I've been on the fence about purchasing this drone until now. This video has let me know exactly what I'm in for.Thank you so much keep up the good work.
Awesome video. Just bought my Mini and have used this to get ready for my first flight. Thank you.
One of the simplest, yet best videos for beginning to fly with the mavic mini!
This is the best getting started video I have seen! Thank you, clear concise complete.
So glad that I came across this video. My Cji Mavic Mini arrives next week. And to be honest i really haven't got a clue. I'm going to watch it several times and take the excellent information onboard. Thanks very much indeed for sharing. It's very much appreciated.
I just got mine today. Waiting for the Micro SD tomorrow and I cant wait to try it. Thank you so much for the awesome review.
Great job, love the menu explanations. I will be watching more of yours.
Great work, I just brought my Mini a few days ago. This is the best beginner video I have seen so far. Thanks.
Great introductory video. I took my Mini out a couple months ago, wind caught it and ended up hooked in a tree, fortunately was able to retrieve it, but lost confidence to fly it again, but this definitely makes it simple and clear, should've watched this first!!
Bravo! This is my best tutorial ever. Easy To understand and remember. Thank you for creating this.
Great tutorial you have done ! Thanks a lot for your smart advices. I just got the Mavic Mini as a present for my anniversary ! It's a wonderfull little airplane. I love it... But I still enjoy my tiny Tello as well. Many thanks Ed.
Best vid for the mini hands down. Well spoken and professionally done
by far you have made the best review i've seen so far, thank you
One of the best tutorials ive watched..Thanks. I got my own mini just today..
Best tutorial video for beginners, really helps especially during RETURN HOME process, gimbal settings also
Such a fantastic piece of work. You explain everything so clearly and the right speed so I have time to understand the content. Well done Ed!!
Thanks Ed for the great intro to the Mavic Mini! I just completed my first flight and was very confident in the operation. No crashes 😬
What a great video, I opened the box and followed you every step of the way right through to my first flight. I'll be watching this a few times again and hopefully mastering those control settings.
Thanks heaps
As always, the way you explain your videos is great...smooth, the perfect voice tone and always assuming that not everyone is an experienced person flying a drone. You "point" to icons, you show the phone screen; you doing the right thing to teach others. Too many people try to show and talk about the same topic, but honestly, after washing those other people I ending not understanding nothing but, with you I always understand I always learn something new. Great and Thanks!
Thanks for watching, glad I make sense!!!
This is a great video, I’d have to say the best from all the other magic mini videos I’ve watched. Covers everything important and what people will use the most!
You the BEST and "plain english" no bullshit instructor. The very best video i have watched for being a BRAND NEW drone owner
Thank you!!
I will have to admit of all the how to videos you are by far the best that I have seen. Thanks for a excellent review.
