didnt watch your video before..and my mini 3 pro hits a building doing orbital movement...=(

BIGGEST Drone MISTAKES New Pilots Make are not to tacke the insurece

I not listen to commercials

Hahaha I have to really pay attention because the luck of the Irish ☘️

Not buying ext coverage. I got over confident in close quarters 15 miniatures later side moved into tree damaged front prop arm. Best way to get my mini repaired. ImGes where great.

very long winded. great advice but i wish you could shorten this video up. a lot of the dialogue is not needed and repeated

my mini3 pro arrived today and i am shitting myself to use it for the first time lol. But hey ho. tomorrow is the big take off day.

So glad you mentioned birds….a bird attacked my Mavic 2 Pro over Lake Tahoe….bye bye Mavic

Nice sharing sir

Good advise! Now I need a drone.

Good tips. I might also talk about the dangers of losing connection to the drone from the controller.. especially if you have your cell phone attached.

I had sand get in one of the motors on my Mini 3 pro just from a parking lot an it jammed the motor. I had a very difficult time getting it clear. I won’t take off or land on any questionable surface now.

I’m waiting for my Dji mini 3 pro. Just ordered

Yes, you should avoid 'them' scenarios. Those scenarios can sometimes be awkward. (Must be a local dialect)

Have you considered using closed captioning for the Erin impaired?

My new drone lost connection took off I should’ve put my phone number in the battery section. I was only 1000 feet up and I just lost connection.Gone

Landing upside-down is one😂

Cool video, thank you! You have some amazing topography & scenery in Northern Ireland, wow..I bet that helps sell vids and
supplies endless opportunities to explore with your hovering pal, aha. I live in rural Wisconsin & am considering buying this
make/model drone.. (RPV, yes?) 😁 We have much for both trees and birds..I see in comments some recommend a wrap to
help keep the fine feathered friends clear, that's cool. A sub + 🔔 from moi, thnx! 🙂

Great advices and the birds advice are welcome, they can crash it or you can hurt them.

New pilot here. I wrecked my drone a few times but I have a gimble overload error and it's really warm. I can't seem to calibrate it now either. Recomendation?

Really helpful. Thank you.

sport mode turns off sensors, lost a drone because i didn't know

Thank you

Are these drone arm supposed to be a bit of play when folded in,brand new,fronts slight in out play when folded in

Very Informative, thank you.

If I wanted to survey beaches for plastic waste, would you recommend Mini Pro 3, or Mavic 3 please?

good video

I can't understand you but I subscribed. Good info.

Great video, thanks!

I'm a real beginner, but have got my Flyer ID and about to buy the DJI Mini 3 Pro and your videos and training are brilliant-and enjoyable. Thank you very much.

Thanks

"dont hold your drone like this in the wind"

Proceeds to hold it like that in the wind

I have just purchased the DJI Mini 3 Pro and I haven’t flown yet this video is great. Thank you and hope when the wind dies down I can head out and learn my trade!

Just a suggestion, carry one of those extendable pocket magnets!!!!! Helps a whole bunch, DJI Mavic Pro 2 Hasselblad owner

I reckon a small Matt is what you need to do the launching with just like a piece of artificial turf or something you can roll up and stick in the bottom of your bag, or even just a piece of cloth you can put that on the ground and you can launch your drone from that, that's what I do

in other words dont take it to the beach

Good video, thanks!

For hand take off...don't use the manual control. .just use the automatice take off ..works perfect everytime!

If testing obstacle avoidance, dont test it way out on cliffs or around the sea...you'd be best testing that in a controlled environment to get confident before using in a real shoot situation!

There is no need to take off from sand! You can very easily take off from your hand using automatic take off...then return and land using your hand then just hold the drone till the blades stop...don't turn the drone over as over time this could burn out the motors!

Great tips, man thank you!

Another two things that I recognized while flying older drones. When facing strong sun directly, the obstacle sensors might be confused and think there is an obstacle and stop the drone. So I needed to fly backwards or turn off the sensors to get it back. Maybe the issue is fixed now or maybe they are using a different technik now.

Flying in fog or clouds can also confuse the sensors facing down. It happened to me a couple of times, that the drone surprisingly startet to land while the ground was still far away, just because it was all grey under the drone. You need to manually stop the landing than. Otherwise you might loose the drone.

can anyone tell me about emergency feature,can it switch of in settings?

Do you know which drone best?

I purchased the sun shade cover for my controller and I never have to remove the control sticks.

Did you say the recommended wind speed is 8 to 10 km an hour?

When you hand launch, pull both sticks to down+center and throw the drone she will autmaticly start flying

Don’t fly low over water. I’ve lost two drones that way. The water reflection causes the drone to suddenly drop.

Very useful information, thank you🤙🏽

so active track in forest or bush or walking in park, will not work ? Please advise as the trees or on the sides.

Amazing video! Well put together, extremely informative and beautiful scenery.....THANK YOU
