    After buying the Mavic Air and dutifully watching over 20 how-to videos, yours has been one of the best, if not the best. Careful, thorough, slow and focused, it was extremely helpful to me, and I've got it ready to view again on my iPad as I head outdoors. No annoying music, sportscaster intonation, or gimmicks, thanks for that.

    EXCELLENT video. As always, Ed, you do NOT waste anyone's time. Each second in this 18 minute video is important, useful, easy to understand, and spoken/instructed at the perfect pace, and you cover ALL of the important bases!! Ed, your instructional videos and tutorials are AWESOME, and I ALWAYS recommend your videos to friends who are getting into drones. When I bought my first drone (Mavic Pro), I watched your video before flying, and it gave me all of the preparation I needed before flying! I now have a Mavic 2 Pro. A friend of mine just bought a Mavic Air and I told him that he MUST watch your Beginner's Guide videos before flying. I just watched this video, and of course I gave this link to my friend who just bought a Mavic Air and has never used a drone before. Thanks for producing such GREAT tutorials for those new to drone flying, and thanks for ALL of your awesome instructional videos. Yay yay yippeeekayay yeeehah!
