if you just got a new drone maybe from santa merry christmas i am going to share with you top tips for taking your drone out of the box and getting set up as quickly as possible while skipping reading the user manual this is the fourth drone i’m setting up so let’s dive in with the first one which is a tip around what to know about the batteries
i know i know i know i know this is so exciting i want to put the propellers in i want to do other stuff but the first thing you should do is get the batteries on the charger one of the things most people get wrong is they think that the batteries are really fast to charge when they take way longer than you ever want them to to charge so get the batteries charging they do not arrive pre-charged so you cannot go outside until your batteries are charged get those on there first which by the way if you’re new here welcome i’m christine and this is drone with cl where i ah i love flying drones and this is all tips and all things to help you this is the beginning of my course check the description i want everyone to get to flying super fast let’s dive into number two the controller let’s put the sticks in to get them in you just take them out of the bottom and then you just turn them into place
next pick your poison depending on what kind of phone you have you’re using your phone to be able to fly your drone and so make sure you have the right cord attached in here to go into your phone now let’s get that sexy body set up if you’re unfamiliar with what’s covering the camera this is simply a gimbal cover and save it it’s great for traveling with or when you’re moving around with your drone but make sure you take it off before your first flight otherwise you won’t be able to look around with your camera
let’s put on the propellers yes so for this part i have a couple key tips to know the first one is that dji is making it very easy to figure out which set of props go on which side so there’s a props and there’s b prompts and so you can simply follow the little images that they provide to you or the second fail-safe way to do this is to match up the colors so the a props have the additional orange matching with orange and the b props have no color so black on black so that’s your fail safe way to make sure you have the correct props on each side and you might have additional spare propellers just hold on to those for some other time one other helpful tip is once you push down turn to get it in just try it out a little bit by lifting it up to make sure that it’s correctly and securely and safely in there and make sure they’re just all on the correct size what happens if you put them on the wrong side your drone won’t take off properly i’ve done it before oops it’s not the end of the world unless that happened on a boat just put the props on right on to the next one
once you have all the propellers on and you’ve taken off all the little tabby thingies then now it’s time to get set up to fly by downloading the dji fly app the dji fly app is the one that you need for the air and the mini otherwise if you have the pro drone like the mavic 3 or 2 pro you’re gonna need the go for app and make sure you just set up your accounts connect your drone add it to your account and that will help you get set up to fly wow a lot of time has passed updating the firmware and getting all of that stuff set while you just sit here and eat a meal it takes a minute and so make sure once you have enough battery get it into your drone while the other ones charge and get set up with the firmware and all the other stuff with your drone and the app just tasty you didn’t get to see it that’s how tasty it was helpful tip turning on the controller and the drone is exactly the same it’s one and hold so you’re pressing it twice once to wake it up once to hold it down and actually turn on the thing that’s the same way you turn it off also so you’re pressing it twice one and hold
another important one is if you want to take photos and videos and my guess is you do make sure you put an sd card into your drone and another one if you care about high quality photos and videos then make sure you can actually write high quality 4k and upwards onto that sd card so i will link my favorite ones in the description below but let’s talk about the next one which is taking it outside to fly if you had some fun with me in this video choose that like button consider subscribing and i bet you have a million questions do i need a launching pad can i actually fly here what are the basic laws i need to know what is this trust exam what is that there’s a lot more content check the description you want to learn with me i am this excited about drones all the time i’ll see you another video bye
