A tutorial on how to get started with flying a drone. This demo is performed using a DJI Mini 4 Pro and is relevant to most drones especially using the Mode 2 joystick set up.

Thanks for visiting my channel, viewing my content, and for all the likes, shares and comments. I have put together this video after several requests from beginner drone operators/pilots or persons intending to get their first drone who have asked me to demonstrate the process of a beginner's approach to flying a drone.

I am not an expert nor am I a sleek YouTuber/Content Creator, I just aim to make honest, organic videos to offer help to others who may be reluctant to ask on forums the type of questions that get shot down or made fun of. I have shot this video pretty much in one go and so have made the odd error, tripped over my words etc so please forgive the little mistakes. If you are unaware of what I have outlined, described, or even said in my broad Lancashire accent, all comments are greatly received. I will answer all questions to the best of my knowledge or ability. Once again, thank you for supporting my channel. It is very much appreciated.

Karl.
