Now can I try?
K, hang on. WOAH!
boom boom boom Hi Explorers, Morgan and Chris here documenting our journey
towards full-time family travel. We are so excited to share with you that this week
that we have added a new member to our family Penelope
our little baby the DJI Mavic Mini. Now we named our drone Penelope because this is
the name that we've reserved for a girl in the event that we had one and it
seems like this came first and we're super excited about it
I've always wanted a third child. The DJI Mavic Mini the Everyday Fly Cam. I cannot
tell you how excited Morgan and I are to finally have a small drone that is
gonna come in so handy when we're traveling
this is incredible this is tiny. This looks like a toy
this looks like one of Jonah and Jude's toys it is so small and is so light oh
my goodness that is crazy and I'm guessing this is
the control. Okay this is cool so these fold-down how cool and your phone
goes in here and you able to okay these little things here if you can see
these are the controllers that simply screw in that's so cool that is gonna
come in so handy for traveling cuz it folds all the way, nice and neat and
you're not gonna lose anything. How cool is that?
that's amazing. Look at this it is so small it is crazy if I had to compare it
to something this is, it's like the size of my passport, look at this it's crazy
some stickers to remove off the propellers oh and they fold down whoa
so this drone actually if you notice on the box it does say 249
grams DJ I have made this drone to fly under the safety regulations
without registering in the US and Canada so drones that are under 250 grams
in the U.S. and in Canada do not need to be registered you get to get the box charge
it up and go fly it, but however if you are traveling this drone which I
recommend because it's so small for traveling, very important make sure that
you check wherever you're traveling to that you register or look up the
guidelines for that drone so this is 249 grams which just give you kind of an
idea much that is that is pretty much how
much one of my hard drives weighs- that is crazy
249 grams so right here you can see the camera and another sticker to remove
here it says charge to activate the battery before first time use so that's
very important to make sure that before you use it you charge it. This opens up and in
here is the battery okay so it's a push and release and this looks like it is the
battery which needs to be charged before you fly
so in this box we have a cable okay cable and this is important some
extra joysticks for the control should you lose them and some extra propellers and
a screwdriver this must be very important and vital to the operation so we cannot lose that
that. I'm guessing we have some propellers- yeah so that will be for your propellers, if you replace your propellers there are some propellers
and some extra screws in there so hold on to those
should you break a propeller which I do not plan on doing because that is scary
and then this one looks like another cable, this is for your iPhone to connect
to your controller I believe. Okay this is for different phones to connect to the
controller if I'm reading this correctly I believe so okay so we probably just
need the iPhone connection for that. There is no internal storage on the DJI
Mavic Mini but they do obviously have the micro SD card which goes in here
which you need to put in before you take your drone flying, which is what I am
super excited to do so I'm gonna go charge at this battery which gives you I
think 30 minutes 30 minutes of flight time so I'm going to charge this thing up
and take it out and see what's all about. After totally geeking out I could not
wait to introduce Penelope to her older brother, Jonah
I have literally never seen you so excited. Normally when I go shooting I
am myself for jobs and stuff but I have a
helper today an assistant producer and his name is Jonah. Say hi Jonah. Hi! are you
ready to try and fly the drone. I've never flown a drone before and we cannot crash it because it's a lot of money. [Jonah] Crash it in there. Is it like a toy?
So these open up. Pushes this one up. And then this one too.
[Jonah] How do you do the bottom? [Chris] and than this
flips over. Just gentle.
good job.
and then this side.
Ok good.
and then this here is a little cover that comes off that's just to protect
the camera. You can take it off. So that's it that's all the drones right there. Isn't that crazy? [Jonah] Can we put it on
the table? [Chris] We can but there is a little bit of
snow on there so we probably don't want to right now.
[Jonah- laughing] yes we do!
These pop out
like this [Jonah] That's cool! [Chris] Yeah?
and then these little joysticks come out and you
screw them in like this. [Jonah] Can I screw one in?
[Chris] Yeah you can screw in ready? Ok.
Put in on top. You screw it in.
[Jonah] Ok.
[Chris] Yup. Keep going.
[Jonah] That's a cute picture!
[Chris] Is that us? You, me, mommy and Jude?
This is the app for flying it. I am getting kind of scared
look at that plane. Oh, you know what? I bet it's because we are too close to the airport. That makes a lot of sense right now. Lesson learned.
always check your surrounding areas and check the flight map before you decide
to fly your drone. Luckily my parents do live in a no-fly zone and it wasn't too
far away
Hold it down.
Can I try? Woah!
Ok this one
is up.
I don't know where it's going. Opps.
Hang on can we see ourselves yet?
Oh there we are!
hi guys! Can you waive?
Waive to the drone! We can see ourselves look
I'm going to go get it. Ok?
You can't go get it (laughter) what do you mean you are going to go get it?
Drop. Hang on. Hang on.
(Laughter)
Bring it down.
Now can I try?
Woah. Ok, hang on.
Woah. Oh my god.
Just waive.
Hi!
we did our first flight! Yes! Seeing Penelope and Jonah bond just brings a tear to my eye
thank you so much for watching this week's adventure if you haven't already
subscribed please do so and ring that Bell so we can take you with us on our
adventures as we inch closer to full-time family travel every single week and
comment down below what other equipment do we need for our travels we are so
interested in this we think that we've got a pretty good set up but we
definitely are open to other ideas! And if you let this video and you love
Penelope as much as we do smash that like button, have a great
week! Adios. Can you what? [Jonah] land it on your head? [Chris] Cna you land the drone on my head? I think if you landed the drone on my
head it would probably knock me out. [Jonah] No it won't (laughter). If you want to fall you can fall I guess? [Jonah] Should I do it? If you
want. [Chris] Oh no! Where is Jonah? Seeing Penelope. Stop!
It saw authorization zones connect aircraft. It says.
positions connect their craft... What are you doing?
Say bye! [Jonah] Bye! [Chris] Stop chewing on me. Are you hungry, are you hungry, are you hungry?
