Hello all  
I know many of us know how to set up new drones, but for many others it will be their first time.  
Using my (pretty fantastic) new Mavic 2 Pro, I put together a simple 10 minute guide to all aspects of setting up, activation, firmware update and the basics of the controls, flying and the DJI Go 4 app.  
It should be relevant for the Air, Pro, Mavic 2 Pro and 2 Zoom.

Cheers,  
Ian
