    Got bit today

    Yesterday I took my Mini2 out for its first flight. I nearly lost it while flying in 2 and 4 x mode since I did not recognize the the landscape that I normally fly over.

    I’ve got a few issues

    Not use to Mavic style controller, questions...

    You can use a normal lightning cable or get a short one so it is not hanging in the way. I would post a picture but Photo Bucket raised their prices by ten times.

    Mavic Air - Prop Guard issue, extremely slower

    I look at the prop guards as something that you would use indoors. Also for your first few flights while learning I don't have a set for my Mavic Pro or the P4P+.

    Not use to Mavic style controller, questions...
