    Light Suggestions?

    I have a Mini 2 and bought a Firehouse Arc V strobe. Attached using the included Velcro and works great so far.

    Too nervous to fly

    I’m sorry, I should clarify. I didn’t fly around at 350 ft. I took it up that high to take some pics of the skyline. Only went straight up from my position. I was only flying around at around 150-200 ft so I could see it. Was a beautiful day in Texas so it was easy to spot.

    I’m more nervous about flying somewhere that I’m not supposed to. Sure I can follow the maps but is it someone’s property and will they get angry?

    Too nervous to fly

    So I got my mini 2 in Oct 2022 and have barely flown it. I live in a neighborhood and flew it straight up, took some photos, and brought it right back down. I don’t know where to fly. I know not to fly over other peoples homes, or traffic, etc. and that limits my take offs from home. I live in...
