Very new pilot

[aslzippo]

Hi everybody,
I am a totally new pilot from France. I received my first drone some days ago and it is a Mavic Mini.
So I dont know anything about drones but I do photography for some years.
I hope I will find many tips here.
Thank you !

You'll find that the Mini almost flies itself. This can lead to overconfidence. Try to be conservative at first, and expand your horizons gradually. The Mini, at only 249 grams, doesn't handle wind as well as the heavier drones do. On windy days it's best to fly the Mini so that you have a tail wind on the way back.

Read your manual (links below), and practice using "Find My Drone". Chances are you'll crash and perhaps lose your drone. Don't wait 'til that happens to try to learn under stress in less than ideal conditions.
