Another Newb from Albuquerque

[TG3K]

Hi All - Seeing as how my buddy Rainsong introduced himself here I figured I'd do the same. I'm also pretty new to drone piloting. I picked up a gently used Mavic Mini a couple of months ago and have been having a lot of fun with it. I've already gotten a lot of good info from the folks here on the forum, and I'm looking forward to learning more.

Welcome to our forum, TG3K, from Hauptmann in Texas.

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 (link 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. We have over 100,000 members from around the world--including many in Albuquerque--who will help you learn your new hobby. Ask for help when you need it. Share your work when you can!

Glad you've joined us!
