Another newbie but at an older age. Retired and traveling in an RV, chasing the sun

[Old Man]

Wintering in the Yuma Arizona area. New to drones and 73 years old, and love to take pictures. The lure is pictures of areas I can't reach, and some from above. Just bought a DJI mini 2 and love it. Read the manual but see I need to read it a few times to get it to soak in. Thank you for letting me join this group.
My first picture over 10 feet off the ground. My plan is to stay low and safe until I feel comfortable with the controls. Then it's off to the desert and some hills where I can try something a little more daring

Just bought a DJI mini 2 and love it

Here are some things to help you get started with your Mini 2:

• The current Mini 2 manual can be downloaded here (it doesn't come in the box). Other important documents can be found on the Mini 2 downloads page.
  
  
• Check out this getting started guide for some tips not found in the Mini 2 manual.
  
  
• This video covers all the basics of the Mini 2.
  
  
• Your drone batteries will last longer if you use and maintain them like this.
  
  
• Practice flying outdoors in a wide open location that's free of all obstacles. Don't attempt to fly inside your house or in other confined locations.
  
  
• The drone records flight data each time you fly. You can decrypt and view those flight logs with these tools.
  
  
• Check out MavicHelp.com for commonly used accessories you might need.

Welcome aboard!

My father usually winters down there in Yuma, but covid has stalled his plans this year. Moho is parked in cold storage and he's got to stick it out here for the winter. He is not amused.

Happy Flying!

Welcome to the Forum. Nice Sunset. I'd kill, to be 73 again!

Due to life circumstances I have been away from the forums for a while

So first -
Welcome to the forums - a lot of good info here. So, take a look around and hope you enjoy some of the fine photography and information posted by the members.

Also, if you haven't done so yet, consider getting the AirMap and KittyHawk apps. I also suggest this Visualize it: See FAA UAS Data on a Map

I was lucky enough to be in AZ last Sept and had a chance to try out my MA 1 filming some of the scenery

Looks like the area of highway 87 between Phx and Payson?
