Don’t fly it indoors !

[Arnu69]

When you get your mavic mini,Don’t fly it indoors. All the advice I been getting and YouTube clips suggest don’t fly it indoors. So I got a mavic mini and for the first 2 weeks I didn’t fly it indoors. Weather has been terrible here in London with 70 mph winds and rain and for a whole week now I ain’t been able to fly. So I thought why don’t I have a little fly indoors ? I thought no, you shouldn’t really fly it indoors. Oh what’s the harm? So I flew it indoors. It crashed into the refrigerator almost immediately and hit the hard tiled surface with a painful sounding smash!!! Totally my fault, luckily no damage occurred and all I had to do was recalibrate. I won’t be flying it indoors again.

Where you correctly posted this one...

OPPO a9 2020

I have just ordered an OPPO A9 2020 mobile phone. Will it fit in my controller ? It’s 9.1mm thick. I know it’s compatible with the fly app.

If you fly indoors, make sure the area is as bright as possible so that the "visual positioning system" can work, once aloft change the flight mode into "CineSmooth" it's slower and will make the drone easier to fly.
You probably flew it in a dark room

You should translate your indoor flying experience to the outdoors do not fly in confined spaces. Like anywhere near her tree wall house etc. you have learned a lesson that your depth perception is really not that accurate.

I am flattered you all think the drone misbehaved but this crash was purely a pilot error in that I went left when I should have gone forward .lol

Have flown mine indoors, including transitioning from outside to inside during the flight, with no problem. You just need to be prepared to maintain control and stay “on the ball”

Imagine what I’d be like with a flamethrower! ? ?

Flying indoors is pretty simple ... just don’t do anything quickly and make sure is going somewhere it shouldn’t take your fingers off the sticks instead of panicking trying to stop it....

It’s okay to fly indoors if you put on the propeller guards.

Get the propeller guards ... they come in the Fly More Combo or you can probably buy them separately - the Mini will just bounce off of objects and not crash

I did the same thing with my m2p. It wasn't my first time flying indoors, but this time I turned off all the sensors and that was a big mistake. The draft created by the aircraft itself in confined space causes it to drift all over the place and my controlling it manually wasn't very successful, no damage.
