Well....... it happened!
Woke up this morning and couldn't hear any wind outside (it's been terrible here in the UK this week) so grabbed my phone and checked UAV Forecast and got a green light with 10-15mph winds!
Got all my kit together and drove a short distance to some open countryside, did a quick check that all was good, and pressed "that button"......up she rose and sat there looking at me, the compulsion to zoom it off into the distance was hard to control, unlike the Mavic!
Much quieter than I expected, even after watching pretty much every video on the tube, and although the wind increased twofold the higher she went, the Mavic handled it very well, and I couldn't have been more impressed!
The first "RTH" was about 10' off (which was a bit strange!) and the next was spot on, apart from that all went smoothly, BUT, in my haste............. I forgot to hit record, Doh!!
Lucky we went when we did, as the heavens opened once more and am now back indoors with a big grin on my face!
Happy times!!
