This is my first time out with the Mavic having only received it on Friday.
Couldn't go out much at the weekend, but did a couple of test flights in the back yard.
Nerves were on edge slightly in the yard due to proximity of fences etc.
So, today, went out to our local park. Was a nice day, albeit slightly windy (gusting up to 15mph). Virtually no-one on the park, especially the top field as many don’t wander up there.
Got to say, having the freedom to actually fly has blown me away a little. Was a little nervous due to the wind, but the Mavic handled it easily.
Didn't wander too far or too high initially, just doing laps, figure of eights, reverse flying, take-off's / landings etc. Feel a little more confident now I have had chance to fly in the open.
I did have record on whilst flying, but wasn't paying attention to filming. Will review the footage later.
I did get chance to try the Hangar 360 app out - Again, was nervous as it flies up to 300 feet autonomously - Got a crick in my neck keeping my eye on the Mavic up there.
Here's the result - Not bad for a first go.
