Gotta watch those Mini-2's, they can be way too much fun. I got one last July and now I've got 4 drones.

Welcome to our "Little Club." I too am a Mini 2 Flyer and know the excitement of flight. So, if I may offer some advice.
Do not let the excitement of the moment get the best of you. When you are going out to fly, do it slowly and deliberately. Get used to a set procedure and even practice it.
There are so many things I could write but these are the highlights that I feel need mentioning.
Plug in your phone/tablet into your controller, turn on the Controller and DJI Fly App (if it does not start on its own…). Open the front legs, open the back legs of your drone, then remove the Gimbal Cover.
The Gimbal is the most delicate item and banging or bumping can damage it. I also fastened a short "remove before flight" ribbon to the cover…
Turn on the drone and watch it come to "life" Watching the Gimbal go through its self-check is almost like watching a kitten or puppy opening its eyes for the first time…
Place the drone down so it can acquire its senses (collect satellites, etc…).
Check your battery status (Phone, Drone, and controller), check the signal strength, by now the controller should have reported it updated the Home Point.
Lift off, 1-1/2 meter or so, hover a bit, check the controls (move the drone a bit forward, back, left, right, yaw left and right). But now, your controller will probably report again, Home point Updated.
If you go out in a rush and race thru your start up and take off before the drone has finished it prep, it may update its Home Point over that pond or old tree, you are flying over and in your excitement, you'll fly the drone long past it Low Battery point and when it engages RTH and lands in the pond or in a tree, it will be all on you…
Now go have fun, learn to fly the drone by sight before you take it too out far, depending on the video feed, FPV.
I would also advise you to use YouTube and watch a lot of the Videos on flying and setting up the Mini 2, also read over the user's manual… the link is below in case you did not get one…
Happy Droning
