G'Day from Perth Western Australia

Welcome to the forum from Chicago the Windy City.
Regarding the wind, windy conditions are one of the causes for a flyaway,
which means, I lost my drone and don't understand why. Please check out Mavic Help and Mavic tips. It will give you a complete list of info, such as preflight check list, safety tips, and how to prevent a flyaway. You have to make the effort to get more info, believe me it will save you grief in the future.

Welcome to the forum!

Brand new pilot here. After reading a lot of threads on here, I decided on The Mavic Air2.

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

• The current Mavic Air 2 manual can be downloaded here (it doesn't come in the box). Other important documents can be found on the Mavic Air 2 downloads page.
  
  
• Check out this getting started guide for some tips not found in the Mavic Air 2 manual.
  
  
• This video covers all the basics of the Mavic Air 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.
