Hello from Calgary, Alberta Canada

[Mark69]

Hi everyone. I just picked up a Mavic Mini last week. I am looking forward to a new and exciting hobby. Since we are in the middle of social distancing I have only flown it a couple of time in the backyard. This is probably for the best though. Practice makes perfect, and I do need a lot of practice.
I have been lurking on the forum to glean information before purchasing the Mavic Mini. Thank you all for allowing me to make an informed purchase. I am sure I will have many questions in the weeks ahead.
looking forward to many interesting flights.

Hello and welcome to he world of Mavic mini’s. I also have one and live in Calgary and if it wasn’t for the wind today, it would have been a great day to fly. Be very mindful of the wind. I recommend UAV forecast to see the wind at different elevations. It’s a great app.

Welcome to the forum. I also live in Calgary and fly a Mavic Mini, but mostly when I travel outside of Calgary. I did not yet find a spot within reasonable driving distance from NW Calgary that is not restricted airspace and suitable for flying a drone for fun.

You need to come down south Calgary away from the airport. There’s nice areas along Stoney Tr. and the 22X on the bike paths.

OK, thanks. I will try that. Still a long drive for me...

Hello everyone from Calgary and welcome. I have a question for everyone in this area. It seems to me that for any of us that wants to fly a drone over 250 g in Calgary, the city bylaw states you need to get a permit to fly in any of the hundreds of parks that are not in restricted air space. I have a mini but was considering purchasing the Mavic air 2. But it seems that it may not be worth the hassle. I actually got my “basic” drone certification ahead of my new purchase but now I think it was all for not. What are your thoughts?
