Welcome Spiros.
Καλώς ήρθες Σπύρο.

Welcome to our Forum, from Hauptmann in Texas USA!

Я надеюсь, что вы найдете свой Mavic Mini! When you find it, practice using the “Find My Drone” App, and
read the manual.


You picked a good drone in the Mini. Don't be fooled by its small size and low price. It's a high performance quad with a good camera.

At 249 grams, the Mini doesn’t handle wind as well as heavier drones, so on windy days, fly so that you'll have a tailwind on the way back. Many of our members have lost our Minis due to high winds.

I hope DJI updates the Fly App with larger fonts to make it easier to read. Some of our members have trouble with it. Also, you might consider hacking the FCC mode. It will give you higher signal strength and better protection from lost connection.

Я очень рад, что ты присоединился к нам, Спирос. Счастливого полета!
 
Welcome Spiros!

Sorry to hear about your loss :( But don't give up! Many of us loose their aircrafts, it's a part of the learning process.

The Mavic Mini is so small and light, it is very sensitive to winds. So it is very easy to loose it when you fly, because it is so fun and exhilarating :)

Two things;

1: Is there a "FInd my drone" function in the Fly app? In the Go4 app, there is such a function. Saved my Mavic Pro one time, praise be to DJI.

2: If you don't find it, you could try to post your flight log in the "Crash and flyaway assistance" section of the forum. If you are lucky, one of the geniuses who frequently posts there, might be able to point you in the right direction wherre your Mini went down.

Спасибо Hauptmann, но сначала надо научиться летать, а после FCC взлома :)

If you open the "Find my drone" function, doesn't it show the last known position of your Mini?

Even if the battery is dead, the app will give you the last known position. Have you searched there?

But of course, depending on what happened, if there were disconnects and such, it might not be accurate.
 
Welcome to the forums - a lot of good info here. Also, the search function (magnifying glass icon upper right) is a great way to find answers to many of the questions a "newbie" will have. We were all "newbies" at one point.

Wishing you good luck with finding your bird
