Hello from Missouri

[Boback]

Another new pilot checking in. Recently purchased a Mavic Air and already had several flights. Been flying RC aircraft (Airplanes and Helicopters) for 35+ years, so I know my way around these RCs plus quads (also have a few toy quads). Now learning all the tricks and techniques for still and video photography with this new aircraft.

Thanks for the welcome. But, I have an Mavic Air, not a Mavic Mini. I did previously find the documents for the Mavic Air and I have been reading them. I am one of those that reads all the manuals.

Thanks

Thanks for all the welcomes. I have been downloading and reading all the manuals, flyers and other information DJI offers; as well as many of the YouTube Videos I can find. I find flying not an issue, although the releasing of the sticks and it stops and hovers go against all my experience with Radio Controlled Aircraft, but I am use to it now. Now I have been studying all the controls and settings on the controllers (and I thought my RC Controller was complicated (Spectrum DX9)) and then work on the camera features and settings. I got a lot of studying to do, and I expect few flying days between now and spring (6" snow predicted today).
