Theirs lots of videos on YouTube, common mistakes might be worth a search. be sure you understand how return to home works as that seems to catch people out. Tbh, I've flown racing drones ( badly ) and find flying the Mavic fairly easy, that said my son had a mavic before me, so I've learnt a lot from him. Where in the UK are you ?

Yes you can get too much, lol, get out and do some flying make sure you rth height is high enough that it won't crash, but low enough it won't get into strong winds, wind speed increases with altatude. Also make sure sport mode is enabled, you may need it and if it's not enabled that can get you into troubles, it likes to disable itself

Ok, I'm in East London. Not the best place for flying

Hi there..

I’m here in the uk as well, St. Ives near Cambridge. Not long had my Mavic Air. Have had one flight so far, was great

Good news! Just bought my Mavic Air from the official store - first DJI product I have owned and am looking forward to delivery in a week or two. Went for onyx black after a friend recommended it to me

Good choice but make sure you have some earplugs handy - the Air is a very noisy little bugger

Are there any low noise props available for the MA? I saw some light up ones [emoji23][emoji108]

It is not recommended to use after market low noise props on the Mavic Air and DJI doesn’t make them for the Air. There is good info following:-

Mavic Air Low Noise Props?

I have a Mavic Air and it really not that loud.. obviously there is a little noise when taking off, but not in the realms of needing ear plugs.. I’m sure you’ll be fine without

I was joking about needing earplugs.
