Welcome to the forum from Chicago the Windy City.
This forum is very useful, in helping you gain knowledge and confidence when flying your selfie camera, it’s has never been designed as a long distance flyer. A couple of other tips for you, are that the mini does not be fit from having occusync, which means it’s signal is more prone to interference from a high WiFi use area. And, it’s very light,
so check your wind, before you fly. Above all, fly safe.
