Congrats, beware of the wind especially the higher you go. That is the majority of issues posted. Fly in an open area in C mode until you are comfortable with the controller. Keep your drone fairly low and slow for awhile. And last but not least..... have fun?
Good advice. I’d add to set the RTH height above any obstruction.
DaVinci is free... the free version a little limiting, but costs nothing to learn with it.
Never thought about that. Excellent point..
I’m a few weeks further along than you. My limited advice is utilize Flight Protection. It’s located under Safety in the System Settings. You can set Max Altitude, Max Distance, Auto RTH Altitude settings. I’ve flown about a dozen flights outside and have not put my cap altitude above 35m. My max distance so far is 250m. For me, it’s peace of mind.
Really be aware of the wind speeds and do not take chances flying in any kind of a high wind. You will have many enjoyable hours of flying if you just use caution.
Don’t fly it in windy conditions...... PERIOD. Unless you are prepared to lose your drone. A simple search on “lost my Mavic Mini” will result in literally dozens of posts and hundreds of comments. Even pilots with hundreds of hours of flight time logged are finding it VERY susceptible to wind related fly always. Especially if you new to quad UAV flying. DJI has created a great little drone for the UAV community, but as has been said on this and all other DJI forums, the Mavic Mini can be very unforgiving if you do not understand the flight characteristics of this little UAV. READ THE MANUAL. Watch the hundreds of video on YouTube regarding flying the MM. In your excitement to fly your new drone, don’t overlook the preparation and knowledge needed to fly your MM, or you will be very sad when it becomes a tiny dot in the sky and no way to recover it!!!!!!! Just my .02 cents.
