Mavic Mini - My 10 year old grandson flying it outside for the first time

[Mike6158]

I let my grandson fly the Mavic Mini in the house, closely supervise of course. When the wind finally calmed down we went outside (in my yard) and flew it. He did pretty well. You can see where he was having directional troubles (difference between the drone facing toward or away) but that's to be expected. He also flies on instruments (using the screen) too much. I had to frequently remind him to watch the drone. No academy awards will be forthcoming for this one but it was fun.

They were. We maintained enough distance to keep from startling them but they weren't quite sure what to think of it

Very cool that you are teaching him. The cows looked alittle nervous. Great video.

It was like watching one of my videos, but smoother.

Great intro to drone flying for him. He did well. Looking to the future!
