New Drone Pilot Here - Mavic Mini

[Aceselect]

Hi, would just like to say hi from North Nottinghamshire. I am a newbie and just purchased a Mavic Mini and thought this would be a good place to start. I have always been a film maker and photographer since 7 years old but only just got back into it again as a hobby. Always been fascinated by drones and drone footage so I hope the mini maybe the start of something bigger lol

You have an incredible robot there. Enjoy it, read as much as you can about it, and learn its quirks and limits so you know how to use it well.

Some of my very best friends in Vietnam were Aussie EOD. We all lived up on the mountain overlooking VungTau harbor.
GREAT guys like brothers ????

Welcome...I am a Phantom 4 Pilot. We have family in Birmingham. I asked Santa for a Mini for Christmas. How do you like your mini so far?

Brilliant, but I have nothing to compare it too lol, certainly sparked my love of drones and photography again.

Hi, just make sure you fly into the wind at the start of your flight, and use the tail wind to fly back, and don't push the battery, I usually land at 20% battery level. Enjoy.
