Just got a Mini a couple months ago, general Raleigh area. I've had a few other cheaper drones before and had really lousy luck with them, this was my last shot at trying to fly one, and it appears I made the right choice! Been enjoying flying around my property & along my road - seeing things I didn't even know I had on my land!! The forum has already helped me to decide on the Mini, so I figured it's time to join up.
