Welcome to our Forum, from the friendly skies of Texas!
The Mini was a good choice. Despite its small size and low price, it has good performance and a fine camera.
The Mini weighs only 249 grams, so it doesn't fly as well in wind as well as the heavier drones. Be careful flying in high winds. Read the manual, and practice using the “Find My Drone” App. Chances are you'll crash and/or lose your Mini. Don't wait until that happens to learn how to recover a lost drone.
Lots of fun stuff to shoot all over Chi-town and the Lake Michigan area. When you have questions, there are over 100,000 of us here to help you be a better pilot and photographer. Just ask!
Happy flying!
