New pilot from Oakville, ON Canada

[David Hind-Smith]

Hey all ... a noob here getting used to flying the Mavic Mini I received last week, my first drone. What a blast to fly, found it pretty easy to pick up the basics. I'm keeping the rotor protectors on when flying outside because I don't want to wreck the thing because of my inexperience. Going to some nice open spaces with no people around and trying to get a little better each day.

I attached a quick shot I took of the neighbourhood last night.

Thanks! Read the manual in detail, watched about 6 hours of YouTube videos featuring the Mini before flying. I have a feeling there is nothing worse for the community then a new drone owner trying to fly the new toy without having a clue.

You are correct but would be surprised how many do.
Good on you.

Hey Bob ... Westoak Trails ...

Nice! I didn’t recognize it to be honest with you. My parents live in that area, and I did try flying once, crazy interference after 500-600m.

Nice night video
