Hi Guys and Gals
I received my Mavic Mini Fly More Combo yesterday. I cannot wait to open this bad boy
up and start experimenting. Can anyone shed some tips about range and antennas and
how they need to be set up for the best flights possible? Is it best to fly in non Wi-Fi areas
such as over beaches, lakes, mountains or hills as we call them in Wales lol? I'm looking
forward to sharing my vids with the community.

welcome to the forum from a fellow Welch flyer,is this your first drone ,if so download the manual and have a good read ,and make yourself aware of the drone code,and the new registration rules that came into force on the 1st december, although the MM is under the 250g weight limit for getting an operator ID, it will be over that limit if you fly outdoors with the prop guards fitted, or if you add a skin or nav lights, go on the CAA website and you will be able to find out all about it,

Welcome to the forum!

Can anyone shed some tips about range and antennas and how they need to be set up for the best flights possible?

Here are some things that should help maximize the your range:

• Enable airplane mode on your mobile device
• Make sure you don't have any other Wi-Fi/cellular devices near the remote controller
• Make sure the remote controller antennas are positioned like this
• Make sure there are no obstacles between the Mavic Mini and remote controller

Is it best to fly in non Wi-Fi areas such as over beaches, lakes, mountains or hills as we call them in Wales lol?

Best? Probably. Required? No.
