Hi all.
Bought myself a Mavic mini last week and completed my first couple of flights without incident. Off to North Cornwall for a few days on Monday so looking forward to more practice and interesting locations.
Just need to gain a bit more confidence before increasing the range and having some trust in the RTH button ?

Congratulations! That's exciting, nice drone, you'll have some brilliant videos and photos.
RTH never fails me, one of my favorite features.
Good luck!

Welcome to our forum, from Texas, USA (one of your former colonies)!

You'll find that Minis almost fly themselves. This can lead to overconfidence. Try to be conservative at first, and expand your horizons gradually. The Mini, at only 249 grams, doesn't handle wind as well as the heavier drones do. On windy days--you get those in the UK--, it's best to fly the Mini so that you have a tail wind on the way back.

Read your manual, and practice using "Find My Drone". Chances are you'll crash and perhaps lose your drone. Don't wait 'til that happens to try to learn under stress in less than ideal conditions. We have several fellow Brits among our membership, and over 120,000 more from around the world who will help you learn your new hobby. Ask for help when you need it. Share your work when you can!

Glad you've joined us!
