Preflight check list. A short & simple one.

[Dronealta]

Here are my checklists for stills and video. I do not list the more obvious things like drone condition, Return Home setting etc. I just list the items which are very easy to forget with the excitement of getting airborne. I mount this on a small piece of card with Stills on one side and Video on the reverse. Note FOCUS on video. It's so easy to forget to touch focus at the start of each take.

More icons and less blahblah

I'm trying to build a quick "Mavic Pro Flight Check list" for newbies like me.

I would appreciate your feedback for corrections or improvements with your experience, as I'm sure I forgot some important steps. The idea is to keep it simple, in one single page, easily readable on a mobile.

Thanks for your time and fly safe!
