SF Bay Area - Mini 2

[rgreenberg2000]

Just checking in from the SF Bay Area. I recently sold off my Inspire 1 v2 that I had for several years, and picked up a Mini 2 to stay in the drone pilot game. I just had it up today for a few quick check flights, and am sure that I am going to enjoy the capabilities and portability of this little guy! I stayed in my back yard, did a little slow speed flying to get used to maneuvering the Mini 2, and then sent it up to grab a couple easy vids/snaps of the view. Everything seems to be operating as it should, and I'm looking forward to heading out somewhere other than suburbia to capture some footage.

Firmware is 1.03.0009, which I was happy to see. I'm definitely in the "don't upgrade unless you need to camp" since I've experienced a few issues with new firmware in the past.
Using an iPhone XR as my device since I just upgraded my wife's old phone.

I'm sure I'll have a question or two along the way, and will be sure to share any decent images/videos that I manage to grab.
