Hi from Woodstock Ontario Canada. I'm a total Newbie having inherited a brand new, unflown Mavic Air 2 from my daughter. I'm in the very early stages of reading, assessing licensing requirements, drone registration, operation and flight rules. As this drone is above 250g it's a whole other world than with sub-250g drones. If I was buying a drone it would have been from the DJI Mini series which would have made my life much simpler.
When I get all the above done I'll need to find an open space with nothing to bash into for a km or more all around, plus no-one close enough to annoy. That won't be easy. Wish me luck!

Welcome to the go from Len in South Wales . U.K. enjoy, cheers

Hello from Peaks Island, Maine. We have had our Mini 2 for a year now, but I still feel like a newby. I endorse the suggestion below that you work repeatedly with a few set commands. Even now, my effort to rotate clockwise results about 30% of the time in CCW motion. It is sometimes difficult to keep in mind which way the drone is "pointing."
