Just did my third flight and first real one where I was checking out some really nice scenery.  I even went into manual camera setting as it looked to bright and played around with shutter speed and exposure to make it look great on my phone.  Flew around until I got the low battery warning came back and landed.. just at that moment I realized - I never clicked the record button.  
dang dang dang...  
I need an "auto record on launch" switch in the settings.  I hope I've learned my lesson but that is the type of thing I can see myself doing again.

LOL....I just did that today.  I was a little more adventurous with my Mavic and got some distance in.  Came home to import the footage in FCP and realized the memory card was empty.  I am coming from a Phantom 2 where I used my GoPro so it was always on.  I don't think I'll be repeating this error.

Just stick a sticker on top of your remote: RECORD! And you will not forget it... After a while, you can remove it.

I think we've all done that once or twice.
Worse is when you know you're recording, and you land, and you shut the drone off without stopping the recording first so it can save to file...
Not sure about on the Mavic, but on the Phantom it would then erase the data if the recording wasn't stopped before the drone was shut off.
