Hi all,
I’m pretty new using Mavic Mini, and it has been around one month that I have it. It has been an exciting learning curve, and I learned a lot over this forum by reading around 5-10 threads per day. I want to keep this thread to a few tips to first and new flyers. I will keep updating it, if you found something missing, please let me know.
1- You just got you Mavic Mini, be careful cause the propellers have some marks and you must follow the marks. The manual exposes where to screw each propeller.
2- I know you are excited to do your first flight, but:
- DJI should highlight this more, but the max wind speed recommended is 8m/s, anything above it, may give you a lot of problems. Depending on your city, this could be hard to reach, and you should be ok. However, other cities (like mine, Rio de Janeiro) have a lot of wind. The “UAV forecast” app gives you a lot of info.
- Another point to be aware is the number of satellites, with the new version you will be able to fly ok with eight satellites, but you going to have a lot of trouble, I strongly recommend you to wait for ten at least
- Do not fly at home on your first flight, but if you still insist on doing it, use the propellers guard! For your first flight outside, it may be nice to use the propellers guards, at least until you feel secure enough to fly without it.
- While it states that it can reach 500m of height and 4Km of distance, do not try it all by yourself. I strongly recommend trying by increasing 200m of distance each flight and 50m height each flight
- Be sure to calibrate the compass and IMU. If you are flying from a building in an urban area, calibrate it before each flight
- Check the screws are tight every first flight of the day. You don’t want to find out that one propeller is loose when you are at 100m height
Tips:
- Check the antennas position; if you are flying right above you, the remote controller antennas should be horizontal. However, to get the max height, you should have some horizontal distance between you and the aircraft, which needs to adjust the remote controller antennas to vertical.
- If you have any problem or crash, there is a log on the aircraft with all the Infos, considering your remote controller info, altitude, speed, etc. So, before opening a thread about it, check how to upload these files. |
