This video is aimed at Mavic Mini owners who are getting to grips with their first drone.  A list of useful stuff to keep your drone safe and get the most out of it, including updates, compass calibration, where and when to fly, how to prevent and stop flyaways, Find My Drone, low battery functions and hand-catching.....

Cheers

Ian

There's been a few but almost all due to unexpected wind strength, so hopefully these videos will help reduce the casualties

That may well be true. You would hope that they are at least waiting for the green GPS ready for take off message, and that also that the message doesn't appear before it's got enough satellites itself...
