“Drone was advertised to general public”
Just like most dji consumer drones , and the public in general are flying them pretty well.
Mavic mini can’t fly like an inspire or a phantom and anyone who doesn’t realize that is an idiot.
No one is loosing their drone because of sudden gusts or because they don’t realize the wind is changing and their getting caught out, if you know nothing about wind that surrounds you every day then flying a Matrice 200 will warrant the same problems.
Average winds, well that's great because average winds are winds we mostly get, so more time for flying mini users, I'm certain if you had a drone that could only fly in high winds or low winds then less time for flying, so average is best in my book .
Now many Mavic pro drones where lost to the wind , particularly in RTH, I mean it is so much worse than something like a Mavic Air, yet this was the biggest selling consumer drone that was sold to general public ever, so the argument about selling to general public is just a crock.
Are all those flying their mini quite happy, just very lucky or just responsible, I for one have flown without any problems in recommended conditions and environment just as the vast majority have.
Only one problem has been identified here that’s uncontrollable descent, the rest I’m afraid is ignorance .
It might be time to stop handing out the get out of jail idiot card to people, and start trying to teach them how to take care when flying a drone, after all this is an adult hobby, wake up and start smelling the roses .
