I've had my Mini since December 2019.  It took a while for the weather to cooperate so I have spent my flight time learning.

Part of learning is in trusting the tech.  Personal mobility issues have made difficult.  Most of my flights have been static hovers and this is no different, but it is an altitude high (don't laff). I lack the mobility to "find my drone".

So I will endeavor to free my mind and trust the tech (but not today).

It's always a good ideal to get to know your bird. Thanks for sharing.

Reminds me of my first one up through the trees. Did the same route yesterday with the new MA2.

Nothing wrong with doing test flights,  Im currently doing a few with the M2P after an IMU switching occurred recently.

Nice capture.

Thanks for sharing the video

Lots of interesting features on that landscape ... one day you should really pick one up and go explore.

The stone park (what is it?) seems a good launching point to go explore around, the vLoS onto one side can reach pretty low if you stay on the opposite side.

My guess is it's a cemetery. Looks like military by the uniformity.

Nice views.
A bit over exposed maybe.

National Cemetery.  The building in the background is a VA hospital, a de facto no fly zone.  The VA facility is massive (including veteran and social services).
