Mistakes made my me.

After my Mini 2 arrived, I charged batteries, and fretted as sunset approached.  Dammit, updates, but the sun is setting!    Hurry up!  Bind aircraft to the controller, Come on! Calibrate Compass AND IMU.  DAMMIT!  Take-off... At last!  Yippee!

Wait, did I check RTH altitude?  No.  Check camera settings?  No.  Do any real pre=flight?  No.

Take your time with your new drone.  Be safe.  I did update RTH alt when brain start work...  

Somebody was super anxious to get the MM2  airborne.  Nice footage.

Looks nice!
Congrats!

Hello there Akirasho. Thank you for reaching out and congrats on having a brand new DJI Mini 2. A kind reminder to our fellow users to kindly undergo a pre-flight checklist before the flight. Thank you for your support and happy flying.

1/ Never calibrate Compass unless prompted to. Your compass will always prompt to calibrate if it needs it .

2/ start AC leave until you receive enough gps lock ,

3/ if you get Compass interference turn off AC and move to another location,
without interference.

4/ In bottom left hand corner on your map you will see small red triangle, check to make sure that this triangle is pointing in the same direction (heading) as your AC, this will show good compass on the ground.

Raise AC to height of 8ft
Hover for 20 seconds
Fly forward 2ft
Backward 2ft
Left 2ft
Right 2ft
Up 2ft
Down 2ft
Yaw left
Yaw right
Each time returning to hover position
If you have a good horizontal each time, you will then know you have good GPS good IMU and good Compass, and your ready to fly.

This exercise takes less than 2 minutes and is worthwhile doing before every flight,
I believe small triangle is blue ;+)

Very nicely done

Great advice mate

Very nice video

Wow! That video made me start looking for the Mini 2 inventory and where I can get one.

The Mini 2 was fresh out the box.  While not prompted, I did calibrate as a new location....

Good steps to follow.

Good tips,  Also worth re checking most of this after a software update too.
