I flew my Mini 2 a couple of times inside, but being in a tall city I have not had much chance to try it out. However I finally managed to take a proper flight.

I see lots of room for improvement with my skills. This first flight I am jerky with the controls, and mix up tilt up and tilt down a few times. Also I am seeing the importance of using 1/60 exposure with ND filters as the motion blur in this shot does not look great.

BTW does anyone know how to change the tilt wheel so it is pull up and push down instead of pull down push up?

Nice one.
You can change the stick sensitivity in the app. (that allows for smoother footage)
But (to my best knowledge) you will have to get used to the orientation of the wheel.

Interesting to see another part of the world. Was this before Typhoon RAI? I hope everyone in the video is safe and well. Your flying/video skills will improve as you gain more experience.

Thanks for the info, I think I just need to be less heavy handed. Going to rewire that wheel.

The typhoon didn't hit this region, we are all fine here.

Good to hear!
It really helps to change the stick sensitivity.

Your islands took a hammering, glad your region missed it. Stay safe!

Thank you. I did hand take off and landing because there was no flat area. Easier to do than expected.

Very nice first flight.  With the latest firmware update you can change the EXP.  Also I've found that using the Pinch method on  the sticks gives me smoother flight that just using my thumbs.
