Several months ago I asked around for help selecting a drone, and you guys responded with a lot of input and advice.
So today was my first flight of the new one. DJI Mavic Mini. Thank you all for convincing me that it was worth spending the money on a better quality one. This thing is EASY to fly. Stays under control really well. 10 minutes after takeoff (after taking it over the top of my house to look for wasp nests) I was able to maneuver it onto my front porch - maybe 7x7' - and land it successfully. I also flew it 200 or so yards out onto my property, got a good look at things from above.
More practice needed, but soon I'll be able to do what I want with aerial scouting of my land.
