I got a Mavic Mini for xmas, so had a play with it last Sunday when the sun was out.

Just learning to fly it, and also edit video. Made a short 2 minute clip of my flight.



The aerial view makes the 720S look very alien smile

Thanks all, glad you enjoyed the video & pics.

720S is stunning, but pics don't really do them justice.

However, seeing it from above was interesting as it's not a perspective we normally see. And as hucumber said, it really demonstrates the incredible aero of the car.

Kyodo, why what happened? (Mine is a Mini, which does not require registration.)

Nothing happened, I'm a careful owner! The mini must be DJI's answer then, keeping under 250g smile
Yes, it's the only reason the Mini was designed at 249g. The Japanese version of the drone is 199g (smaller battery), to meet their lower restrictions.

I just wish they make a Mini Pro (at a higher price), where they unlock the camera features that are deliberately nerfed.

Khanda with the Khalsa orange, nicely done smile
It was certainly a pro when I was choosing colour, and went with this orange instead of my second choice of red smile

I do apologise sincerely and profusely. I let down McLarens everywhere with that pitiful effort frown

I was trying to go for a record 4 bays, but the McLaren is just not long enough. frown

I need to get my hands on a Speedtail...maybe go for a world record 5 bays smile

Looks Memphis to me. Lovely smile

But McLaren paints change dramatically in different light and especially in direct sun (as seen in my video).

Agree about car satnavs. The McLaren one is better than average though, but all car systems are inferior to Waze.
