The Mini 2 batteries are charging, I looked out the window and saw a nice sunset, so thought I’d take the M2P out to Moulden Hill at 5pm, for some Golden Hour speed tests :wink:

Mavic 2 Pro, 80.3 mph :sunglasses:

My house in the top right of the photo above. So after going to all these remote high hills in the country with the Mini 2, it looks as if it doesn’t really matter that much.

What the data doesn’t show (surprisingly) is that the camera was pointing down from about a minute into the flight. When I tried to use the rotating wheel on the top left of the controller (or the touch screen slider) it just randomly shook all over the place erratically! And my view down was near enough pitch black at 5.20pm. I flew the rest of the way using the map. Was late switching out of Atti mode and overshot the home point by about 400m :grimacing: … which made the end part of the flight a bit interesting, having to drop to about 30m altitude whilst flying over a forest, with a 22mph head wind - and no camera :confounded:

Still … it was fun, and a new Mavic 2 Pro speed record :grin::+1:

@stevesb - sorry mate :pensive: but you still have the M2Z record :wink:
