DJI MAVIC MINI Hi I was flying my drone in Shaw in Oldham yesterday (26/10/22) at about 12:50pm when the wind took it and it just shot off. I was unable to use the return to home feature as it wouldn’t let me every time I tried, the drone kept going further away and eventually the telemetry said i…

I am afraid I am unable to leave the house until tomorrow but you are really very welcome to borrow the mini today or if you have had no luck perhaps I can help you over the weekend

@chadman if your free tomorow I would love it if you could give me a hand for an hour in the morning? Sorry I havnt replied been out filming all day today on a project.
