Hi, I also new on here but got my drone back in June. First few flights can be a bit nervy, but just build up the hours taking it simple at first. Go find a massive field somewhere and practice take offs, landings, send the drone off then using the return to home and general flying. After a few flights the nerves go and it’s plain sailing. Just always keep an eye on the battery and if in doubt point the gimbal down to get your bearings. I love flying my mini 2 even without taking photos sometimes. ---
