I got the Hyperlapse badge, and indeed The Farmer Giles Badge for this one https://player.vimeo.com/video/753361767?app_id=122963 A little over 20 seconds of playtime, a full battery on the mini2. Cant remember how many photos were stitched together but took me hours of frustration in DaVinci to make it work!!!

I think this was the universally accepted video to watch at the time when I first got mine, might be worth sticking it in the sticky. Or perhaps one of the GADC Youtubers fancies putting one together for the GADC Youtube Channel? [Use These 15 Drone Training Exercises to Learn How to Fly a Drone - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixYnzcZZu9g) Another section could be pre-flight checklist before you fly, props look good, keep drone hovering for 15 seconds and ensure itโ€™s stable before launching it off etc, I think there was an app someone recommended that had a checklist, could just half inch that list and customise. ---
