Haha don't feel bad about your age and this is your first lol mine also at 65 . Makes me remember thous old fox's airplanes you had too hold the little yellow plastic controller with the 2 strings tied to it and then to the plain and have someone start the engine . Remember them well on cold cold days when the propeller would sometimes get you finger 🤣😃

Shetonya biggins You make an excellent point. I have flown my Mini only a hand full of times in the past few months. I must say that if you are the least bit interested in owning a first drone I highly recommend this model. Video is very very good and everything is easy to take with you. If you are creative and have some extra time it’s very possible to create some stunning video footage. For me all of that will be a learning curve in addition to being a good pilot and maneuvering the drone. It is a rewarding feeling to takeoff fly around and come back with some awesome video. Even though I don’t fly as often as I’d like to I think I made a good investment. Something really interesting to have at my disposal. I am in fact glad I purchased the Mimi

This is the second of your videos that I've watched, and both have been very helpful. I just bought the Mavic Mini used from a friend of mine, but first he let me play with it. Before I even walked out the house, I found your "beginners" video and watched that, and was able to launch and fly the drone without incident. Now that I've purchased the drone, I just watched this video, which is the perfect sequel to the "beginners" vid. Thanks for taking the time to make informative and enjoyable videos.

You should always use mode 2 for your transmitter. That way you learn how to use that mode which will train you to be able to use different transmitters that are mode 2 such as Rc planes or helicopters or different types of drones like race drones.

I've seen people trying the short press but all that does is cancel the RTH. So yes it mutes the beeping but it also cancels the RTH. Not speaking from experience but from what I've seen in other videos.

It's probably possible, but it's generally not a good idea, as that overheats the battery, which is not how you want to treat it. Haven't read instructions in full, but it's possible they tell you not to to avoid even an explosion risk.
