so i had literally nothing going on after work yesterday and just grabbed the mavic and drove to this empty parking lot near the old mill and just... flew around for like 45 minutes. no shot planned, no mission, just vibing. watched the battery drain and didnt even care. forgot how good that feels tbh. been so focused on trying to get usable footage for stuff that i forgot flying can just be fun

anyone else do this or am i just weird lol

dude yes, this is basically half my flights honestly. i call it maintenance flying, like keeping the skills sharp but really im just goofing off. my wife thinks im always out filming something important and i just let her believe that

i did this last weekend actually. went out with my mini 3 and just hovered over a field for a while watching a tractor do its thing. no idea why but it was really satisfying. sometimes you dont need a reason
