so i had like two hours to kill yesterday afternoon and just grabbed the mini and went to this empty field near my house, no plan, no waypoints, no filming for a client, nothing. just flew around like an idiot for almost an hour watching the shadows on the grass and honestly it reminded me why i got into this in the first place. feels like lately everything is about optimizing shots or worrying about airspace or whatever and i forgot it can just be... fun. anyway idk just felt like sharing that. also saw a hawk try to investigate my drone which was terrifying for a second but it veered off

yeah man the hawk thing happens to me constantly out here, i think they see it as competition or something. and yeah totally get what your saying about just flying for fun, i do this thing sometimes where i just hover really high and watch the battery drain and think about nothing. its genuinely therapeutic lol

Honestly this is why I keep my old Phantom around even though everything about it is outdated. Thing is a tank and I don't care if it gets banged up so I can actually just mess around without stressing over it.
