Is the DJI Mini 2 a good drone to learn? What could happen if the DJI Mini 2 is my first drone?

  Is the DJI Mini 2 a good drone to learn? What could happen if the DJI Mini 2 is my first drone? Let's answer this questions and a little more.  I was surprised with the DJI Mini 2 because, in my first flight, as soon as the props start spinning, I heard the voice of a lady, telling me how to take off. It wasn't my wife, nor Alexa or Google; it was the DJI app. She was patient, charming, and calm… perfect combination, huh?

But you should be careful, and know that the wind at 3 feet, is not the same as 25 feet,  nor at 100 feet high. The higher you go, the stronger the winds.    Now, keep in mind, that even when this drone is a lot of fun, I recommend it for learning purposes, and to be the "stepping stone", until you learn enough to get a more expensive drone with more feat
