First attempt at flying the drone.  Also my first attempt at posting a video, technology and I usually don't get along, so hopefully it works.  I need to figure out how to get the video to post instead of just the link.

Another try. Thanks for the tutorial.

Good and clear. What drone did you get?

[Mogleybear]

Thanks, I got the DJI Mini 3 pro.  Still have a lot to learn though.

That's a great drone. You are going to have some fun with it and get some great footage. Mine's just the old Mavic mini.

I'm hoping so.  You do well with yours.  I'm also hoping it will encourage me to get out more.

Thanks. It will. My problem is I don't get enough practice. When I can, I cheat a little by using a waypoint mission over areas and just let the programing run it's course. That last one of mine at the overlook was one. The whole thing was fifteen minutes long so I use just clips of it. It's hard to let them go out of sight and so far you can't hear them..especially over a canyon..with birds swarming all around it. "Be brave..go high..go far" that's what I keep telling myself...lol

That's a hard thing to do, I lost sight of it a time or two in the tree line and that was enough to make me nervous.  So did flying it over the water.  I'll take your advice and follow that motto.

I guess you have to trust the monitor and what its telling you. And we can always hit the RTH button in a panic ..lol. For me if I loose it it's only a few hundred...but for you it's closer to a grand+. That would hurt.

It definitely would not be good.  The bigger problem would be explaining it to the wife.
