[QUOTE="RockyNH_RIP, post: 529708, member: 10784"] I spent the first couple days after getting the unit learning all I could about it, the controller and the DJI Pilot App. The actual directions were limited so I spend some time online with videos including the instructional ones from DJI (which I did find very useful). I charged everything up and also updated the firmware. I practiced the controls and App functions in the dining room with the Phantom on the table WithOut Props. As I found I did not understand something, I went back to the videos. The next day, I did an IMU Calibration (all the sensors) and also took it outside to calibrate the compass. I also played with turning on the video and snapping still photographs. It was now time to test it out... My first flight would only be a few minutes down at the schoolyard, operating in Beginner Mode which puts very strict limits on my flight. My goal was to get it in the air, increase and reduce altitude, fly forward - back and left - right. Also wanted to rotate the craft as it hovered. Winds were gusting to 18 mph but she did well... My Very Simple Video: [MEDIA=youtube]YlmpqCV451c[/MEDIA] Nothing fantastic but all part of the learning process...... Pleased so Far! :) Pat in GA [/QUOTE]
