This is my first post. I received a P2V+ from my wife for my 70th birthday last week. My only quad experience has been indoors with a micro-quad (the cheerson) and it is pretty fun. Anyway I have spent the week reading manuals, watching videos, testing systems, upgrading firmware and calibrating. I am now ready but nervous to launch and have a few perhaps silly questions.
-- There is a grass field near my house with an asphalt area adjacent. I was going to launch from the asphalt, but considering the possible hard landing... I was thinking about launching off a padded mat. Is this a good or a bad idea?
-- One video advises removing the camera before first flight. Is this really necessary?
-- I bought a neck lanyard (the DJI one) and the RC came off the clip. Any suggestions for a more secure brand?
-- I was planning to buy a back-pack case. Is there one particular brand that works best ... there are too many choices. I will be installing the Bezem prop-guards.
Any other advice?

Thanks so much.
