Hello! I am a drone virgin awaiting the arrival of my DJI Phantom 4 Pro. I am looking forward to flying and capturing landscapes that I cannot with my handheld camera. Have a great day.

Welcome. I love landscape photography. Just a little elevation make a big difference on a old structure or any scene.

Please start slow. Read, read and all you can. The good, bad and ugly. The mistakes you make can be costly. There are little things we miss, such as don’t take off from metal objects. Metal in the ground or rebar in the concrete. It’s fatal. Let it hover for a while to make sure everything is ok. So much more. Happy flying.

Welcome and enjoy...Rootman is spot on with his advice, I will just add learn the No Fly Zones for your area...you may have more fun if you can concentrate on flying and not looking out for police.

Thank you! Great advice. I did purchase a landing pad and have downloaded a couple of apps (B4ufly & DJI Go). I read through a forum regarding where to and not to fly. Have a lot to learn. Will post some photos when I can get flying.

Atti mode doesn't stop fast like gps mode. That's why i say take it slow. Just little things can cost you. Take your hand off the stick in GPS and it stops now. In atti it will fly right passed you.

Thank you. Spent a couple of days reading and watching videos on your site. Very very helpful. I was hesitant to take it to my backyard to try it out, but I had fun with it.
