Welcome fellow sandgroper, be sure to read the manual until your eyes bleed, stay in beginner mode and fly in a wide open area until you get the hang of it.
YouTube and this forum is your friend.

Welcome to the forum. Watch a lot of you tube clips & read the manual thoroughly & you will be ok mate. I have a P4 on the Gold Coast & love it.
I'm sorry to say, but give the Mrs and the kids a good long lasting look and a kiss goodbye... cos man they will never have you back again!
Droning is a drug (legal still thankfully) highly addictive to most - even after your first hit. You'll soon find your head in the clouds (literally & metaphorically) and the response / look anyone will get from you when talking face to face is you with a slightly tilted head and a far away glazed look in your eyes... cos that's exactly where you'll be ... off somewhere at altitude.
You'll start looking at the world from a different angle. You're wife and kids will start rolling their eyes at all the talk of drones, all the footage you've taken that you make them watch.
Like any other addictive drug... you'll pick up a nervous tic. upsetting your wife and kids by exclaiming "drone shot!" frequently when watching tellie whenever an ad or a show comes on that you now pick up has been filmed by a drone.
... and don't even mention the finger-twitches you'll start having when work or the weather prevents you from getting up 'n out there.
Man.. It's a hard drone-life.
... I'll save a seat for ya at the next DA Meeting (Drones Anonymous).
