I think IrishSights is correct. You have a fear of crashing, which results in fear of expensive damage. That's not a criticism of you because I am exactly the same and, therefore, I understand exactly how you feel.
You just need to get out into open space,
go through a flight check every time before you fly, and practice, practice, practice. Print out a flight checklist! - regular pilots with thousands of hours experience do this every time before take-off. Why? Because if you don't, there's always a risk you'll forget something, and that's when it will all go FUBAR. Best case scenario is you'll have forgotten to put the SD card in; worst case scenario is you'll forget to acquire sufficient satellites, or not get a Home-Lock or fail to notice that the compass need calibrating.
Don't fly too high and too far; as far as I am concerned, for filming and photography purposes, there is little point in flying above 100 metres altitude and beyond 250 metres distance. If you need to go further than that then bring it back down, move to a new spot and fly again.
If you didn't buy the P2V+ for filming and photography and just want a r/c quadcopter then, yes OK, sell it and buy something smaller and less expensive. But if you want to capture images and video, there's little point changing it now. I have a P2 with the H3-3D gimbal and I would guess that that is just as 'fragile' as the gimbal on the P2V+
I always now catch mine by hand (i.e. bring it down slowly to just above shoulder height and hover, walk towards it, reach up and grab a leg and immediately bring the left stick straight down and the rotors will stop. Nerve-wracking at first (makes you screw up your face! :lol: ), but it works every time. IF you're landing on a flat surface, bring it down really slowly and again stop the rotors with a straight down pull and hold on the left stick (do NOT stop the motors in the same way that you started them otherwise it's almost certain to flip over whilst the rotors are still turning).
Stay in GPS mode until you get some experience and don't try anything fancy.
Lastly, if something does go wrong,
don't panic!. I've been there, done that and both times it just made things worse and ended in a crash (with no damage fortunately). Just take your hands off the controller and let the machine hover whilst you get your head back together.
I'm still very nervous each time I fly, but each time gets better. I still won't fly near lots of trees; I need much more practice to overcome this barrier but I will do it, because the experience and the results are magical. It's opening up a whole new world to me and I'm determined that my fear of losing all that valuable kit isn't going to stop me.
EDIT
I just saw the above post about using a simulator and I second that recommendation. I have the Heli-X and find it useful to practice on rainy days.
Oh, and you might like to look at the end of my post here
