Like anything, you will get better with practice. It is good to be a bit scared as this keeps you on point. Big Field Is A MUST! Get off of Beginner mode and start playing at a good altitude. 100-150 ft is a great place to practice. The more stick time you work the better the muscle memory...

Hey Johnny, give a call if you want to go fly later...great day and George Bush Park is a great wide open space. Do you use any goggles to fly your drone or a phone / tablet? What are you flying? [email protected]

My last two edits without involving trees or crashes:

I'm using CyberLink PowerDirector v15....I believe they are now at version 16. The software can make a crappy flight with off lighting and color look like you actually know what you are doing!

Just_Nick and DWilliams35, how are you using your drones? Fun / Work / mix? Where do you fly?

Hey Ehmay, thanks for the kind words. The flying was all me and not sped up via software. I have used the software speed changes for dramatic results in other videos. Where do you live now? Katy has changed a lot!

Here is how I’m using my p4 in Real Estate

This link: https://youtu.be/_Zrlt11Ma00 is of a home that does NOT have a lot of 'Pop' or sex appeal for the neighborhood, which is why you get too many views of the pool area. https://youtu.be/EK2Ozr4zMDI This is me playing with the Time Editing function.....I'm learning what to do / not to do...

As both a Realtor and a drone pilot, I think the answer is as simple as this, “Ask the agent what they want or what their clients want” Many MLS Boards allow for linking to YouTube so lengthy videos can be shown. You can also amortize much of the flying expenses by capturing non-household video...

I’m an agent and I shoot/ edit my own listings. Since Buyers want to see more than just the home, I incorporate a series of shots that can be edited to the final movie, I.e. neighborhood highlights, pools, trails, play areas, community centers, then, the elem/ jr high/ HS, then some details on...

I’m in Cinco Ranch and fly a P4. Been doing this for about a year and love it. Always up for learning more

My brother is a pilot for American who lives in GBC. He flies drones

Very cool offer, but I would gladly pay for your time/material! I might come back to you if I can’t source the covers on the landing gear

Agree with your comment Just_Nick....spot on! Honestly, it torqued me off when they wouldn't even tell me the names of the parts and just wanted the repair dollars. Go to Amazon and you will find a ton of stuff for all repairs and add-ons. I'm never going to DJI for gear or service.

One final gripe about DJI Support.....When I sent the pictures of THEIR product, and asked, "What are these parts called"....I was told, they do not have a name yet and to simply ship the product in for repair. When I told them, I don't want to REPAIR, I just want to purchase REPLACEMENT parts...
