Allow Myself to Introduce... Myself

[vripley]

Hi there. I live in Brunswick, MD and have a DJI P4P+. I'm new to nice drones, but have flown cheap semi-automated ones for a while. I am really looking forward to broadening my photography skills (I do DSLR and GoPro work) and expanding my work to include flying shots.

Hello,

I just purchased a new phantom 4 pro and all the goodies, new laptop with 4K to be able to edit and watch the videos. But I am terrified to fly the drone. I have been just getting it bearly off the ground and so scared of crashing that I am almost paralyzed and can't fly... My question is if I crash the drone is there some where I can send or take the drone to have it fixed? Or is it very pretty durable that I am over reacting

Life's too short to panic about crashing a drone. Keep it in beginner mode for a few hours, and get used to the controls. Dang thing pretty much flies itself in beginner mode. Take some deep breaths, calm your inner spirit, and take off!

I just passed the FAA Part 107 Certification Exam. And, I registered my P4P+ with the FAA as a business drone. With my drone, Canon DSLR, and GoPro, I'm ready to begin doing commercial photography!

I figured out how to properly process 4K video... This is a few shots of the sunrise utilizing my P4P+ and Adobe Premiere:

My latest 4K video is a flight over the Potomac River with a revealing riser to view Brunswick from the river's edge. It was a little spooky, because the gusts were 25+ and a drop in the Potomac would not end well...

Hello Everyone,

Just want to give you a quick update! I am flying every day I take my drone out and fly it around my neighborhood. I have only gone up to about 25 meters. But the winds have not been the greatest since I bought the drone. I get a little scared when a gust comes up and I usually will bring it down to where the my house will block the winds. But I have been able to fly it all the way down the street and back and aquatinted myself more with the controller and the app on the Ipad. So I have figured out when I'm not sure which direction I am going down the street look at my red arrow and see what direction it is pointing. I have also used the tracking fly and very excited to use the tapfly as I think this will be the one that I use taking pictures of my properties for rent. I wanted to thank everyone here for you words of encouragement. I still get a pit in my stomach when I feel I am not in control but they are getting fewer and fewer. I hope to have he confidence you all have soon.
