Practice-practice-practice.
I started 10 years ago with build your own, hardly able to hover, flybar helis. Needless to say I have crashed & rebuilt almost as many rc helicopters as there are parts on a Phantom, all well before DJI even existed(or GPS navigation equiped birds were conceived)as a company.
Personally I enjoyed the build & tinkering more then the flying at first. Back then the only option, other then Phoenix & Real Flight simulator programs that cost a couple hundred $$, was to crash-learn-rebuild aka trial & error. I have to say I'm very glad it began that way for me & only allows me to appreciate the technology we have now! There's a lot to be said for understanding the basics of in-flight orientation & nothing you can buy to replace EXPERIENCE.
That's not to say it's too late to learn or that you will not achieve the flight control you want to have over time. There's a reason the DJI Flight Simulator is 3 clicks away in their app. Fly, get comfortable & crash all you want for free but all the while your gaining flight time & some form of experience, with those same sticks in your hand too. Of course with less cost or risk but that's the point. The company could very easily charge hundreds of dollars for a flight simulator program & a few more for the accesorries to use them. Fortunately they don't & we are all working towards the same goals to be the safest best pilots we can.
Sorry for the winded rant but respect the technology & progress that's taken leeps & bounds & utilize it to gain the confidence that works for you.
End of the day, imo, built your confidence in the most efficient way possible for you to fly carefully & responsibly. Spend some time on the simulator or Maybe pic up a lower end drone/quad without all the "training wheels" & hit the open fieldsMJX x101-Symba, tarantula etc. Learn when you yaw 180* all orientations are reversed & bring it back to you safely. Forget about the 1 touch of a tablet screen to take off or land & learn what it takes to use your skills & knowledge in the hobby to get yourself out of trouble.
Probably not the quick fix of easy answer you were seeking but it takes time & practice to get to be good at maintaining full control of your drone, especially within line of sight which you should be doing if your still crashing. Don't be ashamed or too proud to keep your settings in beginner mode for a dozen batteries. Whatever it takes, you only have to compete with yourself, your pride & your patience not a single other person on any forum or YouTube video. So what's best for you & keep at it. Over time you will gain confidence & surprise yourself, most likely faster then you think. Take it slow & progress at your own pace. It's very easy to get caught up in this craze & want to skip steps but that will only take you backwards in your flight progress in the end.
Agsin, I remember going weeks with countless batteries just trying maintain a hover radius of 10ft or so. I was embarrassed every so often when a passer by stood over my shoulder So I wanted to show off a bit but stay the course & only do what feels right & safe to you. You'll have your time to shine, trust me. I still remember the flight I spend the entire 6min battery on my Align 550e inverted(That's, upside down, loops, tick-tocks & trimming the grass with my blades. I was so proud but it literally took YEARS! It's not the same in technology with these phantoms but I feel you should respect the process & disapline just like attempting to hover a 450 class flybar heli without losing my orientation or slamming i to the ground &/or closest object.
Practice & take the time to build your experience & confidence, the rest will fall into place.
Happy flying, best of luck.
