Welcome to Phantom Pilots!

I just got the P3P in addition to the P4. They're extremely easy and good pics. READ the manual and posts on here before taking off. Remember to calibrate the bird.

Very easy.

Few practice runs in a field than you will be confident to fly.

I flew my p3p yesterday after watching videos and reading everything I can find. I love it! I shot video and took lots of pictures. I still get nervous flying as I don't want to crash. I am a bit intimidated with the technology capabilities. I do have a lot of open fields to fly and practice. I am trying to figure out the return home so it is high enough to land without hitting my house or trees. Any video instructions you recommend?

You can set the RTH altitude mid-flight if you're not sure how high it should be before taking off. After taking off, ascend near the home point until your Phantom is above all obstacles in the area, note the current altitude in DJI GO, add 50 feet to that (for a buffer since the altitude is not 100% accurate), and set the RTH altitude to that value.
