Hello all. So this is my first "real" drone. I told my wife last year I wanted a drone and not to buy me one for Christmas as I'm very particular about my electronics. I knew I wanted the P4 and just needed the right opportunity. Well, last year, being the loving wife she is, she did find me a drone. No idea of the name or anything but as I tried to be appreciative, after the first flight, I knew it was going to be rough. I asked her where she bought it and it was Kroger. Ha, so, that drone flew right into the tree the first time(and survived!) and then she said, see, what if that was a more expensive one. I told her the one I'm looking at the should be easier to fly(it will be, right?). After 3 minutes of trying to learn the controls and make it hover above my head, the batteries died and she didn't understand why I was done so quick.
So, I have my P4 ordered and looking forward to it arriving this week. I may not get to fly it much right away because being in Ohio and winter, I saw the operating temp is 32 and above. My days are numbered for those types of temps but after a quick scan of the Phantom 4 forum, I didn't see any beginner tips. I want this to be a successful adventure so looking to you guys for advice. Any threads out there that give a good overview on how to fly these things?
Any help will be appreciated.
