Live in Pineywoods of East Texas.


Just bought a DJI Phantom 4 today.

Just found out how to log in on DJ1 and turn the battery on.

Never done anything with a Drone.

So I am completely Green.
I might sound a little rough.
Its cause I'm a Old codger.

Using my Note 5 with it.
Got it in sideways. The connector in the bottom will not allow me to put it in upright.

Haven't learned how to get to the compass mode so I can calibrate it yet.

Got a lot to learn before I can take it out.

Thought I would stop in and say Howdy.

I need all the help I can get.

Thanks !

Welcome to Phantom Pilots!

Did you read through the Phantom manual yet? You can download it from the P4 downloads page.

I am watching Youtube videos trying to learn

Thanks.

I was hoping somebody might be close and they could give me some pointers on what to do.
If not I will have to lean how to do it that way.

Thanks !
I'm googling now to see how to make the camera move while its in flight.

There is lot I am ready to learn.
Gonna take it kinda slow.
I live around a Big Lake. And I don't want to get it over water yet.

Too bad they don't make these things float , Just in case.
Like something to keep it from sinking.

I have a acre or two and its next to the lake.
