Well I did get my drone up and running but I'm sorry to report that I crashed it. I was trying out one of the "intelligent" flight modes and discovered too late that the term "intelligent" was a bit optimistic. I had set the drone to follow me as i walked along. It did not follow, instead it just sat there hovering until all of a sudden it took off on a tangent and flew directly into the tree line. I tried canceling the settings but the errant drone maneuver was too sudden and I was not able to avoid disaster. The drone itself is fine but the more fragile camera gimbal has got a problem. I have been avoiding tearing the thing apart to see if I can fix it because i have a poor memory and am a bit intimidated by the thought of trying to "fix" this thing. Not sure if I'll remember how to get it all back together once i have it tore down. There arte excellent videos online however walking one through teh whole process to I guess I need to just dive in when ever I can get the special tools required. I'm sure that DJI would say it was my fault since I did not operate the drone within the limitations of it's capability. So I would have to pay to have it professionally repaired but I can't really afford that especially after having bought the expensive drone. Sooooo no promises on when you the viewers will see drone footage in the videos but I will eventually get it back in the air. It was awesome to fly when it was working though. I was enjoying myself getting used to managing the flights and learning the drones capabilities.
