Another new pilot from Colorado

[ColoradoDB]

Another new pilot from Colorado and the proud owner of a Mavic 2 Pro checking in. My wife and I are fortunate to live on 42 acres of Colorado forest between Peyton and Elbert Colorado, so there is lots of room to fly, albeit more challenging given the forestation.

This is my first drone and it took maybe 60 seconds into my first flight before I was *hooked*!!! I was looking for a new and interactive hobby and I've found it. My wife and I are avid outdoor recreationists and it's going to be a lot of fun making video memories with the aerial camera.

I'm very glad I bought the prop guards due to all of the trees on our land. The obstacle avoidance system is good but it clearly cannot detect everything, hence during my first Close Encounter of the Conifer Kind a few pine needles got a haircut, but that's it; the prop guards did their job.

Happy New Year and Happy Flying to all.

Dan

Welcome to the forums - a lot of good info here. So, take a look around and hope you enjoy some of the fine photography and information posted by the members.

Also, if you haven't done so yet, consider getting the AirMap and KittyHawk apps. I also suggest this Visualize it: See FAA UAS Data on a Map

Here are some things to help you get started with your Mavic 2 Pro:

• The current Mavic 2 Pro manual can be downloaded here (it doesn't come in the box). Other important documents can be found on the Mavic 2 downloads page.
  
  
• Check out this getting started guide for some tips not found in the Mavic 2 Pro manual.
  
  
• This video covers all the basics of the Mavic 2.
  
  
• Your drone batteries will last longer if you use and maintain them like this.
  
  
• Practice flying outdoors in a wide open location that's free of all obstacles. Don't attempt to fly inside your house or in other confined locations.
  
  
• The drone records flight data each time you fly. You can decrypt and view those flight logs with these tools.
  
  
• Check out MavicHelp.com for commonly used accessories you might need.
