Use your compass on the go 4 app- It's your best friend when drone disappears from your vision- I fly in the Mohave a lot and when I look up in bright sun I lose sight of the drone a lot- Compass is my keyIve been out flying for about 10 hrs, I’m really nervous about how to fly when I get high enough not to see the front snd my stick maneuvering .

Hello.As I undestand it, FAA rules prohibit flying above 400 feet altitude and prescribe line of sight. (Yes I know the altitude limits can be defeated) As far as distance, my recommendation is to add aftermarket strobes. I use the Firehouse dual LED on one drone and the Firehouse ARC II on the other. I can see my drone about 2-3 miles ou in the daytime with the latter as long as I am not flying toward the sun. I also use an Alienware signal booster to keep a strong signal... in the AZ deserts it works easily 5-6 miles out in any direction.
Welcome from Chicago. Being a newbe, when flying your Drone always face the direction your drone camera is facing. If flying left, turn your body to the left. Until you feel confident enough that you know the controls well, and avoid a crash. Also, check out Mavic Help and Mavic tips. Those two areas will help you quite a bit in answering futue questions you may have. Blue skies and safe flying to you.Ive been out flying for about 10 hrs, I’m really nervous about how to fly when I get high enough not to see the front snd my stick maneuvering .

My old eyes aren't as reliable as they used to be. I can relate to your questions. I put a yellow skin on my MP. That really helped me see where it is better, but not enough IMO. So I purchased 2 Firehouse ARC II white lights and 2 Firehouse ARC II red lights along with brackets to secure them to the front and rear legs of the drone. It made a huge difference in my ability to track my drone. As someone said above, flying into the sun will always be a problem so I try to locate myself so I'm not doing so as much as possible. It also makes for better video/photos.Ive been out flying for about 10 hrs, I’m really nervous about how to fly when I get high enough not to see the front snd my stick maneuvering .

Here’s the links:
Signal booster.
There are others but this one has range and cosmetics I like and is wick detach for transport/storage ALIENTECH PRO 2.4G or 5.8G Antenna Signal Booster
Her’s the nav lights I use. This is the only one with written FAA approval. There are many others. These come with adhesive to attach, which I don’t use (see below)
drone strobe lights
These are the holders I use for the strobes. They simply snap on and off the rotor arms. Less chance of losing the lights in a crash.
