Thanks for the quick reply. Interesting web site you have there… Any case, I'll dump it all on you as you may be new to droning and even if you are not, it's still good advice…

Now, for some Good Old Fashion Advice…

Do not let the excitement of the moment get the best of you. When you are going out to fly, do it slowly and deliberately. Get used to a set procedure and even practice it.

There are so many things I could write but these are the highlights that I feel need mentioning.

Plug in your phone/tablet into your controller; turn on the Controller and DJI Fly App (if it does not start on its own…). On the Drone, open the front legs, then open the back legs, then remove the Gimbal Cover.

The Gimbal is the most delicate item on the Drone and banging or bumping can damage it. I also fastened a short "Remove Before Flight" ribbon to the cover so it's more noticeable and I do not forget to remove it…

Turn on the drone and watch it come to "life." Watching the Gimbal go through its self-check is almost like watching a kitten or puppy opening its eyes for the first time…

Place the drone down (preferably on a Landing Pad) while it finishes its self-test (collecting satellites, etc…).

Check your battery status (Phone, Drone, and Controller), check the Signal Strength, by now the Controller should have reported it updated the Home Point.

Lift off, 4-5 feet (1-1/2 meters) or so, hover a bit, check the controls (move the drone a bit forward, back, left, right, yaw left and right). By now, your Controller will probably report again, Home point Updated.

If you go out in a rush and race thru your start up and take off before the drone has finished it prep, it may update its Home Point over that pond or that old tree you are flying over and in your excitement, you'll fly the drone long past it Low Battery point and when it engages Return to Home and lands in the pond or in a tree; it will be all on you…

Now go have fun, learn to fly the drone by sight before you try to fly it out a distance depending on the video feed, FPV.

I would also advise you to use YouTube and watch a lot of the Videos on flying and setting up the Drone. When it is too dark, too cold, or too wet, you can "fly it vicariously" through YouTube. Also watch some of the Blooper Drone Videos and learn how not to fly your "New Baby."

Below is the link to all of the downloads offered by DJI for the Mini 3 Pro, including the User Manual.

After you read the Manual, read it again, you will be surprised what you missed the first time and you will be better prepared for that first "scary moment…"

Thank you.
I received the drone on Sat a week ago, up till then, for 2 months I had been reading and watching everything I could, all the videos, I even read the manual twice, screen shot what I needed and wanted.

I've heard so many rumors which is why I was so scared the first time.

I don't think I'll fly it more than 30 meter high or too far from me, any time soon, I want to see it every second of the flight.

Again, thank you very much for taking the time to let me know all of this.
It's well appreciated.

Do not be afraid to fly your drone, take it out, some place where you will not bump into buildings, fences, trees, walls, etc…

I've attached a link to a video that shows basic flight maneuvers every beginner should know. Practice these maneuvers, just do not go out and see how far or how high you can fly your drone.

Learn to fly it by sight, not by looking through the video. Learn to fly it when it is flying away from you and learn to fly it when it is flying towards you (it's backwards then…) and if I did not say Practice enough, I'll say it again, Practice, it is the only way to develop "Muscle Memory" where you stick inputs will become second nature and you will be less likely to accidently fly into an object verses flying away from an object.

Now Go have Fun!
