Hi and Welcome! DJI definitely takes it to the next level.

You might consider changing your username. You won't be a Noob forever and your name will not command the proper level of respect I am sure you will be due.

That’s true lol. Can you change user name easily?

Mossiback · Apr 9, 2018

I don't think you can change your username here (someone please correct me if I am wrong). You can just create a completely new one. I believe your current one will be automatically deleted after a certain amount of inactivity.

Hmmm.... eliminate Airhead from that list also.....

One of these mods should be able to change it for you.

Thanks! Think I’ll keep it as is for now

By the next week or so, I'm at least expecting you to change your name to "MavicSemiNoob79"

FedEx’s system goofed. It automatically said I’d get it today because of historical data but it’s not coming until tomorrow. Another day of waiting

Yea! Let the fun begin!

So tonight you can charge up the batteries, register with DJI, and install updates. Then you can connect everything and insure that the app works with your device. Resist the temptation to fly indoors or in the dark (sensors won't work in poor light). Then take the time to read the manual. Make sure you understand how RTH works so you can set it properly before you fly. If all looks good you will be ready to actually fly tomorrow after work.

That’s the plan! Going to charge , update, and read once I’m back from my daughters tball practice! So excite. I’m almost 39 years old and feel like a kid at Christmas

MavicNoob79 · Apr 12, 2018

Wow.....just wow. Had my first flight. This thing is awesome! My 7 year old daughter was amazed it could follow her around.

It’s so responsive! And nimble. I’m in love hahaha

Oh I’ve been very cautious. I was so nervous at first. Took little baby steps and never went higher than 50 feet not further than maybe 100 feet

Hello everyone. My name is Blair. Single 39 year old father of one almost soon to be 7 year old daughter!
Just ordered the Mavic Air. I recently bought a Syma x5uw for me and her to play with and was ultimately very disappointed. So I started looking for a real drone.
After many hours of looking one brand kept coming up, dji. So after a week of watching videos and reading articles I finally made the decision to order a black onyx Mavic Air fly more combo. Can’t wait!

You’ll love it, it’s amazing and if you guys are looking for more range or battery life from it, we are a forum that is very open to modding which is quite fun.
