    Noob mistake resulting in crash

During take off I even had to maneuver around the overhead branch which was about 40' high (should've been my first clue). After a short flight I hit RTH, while it was descending I realized what was about to...

    First Flights Ever- initial impression is definitely positive

    First Flight ever with a drone, didn't even know how to use activetrack or anything?‍♂️. Second video was a few days later. I feel like it can't be that bad of a drone if its this easy to use and its only $800. The shots you can get can be helicopter status and when you average out the number of...
