Hi There
Back in 2013 I got my first Phantom 1, I've been modifying it up to the impossible, crashed it and rebuilt it few times, lost a couples of go pros in the process, and then decided to build my own bird.
I built a massive octocopter able to lift cameras like a red scarlet for good 15 minutes using a pixhawk 4 as a flight controller. Never looked back since.
I put under my belt few hundreds of hours flight till last week when the production vehicle carrying my drone had a terrible accident on the highway resulting in a cracked frame and few electronics broken.
Having few jobs on the line and fascinated by that Hasselblad logo that reminded me of when I was young, I decided that while rebuilding the Big Bird I should give it a try with the Mavic Pro 2 which should get in my mail box early next week.
I confess I am scared that what I've been learning in the past 4 years won't be really helpful with such a small light device and so many automatic features.
I am reading as much as possible about all the different aspects and I'd like to kindly ask anyone who is willing to share once again their favourite links and resources to learn the ins and outs in particular of
GO 4
hasselblad camera and filming modes

Looking forward to a new maiden flight!
Sorry for the long one!
