Maiden flight today of the Mavica. Still have a lot to learn. Video was recorded sideways but at least
I didn't crash it. First time flying anything. It was a good time.

How do I see out the camera using my phone? It was so bright out, I couldn't tell it was recording the video sideways?
 
Hi Frank, the light source is one reason I ordered DJI goggles because of bright sun light. Some pilots use a hood from Hoodman or some other source. You and I are just about the same age and for us older pilots we need all the help we can get with our eyes! If I am correct you don't even have to use the phone with the goggles because photo's and video's can be done with through the goggles or the RC.

Hi Frank, this is weird. Should you have added the sr with Frank? We are soon going to get a mandatory firmware update from DJI and we all (pilots) will have to register again with the new firmware. The new update should come out within days if not sooner.
 
As you should of seen on the picture previously attached, I tried logging in with both username & email. I tried again this morning and I logged right in.
 
I just noticed that all 4 of the propellers are scratched up, even though I had a no crash first flight? It did land in tall grass where the blades were hitting the top of the grass, is this what caused these scratches? Everything I've read says I need to replace the propellers, is that correct?
