Check out my first flight! Just a quick (albeit boring) trip around my neighborhood.

Congratulations! Your first flight around all those Mavic Magnets (trees) and did not get bit. My suggestion for your next flight is to use one of those open fields close by your house. You will also eventually need to change your name. You won't be a Noob forever!

It may not be overly exciting to watch, but I know there was nothing boring about controlling the first flight!! Enjoy!!

Smooth panning takes a bit of practice and keep and eye on the exposure. I always have my finger on the exposure wheel often reducing the exposure. Practice makes perfect so keep it up.

Congrats on your successful maiden flight. Always a terrifying event.
You may want to avoid flying in neighborhoods because there can be some unpleasant reactions from some people when it comes to "drones".
Get out away from houses and practice to your heart's content and all will be good.

Congrats! Consider watching this video by Ed Ricker:
It shows you how to "calm down" the controls on your RC so the video isn't so "herky jerky".
