I created a pretty safe trip around a local park, where I had a good chance of maintaining VLOS...I also had created a bit more complicated one, but the wind was starting to kick up and I didn't want to take a chance, so I called it a day after this

It is fun and it results in a much better quality video...still stuff to learn...I programmed it to take a picture at one of the way points, but it looks like it stopped recording video when it took the picture...I modified the flight to eliminate take a picture, and redid the flight today but it did something strange that I can't figure out....seems like the drone sped up and the gimbal pointed up...I have to go through the settings to see if I changed something else without realizing it
 
Keep working with it. It gets easier. You get used to it, but there will be anomalies. Have you tried laying out a route from home yet? That is a challenge. Word to the wise - make sure you have turned on obstacle avoidance before you fly it.
 
OA was one of the reasons that I got the 4 the 2 was giving me heart palpitations ...I did do the routes at home ...once @JGA site pointed out the satellite map it made it easy for me to do it
