New Mavic Air owner - central Pennsylvania

[JoeBWan]

Good morning, all!

I recently purchased the Mavic Air Fly More package as my introduction to the drone world (unless you count the Syma X5C my daughter bought me for Christmas a couple of years ago).

I love this thing! But, of course, I also have questions that I'll post in the correct places.

About me - I'm an outdoorsy trail runner, cyclist, and motorcycle owner (dual sport and street) in the foothills of central PA. I own an audio visual supply company and have poked around with the idea of starting a drone website selling a complete line of drones and accessories, but I'm putting that idea on hold for a while because 1) my plate is full right now and 2) I don't want to start selling something I can't talk VERY intelligently about and there's definitely a lot to learn.

So, my primary interest right now is hobby flying, picture and video capture, and editing. I really just want to have fun collecting footage I can use to relive memories. And, just learning the ins and outs of drone piloting without breaking anything.

This seems like a great place to start! I look forward to "meeting" you all.

Welcome! I’m also new this week with the same package and interests; drone-wise that is. I prefer not getting all sweaty if i can avoid it.

Seems to be a very helpful site. Looking forward to newbie experiences.

Here’s a pointer. Don’t fly on a low battery (controller warns low battery) on your deck when the daylight is low enough to disable obstacle avoidance. It could put you in a situation where it informs you it’s returning to home in 10 seconds, and tries to land on the railing, missing the launch pad. Interesting fact that it will still try to avoid you if try to reach for it from underneath. Those blades are sharp!
