New Pilot from Austin, TX

[SMTXOM]

I'm fairly new to drones. Purchased my first small $20 drone on Amazon this year. Upgraded to a <$100 larger drone with camera not too long after but both drones didn't feel refined. The controls and quality left me unsatisfied. I purchased my Mavic Pro yesterday and it should arrive Monday Aug 7th. I'm excited and can't wait to get to fly it. Unfortunately I'll be going on a trip for work on the 9th to the Philippines and don't feel comfortable taking it with me due to theft etc so for those two weeks I'll be dreaming about flying it

Welcome to Mavic Pilots!

You'll be impressed when you receive your Mavic. DJI makes great drones.

I'll be splitting my time between Manila and Zamboanga. I've heard horror stories from others who have made the same trip who lost expensive electronics at the airports. I don't want to lose my brand new $1K drone. Believe me I wish I could
