Newbie Mavic Pro pilot

Hi, I'm Dave from Ballston Lake, NY. I just purchased my first drone. Already trashed a set of blades trying a precision night landing on an orange launchpad. Tried to manually land while right over orange H. It veered a little to the right and sheared the tips off my rear right propeller.

Welcome to the forum from the deserts of Arizona! Enjoy.

Here’s a link to the complete (60-70 page) DJI manual for your new drone. Recommended reading and reference. Covers both the MP and the MPP.

Hi welcome to the forum.
What did you hit when trying to land on a pad ?

Just grass

Unlucky then - trample the grass round the pad next time

Welcome!
If your pad came with clunky plastic stakes like mine did, take them out of your kit and put em in with your camping gear. I almost broke a prop on one landing the first time.

Welcome from a first time drone (M2P) owner. I've been amazed how much there is to learn. The various forums and members have a wealth of information to share.

Welcome to the Forum from the Sunshine (and Hurricane) State of Florida! I have I white plastic picnic table in my backyard with a large red "X" in the center that I use as a launch pad.
