So I bought a Mavic Pro.. Long Beach, CA

[Ro-Dee]

I not an extreme drone enthusiast but I've been interested in that general realm of RC helcopters, drone, and FPV Racing drones for a while now.I'm new to flying higher end drones but I do have some experience with drones flying the Parrot 2.0, the cheerson CX-10, and the fpv blade inductrix (not the advanced flying mode with no auto leveling).I Was debating between the Autel robotic drone and this one because both are expensive to break and one has good customer service guess which one.(Autel). But anyways I "wanted" the mavic pro. I'll be around the forums often asking questions as I still don't know all the features and functions of this drone yet. And I still need to register this drone to the FAA. Hope I meet new people and looking forward to flying this outside legally of course..

I believe you so not need to register with faa anymore. Unless you are making money.

Welcome to Mavic Pilots!

I'll be around the forums often asking questions as I still don't know all the features and functions of this drone yet.

Here are some items you might find useful:

• Mavic Manual & Release Notes (the manual does not come in the box)
• Firmware Update Instructions
• Tips for Avoiding Common Pilot Mistakes
• Tips for Avoiding a Crash
• Worldwide Drone Regulations
• MavicHelp.com (lots of Mavic tips & accessories)

I still need to register this drone to the FAA

Hobbyists no longer need to register with the FAA (see more details here). All of the rules you must follow can be found on the FAA's website here.

Welcome to the community. I am in SoCal too and fly airplanes in this airspace, as well as the occasional Mavic flight. Be aware most of this area is controlled airspace, quite a bit of Class B & C. Fly safe and as you said, fly legally. It may benefit you to pick up a current FAA Los Angeles sectional chart.
