Don't believe half the crap posted on this forum.

1. Read and understand the manual.
2. Never "Take Off" until you hear -
"Your Home Point Has Been Updated"
3. Check it on the Map - "DO IT"

Once you are up and flying practice ending any of the autonomous modes by switching to sport mode. This tip from this forum has saved me several times from a crash. It is the failsafe move for me when I feel the need to panic.

Footnote - love this forum but some of the posts can really scare newbies when it appears to me they are just sharing things "Not to do" 99.9% of the time

Make sure you press record

Yes! And don't forget to click the screen to auto-focus once you are at altitude, even if you have auto focus enabled. I have wasted many flights that came back blurred because I trusted the AFC to keep things sharp, and it did not.
