New DJI Drone for me - Now arrived

General Drone Discussion

To be honest I do actually read manuals, for everything I buy. And yes I mean everything.
But if it’s youtube you want? Start Here I doubt you’ll find much better than Ian’s videos

I would have in the past but with age and manuals writing getting smaller, I get abloody headache trying :nerd_face::disguised_face: commonsense or YouTube videos and if I definitely need the manual I will download so I can expand,

@Kirky @mynameisjoe @AverageImages Thanks for the tip guys, I like the manual to look things up and get generally acquainted with the things, after owning an HS everything is different. I have watched a lot of YT videos, some are very old and out of date and a lot are a contradictory in certain key areas for me as a newbie. … Rod

@Kirky @mynameisjoe @AverageImages The main problem I have/had was activating the Care Refresh package at the same time as activating the drone. I believe that because I bought the two products together it is automatically linked to my drone or account as I received no codes or anything from DJI to give me any clues of how to do it. Anyone know differently?
Thanks … Rod :thinking:

Reading the manual didn’t help then after all! :rofl: :rofl:

@D0c.Col Ha :grinning:, Hi Colin, it is a big manual and didn’t see that bit Duh! me :frowning_face:
I will get there in the end, quite a lot of pages to go yet, and the weather is too bad to fly so no rush.
Watching YT vids and the internet can be quite contradictory.

Thanks @Sparkyws I have that saved as well, I have created a folder and store all interesting vids and things in it. Some are a bit beyond me but will be useful in the future. I was lucky with the photo / Video side of things as I spent 30 years working in photography. Rod
