I received my Mavic Pro with 3 batteries today. I live in Brooklyn, NY, Zip code 11223

Looking for a professional or enthusiast who would like to come and fly it with me. I never flown a drone before. It would be nice if someone knowledgeable was there for my first flight.  

I was hoping that DJI would have video tutorials showing everything from start to finish. But there are only about 5 videos: How to calibrate, update firmware, link the remote, etc. The only useful video I found goes as far as testing the motors. I am planning to read the manual and take it slow. But if someone wants to come and and give me a head start, that would be great.

YouTube is your friend......there are hundreds of videos for your viewing pleasure...

Hi Alex

I certainly hope you can find someone close by to help you. Feel free to ask any questions you have on the forum for help.

Many Youtube videos that can fill in the gaps of knowledge too.  

I am in Oregon and help local guys as much as I can. It is nice to have someone to help you while learning!  

Best of luck finding another drone pilot in your area willing to help.
