If you are new then do more day time flight before try at night flight.

It's ok to fly at night, just check out regulations for your area, you may be expected to keep VLOS, but it's not to difficult spotting the led lights, also remember to have your RTH set to a good height to clear any obstacles. Good luck

There are many YouTube videos on night flights with this model aircraft. I suggest you have a look at those. If you do decide to do a night flight, you should do it in an unpopulated area, wide open filed with no RF or magnetic interference at all.

Read the manual from ship to stern and check out the DJI videos on getting started.

This is not a toy. It can injure someone  if not flown properly.

Take heed to the dangers of flying these jokers and make sure you are confident you've calibrated everything that needs calibrated.

If you know someone local who has flown or if there is a local group in your town, connect with them. Join up the crackbook forum to find out more data on these things.

Law say 30 min before sunrise and 30 min after sunset. Just like when hunting.

If you're flying a Phantom 4 pro it uses infra red avoidance sensors ideal for night flying, if it's a Phantom 4 advanced or a Phantom 4 the obstacle avoidance requires daylight to work properly. Hope this helps.

The P4P only has infra-red on the side sensors, and they are not enabled for normal flying anyway.
