frist drone, I’ve done the compass calibration, I have GPS, I have camera, I downloaded the app,. I tried auto take off, manual take off, the RC has ready to take off. What am I doing wrong?

Are you in a NFZ zone?

Yes i am...

You need to perform a self unlock

It’s not working right now though.

That pretty well tells you what you want to know.  You're in a NO FLY Zone.

Hi sir, if you are in a No Fly Zone, you are not able to take off. Please kindly bring the drone away from the NFZ and try again, or if you need to fly in a NFZ, you need to apply for the unlock. More info about NFZ please visit: https://www.dji.com/flysafe?site=brandsite&from=footer

NFZ is alive and working well, you just need to change venue

Don't tell him that.  More fun to tell them to try reloading software and to try a hand toss launch.  Meaner, but more fun when dealing with people trying to fly in a NFZ and those same people leaving that little part out of the "Mavic failed" story.
