Hi all
Just got my first new mavic pro
Would be great for any advice about the unit and software use

Welcome!

Go through this valuable DJI documentation and start off in Beginner Mode, and mind those trees and power lines and angry birds and water (rivers, lakes, oceans):

BTW, there are also plenty of interesting and helpful video clips regarding the use of the Mavic on YouTube.

Thank You Marsan

Best advice I can give you is, always fly with the concius of what could happen if... use your brain and every flight will be fantastic and safe
;)

I'm fairly new to flying drones/Mavic Pro and have been reading loads of stuff and watching videos.

Only thing i have had a problem(s) with are:
My RC not connecting to the AC using 2 different Android phones Nexus 6 f/w 7.1.1 and Pixel XL f/w 8.0 both stock
Seems my wifes iPhone 6S+ f/w newest is the only phone that will.
That's about all i can offer help with. Just read and watch videos  

^^^ iphone seems to be about the best SP to use with the Mavic.

whenever i teaching someone to fly for first time the phrase i tell them is; "Slow and Low"  always want to start out slow and low learn how the aircraft operates  and its boundaries and blind spots. do that until you feel 100% comfortable with controls then enjoy to the fullest!

Best Advice I can give bro is YouTube.  Make sure you have insurance as well.  Its cool to fly in residential areas but thats where you will run into trouble if you are just starting out.  Find an open area and get your flight time in.  Cant stress the use of YouTube it came in and still does come in handy for me.  And  welcome to #dronelife

Welcome to the world of the new angle. For my advice, I hope you can read the user's manual before you actually fly it. And we also have many tutorials for you to learn, here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8-vxWY64sBNLusG0MvxD4Dm-tX4cnvzX.

Thank you Guys
Yes I have been watching a lot of youtube videos and yes I have been flying low and slow .
My first little crash so far has been went close to my kitchen window trying to take a picture of my wife and kids thru the window hit the wrong button drone went sideways hitting the other glass window .
No broken windows just the clear dome cover that protect the camera on the drone has a crack.
Had a bit of a laugh , wife and kids got scared .

Welcome bud all I would say is watch the videos dji put out
and start small the increase slowly keep away from people
water trees ect  the mavic is great to fly enjoy it

Hi All,

I also a newbie on drone, just get my Mavic Pro yesterday.
Some question here ...

1. Do I need to register my Mavic Pro to be travel around in other country like Japan, Thailand, Indonesia and etc? is there any issue on the air port custom?
2. Do I need to separate the battery from the drone before going to airplane?
3. Can I pilot Drone at night?
By the way I staying at Malaysia.

I endorse comments above. Never flown any RTC aircraft until I bought a Mavic Pro. I started by practicing simple manoeuvres and manual landing manually. Keep it simple as you gain confidence with controls. Get a good landing mat/target for Return To Home (RTH) to aim for. RTH is a wonderful safe guard for beginners.
Each country has own regs for flying drones. Google search country you intend to visit. When can I fly?  In Australia sunrise to sunset only.
Enjoy your machine and fly safe.,
Rob
