I took my Phantom 3 a little east of Tucson after work today, to a parking area adjacent to Davidson Canyon/Cienega Creek and the Arizona National Scenic Trail. I kept it fairly close, getting a feel for how it handled the gusty breeze (pretty darned well, actually), and flew again in the Beginner mode. I took about 11 minutes of video (which needs editing), and a few photos, including three of the drone itself using my P&S camera.

Nice pics. You must be having fun? Haha

It had only just begun... Enjoy the dtone!!

The first stuff is, the start, just like an addictian

Keep going. Looking forward to watch your video. :-)

Fly safe, calibrate compass, don't ever panic. Fly above those trees and have a great time. Get the wife ready if you have one to know you will buy another one.

You only need to calibrate thr compass once, if it's done properly.
No need to redo it at every flight. ;-)

Ahh, Tucson. I will be flying my down in the Green Valley area later this winter.  Im really looking forward to that.
Congrats on the first couple of flights.  Take it east at first.  There are old pilots, and bold pilots, but no old, bold pilots.

Have fun and more flights to go....

I had my 1st flight today and really had fun.
