Hello from Montana!

Hi everyone,
I bought my first big boy drone during the b&h sale and am excited to use this platform to learn from your broad base of knowledge. I have already purchased a gimbal off the classifieds here and have a camera on the way. I look forward to learning insights from everyone here. Cheers!!

rushkin-
Google “3DR User’s Manual” and print it- there’s a lot of information in there that can answer most questions. Your post made me smile- almost as if you believe you have everything you’ll need. I seen you were quick to get a gimbal from cameraguy- that’s was a good deal- So you have a gimbal, Solo is coming, a couple batteries, Back pack or droneguard carrier- and I assume a gopro. You are in pretty good shape. I’d get acquainted with Solo a little ( if you’ve never flew one) and after a little “ stick time “ then put your new gimbal on. You don’t want to damage your gimbal because it’s the hardest thing to find. Go to a big open field and have fun. Stay away from the trees!! Let me know when you buy your second one! Don’t think it will be too long.
