The main points
Fly From the Car0:22

Fly From Inside

I like to fly only from inside the house or inside the car this way I’ll have full focus, nobody talking to me, and be far less likely to crash.

Ground Takeoff, Not Hand2:15

Take Off From the Ground

Take off from the ground, never from your hand. On the ground the drone gets its balance.

Fly Where You Look0:56

Fly Where You Look

Always fly in the direction you're looking, exactly like walking. You never walk backward or side to side. Flying backwards and sideways is how you crash.

Obstacle Sensors

Don't bank on obstacle sensors. A tiny camera sensor will likely not detect a wire a few millimeters thick.

Bonus: almost made the cut
Tree Rescue for $1000:20

Drone Stuck in a Tree

Drone stuck in a tall tree? Call a tree cutting company to climb it. About 100 dollars versus a several hundred to thousand dollar replacement drone.
