Excellent Resource
This is an excellent resource to get you up and running very quickly - the video helps you to "see" step by step, and James puts this on a level to make it easy to follow and not quite as intimidating as the manual (but definitely read the manual!!! Use this as an additional resource). Money well-spent!

DJI Intelligent Navigation Demonstration (26 minutes)
The advanced features are fun to use and with instruction, easy to learn. However, there are factors that are not completely intuitive. While the advanced features do help to provide a more controlled flight, these are advanced features and if used improperly could cause a crash. Watch this video to help you to understand how the Intelligent Navigation features work. Be sure to use the features wisely by flying in wide open areas. Using the Follow Me feature is not recommended. Be extremely careful when doing so.
