Yeah I've broken a few drones as well! They're tough to use. The Mavic seems to have some pretty high-tech avoidance systems, so I think I can hopefully not make any deadly mistakes!

Yes! Battery is a huge issue that I've seen people complain about. I actually ordered the drone with the "fly more" package and it comes with 3 batteries so when each one gets low you can pull the drone down and swap them out and recharge. I'm pretty excited about this, hopefully I can get some cool shots for all of you!
