I love my disco, but it is a hell of a thing finding areas where you can easily land the thing without overshooting.
Try to make sure you have a good 100 ft of open space to land in, landing into the wind helps quite a bit, watch out that the downward sensor doesn’t detect trees right below it as you start to come in to land and pull up; Don’t be afraid to pull out of landing and come back around for a second ( or fourth try ).
At the same time, the disco is big and light and doesn’t seem to mind crashing that much, so don’t fret too much when you don’t land quite right, or make a mistake that “lands” early.
The disco moves along quite quickly, so you might be tempted to fly low and get fast moving footage, just be careful to keep a clear line of sight where you’re going; Return to home will bring it back if you lose signal, but only if it doesn’t crash into a tree or hill in the interveneing seconds before it kicks in.
You might be tempted to try and catch it landing instead of finding a flat surface to glide in. It can be done, but requires two people, and if the person catching doesn’t absolutely get it right, they might miss and cause a crash, catch a drone to the face at 30-60km/h, or cut their hand up on the prop going full reverse thrust.
The battery in it is a standard connector and is conservatively sized - if you want even longer flight time I purchased a nearly double capacity battery that’s just a bit bigger in size. Had to scoop out a tiny bit of foam to the left and right of the battery compartment, but now get well over an hour of flight when I want.
This is a very forgiving drone, provides lots of flight time per charge compared to multirotors. Great starter.
It also allows you to grow with it, with full manual control if you wanted to get into other fixed wing model aircraft or just to try some aerobatics, flight planning for automated flights if you want to try some mapping / modelling or just to see how far it can really go.
