Complete Beginner. Just purchased a Mavic. What have I done!

I'd advise NOT using sport mode until you're used to the controls, I had a proper go with this the other day and **** the thing can shift (and it's very sensitive on the controls)

Agreed - but even further, for the first few flight, put the Mavic into Tripod mode, as that makes it like it's on Prozac! Everything is slowed down.
Also get used to finding and pressing the 'Pause' button, as that's a great get-out-of-jail-free-card!
