Opinions are like belly buttons, everyone has one, here's my 2¢.
Several are bits and pieces, some disagree with others thoughts. My first ever drone was a
M2P, I had watched a number of Youtube video's and did a lot of reading on Mavicpilots. I updated the firmware on all components (first and last time the batteries needed updating).
It can be quite windy here so I watch UAV Forecast until the winds were agreeable and went to a local soccer park where there are about 16 fields. From this location I don't have to worry about trees or buildings. I have about a 120° window with nothing but low brush for further than one battery will take me. I put it up, got the feel and learned a bit about controls that appear to be reversed when flying towards me, manual landing and got used to routinely glancing at the display to see settings, distance and elevation. I did this for several batteries.
The next day I started with three fresh batteries and enabled multiple flight modes pg 37 MP/MPP, Page 45
M2P and started to experiment, try Sport mode and other modes of interest. A word of caution, always be aware of wind speed and direction. (UAV Forecast) or an app of your choosing. Wind speed at ground level may not necessarily be representative of wind at different elevations. You might be out a distance and the battery is getting low and when you turn to go home you notice the forward speed is minimal. Sport mode is your worst enemy as it eats battery like a top fuel dragster drinks gas in a quarter mile.

Also in sport mode the stopping distance is significantly increased.
If you slip into ATTI mode, knowing how to control your AC can make the difference between going home with your bird or going home with a dried tear on your cheek.
I bought a Hubsan H501S, it has a selector switch P / ATTI to at least get the feel of what will happen and how to control it.
