Welcome!
An M2P is a great choice even for someone starting out. So many features including a more feature rich controller than many of the newer models. Being a bit "older" it has some great 3rd party apps that you can take advantage of when you're up to it. One of them, for less than $25 USD is call Litchi. The Go4 app that is the main program has a lot of auto features, but Litchi takes it a few steps further and will let you program automated missions which you can do right from your computer and preview them at home, again from your computer- in addition to creating auto missions in the field. You can also use Litchi with VR goggles if you want to fly FPV. And there are other apps as well right now for the M2P.

There are so many features that it will take time to learn. There is so much packed into this drone. Congrats.

Good luck.

Don't you worry. It really won't take very long till you get the hang of it. I think you'll be surprised how fast you get it. Here's one video that can help you get going.

The M2P is a rock solid performer for sure, and as long as some basic pre flight checks are done, and you learn as you go in small steps, you'll be fine.

As mentioned above in a few posts, YouTube is awesome to get a bit of an insight into any drone or video / photo type tutorials.

For you, I'd suggest search there for > mavic 2 pro first flight < . . . and perhaps other searches like > mavic 2 pro flight settings < . . . > mavic 2 pro go4 menu settings < that sort of thing, watch and go try, then come back to reinforce anything you're not sure of.

Definitely the first few flights go to a big flat open space, an oval or sports ground (not the Gabba on match day ) and just do some basic first flight maneuvers.
Take a first flight photo, it's one you'll want to remember.

I'll be flying up on Saturday for a few weeks stay . . . part work / part play, hoping to get to the Glasshouse for a day, might even camp up there a night and really have a good look around.
But staying down south so might be tight for time, we'll see.

Great drone choice in my opinion. Very capable and lots of accessories out there for it. Remember to wait for a good GPS lock before flying around, and altitude is your friend. Those trees and structures reach out and grab you. Also remenber you can leave go of the sticks at any time and it will stop. Welcome to the forum!
