New owner of M2P...

[clintwa1]

As I have entered my 50s and like everyone else started living in a COVID world, I have decided to fine more socially distant hobbies. I purchased my Mavic 2 Pro drone about a week ago and bought all the add-ons possible. I have flown it about 4 times so far and enjoy each outing. I have to find more videos and documentation. I am getting confused on the different SD slots and not comfortable watching the screen only. Any advice and guidance will be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the forum.
You will find YouTube is your friend as well as the downloaded
manual. Take your time and read in our rules and regs section
as well as the M2P section.
Stay safe and fly safe. ?

Great choice,the M2P is a superb drone,.....as mentioned above,so much info on You tube,and this forum.
Sandisk extreme pro is a great SD card for 4k video.
Like you I bought all the add ons I liked the look off.
You might consider the goggles,once you feel confident flying your drone....many people inc myself bought the RE version,and found they had a range issue,I sent mine back,and they fixed them,they now go far.
A suggestion, if the goggles tempt you? You tube again (not everyone likes them) is to buy the earlier white set 2nd hand on eBay.
I bought a set that way while my RE were away for repair, they worked great with my M2Z.
Hope you got some nice views nearby,till life gets back to normal

Welcome to the forums - a lot of good info here. Also, the search function (magnifying glass icon upper right) is a great way to find answers to many of the questions a "newbie" will have. We were all "newbies" at one point.

haha
take it slow and dont fly beyond your confidence level. It will grow and as you come to trust the onboard systems and understand what you can do, you become more comfortable.
just stay under 400ft and keep it in sight at all times and youll be fine
