I don't know if the DJI simulator is still available but I would start there. Then in your yard or park. Learn to fly the aircraft around yourself. Not near yourself but close. Learn to fly nose in. Learn to fly in a circle around yourself while keeping the camera pointed at yourself. Do the same while changing elevation. Learn to fly a square path. Set up some obstacles in the yard and do smooth figure 8s around them. Know how to fly. Learn to locate the contols and buttons without looking. then pick up target and try to keep the drone pointed at it while doing all the same exercises.

I had been flying airplanes and helicopters for years and I bet you I burned more than six batteries before I turned the camera on and tried to record things.

A lot of people buy these aircraft and don't actually know how to fly them. I think it's sad . My 2 cents.

The good news is you really have to try hard to crash If you don't listen to my advice but welcome either way!

I have lots of good tips at MavicHelp.com.

Congratulations! I would get the cheapest drone from Walmart or a Syma from amazon and start with that, they’re a lot more difficult to fly than the Mavic and crashing often results in damaged props if any.
Look up quadcopter101 on youtube, that guy has great tips for beginners.
