Did you have GPS lock before you took off? The manual says max wind speed is 22 mph.

I switched it from Sports mode to GPS. Do you some information I can use to ensure I did it properly? Also can you say whether or not I can fly my Mavic with the same iPad I use to fly my Phantom 4 Pro?

You can use the same device (tablet) for multiple drones.

If you let it orient itself for a moment before you take off you will get a GPS lock and hear (and see) a message that says "home point recorded." The steadiness of the hover is also determined by the amount of visible light, the brighter the better.

Just by what you say here, it's pretty clear that you need to dive into the owners manual a bit. It'll keep you out of trouble, and help you to understand what steps you need to go through to take off -- and that's the easy part. There's a lot to know -- some by reading, and some by doing. But start by reading.
