The
Mavic 2 Pro is an awesome device, it is more fun than a barrel of monkeys to use an old saying.
First suggestion is to
read the User Manual. It will be overwhelming but you need to understand it, especially the Return to Home (RTH) settings. Then take some paper and read through the manual again and make note and page number on topics you do not understand or remember so you can go back to them.
Before you fly, update the firmware on the Remote Control (RC), (Drone / Aircraft (AC) and (batteries if needed).
DJI Assistant 2 can be downloaded from the
Mavic 2 Downloads page. You can use DJI GO 4 (get it from the Play store - Android OR App Store - IOS) .
DJI GO 4 has a
Flight Simulator, it is an excellent way to get some stick time and see how things work.
Get an app called "UAV Forecast", wind at ground level may be OK but may be too high at higher elevations. Until you gt comfortable with flying, this needs to be your bible on flying conditions.
You may need to calibrate the compass, the procedure in the User Manual is incorrect, find the correct procedure in a Youtube video.
Go to Youtube and put "
Mavic 2 Pro" in the search line, it will give you broad topic categories, select one or press enter and it will bring up very long list of video's.
Provided with the aircraft are three short cables designed to go from the side charging port on the RC and connect to the cell phone used as the display. If you use an Android you know from having read the User Manual that the RC will try to charge an Android.
A better option is to go from the bottom USB (type A) to the display device (phone or tablet, Android or IOS).
The side charging port on the RC is a USB micro connector even though it is square. The User Manual told and showed you the proper way to insert the charging cable'
When you are ready to fly, find a wide open area like a soccer field or similar. Metal or electrical lines will cause compass error and could cause your AC to loose orientation and control.
You know from having read the User Manual that the AC is in beginner mode where the distance and elevation are limited.
