On Saturday, October 13, I lost my Mavic 2 Zoom in the Buzzards' Roost Gulch south of Chillicothe.

Here's a graphic explaining how I lost it (click on thumbnail):

The next day I ordered a new DJI Mavic Pro for less than half the price of the M2. 

It arrived on October 20, and I spent most of the weekend

learning how to fly it and getting the settings right. 

It's called getting back on [ a less expensive version of ] the horse that threw ya.

Flying from the Bridge over the Stream - with Full Magnification

That flight over the stream was flown manually.    The next flight was entirely autonomous.

Using the Litchi Mission Hub, while sitting in my living room, 

I designed a 26-waypoint flight and flew it two days later:

Flying Upstream to the Bridge - 100% autonomous flight

After a minor stint at the drone repair shop, the bird flew upstream again,
