    DJI Smart Controller really as bad as its reputation?

    I have not had one issue with mine. Maybe I was lucky. I have a MA2 and M2Z and run them both with it. I read a lot of negative reviews but the positive ones led me to get the SC and I think I made the right move. My phone is not tied up and can be used for something else. I’m flying in no time.

    Sell or keep

    So there definitely seems to be one camp or the other in the skydio vs mavic debate. It's all about how you use it. Anyone have both? If I do anything it really comes down to keeping or selling the skydio. I could play with it a bit and then sell it used.

    Sell or keep

    Yes if I were to have one drone it would be a Mavic.

    Sell or keep

    That is the kind of input I want. They all bring something different to the table. I am trying to justify keeping all of them. Or am I redundant in my capabilities? The Skydio came to me in a deal I could not refuse.

    Sell or keep

    Thanks. From a practical standpoint that is also my thinking. I could hold on to all three. Skydio would fetch the most as it’s totally virgin but I am intrigued to try it out.

    Sell or keep

    So the short of it is this. I recently acquired a brand new unused Skydio cinema kit. I already own a ma2 and m2z. Can’t decide if I should keep all three or sell one. It’s a nice problem to have but a problem nonetheless. Any thoughts?

    Waypoint Software

    Thanks. I put the beta on last month and took it off because it was lacking waypoints.

    Waypoint Software

    I’m in the same boat. Have a MA2 and love it but really wanting to do waypoints. Got an awesome deal on M2Z specifically to have something capable of doing missions. I have tried a couple on GO4. I purchased litchi as well but have not tried it.

    Mavic 3 - Will You Upgrade?

    I will get one. Maybe not right away. I will wait for someone who got in way over their heads and wants to unload for a discount. Be patient and look.. And like a predator I will pounce on my prey and pull the trigger when the time is right. Until then I will keep flying my MA2 and M2Z which I love.

    Vision System Status icon and drone speed

    Mine did this as well. I toggled the button a few times and went back to normal speed. I figured it was just me bumping the setting. I guess not

    Mavic air 2 with smart controller

    I have a MA2 SC combo and I love it. I did it for a better deal on SC. I also have a M2Z I can run with the same controller.

    Advice for Newbie, please

    I went with Air 2 flymore combo and SC over 2s combo and standard controller. I am very happy with my choice and love the SC. I have no regrets so far.

    Oops... I have 2 drones now

    M2Z not a virgin anymore. Was not able to spend much time in the air. I had to calibrate the IMU. It took a little to complete the process as the app does little to guide you. Bird probably sat for awhile in the box. Got it up. Played around with go4 for a bit. Go4 is a considerably more robust...

    Thanks. I have to temper my enthusiasm just a little though. Happy wife happy life. Weather is nice. M2Z will get maiden flight. I have never used the Go4 app. Only Fly. Both birds bound to the smart controller.
