    Mavic 2 Pro issues with DJI Go 4 app on Smart Controller, App crashes controller video and all information from drone.

    Well that didn't take as long as I thought it would, set to 2.8 only has the same issue. While at a boat landing which did not have anything right next to it for "power" or other items that might affect the transmission, I still lost video and the app "crashed". Drone was about 30' horizontally...

    Mavic 2 Pro issues with DJI Go 4 app on Smart Controller, App crashes controller video and all information from drone.

    Felix le Chat you were correct that the controller default for video transmission was in dual band, for now I switched it to 2.8 to see if I still have the issue. But will be hard to prove as we don't know just when it was going to disconnect. I also find it "scary" that all other information...

    Mavic 2 Pro issues with DJI Go 4 app on Smart Controller, App crashes controller video and all information from drone.

    Sorry, to clarify the 2020 was drone and smart controller "upgrade" from the older original Mavic. (I have only had SC for this drone) Thanks, will check the dual band setting and post what I find. I have had 2 near full battery flights without issue. (And no changes that I'm aware of doing)

    Mavic 2 Pro issues with DJI Go 4 app on Smart Controller, App crashes controller video and all information from drone.

    Thanks! Do you have plans for the Remote ID "upgrade" that sounds like we can get vs buying "hardware"? I have no clue if we will need to update the android version or just what will be needed. Everything had been work so well. :)

    Mavic 2 Pro issues with DJI Go 4 app on Smart Controller, App crashes controller video and all information from drone.

    Hello, long time since I have been on here as I have not had any issue till now. (I had the original Mavic that had video issues and app issues so this is a replacement Drone I bought new in 2020 with Smart Controller with the thought that App, within the controller right from DJI would not have...

    Should I replace this prop?

    I love all the "yes" answers! My wife always picks on me when I answer with a yes or no to her questions that gave an "or" in them!! I sure would replace. Good luck!

    Drone recover fail

    Wow, bummer for all. I think you can take the thought of him taking your drone off the plate. Your $300.00 would be more than the drone value right? (Before it took a bath) Also you said he was going to give it to his department drone fund so really just don't see him talking your drone and...

    Crashed Mavic Pro Platinum - Repair

    Hello, I'm in a similar situation but only working the board that controls the gimbal, video and forward sensors at this point anyway. Had the same error you have, no video and gimbal attempts the "start up sequence" but fails and remain as "NA" per the remote control. (Mine was not a hard...

    Lost my drone tonight

    I you have a lost drone, don't give up looking! Remember your GPS is only going to get you so close, make a circle keeping the location above in the center, use a rope if you need too to keep track of the search area. (I found mine in Sept after I lost it in Feb 2020. repair estimate is $300.00...

    Using the Mavic 2 on a power supply, without a battery

    Funny, if you look long enough someone else already asked the same question! (I was going to start a new tread but no need, one is already here. Thanks OP!!!) Too bad a USB cable can't power up what is needed to move data into the drone.(?) Then again over time they get to sell you another...

    Mavic pro dead battery

    I don't buy that they are really "junk". . . I have one that might be junk as it was on my lost drone from Feb 2020 till I was able to find and recover it in Oct. (I figured the drone would be junk and "recover" the battery, turned out I think the drone will fly again but the battery will not...

    Mini My flight today from my Mavic Mini Drone @209FT Six Flags Great America, Gurnee IL 10.24.20 2.4K 30fps

    Almost no traffic even near it! So what is the story with the boat inside the park but in small trees???? (Near the end of the flight) They could save some coin by shutting off the billboard only the drone can see. . .

    Had my first crazy neighbor experience...

    If you know him outside of this one meeting, try make peace. . . .(If not try stay away if you can, no sense making things worse. . .) GOOD LUCK!!!!!
