Remember if you have a relatively modern PC on Windows 10 then you can download the DJI Flight Simulator and practice by connecting your Smart Controller and on rainy days run the “Free” options available and fly a variety of different drones through different options. look on YouTube and forums...

I have the Mini2 and air2 and they don’t work with the simulator. I now can get some real use out of Smart Controller with both drones and the simulator.

I am completely Mac based and I wanted to use the free simulator so I purchased a mini pc that fixes to the back of my monitor, included windows pro 64 bit version. The mini pc has 16g ram and the i5-8000 range chip. Absolutely no problem running the simulator but I have a limitation on graphics...

No for a while…a lot of commercial work with mavic series and older drones is still carried out on android and now that Apple have raised the stakes for developers including dJI we will see. Firstly fees, If you are a 3rd party developer and your app revenue per annum is below $1M Apple want...

If you are on iOS then “Maven for dji drones” is for you. I have been using it since 2018 and I now use it with my Mavic Air 2. With waypoints you can create from scratch, import a waypoint mission created on the litchi hub or create a mission on the fly. The app is simple to use and very...

There is an ongoing battle about initial fees, Apple want 20% + and most developers want to pay 10-15% once the developer passes the $1M dollar threshold. There is also another argument about “in app” advertising, Apple want a share of in app developer advertising fees. Apple says that they...

Maven for dji Been using this app since 2018 and it just gets better and better as it includes a lot more than waypoints but it is very simple to use. The latest upgrade (3.8) is a real game changer as it includes setting waypoints at a constant “above ground” height option which is needed on...

I agree with Maggior and his comments, I live in the UK where we have a lot less bright sunshine. I got the Smart Controller mainly for the brighter screen and now that the mini2 has been added I use a single controller for both the Mavic Air 2 and the mini 2 and it runs hot with both. Remember...

I have the MA1, MA2 and Mini2 and the next drone I buy will be the first one that comes out with the new “Certification” that will be required in the UK which means it has the “slow speed” built in to allow me to benefit from less restrictions on distances from objects. If history is anything to...

Android 1.4.4 out now

thank you for your comment. after flying ”above ground” many times with Litchi on uneven terrain and then importing via CSV into Maven and manually altering the altitudes to match the Litchi calculations then testing it became apparent that the altitude using Google earth could from 10’ up to...

The firmware upgrade has been completed, Mini2 now on the smart controller….thanks dji

Thanks for that. This coupled with the “above ground” waypoints option makes it a very powerful app. It just gets better.

The new upgrade to 3.8 is a game changer for recreational flights on uneven ground, it is so easy to use. I created 3 flights with the “above ground” option one flying downhill from home position at 100’ down into an altitude of -60’, one from home position of 100’ up to an altitude of 1100’ up...

Thank you for the very clear explanation. I would like to just add one thing. I now use the Maven app which as you say is iOS only on my Mavic Air 2 and litchi on my Mavic Air 1 which offers the “complete mission” because the Air 1 is wifi not occusync. I have been creating the missions in...
