I guess your post makes more sense to me now. Personally, I didn't take any of the posts as coming across as ungrateful. It came across, to me, as folks verifying things were functioning normally. I was in the same boat and even if I hadn't come across the Smart Controller firmware issue...

Gee whiz, take a chill pill. I didn't want RID and I didn't support the implementation. Hell bent? No. As Sam said, I am just simply trying to see if the FAA required functionality is functioning. Who questioned the legitimacy of the software? I see people trying to see if it was working...

Are you using a Smart Controller or standard controller? Given that RID scanners (using WiFi) won't work on iOS, I have no way currently to check and see if my updates and setup is functioning properly on my Smart Controller. Only reason I wonder is that the most current Remote Controller...

[Update]: I did some interweb searching for iOS and drone scanner after posting. Nothing really popped up. So I dove into Drone Scanner settings. It stated that Wi-Fi access "Not Granted." No settings I could find to enable. Then I saw a "Why WiFi cannot be enabled on this iPhone?" link on...

Is this RID update compatible with the Smart Controller? I read through the release notes and I updated my Mavic 2 Pro and Smart Controller. My aircraft firmware and DJI Go 4 App match the release notes on the first post on page 1. My Smart Controller "Remote Controller Firmware" does not...

I figured the culprit was timeline frame rate when I saw this this thread title ... because it hit me too when I first started using Resolve a few years ago. In case you stumbled into the right answer vs reading it somewhere - the timeline frame rate needs to be set to match the raw frame rate...

Articles linked here are decent. Not all news articles have been decent on this topic and some are using hyperbole. In one example, my MIL contacted me recently asking how likely was it that the new 5G towers would adversely impact the autopilot on commercial aircraft. It was long enough ago...

Not completely accurate. For Category II/III approaches (low visibility and/or low ceilings[less than 200']), inputs from the radar altimeter tell the autopilot when to start reducing the throttles to idle for landing as well pitching the nose up in preparation for landing. There are other...

If there were going to be a problem, I would presume that it would require towers to be installed near operating runways to cause a problem. Purely speculating (aka rectal extraction), but I suspect installing towers near airports isn't where the 5G was initially deployed and thus not a problem...

Long time pilot and current commercial airline pilot. Several have touched on the actual issue and it simply boils down to the recently approved 5G frequency spectrum is adjacent to the radio altimeter frequencies used in airplanes. They use the radio altimeter to calculate the actual height...

All good advice. I will add that the OP and my post above are in reference to the Smart Controller (SC). This issue was non-existent (for me) until the firmware was updated to support Air 2. Apparently it was still there in .880 a few months back. I had contemplated upgrading since .880...

I had this very problem and the drone is not disconnected. I believe that it is simply a DJI GO 4 app crash. Everything still works control wise, you just can't do anything camera related since the app crashed. Opening the app back up restores all functionality. I swore I had posted on this...

I don't think this is limited to DJI FLY 4 as this is exactly the same issue I had with my Smart Controller using DJI Go 4 and my M2P. I would look down and see the home screen for the DJI GO app while flying the drone. The drone was completely controllable at this point. I could see how...

I went down this rabbit hole back in November 2020. I would look down and see the home screen for the DJI GO app while flying the drone. The drone was completely controllable at this point. Through experimentation, I noticed it mostly occurred when trying to start recording video. I'd hit...

I have had a SC for use with my M2P since I purchased it last year. I would absolutely buy a SC again. I don't have anything new to add on the "pro" side of things, so I'll add my one major complaint. I started doing work requiring mapping and this is where the SC falls short. I ended up...
