    Dji smart controller less range than stock remote

    Yes I power cycled it mid flight. No I didn’t want to but I didn’t try to land. Now the nice thing is it was attempting to return to home when I turned it off and when I turned it back on I was reconnected and cancelled the auto landing and kept flying. I hate that quiz. I bet after I do ever...

    DJI Knowledge Quiz Mid flight

    Hold up Darrell. This garbage quiz takes away from the fact that DJI has the best drones out there by far? I’m no fanboy and I’m plagued by the quiz problem as well but it doesn’t make me think DJI technology is terrible. Just the guy they hired to do their web stuff is a douche bag.

    Knowledge Quiz

    I’ve seen the topics before but I’ve never seen a fix. Only DJI support saying to update your firmware. The website must be the worst as that quiz never works. I’ve seen people say things like “you only have to take the quiz once” but I want to know who has ever taken it? Cause mine don’t work...

    Dji smart controller less range than stock remote

    I got my smart controller with the package so I paid less than full price for it. I’ve only really been able to fly today and it was full on sun and the screen was great and I never lost signal. The other thing is the quiz thing popped up during my flight and I had to power cycle the controller...

    Dji smart controller less range than stock remote

    Actually finally had decent weather and this thing rocks. Didn’t lose signal so I will thumb it up to bad weather. And I sat in my house and connected an hdmi cable to my 65” 4K TV and that was pretty awesome. So I take back the bad things I said

    Dji smart controller less range than stock remote

    I can say this. Had the mavic pro 1. Stock controller of course. Got my mavic 2 pro with smart controller day before yesterday and I lost video signal a lot quicker than I did with mavic 1. Sure I have a lot of trees around. But I’m flying the same areas and I could get about 1.5 miles out...

    Dji Care Refresh turn around time?

    Mine took about 7 weeks. The whole time it was there kept showing repairing. Repairing. Repairing. Then I got it and it was new. Like if that was the plan ship it back right away.

    DJI Goggles Finally here, but illegal!

    You know most cars have a speedometer that shows around 110 or 120 but yet how many roads are that speed limit? I don't always fly my mavic with line of sight but I like to see it so I don't break that rule often. I'll be getting the goggles and won't always have a spotter. I don't plan on...

    iPad half case - tell me what you think

    So i stick my ipad in the controller with no ipad mount, works great for me and i didnt want to block the controller, blah blah blah. Anyway, the ipad has no case when doing that as it barely fits as is. Being that I use my ipad only for this, I cut my case to fit the controller. See the pic for...

    Question - potential problem after I hit a bush

    I think its part of the collision avoidance but i just never noticed it that hard before. I turned off all collision avoidance and it does not do that. I also confirmed that it is only near the home point. No way i would have missed that behavior although i did change some settings yesterday...

    Question - potential problem after I hit a bush

    I was flying about 3-4 feet up, clipped a bush and my mavic went down, not hard, nothing physical broken. But I notice a behavior that i didnt think was there before. When i push forward it barely moves forward, when i push the stick to go backwards it responds immediatly and comes back, pushing...
