    Can battery with latest update be used with a Mavic 2 running old firmware?

    I guess if you have one updated just try it and see if it works in the non-updated bird. Otherwise, why not just update both drones so you don't need the RID module. I mean, since it's built in why not use it. I updated my M2Z and Smart Controller back around the first of the year and it's works...

    Update on Mav 4 Pro confiscated by Customs

    Exactly my point, maybe a little more direct, but I definitely agree. I know I (and we) have to try not to be political in these forums. However now days in the US it's hard to separate DJI and politics. It seems one follows the other, especially when there's little reminders like this...

    Update on Mav 4 Pro confiscated by Customs

    This is due to the anti-china and tariff thing. It could take a long time for them to get over their latest tantrum. It might old model before it's returned. We're not under the normal rules anymore, it's an authoritarian government now.

    Update on Mav 4 Pro confiscated by Customs

    What the heck are you talking about? It's a replacement drone for the one he sent to dji for repair. It was shipped from dji to him and is his drone. If they send another one it will be confiscated as well. It's much to do about nothing unless it's your drone and $4500 you're out of I suppose.

    Update on Mav 4 Pro confiscated by Customs

    You can thank current administration and congress for this one. It's all part of the ongoing China bashing campaign. I certainly hope you get your equipment back, but it doesn't sound good.

    I have M2P and M2Z with very old firmware - RID module or activate latest?

    My M2Z is updated to the latest firmware with RID and works fine. I also use the Smart Controller and needed to install the latest version of GO4 and reboot both for everything to work properly. So I would think whatever phone or display you use would need the latest version of GO4 as well as...

    How often should props be changed

    Master Airscrew has good quality props of several different colors. I've been running the same set (orange) for a couple years. I also have several other sets. They aren't cheap, but come as a complete set of four.

    Gimbal Nonresponsive to input ~ Moves Randomly

    I've had no problems with the latest firmware, which adds the RID to the drone as required. I had to update both the aircraft and install the latest version of GO4 in the Smart Controller right from the DJI website. After updating everything and rebooting them I've had no problems at all.

    Low cost Epson Smart Glasses

    They'll also work on the original Smart Controller (RM500), which has an HDMI output port. That's a good price, I remember a few years ago when they were substantially more that.

    Any way to charge the batteries without the AC or car charger?

    You 're out of luck.

    Am I just being paranoid?

    Depending on where you fly, and as long as you fly it as intended, you won't have any problems whatsoever. Also, the "trust" certificate thing is very simple and only takes a little while to complete. It's basically all common sense answers.

    Crashed mavic 2 Zoom

    To me it's worth it, one of the best drones out there (along with the M2P).

    My Adorama Mavic 4 Pro Fly More Combo Post-Purchase Experiences

    I have several drones over the last 5 or 6 years and have never had any type insurance on any of them. I make sure my batteries are charged, do my preflight check, take it up and wait for the "homepoint has been updated", and fly it. Have never had any problems at all. If you pay attention, you...
