    Smart controller and Occusync 3 (O3)

    Apparently the Air 2S which is O3 is going to be compatible with the Smart Controller. I wonder if the Smart Controller is going to do O3 or if the Air 2S is going to be backwards compatible with Occusync 2. Just read the specs on the Air 2S. It says the Air 2S has O3 but is compatible with...

    Smart controller and Occusync 3 (O3)

    That is the exact video I was talking about. My wording was poor. I didn't mean to suggest it is compatible now with any O3 drone (currently just DJI FPV) or that DJI has any plans to make it compatible. I really just wanted to know if his comment about it being POSSIBLE with a software change...

    Smart controller and Occusync 3 (O3)

    The guy at Drone Valley said the difference between Occusync 2 and Occusync 3 is just a software difference and not hardware. He basically said that the Smart controller would be compatible with O3 after a firmware update. Is this true? It doesn't matter so much now but will on the Mavic 3 (if...

    Litchi - Syncing waypoint missions

    I creating some waypoint missions in Litchi on my desktop PC and also deleted some missions. However, when I go to sync them to my various devices (all connected to wifi), some work others don't. On my iphone and ipad the new missions show up, but the deleted some missions still show up on...

    Store Batteries in Charging hub - Mavic Mini?

    I thought since the Mini's batteries are Lithium Ion and not Lithium Polymer that they didn't have to be discharged to store? And they can hold most of their charge for months. So unlike the other Mavics you can always have a charged battery ready to go. I know the manual says to discharge to...

    Flying Drone from Parking Lot - Question

    I know there are parts of many other threads that discuss some version of this but I wanted direct advice and for the question to not get lost in a longer post. I was out flying yesterday at a spot that I having being using for well over one year. It is a large parking lot that is part of a...

    Why DJI created a 249g Drone?

    This is a great explanation right from DJI on why a 249g drone was important. https://content.dji.com/why-did-dji-create-a-249-gram-drone/ I see this as mainly a travel drone. It has great utility for individuals that travel to various countries. Many of those countries require registration...

    Im keeping track and its up to 4 times...

    So to narrow this down and try to understand what is happening. Have we determined that the auto-landing is the result of the RTH being initiated and the return at current altitude being turned off? If we can conclude that, then we can try to figure out why the RTH was started (lost signal for...

    Can anyone talk me out of buying BT-300 glasses

    On the Moverio Youtube page in the community section there is a survery related to selling the HDMI control unit as a stand-alone accessory. This survey is five months old and clearly shows a desire from the public to buy the unit stand-alone. Has there been any talk at Epson to follow through...

    How much battery did you have left? Did the aircraft initiated a RTH? I had something similar happen to me that is discussed in another thread (Battery Level Indicator Bar). Here is an interesting part of my comment - something I just noticed in the manual. "If the aircraft is between 5m and...

    Can anyone talk me out of buying BT-300 glasses

    How were you able to purchase the HDMI control unit? Did you buy it separate from the BT-35s? I have the smart controller and the BT-300s with the Rochester Optical inserts, so I don't want to go through the expense of buying inserts for the new glasses and would prefer just the HDMI control...

    Battery Level Indicator Bar

    Great advice. Thank you. I am going to make that change tonight. Also, another somewhat related topic that I just read in the manual for people interested and following this topic "If the aircraft is between 5m and 20m from the home point when the RTH procedure begins: i. If the RTH at...

    Battery Level Indicator Bar

    Thanks. This answers my question perfectly! I didn't realize that it initiated smart RTH at 20%. My battery was at around 22% so it was probably calculating raising altitude (350ft) before landing. Going up and down over 300 feet would definitely use 2% battery life. And as you said, since...

    Battery Level Indicator Bar

    That is good advice, thanks. I do normally land well before warnings, typically 25%. I am just trying to not be annoying to the people around me with the battery warning beep. Still wondering about the "H" on the indicator bar. Is it because of quick voltage drop at low battery levels?

    Battery Level Indicator Bar

    I was out flying yesterday and noticed that the "H" (return to home level) on the battery level indicator bar doesn't seem to be very accurate. I thought it was supposed to indicate the point which the battery is only enough to RTH. I also have 20% and 10% battery warnings levels set. The...
