    Iffy build quality.

    I felt this exact same way about the Mini 3 Pro as well. I appreciate the weight saving measures, but it felt more like a toy as opposed to something like the Air 3. I was also disappointed with the stability in the windy places I fly, and the range I was getting in my particular flying...

    RC Update Needed - No update available

    @old man mavic That worked! OMG, you are my hero. I did not know, and have never calibrated the "wheels" only the sticks. When I did the FULL calibration, the "RC Updated Required" error disappeared, apparently for good! I have flown 5 batteries since your message ... flawless. I really...

    RC Update Needed - No update available

    For normally functioning RC/drone, how often is the "RC calibration needed" message suppose to pop up? Throughout my experience, every time I start the RC 2 it says Calibration needed (in addition to the firmware message). Essentially, under what circumstances are people finding calibration...

    Ah, I see. Very helpful comment. I did not understand that association. I was expecting a separate Check For Updates next the RC. Thank you for explaining that to me. I appreciate it.

    Gotcha. I did that. No dice. Contacted DJI, discussed the video with them, they said it needs to be sent back for diagnostics and repair. They won't let me refund/replace since I received it 26 days ago. Pretty disappointed in the lack of willingness to stand by the product. Next time will...

    Yes, that was what I selected. Why would the drone firmware have any impact on the RC 2 saying it needs to be updated?

    Downloaded Assistant 2 to my Windows PC, opened the app, attached USB-A (computer) to USB-C port on RC 2, then Updated RC 2 firmware. It said it was successful.

    Just an update and hoping for any other suggestions. As recommended above, I updated the RC 2 with the Assistant 2 app. No issue doing that. I contact DJI and they also recommended that, so done. Went out to fly, and in fact things are even worse. 1. Turn on RC 2 2. Turn on A3 3. RC 2 says...

    Thanks for the tip. I just did this. Will be taking it outside shortly to fly and will report back here with the (hopefully) good news. This drone has not disappointed in any other way, so hopefully it will be as simple as this. It's frustrating seeing a pod of dolphins off the dock and...

    Great to know. Thank you. I did that and it said firmware up to date. RC 2 still showed error box RC update required and wouldn’t let me take off.

    Any idea why an "update flag" would need to be reset? Would "resetting" the controller accomplish the same effect as the process you are describing? Hoping someone out there has encountered the same issue and let me know what the permanent fix might be. Thank you!

    I am not sure what "blue box" you are referring to. The red error on the controller says to update RC, but when I go to that menu in order to update the RC, there is no option displayed to "Check for updates".

    RC Update Needed - No update available

    This is the error I received this afternoon. I then went to the Settings --> About menu, and there were no updates. Why is it telling me there are updates, and preventing me from flying almost every time I take it out? And then turning R2 and drone on/off several times makes the error/warning...

    RC Update Needed - No update available

    Hello - I can't seem to find the answer in the manual or searching the web, so hope someone can point me in the right direction. Air 3 FMC with the RC 2. Almost every time I take it out to fly (once or twice a week),on immediate startup there is a message on the controller that says that "RC...
