    Successful Rooting of Rm500 (also known as the smart controller)

    Since the couple of firmware updates and increased compatibility with other models, the best way to use the SC is to install the google framework and services so that you can download whichever app you want to download incl Litchi from the android App Store. For transmission boost you can easily...

    Best mobile phone

    DJI has paid Apple to advertise for Apple? Get your head out of your you know what.

    Best mobile phone

    There is no myth here. Even after decade of making drones, look at what DJI specifies on the box in which the drone is shipped.

    Am I a wuss ?

    As someone suggested, maybe you should try something easier first. Maybe a single rotor cp heli? Only one motor and some bare electronics, you can’t go wrong.

    Am I a wuss ?

    If attempting to fly the mini 2 causes wobbly legs and lack of sleep, after reading the manual at least, maybe the thing to do is to have a shot. Calm your nerves, take your equipment, ram it up her *** (the battery), take off and have 20 min of fun in your yard. Then sleep like a baby.

    Mavic mini fly away

    If you don’t see the horizon line at all, it’s prob not a good sign if you are fighting the wind.

    Mavic mini fly away

    The wind direction and the response of the drone is shown on the screen: you have switch the map to compass. to see which way the ac is tilting in both angles to compensate. That along with the most basic preflight check that of wind at different altitudes which you con get in countless apps (...

    Someone got the Air 2s already from the Store Release.

    Whatever reservations we have about DJI, I think they deserve an unreserved recognition of their commitment and success of their drone program. Air2s in every way is an unprecedented and pathbreaking drone. At this rate, we cannot even imagine what a Mavic 3 is going to be.

    Yes, DroneHacks has replaced the earlier method of altering the software on the drone. The problem is the app. The moment you lock in your geolocation it will apply all the applicable laws automatically. So basically you have to fake your gps etc and do this every time you start a flight session.

    Someone got the Air 2s already from the Store Release.

    FlyApp is a big issue in many countries like India where an arbitrary ceiling of drones like mavic mini is 15 m in height rendering it almost useless. Mavic Air 2 also operates on Flyapp and that means you have to get permission from the govt to even fly it. The Go4 app still works as before on...

    Someone got the Air 2s already from the Store Release.

    seems like the most hilarious case of deer caught in the headlights! Has no idea of drones, how to even link, and a rather frightful display of switching the drone on, the whole time his eyes were like this thing is going to explode in my hands!!

    Successful Rooting of Rm500 (also known as the smart controller)

    Yes it is underpowered, it’s no where close to the flagship phones that we are used to. So the best thing in my experience is to run one or two apps at a time max. DJI apps are very resource hungry and many of the disconnects happen because you have something running in the background. In...

    Well, can you post pictures of those files here then?

    Smart Controller or a PREPOSTEROUS JOKE

    I’m talking about the hybrid something MIUI ROM on the SC. This is the only tool that actually shows what the SC is: bootloader, fastboot and recovery. You can see those when you open up the app associated with it. It’s an android radio, not a tab.
