    New DJI Fly app 1.4.2. How do you update the Smart Controller?

    The DJI Fly App is no longer available in the Play Store. In the Smart Controller you can update the app by downloading it from DJI's downloads page on their web site using the web browser in the controller. The same applies to any smart phone. You can then use the file manager to find the...

    Smart controller problems

    I live in Texas, US, and was experiencing similar symptoms with the Air 2S and SC. They seemed to have disappeared after I updated to the most recent version of DJI Fly (v 1.4.2). There is still some lag but less than before the update. The range improved substantially over what it was before.

    Smart Controller Mavic Air 2 Zoom function?

    My MA2 got hit by a powerful laser.

    Then why was the law written to include ALL aircraft rather than only manned aircraft, if the intent was to never enforce the law against lasers shining on unmanned aircraft?

    Can't win for losing on this Android tablet situation.

    I have had great success with the Galaxy Tab S6. It has USB C and is very fast. I have no issues using the DJI Fly app and it seems to stay bright enough for me to operate the MA2 with no issues on a sunny day. Someone I watched on YouTube had posted links for these on Etsy for a simple cheap...

    Mavic Air 2 Viewing Device

    I use 2 devices depending on the need. First is a Samsung Note 8 and second is a Samsung Galaxy Tab S6. They both have usable brightness although sometimes I could use a hood for the tablet.

    Hello to everyone from Austin, TX!

    My first was a Contixo F18. Not a DJI, but I was still getting my feet wet so it wasn't expensive and it did the trick.

    Hello to everyone from Austin, TX!

    I'm flying a Mavic Air 2 and a Mavic Mini. Prior to those I flew a couple of the cheaper drones that are good in their own ways but let's just say aerial photography was not their strong suit. Despite the fact that it's very light, I find I like the mini for more close-quarters inspections when...
