    DJI Smart Controller......New Firmware Again...V01.00.0880

    Personally, I always do updates to my SC and MA2 via the Assistant app. I find the updates always run more consistently, although the actual update portion shouldn’t make any difference. I have a 1000Mbos internet connection, so the downloads go much faster.

    Zoom Functionality is a sliding scale!

    I get a kick out of the people who complain about everything. The zoom features are fantastic new options. You forget that 95% or more of the people who use drones for photography are not professionals. We are just average people who like creative photography of our homes and places we like to...

    New Firmware for Air 2

    My guess is the delay is caused by the Fly app being customized for the SC, not so much for the drone.

    New Firmware for Air 2

    I always use the DJI Assistant app on my Mac to do the updates. The download is much faster and the update is very consistent with the USB connection. The whole process is much faster.

    Your Ultimate Guide to Everything Drone Related

    Go to Pgytech. I have been using their sun shade for the mini for a couple of years. It works great and doesn't get in the way.

    Problems going below starting ALT

    I don’t think it had anything to do with your takeoff altitude. It was probably the sensors being confused with the reflection off the water. I think DJI recommends staying 20ft or more above water. It might decide to land instead of going up. I’m sure others with more experience can give more...

    DJI Fly/MA2 will have a major update in Q3

    The ANDROID issue is important. I use my iPhone and iPad to fly, but I really want a Fly app for my Smart Controller which is ANDROID of course. I hope a fully functional SC version is released soon.

    MA2 and Smart Controller

    We are now almost 3 weeks past the release of the MA2 and no update for the SC. I know they need a new update to the Fly app, but why weren’t they working on that earlier?

    Batteries slightly swollen after charge

    I have 3 batteries for my Air 1 that are swollen. 2 are bad enough I don’t want to use them. All are 2 years old or less.

    MA2 and Smart Controller

    Has anyone heard any more from DJI about the firmware update for the SC? Last I heard was 2 weeks after the MA2 release. No mention at all on the DJI web site.

    LAANC vs geofencing while in Class B controlled airspace

    If you connected your iPad mini to your iPhone's hotspot would that allow you to unlock using the iPad?

    LAANC and Geo Fencing

    If I get clearance to fly in a control zone using the new LAANC system, how do I override DJI's Geo Fencing in my Mavic Air? After posting this question I found some good information on this forum. Any tips would be appreciated.

    SD Card Speed

    Sorry, I have a SanDisk Extreme Plus 64GB U3. It's such a pain to get the card out of the Air I didn't look at it yesterday. I still think the write speed is not fast enough. I use a Mac Pro for editing and playback and I see jumpy video like there are dropouts while the recording is being made...

    SD Card Speed

    What SD cards are others using. I have a SanDisk Ultra U3 card. I see that it is only able to write at 90mbs. I am getting jumpy video at 4k. I see others that can write at 100mbs and above, but someone said you can't get those speeds because they require a UHS-II bus and the DJI bus is only...
