    How to access the drone update log?

    I usually wait about 6 months to make sure any bugs have been ironed out.

    How to access the drone update log?

    Hi Yorkshire_Pud. Thanks for your reply. I've used Airdata a little so am somewhat familiar with that site. Didn't know about the firmware info. I've got about 700 flights so it would be a bit tedious, unfortunately, and i don't have a NOT FLY app drone. But really appreciate your suggestions!

    How to access the drone update log?

    I have a Smart Controller and a Mavic 2 Pro. I need to find out the dates that I upgraded the drone firmware. I've seen a video on how to do that if I was using my IOS phone, but can't find any information on how to do it when using a Smart Controller. Does anyone know how to access that...

    risking Looking Silly here But.....Does Anyone Else Name their Drones

    Am I the only one that's called mine Wally, from "Where's Wally"? However, Wally crashed into a tree and fell down dead so now I have Wally 2!

    Power up Controller or drone first

    I used to always start the RC first and then drone, but now that the DJI Smart Controller can be used for multiple types of drones, I find I have to turn the drone on first. Turning the RC on first means I have to go through the whole process of selecting the type of drone and then relinking...

    Is anyone else having Smart Controller map orientation issues?

    As I highlighted at the top of this thread, I had issues originally. But I was so in love with being able to actually see where the drone was flying as opposed to using my phone, that I stuck with the SC despite the orientation issues. Somewhere along the way it resolved itself, because I don't...

    Portable quick charger for DJI Smart Controller

    Hi ff22. Thanks so much for your reply. After much deliberation I came to the same conclusion as yourself. So I ended up buying the RAVPower 20,100mAh USB-C portable charger and it charged the smart controller in the same time as the DJI supplied AC charger does so I was very pleased. It also...

    Portable quick charger for DJI Smart Controller

    I'm in Australia and need a portable quick charger for my DJI Smart Controller. I see on a DJI Forum thread (Quick Charging Smart Controller off of Portable Charger) that someone used a Pocket Juice quick charger, but seems like the Pocket Juice is not available in Australia. I found specs on...

    How can I access flight data on Mavic 2 Pro using Assistant 2?

    Thanks, msinger, for your reply. That's a shame because I now have my commerical UAV license and wanted to get my DroneLogBook accurate. The factory reset of the DJI Smart Controller happened in April and I have carried out a lot of flights since then, yet when I go into Flight Records on the SC...

    How can I access flight data on Mavic 2 Pro using Assistant 2?

    I bought my Mavic 2 Pro in January this year but lost all the flight data on my remote controller due to needing to do a factory reset to solve an issue. How can I access the flight data on the Mavic 2 Pro itself using Assistant 2? I know it's encrypted but AirData can read those files. Can...

    DJI smart controller; my opinion

    I purchased a DJI Smart Controller with my Mavic 2 Pro and love it's brightness and convenience. However, I'm very disappointed with its inaccurate orientation of the map. When I callibrate the SC compass its orientation is frequently up to 20 to 25 degrees out. Then when I rotate the SC, it's...

    What are your thoughts about the new DJI #SmartController that listed a steep $649.00 dollars? #

    I had a Mavic Air and used my iPhone 5s with it; I was always saying to my wife "I can't see the screen!" It really limited how close I could get to objects. I bought the SC with a M2P and absolutely love both! The SC is so clear, even in bright sunshine, it's solidly built and is so quick and...

    Was it High Wind That Caused This Drone Drowning?

    Thanks. Yes, sar104 and BudWalker were very helpful. Initially it was just me trying to get justice and I may not have persisted alone, but when I got their feedback it gave me confidence that what I believed was right and so I pressed on.

    Was it High Wind That Caused This Drone Drowning?

    Hi sar104 I realised you probably wouldn't see my above message becasue I didn't send it in a reply so here it is now. I had my VCAT case on Wednesday (it was to be December 3 but got adjourned to January 9) in which I claimed a full refund for my Mavic Air due to 1) the IMUs malfunctioning...
