    Excited about new SC2?

    As cool as the M3 sounds, I won't upgrade from my M2Z /Mini2 anytime soon. So the original smart controller will continue to serve my needs!

    DJI Smart Controller really as bad as its reputation?

    Love it for my M2Z. I recently picked up a Mini 2 that doesn't support it... I hate having to use my cell with the controller. There's a ~1 second delay that isn't there with the SC, takes a bit to get used to.

    Need the dji Mini 2 on the smart controller

    I wish DJI would hurry and get on this! It's a shame they don't prioritize compatibility with their own systems

    State Farm Drone Insurance

    SF will not touch it if you say it is for commercial use. But they don't check up on anything, or even track serial numbers.

    State Farm Drone Insurance

    I have this policy from state farm, but my house insurance is through them as well. I used it just the other day-- I had crashed and sent it off to DJI who quoted the repair at $99. I sent that quote to SF, and they paid the claim. I probably shouldn't have done it, in case I have to make...

    FAA Drone ID Proposal:

    Oof. I hadn't looked into prices since I don't own or operate, but that sucks.

    FAA Drone ID Proposal:

    I am not in favor of the proposal as written. There are some good points and bad, but the internet requirement is simply unrealistic. In the US we are not to the point of ubiquitous internet; not to mention home-built quads that don't even have the ability to connect to an internet-connected...

    Should I buy the Pro 2 with or without the Smart Controller?

    Fair enough, there's lots of variables to consider. I've been surprised that I haven't really needed to download maps all the often, and I don't do missions. VLOS only for the mavic, although I do enjoy my hobby FPV builds :)

    Should I buy the Pro 2 with or without the Smart Controller?

    I'm very happy with my decision to get a Smart Controller. Turn on the SC, turn on the AC, Go Fly. No worrying about connecting a device and the troubles that come along with that.

    Apache 3800 case from Harbor Freight. $30 after coupon! Mavic 2 Zoom Smart Controller Extra Battery Chargers Props / Manuals The pick-apart foam is not ideal, but can be replaced when it eventually falls apart.

    one controller operates drone one phone operates camera

    I wish DJI would add this feature. The SmartController has a USB port that would be perfect for connecting a phone for use as camera control!

    Hello FAA (or Nat'l Equalivent) or . . . Confessions Are Good For The Soul

    Regarding the bolded portion.. I disagree. Unless you are just memorizing the questions/answers (which I do realize many people do), a pilot who has passed the 107 test indeed has more knowledge than a recreational pilot that has never looked into the rules. For instance: Can a rec. pilot...
