    Smart Controller + Allientech DUO II Modification

    I've had no issues with the QMA extenders. They feel solid to me in the controller. I travel with this controller on shoots around the country and it's had no problems at all. I don't even think twice about them being fragile. There's plenty of space between the LiftThor and the Alientech...

    Alien Tech 2.4 vs 5.8 please help me decide.

    I received a pre-paid return/refund shipping label today from DJI. I plan on waiting until these major bugs are worked out before I try this product again.

    I’m sending it back and getting a refund. I’m not accepting a repair job on a brand new unit. It should have worked out of the box.

    I can get the Smart Controller to download the firmware, but it just won’t get past 0%. Can’t get DJI Assistant 2 to see the Smart Controller on Mac OSX. I’ve tried it on multiple Mac’s. Even tried it on Windows 7. Of course, DJI Assistant 2 is its own bag of mess on Windows 10 now. It has...

    It was purchased from DJI store online last week. They want it returned for repair. And based on this post over at DJI, they are sending out refurbished Smart Controllers (showing physical wear) to those who have issues with brand new controllers. NOTE: this same post also mentions a...

    I'm 100% sure I connected to DJI without issue during the activation of the smart controller via wifi. However, just to verify, I did connect to another wifi access point and the "Updating stuck at 0%" issue persists.

    Just got off the phone with clueless DJI support. They want it sent in for repair. I've had it just over 2 hours now and it's already "broke." Pathetic.
