    Smart Controller lost connection to Mavic 2 Pro

    Who knows. I mostly fly M3s now. Enterprise and consumer. They never ask for calibration and I travel a hundred miles often. The Phantoms 3 and 4s that I used to use a lot never did either. But the M2 is an attention hog. Maybe it's just the one I have.

    Smart Controller lost connection to Mavic 2 Pro

    My Mavic 2 Pro also is a "Calibrate my Compass" queen. None of the other drones ever ask. If I remember correctly, it is a "feature" of the firmware because DJI was having issues in the Inspire 2, I think..maybe. Maybe others with the M2s don't have this issue, I don't know. Mine certainly...

    Does DJI Fly Safe no longer work?

    DJI no longer has geofencing in the US. No unlocks to worry about with DJI. To fly in an area covered by LAANC, I use Aloft Air Control. Either on desktop, or mobile app. You need a free account. https://www.aloft.ai/feature/laanc/

    Smart Controller lost connection to Mavic 2 Pro

    Was it on an autonomous mission? You said it just stopped, but then you said you could control it is why I ask. It obviously did not loose control, only video downlink. Can you power it on now and everything is normal or no video feed?

    NO LONGER NEEDED! Looking for a Mini 3 Pro-Lost Mine!

    If you have a plan, it is still in effect. The issue is that US customs won't let DJI bring your replacement into the country if they don't have any stock available in the country. Talk to your federal reps. But good luck with that. If you can provide a Canadian shipping address, and someone...

    Well, that's too bad. Sorry to send you in that direction. Good Luck with the search.

    Getting Service on Mavic 4 Pro in US

    Not sure where you've been. But it's pretty common knowledge by now that DJI would like nothing better than to provide you with service. You need to talk to your gov't to see why they won't let DJI provide that service. I suspect that if you are unhappy with your purchase of an M4P that sort...

    UPS Lost My Drone

    Same. In fact, usually, I see the phrase used by the person themselves after complaining about something that they know is more of nuisance than a serious issue. "and is also used to acknowledge gratefulness for not having worse problems, such as those in the Second or Third Worlds"

    Why is it so hard to make a thermal drone?

    You certainly could do it. You just need the camera, video transmitter, and a power source on the M3. Then a video receiver and screen of your choice at your ground station. Go for it!

    UPS Lost My Drone

    You are lucky that DJI must still have A3S stock in Texas. If it needed to come from stock out of the country, DJI would be willing, but US customs, not so much. My UPS delivery also made it today. Nothing as fun as an A3S though!

    UPS Lost My Drone

    These days, everything is scanned at every point from check-in, truck load, truck unload, etc, with all movement carried out by GPS tracked vehicles. Yet, packages "disappear" from their system only to "reappear" a few days later. I have had this personally with all 3; UPS, FedEx, and USPS...

    DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise Stolen

    That is true. But I have used the site for years and have never seen the pop-up shown for the alleged stolen serial #. So, even though the message doesn't say it is stolen. It certainly is not "normal". And we all know that pop-ups and error messages in general often do not tell you what a...
