How do I control it with goggles, or does the small RC hook to them vs my phone? That would still be another piece of gear to carry...and I've always wondered, how do people meet the VLOS rule with goggles? I have worn a secondary pair of goggles when someone was racing - crazy and cool!

I don't know if it is smart or not, just wanted a controller with the integrated screen so I don't have to use my phone. If that doesn't exist, blah! :(

Not sure if I post "looking for" here or not. Let me know if not and I can move. I'm tired of hooking my phone up to the phone based controller and would love to just pull out the single item to control my ORIGINAL Mavic Pro. Does anyone have one for sale, or know a good place to look for...

that's a super bummer b/c I'd buy this if it worked with my original mavic pro :(

Not really...the world needs to not bow to the CCP.

Tariffs are really economy vs political, but because EVERYTHING is now seen through the eyes of people's political viewpoints, reality of that is getting lost. I don't think Trump is trying to do anything political with tariffs (at least not locally), but he is trying to get a much more level...

thanks for info; that sounds unfortunate

wouldn't most of the Mavic pro series be able to do that?

I have four batteries - none that have really had many charges to them - on an original Mavic Pro. One of the batteries, bought new online a couple of years ago, simply will not charge anymore. No lights, nothing. Is there a way to potentially "reset" the battery? There is no way it has been...

This reminds me of the episode on Skinwalker Ranch where they did a drone flight and some of their drones fell out of formation and started going wonky. Said it had never happened before, and didn't know the cause. Knowing the cause of this would be very helpful - of course we won't hear that...

this is "political" - I said something similar about the fed admin and got called out privately. But to actually respond - with their "tilt" this comment really doesn't make sense.

well, this kind of answer "how" they do it. I wasn't comparing anything, just knew that you can transmit through a lot of solid objects from a normal transmitter and expect such a solid signal. thanks

I often wonder how they maintain solid connection inside buildings with multiple walls and metal things in between pilot and drone.
