    MA2 won't go an further than 50m and max altitude is 30m

    You may rename it in whatever you want but it cannot be empty. For me it was not possible to simply put a name in that field and save it. It wouldn't remember the setting. After the firmware reload it remembered the setting. No need to connect the remote when using the dji Assistant 2. In my...

    MA2 won't go an further than 50m and max altitude is 30m

    Here are some screen shots to guide you to the ID: "Mavic Air2" appears automatically on my settings. If this field stays empty you get limited flight distance. For me it was not posible to edit this field manually when the issue presented itself. It didn't save the value correctly. You will...

    MA2 won't go an further than 50m and max altitude is 30m

    Here is what I found out and how the issue got solved (so far) on my MA2: It all began with the update of the drone to 01.01.0610. As usual I have installed over the air and the process ended without any errors. I cycled through the two extra batteries and was a little surprised that this time...

    MA2 won't go an further than 50m and max altitude is 30m

    Thanks for your reply Mavics Rule. I am living in Belgium (EU) so the FAA rules don't apply over here ;-) Since the firmware update there is someting not right with the ID settings. This seems to be mandatory (something needs to be in that field, even if it's generic like "mavic air 2). I...

    Air 2 ijzervlakte

    Hi K-Castello, Echt mooie foto! :) I would like to support this by adding another "Belgian" drone picture from exactly one month ago. This was more to the South-East of the one you have taken ;-)

    MA2 won't go an further than 50m and max altitude is 30m

    Hi Meta4, I am experiencing the limitation after the latest firmware update. The MA2 won't go an further than 50m and max altitude is 30m. I am sure not to have set any "beginners mode" in the Fly software. When hitting the distance limit there was no extra information but going up to the 30m...

    4K non-playible

    I have been using VLC for many years now but it seems to let me down when I try to play 4K 60fps H.265 content of the Mavic Air 2. Video sutters on all the computers that I own (older Windows 7 and more recent i7 running Windows 10). This is for me the best, most stable solution that works on...

    Does the Smart Controller Have "Find My Drone" location feature incase of an unexpected loss or crash?

    I have the MA2 and the SC with the latest firmware (v01.00.0820) connected to each other. When starting the DJI Fly app you can see the option "Profile". This is the third option on the bottom right of the screen. Tab that option and you'll find the "Find my drone" on the next screen. I didn't...

    DJI Fly version 1.1.8 for iOS available on US App Store.

    Thanks for your post Bob! I was able to install the update just a minute ago. Hope to be able to give it a try during the weekend. Cheers from Belgium, Frederic.

    Anyone else have this issue? (Smart controller no video feed from drone)

    I experience the video feed not coming up from time to time when I start the drone and the smart controller. Usually after a drone reboot it works fine. I have tried to solve the issue by killing the APP on the smart controller but that didn't work for me. A reboot of the smart controller works...

    What is a good editing software for Windows?

    I use DaVinci Resolve. Free version is great! If you like it you can upgrade to the Studio version for $ 300. That seems a more than fair price for such a nice program. A powerful computer is recommended.

    Greetings from a new pilot in Belgium

    Welcome to the forum from the also extremely sunny Belgium :D So bad that we are not allowed to go out for the moment because of the COVID19. Maybe it was just a bit too windy the last couple of days to fly. I live in the Brussels area but never fly here. From what part of Belgium are you?

    Smart Controller update V01.00.0650

    I tried many times to update the Smart Controller via a couple of computers and Assistant 2 but it didn't work. I tried a fresh Windows installation and only Assistant 2 installed just to make sure that there was no other software getting in the way but still no success. So I gave up on that...

    SC software version 1.00.0650

    I have just upgraded the smart controller from version 01.00.0530 to the newest 1.00.0650 via my home WiFi internet connection. Download and installation succeeded at the first attempt and without any problems. There was no computer involved. On my previous attempt some time ago when trying to...
