    Transfer Waypoints from Smart Controller to RC2?

    I hadn’t considered that. Good idea!

    Transfer Waypoints from Smart Controller to RC2?

    I split my time between my Portugal and Florida home. I’m returning to Portugal next week where I left my M2P and Smart Controller. Because of the new EASA regulations, I’ll order the Air 3 and RC2 from Amazon.es. I have saved a few waypoint flights from my condo under construction onto my...

    Transfer Waypoints from Smart Controller to RC2?

    I‘m moving to Portugal, and because of the new 2024 EASA (EU) rules, my Mavic 2 Pro is considered to be a “Legacy” drone and is VERY restricted. I’ll be ordering an Air 3 from Amazon.es (Spain). Is it possible to transfer my M2P waypoint flights recorded on my Smart Controller to my new RC2...

    Camera inop on my M2P/Smart Controller

    Thanks everyone for all the great advice. I’ve started up about half a dozen times today and the only thing I’ve done differently is wait about 10-15 seconds after the M2P is fully booted before powering on the SC. So far, that’s worked every time.

    Camera inop on my M2P/Smart Controller

    Now, it’s intermittent. Camera shows up on screen about one out of every ten times. I haven’t ye3 unpaired from the SC. How do I do that?

    Camera inop on my M2P/Smart Controller

    After not flying for a few weeks, I charged my batteries and my Smart Controller this morning. After turning on the M2P and controller, everything looked normal except the camera didn’t show on the screen. I went through the start up process 3 more times with the same result. It’s as though the...

    Didn’t activate DJI Care Refresh in time. Suggestions?

    I was just getting to ready to provide the same info after talking with DJI support. Thank you! Just takes a few minutes with someone to video the verification process. Now I just have to figure out how to upload the video to DJI. Here’s the Verification Tutorial Instruction. The instructional...

    Didn’t activate DJI Care Refresh in time. Suggestions?

    That’s GREAT advice. Still...I think I remember while doing my due diligence before getting my M2P, on one of these forums, that there are companies that provide insurance on a per flight case during a commercial flight? What’s the consensus on doing that. And which company has the best reputation?

    Didn’t activate DJI Care Refresh in time. Suggestions?

    Just got off the phone with State Farm. I am not currently a client and that is no problem. They will cover my M2P for $75/year UNTIL I get my Part 107 license. They ONLY cover recreational flyers. Once I get my license, how do I cover my drone, especially for total loss? I live on Pensacola...

    Didn’t activate DJI Care Refresh in time. Suggestions?

    I’m brand-new to this. I’m an international airline pilot and I received my M2P the day before I left on a 6-day trip. I flew it for two, very short flights in my back yard, then left home the next day, not realizing that I was supposed to buy DJI Care Refresh within 48 hours AND before...

    Smart Glasses w/regular controller...or just Smart Controller?

    $900. I’ll need some more positive reinforcement before investing that much. Have the BT-300’s been discontinued? Some have said they have been but it appears that Epson is still taking orders.

    Smart Glasses w/regular controller...or just Smart Controller?

    I”m on the Emerald Coast of Florida. The Panhandle. I’m not familiar with the BT-35. I’ll check for YT videos. Do you recommend any specific links?

    Smart Glasses w/regular controller...or just Smart Controller?

    I’m brand new to professional drones. It was a relatively easy decision to covet the M2P. (I don’t have anything yet.) My original plan was to get a bundle from Amazon for around $1,800 and get the DJI VR Goggles. Then I saw some YouTube videos on the Smart Controller. Sold me. Then I saw the...
