Exactly what he said! Plus, the new controller is much more balanced and doesn't feel like a toy in one's hands. Quite honestly, I wouldn't have bought the MA2 without the new controller... it's one of the biggest reasons to make the move!

I would never purchase such an inessential item without my wife knowing beforehand... but, I guess that's just me.

No anxiety whatsoever...for me, if I can't trust my drone to fly over water, I can't trust it over land either. However, I've flown drones for years and RC helicopters and planes for 20 years prior to that. If you don't have a lot of air time, I guess I can see how someone might have "anxiety "...

The greater the contrasting sections and bright colors seem to work best for me. As repeated previously, rise slowly to 25 feet, then I add a complete very slow 360 degree pivot. Mine never misses an RTH.

I would try another cable

You'll only do it once ?

Gutsy! Glad to see it worked out! ?

The only spec that matters is that the card be U3 rated. And, I absolutely don't use a card any larger than 64gb. I previously owned a drone Yuneec) on which had many many missions of video stored... and pressed my luck. Due to time constraints and job, I had not taken the time to offload over...

Good battery maintenance with ANY system using multiple packs dictates we should use all packs equally. I've always made a habit of logging the flight time of each pack and rotating them to keep charge and discharge times as near the same as possible (especially when using non-smart batteries)...

Thanks to you all... info much appreciated. That's pretty the much what I presumed to be the case with Litchi. Like so many others, we'll just have to wait and see ?

Hello fellow Mavic flyers... First, please bear with the length of this post. I only recently bailed from my Yuneec Typhoon H and converted to DJI and the Mavic Air 2. As a real estate photographer and now retired RV traveler, I realized I MUST change platforms as the footprint of the H took...

For those like me who don't wish to pay an arm and a leg for an 8 inch tablet for your MA2 (or other), or those like me who simply refuse to buy Apple, I i bought a refurbished ASUS Zenpad Z8 (ZT582KL) from Amazon for $149. This is a 64 bit CPU, 3gb RAM tablet, and works fantastically smooth...

Just read this and so happens I just bought a brand new Asus Zenpad 8 (ZT582KL). I'm also having the same experience with it not connecting to the DJI Fly app. I'm using the Fly More cable that came with it, which works great on my Note 8 phone. Anyway, I have a ne longer cable ordered from...
