Just a follow up, after a few updates. The Mavic 3 is much better. I love the zoom lens for wildlife and aerial pictures of other sky craft. Satellite find is now reasonable. I miss precision landing, though. Forced obstacle avoidance on RTH would be nice too. I was flying in sport mode...

I lost my M2P w/Smart Controller in an electromagnetic mishap and replaced it with the M3, Flymore, RC Pro. I do a lot of roof inspections, agricultural imaging, and residential and commercial real estate shoots. I've done roofs and commercial with the M3 so far. The GPS issues are real...

I keep a few copies of an article written by an attorney called "The Photographer's Right" in my bag. I'll usually ask them to read it. A drone is a flying camera. Most people have a camera on their phone. Are they allowed to take pictures? What if they use a selfie stick or stand on a...

For the rest of you: Please don't feed the troll. Edward 500 - If you have a legitimate issue with law enforcement, you certainly shouldn't be posting it here. If you have some sort of paranoid delusion that the US government is tracking you through dji, I highly question your motives for posting.

Unfortunately, No. It had to go in for service and was replaced with a new unit. I would have expected they could have just re-flashed the device with the initial bootloader and OS install, but that wasn't their solution.

DO NOT password protect your SC. I installed Google Play, and tried to log on using my Google Business account, which wanted password protection. The dji implementation of android does not support the security. I locked myself out of the SC.

Be careful about going to local parks. Many counties have drone ordinances that would prohibit taking off or landing aircraft on park property.

I tried to unlock the controller with a 3rd party android unlocker, but it was not compatible. Then I opened a case with dji, got a shipping label, and sent it in. After 10 business days, they were still 'assessing damage,' so I contacted them again. They sent a message that included 'free'...

I found a nice case on wish, but it has places for 2 additional batteries and the charger.

It worked like a charm, until I logged in with my GSuite account, then it made me put on lock screen security. Apparently the Smart Controller touchscreen doesn't work until after android loads, and android doesn't load until after you unlock the screen. Firmware upgrade/downgrade fails...
