    Problem with MA2 and new 1.2.0 update

    Since it's Android and I have no experience in using that with the MA 2, I can't advise you on downgrading to an older version on your phone (or tablet?). Maybe someone here has done comprehensive testing and has an opinion based upon empirical data. I had an Android phone before getting the...

    Problem with MA2 and new 1.2.0 update

    I'm afraid I might have mislead you since my answer pertains to the iOS program and now I'm thinking you have asked about the Android version. Maybe they have the same menus in the DJI Fly program or maybe there are some differences. I don't know.

    Problem with MA2 and new 1.2.0 update

    Hook up the phone to your controller and the drone. Hit the three little dots, ... in the upper corner which takes you to settings. Hit "about" and you will see all your versions. Click the "check for updates" to see if there are any for you.

    Problem with MA2 and new 1.2.0 update

    OK, Changed the battery to a fresh one and the update went fine. Now the Aircraft Firmware says 01.00.0460. After the final, I hope, update I launched and took the MA 2 out past the previous test point and to just over 4,000 feet away before it lost signal (as I said earlier, lotsa trees between...

    Problem with MA2 and new 1.2.0 update

    Glad you asked. Turns out that maybe not everything was updated. The "Flysafe Database" is 01.00.0340. Aircraft firmware is 01.00.0340. RC Firmware is 02.00.1101. When I clicked again on the "check for updates" for the Aircraft Firmware it said an update is available. It says my FlySafe...

    Problem with MA2 and new 1.2.0 update

    It is a nice, clear, calm day here in the Sacramento area, so I decided to do a distance test. The MA2 went more than 3000' away, past where it had been losing signal in the past and performed flawlessly. Lotsa trees between me and the drone so I didn't try to go further. That is enough for...

    Problem with MA2 and new 1.2.0 update

    After reading all the above posts, I downloaded the latest updates of DJI Fly onto my iPad and iPhone anyway. Version 1.2. Connected the MA2 and it was responsive to the sticks' input but no image on the screen from the camera. Went into settings and found the "reset camera" command. Did that...

    Mavic Air 2 serial number locations

    Right. Those are 3 places you can find the serial number. But the OP asked where "on the drone" you could find it. Because he needed a camera shot of the serial number on the drone, I believe, to activate his insurance.

    Mavic Air 2 serial number locations

    The only place on the drone that I could find one is beside the QR code. It's 2 lines of text but, put together, it's the serial number. I verified this with DJI Care by looking at the serial number they used when I first got the drone and comparing that one with the one on the drone.

    Updated mavic mini firmware Dec. 5th, now controller and drone won't pair

    I just helped a friend who was having a similar problem and we got it fixed by clearing the cache and starting over. He was switching over to a new phone. I think the card or the cache or maybe both retained some info not compatible with a previous phone he was trying to use. Perhaps the same...
