    How often should you format micro SD card

    Hmmm... My M2P has a 64 GB card. It’s got about 2,000 images in the Media 100 and 101 folders. And barely 2 GB used out of 64. A couple years ago I emptied it; maybe I’ll do that again in a couple more.

    Smart Remote Controller or Basic Controller / Fly More Combo

    Bought SC last spring in anticipation of it being compatible with MA2 so I could carry only one controller with my M2P and MA2. It took a while, but it’s a great solution. I had been using CS 5.5’ with M2P as well as MP, MA. Easy to mount on the DJI bracket, and long battery life, and not having...

    MASTER AIRSCREW messing up.

    I had a poor quality problem with them. I got pumped up about their products and ordered up a couple sets for both MA and M2P. I sent the following email to them, and got no reply. This should speak for itself: MA, Regarding severe vibration with Master Airscrew props on Mavic 2 Pro. My Mavic...

    Can someone please explain Remote ID Rules to me

    I think the RID features of both M2P and MA2 indicate these aircraft are ready to comply. Here's pictures of both, on DJI Go4 and DJI Fly. There are switches on and off, and there are fill-in spaces for user ID and for flight info. It's not clear how these will or may be used. So far that is.

    Low Satellite Fix Count on Smart Controller

    Finally heard back from DJI Support. They had my SC for a week, and reported back: "NFF: Acquired satellite signal normally." This in spite of my side by side photos of SC with 3 fixes and CS with 9. I'm done beating my head against this wall. The SC is still an exemplary flight tool, so I'll...

    Low Satellite Fix Count on Smart Controller

    Same problem here. I finally sent this photo to DJI. I loaded ‘GPS Status & Toolbox’ on both my SC and a 5.5” CrystalSky. Side by side, the SC way underperforms the CS: three fixes to nine. I finally figured out this was a problem, and started dialogue with Support three months after purchase...

    Low Satellite Fix Count on Smart Controller

    Me too. SC and GPS. I’m always careful to see the GPS blue dot on the map and the yellow ‘H’ when lifting off. (It took me a couple of the steps below to get it through my noggin that the blue dot is GPS of the controller and the yellow H is home point of the aircraft’s GPS take off location.)...

    Platinum props on Mavic Pro?

    Me too. I took a few flights with the quiet props, then quit them for good. I sent the bird out across the harbor on a cold windy day. Wind at my back and sun in my eyes. In a hasty return the sun blinded me to the MP and the wind drowned out the sound. With the noisy props I could have located...
