    Moverie BT-300 on mavic 2. Compatible?

    Yeah, I find it unfortunate that questions on amazon receive a large amount of replies that are either not helpful, not answering the specific question or are just incorrect. Luckily, these forums are markedly better in accuracy, although not without error, as well. (These days, every single...

    Mavic 2 height limit reached

    Plus 1 for checking if your logged in to DJI server on the device your using, as well as activated. Although if your able to check for updates via Go4, then your probably good to go there. If its not the above, then one of the other two possibilities already mentioned is most likely your case...

    DJI Mavic Mini Bundle - Costco $369

    I just want to note, for those that dont know already, that this purchase requires a costco membership, which is $60/yr. FYI Sweet deal if your a member, maybe even if your not, if your going to use the membership beyond this purchase?

    Successful Rooting of Rm500 (also known as the smart controller)

    Ahh,, so rooting the SC is more about controlling when and what its running in the background, so as to avoid over burdening it during flight (when its critical to keep Go4 up n running). I guess I thought, initially, that you were wanting to root it so you could load it up with all the apps we...

    Wait What did I just hear?

    Id also ask if theyre interested to see what the actual view from that altitude is with the Mavics. I think some have seen too many movies and think these drones have military 'reaper' like magnification, which we know they do not! Hopefully then, theyd see that a spy tool it is not. Now the...

    Successful Rooting of Rm500 (also known as the smart controller)

    So I want to ask you guys since you seem fairly experienced in the rooting of android in general as well as flashing custom sw. I went as far as to install google play on my SC, but after trying to use a few apps, I find that they run like crap. In your opinions, even if rooted, dont you...

    Max distance

    I truly know the feeling!

    Max distance

    Strange, but Im very glad that your not experiencing the Goggles range issue, that many of us faced! I still think DJI needs to go "back to the basics" (ie: not basic at all) and refine their occusync rf interference algorithms. I just cant dismiss the fact that the only flights I had where my...

    Battery times charged reset

    Im sorry I dont have anything super helpful at this time but I would like to add a few things. First, could you fill me in on what the "SP" mod is? Regarding your battery counter situation, have you ever seen the counters reporting above 70? Is the 150 number a guesstimate based on your...

    Max distance

    Obstructions arent much of an issue, unless were talking about a large solid obstruction (ie: building or mountain/hill). What your dealing with is likely the ever frustrating Goggles/M2 range issue, Id guess, which affects Mavic 2 with either set of Goggles (and is the reason, (also a guess)...

    Dedicated phone for flying the mini

    No active internet required however make sure you cache your map of the location, while you have internet. Also, if this is your first time out, be sure to get logged in on Fly app, or youll be height and distance limited. If youve been out before your probably already logged in and your...

    Why do i get 5.8 Ghz (ONLY)

    Oh crap. Please forgive me, I just realized that I was confusing the 5Ghz standard WIFI with the 5.8Ghz you guys are talking about. Wow. Im going to delete my last post.

    Why do i get 5.8 Ghz (ONLY)

    Oh... well learn something new every day. I didnt realize they spaced the 5.8Ghz channels that wide. Good on them! Forgive my possible misunderstanding here. I get what your saying about the channel spacing preventing traffic cross-over (ie: interference) like on 2.4G, but what about channel...

    Why do i get 5.8 Ghz (ONLY)

    YET... Hopefully for several years still, but its only a matter of time right!

    M2 Pro Drone only no controller or charger

    They do, but Im not sure if the 30% off would apply for the AC only? Youd have to ask DJI about that one... Good news though, now you can let a friend fly using dual controller mode. Or if you have one Smart Controller, you can use the SC to HDMI to a big screen, which is fun!
