What is the latest successful FW update mumber and latest successful AC update?

Meta 4 stated If you want to calibrate the compass in your smart controller, it's the smart controller that must be rotated. Meta 4, Educate me, I've never heard of or read about the SC having a Compass!

The Smart Controller stays with the Drone Operator vs the Drone that feels the effects of what is causing the requirement to recalibrate the Drones Compass. I've recalibrated my Mavic 2 Pro over 30 plus times from up at 8,000' ASL in the Rocky Mountains to basically at Sea Level in the SF Bay...

I'm really sorry about what happened to you as it's always my biggest fear! Years ago I lost my new at the time P4 due to a tree top encounter! Just the day before I had received a Marco Polo Locater that sends out it's own signal without internet and without reading the instructions I tie...

I highly recommend the Marco Polo as it does not need the internet or cellular service. I have successfully used it to recover one of my drones years ago! I won't fly a drone without it!!!

Make sure your takeoffs are vertical per the manual. If you lift off and transition right into horizontal flight you'll find inaccurate Landings.

To the best of my knowledge most everything is either the same or can be upgraded with Firmware upgrades such as the lack of precision landing on the first released!. When the M2P was first released it wasn't included until later Firmware upgrades. I'd be hesitant in upgrading to the very latest...

This last July I bought a new Mavic 2 Pro with a Smart Controller from Amazon Prime. Right from the first flight the Aircraft flew beautifully but I had Smart Controller problems! After 3 weeks of Smart Controller problems I returned the whole Assembly back to Amazon and bought another new Mavic...

Back when I was an FAA Designated Examiner when I Issued a new Certificate to a person who had successfully passed the Oral and Practical Exam I'd explain that it is the law to "present" their new FAA Certificate when asked by a Law Enforcement Officer. I'd also explain that the law stated that...

I've bought 8 DJI Drones from Amazon and only had one bad M2P Smart Controller so I returned it in less than a month and bought another M2P with SC, which was one of the 8 purchased. I did buy a Z3 Lens for my Inspire 1v2 and Parts direct from DJI. I've always had great service and competitive...

I hope I'm still breathing when this happens! I also predict that DJI and other vendors will adopt the next generation of battery tech (faster-charging, non-burning, solid electrolyte batts) which could allow 45-60 min. flight time with the same size and weight of today's LiPo batts!

Thanks for your reply. I actually did the first update that corrected the spot-on landings but in reading what you and others have experienced I'm not in any hurry to upgrade to 510. The only occasional item that bugs me are the DJI GO 4 App disconnects but it always reconnects fast and that...

As soon as they release the Smart Controller for my P4PV2.0 and this tariff is over I'm going to buy another one. My 2nd SC for my M2P has been excellent! My 1st SC for my M2P was returned to Amazon as semi-non functioning

Thanks for a great video and ideas for my future flights! I saved this video for future review!!

Has DJI loaded the new FW with ridiculous or overly restrictive conditions?
