    Any good flying spots in Carlsbad/San Diego?

    At top of hill on Hosp Way there is a grove of Eucalyptus trees and walking trails. You can launch from the north most edge of the park and get some wonderful views.

    Cliff house

    I thought your pictures looked great. Thanks for sharing photos of my favorite city, which I haven’t been able to visit recently. Used to live near the Presidio. Missing it.

    Smart controller update — just don’t bother?

    All of the recent posts I’ve read about the smart controller update seemed indicate nothing but problems. I’m using mine with MP2, and have no problems with prior firmware. Is there any reason I can’t just continue to dismiss the update message and ignore the new firmware? I have no intention to...

    Screen sides black

    I have a smart controller and mine does this when I switch between video and photo mode. Video shows full screen and photo leaves black borders on the left and right.

    Battery Swelling Topic - Mavic 2

    I have been flying my MA2 every evening and where I live it is routinely near 100° when the sun goes down. So far none of my batteries experienced a problem. Although I’m concerned about the heat, it does not seem to of caused any issues.

    Smart Controller Auto Startup -with charger?

    Auto focus problem

    Thank you Chris. It sounds like I have inadvertently selected AF single ... so it's in focus when on the ground but after take off it doesn't adjust. I'll check that out! So helpful ... I really appreciate your help. Best regards, Bruce

    Auto focus problem

    Images appear in focus while on the ground but immediately after takeoff they go out of focus. Auto focus is selected on takeoff. Can solve by selecting manual focus, set the distance to infinity, then return setting to auto focus. Will remain in focus for the duration of the flight. This...

    Linking

    I have Had similar issues, but seem to have resolved them by always powering up the drone first, and waiting at least 15 to 30 seconds before I power up the controller.

    Black Screen Mavic 2 Zoom no video

    I had a similar issue. Try turning on the drone first and waiting about 30 to 60 seconds before you turn on your controller. I always power them in this sequence, and that has resolved the problem.

    No Camara video

    I do exactly the opposite. ? Turn on the drone first and make sure that it completes its full start up process before I turn on the smart controller. I had the same issue until I changed my start up process to drone first. After that all has been fine.

    Smart controller apps.

    sorry for dumb question ... how do you download new apps to Smart Conroller? I live in a MacOS and iOS world so have no experience with Android based devices. I didn't see Google Play on there as an option out of the box.

    No image on smart controller

    That worked Paul. Thought I had tried every combination of power on/off but I guess not! Thanks so much. ?
