    Selling Mavic Pro and the buyer wants the serial before he pays - Sketchy?

    One way would be to call the police department to give them the serial number so they can check the stolen property database for a match. I believe there's places that can be checked online if you have the serial number.

    Selling Mavic Pro and the buyer wants the serial before he pays - Sketchy?

    If I were buying one from someone I don't know, I may want to run the serial numbers to verify it wasn't stolen. However, my response to him would be, "Why don't you just get the serial number off another drone at the store before you buy it? Oh, they don't do that, do they...? I wonder why."

    Smart Controller/Mavic 2 Pro Combo - mission planning

    Would you please enlighten me on what limitations it has? Would it be getting the 84.5 - 90% overlap? Is it compatible with the SC? I just went to DJI's site and the RC indicated that the "Pilot App isn't compatible with my device anymore" That may work nice and I could do that, but...

    Biggiest cons of the smart controller?

No, buying a new battery/having spares would be essential no matter what drone you have since 25-30 minutes is not very long of a flight time. Which drone are you wanting to use...

    Smart Controller/Mavic 2 Pro Combo - mission planning

    Thanks Keule. I've been scouring the DJI's, Pix4D's, and a few others. I find it seriously frustrating to hear someone say "you can use any flight planner software", when theirs isn't compatible & if I could use 'any', then I wouldn't be researching for what their product can do on a Smart...

    Smart Controller/Mavic 2 Pro Combo - mission planning

    Interestingly enough, after getting Google Play installed on the smart controller, I've downloaded Pix4DCapture & Ctrl+DJI. I've been able to make a flight plan in a cumbersome way, but I haven't had the opportunity to test it yet. Has anyone successfully use a 3rd party mission planner on...

    Smart Controller/Mavic 2 Pro Combo - mission planning

    G'day! I've had my license for about 3 months now and I'm in the mapping/aerial photography side for data collection/inspection/mapping. I started out with the standard RC, but the mini USB port broke. I thought it'd make sense to get the Smart Controller to prevent having to go through the...
