LOL How am I supposed to update my firmware outside? Will this work on the Smart Controller or just with a cellphone? It's all insane. We should tar and feather the people that came up with this RID nonsense.

If it works with the Mavic 2 zoom, will it work with the Mavic 2 Pro?

Mavic 2 Pro batteries appear dead. I put my drone away and just havent touched it for 6 mos or more. I know... I charged one of the batteries all the way and put it in the drone. Hit the button, but the green light only stayed on for a few seconds. Tried it with another battery, same thing...

How do you show direction of flight?

I was checking the altitude of an image in the file info section in Photoshop CC and it showed 178 m. Thats 583 ft. I know I wasnt that high. Any thoughts?

When I put in my smart controller serial # and it didnt work, DJI tech finally told me its the flight controller serisl #. Why have two different #s for the same device? I never did get my Mavic unlocked on site.

I was in a blue zone near IAD. It's restricted so I needed auth from there. Then I got the auth code from DJI. Dji said to do the preflight part at home if you might not have internet onsite. So I did that. Went thru what I thought was an easy procedure following DJI instructions. Did it several...

I got my clearence from the local airport. Got the OK from DJI for the flight. Followed the directions to do download the cert to my smart controller at home since I probably wouldnt have a connection in the field. Got to the site, turn it all on, followed the instructions, which suck, to upload...

I fully charged my SC. Tried to update the firmware, but the battery dies before it updates, even though its pluged into the computer. WTH???? I had sent the SC to DJI to check the batterybut they said it was fine.

No rotating parts? What do they consider the props?

Amazing!

Do the new rules say who will be able to locate the pilot? If any person can find the drone operator, I see the potential for harrassment and theft of equipment.

The SC is very bright so you can see it in intense light situations. Ipads are that bright. I put a 7 inch high brightness video screen on a bracker above the SC so I can see exactly what the camera sees without all the flight info. See Thors drone world for the brackets. They have screens but...

Do the Autel Evo series drones have Geo Fencing?

I sent my SC in for reapir because it just would not charge to 100% and would drain too fast. I have attached a pic of what was repaired but I can figure out what it is. Any thoughts?
