    What do you mean by “formatted”?

    Help with Max Height altitude Mavic Pro 2

    Actual height is measured relative to ground level at the take off point. So, if you want to fly up a mountain you have to set the max height (much) higher.

    Compass Calibration

    @sar104: - The link attached to " It works," is dead. Do you have another URL to this webpage? - I want to compliment you for your clear and accurate article "A short explanation of compass function, calibration and errors". And also for your experiment with a disturbing magnetic field: "Compass...

    Best Settings for Tight Locations

    From 01-01-2021 there are new rules for flying with drones in the whole of Europe. The rules are rather complicated, but if you want to fly from balconies in cities (and probably also over people which are not part of your 'crew') the Maximum Take-Off Weight of your drone has to be less than 250...

    DJI Claims Mavic Air 2 will no longer ascend on RTH

    I think ‘distance’ should be ‘horizontal distance’. Once I had my M2P at about 30 m AGL and 3m horizontal distance, did RTH and it landed straight away.

    New Firmware V 01.00.0860

    After connecting my SC to my (Windows 10) desktop and before I could start DJI Assistant 2 for Mavic, the SC screen showed a message that new firmware was available. I agreed to download it. The download went smoothly and permission to install the update was asked - and granted. It was executed...

    Smart Controller FW Update

    Just to record how I 'solved' my problem: Due to health problems I left it alone for 8 months. At December 19th I decided to try again to update de firmware of my SC via Wifi (the only option because I couldn't find any way to connect the SC to my desktop PC) and this time, with only one restart...

    No image on smart controller

    As you can see from my entry #29, my M2P does have this problem.

    Smart Controller FW Update

    I know the rm500 is the SC. It doesn't matter whether I put the USB-connection in Charge-mode or MTP-mode. In either case DJI Assistant 2 for Mavic doesn't see the SC. In Charge-mode the SC doesn't even turn up in Windows Device Manager and that means (imho) that no Windows application (or...

    Smart Controller FW Update

    Thanks for the information. It says: " A Smart Controller with a firmware version of v01.00.04.75 or earlier must be updated using DJI Assistant 2." My SC has firmware version V01.00.0700.

    Smart Controller FW Update

    Ok, thanks for all your help. I installed DJI Assistant 2 for Mavic V.2.0.14. I succeeded in switching-on Developers Mode in the SC. In the SC under Developer Options I switched on " USB debugging" and under "Select USB Configuration" I switched-on "MTP (Media transfer Protocol)". Now when I...

    Smart Controller FW Update

    It is not mentioned in the release note (attached) and my SC won't connect over USB.

    Smart Controller FW Update

    At my SC there is no Developer mode (or I cannot find it).

    Smart Controller FW Update

    Actually, I use version 2.0.12. I wasn't aware of a newer version, but will try it. My USB-ports are ok with other devices so I don't think the problem lies there. And indeed, the USB stays in charge-mode and the SC doesn't turn up in Device Manager. So I have no other options than using Wifi...

    Smart Controller FW Update

    For some ore other reason my SC won't connect to my PC (W10 Proff). So I try to update the FW of the SC (to version V01.00.0820) via Wifi (at my home). But I got infinitive messages "Note Network Error - Download Stopped". After that you can touch the buttons "OK" and "Continue Download", but...
