    It's not if.... It's when!!!

    Nice flying! Very smooth turns and changes in direction flying in Sport Mode while filming. Something new for me to practice.

    Disable sideways movement

    Practice, practice, practice is the answer. Slow easy movements on the stick. I've been flying drones for over two years and still push the wrong stick occasionally when not paying close attention. I would never disable side movements, you might need it. You can change which stick controls which...

    Bad Batteries

    I have over 100 charges on my M2Z batteries. I never store them with a full charge, only charge them the day I am going to use them. I have auto-discharge set at two days, and used that once. I usually land with about 25% remaining battery, but sometimes less. I do not put them back inside of my...

    So I crashed my Mavic 2 into water and it's not working

    How do you know the Motherboard needs to be replaced? How do you know only that needs to be replaced? If you are going to repair the Drone instead of just purchasing a new one, then I would have a professional do the work.

    Idle battery drain.

    Yes, that should is all that is needed.

    Removing Stock Filter on M2 Zoom- to Install PolarPro or PGYTech Filters/PLs

    Glad you got the filter off. I bought a Tank wrench at a Vape shop and was able to remove my stock filter. it was on so tight.

    UAV app not very accurate

    It's not accurate, I stopped using it. I can tell when it is good to fly by observing the weather and checking the number of satellites on my controller.

    Data for condition of extra batteries; drone itself is gone.

    You need to have the drone and it needs to be connected to the controller to access battery condition other than the charge indicator lights on the battery itself.

    What's the point of buying a Mavic 2 Zoom actually?

    That couldn't have been better said!

    Any news, updates or more possibilitIets for the Smart Controller???

    I kind of agree on the being forgotten part. The SC is expensive and to have heard nothing from DJI since I bought it at the end of May is a little disheartening. Then again I'm very happy with it. It is a great improvement over the controller/cellphone set-up. The screen is bright, Occusynch 2...

    Mavic 2 pro battery life

    Something is wrong if those are your flight times and you are running your batteries so low. I get between 18 and 20 minutes when landing with 25%-30% battery remaining. These batteries are advertised at 30 minutes max per charge, but you will never see that. The only thing I can think of that...

    Beeping controller?

    If it is only occasionally it might be caused by the AFC when the camera refocuses. My SC beeps every now and then when it refocuses on something.

    Anyone still on their original battery?

    I bought my M2Z and Fly More kit in June of this year. The date on my Drone Box is 1/2019 and the Fly More Kit is 10/2018. My number of charges are 64, 66, 66. No swelling so far. I live in the Philippines and temps are in the upper 80's when I fly with a very strong sun. I let everything cool...

    Smart Controller DJI GO4 update/install to v4.3.25 tutorial;

    I updated mine last Wednesday using this tutorial. KlooGee made the process very simple. I've flown five batteries since then, Drone works great. Battery self-discharge time gets set to five days which you can change if you want.
