    How to Format Internal Storage? Insuff. Space for SC Upgrade

    Still stuck here....pulled the 128GB Micro-SD, reset to factory defaults on the SC. Used Mavic 2 Assistant to try the upgrade (3) times....seems it has to download the whole upgrade file every time (sigh) and it then fails after 99%. Frustrating!

    How to Format Internal Storage? Insuff. Space for SC Upgrade

    I have tried the latest firmware download a few times on my SC, but I get warned there is insufficient storage. I have formatted the 128GB MicroSD card I have in the SC, but it seems to need internal storage I guess? My internal is like 10.5G out of 12GB full or some such...I don't see how to...

    Smart Controller disconnected during hyperlapse session

    No disconnects here with latest FW on SC and MPZ. Be sure your cell phone Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are off if it's in the area where you're controlling your drone.

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

    Thanks, the video was very helpful. Adding a latex glove gave me the purchase needed to press in and unscrew the stock filter. Now have the PolarPro ND8/PL installed and will fly with that today.

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

    I bought the 6-Pack Cinema Series filters from Polar Pro for $149US. They look and feel great, but I can not remove my factory filter that came installed on my M2 Zoom. I've dealt with filters and stiuck filters before as a photographer on lenses and have used filter 'wrenches' before that...

    Smart Controller Firmware to Work With Mavic Air 2

    I got tired of waiting for DJI and 'invested in' a Mavic 2 Zoom that I could fly right away with the Smart Controller I bought to use with the MA2. I'm sure FW will come eventually for the MA2/SC combo, but in the meantime I am loving the Zoom too...and I'm flying a lot more as all I do is...

    I just ordered a refurbished one from DJI

    I searched and researched carefully just before the release of the MA2 and all I could find and attribute directly to a DJI statement was that there would be a future upgrade to make the SC compatible with the MA2. Theree was no timeframe given, but I went ahead and bout the MA2 and the...

    Flymore Combo $869 BH Photo

    FWIW no issues whatsoever here with MA2. I had a Spark and Mavic Pro already. Am very much enjoying the MA2 and can't wait until the Smart Controller update is out so i can use it with the MA2.

    Damaged MA2 Controller

    Cool...step at a time, takes quite a while to get tuned in to fully fly with both sticks at once, learning to do nice even turns while shooting video etc.

    Damaged MA2 Controller

    I didn't see the OP say what his RTH altitude is set to. If your concern is that you pressed RTH and the drone began to ascend, that's quite normal assuming your RTH altitude is higher than where the drone was at that moment.

    Extra MA2 battery cost $260

    As far as I know, in the USA, we still live in a free market, capitalist economy. Sellers can charge whatever they want to in Amazon's marketplace...it's no one's responsibility to police the prices as supply and demand ebb and flow. It's the buyer that makes the choice what they are willing to pay.

    Panorama Folder

    ...and after that each panorama shot will get saved in its own folder??

    Panorama Folder

    I've not found a setting for that. All my panos seem to get just thrown in with the single and AEB photos.

    Smart Controller Firmware to Work With Mavic Air 2

    I agree on the brightness for sure. But I also very much look forward to being able to simply switch on the drone and the SC and go. No positioning my tablet or phone in a holder, connecting a USB cable and keeping it out of the way. Not worrying about whether I put the phone on DND and did I...

    Thought I almost lost it...

    "UAV Forecast" for Android is good for that
