The above is correct. Good explanation here if you want more details and specific references to FAA regs.

I ditched the soft bag/backpack as well and use this custom SKB case. It's great when I travel as I often ship my stuff ahead to my destination. Also when I'm local, I made a collapsible stand that turns the case into a small table (think "TV tray" type scissor stand). M2P w/4 batteries (one...

Hmmm. You may be in a bind. I hope I am wrong. I believe your mobile number is considered “credentials” in validating the request. It’s a little different for me because I have a mobile phone, but I still had to buy a small $10/mo data plan to tether my CrystalSky to to get clearance when I...

Fly Safe – Drone Flying Tips, Policies & Regulations, and More – DJI tells you how to unlock authorization zones, either by cellphone or on their website. Curious what you fly with if you don't have a mobile phone? Maybe CrystalSky? I use a CS which can connect via WiFi when I'm near my house...

If you have a Mavic 2 Pro/Zoom you can get this cable for about 7 bucks and use your Mavic 2 charger for the CS battery: Buy Products Online from China Wholesalers at Aliexpress.com Unfortunately the CS batteries are 4S (~15.4 V) and the Mavic Pro (NOT 2 Pro) is 3S (~11.4V), so the old Mavic...

Slooow. Been there. Done that.

Couldn’t agree more. I tried using a Mini 2 for a short while but constantly got CPU warnings and it was horrible in the sun. Switched to CrystalSky and haven’t looked back. Now my Mini 2 is basically a mobile hotspot for my CS (especially with the new GEO) and runs utility apps like weather...

While most legit apk sites screen their files, there’s always the possibility of malware when you side load apps. DJI doesn’t support 3rd party apps on the CS. While lots of us use them, I keep my CS as clean as possible and don’t get carried away with adding apps. There’s always the...

PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK. On your CS Browser, go to an apk repo like apkpure.com and look up the app you want. Download the apk file. The download progress will show on the CS settings screen. Wait til it finishes. Tap it and follow the install prompts.

Nope, you can use the built in file explorer to navigate and then copy/paste the files from the SD card to the drive. It's not elegant at all, but works.

I know this isn't necessarily an option for everyone, but I use a CrystalSky which has a bunch of USB ports, micro SD card slots and a file manager. When I'm on the road I use it to dump my SD cards to a portable HDD or SSD if I'm not able to get to my computer right away. Not super fast, but...

Thanks. I thought I was losing my mind looking for it.

Curious if this is platform-specific? Or region? I checked both my iOS and CrystalSky Go4 app and it doesn't show in either. Neither show pending updates on device or DJI Assistant. I'm in the US. :rolleyes:

How do you have it and none of the rest of us do?

Thanks. Yea I found that after I posted. It still kind of sucks without cellular data on the CS when you’re on a long trip away from WiFi. But I guess it keeps morons from ruining what we have left in UAV piloting.
