    left gimbal cover on when starting the drone

    This is what I’ve always done with my P3P.

    Should I buy the Pro 2 with or without the Smart Controller?

    I love my SC. Beautiful screen, ease of setup, and I have the ability to connect it to my TV to quickly show family members fresh (pre-post) videos. The only downside is the extreme cost and lack of cellular support (remedied by using my phone as a hotspot).

    Central Cascades 360º Pano

    So this was done all manually, correct? I’m assuming so due to your note about using bursts. Were they bracketed shots? What amount of overlap did you use when yawing for the next series? So far I’ve only used the auto pano features, though I do also keep the original files.

    IPad Mini vs Smart Controller

    As post #5 suggests, sell your regular controller and iPad Mini (if you already have it), and the cost of the SC drops significantly. The SC also has a brighter screen than an iPad and the all-in-one form factor is super convenient. Extreme temperature performance is also a plus, and the build...

    Anyone using iPhone 11 with DJI Go?

    My wife is in the shower so I quickly powered up my M2P with Smart Controller. I have the ability to control the gimbal with the sustained press on the screen, and I’m certain DJI didn’t implement an Apple-style force touch into their Smart Controller. I did receive the vibrate feedback that you...

    Anyone using iPhone 11 with DJI Go?

    I don’t think that said gimbal control was related to the discontinued touch feature from Apple. I believe the GO4 app just reacts to a sustained touch on the screen. i.e a simple press and hold, rather than an increasingly harder press.

    SD Card in Smart Controller

    I use the file explorer on the SC to view images, but there’s also the image viewer on the SC home screen (left button in the bottom right of the screen if memory serves correct). If you’re still connected to your craft you can use the playback feature in the GO4 app (also bottom right button)...

    State Farm canceled me today

    gfieldsr - Did State Farm cancel only your PAP policy, or all your policies (if you have others)? If you did have others that did or didn't get cancelled, what types were they?

    SD Card in Smart Controller

    In the same vein as Ralph, somebody correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe an SD card in the SC can be used to mirror the files recorded on the M2. I have not personally tried it though. I would also be unsure if this “syncing” would happen in real time or when the M2 isn’t actively recording a...

    24w DJI Smart Controller OEM usb-c charger

    Thanks ff22. I’m kinda a sucker for all things OEM, at least in relation to high-value items.

    Smart controller lanyard mounting screws

    I, too, have the screws from Starz. Here is my setup, shown in the photos below. I use a Blackrapid DSLR quick-draw sling camera strap with a second clasp attached. Obviously it easily fits in this GPC case with interior foam top.

    How do you record audio?

    I believe operators use stock audio recordings or make their own and edit them into the video in post.

    24w DJI Smart Controller OEM usb-c charger

    The markings don’t look identical to the SC charging block pictures I’ve seen. Can anybody confirm proper specs? I purchased a used SC without the OEM charger and have been using a Ravpower block from Amazon.

    New DJI Smart Controller

    Starz - Did you, in fact, charge your Smart Controller with a Mavic 2 battery and power bank adapter? I have been curious about that myself. It may seem trivial to charge the controller at the expense of losing a M2 battery, but I'm thinking about out-in-the-field scenarios where I have extra M2...

    DJI Smart Controller

    Flashman - Did you ever try to charge your Smart Controller with your power bank adapter and a Mavic 2 intelligent battery? I have been curious about that myself. It may seem trivial to charge the controller at the expense of losing a battery, but I'm thinking about out-in-the-field scenarios...
