    DJI Air 2 with Smart Controller Remote Identification

    The Smart Controller was originally intended for the Mavic 2 but also works on the Mini 2 and Air 2. I bought mine separately and used it on my mini 2 for almost 2 years. I then got rid of the Mini 2 and found an Air2 for a good price so my Smart controller now is used for it. The newer RC2...

    Salaries for Ag Drone Pilots

    I'm stuck on the $45K for a pilot without a required part 107, and only $50K with your 107, and you still need additional licenses to distribute poison? This can't be correct operating a $50K+ setup, and applying poison to crops...?

    DJI Mini 2 controler trouble upgrading

    You can go use the DJI "Smart Controller" Like I have also. You must unbind the two from your account or you won't be able to fly. Have to go into "profile", then device management.

    RC2 backup to PC?

    Did you pull the micro SD card out? I have only once since buying it 2 months ago but I do have a 512GB card in there. I remember it was a heavily modified Android version with very few folders. Take a peek in there, of course you might not be able to tell what you are looking at. Just copy...

    Is Mini 4k better than orig Mavic Air?

    The M4p has a wind resistance of 10.7 m/s which is the same as the Air line. The Inspire & the Mavic lines are only 12m/s. You think the bigger the more stable..? It's a double edged sword. The bigger they are then it takes more effort to destabilize the hovering mass. But the heavier mass is...

    Altitude above sea level during flight

    Get a cheap rangefinder from Walmart. It might take a few tries but it should be able to pick up a M2 sized object in the air. Or go to Home Depot and get a Bosch laser measure. But those typically only go up to 165' but accurate to the inch.

    Is Mini 4k better than orig Mavic Air?

    I think the Mini 4K would compare better to the Mini 2. Might be worth getting the Mini 2 instead..?

    Is NoLimitDronez (NLD) trustworthy?

    I bought 2 licenses from NLD the past few years. They are very receptive in helping folks out. I also am on their Discord channel and the developers are always available. Rock solid group but they are in like Norway or something so keep that in mind if you email them.

    Hello from South Louisiana!

    Long time lurker, ever since I bought my Pro Platinum back in 2018, but I've only recently joined. Currently I have a Mini 4 Pro, and a Mini 2 (with Smart controller but probably getting rid of it). I'm scheduled to take my 107 license soon to add to my A&P license which honestly, haven't used...

    Anyone else not buying DJI in the US due to the potential ban?

    I bought my M4P in anticipation of a ban. If they retroactive the FCC certifications which would be a worst case scenario, you can simply turn off Wifi and never perform another update if you have the RC2. If using your phone that might be trickier since you can block permissions, but the app...
