    Goggles RE- Reply Letter of Explanation to DJI Seeking HELP

    Maybe that's the problem! There is to much, for this non-computerized Trained Ape, to integrate??? Technically, I don't know what works and what doesn't so it's all trial and error. I'll get there with rational thought and a little help from my new Friends! BTW, No More Stuff till I figure out...

    Goggles RE- Reply Letter of Explanation to DJI Seeking HELP

    Brett, I only think that I tried to link one of the aircraft to the Goggles without having the SC activated and linked to the aircraft. I will try this ASAP even though, to my understanding, this is not the prescribed method per DJI. Initially I was unable to update the firmware on the SC, I...

    Goggles RE- Reply Letter of Explanation to DJI Seeking HELP

    Thank You for jumping in! I have both the Mavic 2 Pro and the Mavic 2 Zoom that came with the Smart Controller. I confirmed that both aircraft have the most current firmware before attempting to link with the goggles. I was able to update the firmware on the Smart Controller to the latest...

    Flight South of Downtown Indianapolis

    I know nothing of taking photos, YET. I haven't started the Training process, YET. I was very impressed with results from that flight and must give credit to the Pro's capability on auto! Thanks Man! Trained Ape More from Indy.

    Goggles RE- Reply Letter of Explanation to DJI Seeking HELP

    Benz, Thank You for contacting me back. I am Not a happy customer at this point! First of all, I travel for business. I may only get home 30 to 40 days out of a year. I made this order knowing that the merchandise would be waiting at my neighbors house for when I returned home. Fortunately I...

    DJI Go 4.3.16 now available!

    The RE's. I've spent all afternoon trying everything to link them up with the Smart Controller without success. I finally sent DJI a request for information to RETURN the darn things. I don't want to mess with them anymore! BTW, I just stumbled on your most recent reply. I received...

    DJI Go 4.3.16 now available!

    Yes I did and Thanks for asking. I first started with trying to update the SC. After many hours and reading that others were having problems I gave up. I got back into it earlier today with a clear mind. I first noticed that there was an older update available. I figured that the latest update...

    Hello from Annapolis Md.

    I came South over the bridge yesterday and I was eyeballing that park. Don't think I could get a semi truck over there but I would LOVE the opportunity to get pictures of the bridge! I delivered at the Gaylord Resort in National Harbor this morning and had wanted to get pictures of the bridge...

    Dual Remote for DJI Mavic 2 pro

    I read all that I can here as DJI instructions confuse me. I can't hit buttons that don't exist or hit a button that has no description. I got my Zoom / SC package last week and spent 8hrs trying to update the SC. Finally I came to the forum only to find that many others were having the same...

    battery care if flying weekly

    Hmm, we have smart batteries and smart chargers but they aren't smart enough to do the job as needed. Seems to me that the human operator should be able flip a switch on the smart charger telling it to Stop Charging at 60%. I try to fly daily and as I'm on a tight schedule I generally have...

    DJI Go 4.3.16 now available!

    Many Thanks! I'm an OTR Driver and fairly Isolated. the truck is to long to get into the I store so I can get educated and I don't have kids to learn from. While I seem to get by learning from trial and error I definitely struggle in the foriegn world of computers! I will get by the house...

    Insect repellent for your MAVIC?

    Just a thought, could a sponge or other absorbent material, such as cotton balls, be soaked in a repellant and then wrung out to be attached to the bird as a back pack? Could citronella oil for lanterns be used as the repellant? Pat

    DJI Go 4.3.16 now available!

    Will this upgrade make it possible to use the SC to fly and the CS to adjust camera settings, for example. It is my desire to have the navigation map displayed on the SC and camera view displayed on the CS. I would imagine that this configuration will have the SC as the master component and the...

    Best SIMPLE editing software recommendations..

    I have used “Cute Cut Pro” on the lap top very successfully. The friend that suggested this app uses it on his phone and tablet. It was easy to use and gave me features such as voice over, music layover and text layover and it allowed me to bring in photos. I could lay out three video tracks...
