Good point, that is indeed confusing. I have to click ok to the prompt that says "Firmware version inconsistent,. Update firmware before use" when I switch between my Mavic 3 Pro and Mini 3 Pro. I have to do that when using the RC or RC Pro too. That's different than updating the firmware on...

That's weird. Did you press the button on the drone for 3+ seconds until it started beeping in pairing mode and all that? And I know it sounds weird but sometimes I've had issues where a controller wouldn't pair to the drone because the drone was too close, so it's worth trying different...

Been there done that! I salute your creativity but personally I prefer the Plus controller. Above is my old rig, a 12.9" iPad Pro with the NS1 controller. I was an evangelist for that method for a long time. Super love the giant screen as you say. And I still think it's a better method than...

- way bigger and brighter screen than the Pro - way more rugged and waterproof - with the hot swappable battery way more battery capacity - twice the storage - detachable antennas I could go on. But yeah, calling it merely a "bigger body" is missing the point by just a little bit.

I feel your joy! So glad it's working for you. I have no idea why this controller isn't more popular. I get the same joy every time I use it. Literally every time. It massively improves my Mavic 3 Pro.

My controller shipped with that setting already disabled, assuming you mean DJI Fly's Profile -> Settings -> About -> Auto Check for Updates, move the slider to disabled. Definitely a necessary thing to do. But I was still getting a little link to update in DJI Fly when I wasn't connected to a...

I get the nags in Fly app too, but not when connected to a drone. I think I did before the update too? It's just a little "click here to update firmware" in the corner, easily ignored.

Yup I updated fly on mine. It's just an app, no problem.

So there isn't cruise control on a Mavic 3 Pro?

I've been watching the screensaver videos on an Apple TV and the formula is always the same, set a camera angle and direction of flight and keep it absolutely steady for the duration. It's a cool effect. I've heard of steady flight on a Mavic 3 Pro but can't find it. Any tips on how to do this...

Aha, thanks for that. Looks like the person I bought it from had already unchecked "Auto Check for Updates". Good idea! Here's a screenshot showing the slider disabled. This is in DJI Fly's Settings (Profile -> Settings) -> About:

I'm not seeing that setting. I assume it's under Android's Settings -> System? But oddly I'm not seeing any way to check for a firmware update there or anywhere else in Android Settings.

That's strange, I haven't ever been prompted to update the firmware with my Plus. At least I don't think I have? Maybe there's a little "update the firmware" link somewhere but I don't think I've even noticed it. It sure would be nice to figure out how to flash the Pro firmware on it ourselves...

And external hot swappable battery! With the battery installed I never really think about charge levels of the controller, I just use it for days and it still has 3 bars. Highly recommended accessory: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074FXMX2Y

I'm amazed by the ability to see it in bright sunshine. I can't remember if I posted it here, but I picked up this sunshade, it helps even more: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C6KM8BNK It's also nice for protecting the joysticks during transport. Now I just slip the controller into this stylin...
