    Real world performance, benchmarks and some thoughts about DJI RC Pro

    Hi guys, there is a lot of talk about the new DJI RC Pro. While I definitely get where you are coming from, especially if you already own (like I do) the original Smart Controller, I'm thinking DJI has good reasons not to try to make the Smart Controller compatible with Mavic 3. I'm using the...

    Crazy Idea for Remote Antenna

    **I understand this wouldn't be legal if flown outside of VLOS in the U.S. I am just wondering if it is possible, and I am looking for technical ideas on how to make it work. Where I live: The freaking tundra. It's cold, it snows, I'm frozen. What I want to do: Sit my *** inside by a fire...

    Mavic 2 Pro IMU Ongoing Issue...Smart Controller at fault?

    All of a sudden, I am being asked to calibrate the IMU on my MAVIC 2 Pro before every flight. Once I take care of business then I have no issues during the flight. However, when asked to calibrate the IMU, it gets stucked on step 2 out of 5. The only way I can move on is with restarting and...

    I have purchased a used Air 2S online (from a reseller) and I am now trying to bind it to my Smart controller. Unfortunately, an error shows up as the drone is still bound to the previous owner. It tells me I can fly 5 times before the drone is grounded. I have attached the screenshots of this...

    I was flying with Smart Controller doing a couple of roof inspections after Hurricane Nicholas and was screen recording while flying just around the house and the lag was so bad I had to stop the screen recording. Was significantly better without screen recording but still had noticeable lag...

    DJI Fly app - UI positions

    On my Smart Controller connected to my Air 2 - the lower left corner is where the map, compass and collision tiles start. Tap to select which. The map can be minimized. The collision tile seems to only toggle. I see many videos with this collision tile lower center. And to me it makes sense to...

    Hi Guys - I have just joined the community :) For a few months now I have been having issues downloading my photos. Maybe it's silly but it just doesn't seem straight forward to me and extensive google / youtube searches have not really helped. I think there are a few issues, basically would...

    Mavic Pro 2 Almost Disaster with Latest FW

    I have been flying drones for about 5 years now. I do it professionally for real estate. I have flown thousands of times. This has never happened so I figured I would share what are likely my mistakes with others, but also ask what I should do in the future should it happen again. I have MP2...

    I'm using a M2Pro and Smart Controller. I'm unable to edit the WAYPOINTS on my Smart Controller. Each time I attempt to, I just add another waypoint. I've tried lots of ways and watched alot of YT vids but no luck. I did set-up one route on my old M2Pro (using this SC) but nothing with the...

    Hi, I'd be very grateful for suggestions / help on two issies to do with my 3 mth old DJI Smart Controller (used with a Mavic 2 Pro.) The first is that it will suddenly turn off, returning to the homepage while in midflight, at which point it hovers awaiting further instructions. It can happen...

    Any way to set DJI Fly app as a home app?

    When you press back+5D-up you go "home", that is, to DJI Go app. Is there any way to set DJI Fly as "home" app? There's a shortcut button section in the controller's settings, but it doesn't allow for any changes as far as I can see, only viewing what's set by default.

    For those that may want to share live feeds in todays work environment.

    New Smart Controller Customize

    I'm new to the smart controller. I'm not seeing where I can customize the right dial. I only see options to customize C1 and C2 in Control menu. What I am missing? Also, is the C3 button customizable? Thank you!

    Smart controller turned off during flight

    I was 3 minutes into a flight (200', maybe 300 yards away) and my smart controller turned off. I was able to turn it back on and I still had connection, so I could keep flying, but it was disconcerting! Has anyone had this happen?

    SController incompatibility with DJI Fly 1.2.1?

    I have received a replacement Smart Controller under warranty for this issue. The issue was, when connected to the Mavic Air 2, the live camera view is black. The Transmission Tab shows no data. Yet I can take photos and video, and can play them back from the saved images using DJI Fly. When...

    Fly more + Smart Controller

    I noticed today DJI now offers the fly more combo with the smart controller for $1400. Is the extra couple hundred dollars for the smart controller worth it? As is, the smart controller in this bundle is an extra 400, which is 47% less than what it normally costs.
