We typically don't see UPS until really late. It could be at least 7pm PST. Meanwhile all you guys are killing me.

Two minutes after I posted this...

Looks familiar - got mine from Advexure too. Enjoy! (And exhale [emoji57])

Waiting for everything to charge, then firmware, the take it out and crash it!

Nice!! Now I'm too nervous to fly it.. it may not come back. Ha

I'm rewatching the DJI Tutorials while I wait for things to charge. It's not helping distract me enough.

I read the manual and watch a couple videos and cannot figure out how to hook the remote to the Transformer. Can somebody attach some pictures?

In the bag with the extra thumbsticks is the USB-C to Micro USB adapter. You have to plug into the side port on the controller.

I’m not using the adapter as my USB-C is doing the firmware update on the drone.

I'm about 2 minutes from throwing this thing into the river. Nothing wants to fit with the cord going to the Transformer.

Deep breath. Find the long flat cable. Leave that adapter in. Plug the long cable into the adapter and the other end into the charger.

Okay thank you. I think I got it. The remote only flashes some dots if I press the power button correct?

Have you really not watch any YouTube videos?

Press once and the lights should come on telling you how much charge is left. Press and hold to power on.

Ok, got it.. thanks. Which DJI go app did you load?

DJI Go 4? Is there other ones?

Scampcamp · Apr 13, 2018

No!! Duh... geeezzz. I'm using my extra LG cell phone and there is no Mini card installed so I'm running out to BestBuy. With a smaller gb card be ok? I have a 64GB card for the Drone.

No idea. On iOS.

The RC is taking forever to fully charge.

Scampcamp · Apr 13, 2018

Yeah mine also. Have any of your three main battery is charged fully yet

Two. Updated firmware on both.

swooshdave · Apr 13, 2018

Ok, that was a lot of fail.

I got it to take off but as soon as it left the ground it would lose connection. I was standing about 2 ft away. When it landed (by itself) it would reconnect. Tried this several times with same results.

Then it started to rain. I'll post video from the GoPro in a bit.

Wow, nothing is working. GoPro is misbehaving. Drone... Is it Friday 13th or something?

Re-updated firmware on aircraft. All good now.
