Totally agree! Similarly, I loved the simplicity of the P4P+, but couldn't deal with the buggy Android operating system that ran it! Returned it for the P4P and used my full sized iPad instead. Currently using the much larger 9.7" iPadPro with both my M2P and M2Z, and loving the reliable iOS GO 4 version, which always gets all improvements and bug fixes first!I think my biggest Pro for me is that its a all in one solution, My only con for me personally that it runs on android
I was referring to the P4P+, CS, and SC customized versions of Android GO 4 which are hardware specific, rather than the generic Android GO 4 which is device independent, and stable. Please correct me if the SC is now using the Play Store version of Android GO 4, as I have never used one to know if that aspect has changed. If so, that would be a welcome change!Android Go4 has been perfectly stable for ages now. Its simply not an issue.
Thanks for the clarification. Totally agree about your "IT SHOULD be" above! When writing GO 4 for your own known hardware, why is that always the last one to get updated, and the buggiest at the outset? Makes no sense.DJIs biggest failing is software and its insane that its update policy isnt flagship first, everything else secondary. IT SHOULD be Crystal Sky/SC first, then the non DJI devices (with all platforms released at the same time). In a sane world.
If you go lanyard route - I prefer two point connection. With a one point, as you bend down or forward the controller will tend to rotate possibly leaving the screen/sticks against your body.Only con for me (being a new user to the Mavic 2 Pro) is that it does not come with a lanyard. After a while of holding it, it gets a bit warm (not hot) and my hands begin to sweat. I'd like to wipe my hands and not fear dropping the controller because it slipped.

There is an excellent aftermarket neck strap!

Plusses for Smart Controller: I've heard about smart phones disconnecting from controllers. I have not had any failures with Smart Controller. Screen is bright -even in bright sun. Having both devices made entirely by DJI sounds more reliable to me than adding a third party device to the mix. I don't even know what happens if you get a call on a smart phone while flying -? A larger screen would be excellent, but as a new flier I give the SC thumbs up.
