DJI.... ANOTHER STEP BACKWARDS?

MavicMike55 · May 13, 2020

Apparently, there is no adjustment available for gimbal pitch speed or smoothness. Please prove me wrong on this. How about EXP adjustment? I think just about every drone released in the last 3 years has a gimbal pitch adjustment! This is not right. ??

well, that's just f-ed up, even the Mini, using the same app, has those (VERY necessary) settings. What the actual F?!

The app has an adjustment in the System Settings under Control.

Apparently not for the Air 2, just for the Mini.......

This is how it looks for the Air 2, really disappointing......

I'm sure DJI will add it to the next Fly app update, it doesn't make sense for the not to.

When the Fly app initially came out for the Mini, it took several updates for features to be added, so I'm guessing a similar approach will taken for the MA2.

let's hope so. I would assume it's a firmware issue rather than a Fly app issue, since the app itself already supports it for the Mini....

Very strange... My screen shot is from the Mavic Air 2 part of the app. The aircraft is not connected

I do not get the Air2 until tomorrow.

The Fly app updates its available options when connecting to the drone (which enforces my opinion this is a firmware issue). An example is for the Mavic Mini, before the .04 (i think) update the Mini only supported RTH for loss of signal. If you were to look in the Fly app without the drone connected, you would see all options, RTH, Hover Land and only RTH would remain when connecting the drone.

It's beside me how this "LEADER" in drone technology could even release a new drone with out these BASIC functions. It's a real head scratcher. Very disappointing.

This will be my first Mavic. I've previously had Phantom's and used the DJI Go app. Does the Mavic work only with the Fly App?

The Air 2 and the Mini only work with the Fly app. The other Mavics work with the Go4 app.

It's in the iPad version of the app which is newer than the iPhone version.

that's not how iOS apps work, it's the same exact app. Also, it's been confirmed on the DJI forums that MA2 does NOT have gimbal advanced settings.

Gimbal Sensitivity adjustment

Looking through the settings, I don't see an advanced option for the gimbal to change the speed/sensitivity of the adjustment wheel. It's not where it is for the Mini on the Fly App. Has anyone found it/figured this out? Stay safe everyone Matt

The Fly app blows!!!!! I want Go 4 back!!!!

I opened Fly app on one of my devices the other day . . . I don't have a mini (or Air 2) just wanted to see the shell of it and what was in the menus etc.

I was really concerned when I saw almost all DJI consumer drones listed in the opening screen list, my M1P, Spark, M2, Air, etc.
Is that still there, or is it now only showing the Mini and Air 2 ?
Looking at post #9, it could be just the 2 drones there now ?

If so, I'm happy about that, was concerned that Fly might be adapted by DJI for other models at some future point.

I, for one, believe there will only be one app in the future. Go will only be around for the older drones and no longer updated.

I'm new to this but from a newcomer perspective, I'd agree. It doesn't make sense to pay developers to update multiple apps, and it hurts in production/programming/etc. when you have to have multiple levels of complexity. Having one app for all would simplify it.

I also think they will make the Fly App more robust down the road as they continue to update it, and I'd surmise they address concerns already being mentioned.

We can already see that they have the ability to adjust the app based on the AC connected (mini vs. Air 2) so I would guess that it will have very robust features for Pro Models with features not available to the Air, and features for the Air not available to the Mini, for both product level marketing purposes, and due to hardware limitations.

Why am I not absolutely outraged over this? Weird...

I have noticed that the gimbal speed seems to accompany the mode that it’s in.. Tripod mode and a very slow and steady gimbal speed..
