Hi,
Does anyone flew with the new Mavic Air 2 controlled by the DJI Smart Controller.
I've heard a rumour that this combination does't work

According to DJI, the smart controller needs a firmware upgrade to be compatible with the MA2

Hi Iannes, thx for reply. Do you know if this firmware upgrade is already scheduled for release? Or is it already avalaible?

Welcome to Mavic Pilots! ? Enjoy the forum!

It’s a future update with no ETA as far as I’m aware of

As anzac jack said, it's been mentioned on the DJI Forum by an administrator but it could be vapor ware

Welcome and for now nope Smart Controller does NOT work with the Mavic Air 2. DJI has to come out and release a firmware update which they supposedly were going to do 2 weeks after release, but of course they didn't so who knows when this will be a reality. Spend your money elsewhere for now like I did and buy yourself a new camera.

As I recall from another thread in this forum, the two week window rumor was started by a Youtuber, and never promised by DJI.

If the smart controller worked with the A2, and Mini, I would already own one.

Hi,
Today I have received an mail from DJI in which they explain the following.
I quote:
".... I am afraid that we won't have a plan that the Mavic Air 2 may support Smart Controller. Not sure if there is a new version of the smart controller or not in the future, please keep an eye on our official website, we will never know about the performance of future products..."

I think it is a clear statement

Welcome to Mavic Pilots from Dayton Ohio USA! As of right now it doesn't work until the promised firmware update arrives from DJI. I've been checking it every few days in hopes of an update surprise but nothing yet. Fly safe and have fun!

Untrue....DJI told me that this will be an option after a future update.!
