Dual Smart Controllers?

[thegrider]

Has the Mavic 2 Smart Controller update came out yet that will allow dual operators to both be using smart controllers?

Yes, I have been able to use my Mavic 2 Pro in dual controller mode since getting it around September 2019.

With 2 smart controllers though? Or 2 standard controllers?

SC and STD for me, but no reason you cant use 2 STD or 2 SC controllers in duel setup

I have a dual smart controller setup.

I guess I need to ask, what do you use your dual SC setups for? Just curious!

On a recent real estate photo shoot, I offered my second controller to my customer so she could take in the views as well and provide requests in real time (e.g. "give me that view you have now")

For more complex maneuvers, having another person focused on operating the camera helps.

Thanks. Didn't know you could have one controller handle flying while the other did photography. Not at this level. That is what movie studios do! Pretty cool.

sometimes I fly with the SC and a friend will have my STD controller with a 9.7 iPad mounted on it and I fly while he plays around with the camera

I'd love to see any video footage captured in this way! I can see the potential and need for collaboration between pilot and videographer. Cool.
