Thanks for that. Just watched the entire video. . learned a few things. . still can't get the Controller to connect to my Mac OR PC . . .on the controller itself, I can see there are at least 100's of pictures on there. . I WAS able to use the same cable and connect the drone itself. . and was able to see the DCIM Folder but very few pix on there. . looks like the majority of them are stored on the controller. . not sure what the issue is. . cable obviously works. . also tried the USB A port on top. . apparently just for connecting accessories and not for a data download. .

Thanks again. . must be a newbie thing. .hope I'm just doing something wrong and no issue with the controller. .

Hey Starz ~
I was wondering the same thing. . not quite sure how that could have even come in contact with anything with the arm out. That being said, like I said before, everything seems to operate very smoothly. . arms out, in, motors sound great, transmitter screen very clear, bright, no glitches. . even the "gimbal start up" is smooth. . I wish I could post a video. . .no difference whatsoever in the arm movements. .very smooth, "locks" in place nicely, etc. I've done absolutely nothing with the drone besides charge and check all 4 batteries and remove/reinstall the soon-to-be-in-the-trash props Any suggestion on replacement props? I'll attempt to calibrate the IMU to confirm that error can be eliminated and then get to work on the real issue. . that Gimbal. . any thoughts on the firmware version? You Mavic guys have the same issue with Firmware Updates that we did with the Phantoms? Frying the board, new glitches, video drop outs, etc.? I'm now of the opinion that if there's no good reason to update the firmware, best to just leave it alone. . am I wrong? Thanks for your help!

I've had no problems with the latest firmware, which adds the RID to the drone as required. I had to update both the aircraft and install the latest version of GO4 in the Smart Controller right from the DJI website. After updating everything and rebooting them I've had no problems at all.

I can't figure this out. I'm not a beginner. I designed a drone for DoD from scratch. Been flying M2P since the beginning. DJI since 2011. DIY before that 2005. Bought this one on Ebay. It has a few problems that don't seem important. Front right vision sensor gives an error. It can only sense in reverse. White LED does not come on. Sometimes makes a whistle noise when moving forward. Looks like new props, not sure if they're balanced. Broken leg I glued it. It drifts ever so slightly compared to my original M2P, when it's windy. I did IMU and compass and Gimbal calibrations. I don't have...
