Wow. . this just keeps getting better. I WAS posting about the lack of range on my recent Ebay Mavic 2 Pro Purchase. Everything seems fine except it has very limited range. . starts losing video and control bars at about 750' out and 300' up. I was going to test my original Mavic 2 Pro when it came back from a Gimbal Overload Error fix. When I sent it in, it had Firmware Version 01.00.0770. It flew fine. It NOW has firmware 01.00.0797! I paired it with my Smart Controller, calibrated the compass then got "Unknown Error (code: 180). Cannot takeoff. Contact DJI Support". I Googled it. .says usually due to a firmware update and incompatibility between the controller and the drone. I was firmly against updating the firmware as, in the past, it usually causes more problems than it solves. Now, looks like I'll have to update my controller or I won't be able to fly my drone, correct? Should I update my Smart Controller which currently has 01.01.0072 Firmware or tell the repair company to send me another Mavic 2 Pro with my original (or earlier) firmware so I'm not restricted in any way by newer firmware? I don't know enough about the various iterations to be severely pissed or if I should just let it go. . thanks in advance for your advice
. PS I also noticed that the "new" camera that they installed isn't new. . it has scuffs, marks and I can see marks behind the lens cover. . not happy. . see pix. .
