I flew rc aircraft years ago and decided to fly drones now. I got a Mavic 2 Pro. it is still in the unopened box as I’m trying to decide if I want to upgrade to the kit with the smart controller.

Hi sjrash Welcome to Mavic Pilots.
My opinion is the Smart Controller is a nice upgrade but if funds aren't a problem I would open the box & fly until the SC bought stand alone arrives, no harm having a backup controller.

Welcome to the forum!

Here are some things to help you get started with your Mavic 2 Pro:

• The current Mavic 2 Pro manual can be downloaded here (it doesn't come in the box). Other important documents can be found on the Mavic 2 downloads page.
  
  
• Check out this getting started guide for some tips not found in the Mavic 2 Pro manual.
  
  
• This video covers all the basics of the Mavic 2.
  
  
• Your drone batteries will last longer if you use and maintain them like this.
  
  
• Practice flying outdoors in a wide open location that's free of all obstacles. Don't attempt to fly inside your house or in other confined locations.
  
  
• The drone records flight data each time you fly. You can decrypt and view those flight logs with these tools.
  
  
• Check out MavicHelp.com for commonly used accessories you might need.

Welcome from NE Florida.

I had two drones (Mavic air and Mavic Pro Platinum) before I bought my Mavic 2 Zoom with the SC. I've since sold the Mavic Air, but still occasionally fly the Mavic PP. Having the SC is a wonderful addition for me That said, it was cheaper for me to by the M2Z with the SC rather than buy it separately. That's what I did it that way.

Of course, as mentioned, having a second controller would not be a bad idea, just not sure if it's worth it as I've never personally needed one.
