Doubt it. They already gave it to android. Seems more like this released was rushed and certain things are still in beta

You could be right, I just tend to think most companies have these releases road mapped out. Give the people too much, too soon and they will want more.

Are you sure Android has advanced gimbal settings?

For sure. But changing your gimbal sensitivity is extremely basic and even the Mavic mini shipped with it. I really think this was rushed

That’s just not how this works

Does this new update allow you to use the smart controller with the Air 2? Im sure they were going to add that earlier this month. Still waiting.

No one has it. The screen shots posted here are all people looking in the app, because it is there in both Android and ios in the app when not connected (or connected to a Mini). It is not there on the Air 2. No matter the platform. (For now).

A couple of people said no. Another reason Im very confused with DJIs handling of this launch

Downloading now. SLOW!!!!

itsneedtokno · Jun 15, 2020

So tonight I just realized for the first time that I am able to save 8K RAW files....

I have no clue when the transition occured.

I have an S20 Ultra which seems to be updated before anything else, literally.

I have noticed no difference in flight characteristics or behavior.

I don't ever use active track or quickshots so I have no idea about those aspects.

8K RAW was listed as a feature of this new firmware update.

yeah i know, I just have no clue when i got the update, only noticed tonight that i had it.

people, myself included, were asking about flight characteristics post update, of which i have none to note. i have not noticed any change.

It was a quick DL/install process using the DJI Assistant 2 utility on the PC.

I was honestly hoping for waypoints or at least Litchi support. Ah well...

Litchi support is coming.... supposedly SDK support is coming to DJI Fly in July, with Litchi sometime thereafter.

I just received the update and updated using IOS. Take about 10 % of the battery charge.

svenmarbles · Jun 16, 2020

How long do people have to scream bloody murder for the icons at the top to have a semi opaque contrast strip behind them?

Also, waypoints... Please...

I think you’ll find it was taken without connecting to the drone. It’s a function in the Fly software, but not currently enabled for the MA2. If you open the Fly app without connecting to the drone, you can see the function in the Control menu - try it
