Newbie with questions

[K5IJD]

OK. Yes I am new to all of this and just getting started. I bought a M2P with a smart Controller from a friend and have questions. I have searched this forum and others but can't find any definitive answers...

As in plain language. Anyone out there speak Newbie??

1. DJI Fly does not work and says device not supported. Do I need that?
2. All the instructions that I have seen say to bind the controller and aircraft to my account with DJI Fly. Is there another way?
2. DJI Go 4 seems to work fine. Is that all I need?

Sent 2 emails to DJI Support but no response.

M2 series aircraft do NOT use the fly app, they use the GO 4 app. Also, the M2 series are NOT in the product line of DJI products that are “bound” to a specific DJI account. If you purchased from a friend, you can certainly delete his account information and add in your own account information.

With your questions fully addressed, I would like to congratulate you on purchasing the most versatile DJI drone available. The geographical tethers and registration lockout booby traps that plague newer DJI drone models only kicked in after the M2P was in circulation, so you have yourself a diamond in the rough that you would be well advised never to sell. I speak as a self-appointed authority figure on the M2P and M2 Zoom, of which I own four pristine specimens.

As per the other posts: DJI FLY is only for drones from the Air2 onwards. The Mav. 2's use DJI GO4 (which is what DJI FLY wants to be when it grows up and loses weight). GO4 is arguably the single finest drone control app created so far.

I own and regularly use both the Mav. 2 Pro and Zoom which are well rounded, polished to the degree that there isn't anything left that needs tweaking or correcting as well as being fully featured 'pro-sumer' level drones. I doubt you'll be disappointed.

Thank you! I appreciate the reply!
Simply a case of "even a Blind Pig finds an Acorn sometimes". He needed dental work and wouldn't accept the cash as a gift or charity so here I am.

Thank you for the answers. That helps a lot. especially the manual.
I will start learning to fly the M2P and be back with more questions.
Thanks again.

Thanks for the tip. I will avoid doing that

If GO4 is installed and working, use it. That's the correct DJI app to use with a Mavic 2 aircraft. There's also some 3rd party apps that will work, but as a newbie GO4 is definitely the one to use.
