Thanks for the great info! I may well get this rig as it seems that you could definitely do a better job of framing shots more quickly than squinting at a small screen. All the best!
Smart Controller, is it any good ?

Being new to DJI ownership I had the advantage of getting into the game after the release of the smart controller and purchased my Mavic 2 Zoom bundled with the Smart controller. So right out of the box I paid about $350 for the SC as that was about the difference in price from getting the bundle with the standard controller.
Im new to DJI but not to RC and FPV and alot of my friends have DJI stuff using there tablet or phones. In my opinion none of the tablets, no matter how big are bright enough so if you cant see it then who cares about the size. Then the ones you can see hae a hood and the whole set up is just cumbersome. The Smart Controller screen is super clear, super bright and even though is not huge its EASY to see clearly even in the brightest sunlight. No hood, no brackets, no squinting. Im up and flying within 1 minute of opening my bag. I have 4 flight batteries and fly conservatively trying to land with over 20% left so about 90 mins of run time on the SC with each outing and its still got about 50% charge. Im totally spoiled by the SC and I really want to get another DJI drone, im interested in something smaller but the compatibly with the SC is key to my purchase. Im waiting to see if the Mavic Air 2 is compatible, if it is im in, if not im out.
would I pay $600 - $700 for the controller.......probably not. But as a $350.00 upgrade I consider it a bargain.

I did a google search for the DROPBOX.APK file then just copied it to the controller via my PC. Then use the file manage app on the controller to run the .APK file. It installs just like any other app on andriod.
