Thanks for the no-nonsense, clean presentation. There were no distractions, no sportscaster voice, annoying music. I traded in my Mavic Air and pretty much got my full expenditure back which made the Mavic @ Pro Combo with the Smart Controller the cost much more palatable. Great channel, I've subscribed, looking forward to more informative videos.

I'm looking to buy a Mavic 2 pro, and because I don't have a smartphone, I was looking for a Crystal Sky tablet. But I saw this controller and I started to hesitate in my choice. So I watched your video with a big interest and I think I'll watch your others videos. But finally, thank to your video, I more and more think this controller a better solution in my case, especially with the bundle. Thank you for your video and for your demonstration.

Very nice. There is probably going to be one of these in my bag by the spring. I’m hoping that some third-party or even DJI themselves come out with some sort of tripod mount that would utilize the bottom holes. If not then some very strong Velcro should do the job. The all in one convenience of this is worth it in my case. Only one battery to charge and not having to put a sun hood on each time should be much more convenient.

Setting the "Return to Home" point with the DJI Smart controller is restricted to the launch point only. Which is a huge problem if you want to launch your drone from, say, a moving boat! I can't understand why DJI left this feature off. I often set my RTH point to the actual hand set because it allows me to move location and still bring my drone back to me.
@ericjohnson8295 жыл бұрын
The real test of 3rd party functionality will be if drone mapping apps such as Drone Deploy, Pix4d or even DJI's own GSpro will function properly and Google Maps will work. Professional users aren't concerned about playing games etc. In the past, Google Play and 3rd party apps would install on the CrystalSky and appear to function through sideloading and APK files, but they usually wouldn't launch, crashed or were unstable and not useful and usually gave a message that Google Play services were incompatible with the device.

Good Morning Aldryn, Hope you can help. Reslly enjoy & learn from your videos. Thanks. I have been flying drones for few years. Bought Mavic 2 Pro when it came out. Setup with gesr & ipad took to long when in hurry to get a shot. I bought the M2Zoom with the Smart Controller. Have used the Smart with both drones. But I shot this video & as it started out over the ice your see it stops. I had no control with the Smart Pad. I hit return to which it did. I fly this shot alot, never had this problem with std. controller. Switch back to old controller Pad & finish the video.?? Later back flying on Smart Pad I was getting Obstacle system turning off & on by itself. Also old pad had me do the compass circle dance before flying. The Smart Pad does not ask at all. The list pops up when starting shows all ok before flying. Can’t find were to set my compass dance. It walks you thur setting the compass by rocking back & forth the Smart Pad. Sorry so long. Last old pad you could slide the screen sideways to set home point - brightness. It’s missing on Smart Pad. All firmware is up to dste. Love the Smart Controller for the speed getting inth air BUT nervous smashing my drones Thank you for all your help!! Wizbang99. / Ken. Here is that video.
