DJI Smart Controller Introduction, And First Flight With The DJI Mavic 2 Zoom

It's been several years but I just purchased the DJI Mavic 2 Zoom smart controller. I have seen a number of unboxing videos of people getting theirs and they would get in the box a USB-C cable and a Power Adaptor.
When I got mine last week there wasn't a power adaptor. DJI told me they don't include it. It seems when you pay this much for a Smart Controller you could at least put in a $5.00 power adaptor wouldn't you ?

DJI don't give you the fast charger the main part of the controller that is so stupid

You dont want to use your phone as your RC period. Not because the phone heats up, bad lighing, messaging is a hazzel so forth. So why use 15 min explaining why you want an independent RC bothers me.

I'm missing things, the smart controller came out designed operate both Mavic Air 2 and mini 2 so I got one. Is it me, or have you missed out all the models in-between and gone with a smart controller for 2 zoom?. My one came with a fast charger, how ever I did find if it was plugged into a multi block with others, it did not work. It has to be in the live socket by itself. hope that helps.

Waiting for that new smart controller can’t wait air2 s army out

You have the antennas pointed at the drone instead of having them perpendicular as shown in the manual. Also, it should rise 30 feet to snapshot the home point and not 10 feet. No interference from the high power transmitting tower?

How do I setup my DJI smart remote for the DJI Flight Simulator?

I have the same kitchen appliances lol.

It would have landed on it

Very informative. Thank you for posting. Cheers from Detroit.

My intelligent flight mode icon doesn’t appear? Any ideas

Been doing some serious research on getting this so I can live stream with the HMDI port, but I’m still wondering one thing.. forgive me if you didn’t mention in your video, I skipped around a bit because it’s such a long video. But is the dial on the right side a continuous pull/push exactly like the left side, or is it more of a single click like on the Phantom 4 series?

Question for Idaho Quadcopter: I just purchased the DJI Smart controller and Mavic 2 Pro. I have a SanDisk SD card 128gb Extreme Pro. Tell me if you will if the following procedure is correct. I would "NOT" put the SD card into the aircraft but would insert it in the Smart Controller instead. I would receive my videos and photos transmission "from the aircraft straight to the controller's internal storage..." Is that right? From the controller's internal storage I would transfer to the SD card and keep my files there. Is this the right procedure and right line of thinking? What do I need to do to make this happen? Can you give me very easy steps to follow like a,b,c or 1,2,3?

Fast charger came with mine!

I got DJI Mavric Pro 2 with Smart Controller and fly more pack. last month. Still haven’t used it yet. I been using DJI free online tutorial with my controller to get the hang of it. Still nervous as this is my 1st drone. Thanks for sharing and all information I can learn is good.

I wish they would make a battery eliminator or APU...( Auxiliary Power Unit) You could plug this into the wall and make all your ajustments and calibrations without having to run your battery down.

Great video! But when flying you might want to face your antennas down so the flat part is facing your Quadcopter...

Another reason to buy smart controller (or stay away from DJI altogether) is the fact that tabletsDJI Fly app doesn't work with MOST Android phones or tablets!
