Billy, I FINALLY got the update to work after 3 attempts on my computer, so disregard my request from help an hour ago. Wow...that was a rough update. I would have never been able to figure it out without your post. You are a godsend!
Thanks Billy for your info on the latest firmware updates and show me how to do it. Just got my DJI mavic air 2. Can't wait to get home to download the new firmware to my smart controller.
At 3:45 you mention having the Mini fly with the SC... that not will be possible at it doesn’t use Occusync 2.0. All the drones that can use the SC use Occusync 2.0.
The smart controller does have a WiFi radio on it, so theoretically its possible. Not sure if that wifi radio is connected to the main antennas though.
@@nwadams1 Occusync transmits in the wifi ranges and the kit does have the radio ability to do so but the original MP isn't compatible also. The sensor of the mini could do raw but dji choose not to enable it.... it's all about the market and your products. Why produce the entry level device that has all the bells and whistle when you can segment you market and make more money
have updated but need to re-pair my Mavic zoom every time I switch, I also wished you would have mentioned that mavic Air 2 has no consecutive file numbering, I bought the MA2 based on your review to replace my Air but the file numbering is a deal breaker for me.
Now that's great 👍 😀 I have a crazy question, just incase I want go back to the original controller for the Mavic Air 2 how do you do it. Or is the original controller still usable without reconnecting?
I was just hounding DJI over the weekend about this. When they finally confirmed support was coming, I did not expect it to be 3 days later. This is excellent news, and thanks for the vid!
Quick update: took my Air 2 up for a quick run this morning with the Smart Controller. About five minutes in, screen went black. Power button returned to home screen, and had to reopen app - lost comms for a good 90 seconds. My idle screen timeout is set to 30 minutes (from update fiasco.) Use with caution! Maybe make a point to poke the screen frequently. This is just one report, but I figured it'd be best to share.
My download on my COMPUTER got to 99% twice and the failed with an error! HELP ! I only have the Mavic 2 Pro, so do I still need to do the update? I’m satisfied with the current version;but my controller seems to insist on doing the update. Billy, please advise.
great videos. I lost my smart controller base charger and this is not available at this time. any other charging ways are to slow. can you give me any info on this issue thanks be safe
Hello my friend. I'm new in this, will be buying Mavic Air 2. So, in order to use the DJI Goggles I need to but the DJI Smart Controller right? so I connect the Goggles and the Smart Controller with HDMI Cable. Is it possible to control the Mavic Air 2 Camera movement and tilt (Head Tracking) with the movement of your head using the DJI Goggles? Thank you very much. Sorry if this is a stupid question, I'm learning about this technology.
Hey bud. Can you use apps like Kittyhawk on the SC? Also can you do the Airspace verification process on the SC without cell service? I realized this weekend that I couldn’t do either from my iPad and had to stick my phone into the controller which sucks because I hate flying from that little screen.
Nice video.... Question for you. I have already the Mavic 2 pro and I want to get another drone , which one would you choose between the Mini 2 or the Air 2 ? and why ?
Thanks Billy - and hello from a fellow Philly native :) I managed to set up the Smart Controller on my Air 2, but there seems to be two issues: 1). The return home button on the controller doesn't seem to work (the one on the screen works), and 2) I'm able to take Quickshots, but when the DJI app starts creating the Quickshots (automatically add music/etc.), it would stop at 50% and say "rendering failed". Have you or anyone else run into these issues?
Thanks Billy nice job on the walk through 👍🏽. I had to do a factory reset to get the new update to properly install yesterday on my smart controller I still had to do the update with the DJI assistant like you described and then and re-linked the Mavic 2 pro and my enterprise but all seems to be working well. 👍🏽 glad to see it is a DJI issue with the way they rolled out the update and not a problem with the controller.
Hi Billy thank you for the video tutorial how to update the latest firm software it is really helpful to me.. So, what happen if I dont update the latest software on my smart controller, would it effect my flight or isit necessary for me to update it, if it is then I do need to try again to update it again.. Because I have been trying to update it few days ago and take me hours, still no luck.. Thank you so much really appreciate it Cheers Soelast
Does the HDMI out work with the Air 2? Got a glyph set and would love to use them. Tried a battery powered Apple TV streaming from my phone. Not the best lol.
Hey Billy I watch your all your videos and I'm having a problem with my mavic pro zoom I put the new firmware in and a vision sensor abnormal came up I tried to do the vision sensor calibration on my windows 10 but it downloaded but wouldn't open and when I talked to dji for days they just give me the run a round I'm reaching out to you for help thanks Billy 🙂
Do you get use of that second control wheel on the smart controller with the MA2? It would be nice to be able to choose the left or right wheel to move the gimbal.
@Billy Kyle thanks for creating this video. It was extremely helpful. Since you fly with both the Mavic 2 and Air 2 with your Smart Controller, have you noticed any change in performance or range in any of the drones using the Smart Controller?
Billy the most AWESOME advantage is that the Mavic air 2 now has it's zoom feature on the right scroll wheel.. YaHOOOOOOOOOOO... No more hold the FN button down and scroll (loosing the gimble controls WHILE DOING SO) DUDE IT'S NOW , LITERALLY better then my Mavic 2 Zoom. 👍👍👍👍💙💙💙 MIKEY
I guess a lot of people are going to have trouble with this update due to the clutter on the internal storage, delete all the downloaded fw files these are all the RM500 files and while your there clean out cache and all other clutter, pics vids etc, also remove any sd cards, this will give you a seamless update with the DJI assistant 2
Hey Billy I'm one of your subscribers and I'm reaching out to you I have the mavic 2 zoom and I updated it when the message of "vision sensor abnormal " came up I tried to download the dji assistance app on three different PC's in my home but they all are windows 10 and will not download if there's any thing you can help me with I will be most grateful 🙏 I'm a Philadelphia resident so if you can meet up with me that will be great 👍 I know I'm asking alot of you but I don't have no where else to turn
What about connection to and control of the Air2? I saw a comment that the Smart controller is Android, while the Air2 controller is IOS (with iphone) and that the Android lags and such while flying? Thank you for your videos , concise and informative.
Great video Billy , it took all day for me to do it , and the first DJI tech I spoke to did not know about the update, the 2nd tech told me I needed a male to male usb cable , to plug in at the top of the controller to update it , he then sent me a link to a youtbe video , which showed the small usb cable being used at the bottom of the controller, I finally got DJI assistant 2, and struggled to get the software to recognise the controller, I finally started to update , but my controller went off, it had timed out , and it failed. I then started again, but kept pressing the screen every few seconds, to keep it awake. I warned my friend last night about this, so before updating, he set his screen to stay on for 30 minutes , and he updated fine. Another very confusing bit is the " press the button on the bottom of the aircraft to initiate bonding" when there is no button on the bottom !
@@goodeatn Hi, no , it's the bottom charger socket to the pc, try all the usb ports on the pc, I used one on the back of my pc , then dji assistand 2 found it on the pc !
Great video Billy, straight to the point. Question for you, do you think that when the mavic 3 comes out it will be pair with this Smart controler or a new one?
@@billykyle But they are just making more work for themselves. 2 apps to maintain and update when they very well could have just integrated the MA2 with DJI GO 4 - it's a crazy decision.
Great video Billy! When you pair the smart controller to any DJI aircraft, does that mean that aircraft is "un-paired" to the factory controller? In other words, I know I can pair the Smart Controller to all three of my Mavics but do I need to re-pair my factory controller every time I want to use that one?
The Smart Controller looks great ! But the new smart controller still needs to connect with WiFi from mobile phone, right? If yes, why not just use the original Mavic Air 2 controller?
Mavic air 2 with smart controller. My first flight I lost screen connection at 2,000 feet out and it said disconnected but I could still control the drone by using the mapbox. I could read height and distance, but screen was picture frozen. It then changed my return to home point by 600 feet, so I had to bring it back using the remote location. If I would have ran out of battery or lost connection completely the drone would have landed somewhere else. I think when it lost connection and froze the screen that is where it reset my RTH point. I give it a try tomorrow and see if this is a glitch in the software.
@@billykyle When to a different location and had no problems, did do a complete reinstall last night just to be on safe side.I think it was interference.

If DJI assistant 2 does not seem to recognize your Smart Controller - make sure you're using the OEM cable, because apparently there are power only usb-c cables that are not able to transmit data.
i have the crystal and waiting for them to do the same thing too waiting for them to update ours and they wouldnt and the cdrystal isnt cheap so i wouldnt buy no smart controller
Mine won’t update either method and when I try via Assistant 2 it goes to 99% then the controller beeps, turns off then I get an error message on my computer screen... this is annoying... I even factory reset like 3 times
The screen on my Galaxy note 9 is unbelievably fantastic!! The resolution and quality is second to none. I think it has over 1000 nits and a bigger screen... Connecting a phone to the new mavic Air 2 controller is so easy and quick and you just click on airplane mode no problems no issues.. That's smart controller is so overpriced it's crazy for getting just a little bit more brightness less quality screen and resolution , again with the smaller screen.. But to each his own.... FYI yes I'm a big fan of trying things and returning them and I tried this smart controller before on my different drone. was not impressed at all for the money I returned it my Galaxy note 9 gave me a better experience.. ;)
@@billykyle - yes it did. Now on to solving the next question.... "How do I get a LAANC authorization when using the Smart Controller when it doesn't have AirMap to request the authorization?"
It seems the long I wait the more updated this controller is. What do you mean YOU CAN'T just UPDATE it from WIFI? Why do you have to add an additional step by downloading it into a laptop THEN download it into the controller !!! DJI Are You listening ? When you spend $ 750.00 it should cook breakfast...... I'll wait longer... I have my iPad mini to fly with.
After all the waiting on compatibility for this to work, nobody is showing flying it with SC on UA-cam. My question is , does it justify $745 just to fly with the MA2 against the stock remote if that's the only DJI drone you have. All the hype but not seeing much more on this for as anyone using the Smart C!!!!!. Don't want to waste money.
You are definitely not very good at giving step by step directions when you plug it in and asks you questions about whether you want to charge your controller or, file transfer... you didn't say anything about where the controller should be on or off when you plug it in you should really be more specific.
And this EXACTLY explains why the Mavic Air 2 is not compatible with any of my THREE Android phones OR my tablet, or EVEN my son's brand new Motorola phone! They want us to buy this SEVERELY OVERPRICED controller. Shameful DJI.
@@speedbird737 I already have a transmitter for the Mavic and I2. A good monitor with the Crystal Sky. However, when it comes to FPV the costly SC is unnecessary. I'm waiting for a dedicated monitor from DJI or make the CS compatible, which is unlikely because essentially they've dropped support for it. Perhaps a 3rd party will license and come along with an affordable solution.
This channel should be the gold standard of drone channels. Amazing content, and it generally gets right to the point! Keep doing great things, Billy!
Thanks so much David! I really appreciate it.

Is this still a thing in August of 2023
That's just ridiculous DJI. Hope your next update "patches" this issue. Good info man.

just another DJI overpriced device
This is a great comment bro
@@billykyle nothing personal. a comment based on fact. if you fly FPV you'll better understand.
Try it the smart controller is brilliant
@@speedbird737 I already have a transmitter for the Mavic and I2. A good monitor with the Crystal Sky. However, when it comes to FPV the costly SC is unnecessary. I'm waiting for a dedicated monitor from DJI or make the CS compatible, which is unlikely because essentially they've dropped support for it. Perhaps a 3rd party will license and come along with an affordable solution.
