    Bizarre issue with Smart Controller?

    The thought had occurred to me, yeah. If it happens again I'll probably rope a co-worker in to get a video of me one-handing it so there's no possibility of "oh you just held the other stick down" and they can see the on-screen height dropping/rising along with watching the drone in the...

    Bizarre issue with Smart Controller?

    No worries, hope it helps! I haven't looked into the Lite series to provide much useful comment, but it seems like the Nanos were kind of panned as being not so great compared to the sub-250g DJIs. Outside of company use, I try to stick to sub-250g drones to avoid all the registration and RID...

    Bizarre issue with Smart Controller?

    No worries! I've seen some horror stories around here but aside from them making us pay for shipping I don't have any particular complaints about their customer service process.

    Bizarre issue with Smart Controller?

    Yeah, I tried calibrating the joysticks, no luck. I think the only thing left that I can try is if there's some kind of factory reset procedure for the controller - otherwise it seems like it has to be an issue with the physical device and not anything in the software.

    Bizarre issue with Smart Controller?

    I've been flying an Evo II Pro V3 in a commercial capacity for about nine months now without any trouble, but this last week it picked up a really bizarre issue where it would randomly drop about 10' when I'd try to move right with no other control input. I could catch it and get it to hold...
