Hi Randy! I took your and Stacy's DJI Aerial Photography Academy class in Pittsburgh last year. I thought it was an outstanding class! I have the Mavic 2 Pro with the Smart Controller. I followed Kerry's instructions from this awesome video and everything (install and setup wise) went smooth as butter! Pilot PE displays the correct "Mavic 2 Pro" at startup, and I was able to create a custom camera setting (thanks to the replies to this video). The only issue I've found is when I run the Pilot PE, the altitude reads only in meters. Even switching all of the setting I could find to Imperial (it does display MPH), but it still shows altitude in meters. Have you or anyone you know tried using Pilot PE with the Smart Controller? I was hoping to do some very simple mapping... if I'm using the correct term. I'd like to use Adobe Lightroom to stitch the images together the way you taught us in class to create a single image of an outdoor shooting range. Just an image, no data or info is needed. Thanks in advance for any thoughts you may have!

You can also side load the Google's Playstore for android onto the smart controller and have access to other apps that will run on android onthe smart controller, such as Litchi which will also fly your drone and others. There are KZread videos out there that walks through how to install the Google play store. Side note - DJI doesn't support this but it works - and DJI at one of their shows some years ago had the play store loaded on one of their own smart controllers whether it was an official instal from them or installed by one of their employees I don't know, but it still works with no problems.

I did a work around by manually flying my Mavic 2 Pro and doing a timed photo at 1.5 seconds. Uploaded to my DD account and it worked fine. Only downside is the manual vs automated flight. Upside is I was able to make multiple pics of high interest areas for better resolution.

Glad that worked for you. How did you calculate the flying speed and route to get the proper overlap?

Thanks for some great content but unfortunately DJI in their terrific wisdom stopped supporting the Pilot PE app and it will not connect to or show maps on the Mavic 2 smart controller.

Brilliant, thanks very much. William.

Great video...Thanks for posting!

Hi there! Thank you for the video it was really usefull. I'm thinking of buying a mavic 2 pro and i'm so confused on which one to get ( normal controller or smart) i'm gonna be using it mainly for Surveying/mapping. I did alot of research and was impressed with the smart controller but then i saw all the problems with not being able to use the smart controller for mapping. I just want you to confirm that this method fully works and its tested on a mavic 2 pro. Thank you in advance!

Once again thanks for your help

Thanks for excellent tutorial! Cheers!

Beautiful tutorial ! Thank you!

Thank you guys. Informative video. Anything yet for the mini 2? I would love to use the mini 2 to do mapping.

So helpful, thank you. I am going to be mapping a coral reef in Australia and I have done everything you suggest. I have the app on my SC but because it is a small island it is not showing up on the mapbox map and so I can't see it to plan my missions. I wish I could upload a georeferenced map into the DJI Pilot and work from there.

Do you know where I can find a video that shows how to use DJI's Pilot PE app? I'm having difficultly finding one.

Brilliant! Cheers!

I use DJI Pilot with the smart controller and a mavic 2 pro. It's a great combination, but... it's so annoying that you can't set a take off altitude and survey altitude separately, e.g. take off at the top of a hill, and fly a grid lower down the hill. Would also be great if there was some form of terrain awareness, even if that was only to manually input heights for corners of the survey polygon.

Excellent tip!!

Very informative! Thanks! Two questions however we experienced. #1 Even though with Custom Unlock done by DJI, it still not able to fly in control airspace as there is no option to import the Unlock License from Pilot PE. It does on Pilot and GO4. We have Pilot PE V1.8.0pe. #2 on the top right of the screen, left of the 3 hori bars/lines icon, the Signal Strength icon has is "Stop Sign" on it. Why and what is it means? Thanks very much for your input.

Amazing! Thank you!

Excellent. Thanks.

Hi. Just wondering, when i setup my mapping mission, the Mavic 2 pro is not available, only the enterprise and zoom ( also p4 p4rtk etc). Can i just select one of the other mavic 2 options / enterprise or zoom?

what do you mean by 'enterprise'? I have the Mavic 2 Zoom but I don't think it's an enterprize. ... can I use my zoom for mapping?

Thank you so much

Thanks for being on KZread!! That’s been the million dollar question for me “how to get apps on the Smart controller.” Because mapping is looking really friggin cool!! A little less expensive question: What the fastest way to get vids/ pics off the Drone to an iPad Pro? EDIT: “PE” means “Private Edition” That’s wut the app told me anyway 😬 Edit again: works great! Thanks!!!

I was able to install the Pilot PE app, but for some reason it wont connect to WiFi while in the app, so I cant see any maps. Any idea why the Pilot PE app wont connect to wifi while its running?

Hello am new to all of this i just picked up a dji smart controller like the one in your video, am currently flying a mavic air 2 and mavic 2 enterprise dual , am flying with dji fly app, i want to start mapping but am having a hard time downloading a apk app , my question is what app would you recommend so i can fly mapping missions and how do i download these apps to my dji smart controller

is it work for mapping with mavic 2 pro?

This is a great video. The only question I have is, if I'm flying the Mavic 2 Pro or Zoom, do I need to change the camera to "custom" or can I keep it on Mavic Dual settings? When the app boots up, it shows proper aircraft.

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 ?

Just an update... When you run the app on the smart controller and choose the mapping mission flight option, you specify the camera type and there is no option for the mavic pro 2 only the zoom. This happens even though the app shows it is connected to the pro 2 when it first starts. Someone else brought this up in the comments as well. Any updates how this can be corrected?
