Oh - you want a response? Ok: There are "plenty" of complaints of the processor being underpowered. The footage is jerky and not smooth likely because it is a 5-6 year old underpowered processor that can't handle the needs of the software. Even if it is 64bit (which I'm not convinced it is). DJI charges $800.

*Some* people may be lucky and not see the poor performance and be happy with it. Maybe you find it works perfectly with your Mavic Pro Platinum and Mavic Pro? But plenty of others won't. Not to mention the range is significantly worse. Sounds like a great choice to spend $800 for outdated technology! That's why Henrik's video was actually fair and accurate. Look at the comments on it.

You are not convinced its 64 bit?   Care to explain how a 32 bit SoC would run a 64 bit OS and 64 bit apps?

I'm trying to be as factual and objective as possible here, and state what appear to be the strengths and weaknesses of the Smart Controller.  But, at this point, you aren't open to a discussion, because you don't seem to understand this stuff, or want to talk about actual, not debatable facts.  The architecture isn't an opinion.  It's simply a fact.  So, since you are still "not convinced"  try explaining this (which is directly from my smart controller)

Ok -That is evidence. Correct! But so is every point I made:   Again: I'll quote: There are "plenty" of complaints of the processor being underpowered.

Oh - and in terms of screen brightness - most modern phones and tablets offer more than sufficient nits and are more capable. Unquote
How *is* that "recount" going, btw?

Having said that - here is data on the processors - on the RK3399 package that the "Smart RC" uses. 28mm fab.

That’s so funny, "how can you do precision work". There was nothing precise or finesse about that flying. It seems before you start you want it to fail and thats how you fly. Maybe its an issue with your controller. So this is all about clickbait….

Why is it when you post on this thread and some others you are adamant there is no problem because YOU don't have one!
My SC exhibits the same problem. Its dangerous to use, particularly for newbie people as it locks up and/or lags during flight!
I'm not sure why you post your BS here on this thread!

Because he's a massive shill and tool.  Even if he had this very same problem he would likely lie and say there is no issue on his end because he is a shill. His logic is that "plenty of people paid $800 for this underpowered controller and have no problem. So even if plenty of people paid $800 and have this problem, everything is fine."  The guy is a genius!

If you have a problem go check it with dji, why come here to attack me, there are plenty of others who don’t have problems. Do you think you have some exceptional privileges that only people like you can post. A bit ignorant that. Fact is there are many using SC just fine and low and behold they have opinions.
Enlighten us on what you’re doing about it, anything to add apart from whining. Remember dji have said SC is compatible and many users agree with that. So maybe contact them or post your difficulties instead of wasting your time attacking other views.

Man, this has really derailed.. Anyway It’s really strange that some are seeing this and others are not. One of my friends (he downgraded to 1.4.0) and he gets video lag like 50/50.. This makes me hope this can be fixed in software, and right now it’s just a compatibility glitch between O2/O3.

I was hoping by reaching out to @arizonamavicflyer that he would share his APK of 1.4.0 so we could figure out if this solved the problem on my unit giving a clue to what is going on, as the current version of 1.4.2 that I’m running only made it worse. The 1.4.0 APK’s I could find online will not install on my controller, it says the package is corrupt

There have been claims that my testing is bad, and I’m aware there were maybe a few questionable things in the first video, but I have made 2 follow video’s where I have taken peoples advice and the result is the same, the video feed performance is really unacceptable for an $800 device. It's hard to say how many have the issue, but there are remarkably many comments below my videos, more than usual when I’m making videos about an issue

hallmark007 Posted at 5-19 14:31
That’s exactly it, and it works really well for me also.

This is more of your garbage right here!
It works fine for you so it seems you are implying no one else should be having any problems.
As for testing and pointing someone to a video one of your friends did and criticizing Henrik's is a joke!

Real testing according to you should be done in a lab.

Like I said your BS is ammusing!

Once again this has descended into name calling. And once again I'll say I have the SC, running with an Air 2S without issue. Henryk, who is a self proclaimed DJI expert, apparently doesn't know how to delete 1.4.2 from his SC, and doesn't know it will automatically be replaced by 1.4.0 which works fine. I am not in denial here. Some people are clearly having problems with their SC. Some people claimed, without any knowledge, that the SC wa on a 32 bit operating system, when in fact's it's a 64 bit device and the Fly app is 64 bit.

I think those who are having issues need to file a warranty claim with DJI or wait for updated software. 1.4.2 was a mess, and should never have been offered on the SC. It's hard to believe it was tested. DJI seems to be aware of this and I'd expect an update soon. On the other hand, my SC keeps suggesting I update to 1.4.2 which I know doesn't work, and DJI is rather stupidly asking people to update to software that will cause users major issues.

I'm really happy with my recently purchased SC. It does what I wanted it to do. I'm not seeing laggy performance, and the screen is brighter than my iPhone 12 Pro Max. But let's stop the name calling and for those with a dodgy SC please press DJI for a solution. I have 2 other friend with SC's, and they are happy too. One is using it with an Air 2S. That's not a large data base, but clearly it is working for some, not for others.

This should not be an emotional issue. But to some it is, with people questioning each other's motives. Sheesh!

I have never said I know everything, on the contrary, it’s you that keeps calling me all sort of stuff, and I'm fine with that :-) I’m always open to learning something new with an open mind from people that can keep their manners.  

Apparently, you didn't know either until you got help from someone from this very same forum: https://forum.dji.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=243061

What do you have to back up your credibility, now you are so busy talking down to me and others here in the forum?

I never implied that no one else had a problem, but from what I know about you is you come here to whine, in fact I think all your posts are whining complaining crying , I’m beginning to think you're not in this for the flying at all, maybe get out there and try it , it might not be as tough as you think.

I do stand by the test being crap , and he admitted that himself and thats why he had to do it 3 times and he still wasn’t sure he got it right.

So quit your own BS get out and try flying , at least you can come back with some experience and maybe less whining….

Lol, you can explain something to people but not understand it for them :-)  

Doing the test 3 times was actually listing to peoples concern (even if I’m accused not listening to people that disagree with me) that last one was to disprove the lame video from anther thread piggybacking on my original videos trying to present a magic fix on a controller that did have the issue.

But you people like to criticize without coming up with actionable suggestions

"I'm really happy with my recently purchased SC".  

Well, you had no problem plunking down $800 for a 5-6 year-old-chip in a 3 year old controller that is old by any standard.
32 or 64 bit - it is fundamentally underpowered. It can't even run waypoints in Litchi properly on the M2 series because it doesn't have the processing ability to keep up. Watch the screen jerkiness there! The developer himself says "The Smart RC doesn't have the processing power to run Litchi Waypoints in anything other than standard resolution" - it is too jerky.

Seems to me you might be a little biased based off your recent purchase ;)

You should run along now, you come here . You don’t own a drone “never have” you’ve been TROLLING this forum and it members for over 4 years. Get a drone first instead of the 10 accounts your trying to run here. Everyone now knows who you are why your here. Nobody wants a stalker.

Just so members know.

1/ he doesn’t own and never has owned a drone
2/ He’s been trolling this forum for over 4 years
3/ has been BANNED for life on many occasions for trolling members.
4/ He steals other members photos to pass off as his own
5/ he doesn’t and never has owned a SC. Just mor trolling
6/ He spends most of his days making nuisance phone calls to other members
7/ Has trolled members on other social media sites “now banned from many of those”
8/ at this moment he has more than 6 ACCOUNTS operating on this forum
9/ its almost certain he will be banned before the week is out
10/ while writing this post he has made 5x nuisance phone calls to my mobile phone.

Proof below of the idiots nuisance phone calls from the US to Ireland . These are the lengths trolls will go to .......

Now he becomes unleashed, unwinded, and TRIGGERED again.

Just so members witness themselves.
1-10: False. It’s not hard to refute that intellectual “tour-de-force”.   I guess he wants to flatter himself.
How is a pic of unknown caller ID some sort of “proof” of “anyone particular” calling him from anywhere particular?  

What a clown.
The man trolls himself. That’s a remarkable achievement.

Precisely. Most threads he jumps in go South. Feel free to ask him about his "knowledge of cell towers transmitting GPS data to DJI drones".   

He won't volunteer that, nor will he address that. His meager technical knowledge is far superseded by his insanity, rantings, and rank stupidity.  
Henrik - be careful. He can impress you with his incredible piloting skills and his incredible subscription base

This is foolish. My credibility, if it important to you, is that I fly with the SC and it works. Unlike you, I did not put out a headline that people should not buy the SC on the flimsiest of evidence. Some are having trouble. Some are not. It was irresponsible.

As a guy who makes weekly videos you fancy yourself as an expert, but I have seen much misinformation and opinion that was not a fact.

Yes, I can learn form the forum. I haven't had an SC more than 6 weeks, so I had to learn about it. I did not put out a bunch of clickbait like you did. Case closed.

I guess you are the kind of guy who pays this year's prices for last year's models. (Or 3 year-ago models). A Smart RC proudly purchased for $800 now as it is coming to the end of it's life is an interesting choice. Do you purchase 2019 cars at 2021 prices?

I’m not discussing anything with you , but you feel you have to continually be putting you foot in your mouth. Your not here to tell others what they can comment on , you’re behaving like a Fish wife except that’s probably insulting the fishermen’s wives . But go away from me go fly you air 1 it obvious you don’t own a SC or any other drone. Start with flying and then go annoy somebody else. If you have a point come back and lets hear it.

I think Hallmark is the real troll. He likely wrote“dozens” of messages to the mods “begging” them. Must have taken hours of his plentiful  time.
Anyone who would buy the Smart Controller now is running a fool's errand.

Your going to have to stop making nuisance phone calls , they now realize at work just how obviously mental you really are. I mean who has the time to make more than 40 nuisance phone calls everyday. And quit sending Vile PM’s . You really need some serious mental treatment.

“For those who may not be aware NGC is just another account for the BANNED idiot Meanderthal, he now spends his days making nuisance phone calls to a number of mine he somehow got hold of .

Just so people are aware NGC reply in the last minute, 16 nuisance calls.

The issue is real and all suggestions to fix it fails because the are mainly suggested by people that don’t have the issue.

This is from last evening following the advice downgrading to 1.4.0 from 1.4.2 and made a factory reset
