the smart controller is what pushed me to buy the Mav 2. I had decided not to, but the package with the smart controller just looked too good.
Im totally happy with the upgrade.

Me as well.  I'd volunteer, but risking the loss of the M2ED to help them debug something with the new controller is a bit more risk than I am willing to take.  But I'll certainly test the ability to load the PILOT app, and run through the features that might not involve too much active flight.

That being said, I will still offer to test the ability to load the PILOT app, connect to the device, and run through the features that may not require extensive flight time.

I got a confirmation mail, "Thank you for joining… We will review your application within three business days". However, when I check in Assistant there is no new firmware. Perhaps I was not chosen, or they have not released the beta firmware yet.

I had to chuckle when I saw this offer... sounds like a Willy Wonka deal to me, but then think about it.. aren't we already doing this? -beta testing.

IF!.. they were to give me a new virgin device free of charge, THEN!.. they may get an unbiased opinion from me -I would lean slightly in their favor because of the obvious. Let us know how it goes, mine is still in the box with the warranty trickling away.

It would help to know what is in the beta test.  Since I have a Mavic 2 Enterprise, unless the beta includes DJI Pilot App and compatibility with my UAV, then there is no point...

It would help to know what is in the beta test.

For more than reason you mentioned.  Few that quickly come to mind.
Is there an associated risk?  In this case, possible loss of M2E.  Or a bricked Smart Controller.  Downtime.
Should beta-ware cause loss or damage, who is responsible?  As in who pays what and how much.  Consideration when a business is involved.
Can beta-ware be removed and Smart Controller revereted to current firmware by tester?  Knowing some DJI firmware did not allow downgrades.

I may be wrong but can’t help but assume that as long as people keep doing this for free, DJI will seldom if ever give out freebee’s to beta testers.  Wouldn’t you feel better if an actual BSEE were testing our software releases?

1/ you cannot apply for beta testing as SC does not work with Enterprise so unless you own a pro2 or zoom it’s not going to effect your enterprise.

Having done many beta programs, never known one to brick anything, support for beta users is pretty good and I for one have never had a problem.


Beta FW is always reversible and new FW can be added, if you are flying professionally then it makes no sense to put your livelihood at risk. I don’t believe anyone with any savvy would even think about that one.

Hopefully this beta process when finished will help ME compatible with SC .

Beta testers have always received dji credits so I presume it will be no different here.
