Need new firmware for AIR 2s
Is there new updates and compatible firmware for mavic AIR 2S?Charm608
Awesome, but watch out for notifications!
I just flew a couple test missions, using my Mavic Air. Like many; I am waiting for DJi Air 2S support.
I must say however that I am very impressed! I set up a mission to fly over a local school (it’s Saturday and nobody is around) and found the UI real easy to navigate.
The drone flew its mission admirably, nice bell sound as each waypoint was reached, and it returned home when done! Quite nice!
Near the end of my mission a notification came through and I accidentally tapped on it. 😱 the result was Copterus lost the drone and guess what - it LANDED right where it was, in the school field! Fortunately it reconnected to the remote controller, and After a few frantic taps on the fly command and it launched and returned to home on its own. 😎👍🏼 But the whole time I could not tell what the drone was doing: the app was essentially frozen, but the remote did the RTH beep, so I just waited patiently. 😬 It wasn’t until I looked at my flight logs that I saw where it landed, took off, and returned!
Word of advice: turn off notifications when flying a mission! Maybe even turn off cellular data!
The only thing I would like is automated camera/gimbal focus. It would be nice if I could set a ‘Point of Interest’ (For example, the school building, or a baseball Diamond) that the drone would remain pointed towards while flying. I know gimbal pitch may not be easy but general direction would be much better than trying to control this manually, you can, but it will never be smooth…
In all - I am VERY impressed & am telling my friends! 😊Show lessBraino07
Hey Dev, any AIR 2 S update planned later?
This app is packed with features, and can’t wait to use with my Mavic Air 2 S if there becomes an update available later down the pipeline. Have several others I know waiting to get this app as well and are just waiting it out until it supports the A2S. Hope it will be possible! This app rocks!@TXLSA.DRONE
Magic Air 2S not supported
Purchased app and found that the newer Air 2S is not supported. Kind of bummed, but I get that it is a pretty new drone. Looking forward to an update!dydrone
Terrific App, Delivers as Promised
I’ve been using this app for a couple weeks now with my DJI Mavic Air 2 and it appears to work seamless. I have flown a number of missions with a manual polygon made using this app, and a handful of missions with a polygon that I exported directly from google earth as a KML and they both work very well.
Only one small glitch that I have noticed is I keep getting a caution notification that the batteries are not installed properly in my flight controller while the drone is mid flight. The error claims that this will prohibit the drone from taking off, but the drone is already in the air mid mission. It doesn’t seem to have any effect on the actual missions itself, it just keeps me on my toes making sure I’m consistently reviewing the status list.Show lessBobbles16

Thanks for the review! That battery error is MA2 firmware bug which rarely happens and it doesn’t affect on the flying. Hope DJI will fix it soon.Great mapping app
Flew my first mission and it was a little windy but the data collected provided a good mosaic using ArcGiS pro.
Flew second mission on calm day and used ArcGIS Pro to mosaic imagery. Results are excellent. Digital Terrain Model match perfectly with the mosaic image.
Compared mosaic image results to Florida DOT ortho aerial maps and the mosaic map matched perfectly.
Then compared the Florida Lidar elevation maps to the Digital Terrain Model map. There was a slight constant bias, but besides that the elevation matched. The elevation bias was due to the elevation reference between GPS reference and Lidar elevation datum reference.Show lessCrapy software

Thanks for your feedback! The app is being constantly improved and I have ArgGIS integration in my todo list, so feel free to send your features wishlist to support@copterus.appFive stars once Mavic Mini missions are supported! (Now they are!!!)
Love the app, though I feel it’s lacking functionality without support for the Mini and others
Edit: 5 stars, love the update!untaken_review_nickname

Thanks for the review. Mini missions and Air 2 support is available in beta-test version. Please email me to support@copterus.app to get instructions on how to download beta. UPDATE: done )Creating a pre planned route
This app is no good for creating a pre planned route using NZTM 2000 map grid.raparapahoe
Developer Response
Sure, the default coordinate system is WGS84. Apple Maps doesn’t support NZTM2000 and I guess your drone also flies in WGS84 ) The solution for this is not really straight forward, but it can be done with KML import. 1. Create KML using your favorite mapping software which supports NZTM2000 2. Export it to WGS84 coordinates 3. Import KML to the app
