Limitations

• G3 and O3 work only with Remote Controller 3 (RC3).
• G2/Integra and O3 work only with Remote Controller 2 (RC2).

This update enhances convenience for DJI FPV pilots, though some compatibility limitations remain.

Unlocking FCC Mode on Avata 2

To enter FCC mode on the Avata 2, third-party paid apps like Drone Hacks or Drone Tweaks, which modify the original DJI Fly App, are typically required. However, there's also a free method to unlock RF power using the "ham file."

Steps to Unlock RF Power:

1. Obtain the file "ham_cfg_support." from zip archive - Download
2. Unzip the file to the root directory of the SD card. (can be hidden after unzip - you need to enable display of hidden files)
3. Insert the SD card into the DJI Goggles 3.

Enjoy!
