DJI Air 2S - A "Binding Conundrum" Question

Questions & Answers
1

I am confused about the “binding” criteria for my Air2S and could do with a little help understanding it?

Until I got my RC Controller I had been using an Android based tablet to run the FLY app for my Air2S. When the RC Controller arrived and I completed the setup process I got the message about binding it with my account and the controller, which I duly did.

It seems that doing this will, to quote from DJI;

Binding an aircraft with an DJI account means the owner of the account has ownership of the aircraft.

Binding the aircraft with the remote controller records the linking relationship between the aircraft and the remote controller.

If a flyaway occurs, only the owner of the bound account can apply for the flyaway replacement service and produce the flyaway report with the bound remote controller to mark the aircraft as a flyaway."

That’s fine, but I am sure that as part of that process I got a warning about not binding with other controllers, or the number of times you could re-bind with the controller.

Here’s why I am asking.

I used to use Litchi on my Android tablet to fly waypoint missions, I can’t do that with the RC Controller because we are not allowed to install apps on this device (and I am not about to fork out all that cash for the “Pro” version).

I miss not being able to fly using Litchi as I was really getting into it.

So I am wondering what the consequences will be of try (occasionally) to switch back to the Android tablet and then back to the RC Controller when I am not using Litchi. Is this possible given DJIs requirement for binding to a controller or will it eventually (after whatever number of rebinds) just f*&k me up and declare that I am now permanently bound to a single controller.

Anyone have experience with this issue please?

If it’s of any use, and the way I understand in basic, is, which ever controller I use, when I swap over, the controller tells me to bind the controller to my account, or just have another 4 goes without binding.

All I’ll do in any case, is bind it to my account, so I’m covered by care refresh. But for the most part, I only use my RC pro for the 2S and m3p,and never really switch about.

The bind to the controller is just for the Fly away issue and care refresh, if you start up the app and connect the bound controller without the drone you can claim the fly away

This cant be done with an unbound controller (test it)

So when using Litchi if you want the Fly away coverage then use the fly app first to bind and then use Litchi to fly :+1:
