A compatibility issue or a bug is preventing DJI apps from performing as intended on the Google Pixel 6 series, leading to some DJI devices becoming virtually unusable.

Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro owners have reported that the latest versions of the DJI Fly and Mimo apps currently suffer from an issue that prevents live previews from displaying at all. Instead, all the users get to see is a black screen. The controls and other elements are still visible and work as intended but the live image fails to show up completely.

For DJI drones, the issue is a dealbreaker considering Pixel 6 owners are left with no way to see from the POV of the drone and thus control it accordingly. Framing a shot or marking a target becomes impossible too. Action 2 or Pocket 2 owners, on the other hand, are a little better off in this regard as the issue is only an inconvenience that makes it harder to get the best possible shot.

Android Police has confirmed that the DJI Fly app works just fine on Pixel 4 XL running Android 12. Therefore, it isn’t difficult to establish that the issue is indeed an incompatibility problem affecting the Pixel 6 series, likely due to the new Tensor chip.

There is no error. It just shows a black screen instead of the video feed. See all the responses in the community threadhttps://t.co/RyEl2kDsOT pic.twitter.com/F1TYCmAQpV

However, there are also some complaints suggesting that the issue may also affect the Galaxy S21, although it could be possible that something else is at play in this case.

Regardless, in view of the ever-increasing complaints on DJI’s public forum, moderators have confirmed that it’s a known issue and that DJI is working to fix the issue. Also suggested was to use devices other than the Pixel 6 series in the meantime.

In November last year, DJI Innovations unveiled its smallest handheld camera gimbal – the DJI Pocket 2. The company is now set to release another version of this portable gimbal. The upcoming version will sport a white paint job and will be unveiled in China at 9:30 a.m. on July 8.

An official poster of the Pocket 2 White version has been shared by the company. The picture shows clearly that the white version is way more attractive than its black counterpart despite the two having entirely the same design.  The product will likely be very popular with female folks.

Apart from the new white coating, this version is similar in all aspects to the black-colored Pocket 2. t retains the compact and portable design of the black version. As a reminder, the Pocket 2 has an overall dimension of 124.7X38.1X30mm and weighs only 117g. It has a built-in 875mAh lithium-ion battery. Under 1080P video shooting, the battery can last up to 140 minutes which is super impressive.

The device adopts DJI’s advanced gimbal stabilization technology. This allows users to hold it with one hand without fear of shaking and with a guarantee of a stable video shoot. At the same time, the hybrid focus 2.0 technology is fully upgraded to support 8x zoom, and you can shoot details without being close to the subject.

The Pocket 2 is equipped with the Sony IMX686 sensor that is found on flagship phones. The camera has a 64MP sensor with 1/1.7 inches pixel size, and supports 4K/60fps video.

We expect the company to retain the pricing of the Black variant on this White version. The pricing starts at $349 white the Pocket 2 Creator Combo with more accessories is priced at $499.
