- I have used DJI's pro controllers and the RC Controller for my Mavic 3 Pro is just as powerful. This controller has exceeded my expectations and I will not part with it. I just hope DJI doesn't catch on that they made the BEST cost effective smart controller for new and veteran flyers.

The RC Pro is far superior in many ways, for mavic 3 complements it well and should have been standard with both the regular and cine. It is overpriced, but as others have said you get what you pay for. For the Mini 3 pro then it's a no brainer to get with the rc controller.
Can you elaborate please?
The pro is better than the rc. But it ain't 4 times better lmao. You paying $1200 for a controller. You can get a mini 3 pro with rc controller and a used mini 2 with n1 controller for the same price as 1 stupid rc pro controller. The real price should have been $499 for the rc pro.
"They gave us the options...." Yeah, but 12 months AFTER the Air 2S came out. I have already stumped up for the RC Pro and I am not interested in stepping back from that, so I shall be just using that in the future. Thanks.
Next RC pro will have O4 trans
Great remote I agree, I have it too. The other thing if you don’t want to get calls with other remotes, there is an option called “Do not disturb”. Pretty much in everyone phone, so you won’t get a call while flying 😀
Don't disagree, but I actually take calls while in flight with my business. For hobbyist, yes do not disturb is great.
Will it work on dji mini 2
The RC N1 is the best,I end to use other apps to fly my mavic, litchi, drone deploy and other mapping apps…iPad mini 6 running mapping apps
The only downside I found is the inability to sideload Litchi. Waypoints went by the wayside!
RC N1 😎
Agreed. I just picked up one of these when I purchased a new Air 2S, coming from an Air 2 with the smart controller, and it is worlds better! The price is just a bonus;)
Good to hear your opinion. I wasn’t keen on the RC, happy with my other controllers. But eventually I bought one to see what all the fuss was about. Big surprise. Everything you said is spot on. I now use it all the time. 🤗
Thank you! If there is a difference in range it’s very little. The new rc2 controller is rated even further in range and for the $300 range that’s pretty good.
The downside to this controller is the inability to load apps. The controller accepts a SD card so memory should not be an issue. It would be a great improvement if DJI would allow side loading apps.
Great Video !! You do a Great Job explaining everything !!! Grabbling this bad boy
i stumbled upon your channel looking at some of these rc controller opinions. So cool to see that you are so close to me! Marquette is a beautiful town!
The RC has some benefits for sure. Price, weight, etc, but unfortunately it doesn't have rtmp livestreaming ability. The Pro does, as well as the mobile app when using the cheap RC-N1.
I understand not everyone livestreams, but for those that do, this is a deal breaker.
Great video, a lot of sense here. I bought the Mini 3 Pro with the DJI RC controller recently a I already have an Air 2S so as you said I can use it for both of these drones now. My brain tells me I need a Mavic 3 Classic so that I can use my DJI RC for all 3 of the drones supported by the DJI RC. My brain does like to cost me money though!
My brain costs me a lot of money too. If I didn't already have the mavic 3 I would do the classic and save the money. I rarely use the Tele lens.
@@JaredHoyman My brain has made me keep my Mavic Pro, Mavic 2 Pro, Phantom 4 Pro Plus V2, Air 2, Air 2S and still buy a Mini 3 Pro with DJI RC. Every one of the drones has the fly more kit with bag, charge and 3 batteries and yet still my brain says "Get yourself a Mavic 3 Classic you need more drones"
@@pipnmaz If my wife sees your comment I may be banned from making anymore videos. LOL
Great video, I would love to hear more about how you use your Mavic three and the settings you use for real estate.
I use my HDMI out all the time for my Skyzone goggles
Then the Pro makes sense.
Awesome video. Very informative.
They say DJI RC is not smooth as RC N1 or RC Pro because the processor is the lowest grade. In 2.4Ghz restricted area, the range is 1km shorter than N1 and RC pro.
bravo. superb vieo-work~catch you later,))
I am still new to this controller and still figuring things out but it appears that the only way to get stored media files off of the controller (and also the drone) is to fiddle around pulling the micro SD card out, putting it into an adapter, plugging that into a card reader and plugging that into the computer. If that is correct, i.e. that there is no other way to access the files for editing and/or any other kind of management like efficiently batch deleting or creating sub folders for longer term organized storage.
The exact same thing applies to the files on the drone itself. And frankly it doesn't make sense to me that DJI could produce such a refined system in every other way and only be left with cell phone functionality for managing data.
The other thing I would be interested in knowing is if there is a way to TURN OFF every video and photo file being produced by the drone and stored on the drone's SD card ALSO being duplicated on the controller and have to fiddle around with clearing those files out manually from the controller.
The copy on the controller is a cache file that is lower resolution. I clear those as often as I remember.
Great advice. Thank you!
Fantastic recovery 😁😁😁👌
the video i needed, thanks.
Why don't you actually launch the RC and go through the many settings options?
Not a bad idea.
Thanks for the video 😊. I have a question, I have air 2s and I recently my N1 controller got into sea water and stopped working. I have two options one is the smart controller and the other is RC1 . Which one do u recommend?
I would do the RC1, but if you find out the air 2s works with the RC2 I would do that amzn.to/3ICPA5i
How about all the complaints concerning the brightness of the screen and the loss of signal that happens
These are complaints that I have not experienced but apparently they effect some people. I have not lost signal or had the remote get out of flight mode in a flight and i have flown it over 100 acres of forrest and in city. I've flown in full sun and I didn't have a problem seeing the screen. There have been multiple firmware updates just in the last couple months on the remote so I would be curious if the people who have complained have seen a signal and stability improvement. As someone who came from the mavic 2 smart controller with all the bells and features I would say the RC is more stable, has better signal, no annoying external antenna and is super light. It's obviously not for everyone, but I believe it's for most.
So Jerod nice informational video. I have a DGI maverick pro three I was thinking about a transmitter cause I lost my drone over granddad Bluff earlier this year because of transmission. It was a nice drone it was a DJI maverick to I think but anyway, do you think I should get a transmitter for This drone I have the transmitter or correction I have the remote the same one you were talking about in the video, so what do you think? Should I get a transmitter or not?
This remote will get you further than the mavic 2 but the pro remote does get you further. Be sure to not take off away from your location until the “Home” status is updated. That way if you lose signal it will come back. It’s happened a few times with me and it has come back.
I'm in your position. Thrilled with my M2P and SC purchased in late 2020. It's been the perfect controller. I'm now looking at going with a 3 series and disappointed with how much more they're charging for the RC Pro. My biggest hesitation with the RC is the dimmer screen (700 nits vs 1000 I have now), but I'm also disappointed that they got rid of the of the D controller. Do you miss it? I have mine programmed to point my gimbal down and up quickly b/c I have the gimbal knob set to move it extremely slowly for smoother action while filming, so I need a quick way to look below me when scanning the area.
I use it exactly the same way and yes...C1 moves it right away looking down and click it again it looks up. The solid feel of the nobs of the Mavic 2 Smart Remote I do miss, but I'm pretty happy with this remote. The screen brightness isn't that bad, but I'm usually flying from my car or shade.
@@JaredHoyman thank you I mostly fly at dusk, so I'm usually turning the brightness down, but I'm trying to add more commercial work that happens in the day.
@Mark Kempton I shoot full time and just shot 5 houses today and didnt have a problem. The only thing I miss is the solid feel, otherwise it works great. I can't justify the ergonomics for the price increase. Maybe if they drop it to around $600 or $700.
@@JaredHoyman I really appreciate the insight! I'm leaning toward looking for a used M3 and RC. Not sure I need the middle lens. I'm mostly looking for longer flight times than my M2P now that I'm trying to learn video. When I shot only stills, 20 min at a time was no issue. As I'm learning hyperlapse and following waypoints, I'm running low often.
@Mark Kempton the extra flight time makes a difference. With my mavic 2 pro I would go through 3 batteries I. A day easy and now about 1.5 batteries shooting all day.
700 nits isn’t bright enough under direct sunlight, I can see the screen on my
iPhone 13
Pro max fine at 1000, ( if it doesn’t sim).. 700 just isn’t enough
I think if you are flying in open non-urban areas then you shouldn't find much of a difference between the RC and RC Pro or even the RCN1. Where I see the RC Pro performing better is in areas of higher signal interference, because it has "better" antennae. Even on my MVP2 controller, by moving the antennae it makes a difference when you lose signal. With the RC there is only the internal antennae. Some UA-cam reviewers even put the RC controller behind the RCN1 because of the lack of directional antennae. It all depends on what you need and what type of environment you will fly your drone.
You are right. I have flown 70+ acres of woods and farm with no signal issues. That being said for all my city shoots I have never had a shoot that requires me to fly beyond a mile so I haven't had issues with signal loss. The one difference I do notice from day to day operation is the quality feel of the controls and buttons. That would be the reason I would to the RC Pro. For most people the RC is more than enough.
Its true- the external antennas on the N1 make it for a better receiption when going far or behind building.
Look at how there is already an RC2 with antenna now
I am waiting for an Air 2S + RC bundle, hope it's soon.
I bought this controller through your affiliate link since you helped me to confirm I should buy it. I can fly my Air 2s and my Mavic 2 Pro with my original Smart Controller, however, I really liked the "lighter weight" idea for this one since I am yarding it around with my Camera Backpack! How is that 700nits, is it bright enough??
The 700knits is bright enough for me. I do have brightness on max and no protective glass. I find protective glass adds a darker tone to the screen. Controller should sync well with air 2s.
Regarding the Pro controller , does anyone ever get "logged out" for no reason ??
Several times I have been firing up my pro controller with my Mavic 3 and the controller says "logged out".
It's not that pro when you have no internet service and are unable to log in and fix it ...
That's my only gripe about the "not so pro" controller
The controller Jared has in the video never seems to do that to me ....
I would like to hear if anyone else has that issue too. That would annoy me.
Most excellent sir 👏
Thank you!
I was surprise that the right scroll wheel will not do a smooth zoom. Only hard increments. The RC PRO will do a smooth zoom with the right scroll wheel.
That's interesting. I don't do zooms in vid, but that's good to know for those that do.
@@JaredHoyman While flying forward or backwards you can get interesting parallax effects by using the zoom at the same time. Interestingly you can use the scroll wheel and press fn button to do a smooth zoom on the RC-N1. Funny they provide a scroll wheel for the zoom but it ends up as useless. To change the zoom power it could have been assigned to one of the C buttons.
@BradSloanvideos I wonder if they will ever updatenit with firmware. That's a good point on parallax. I did use that with my mavic 2 pro with smart controller.
How is it in the direct sunlight because I'm about to do my 107 and paths and it was considering considering a controller like that
I have not had issues with bright sunlight on this controller. Screen works well for me.
Used it on this vacation ua-cam.com/video/mUu1vCd9_dc/v-deo.html
You mentioned it works with the Mavic 2 ....I don't think so maby I'm wrong?
I was wrong. Just mavic 3, air 2s and mini 3 pro.
Just wondering if you are sure it will work on air 2? I know it will on air 2 s. Cause it states it on the website. Just trying to get some clarity because if it will work, then I’m going to buy one for my son. Thanks and great video.
No, just air 2s. Sorry.
Does it work on the DJI Mavic PRO ?
The DJI Mavic 3 PRO or just the first one? It works on the Mavic 3 Pro. I don't believe it does on the original, but I'm not a 100% sure.
I have the first one .
Thank you for replying.
I have the Pro and it cost more but it does more. The old rule of the thumb, you get what you pay for.
I don't disagree with that sang at all, but sometimes you get more than what you will need or use. I had the smart controller for the mavic 2 and didn't use most of those features including HDMI out. If you will use them then I say go for the pro. What features on the pro do you use that are not on the RC?
will the remote control built-in screen mini 3 pro work for the mavic air 2s ?
Yes this does work with air 2s according to dji website.
hi Jared !!! i want to ask...is it possible to connect in some way to the RC dji Goggles? Thank you
That's a really good question. I haven't researched that enough. I'm assuming no because no hdmi out, but maybe there is a work around with usb-c.
@@JaredHoyman Thank you for your response!! I own goggles racing black and they are great .. I owned phantom 4 vs2 and I flew with goggles racing .. I sold phantom 4 and bought air 2s .. now I am looking for a controller option for my goggles racing .. dji rc pro is very expensive . smart control is good, but there is ocusynx 2
Hi, can it also be connected to the Mavic 2 pro?🤔
As of right now I don't believe there is a firmware update to allow it to.
700 nits brightness is just a joke, my smartphone has 4750nits.
And u said no glare? Come on....
So I understand you correctly the RC works with Mavic Pro 2
It does not. It works with mavic 3, mavic 3 pro, air 2s and mavic mini 3 pro. It may with future firmware but not right now.
Dude,this RC works with Mavic 2 Pro?
Could you make a vídeo of how to connect it with the M2P pleeeasseee,thanks.
I was wrong on mavic 2 unless there was an update. Sorry!
Sorry…. The RC only supports the Mavic-3 / Mavic-3 Cine / Mavic-3-Standard / Mini-3 Pro / AIR-2s .
I still keep my old “Smart Controller” around to operate my Mavic-2 Zoom.
It’s not even close to the RC-Pro and RC remotes as far as stability and processor speed in addition to the slower Occusync 2,
but it’s still a Bette option than using a mobile phone.
The one thing I truly miss about the Mavic-2 series drone.
DUAL remote controller operation. You can bind a “master” and a “slave” using 2 controllers?
(“smart controller” and/or standard remote controller included with the Mavic-2…. The one with telemetry screen built-in)
It’s a great way to train new pilots and to use a separate pilot / separate camera operator for Fire Department & Rescue Squad operations.
Does it work on the Mavic Air 2... I'm so confused on which one to buy..
It works on the mavic air 2s.
@@JaredHoyman okay thanks so not mavic Air 2.... guess I'm out of luck

Nah nc1 is less restricted than rc remote, more accessible you just block call no big deal ...THE BIG PLUS IS YOU CAN USE THE ....FCC...PATCH
Nice video…. I still prefer the RC-Pro for one primary reason.
HDMI Output via connector on bottom.
I use the Orqa goggles to view my flights.
AND THAT....would be the exception. I never tried out the goggles on my Mavic 2 Pro smart controller and I was so close to picking up goggles too for them. I flew under a small country bridge a month ago and although I cleared it fine, It would have been nice to know how close I could get.
@@JaredHoyman Ouch!
Bridges terrify me !! 😳
Especially when RTH gets activated when the drone is UNDER the bridge .
LOL
I have had a few “fly always” as of late. All with the Mavic-3 model.
It’s a phenomenal drone and is very well suited for use by small (aka Low Budget) volunteer fire department and rescue squad groups.
I had close to 27 agencies migrate from Autel Evo-2 and DJI Mavic-2 Zoom models.
The Mavic-3 has incredible battery life / telephoto + zoom camera system / Occusync 3 distance and I highly recommend it despite the bis sues we have had as of late.
Then th
@@PowderMill I love my mavic 3 and super impressed with the battery life.
Disagree with not putting a screen protector on.
Depends on the cost of risk. If you drop this controller on cement chances are you will break more than just the screen since the plastic is cheaper. I always use a neck strap and then store in a hard pelican case. I haven't used a screen protector on a phone in yrs, but that reason is a little longer to explain.
I have this remote with my Mini 3 Pro. Love it. It's actually pretty durable. I was flying my drone in some Sand Dunes in Utah and so much fine sand was getting in to the remote I thought it would break. Got a bunch of errors from it - calibration issues, buttons sticking, etc. Got home, used a can of Airspray on it, and remote's back to Normal. What neck strap do you use? I should get one.
A inexpensive one from Amazon. I'll look it up and post it later for you.
@@JaredHoyman waiting on neckstrap info... 😂😂😂
@@rcav8or Sorry...A.D.D. Here are two options. This is one I currently I have and enjoy amzn.to/3VmZqNv If I need to buy one again, I would mind trying out the below one too. amzn.to/3Vk0Nfu
Is the RC compatible with dji Mavic 2 zoom?
I don't believe so. There is a list of compatibility on dji site.
@@JaredHoyman no worries thanks for the reply
At 2:39 you said it's working on Mavic 2. Are you sure?
I was wrong on that one. It's just Mavic 3, Mini 3 Pro and Air 2s. As a Mavic 3 user I would be tempted to pick up the Mini 3 Pro as a backup.
Hard to see the screen under the sun! This is the most the bad thing
I had the Smart controller for the Mavic 2 and the screen was brighter, but for this I haven't noticed a huge decrease. I do typically fly from a shaded area without direct sunlight, but even when I do it hasn't been a problem.
I have both, PRO is better but overpriced.
Same here rc pro is one of the very best to pair on a mavic 3..both features cpu power and range
@@camilo8cheryl Yup
I have just buyed mavic3 classic with this rc rm330. The main problem with this rc is that android is stuck on kiosk mode, impossible to install application, its a shame and illegal. I need weather, maps, drone spot applications,etc , i need a additionnal device(phone or tablet) and we lose main advantage of this rc.
I use this remote the same as I did my old pro remote and it hasnt effected my flying and shooting. Why do you need to access weather on the controller or add any other apps? Gps maps are always updated on the RC as well. If I need android apps outside of flying my drone I would never use my drone controller for them. Your phone is more powerful in running android apps and more convenient.
@@JaredHoyman the rc is powerfull enough to permit install applications. Some applications is very usefull like google maps, checklist, drone spot, live weather forcast, sun surveyor, live sky map(usefull to known trafic in air where you are)... Etc simple application very usefull on mission. If i need my phone or a tablet to have it, rc-N1 is better, this rc rm330 is useless. I am very disappointed with my purchase. and remember that is not legal to sell a product like this, its broke some android license agreement and european rules.
@@ds2kx i can see from your perspective since it slowed your previous workflow then it would be disappointing. The pro controller is right for some, but not all.
@@JaredHoyman rc pro = 980€ its a real joke, price overkill. Rc rm330 can be good if dji unlock possibilities to install third party app, the spec of rc permit this.
Update: i have paid more than 2300€ for full bundle and i can't install a basic applications 😂 thanks dji
I won't agree with you~ a lot of people's experienced after using the RC will criticized its internal built-in antenna was the major weak point, it disconnected with the drone happened usually in a very short distance~ and the screen recording quality is the worst ever~
Yeah, I have never experienced any disconnection over the past 3 months of owning it and I fly and shoot professionally 5 days a week. My smart controller with my mavic 2 would once in a great while. The distance I get with the RC and Mavic 3 blows the smart controller and mavic 2 out of the water. As for the internal recording I have never needed to for clients or wanted to. The only time I could see myself using it is in a tutorial on youtube and at that point it would be quick B footage that I would upscale. It's nothing that is needed professionally. The only feature I could see needed on a set is the HDMI out for a larger display to show a client.
I just saw on the comments that you was wrong😢,whyyyy😭
So so sorry! I wouldn't think it would take much for dji to update it to work with the macic 2 though.
You are clearly doing a paid promotion, you are supposed to tell people, this is not just your opinion, you are over selling it big time, PAID PROMOTION
That is quite the false accusation. As of today I have never been given any products by DJI or been paid by DJI or even been contacted by DJI. No company paid me to make this video and I purchased all my DJI equipment out of my own pocket. When I’m excited about a product and believe it’s a good value I will talk about it. It’s pretty sad when people like you jump on the “me too movement” of tech reviews and accuse others of lying when all you’re going on is a hunch or opinion.
So, AIR 2 can't use them?
Air 2s but not air 2.
