If you are Big on Long Range, the controller with the least glitching will go the furthest! 1.RCPRO 2.RC-N1 3. DJI RC..... I tested off camera!
Also I'm hearing about disconnection issues 😓
I don't have any issues so far 🤞
I did all my updates on Assistant 2 & I try not to Hover, I keep the Drone moving, maybe it is disconnecting when overheating, I don't know!
Happy Flying 😎
There is absolutely positively no way you can see that drone at 3500 feet away from you You are flying beyond visual line of sight.
@@ke4uyp you can get licensed for beyond visual line of sight etc, extended, night, altitude heck there are a lot you will find you can get after training and licensing
@@Drone-Pilot I guarantee you he does not have said license therefore he must follow these rules.
Part-107
Visual line-of-sight (VLOS) only; the unmanned aircraft must
remain within VLOS of the remote pilot in command and the
person manipulating the flight controls of the small UAS.
Alternatively, the unmanned aircraft must remain within
VLOS of the visual observer.
• At all times the small unmanned aircraft must remain close
enough to the remote pilot in command and the person
manipulating the flight controls of the small UAS for those
people to be capable of seeing the aircraft with vision.
Yes
I had Visual Observer as I mentioned in the video.
@@xavier_arthur I knew you had a visual observer but there's no way he can see 3,500 ft away either.
Rule of thumb with RC coming from an old guy being me, and a retired electronics engineer, the best we found was a 10:1 ratio, 1000ft out 100ft up, 2000ft out 200ft up, 10k out 1k up. I fly my DJI Mini 3 Pro with its stock DJI RC 4000m and at only 70m altitude before signal loss in suburbs close to the city, but I am launching from a verandah that is 200m above the ground level of the city at 4000m away. Everyone is actually missing a very important thing though, and that is the CPU of the DJI RC is hopeless it barely runs the App and screen record without stuttering, why couldn’t they just have selected a better cpu heck they cost nothing to go double the cores and even double the speed
hi great comment, thats my opinion also, nobody with smartphone connected to dji rc n1 never has issue...why?? answer is simple, today smartphones especially ones recommended are beasts compared to dji rc hardware
@@cvrljakromano and unfortunately the processor can’t be swapped out like they use to in the old days so what you get it what your stuck with, that’s probably why they didn’t give us access to the core of the system either because it would probably hang if we install anything. I would have it at a guess that the CPU load with just the app and screen recording will be 90% heck I’ve had 2 scary moments where the app has crashed when I was screen recording and flicking through screens for settings of camera.
I'm guessing DJI had a bunch of the old first generation smart controller chips laying around, and didn't want to waste them.
It was with the 32bit DJI GO4 app, not with the 64bit fly app, at least with my experiences. I'm pretty happy with the performance and price of the DJI RC.
@@cvrljakromano Hope you dont mind the jump in. I just got the M3 and find it very hard to do certain shots like Dollys with N1 remote and my Iphone 13 pro max. I wont even mention Parallax. I did get the RC and find it much easier to get better complicated shots. Eventually ill get the Pro only because i mostly fly in the city and penetration.
I'm a fan of the RC Pro remote and currently own it but you should have tested the first two remotes from outside the darn car, any little thing will after your antenna signal. Not the same conditions for all 3 remotes
That's what I was thinking too, the glass reflecting back does cut the signal.
Right, he could've gotten a much better signal outside the car 🤦
Dji makes that controller work with the Air2S I would buy.
I don't doubt sitting in a metal box distorts the signal lol. Try with clear line of sight, I get far more range with the standard RC.
Very helpful. I have a Mavic 3 with the default controller which is already way better than my previous drone (Phantom 4). Tomorrow my Mini 3 with the “RC Mini” and a RC Pro to go with the Mavic 3 should show up.
I want the mini RC to work with my air 2s hanging out for that man.
Excellent video very helpful. Thank you.
I'm just waiting for an update to use the same controller for the air2s
For 299€ its amazing, i have also both RC Pro and Mini RC and waiting for RC Pro support on Mini 3. The Mini RC Controller done his job good when u stay correctly but when u want to stay more free then use the RC PRO because u can arrange the Antenne like u want. There are also some author benefits from the RC PRO like Download Videos zu Controller and a lot more performance and better maximum nits. But in this test u will show us only the Range test in comparison
I fly with 12.9 iPad is it worth going the RC Pro. You just get a whole lot of screen when flying.
Top-tier drones right there. The new DJI RC is very tempting!!!
Thanks again for an interesting fidelity test?
Yes all the features of the Mini 3 are wonderfull and help me get some great shots and videos. The safety features help me get the drone home in one piece.
I add the Mini 3 Pro to my fleet of Air 2 RCN1 and Air 2S RCPro.
Initially the glitch short range of the Mini 3 maxed out 200m was a concern and with updates now getting 500m in a rural farm setting and my satisfaction level 8 out of 10.
The small form factor of the PACKAGE and ease of use screams bring me every time i go out the door. 😎
Very good video and with dj rc pro whatvis the difference ??
You know I tested flying at the beach with the controller pointing through my window and as long as I had the controller in the general direction as the drone through the glass it didn’t effect range much …it’s kinda nice kicking back in your seat concentrating on the flight and not the wind ,sun,and your feet hurting…but if you point towards the metal in the car then ya it cuts right out ….just ordered one for my mavic 3 so I hope they get it set up for the Air2s soon also ….
I bought the Air 2s bundled with the RC Pro. I'm waiting for when it will bind with the Mini 3 someday.
Me too buddy. Good u asked the question
I have both, the A2S mit RC PRO and Mini 3 with RC, the A2s does do a better job in Videos and Foto. U will see the difference immediately when u look to the pictures or videos. Specially when make Fotos or Video against the Sun.
Nice video comparison but why didn’t you try those 2 RCs outside your car instead, it’s just not fair comparing to the RC Pro oudoor, just IMHO.
Check the video, I did both the RcPro and DJI RC outside with the Mavic 3 💪
Happy Flying 😎
@@xavier_arthur my bad, thanks have to watch the whole video.
I have two working phones lying around, a Samsung S7 edge and a C9 pro, both OLED screen,when I get the Mini 3 pro I get the normal controller so to give the old phones some work to do 😂 as a recreational flyer I guess it's enough for me , if I use the drone for making money I might think otherwise
Smart 🤓
Waste Not, Want Not 💪
Mind almost made up. How many times can you use one remote and switch between the M3 and Mini 3. Im worried about the "BInd" message.
I lost Mavicpro because I can’t see it so I press RTH but it flew nowhere. Can you please explain me. Thank you 🙏
How is the smart controller ?
Hello,
I bought a Mavic 3 recently; it came with the stock RC-N1 controller. I have good range but the flight experience has been disappointing because when I try to manually follow a subject the aircraft is not as smooth as other drones and is very difficult to stay on point.
I have tried over and over to adjust the controller settings to improve this but has not worked. I fly with the Tripltek 8 monitor which to me is one of the best.
I finally figured out there is a millisecond delay when using the Tripltek with the RC-N1!
I set up a test in my house and I can see a visible delay when moving my hand or snapping my finger in front of the camera. This to me would cause the tracking problem when trying to follow a subject because the subject is moving and every action I do is a fraction behind of where it should be.
On the other hand, I have a Mini 3 Pro and I used the DJI RC from that drone and paired it with the Mavic 3. NO DELAY observed!
No one on UA-cam that I know has mentioned this in their videos when making controller comparisons. I think this may be important information if other people are experiencing this.
I'm waiting for the mini rc to be compatible with my air 2s!
You would think that DJI would update compatibility across the line!
Can u do still like the mavic mini
Awesome test Xavier. Gotta have some Rc pro controller in your life!👊🏻👊🏻🤣
Is the brightness of the ‘mini me RC’ that significantly different from the RC pro? Currently contemplating which of the remotes to get and you videos are really helping. Thank you
Thanks man
Hi great video, could you do DJI rc (mini3 controller with screen) range test when you fly behind yourself, reason i am asking this is because my preferred flying spot is practically in hole, i have place in shade where i sit and i fly often behind myself, with mavic pro platinum this was never issue,. Now i bought Mavic 3 and i am pricing DJI rc pro but its price is little bit over my head, now when DJI rc can be used to fly Mavic 3 its price is tempting ,but lately i'v seen few video where it just freezes, all of this is with mini3 ,but it makes me wonder what if..This is only thing what is keeping me off from ordering it and ofcourse fact that it has integrated antennas.
Can you connect a tablet to the DJI RC so that you can have 2 screens like you can with the RC PRO?
Nice! Thanks for the comparison. Would get the RC Pro if I can afford it. But yep, the DJI RC gets the job done!
Very comprehensive comparison man. thanks for sharing bro.
The DJI RC performs well for a more affordable price compared to the RC Pro. Sounds good to me!
thank you very much for your review. I have a mavic 3 with the classic remote control, I would like to buy the new RC because it has a reasonable price but I would not buy RC pro because it costs too much. now thanks to you I have no doubts. the € 300 radio control is exceptional compared to the € 1000 radio control. thanks friend
If DJI ever gets it together and Pairs RC Pro RM510 with Mini 3 Pro, I can sell the "meh" RM330. That was the plan, but DJI is more interested in providing another tier between RC-N1 and RC Pro. Now we have 3 smart controllers, 3 versions of Occusync, you need an interoperability chart to know which work together. RM330 froze every time I flew Mavic 3 with it, letting Mavic 3 fly home like a ghost ship.
so you have tried dji rc rm 330 with mavic 3 aand it freezes?
Someone said to Me Which is better ? Dji Mini 3 pro - RC or RCN1 or RC Pro ? I Am From Bangladesh . Love you all.
Thanks for doing this comparison X. I’m gonna spend the extra money and get the RC Pro for the better signal
That is the trick I want to be able to fly low to the ground I live in the mountains so sometimes it’s tough to fall 150 foot you might not even be able to takeoff but there’s beautiful places that that requires me to be low to the ground my air 2S dose grat 👍🙏😎
Did you shoot this with the DJI Pocket 2?
Thanks!
I think you answered at 1:44
Great test!
Didnt I tell you that DJI would come out with updates to fix the transmission problems. The last thing they want is people like us putting on youtube that their product is inferior.
Your videos are so detailed
Why didn’t U test the RC N1 it would have performed way better than both controllers 😅
Do you have a Smart Controller (Not the Pro) and if so how does it stack up against the new RC Controller?
It has more buttons and features compared to the new dji rc, but in my opinion only worked well with the mavic 2 Pro and mavic 2 zoom, every other drone that came after was very buggy with that controller.
So I would always go for the RC Pro or the new DJI RC over the old smart controller.
@@xavier_arthur THanks for the reply. I have not had any glitches or bugs with the Air 2S. THe Smart Controler came as part of the FLy More Combo. It has 1000 nits and I love the bright screen.
Cool 😊
Happy Flying 😎
You still don't understand the meaning of the compass display (bottom left corner), right...?
NICE VIDEO THANKS!
It would be cool if the Mini RC would work with the Air 2 instead of having 3 controllers for the Mavic 3 and the Air 2s. I guess DJI isn't feeling it though lol.I have waited and hoped log enough so I will sell my Air 2.
Rumors of A2s compatible coming soon 🤞
Can you use the mini 3 controller to fly the mini 1
I believe you can only use the Mini 3 and Mavic 3 with RC controller (Mini 3 controller) with latest update. They may add more models in the future with firmware updates.
good test
Great comparison, something to think about. Another great video
flying from inside the car, you get much shorter distance
Rc pro would be the preferred controller for the Air2s
If you can afford it..... YES 💪
@@xavier_arthur however if you already have a stock controller stick with that until your able to upgrade to the rc pro. The rc mini is there to fill a certain niche of flyers but if your commercial you could justify getting the rc pro for your business which you can write off in your taxes
Your opening a can of worms as they say, personally I use the tripltek 8” pro with my air2s however the new DJI rc pro seems like a great contender however access to things like Dronelink are lacking so I can’t automate flights etc and that why I went with a screen option and extremely powerful tablet with visibly better nits under bright sunlight, but horses for courses as they say if you like the controller that’s all that matters
@@Drone-Pilot well I was speaking in the context of the controllers in terms of saving space as well as weight. Now, if I had to pick I would prefer the screen option of the triptek bigger, brighter, and less expensive than the RC Pro
@@peacefulthrillseeker yeah the DJI RC along with the Mini 3 Pro is great for a “pack with you where ever you go” type of scenarios, as an example very recently to do a few roof inspections I found the combination fantastic and easy to take as the car charger charges the fly more kit and the drone and the DJI RC between jobs, and well exceeds the insurance companies technical requirements. So yeah the less you can carry in those scenarios the better it is, all in one solutions are a blessing.
If ye fly low yer signal will deterioed the further ye go, the further ye go the higher ye need tae be
Yup
Im guessing sitting in the car isn’t helping with the signal
Wait there is more to it ... The RC can not screen record at higher resolutions like a phone can. Also the RC needs to pre download the maps
So I know you’re cost conscious, but I have a question. I’m within my return period of my rc pro.
Am I crazy to return my rc pro and just get the mini 3 bundle? Why shouldn’t I do it?? Anyone?
That’s 1200 back and 900 for a drone and the DJI rc? What am I missing?
Range.
@@foam27 he showed here there’s a negligible difference. Not your experience? Thanks for answering
Looks like a range test to me. Would be useless for where and how I film with my drones. A friend is returning his mini 3 today. His reason. Constant loss of signal, and battery overload. Hey! Try getting out of your car. Might get a better signal. But from what I see, the mini 3 Pro is nothing more than a TOY drone.
Ouch 🤕
I did come out of the car and compare it to the RC Pro 💪
Mini - position and angle was not same of controllers
👍👍✌️
Man its so brutal how bad the dji RC tests
.....if I ever get mini 3 pro I'd be OK not spending the money on dji RC
try getting out of your car
I did
Thanks for honest review
