DJI RC Pro vs. DJI Smart Controller - What’s the Difference?

[@cnyphotovideo]

Thanks Billy. One thing I’ve heard mention of is that on the control sticks of the new smart controller the threaded part that screws in is extremely small and some people think it might be fragile. Something to keep an eye on.

[@petesig93]

Great to get a review comparing the controllers. I have just ordered an RC-Pro for my Air2S. It is now backwards-compatible with the Air2S, according to my supplier.

[@BillTheDroneReviewer]

Billy excellent comparison between the Smart Controller and the RC Pro. Really like the improvements especially the range, upgraded internals, and the ability t connect to a mobile network.

[@markkempton4579]

Thanks for this. I've been thrilled with my SC and found it 100x better than the stock controller with my first drone (Air). The battery and screen were so much better than using my phone, which was an issue b/c I couldn't reply to text messages, etc. The battery on my SC lasts forever if I don't fly and I only charge it every dozen or so flights. The lack of internet is a plus for me. I think it helps with battery life not powering a CDMA or GSM radio. I get the updates I need every time it's in the house charging (firmware check is part of your regular maintenance routine), so I never felt like i was missing something. My biggest disappointment is the price. My SC was a $400 upcharge with my M2P. The RC Pro is $900 on the M3P. I just wish they'd upgrade the SC through firmware and a new radio and I'd be happy to use it forever. I live by the D pad and am disappointed the RC does not have one. Great comparison. Best I've found. Thank you again!

[@billykyle]

Built in screen is such a game changer

[@RonaldBrown59]

Thanks for this excellent comparison of these controllers, I just got the Mavic 3 and very interested in getting the RC Pro. It seems to have a got going for it, and a nice upgrade over the first version.

[@PascalSupply]

Thanks Billy for the clear review. On November 2022, we still cannot connect 2 RC's to 1 drone with the DJI RC Pro. On the DJI Smart Controller it was standard and was a good function for teaching or when flying with a camera specialist who could decide on taking the shots or footage. Hopefully this feature will come soon!

[@MrEye4get]

Support for "other" drones is a deal breaker! You comments about upgrading for a Mavic 3 and DJI RC pro are spot on. I'll wait until laws make me buy new drones!

[@noel5141]

I’ve used both and I could say that the RC pro controller has better range for sure just tested it out today and confirmed. Worth the upgrade for sure

[@VisionCommunications]

Nice review.. The thing is, I’m not getting a Mavic 3 if I have to buy another smart controller to have freedom from using my phone. I actually like using the current smart controller with my Mavic 2 Zoom and Air 2S. If I need to do something that requires longer range, I get the stock controller. I would get the Mavic 3 if they made it compatible with the old smart controller, even if range was limited.

[@LifeAsDane]

Agreed. Corporate bs

[@magneticnorseman]

Totally agree on this. Mavic 3 would already be in my arsenal if they made the "old" smart controller compatible, for sure.

[@ChristiaanRoest79]

The smart controller isnt fast enough to use with M3.

[@ChristiaanRoest79]

[@fletcherbrown728]

I could never see the screen clearly using the standard controller any my iPhone Xs Max. I switched to the smart controller and never looked back. As the lyrics go "I can see clearly now". Can't understand why you would want to switch back to the standard controller and phone. Worth every penny i spent on the Smart Controller.

Great video! I have the original and I been using the New RC Pro w/M3 for a week now. changes the whole experience in my opinion. For me it’s the way to go. The signal strength and increased battery life Is very noticeable.

Thanks, but many of us would like to see a comparison between the RC Pro vs the standard controller that comes with the Fly More Combo Mavic 3. I am torn between the basic controller with the Tripltek 8 compared to RC Pro.

[@billdyer8981]

I just purchased an Air 2S with the RC Pro Controller and it works just fine. No comparability issues at all.

[@ELECTRONICSANDGADGETS]

Use your drone to take the mapping software enterprise duel…..upload to drone deploy. Works perfectly.

[@thegman7523]

Thanks for going over the 3rd party apps. I had the Phantom4 "smart" controller. I love the screen, very bright but if I wanted to use Pix4d, drone deploy, etc I was out of luck. I know everyone raved about the smart controller and I wasn't going to fall for that trick again I'll wait until apps come out on the rc before I get it.

[@MarkLewis-l3f]

I'm just getting into this & still in the research phase. I plan to start learning to fly on the DJI Mini Pro 4 before eventually adding the Mavick 3 Cine. One thing that seems apparent is the idea that the controller is a highly influential factor in how the drone performs & what it is capable of. I can't see needing more than one remote to fly both drones so why not just buy the RC Pro to start with if it will fly the rest of the DJI lineup as well as the Mavick 3 Pro? The question I have is, when will DJI add to the backwards compatibility for the RC Pro to include the Mini Pro 4? Transmission strength plus the ability to use 3rd party apps seems like almost a necessity so I hate to purchase the drone & then find out in a couple months that I have to go ahead and buy it as a stand alone remote anyway. I've searched everywhere trying to find out if & when the RC Pro will support the rest of DJI's lineup & found nothing. Does anyone know or even have a hint as to how long this will be? I'm not ready to buy the drone yet, but within a few months.

[@DrPhillEntertainmentja]

Did u find out if thr RC pro Is compatible with the Mini 4 Pro?

[@DronieUp]

Hi Billy, I’m seeing new vids showing an Air2s with the RC Pro. Can you confirm if the RC Pro is now compatible with the Air 2s?

[@mauibuilder1239]

Is the DJI Mini 3 Pro backwards compatible with the DJI Smart Controller (similar to Air 2s was)? I like the 1000 nits brightness and Don't want to spend $1199 for the RC Pro. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

[@sutats]

Been flying a newly unboxed DJI Mini 2 Fly More Combo and noticed in dense areas the transmission range isn't great with the RC-N1 that comes with it.

[@mikemcmorrow2833]

Your viewers might like to know that during my interminable drone research I just saw today (12/7/21) that B&H has an Air 2S Fly More bundle with the new RC Pro controller that does not seem to take the price of the new controller into account. If you want a Air 2S, this might be click-worthy. Others vendors may have this too, but it's the first and only place I've seen it so far. I have no affiliation at all with any company involved - other than as retail product purchaser.

I Ended up getting an opened box one with the Rc Pro for 1,450 can't beat that!

I just ordered the DJI Air 2S on 12/12/2021 and it came with the RC Pro inside the box. Billy what did you do to charge the controller? I’ve had mine on charge all night and it only charged about 75%. When I checked it this morning, It’s not fully charged. I used the small power adapter - USB A to USB C at first then this morning I connected the larger power adapter meant to power the 3 batteries in the Fly More Combo kit and it’s still staying at 75%. My batteries charged with no problem but I can’t get the RC Pro to charge to a full 100%.

[@rlfisher]

Great and helpful video. I am about to buy my first drone - the Air 2S makes the most sense for me (landscape photography). The old Smart Controller has many limitations that you mentioned, and is also no longer offered. I am trying to decide if I should take the standard (pair with phone) controller or wait for the RC (not RC Pro) to become available with the Air 2S. I'm weighing size/portability (for my camera pack) vs. better features, screen brightness in the RC. Any thoughts?

[@petesig93]

Rc-Pro is now compatible to the Air2S. I have just ordered one. I am also concerned about the size, for use on bicycle tours, but the mobile screen visibility when using the standard controller is woeful. Phone goes dim in bright light, when the screen heats up. No effective controller then.

[@Naesman1167]

Hi Billie. Really enjoy your reviews. I know this review is a little older. I’d like clarification on the point of 3rd party apps that you can download to the RC Pro. First there is a misconception that the Mavic 3 doesn’t support waypoints which isn’t entirely true. The hyper lapse feature uses waypoints which means with SDK release 3rd party apps should be able to perform autonomous missions with M3. With that said, are you saying you can’t download and install the Drone Deploy app or do you mean once installed it won’t work because the SDK for the M3 hasn’t been released yet to 3rd party apps?

[@RonBowen1953]

I just got the DJI RC Pro, and for the most part, it has been to hot and windy to get a real feel of it. It did cost me more than the Air 2S I have. The few times I did fly it, it really seemed to handle smoothly thou. Only wish I did not have to use my phone as a hot spot spot, as it has a 4G module hook up that not supported in the US, and I do not want to spend more money on one to find out if Verision would work with it as a data transfer for maps. Iowa out. Thanks for the videos.

[@dondupuis4007]

Your video was very informative, great job👍 Base on the info, I don’t think I will upgrade to RC pro, I purchased the smart controller last year. I want a controller to fly my drone not as a tablet or phone. the addition of capability with Fire Fox is not a plus to me. They sell a high end mini tablet with 1200 nits of brightness for less money, and the tablet can be use with all drones. Plus who knows when dji will change the smart controller again? Next year, 2 year? Dji upgraded the Smart Controller to work with the S2 now, and it does work, just not at the level it does with the standard controller that comes with the S2. But the Smart Controller screen with 1000 nits did spoil me, can’t go back to a phone now. Yep looking closer at the 1200 nits mini tablet.

Thanks Billy. You usually are very informative. But............I take exception to your statement that the stock controller has better transmission than the old SC. I haven't flown the Air 2s a lot, but so far I've had better luck with my SC than than the stock. An interesting tidbit...... I found it interesting that right in the manual it says that the Air 2s uses Oc 3, but then it goes on to say that the stock controller uses Oc 2!!!. When I first saw it, I thought it was a typo, but I've now seen several references stating the same thing. Your thoughts?

I also get better range and connection in general with my Smart Controller over the standard Air 2S controller, BY Far. The stock controller gives me frequent disconnects at close range using Litchi whereas the Smart Controller keeps a strong connection using Litchi.

Hi Billy - good video - can you answer a quick question? In using the Smart Controller you said you can switch easily between different DJI drones. But doesn't this require re-pairing the drone each time? There is no easy way to switch between drones, or to have the Smart Controller automatically recognize which drone it's supposed to pair with? I have a Mavic2 Pro and an Air 2S but it seems I've got to pair them each time - that's kind of clunky. Do you have a trick to make this work better?

The one thing that you didn’t cover which I guess most people already know if they owned the smart controller was what is its method of communication for downloading maps.

I have the same problem. Even worse in the winter time. My phone gets too cold and randomly shuts off. It's pretty scary when the drone is in the air, which is why I just started to look into the RC Pro. The price tag is a bit off putting as it's worth more than the Air 2S itself.

I prefer the smart remote over the stock controller. I’ve never had any issues AND frees my phone, no need to connect the phone on stock controller and no issues on receiving phone calls when flying Also the phone battery drains much faster even when you’re charging through the stock controller compared to the smart controller The screen on the smart controller is also better to view than in your phone Overall, I would go with the smart controller any day than using the phone on the stock

[@danlovesayu]

Hahaha.....we should not be talking on our mobile while flying a drone! If you need your mobile phone to last, make sure it's charge 100% before heading out! My iPhone 12 Pro Max battery still have 40% on my 8th battery on my Mini 2 (without direct charging from the controller) I would fully agree with you on the view from Smart Controller is definitely better but I would only buy it if using drone was part of my work as it would be a great investment. If it's only for recreational purpose, stock control with mobile phone is more than sufficient.

I’d love to buy an inspire one just to put in my collection it’s such a cool looking drone and I’m thinking about that.
