It’s a good controller, no doubt about that. I really enjoy flying with it. As far as lagging is concerned, none of these smart controllers are going to be as fast as using a smart phone such as a late model iPhone. Great video, and thanks for sharing.

[@RobHK]

That’s true Ronald, but with each update it will fill up and go slower, at times its “im just gonna go home”. But i ordered a new one after publishing this just to see if there’s a difference and return it if not. I remember back in Hawaii and this summer, smooth as butter. Not anymore

[@BTS70VIDEOS]

Here is something you don't know. The right scroll wheel can be assigned various functions. Mine came set up with focal length chosen. No one on KZbin and DJI tech support could tell me how to choose zooming as the choice. At first I thought it could be done but, stumbled into figuring it out. There are around six choices for the right scroll wheel to control.

[@kayberry6292]

Mine came with zoom as the default. I would love to change it to a manual focus wheel (as the on-screen slider is awkward for left-handers) but I don't think that's possible.

[@tonybucks5709]

Actually we do know that, you just have to set it the way you like, plenty of customization.

[@outdoortechtrekguy1029]

Got mine last week not seen any lags I expect various firmware updates have fixed it.

[@lowyewhuat]

Thanks, Rob for sharing it. Yes, the DJIRC touchscreen is indeed lagging, and difficult to marquee/select the subject. I realize that the Screen Recording is recorded on H265 format which may not playback on some devices. May I know whether it can be set to record in H264 compression format?

[@RobHK]

Thank you😊👍 Not sure if you can change the format of the SR on the controller. Never had a issue with it so haven’t really crossed my mind.

[@anthony851]

What I would like to know is, can the drone be set up to record as soon as it is powered up? I had a nice shot of a freight train going north in the late afternoon in Tasmania, it looked good on the controller going diagonally from top right to bottom left and then I realized I hadn't pushed the record button. I'm sure that I wasn't the first to do this or probably not the last. Help please, Anthony

[@ngl1145]

I just bought the controller. For some reason it likes to disconnect from my hotspot just as the drone is about to take off. Typically I would create a hotspot before flying so I could get live maps vs as you’ve shown in your video where you can pre-download them. Is there a way to stop it from auto disabling wifi and Bluetooth? It says it does this to minimize interference. Yes, my remote screen can be slow as well. Great video.

[@SamoSloga]

So far I managed to boot into dji rc recovery. No one have done this before. This is my project and involves a lot of custom programming. Once I move step further I will be able to extract factory image and then sky is the limit. I could use some help if anyone is familiar with Linux android programming. Once we boot into factory mode we will be able to make dji rc more usable. Add more apps to it and possibly change some off fly app factory settings....

[@erockebikes]

You my friend are a hero! What’s the problem you’re having now?

[@DanielCrist]

@@BlairAir What's the issue, RAM or storage space? I don't think programs like Litchi take up that much space, and what if you got it to force close the DJI Fly app while using an alternative flight program? What about using a small external drive connected via USB? I'm not a computer expert, but I would love to be able to run Litchi when the Mini 3 Pro SDK comes out, and not have to buy a separate controller if possible.

[@DanielCrist]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts about the controller. I just subscribed to your channel. I have a Mini 3 with the Rc Controller, and I have been using the controller with my Mavic 3 as well. Lately, I was thinking to buy the Rc Pro as sometimes I have gotten connection issues. I have a friend that has the Rc pro and he told me that my Controller doesn’t have external antennas that’s why I’m having issues with it. I really don't think it is because of the internal antennas. In your opinion do you think is it worth buying an Rc pro? have a great day.

[@miredo]

Good sharing. Instead of slide out or flip out screen, I prefer to have a screen protector cover that flip up as sun shine shade.

[@Retinus]

Nice video! THX!

[@RobertWildling]

Yes, indeed, it is indeed lagging, and I am glad that you mention that clearly enough! It is annoying when you come from a decent phone, where a tab immediately turns into a reaction. I assume it is due to the hardware (slow processor, poor touch screen). A comparison of the RC with the RC Pro in this regard would be interesting! - Great review! Didn't know about the transfer to an external file.

You can update your home location at any time on the controller, and it doesn't require cell coverage. It's probably a good idea to do this regularly if you're moving so you don't need to take a trip back to your original location if something goes wrong :)

I have lag every day, not during flights tho, but going through settings. I still recommend it as you put your settings now and then, and if you fly with auto settings, you barely change them.

Still trying to pair my RC controller from my Mini 3 pro combo to my Mavic 3, like you I’m not so keen on the older RC-N1 controller; any tips on how to achieve this would be appreciated!

[@RobHK]

Turn on the controller and drone, on the controller go to connection guide on the screen (bottom right) then swipe to mavic 3 and select it

[@freeforester1717]

@@RobHK I’ve tried this, when I enter connection guide it only shows the mini 3pro on the screen, when I try to pair it by pressing the Mavic battery button for 4 sec putting the drone into pairing mode and then pressing pair on the controller, the attempt simply runs its sixty seconds and then tells me pairing unsuccessful. It appears that the controller doesn’t recognise any other drone apart from the mini 3pro it came with. I’m a bit afraid to remove the device from the account, but I’m stumped as to why my RC controller doesn’t offer the choice of drones to pair with as you suggest it should do. 🤔 I’m not appearing to have any network connection to my RC controller, as when I try to get online support it just gives me the check network/retry brick wall. I suppose I need to figure out how to connect the RC controller to the network, but that’s not too clear how to do, when the only button available to tap is ‘Retry’? My drone is a Mavic 3, I have dji fly app on my iPhone 11 plus, and of course I have connection with my phone to my WiFi in the house where I’m trying to connect to the RC controller 🤔

[@thriftysurvivor6117]

Thanks for this info and for all your informative videos. I know this is unrelated to the content in this video but I need help. Do you have any idea what causes the GO FLY screen (The one with the picture of the drone on it with a blue GO FLY button on the bottom right of the screen) to pop up during flight? Sometimes this happens at a critical moment and it covers the entire screen so I'm flying completely blind while this screen is up. Is there a setting somewhere that turns this off. This screen usually pops up once or twice during a flight. I hit the Go Fly button and it does turn the screen off, but it takes several seconds so during those several seconds, I'm completely blind. Thanks in advance, Eric

[@gregparadi]

Great review ! However...some very annoying issues: 1. There is no "video enhancement" ( some kind of LUT ) when using D-cinelike mode, ( like in DJI Go4 ), which means on the display everything is dull and grey ( as a D-cinelike video should be, but it makes way harder the make good compositions since we cannot see the contrast, the shadows etc...) . 2. The DJI RC doesn't play back the D-cinelike format clips ! So after flying, when I want to check my footage , taking the memory card out of my drone, putting into the DJI RC, it shows ERROR when playing its own file ! The old DJI Smart controller plays back the same clips with no issue. Is it possible to request for an update ? AFAIK the video enhancement request has been on forums for a year now, and no update solved it so far....

[@blaisecarver]

I agree and interestingly none of the "independent" reviewers doesn't mention these.

I love this controller but one thing that is bad is the video cache footage is only 480p which is rubbish. 720p which you get on a phone connected to an RC-N1 is far more usable if you’ve forgotten an SD card for your drone.

[@DanielCrist]

I haven't bought my Mini 3 Pro yet (well I did, it was stolen before I ever used it, I haven't bought it's replacement yet) but doesn't the cached footage have all the data, charts, and maps recorded onto it? Or is there a way to record a clean cached file? If you can record a cached video without the onscreen data and items, that might push me into getting the RC-N1 version this time. But also, why only 720p? My phone screen records at 1080p, and that's what the drone transmits. So why is 720p the max?

Has anyone figured out how to get video out?

[@BataSug_POV]

The lag i experience when screen recording.

Feel is not cheap at all, it looks and feels amazingly built. The drone mini 3 pro feels super cheap on the other hand.

Plastic fantastic🤙

[@Livinthedronelife]

It doesn't feel cheap it a well-made Controller Imo.

[@sthightech860]

Rc not overheat ?

[@RobHK]

No

[@englishguy1985]

The first thing I noticed when opening the box to the RC controller is how cheap and flimsy it feels compared to the stock control, also how the joysticks feel cheap.

[@MelchizedekKohen]

hence why it's £250 and not £800 odd like the pro controller 🤷‍♂️

But the RC *doesn't* do everything I want it to. Example: if I'm shooting video AND have focus peaking turned on AND want to make a screen recording, the screen recording stutters from start to finish. DJI tell me that's because the processor isn't powerful enough to do all three things at once and I should get the RC Pro for that. But there's no warning in the manual about this and it's shoddy design. I wasn't using any of the other functions such as histogram, zebra stripes, etc and it's maybe possible that the lag when switching into settings can be reduced if you turn off other processes. It's also possible that the standard controller doesn't suffer in the same way since a) the display resolution is lower and b) it piggybacks on the processor in your phone, but I haven't tested it.

You can also use a USBC-Microsd adaptor and play the 4k recorded video files directly from the ejected drone microSD on your screen without needing any downloading. And even your Gopro videos play beautifully. Can also use the RC as your storage for all your videos while in holidays by having a micro SD card in the RC. You can then transfer gopro and phone videos and drone videos all into one location by using the microsd adaptor and transfer to the built in microsd. No need for a laptop!

[@jannisreklips]

Biggest downside for me is that the RC controller only plays videos up to 1080p. Youre not able to watch downloaded fullsize drone fotage.

[@oofol]

Im not sure what your norms are but the plastic the controler is made of is sturdy and it actually does NOT feel cheap at all... If the plastic structure looks cheep to you thats really odd..

[@RobHK]

Is it odd to have opinions? Strange..

[@oofol]

@@RobHK not at all. Its odd to call something well made junk :)

[@RobHK]

You probably like BMW as well then 🤷‍♂️

[@oofol]

@@RobHK nah. I'm an Audi fanboy but I wouldn't mind a mint E36. You probably in to Tesla..

[@rensonsaguid1176]

I just ask the DRONE pilots or those who know about Drones, I tried because I flew my drone that was not connected to WiFi because there was no signal in the middle of the sea, why when I chinecked the profiler, the Drone flew. immediately even though I didn't move the controller.. what made the drone fly?so now I'm afraid to fly my Drone...

[@Bankie666]

I think your drone is haunted, or has perhaps become sentient.

[@user-nu5fx6en9h]

I hate using my phone, battery drain, annoying to pick up calls and check messages while flying

[@cadillacblades]

So what's the secret
