DJI RC PRO Review - IS IT WORTH IT?

[@DMProductions]

Its all about the screen for me....check the RC PRO out here - - geni.us/WHslB

[@erhan734]

Great overview Darren, thanks! Question: I have Samsung S10+ and it has 1200 nits, and still I cannot see the screen very well in a shiny weather. Do they also sell some sun shade covers suitable for that controller?

[@trinimedia19]

The feature many don't talk about is the HDMI out, for professionals this is a game changer.

[@DMProductions]

@@erhan734 I imagine the Samsung isn’t sustained at 1200nits. Most is just for short periods or hdr content

[@AerialImg]

@@DMProductions The Tripltek 8 sustains 1200 nits You should try it

[@pixusphotographic]

@@AerialImg I had the Tripltek 8 pro for a week. First of all, you can only get it from the USA at £45 postage. I wanted to send it back but would have to send it back at my cost. Sold it on eBay at a loss. I still had to use a sunshade, the brightness did last and didn't dim but the battery did not last as long as they say. Influencers on KZbin always bull products up. Don't always believe what they say.

[@eliyamil117]

I live in a very congested area and my rc1 give me around 2 miles range but steady signals, no cuts at all and just bought the rc pro and I was amazed with the range I got, past 4 miles without any struggles at all. I didn't needed the pro remote but as a Drone geek I had to get it and I love it. Great video brother!

[@DMProductions]

Haha yes the signal is Amazing

[@marcelinocastillo2871]

Your response represents me 100%.

[@radamesortiz4499]

I bought the RC pro about a month ago and I can say that it was worth it. I live in Puerto Rico and there is a lot of mountains and vegetation here. With the regular controller I was having some issues at some locations. I was loosing signal and the only way around was to elevate the drone until the signal was back. Since I got the RC pro, I haven’t had any issues or lost signal again.

[@whitham1961]

I would like to say one thing that’s so positive about the RC Pro controller is the precise stick control the unit has. My videos are much much better now because how the sticks controls the Mavic 3 and the Air 2 S. SMOOTH Controled Movements. That alone is worth the price. One more thing I want to touch on “the controls” how smooth the gimbal operates, the zoom and the gimbals working in conjunction with each other, Smooth. I am sold to the smoothness of every aspect of the unit.

If you're looking to upgrade to the Air 2s I got the full combo with the RC Pro for $1750.🤑 And yes it's the new RC Pro the ads are not very clear on that. 👍 I agree with your key points. Add a neck strap and the rig is foolproof. One issue, no mic on the controller so screen recording can't be narrated 😫

[@SW-Video]

Another influencer mentioned businesses who provide the equipment for their employees might want to use the SC rather than ask their employees to have a smart phone and install the app. That made good sense to me. It keeps the hardware and software under one umbrella.

[@SW-Video]

It also frees up a person's phone and keeps text messages, notifications, phone calls from interrupting the flight.

[@DMProductions]

Yep saw Alex mention that, very good point

[@EpicModeEngaged]

it's also a great idea for security reasons. I don't like the idea of DJI having the capability of viewing my phone data & info, thus the RC Pro is superior in choice.

[@NarrowAscent]

Thanks for the video. I believe that DJI is way overcharging for this. But they have not left much of an option and since there is very little competition out there their prices keep going up. I have been an avid user of DJI starting with getting my first drone with them being the Phantom 2. I always defended them at bringing drones down to a consumer level where everyone could enjoy them and use them for work etc. I am sad to see them going in the opposite direction now. I have to purchase this for our non profit to be able to get what we need but this went way out of our budget and will most likely be the last DJI drone we purchase. It kills me but the prices are becoming unatainable again which kept consumers out of the drone world like 10 years ago. Good vid though and thanks again

[@DMProductions]

Thank you appreciate it

[@oahuforjustice]

I have bought one for the ridiculous price and I love everything about it except for the signal which is much improved over the DJI smart controller but still inferior to the standard controller with a phone connected

[@Skiinye]

Noooo wayyyy 😮

[@marcelinocastillo2871]

Please check it everything is ok with yours, I just got mine and the signal is strong and a lot more trusty than RC -N1, no interruptions whatsoever on a 5 kms route in which the N1 normally breaks at about 3 kms. I will do a further distance test but for now it seems to be way superior.

[@visualrealityproductions1421]

You neglected to mention the HDMI out. I stream video to a mixer with my original SC. Paid for itself in two jobs

[@ivotouart]

Great video. Could you do a better overview of all the buttons and customization options and how it's helped you make better content with the drone or streamlined the experience of using the drone in flight? As an android user with a decently bright screen I'm more interested if the convenience of the extra buttons and customizability outweighs the benefits of something like the Tripltek 8 Pro which has a lot more real-estate, a brighter screen and can be used with any drone that uses an external display. Biggest question I have is: can you adjust your exposure without actually tapping around on the screen (aperture + shutter + ISO) using the 5D button for example. Also interested in how the separate video and photo triggers work. The manual is less than helpful.

[@saskdutchkid]

I miss my phantom 4pro controller, the feather light joysticks always aloud me to get smoother shots… how are the sticks on this controller? Lighter than a mavic 2 controller?

[@DMProductions]

The new controller looks to be the same sticks as on the N1 controller from the mini 3/ mavic 3 quiet chubby. The RC Pro had the thin sticks from the FPV drone and very true much easier to get nicer shots!

[@TheLDunn1]

I'd like to know how this RC Pro controller compares to the new controller with display that looks like the Mini 3 will launch with....& if its worth jumping straight to the RC-Pro (assuming mini 3 is supported) vs the mini 3 controller with LCD.

[@DMProductions]

Me too !

[@tyranelewis7763]

I just ordered mine today for my Air 2s. Thankyou for your valuable time on reviewing this and comparing. the convenience of not having to hook up a phone or tablet before flight is the best part for me along with the super bright screen. Yes it cost as much as the Air 2S Flymore combo. Yes its also future proof for when I upgrade my drone or add a higher end DJI drone

I fly with a Galaxy Z Fold3. You're better off buying the phone since you're already paying 2/3 the price for this controller. The phone has a larger screen, you don't have to pay for an additional service, and you can do more than drone flying.

[@lasidora]

Darren I love the RC Pro, I live near Stockport so not too far away, I had mine FCC modded so it puts out nearly 2w of power far more than the RC-1 can do, I also have one of the DJI cellular dongles installed in the RC Pro & although it will not allow me to fly the Mavic 3 via 4g it does allow the RC Pro to have full internet access via 4g, I have a 3 network sim installed with unlimited data so I don't need to use a phone for hotspot anymore. I use mine for taking long distance shots using the explorer mode & have it plugged into my 4k big TV via the mini hdmi clean screen output, fantastic looking at big buildings over 35 miles away on the big screen with lots of hovering time up above.

[@DMProductions]

what a set up ! is it straight forward once you buy the dongle to put the SIM card in ?

[@lasidora]

@@DMProductions Yes very straight forward, I just popped the 3 nano sim into it & switched it on in the settings, worked first time.

[@andrewm503]

Thanks for this video. I appreciate your straightforward approach and your videos don’t feel like hyped-up click bait. Regarding the RC Pro - this was a bit of a tough one for me. I recently got a Mavic 3 and was using the stock controller with an older iPad Air 9.7” with a shroud. I love the screen size of the iPad and the shroud helps with the sun, but it’s a messy and heavy assembly, and pretty indiscreet. And as an older iPad, the battery was draining fast. Too much distraction and complexity. So I got the RC Pro. I absolutely agree with your points on convenience, and the screen brightness. It’s so much better. Haven’t tested for range but that was also an attraction. The dedicated extra buttons and scroll wheel are also key advantages. I miss the larger iPad screen and I’m not crazy about Android in general, but it works fine. Only issue is first one I bought had a broken control stick, and had to replace the unit. :-/ I’m hoping this will be compatible with the new Mini 3. That would really be my ideal setup having this controller and those two drones.

[@DMProductions]

Yes I would love the rc pro to be a universal controller, I’m confused and eager to find out the spec of the new mini 3 rc

[@BARSSTUDIO]

Hi, Does RC PRO controller and RC from Mini 3 Pro are relatively the same? I am debating what to order

[@GaryCameron]

Agree with your mini 2 comment. Also, should be able to order a new drone without the controller if you already have on of these.

[@m118lr]

YES, IF you can afford it. #1. It FREES UP your phone..#2. It has an awesome screen/screen SIZE and has a GREAT battery. Also has its own storage capability. Last: Less tech to need/keep charging all the time. Edited to add: Got mine as a package deal with my A2S when they phased-out the Smart controller..

The price is a bit up there but It is worth the price just for the screen, it is awesome to say the least. I had been using the Apple Mini but on sunny days it was difficult to make out what image was on the screen as it would wash out unless you stand in the shade. I thought that the RC Pro screen might be a bit small compared to the Apple Mini but that was not an issue. I like the ability to use it with my M3 and Air 2S. and i"m hoping that it will be compatible with new, and hopefully upgraded with new Mini when it is released.I want to have the new Miny when I travel outside Canada. The sad part of this story is that the RC Pro fell out of the back of SUV while I was preparing for flight, the RC Pro landed face down on the pavement and and damaged my control sticks so they have to be replaced. I have to send the RC Pro to California for the repair. Now the real sad part is that 3 three days earlier my M3 appears to have lost it's signal and took a dive into the ocean never to be seen again. It was a bad week for me.

Hello, good day. I am considering buying either a DJI RC or a DJI RC Pro. The primary factors for me are image quality and brightness. I’ve noted that the DJI RC Pro is roughly triple the price of the DJI RC, so I’m hoping to get an expert’s view on the tangible differences in image quality and brightness between the two controllers. If the DJI RC Pro only offers a 10 or 15% improvement, I may not find it worthwhile to spend an extra 600 euros. In your experience, is the image quality and brightness of the DJI RC Pro significantly better, or is the DJI RC just as good in any given situation, thus making the Pro version not worth the additional cost? Thank you in advance.

[@DMProductions]

Pros and cons to both. The pro does have a brighter screen and stays 1000 nits , it’s also a lot faster in switching menus and boot up but it’s heavier. If you film a lot in bright conditions it’ll be worth the extra

Off I went out to sea for spectacular shots of the headland….in my dreams…..screen went black, couldn’t se a thing, drone out of sight, I was a newbie……nearly hit the headland and finally crashed in the scrub beyond the beach. Mini was fine. I wasn’t🥵 Crisis talks with myself …I also have to wear tinted glasses after cataract surgery. Bought an iPad Mini. Works well, but the adapter doesn’t fit in my custom case. Something else to carry separately, or forget….Now I want one of those magic controllers, which won’t work with the Mini ! I also live in mountainous forested sub tropical area so signal drop outs are all too common. Thanks for the vid.

Haha wow , basically this ticks all the boxes! I nearly threw my phone and controller in the lake last year when I missed out on some stunning shots! You need to spend big and get the rc-pro and mavic 3 , you will hate me but love me when you see the quality ! Or wait for mini 3 and get this controller which I’M 99% sure will be compatible

I almost lost my Air 2S because my Iphone 12 Pro shuts off due to overheating. Good thing the return home works perfectly on standard remote controller. I was planning to buY RC PRO but the it’s just too expensive

[@MrRaymond1021]

I think it's a great controller, but just out of curiosity Darren. Don't you think the triple tech 8 pro is cheaper, and better? I personally think it's brighter, but not 100% since I don't have any of them. Thanks for sharing 👍👍👍

[@DMProductions]

Prefer this as any tablet will still need mounting and connecting with cables etc. this seems quicker and neater

[@MrRaymond1021]

@@DMProductions makes total sense. Thanks 👍

I’m so on the fence my M3 fly more was already 3 grand! Maybe in a couple months

[@DMProductions]

You have a great drone. The RC Pro is good but maybe it’ll be reduced after the the rc coming out

[@peterkilfoyle2756]

Can the DJI RC PRO be used to control the Mavic Air 2 Drone. You mentioned the Mavic Air 2S in the video but not the air 2.

[@DMProductions]

Currently just the 2s and mavic 3

[@h-dawg969]

Have you tried the new RC with the Mavic 3 yet? (the one that comes with the Mini 3?) & if so, how is it? I think for about £600 less, surely it’ll suffice? Cheers

[@DMProductions]

yes its decent, much lighter for travel too

[@malltraeth100]

Great review. Do you have to preload the maps ?

[@A-view-from-above]

Is the rc pro really worth it, been on the fence to buy but now with the Mavic 3 pro the dji rc seems so laggy, is is quicker with the rc pro? Thanks

[@DMProductions]

Yes it’s noticeably quicker especially when switching up cameras

[@A-view-from-above]

@@DMProductions thanks for the reply, couldn’t find a concrete answer and seems hit and miss, just hope when I get it then don’t bring out a bloody new one lol

[@bobsnyder287]

Can you customize one of the wheels to adjust the shutter speed. Thanks Bob

[@nestoNESTOnesto]

I really would like to know, if you can have just this one controller for all your drones. In that case the price in comparison with like Futaba RC is really not that bad.

2:24 You can do this on your phone by turning off the automatic brightness of the display.

Great insight and review, cheers!
