Which would you pick? DJI RC or DJI RC Pro? The best value goes to the RC for sure geni.us/F5KYyt

DJI RC

[@FunFlyingPilot]

Excellent comparison and decision that I had to make. I do fly commercially a lot and appreciate the brighter screen on the RC Pro (which I bought after trying both the RC and the RC Pro). I also make use of the additional programmable buttons on the Pro. The additional weight that seemed to bother you is a non issue for me as I always have my controllers on a lanyard. I also appreciate the higher resolution on the RC Pro. The on-board memory on the Pro is useful also. Yes, it is over-priced (in my opinion), but none of us start flying drones to save money. Part of my rationale is that from what I read is that the Pro will be the "standard" for the next generation of drones (thus possibly a longer lifespan) than the RC. Admittedly, it is an expensive controller. If you can afford it however, I think the Pro is the right choice, but the RC is good too.

[@MyViewsOfTheWorld]

Honestly, Ill stick to the DJI RC when I get my Mini 3 Pro. It is lighter and cheaper and I don't think I need the extras of the RC Pro.

[@nokkieg1]

i just bought a 10 euro sunscreen.. does the trick also.. this is just dji generating aftersales i found having the screen under my big hands very very clumsy with the mini1 not going back to that

[@MyViewsOfTheWorld]

@@nokkieg1 I was wondering about the screen placement. I wonder if Darren has an opinion on that.

[@CheeseheadMedia]

For the current price difference I’ll take the DJI RC. But if DJI dropped the price of the RC Pro to something more reasonable like $699… I think that would be the way to go.

[@RonaldBrown59]

I purchased the RC Pro seven months before they the released the DJI RC. I have both now and I prefer the RC Pro, but the DJI RC is probably better buy for the money. Good video, thanks for sharing.

[@charitybull]

Thankfully my DJI RC came with my mini and I love that I can now use it on my Mavic 3 as well! But once again thank you for the great content!!!

[@DMProductions]

yes you got the baller package hey!

[@Crushemedia]

I have both of these controllers. I just got the RC Pro in hand yesterday so it is getting it's maiden flight this afternoon. My opinion is that the RC is all a recreational flyer would really need and I use mine with the Mini 3 Pro for hiking and remote/travel work most of the time. The RC Pro is for professional work. It has a much more professional look and features for filming and media handling that seem like they ill be more efficient in the field. We'll see over the next few weeks. Thanks for the video sir. As always.

[@garymorris6819]

Very tempted to get the RC Pro for obvious reasons. It’s fancy alright! And better flight experience. Can’t hate the RC either. Best value for money!

[@colinmclean1300]

Performance and features absolutely, not cost. I only have the RC Pro as it was bundled with Air2s and for a short period, Dji had this bundle at the beginning of the year. I believe this bundle is discontinued, but for $400 more on top of Air2s flymore price, it was well worth getting. Would I pay $1199. No I wouldn't.

[@DMProductions]

Absolutely, if you can get it bundled then get it ! Stand-alone controller tho the price id get RC and put money towards a mavic classic

[@colinmclean1300]

@@DMProductions I'm holding off on M3. I have m2 pro and Zoom and hardly used them. Was mainly using Mini 2 as it gave ne what I needed. Now use Air2s or Mini 3 depending on load, so need to consider do I need another ornament sitting in the closet.

[@ruirodrigues9122]

I love the RC Pro. I find it also has better range than the RC. I fly over a large river that has ocean going shipping traffic on it and I find that the RC works great if it's directly pointed at the drone. I'll get 6km full bars but the moment it's remotely not in line with the drone...game over. The RC Pro...allot more forgiving....same thing 6km and i turn say 90 degrees from line of sight...no issue...still full bars.

[@BlairAir]

Agree on range. Recent FW updates let Mavic 3 fly to an absolutely ridiculous range. Mini 3 Pro also, to a lesser degree. The RM330 has been somewhat unreliable flying Mavic 3. It's better than the original FW that allowed pairing to Mavic 3, but I still don't trust it. Too many lock-ups - most likely not enough RAM to manage Airsense plus the rest.

[@frederichoedt2506]

sounds you're flying VLOS ... 😉

[@BrianLuenser]

Outstanding information here! After watching this, I did pick the pro version, mostly because I live in a downtown full of skyscrapers and think the transmissions may be better. I do love this controller.

[@DMProductions]

Yes it’s really good isn’t it

[@JSKenterprise]

Thanks, you just pushed towards the DJI RC. The controller will sit in the case with the drone when I'm not flying. So, I really don't need all the other stuff that the RC Pro offers. I can use my phone for Netflix and all that. I just saved $900.00 bucks. 👍

[@DMProductions]

Exactly, a controllers main job just always been to control the drone not Watch Netflix 😂

[@markkempton4579]

For those thinking the RC Pro is an investment that will last them longer, that's what I thought when I bought my Smart Controller in 2020. Turns out DJI didn't want to upgrade that and I can't use it on any gen 3 drones. It's a paperweight if I upgrade to the M3P as I planned. I hope the RC Pro lasts longer than one generation for you.

[@josephbruce5080]

RC Pro sounds like a good investment to me. I’d go for it when budget permits. In the meantime, the price of the DJI RC makes it a more reasonable option.

[@CoastGuy09]

I have ordered the RC Pro because I need the additional communication range. I have four trips scheduled where I will be flying a drone. One is in Iceland where we will be shooting volcanos and glaciers at extreme ranges. The additional cost of the controller is minor compared to what I am paying for the opportunity to shoot in extreme areas.

[@DronesaferegisterOrgUkpage]

Hey DM, we were so happy to send this out to you to review! Great video with some great points. - Drone Safe Store Team.

[@DMProductions]

Thank you guys, really good service

[@usadroneflyer]

I have the DJI RC with the Mini 3 Pro and just picked up the DJI RC Pro basically for the brightness and added customization. The price was a draw back, but I think of it as an investment and the fat I sold my Air 2 to help fund it. Now I'm using it with the Mini 3 Pro and Air 2S and can feel and see the difference from the DJI RC. This I hope makes me ready for the next jump in the DJI line. Thanks for what you do!

[@DMProductions]

Awesome! The screen is fantastic, I wish I had this on some super bright days in Mallorca, the speed and screen is great. Glad you like it

[@DrPhillEntertainmentja]

Can u tell if the mini 4 pro is compatible with RC Pro?

[@usadroneflyer]

@@DrPhillEntertainmentja Not compatable. RC Pro is OC3 Mini 4 Pro OC4. But sure it could if they wanted to could with a firmware update.

[@vivexx_]

DJI RC is great. If I practiced commercial I probably prefer the Pro one, but as a travel lover I appreciate the light-weighting

[@crashpilot1]

Its about time they made the controller work with mini 2 not everyone can afford to upgrade to mini 3. Informative video as useuall matey,👍👍

[@DMProductions]

thank you buddy, I agree

[@juancarlos4]

Well….. I always have your advice in high regards, im absolutely sure what I want, but the price difference is just astronomical, RC Pro is no doubt the best but I agree with you : Naaahhh !!! I better go with the RC, at the end it’s just 300 bucks compared with the insane 1200 for what a lot of us do with a drone. Please keep up your work, it’s invaluable.

[@Hybrid_RockCrawler]

Thank you for the insight. I've been going back and forth all night trying to decide. I'm going to go with the DJI RC.

[@ClassicCyclingCC]

I bought a DJi Mavic 3 Classic with the regular RC controller. From the get go I disliked the RC controller. It feels cheap, plasticky and toy like. The user interface is slow and laggy, the screen is just ok and it is so light that it lacks any sensation in your hands. Even after 3 months of frequent use, I couldn’t get myself to enjoy the RC controller. The price tag of the DJI RC Pro was a big obstacle for me to overcome however. I finally and hesitantly decided to take the plunge. WHAT A DIFFERENCE! Every single dislike I had over the basic RC controller have been addressed. It feels solid, well made, and pro like. The user interface is fast and smooth. The screen is absolutely gorgeous and it offers many useful upgrades over the RC controller. Flying my drone with the RC Pro has been a different experience altogether. It is much more enjoyable and satisfying. I only regret 1 thing; not buying the RC Pro with my drone.

[@Pif_-_Paf]

Dude legit saves the most CRITICAL information for the end of the video... mention antennas as the main priority here..!!!

[@adcraziness1501]

I'm going to go a different direction and wish they would make a RC-N1 Pro. I like to fly using an iPad Pro, with its big 12.9 inch Mini LED display with 1600 nits of peak brightness, or when I'm on the go I have an iphone 14 pro max with 2000 nits peak brightness. It's also a blazing fast processor with no menu lag at all. I'm happy with the RC-N1, it does great. What I need, though, are those two C1 and C2 buttons, the zoom wheel, and separate video/still shutter buttons like the RC has. There are already fantastic accessories like the "LifThor Baldur 2" which attaches the iPad Pro to the RC-N1 with sunscreen and everything. So you can't automatically say the RC-N1 is obsolete. It has capabilities the RC lacks, but I do want those extra buttons.

[@MatthewLenton]

There are ways to access the Google browser and KZbin on the standard RC. Netflix is a different matter Regarding the internal storage, there obviously is some for the firmware but I'm more than happy using the SD card as I very rarely screen record

[@Unamatrix01]

Excellent comparative overview of the DJI RC and the DJI RC Pro. As a mechanical engineer and owner of an aerial drone photography, videography and inspection company on the side here in Toronto, Canada. I own the DJI RC Pro, Mavic 3,Air 2S and Mini 3 Pro along with the original Mavic Pro Platinum with a DJI Crystal Sky high brightness monitor. The DJI RC Pro is a better investment as is the high-end reference controller for non-enterprise DJI drones, while the DJI RC is the new mid-range controller for all non-enterprise drones. The processor limitations of the DJI RC indicate that it would become obsolete sooner than the DJI RC Pro. The DJI Crystal Sky became obsolete with the introduction of the Mavic 2 Pro and Mavic 2 Zoom as they introduced Ocusync 2.0 data transmission system, which also required a 64-bit processor. The DJI Crystal Sky monitors have a 32-bit processor and are thus incompatible with any DJI drone that uses Ocusync 2.0 and 3.0+. I still use my DJI Crystal Sky display with my Autel Evo II 8K/Pro as it can run the Autel Explorer software which runs on 32 bit chip architecture. I would be remiss in not mentioning that I use GPC (Go Professional Cases) with all of my drones, for professional client work as well as recreational travelling. The DJI RC along with the Mini 3 Pro is the perfect travel drone, especially in countries that do not have a guest pilot license for international travellers with drones below 250g.

[@RayValdezPhotography]

You are mentioning if it goes obsolete but the real issue is if they will support in the future for a Mavic 4 or 5. They could just drop support and no give a damn about the consumer. They could make an RC pro 2 for $1500

[@BlairAir]

While not published, I also believe the RAM available on RC (RM330) is quite limited. 👌 I've had a few lock ups when flying Mavic 3 with it, and basically stick with RC Pro for Mavic 3, RC for Mini 3/Air 2S for convenience.

[@dronecompanion]

RC without „pro” is a clear winner. 😊

[@donaldmayfield9159]

That RC Pro is on my wishlist!!!

[@nathanhassani5366]

The biggest question is, is the RC as responsive as the RC pro? They say the RC pro is as responsive as a FPV controller like the avatar, if it isn’t then that’s where the price difference shows plus the extras like brighter screen etc.

[@dwightlewisdronography4137]

My rc pro stuck on the dji boot screen any help?

[@matthewelkin9701]

Strange question…and I may answer it myself. But is there a function to “lock” the controller. Totally understand they may not do this for safety reasons. However I do a lot of climbing and mountaineering and it’s incredibly difficult to be scrambling up something and film without putting the controller in a bag and the sticks moving around even with them unscrewed and spoiling the shot or worse crashing, or leaving it on the ground and having to go back to retrieve it after the shot.

[@charlesdove1345]

Ooo interested

[@MarEXksz]

[@CrashOut328i]

For professionals the pro is a must. Also, from a safety standpoint, you have more security with the pro.

[@1m_megapixels]

I had the rc pro and today sold the RC … android just can’t compete with the smoothness of iOS , I use the n1 and a mini 6 for my setup. It may have a longer setup then the controllers with a built in screen but for myself the experience is of a higher quality, no hangs or delays , nice fluidity in the UI, far less app crashes compared to its android counterparts , if only dji could pair up with Apple to build a controller running iOS with its own bionic soc 😅 if only

[@DMProductions]

If they did sign me up I’ll be first at the store !!

[@nathanhassani5366]

Yeah but regardless of IOS or android, the N1 controller still isn’t as responsive as the rc or pro for that matter, the RC and Pro are based on FPV controllers, which are more precised than the N1

[@dowi6165]

I will wait for the DJI RC-2. The Pro is too expensive. For a little bit more you have a DJI RC Plus, but that one wont work with the Mavic 3 Pro 😁. Now i fly with the RC for both M3Pro and M3Pro (Mavic & Mini)

[@dbcooper7326]

There is talk of the mini 4 ie. 2" camera sensor with 8K video and 10x optical zoom Weight under 200g Flytime 45 minutes 360 degree sensors both horizontally and vertically Ocusync 5 Remote with 10" screen that runs both iOS and Android software Maybe worth the wait

[@beware9031]

I agree with CheeseHead. If dji reduce the price to something more reasonable then I'll get one for sure.

[@WA4OSH]

I can't add any applications into the DJI RC such as a PDF viewer app (for instruction manuals or sectional maps) or various mapping automation apps.

[@electriceyeslide5959]

Many people aren’t getting the whole picture with the PRO. If you’re out A LONG WAY from your drone, you’re still getting 1080p/60. This controller also has the FPV stick controls for finer grained controls. The live-streaming function is also going to be insane. I would say bite the bullet and get the PRO because when Mavic 4 comes out you’re all going to want one then. RC is great for the Mavic 3, but I sure as hell won’t be flying the 4 on it when it comes out. RC is great for the money, no doubt about it though.

[@TheXone7]

And what is Mavic 4 will be Ocusync 4? ;)

[@electriceyeslide5959]

​@TheXone7 Occusync gets upgraded a lot slower, I think the Pro will still be the controller to have when the 4 hits. That is if it's not banned in the US when it releases. Lol.

[@DroneManMurphy]

I’m not currently able to get the RC Pro but I am considering it because of the lag I’m experiencing with the RC, especially when I lose signal or get near that point. It seems like when the signal returns the RC controller still lags for a bit with control and video clarity and results like that can lead to crashes, which I’m already past my preferred quota on. 🤦‍♂️😂

[@wrybread]

Quibbling, but you said the disadvantage of having to use the N1 controller is that you have to use your phone. That's not true! The advantage of the N1 controller is that it works really well with tablets like the iPad. I never use my RC controller, the N1 with an iPad is such a better controller.

[@TheGeordietheWitchandtheWench]

The Pro, has video out, has live feed and over IP. Which I need. So it's a simple choice for me :-)

[@BlueDroneBlues]

Liking the RC controller with my new Mavic 3 Classic. If I need anything outside the normal controller like internet etc. I will just use the iPhone. I can always buy a shade protector for the screen 📺 so I don’t have to use the highest contrast setting. Contrast kills your battery like crazy. What good is a pro controller with 1000 nits if the battery is going to be dead in a couple hours? The Pro controller is way over priced. Making that controller in China 🇨🇳 probably costs them $20 bucks and they sell it to us saps for $1,200.

[@B0M0A0K]

I just bought the DJI RC Controller. In my mind the biggest drawback is the lack of ability to install third-party apps, such as AirData or Litchi. Because you have a file browser on the "Pro" you can do it on that device, but not on the "standard" RC Controller. It's a big drawback. You also have to be careful with registering the RC Controller as you won't be able to go back to the N1 controller and get access to those apps via a phone or tablet accessory. The backward compatibility has been removed by DJI. Having said that, there's no way I would spend out all that money on the "Pro" controller. That's just a cash grab by DJI.

[@YAOG]

Is there a lot that Litchi can do that the Mavic software cannot do? Waypoint missions, etc?

[@joschspike9705]

I like to use the RC Pro. A Real Smartcontroller.This DJI RC is not enough for me. I need HDMI Out and can use it with other Drones, like Mini2, Air 2S and Mavic 2 Pro

[@ctrl_alt_del]

So the RC PRO works with the mavic 2 pro ? You have flown with it to confirm ? That would make my decision much easier if this works with m2p

[@ozstockman]

in my opinion neither of them cost the money DJI is asking for them. They could probably make double on them even dropping the price two times but they just do not want to. However right now they are selling Mini 3 with DJI RC with just AU$190 extra(about extra US$120). This is not much to add in order to get away from using a smartphone.

[@richfeather]

Nice review! Thanks. QQ: does the RC Pro support all DJI models? That ability might make it worthwhile as the DJI RC is pretty limited in its support of their drones...

[@DMProductions]

the rc pro works with the same drones as the rc too now, air2s, mini 3 pro, mavic 3 and classic

[@bananashorts8995]

to be honest, the biggest dealbreaker is the transmission. I found alot of people say that the transmission is bad on the RC. The RC-PRO is just my personal preference, and now that you can get it with the M3P, i think that's the way i am going to go.

[@DMProductions]

[@Erikih]

I was wondering of the RC Pro is compatible with the older drones like the Mavic Air 1. Other controllers aren't compatible with the Air and it looks like the only controller that supports it, is the controller it came with. The Mavic Air 1 uses the DJI GO 4 app instead of the DJI Fly.

Question, when I got the Mavic 3 and RC Pro, I got rid of my Air 2. Now I just received a Mini 3 Pro with the RC. I know I can use both controllers with either drone, however,. do you have to take the time to rebind each controller each time you change drones? If so, I think it would be easier and quicker to use each controller with one drone. RC Pro, Mavic 3, RC with the Mini 3 pro, as I got them.

[@BlairAir]

You must bind to keep Flyaway insurance active, plus if it's not bound, I worry about any Care Refresh case you might make. That said, I generally do care refresh for a single year only, though I might make an exception for Mavic 3. Then again, it's $239 USD, so we will see. They gave us 4-5 extra months for early purchasers/pre-orders in late 2021, so I have until Feb/March to decide. Also, there is the annoying 5 flights as "guest" without re-binding to your account 🙄-exactly how many flights a thief would get if they forget to steal your bound controller with the drone, or pick up a lost DJI Drone and try to "adopt" it, lol. FYI I find both drones (Mini 3/Mavic 3) trouble-free with RC Pro (RM510) but often had issues flying Mavic 3 with RC (RM330) I sold my OG Smart Controller and missed flying Air 2 with it, but with Air 2 sold, and all the updates to RM510, custom button combinations galore, I don't miss that SC anymore!

RC pro is for me

[@touring4973]

Yes. Price difference is just too much to consider otherwise:(

[@amsfanman]

You can buy extra batteries for the controller? Are they easy to change? BTW I love your channel.

[@user-jx3jp3gb4x]

the internal batteries are not interchangeable

[@jamesbarratt593]

You made this video just to make a video. Its obvious its much better. Look at the price difference. I have the controller. Its screen is bright and clear. Its range is awesome. Battery life amazing. All round its a better controller and if you can afford it buy just the drone body and get this DJI RC pro controller. I also got the fly more kit.

[@johncarlos7810]

Hate that the screen is on the bottom

[@a2tomm]

kind sorta not related I am using the air2s and mini3 and am running into battery problems with RC ,can i use a battery to hold it up or keep the rc charged longer ??

[@NickHarbornePhotography]

I've spent a whole day filming a beach racing 50's style event and was running out of battery life flying my mavic 3 constantly changing between my 4 batteries the solution is a battery pack and an cable i just plugged my RC in and charged while using 👍🏻

[@albrunelle2022]

If you have the financial means buy the RC Pro it is far superior

[@DMProductions]

Spot on

[@ARMgear.]

Is RC losing badly? Thanks!

[@droningwesternaustralia]

If DJI was to make the DJI RC comparable with the MINI 2, then they would have the best controller available.

[@RIchardleepr]

You KZbinrs should start putting pressure to DJI to allow Streaming in the RC controller basic. Is a worthless piece of tech when it comes to streaming. The shame is that lower end controllers have this feature installed. A simple software update will fix that

[@johnbarrington5049]

The price would be easier to swallow if DJI wasn’t known for planned obsolescence. I don’t want to drop $4k in a set up to have it die in 5 years.

Battery life is much shorter then the RC controller as well.

[@Andydigital80]

You mean battery life is much shorter on the RC Pro. The RC has a larger (W) battery and longer run time due to lower clocked CPU in the RC. RC Pro run time 3 hours (5000 watts) - RC non Pro 4 hours runtime 4 Hours (5200 Watt)

[@leemingdesign9577]

Don't waste your money on the RC. It's a piece of crap. Slow and dim and plagued by disconnections. I tried it for a week then sold it and bought RC Pro. 10 x better.

[@Bill14886]

No way will I pay that kind of price for a controller that probably cost $100 US to build. China 🇨🇳 already get enough of our money.

[@zomakblah7804]

I hear they upgraded the firmware and AIR 2 can now use it... can someone confirm that?

[@the6ofus780]

Rc pro for me
