The Smart Controller just looks and feels more premium! I have both.

Thanks for covering this topic. I had a strong curiosity about the Smart Controller but considered the price tag to be a barrier at the present. Now I don’t feel like I’m missing out so much. I know I would be disappointed with the battery life as I often fly through my three aircraft batteries putting in 100 minutes of in air time.

Welcome to the channel and wow that’s a lot of air time for each day out…good for you….i actually purchased a fourth battery as I do a lot of commercial flying on days where I normally wouldn’t fly…(high winds) which eat up quite a bit of battery each flight….on those windy days I rarely get more than 25mins of flight time per battery…..

The range/signal of the DJI RC outperformed the DJI RCN1 in my experience. The DJI RC does run the Fly App a little slower when it comes to menus and touch screen responsiveness. This does not at all effect the stick controls, so that is not an issue. I just wanted to add my experience. Great comparison video!

I just purchased the RC controller and took my first flight yesterday and it was great. Phone dimming no more. It wasn't overly sunny so I will see how it performs in Sunlight.

I’ve the original Smart Controller & with my 2s & Mini 2 it still works fine .. I wouldn’t fly the distance shown anyhow … one major plus for the original you didn’t mention is the large amount of drones it can fly with from Phantom 4 pro , the Mavics, Air & Air 2 & Mini 2 compared to the new RC which is nearly as redundant now as Original Smart controller since your vid a New version with the Air 3 is out .. If something works for you I still use it so stick with my set up now .. DJI have become like Apple products.. as soon as you buy one it’s nearly old tech .. also buying more attachments filters etc is costly.. Thanks for review ☘️😀

Good comparison. Unfortunately for me I need the flight automation as I use things like Dronelink and other software a lot, so not being able to install on the RC is a non starter for me. But if I didn't have the constraint I'd certainly be looking at the DJI RC.

Welcome to the channel Barry…: ) And yes I too use Dronelink which is why I switched to the DJI RC Pro to fly my Air 2S kzbin.info/www/bejne/epvLZZWNfLNjo8U

Hey, thanks for doing this comparison. Currently flying the Air 2S with the Smart Controller. I had a mishap and snapped one of the antennas. Super glue fixed it, but it is loose again and it bugs me. Trying to rationalize replacing it with the RC Controller and this info really helps. Plan on keeping the Air 2S for awhile. Better range and no antenna to break along with lighter weight. Think I might pull the trigger.

Welcome to the channel….you won’t be disappointed I love flying with the RC….: ) I’ll be getting the new Mini 4 Pro with the new RC2 and will do a comparison between the RC1 and RC2.. which as of now is not compatible with the Air2s but I would venture to guess that they will add compatibility in the future via a firmware update…

Frank Looks like you ran the range test for the Smart Controller in SPORT mode (30-32 mph) vs the CINE mode (18-19) mph for the RC Controller based on the video. That would probably make a big difference in range would it not?
@ghost1917 Жыл бұрын
Not sure what your referring to, both tests were run in normal mode. Regardless I don’t believe the operation mode affects the signal range.

DJI RC / DJI Fly app lacks the Image enhancement ( LUT ) function which worked well in DJI GO4, and it is very annoying when recording in M-log, because hardly anything can be seen on the display... everything is flat and grey ( as it should be), but also makes harder to make good compositons. I truly hope an update will solve this....

@ghost1917 Жыл бұрын
Welcome to the channel…..The button you are referring to is the 5d button it is a multi function button which can be used to navigate the controller screen when the aircraft is not connected. When the aircraft is connected you can set it up however you would like but the defaults are up: recenter gimbal down: focus/switch metering left: decrease ev value right: increase ev value center press: opens intelligent flight modes….hope this helps….: )
