Mini 3 Pro - Which Controller to get? | DJI-RC vs Standard Controller (RC-N1) + Range Test

[@JeremyToh]

Check out our latest review of the DJI Neo - Is it really a flying selfie? 👉kzbin.info/www/bejne/hmSzepycn8eDY7s

[@NigelNaughton]

Having the screen on the bottom really gets obscured with the hands controlling the sticks. I noticed you barely showed that and so many other channels don't either when comparing the 2 controllers. It's so much better having the screen up top...DJI F'd this up design wise.

[@TheFreeBro]

I have one and my hands rarely ever get in the way. Better design choice. More compact. 10/10 screen placement

[@Moosecoaster]

I agree with Nigel. Just about every time I fly part of my hand bulls the screen changing screens. Annoying.

[@D_Banjo]

Absolutely correct! braindead design

[@uwarrior]

The RCN1 was my first controller, so having it up top feels more natural to me too. My hands did get in the way naturally on the RC, but adjusting them outwardly isn't uncomfortable at all for me. It works.

[@uwarrior]

They get like a 6.7/10 on the design for me.

[@typ8723]

Have both -- hardly ever use the RC. The N1 with iPad combo is just soo phenomenal

[@harleyquebecenrevue3580]

The RCN1 will allow you to use 3rd party apps via your phone for automated program flights, when they become available , like the DJI Mini and Mini 2 now have available, while the DJI-RC locks you in to DJI Fly apps which will be the only software you’ll be able to use, like it or not. Am I correct Jeremy ? If that is the case, then I would take the RCN1 because apps such as Dronelink, Maven and Litchi are absolute fantastic apps to use.

[@derekbrown3181]

This is a great video man. I love the Transformer G1 Cartoon noise.

[@ExHanseat]

Different rc signal strenght is due to automatic chanel select setting on the controlers. If you don't manually select the same channel and frequency band on both controlers, you will always end up with an apple / pear comparison. Tipp: Chose 2,4 GHz in low populated areas gives you greater range than 5GHz, but 5GHz has more channels to choose from in highly populated areas with lots of wifi routers. Since you must fly VLOS in most countrys anyway, this should be not a real problem. Even with eagle eyesight, everbody who claimes to see a Mini 3 Pro at a distance greater than 1 km is a liar.

[@carlose6010]

Againt certain sky's the mini 2 can be seen at over 1 km distance. Sure it's a speck in the sky at that range.

[@вечная_мерзлота]

the bigest issue with cell phones is that they constantly report your flight history to the dji database. also u can be tracked by government as soon as u start flying because your cell is assigned to an IMEI number and they are visible to sertain entities. not with rc pro. so with rc pro u are off grid in a sense and more safe.

[@chadgilmore5046]

Nice Video. Perhaps your signal reduction ~5 km is interference as you pass the Stock Feed plant on the South Gipps Hwy. Get some gumboots next time you venture into Gippsland 😉 Hey can you do a vid to highlight how bad the recent change to maptiler sat maps are on the RC! Play back one of your flights on your RC by going to Profile > More > Flight Data Centre with satellite (not standard) maps to see what I mean. Same terrible maps are there in flight when u try use them. Need to spread the word so they fix it.

[@JeremyToh]

You're really good with maps! 🥇⭐️ Let us look into the Maptiler and see if we can make an interesting & helpful video out of it. As for the interference, we thought the same thing too. But on the first flight with the DJI-RC on Std Battery. We were nowhere near the plant but had the interference (we did rotate the map slightly to help the general audience follow what was happening) ....a friend of mine said it could be the RC swapping from broad frequency to narrower frequency... don't know if that makes sense.

[@Zibi21]

Well with the RC one you are kinda "stuck" with the screen, with N1 you can always exchange device for one with bigger/brighter/faster screen. The thing with the n1 controller is that you can use other apps or run different apps while you fly. Cant do that on RC

[@lee8org]

I purchased my mini 3 Pro with RC-N1 and I did not expect DJI will produce future product with limitation like NO (two) wheels for Zoom and PT(Gimbal control). I already own more product from the past like Mavic Pro and controller for it feels so much more professional.

[@dheller777]

I can only get 4 kilometers max out of the Mini 3 pro in a rural area and most of the time it is around 3 km before I lose signal in FCC mode That said I never come close to running out of battery with the extended plus battery,

[@BenCapewell]

Great video. Really enjoyed you presentation style. You have thrown a spanner in the works, though! I was about to push the button on an RC-N1, and I'd have gone for it were it not for that pesky single shoulder control dial! Everything else I think I can live with, but not being able to control the gimbal and zoom in/out at the same time just seems a limitation too far for me. I'd also like to be able to zoom without taking my thumb off the left stick.

[@DK-vh3gk]

Man!I I can't decide what to do....The MINI 2 is such a good deal right now but the Mini 3 with DJI-RC seems like the logical way too go but is double the price!

[@BenCapewell]

@@DK-vh3gk I can't speak to the Mini 2/3 difference, but I can say that after owning my Mini 3 Pro with RC-N1 for just a few days, I'm already kind of wishing I'd stretched myself to get the RC! I reckon it would be worth £150 extra just to never have to set up the controller before a flight again! Also, I suspect the RC is quite a bit nicer in the hand - the N1 is the same weight but when you add a smartphone it is heavier and, more importantly, becomes less well-balanced in the hand, so your hands get a little bit more preoccupied with holding the controller level rather than concentrating on operating the controls smoothly. That said, it's not a bad experience by any means and I'm having a lot of fun - plus I bought a 3rd party tablet mount so I can also fly using my 10" iPad which looks incredible! On the subject of the lack of independent gimbal and zoom controls on the RC-N1: you can get round this using one of the automatic subject tracking modes so that the gimbal manipulation is taken care of for you while you manoeuvre the drone and control the zoom manually, and that will probably yield smoother results anyway, so I'm not too bothered about that any more. Also, I don't know where you are but the Mini 3 is hardly any more expensive than the Mini 2 from the DJI Store in both the US and UK right now, it's only the RC option that makes the Mini 3 more expensive. So if I were you I'd be choosing between Mini 3 with or without the RC controller, but I don't know what other deals you've seen.

[@DK-vh3gk]

@@BenCapewell Hey man thanks for your feedbacl! I am in Canada, I am actually now leaning towards a MIni 3 Pro simply because of the Obstacle avoidance and Mastershots features.

Just sucks because the Mini 3 is on sale right now in my area and so I am looking at $400cdn more for the PRO... The sale ends by midnight tonight so I need to make a decision...The Mini 3 is good but not sure good enough for what I Want

[@BenCapewell]

@@DK-vh3gk Yeah it was the same in the UK, annoyingly, no promotion on the Pro. But I also wanted the Mastershots feature, higher max ISO and extra safety features so I'm less likely to crash it! I think the additional automonous flight modes in the Pro will be good for video quality as it'll move the drone & gimbal much smoother than you're likely to able to yourself. And it has more control/video range and lower latency. I'm sure you won't regret it! Just try to get the integrated RC if you can stretch to it!
