In this video I cover 10 things you may not know about your DJI RC. Well, it’s actually a few more than 10 but I’m calling it 10. I cover topics such as putting the touchscreen to sleep, adding audio to your screen recordings, attaching storage, charging and even a DIY lanyard!
Have a watch and hopefully you will learn at least one new trick.
As always, thanks for watching!

Excellent, very clear and concise. A shot in the dark. Do you by chance know how to load Apps like the Dronelink (Beta) for the Mini 3 Pro? I think I may have a clue like downloading the APK file onto a PC and transferring it onto a Micro SD Card and placing it into the RC. The only thing (well, probably not the only thing...) is figuring out how to run only one application (Dronelink or Fly) Anyway, thanks again

@SteveCoutts Жыл бұрын

Thanks for the kind words. No, sorry I don't really know anything about hacking apps on to an Android device. I quickly looked at the Dronelink website and looks like you're on the right path with the APK file. The RC doesn't permit app loading like the RC Pro does so that may be the first hurdle. I'm sure eventually someone is going to hack it. Good luck!

Thank you. Unfortunately, neither the DJI RC or RC 2 allow for apps to be loaded on the device. I think it's a GREAT idea and makes perfect sense to have it on the controller. After all, the RC controllers run Android and there is an Android version of the Virtual Flight app, so you would think that DJI could just build it in should they so desire. You can always try submitting a feature request in the DJI Forums (forum.dji.com). DJI has been known on occasion to implement user suggestions so it is always worth a try. Cheers!

You are the guy that can probably answer my question. My Mini 3 Pro and DJI RC controller is still new gear for me and somewhere along the way as I was swiping screens left, right, up and down trying to figure out how to actually navigate within the controller and at some point the notifications box cleared and said "No Notifications" and it's been like that ever since. Where are the settings for that to turn it back on?

@SteveCoutts 9 ай бұрын

I don't believe there is a setting to turn them on or off. They get cleared after a reboot and if you manually deleted them. The pop up automatically as necessary. To make sure they are working as expected, just swipe down from the main fly screen to go in to the first settings screen and tap on screenshot. Go back to settings and you should see the screenshot under notifications. If you don't, just reply here again and we can figure it out. Cheers!

@dgibbsfl 9 ай бұрын

@@SteveCoutts thanks for your feedback and what you describe works as expected. I am learning. I also got used to seeing an "Explore" button in the Notifications box and that is not happening anymore. Getting in to the stored photo and video files is a kind of round about process that is not so intuitive but I am getting there in terms of figuring it out. I still don't know how to download the files off of either the RC or the drone with either of the devices plugged in to my USB-C capable computer and that should be an easy and straight forward process. Instead I have to fiddle with the micro SD cards, pulling them out and etc etc. I also do not know how all of the video/photo files laid down on the drone SD card also end up stored in the RC or how to efficiently manage those files. I did figure out how to delete them inside of the RC Android file system but that is also sort of a fiddly process. I would like to be able to logically plug in and manage all of that stuff through the computer.

@SteveCoutts 9 ай бұрын

@@dgibbsfl You're welcome. Explore should pop up any time a storage device, even an SD card is mounted but it seems to be somewhat inconsistent. There is a convoluted process described in the video on how to browse the filesystem should the explore option not pop up. I'm a bit old-school so I like to pop out the SD cards and copy files that way. I agree with you though, once you get in to the weeds of the Android filesystem layout, it's pretty unintuitive. That does give me an idea for a video because there are many ways to approach it and some are definitely easier than others. Cheers!

@@markyramone62 Yeah, for sure. The price for the RC Pro, in my opinion, feels a bit too steep but it is a pretty big jump up from the RC. Bigger battery, brighter screen, faster processor, double the RX and TX antennas, app loading support, bluetooth 5.1 (vs 4.2), 32GB internal storage (vs 8GB), HDMI port, etc - it's a lot of extra hardware.

@rappere11 Жыл бұрын

I am am coming from the original mini to the mini 3 and am not sure about the new controller. I am tired of my iPhone dimming after a few minutes in direct sunlight to a place where I can't see it so I want to get the new controller but have the option to jump back to the phone if in bright light the new controller isn't any better. Plus it is nice to have maps to find your drone if needed. I know you can download a map but what if you fly somewhere different and forget to? Does hot spot allow you to do that anytime? Also with the phone you be able to have the ability to record your screen with audio much easier? Not to mention 3rd party apps. As you can see I just don't know and wanted to have the ability to try it out without ever wondering if I would have been better off with the regular controller. thanx robert

@SteveCoutts Жыл бұрын

@@rappere11 The new controller isn't quite as bright as my iPhone 12 Pro but it doesn't dim due to overheating, which is a plus. I typically use a loupe in bright conditions. It works ok but it's really meant for 2" DSLR or mirrorless camera screens. A hood of some sort designed specifically for the RC would be better but I already have the loupe so that's what I use. I used the loupe with my iPhone too. I agree with your points regarding maps. It honestly never dawned on me when I chose to go with the new controller. Probably 50% of the time I have to tether my phone for maps or authorizations. Not that it's difficult, it's just an extra step, which makes it a pain. DJI needs to add a feature where you could download maps for a specific region in advance, like a whole state or province. That would be useful. I suspect DJI will release some kind of cellular dongle in the future, which will solve the maps/authorizations issue but that will potentially mean an extra monthly expense for data. I am generally pleased with the RC but it didn't really solve any problems for me. I still need my phone just in case. The RC is slower, it takes longer to boot, the screen isn't as bright, screen recordings/screenshots are an extra step, slower processor than my phone, etc. I do like that I don't have to attach my phone though. I always found that process to be too fiddly. The newer remote where the phone goes on top was much better than the bottom clamp design mind you. Cheers!

I do miss the feature and it would great to have it on the RC but clearly it is not on DJI's radar. You can always try posting a feature request on the DJI Forum (forum.dji.com).

Thanks. Screenshots and screen recordings automatically go the the RC's SD card in "Screenshots" and "Movies" album, respectively. For actual drone captured photos and videos, you have to go to the RC's main screen, go in to Album and download them to the "mobile device, which is the RC. They will appear under "DJI Album" under "Photos & Videos". I probably should have added that to the video. The user interface for looking at all that stuff is pretty terrible to be honest.

Do you think the Dji Rc will become compatible will the mini 2. I didn’t think it would until the mini 3 (not pro) came out and used ocusync 2.0 which is the same as the mini 2. So surely it will become compatible if they both have the same transmission

@SteveCoutts Жыл бұрын

It's funny, I feel the exact opposite to you. I was quite confident DJI would extend RC compatibility to the Mini 2 *until* they released the Mini 3. Why would they now? I know this sounds cynical but DJI doesn't want you to buy the inexpensive Mini 2, they want you to buy the more expensive Mini 3 or 3 Pro. So they incentivize you by making the RC compatible with the models they want you to buy. I really thought Mini 2 compatibility with the RC was going to happen quickly after its release. The longer it dragged on, the less confident I became. The RC is only compatible with the Mavic 3 classic, the Mavic 3 (and Cine), Mini 3 Pro and Air 2S. Notice the pattern? They are all pretty expensive drones. I think it's a real shame because the RC is a great controller at a nice price point. I thought for sure the whole idea behind the RC was to get around Android compatibility issues with older phones AND provide an alternative to the more expensive RC Pro. It feels less and less like that. I hope I'm wrong. Cheers!

Ciao Diego. Grazie per la visione e grazie per il commento. Fuori dalla scatola, il telecomando RC ha installate solo le informazioni della mappa più basilari e di livello superiore. Se desideri avere informazioni sulla mappa più dettagliate quando voli, devi scaricarla. Puoi farlo in due modi. Innanzitutto, collega il tuo telecomando RC a una rete WiFi e dalla schermata principale fai clic su Profilo > Mappe offline. Ingrandisci la sezione in cui prevedi di volare e tocca il pulsante di download. Da questo menu puoi anche gestire i dati della tua mappa. L'altro modo per ottenere dati mappa dettagliati è creare un hotspot WiFi con il tuo telefono mentre voli e connettere il telecomando RC alla rete WiFi del tuo telefono. Il telecomando RC scaricherà automaticamente i dati della mappa per l'area in cui stai volando. Tieni presente che utilizzerà i tuoi dati cellulari. Se non ti interessano i dettagli aggiuntivi, non è necessario scaricare ulteriori informazioni sulla mappa. Spero che questo aiuti, saluti! PS Ho usato Google Translate per passare dall'inglese all'italiano, quindi spero che abbia senso.

DJI goggles, great and supported, droners see nothing but their goggles, not even the ground they’re standing on. At least with smart glasses, you could face the sky and direction the drone would be. With AR glasses such as nReal and Roma already out, why not? See the dones viewpoint and the drone too, and no need to develop the glasses, just the connection. Seems a win win.

What's really interesting is that my Mac won't play D-Cinelike videos unless there are encoded with H.265. Thankfully I chose H.265 when I set up my M3Pro or that would have been a head scratcher. Seems like a bug to me. If it's important to you I would open a support ticket with DJI, which may help them identify and fix the issue. Cheers!

When might it be possible to mirror the DJI RC screen to an alternative screen so that a ‘co-pilot’ can view this at the same time? I was able to do so from an iPhone screen when using the N1 controller. It would be a retrograde step to purchase another N1 controller, I think.

That's anyone's guess John. The RC remote runs on Android so it likely has a similar mirroring feature to iOS. It's probably more a matter of whether or not DJI has any interest in doing such a thing. Pressure from the community always helps so I do recommend putting the idea out there. Cheers!

Congratulations on your new hobby! That's a good question. Off the top of my head I don't know of any videos that would be helpful for you. For me personally I think it just happened organically. The best analogy I can think of is my wife and I got a new car a couple of years back and it was our first vehicle with a rear camera. At first I found myself struggling to "trust" the camera. I always wanted to use my rearview mirror instead. Over time though I have come rely on the camera more than the mirror and it does provide a wider view with less blind spots. I remember my beginning drone flights to be much the same. I didn't "trust" looking at the screen, I wanted eyes on the drone at all times with only quick glances to the screen to changes settings, etc. Over time, as my skills improved, I spent more time watching the screen as I felt comfortable trusting what I was seeing. Best of luck with your drone and happy, safe flying. Cheers!

@SteveCoutts Жыл бұрын

I really haven't fully consolidated my thoughts on it yet as I plan to do a review at some point. I am not ready to make a recommendation but I will share some quick thoughts. Is it worth the extra $150US over the RC-N1? I would say, yes. Lots of extra controls, nice feel, screen looks good, tons more functionality and you don't have to use your phone most of the time. Is it better than using a phone? It depends. I have an iPhone 12 Pro, which is a pretty fast device. If you have a slower phone, the RC may be a nice speed boost. The RC certainly doesn't feel as snappy as my iPhone. I do notice the RC boot time where as my phone is always ready to go. Screenshots and screen recordings, which I do a lot, are kind of a wash. The RC's screen doesn't dim as it heats up, which is a big advantage. Until DJI releases a cellular dongle, you will still need to tether your phone for authorizations and maps, unless you pre-load them. I don't frequently bump in to either limitation but when I do I sure grumble about having to pull out my phone and join the RC to its hotspot. If you already have an RC-N1 and a fast phone, you're really not gaining much. If you don't have an RC-N1 and have an older, slower phone, it may be a nice option. Cheers!
