Nice comparison, I went with the RC Pro bundle when purchasing my new Mavic 3 Pro recently. I was back and forth on the added cost, but most admit it was absolutely right for me. Having that extra NIT and also the HDMI out has proved very useful in a few assignments, and once I get a few more flights under my belt I will need to customize some of the settings to my likings on C1, C2 etc.

"necessary" would be a stretch. If you already carry a $1000 cell phone and or a laptop with these capabilities, you dont need the extra cost in the controller. Its just as easy for me to pop that sd card out and pop it in my laptop or phone even and upload stuff like that, you dont need to have the capability on the controller itself. Its more of a quality of life thing. IF you want the extra capability and to not have to put it down, pick up another device, and so on so forth, then yeah maybe its worth the money to you. Seems to me id be doing the same juggling situation regardless.

Great video Jake. Here is some of the more technical differences between the DJI RC and the RC Pro. The DJI RC Pro is based off the P1 chipset like O3 where as the DJI RC uses the S1 ship set. It’s a cut back version with no onboard processing and they have offload the video processing onto the main SOC of the device rather than it being handled by the SDR. They have also massively reduced the complexity of the design and BOM on the DJI RC with is being much simpler overall design. Basically the DJI RC is a single PCB board with a very cut back SOC and a custom Fly App to allow it to work on the lower performance Hw. The WiFi/BT antennas on the PCB rather than external like on the RC Pro. Its got less battery and only a 2 stage RF front end for the O3 SDR hens the reduction in antennas. They just have massively reduced the overall component count internally. This is very much the same setup as the DJI RC N1 just with a screen. The DJI RC Pro uses a 4 Stage RF front end and far more powerful processor. As a result of this they have the HDMI output and the ability to run 3rd partly apps. It’s actually incredible how well the DJI RC actually works as they have cut it back so much but it’s just the right balance. also I still think the pricing is very aggressive on it but they also likely have a VERY big margin on the Pro. It’s also from an assembly point of view far more complex product the RC Pro and labor will be higher as well. Overall I think the DJI RC Pro is massively over priced and the DJI RC is under priced in comparison.

I should add that the DJI RC, though only 700 nits, is still brighter than many smartphones (I noticed a difference) and that it is a huge leap over the standard RCN1 controller. My only downside was that the sticks don't have much resistance which makes flying seem a little more "virtual" but it is a minor grumble.

Soo many times the DJI RC has lost connection/initiated RTH at 500-800’ ft away. Anyone on the fence between the two, go for the Pro … DJI Refurb has them for $950ish Lot to love about the Pro; 5d button for quick EV control, sooo much more responsive/useable, and perhaps most importantly (and rarely mentioned) the gimbals have far more resolution and makes a night and day difference for precision flying.

I've just put in over 700+ flights in the past 9 months on the RC and I'm contemplating stepping up to the Pro. I just don't see it being 400% in price better. I will pay more for more security of connection and range. The extra brightness is always a plus but it's not 2,000 Nits. I guess if you needed the HDMI output/share then it's a must. Needs more battery life. The Pro seems twice as good as the RC, but not 4X as good as the price suggests.

Ive been flying for almost 7 years.I have owned a P3, P3P, P4, P4P2.0+, Mavic Pro(the original), MA2s, and now a Mavic 3 Pro! I use an ios device on everything as it is always superior when it comes to lag, responsiveness, and overall stability. I knew going into it that I would NOT be experiencing the same level of smoothness but oh boy...it almost makes me want to return the whole kit. Seriously DJI really? You ship a controller (btw NO OTHER OPTION as in to order without a controller at all or the original kind that came with the MA2s) that has nothing but problems with your flagship drone makes me rethink things. Switching cameras is a choir and without fail it will skip a lens, the lag when it comes to switching between shooting modes, changing various settings....man I miss the Go 4 app! They seem to be dumbing things down which is fine for the beginner drones but give us pros (with your PRO GEAR NO LESS!) a pro option! Honestly if I wasnt 4 days over the return period, I would return it and buy it used without a controller and just use mine from the MA2s. Seriously the controller for the P4P 2.0+ might not be as slow as this, but I can fly way more confidently with it. When chasing tall ships or other moving subjects, I cant be waiting on the damn controller to finish taking its nap before switching lenses! From what I have read the Pro controller suffers from the same lag and or overall sluggishness....shame. This single purchase has made me never want to purchase an "all in one " controller from them ever again. Oh and before someone says "but wires and the risk of a phone call!" - lol wires? One wire? Deal with it. Risk of a call? Change the mode of your phone so calls go right to VM! Good video.

A big failing for the RC unit is demonstrated by doing a simple "climb and reveal" move. If you want horizon control, then altitude, gimbal tilt and aircraft slew (pan) must ALL be controlled with your left hand (using the LH joystick and LH thumbwheel). This is unnecessarily difficult. Worse, if you DON"T want to pan during the move, you must be careful not to invoke it with your extremely busy left hand. If gimbal tilt (thumbwheel) could be moved to the RHS, you could use both hands for this common move, requiring a lot less dexterity and resulting in far fewer botched takes. If the RC Pro can do this, it'd be darn near worth it for that function alone.

There is one, and only one deal breaker for my use when it comes to the RC Pro. And that it the screen size. It would be so worth it to me if that screen were at least as large as say, a Samsung Galaxy S8. Not huge, but decent. How DJI can charge that ridiculous amount of money for a controller that is about the same as the standard RC is beyond comprehension. Heck, even Autel has a much larger screen on the high end remote. And Tripltek, if you're listening, if you made a tablet that wasn't so extremely fat and bulky, but with a 10 inch or larger screen, I'd be all over that. I guess for now I'm relegated to using my Galaxy S8 with a sunshade.

I do wish it was a little bit larger too!

The cheaper DJI RC needs HDMI out and this would be great.

Just a note... its not a problem with android devices my man. Your problem is with Apple devices. Those of us who do not use ANY apple devices do not EVER run into this "Android/WindowsPc-Apple/Ios" headaches all you Apple people have. So to say its "a thing with all android devices" would be incorrect perspective, because the "Thing" is actually with Apples ecosystem as a whole. Been a long known thing since 2007 when Apple first popped up in the game and people realized they couldn't Easily just put Mp3's on their phone like android owners could, they had to buy them on itunes...

Not sure what to make of your comparison. I say this because I watched another drone-meister do as range test and he found that the RM330 (RC) out performed the RC Pro by a significant amount -- RC max range (test) = 3.6 km whereas complete loss of signal(s) by RC Pro = 2.5 km. Tester was flying at high altitude with clear LOS (sparsely populated tall hill country). I am interested in resolving these disparate findings as I am having a dang time with my RC & Mavic 3! I'm only capable of 2.2 km max, over water!! Thought the Pro RC might be the answer, but I am not convinced at all now. Also, never read, seen, heard of anyone geting the 30-km range value (per DJI). Heck I would love just 10 km! Cheers Jake! ref. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iZalotuZuZyUd6M.html

well the reality is either one of these remotes will far exceed your ability to see the drone and stay legally flying by staying within line of sight. lol

And so, bottom line. If you want to go the distance? Then. Instead of an additional $900 for the Pro Remote. If you were to get the, Standard Remote. That does not have the built-in viewer. And you have to use your cell phone/smartphone as your viewer. That has the external antennas. And you can put antenna boosters on. And that saves you a boatload of money. If you don't need the additional features that the Pro Remote, has. But want the extra distance. And so you did not cover that aspect. And does the standard Mini 3. Not the Pro, version. But the standard version. What kind of remote does that come with? I have not looked into the DJI websites, recently. Find out what remote that model is packaged with? And/or the non-viewer remote is an additional, cost-saving, option? But you do lose some functions. It all depends on what you need. You might want to have both type remotes? To go the extra distance. If you lose visual sight of it. And don't want to lose the signal. That would be the alternate way to go. And so for most. The Pro Remote is a common needless expense. For a Professional, though? It's something you would get. Something you would have. For its extra features. And then no excuses.. Clients don't like excuses. I haven't gotten myself one of these things, yet. But I've been planning to. In my retirement now. And yeah. It'll likely be one of these Mini 3 Pro's. As they do look great, don't they? But hey for that matter. Even the, Mini 2SE,, still looks great at 2.7 K. Most people can't see the difference, anyhow. Only when we get OCD does it matter. I never get that. I'm a Professional. I just do everything right. And everything looks and sounds great. It's the only way I can deliver it. And so this was a great video. Thank you very much. You verify my decision. Thanks. RemyRAD

Thanks and I would not buy a drone just yet, rumor has it DJI will be releasing a new drone in the next few weeks with a new remote as well
