Also two more things about the DJI RC 1) The Covered USB C port I connect devices like external SSD Drive or USB C Card reader etc in host type mode, the uncovered one is for charging, you will need a proper 20 pin cable to do this ie: the 10GB/s cables, the cheaper cables just wont work. 2) The Photo/Camera Button on the right It is a 2 position button just like a DSLR camera has the function of HOLD this button too does the same thing, for arguments sake you can focus on something close, semi depress the button till you hear the beep that its locked on target then re-frame the shot while holding that button semi depressed and finally full press to take the photo. This makes for some nice BOKAH effects or exposure locking on the desired object.

Your list of timestamps alone got a thumbs up from me. Saves SOOO much time! Thank you.

You answered the most important question for me, which I couldn't find anywhere else. You confirmed for me that I could put a cheeseburger in the carrying bag that comes with the drone. 😁

Best practical review out there. Not just silly range comprasision

I went for the RC based on you (and every other reviewer I found) raving about it, and also because with the RC it's shipping at the end of May vs. ~August without it. Can't wait to try it out!

Excellent video! Very detailed. Definitely answered questions I've been trying to figure out about the RC Remote that are no where on the spec sheets. -Have a blessed day! 👍🏻

Ray, You’ve always been my go to for watch info, didn’t realize you are now my go to for other fun toys as well!! As always - great info, great channel and clever comments and insight! Keep going brother!!

Absolutely love these type of video's. Going beyond the specs and into the details

Dji owes you for all of this. You are a legend.👍🏾

Thanks for this comprehensive review. However, small remark: the hyperlapse way points scenarios CAN be recorded and replayed as many times you want over time. You tap on it and name it the way you want. I recorded the same hyperlapse scenario about 20 times along a 12 months period in order to shoot the progress of a construction in my neighborhood, and did a final video using all the rushes….

Thanks for this video, there are so many questions out there about the DJI RC, and this video answers almost all the them. Nice job.

Thank you so much! Just purchased my first nice drone, and you nailed just about every question I could think of! Even a year later, you still rock for this! 🤟

Found a handy little trick on the overheating drone issue. I stand it up on its butt when I’m just doing quick transfer stuff. The heat seems to dissipate better and I haven’t had that error for a couple weeks now.

Thank you. Even the sales man didn’t give me this kind of detailed information.

Dude this was an amazing video. Answered a bunch of relevant questions

Thanks !!! Just got mine yesterday and I’m trying to get the little things rights by watching every video I can.

Great video! I also really enjoyed your beginner's guide and wind test videos.

Great channel. Brilliant presentation. I learnt a lot . Many thanks!!!

Engaging from start to finish. Fantastic video, mate.

So Helpful! Thanks Ray! I've been a fan/sub for quite some time. Being an air2s owner I'm super happy to hear your take on the compatibility with that bird as well as learning that it is likely we will be able to download 3rd party apps, HUGE. I like Maven and it is very useful, GPS follow me, waypoint missions and more! Please share more on any info achieving that as it become available. Ray, I urge you to try Maven. I've got the air2S or Mini 2 up 50m over and behind me, set "auto Pilot," on the app and tucked the N1 in my jacket. I took off down all kinds of MTB trails. With GPS it is so nice to just keep it well above all tree tops, no constant view needed but still a safe and a cool view. Never had an issue. It has cable cam function with subject tracking. . . and more, lots more. It is not perfectly shot, jerky especially close but reliable, easy to clean up in post with a stabilizer. The drone always shows up a couple miles down the trail positioned, relatively, where I left it. . . ! I can't believe DJI doesn't have that. . . these days, used to. . . I make epic adventure videos, light, fast, technical scrambles and climbs on big mountains and desert venues. Some MTB in there too. . . if you ever need any big epic drone shots I'd love to set you up or with info too, been flying just under 15K feet a few times! Your info and testing is very useful to me, wind! Like knowing I'll likely be able to just take this RC with 2 drones, on my longer trips saving me weight and phone setup for the Air2S with N1. . . Awesome! Please come visit, as an athlete I know you will be impressed and enjoy. Two warnings, don't be afraid of heights and I only use drones in about 2/3s of my trips due to wilderness area restrictions. . . always have an i phone, GoPro and often 360 cam though. . . hope to see you and chat. . .

Thank you so much for all the information about the Mini 3 Pro RC

Thanks for the info. Really helped and answered some questions I had. I used to have the dji phantom 3 many many many years ago and loved it, not had a drone since but just ordered a dji mini 3 with rc controller and looking forward to getting back in the saddle so to speak. Thanks.

Nnever is a man more straigth to the point then you, great video, again ! Thanx

Excellent and very detailed video! Thank you so much!

Every level of this video is Outstanding. You're awesome.

Thanks for this! Just what I was looking for

So addictive I’m going for it. Thanks for another awesome video man.

Great video packed with helpful information, thanks 👍

Bravo! Everything is answered! Love it

Super informative man. Thanks a lot!

Many thanks for answering the questions :) great video!

Very cool. Thanks fam. Gonna check out the other videos.

Awesome video! Great in depth!

Excellent video with loads of information..👏👏👏

Excellent video answered so many of my questions 😁

Always so helpful! Thanks

wait, so the remote without the screen has a longer range than the remote with the built-in screen ?

Super-useful, thanks a lot! 💪

Really great video and very helpful - thank you very much. I was wondering about the new controller having future compatibility issues with future DJI products but it looks like that will not be an issue.

Awesome video. I learned a lot. Thank you.

Great video, I hope they fix the distance issue with a firmware update soon. Seems to be an issue with the monitor remote version

Every question i had is checked. Greatly appreciated 👍🏼

thankyou - you had a couple of things on there that I haven't seen anywhere else and I was at wits end - solved my problem! I owe you a beer !

Thanks soooo much for this. I'm waiting dji rc for Mavic3.

Thanks, very detailed info. These were my exact thoughts about 3rd party apps, someone will hack it the day they get it. I guess I will wait until someone will make a full range test with both RCs

Useful info, thanks :-)

Great content, thank you so much!

This video clarified a lot of questions. Thank you very much for your video! Of course I will subscribe to your channel with notifications on! Cheers! 🤡

thanks for this super helpful

Quick,usefull review !!

Thanks for the reviews! Few regulations in the Philippines but that could change soon.

Awesome video!

Great! Excited to watch!

Good review. Range is important for me, so that the mini3 controller is not for me. Great review as usual, and yes, I'm subscribed. Why would I want to miss all this tech goodness ?

Awesome vid mate

Thank you!

Really useful, thank you

Good informs, thank you

The cooling tip was really good to hear. I was just updating the FW on my Air 2s and it was melting after maybe 15 minutes of updating. Now I know why.

Yes, you got to do the range test ! Please )

Stroopwafel WiFi. Love it.

Thanks for in-depth responses to all the questions. I’m kind of bummed that there’s no live capability.

Wow great, the thing I mostly concern was if the DJI RC works with my Mavic 3, good to hear that

Thanks!

Great vid as usual. I haven't read through the comments yet, but I believe the range dropping out has more to do with frequencies used in europe than a limitation of the drone/controller. I've been out over 3km (illegal yes, but on my property). Keen to get my hands on the new rc2 version.

I am glad i bought the RC pro. I dislike the brightness of my DJI RC. Its not bright enough for outdoor use in summer. It wouldnt surprise me if the range is also better with these external antennas. We will see when its compatible with the Mini 3. I hope soon.

super useful! seems not worth the cost having already the basic unit- not being able to directly share from the phone is a big no-no in usability

YOUR GIVING AWAY DRONE I REALLY LOVE DJI MAVIC MINI 2

thank you! we are lucky to have you!!!

I recently purchased one with my mavic 3 classic, and it allows the for both the setting and saving of way points directly from the home screen. It is a little S shaped line with little dots along it, located on the left-hand side of the screen in video mode. After setting the way points, you can set the speed, starting point, and where it will go after all the waypoints are completed ex. RTH before you begin.

As of August 23rd the range with the mavic 3 is compatible to my standard controller…I was pleasantly surprised

Turning your drone on is a must while you're caching maps into the RC? Some insist it works fine when the drone is off status. Thanks for your video! They are always helpful!

Stroopwafel, nice

Such a small screen and no way of connecting a decent size one (at present I use a Galaxy tab 7 fe), good honest video

Thanks...you just saved me $150! 😁😁😁

Dude, very informational video. One thing I want to mention. It is about your talking speed. It looks like you have a train to catch. Maybe try to just slow down a bit. Just a happy face, do what you have to do. Good video!

Wow, didn't even get 1 mile with RC? Yikes. Reception is kind of a big deal for me as sometimes I am flying behind buildings and through trees. I have the RC Pro and I am loving it!

What's the point of fake occusync 3 when the controller only manages 1k stable and they claim 12km

To download maps you don't actually need to have the drone on.. you can get to the map (normally in the bottom left-hand corner) by clicking on connection guide, then camera view, then click the map

2:13 this is a hardware thing in order to make it cheaper or maybe because of parts availability. There's a small module that goes alongside the standard USB-C card that is needed for HDMI video out. The same thing happened when Nintendo came out with the Switch Lite. The Switch can do HDMI out of the USB-C port on the bottom but the Switch Lite can't because it's missing that one small circuit.

As expected, outstanding.. Re the range issue, as you are in the EU and flying under the CE specs the issue continues as expected. It will be interesting to see what if any issues come up in FCC land... Also, it will be good to see a range comparison to the R1N1 RC in CE land... No doubt, in time, Alientech and/or 4Hawks will come out with kits for extended range for the DJI RC...

Hey Just received the DI Mavic 3 Classic and the N1 remotes is working with the Mavic 3. Had a bit of a problem getting the two to pair but after a software upgrade and after a cold reboot of the pair, they paired up and I could see my dinning room table on the N1.

Thanks for the informative video. I do have one question: I often find myself out biking and wanting to film myself with active tracking. How to you stow away your controller while out hiking/biking/running and using active tracking? Any sort of boxes/cases or maybe some screen lock or stick lock of some sort?

Very informational, thanks. I was looking to get this package but am concerned about the range. Mabye you could do a little range test compared to the normal RC remote. Thanks for the vids!

Really hoping a 3rd party solution for boosting transmission/receiving comes out for the DJI RC

If those are 1/4 20 taps on the bottom of the remote you could just use some 1/4 20 clamp arms to attach that remote to whatever. Also range seems to have been fixed with an update.

Awesome review. You answered all my questions. Would you say connectivity is similar to that of a wifi (previous Dji wifi drones)? Thanks!

Oh come on, major props for this honest and fact filled video! Especially brave speaking about the range. As I understand some are saying that the range was reined in by the pre-release firmware so please let us know if anything changes. I was concerned about the range between the smart rc and normal rc but I guess at 1km it's WORSE than my mini 1 lol.. it HAS to be the firmware, no way it's that bad haha. Also a lot of youtubers and others freak out about range test.. The big thing with range tests is the further you can control the drone means that in real usage it will have a very steady signal at close range Also I decided for the normal RC anyway unless we can run apps like litchi or dronelink .. even then I'm not happy about the low res screen recording 🤔

thanks for another great video. A quick question about the bag: do you think you could fit a dslr-camera with the drone aswell as the controller in the bag? Would be convenient to have one photo-bag, and if I could queeze it in there that would be great.

Can you use the DJI RC Pro remote with the Mini 3 pro??

Great video and your beginners guide is invaluable for me as I've just purchased the Mini 3 pro with the RC controller. I don't get any previews though on the RC when I press album. Is there something in the settings?

Great review! lots of gems! Do you know what size the thread is on the new joystick threaded posts?

This is the video I've been waiting for, thank you!!! Please forgive the lengthy post and questions but I value your input. I have an RC Pro and Mav 3. I want to get the Mini 3 and I like the lighter weight of the Mini 3 Pro controller, however, I am more interested in range and signal strength and I am wary of the internal antennas on the Mini Pro RC. Assuming the two controllers will eventually be compatible with the two drones (and I welcome your thoughts on that) should I keep my RC Pro and just get the Mini 3 without a controller, or should sell the RC Pro and get the Mini 3 bundle? The relative cost of the two options isn't really a factor. Thanks again!

This is so good, thank you. Can I ask please, what would you need to screen record for? I'm new to the RC :) And what do you need the sd card on the RC for? Thank you!!

Would be great to see a range test between RC and non-RC version whether the same range issue appear or not.

Thank you for your time and expertise,,,, I have subscribed, will watch all your great videos,,,

Thanks for great videos. Can you do a range test for the latest DJI 3 drones - mini 3 pro and mavic 3 ? 🙏🙏

Can you please make a range test with this 3 remotes? Of course, when all will work with the same drone. Thanks 😊

Thank you so much for this! One more question - why 2 usb-c ports? Do they have the same or different functionality?

greetings from Austria ;-)
