Great video. The update went perfectly. You do have to put each battery into each drone and do a firmware update individually. I have been out flying the Air2S with the RC like the drone is brand new. I can now see me using them equally as much now. The Air2S for local stuff and the mini 3 pro as my travel drone. Luv them both.
And, it fits perfectly in the combo bag for the Air 2S. As it is a bit larger than the standard remote, I worried that it would not fit, but it actually fits better than the original remote!
Thanks for that it really helps us just updated new firmware to RC and air 2s camara doesn’t seem to Zoom in or out is there any think I am missing out any help would be appreciated.
This video is exactly why I watch your channel. Yes, I could have figured this all out, but it would have taken me 5 times more time. Really appreciate you. Thanks.
Hey Shawn - thanks for what you do! I just got my first drone for Father’s Day - the Air 2S with the RC controller…. Thus this is a perfect video for me!! Thanks again!! 😊
For the life of me I don't understand why they even did that.. the signal strength on the new R C is the weakest of all DJI controllers!!!!!! The New R C will give you less range!!! This isn't a good thing!!!!
It may have the weakest signal, but unless your doing drone strikes over Ukraine with it and need every last bit of range, it should be more than sufficient. I haven't had any trouble with mine with the Mini 3.
That's true but here in Ireland I can only legally fly 300 meters away. Brought my drone to Spain last month. Maximum distance 500 meters. Both countries are obviously part of the EASA regulation region.
@@GrendalTheBeasty Save the madness dude,,,I ,, nor anyone else for that matter naads to be doing Ukraine Drone strikes to want to fly our Drones according to the specs that are listed on the information given on the Drones when we decided to buy them!!! Save all that insinuating BS!!! I'm talking facts!!! People like to explore with there Drones,,sore threw the sky... If my drone has the ability to go 5 miles,,, I damn sure can't enjoy that if my controller only holds the signal for less then.. Scientific fact Brain!!! Leave the Ukraine war were its at,,, This has nothing to do with that... People like you start shhhg from nothing,,, go find something else to do..... Ukraine war,,, like what,,thats the only thought that came to mind for you????? TH is wrong with you???
@@CaminoAir For your situation I do understand why you want it ,,, that keeps you in the legal aspect without mistakenly going over the limits... At the same time you have the ability to set it parameters of your drone,, in which case would be good for you being that you travel the way you do... I do understand that different Countries have different rules when it comes to flying Drones,, and don't get me wrong,, the controller is a Very Nice piece of Equipment,, buy to sell it with a Drone that has higher specs thean the Controller means you will never get the ((Full Experience)) of said Drone... I have the R C,,ND-1,,& R C Pro... I personally tested the 3 with on the A2S & MINI 3 Pro as alk 3 are compatible with both Drones as of last night.....
@@KNIGHT-FLIGHT Yes, I do agree with you. And the standard RC-N1 is a very reliable and solid controller, with good signal. Also, the C2 label for the Mavic 3 requires that tracking from any object is limited to max 50 meter distance. I'm lucky in none of the regulations being too strict for the photography I do. Other people will have more issues to think about before making a buying decision.
I got the RC for Christmas and love it. FYI...I saw someone suggest opening the prop blades before start up as it is less torque on the motors. I noticed when they spun up, the drone moved a bit. Just a suggestion I thought I would pass along.
Great video. Any word that the DJI RC will also be compatible with the Mavic Air 2? It would be a nice upgrade for a dedicated controller.. the RC pro is out of my budget for a weekend filmer for a controller that costs as much, if not more than the drone itself.
I've been waiting for the RC for my Air 2S for so long! The RC Pro was too much for, as I have already spent a lot on my Air2S. I hope that future drone models will include RC's like this.
The RC Remote is great, and even though it is a bit bigger than the standard remote, it fits the bag perfectly that comes with the Air 2S Combo kit. Just received my new remote and have it bonded to the drone. Can't wait to fly it!
Having gone from the mini 1 to the Air 2s, I am more than happy with the standard remote I got with the air2s. It literally only takes 10 seconds to connect my phone, that I need for orthomosiac software anyways. Plus I've read the connection isn't the best. Its great people who really wanted this for their Air can finally have this, but I'll just save my money for something more practical.
The signal is strong, and the worry about the dark screen is completely gone. Best remote out there for the money. Some even like it more than the higher priced remote.
I am curious what people think about the controller. Wouldn't you rather have the control sticks positioned below the screen like it is on the other controller when you connect with your phone or tablet ? It looks like it's upside down. Do your hands get in the way of the screen?
I also worried about the same thing, but purchased the RC Remote anyway. After putting it in my hands, those worries completely disappeared. Extremely great fit in the hands and the screen is not at all blocked. Win Win!!
I did the firmware update now I can't run mapping missions on Dronelink.i get a error (Code: 180) and can't take off I called Dji but they told me to get in contact with dronelink cause dji doesn't have no error code 180.,,😔
Since the air2s is already over the 249 G limit why don't they just upgrade the battery as well...🤷♂️...so it can fly longer. Like the DJI mini 3 😁 ...then I would definitely go out and buy this drone..or are they...😃..because this drone is just big enough and just small enough for my needs..
Information important for Air 2s drone pilots who are considering purchasing the RC controller. The Cruise Control feature ONLY works for Hyperlapse. That's really a pity!
hello and congratulations for your video, I have a brand new air 2s with firmware version 02.04.2150. I'm thinking of hacking it but I'm not sure yet.. but before that I'd like to check the drone board by doing an upgrade.. I connected the drone to the assistant but it only allows me to upgrade to the latest version which basically locks the possibility for hacking.. ..so is there any way to be able to upgrade to a version before the last one for example on 02.04.2190 ???
Will this effect DJI Care Refresh at all if not bound to the original remote? The DJI RC originally came with my Mini 3 Pro so, will binding it with my Air2S or vice versa change Care Refresh in any way?
Is it OK to update the firmware even if I dont have the dji rc Remote, can I still use the old remote with out any issues? any advice, will surely appreciate yer help.. I'm a newbie.. Thanks!
Hi By chance did you also experience not getting much range with the new rc controller and the air 2s? I can barely get to a distance of 3000ft over land living on an island with no mountains.
I've seen two others mention it in the comments. I too am hoping to find out any information on if the RC will be compatible with the Air 2 and if not...why? Thanks.
I want to add it the "settings" area of the app is found in two places. Go to the "profile" area to look for the firmware update you'll need. The settings option in the top right doesn't navigate there.
It is now completely compatible. I just received my new remote and it connects perfectly with the Air 2S. You simply download the firmware to the controller and drone and the package is ready to fly.
You don't mention that the controller is binded to a certain controller, e.g I followed your instructions using the N1 controller to update the Air 2S firmware. Then when I used the RC controller and paired it with the Air 2S, a warning came up to say that I only had 5 flights before it would restrict using the RC controllers not was not bonded to the RC controller. I cancelled that warning, but then another box came up asking if I wanted the RC controller (quoting the serial number of it), bi nded to the Air 2s, which I clicked yes. I had been using the RC controller with a Mini3 pro. Does this mean if I want to use the RC controller with the Mini 3 pro, I have to unbind the RC controller from the Air 2S? No one seems to mention this. All they show is selecting what drone you want to use on the RC controller.
I almost bought another DFI-RC Controller, because I thought that the one talked about so much was something different then the one I got with my Mini 3 Pro, but thanks you and your video here, I was able to successfully pair and control my Air 2s, but I do have a question about something that pops up when I “Go Fly”. It says that the “Connected device not bound to aircraft”. I have a limit number of times I can fly the Air 2s. So what is Bound Device and what does it do? Does it mean that the RC was originally set for the Mini 3 Pro and after a bit it will stop allowing the flight of the Air 2s?
Basically that has to do with the care, refresh and flyaway coverage. You don’t have to bind it they do give you an opportunity to fly it without, but if you do have flyway coverage, it’s a good idea to bind it to your account.
Anyone else get weird error messages? my RC controller says aircraft firmware not compatible :(. Even thought my air 2s is updated. Dang, I was so looking forward to this day.
me too. cant figure it out. it IS bound because you have to do that anyway, and once you do it comes up saying aircraft firmware not compatible. im not sure what to do.
I haven't had any issues with RC and my Mini 3. Can fly it 2500ft+ away from within my car, which is metal and blocks the signal obviously in an area with a ton of wifi routers. It may have shorter range than the base controller, but I feel like it isn't relevant.
@@GrendalTheBeasty Pretty sure the "base" controller (RC-N1, I assume?) has the exact same range as the RC. Peter is referring to the Smart Controller that came packed with the Air 2S a couple years ago. It has OcuSync 2.0 and a shorter range than the RC, RC Pro, or RC-N1. I am in the same boat as I also have this Smart Controller with my Air 2S and am wondering if it's worth the investment to change to an RC now that they're finally compatible with the Air 2S.

Great news. Going to buy the RC now that it’s compatible with my Air2S
And, it fits perfectly in the combo bag for the Air 2S. As it is a bit larger than the standard remote, I worried that it would not fit, but it actually fits better than the original remote!
Will it ever work with the Air 2?
That's what I want to know

That is perfect. Waiting for my new RC to arrive to use it with the Air 2S. Very nice instructive video
Sooooooo many people still use the Mavic Air 2, why would they leave it out. I would buy the remote if it was compatible with my Air 2.
And my Air 2 is still a bastard child . Thanks DJI
Lol 😊

Any idea when for the MA2? Thanks
Hey Shawn - thanks for what you do! I just got my first drone for Father’s Day - the Air 2S with the RC controller…. Thus this is a perfect video for me!! Thanks again!! 😊
IMO The biggest update appears that Remote ID is now installed or active in all of the devices mentioned and can not be rolled back

I just broke one of the stick on my old rc controller...instead of fixing it....i might just upgrade now

Hoping DJI will support 3rd party piloting apps (i.e. Litchi, Maven) on the DJI RC....
Awesome video Shawn... shared it to my groups that have friends who have the air2s and been waiting for the RC compatibility
Thank you that’s greatly appreciated.
Great video. Any word that the DJI RC will also be compatible with the Mavic Air 2? It would be a nice upgrade for a dedicated controller.. the RC pro is out of my budget for a weekend filmer for a controller that costs as much, if not more than the drone itself.
Is possible transfer photo straight from drone like was possible with rc n1v
Thanks for the video sean! I would love for it to work with the air 2 ??
Yeah, I want to know if this will work for the air 2 as well, I found a good deal on one that the owner lost his mini 3.
Thanks but when I do the same it warns me it will only work 5 times with options to un bind remove or continue? Thanks
Is DJI RC Controller compatible with the DJI Air 2?

Great video, now DJI just needs to update the Air2S camera to enable the zoom function in photography mode.
Thanks for the information!
Do you know when this will happen or if ever
It’s beer fustrating that’s it’s not

Does the mini 3 not pro version of the RC work with the air 2s?
do you know if it works with the mavic air 2
Unfortunately, at this point, it is not compatible
It will be nice to carry 2 drones and one remote in certain cases.
Pan, Pan, Pan...not the precursor to mayday.

Same. I’m still rocking the Air 2 myself. Got the new controller with the mini 3 and really enjoy flying with it.
really want the rc to come out for the air 2
I want to add it the "settings" area of the app is found in two places. Go to the "profile" area to look for the firmware update you'll need. The settings option in the top right doesn't navigate there.
Is this DJI RC controller compatible with the Air 2?
Nice video Shawn! I cannot wait to update my Air 2S now and start using the DJI RC Remote.
is it true the rc will not allow to record above 30 fps?
So you think it will be compatible with the air 2?
I have a question. Does RC controller still works with DJI Air 2S because from the DJI website they have removed Air 2s from compatibility???
