Kelly, Great video here. Tons of really good information and I was really glad to see you do the battery test because I suspect that the 2.5 hours DJI claims will be of course approx. but with the screen at 100%. Lots of Reviewers were kind of bashing it because they claim the standard controller would go longer. One thing most or some of them don't know is that you can plug new Smart Controller into an "Aux Power Source" WHILE using it and keep flying. Awesome Q&A video.
Thanks Mel! I had no idea that you could move the gimbal left and right by swiping your finger on the screen! Thanks for bringing that topic up. And I was shocked how long the battery went for. I was actually ready for it to drain so I could eat supper, but it just kept going. Also - I just saw your text and answered. Sorry - Philip beat you to it this week!
how do you know how far you can fly with the smart controller before it loses connection? is there a warning somewhere or you just fly til it says lost connection return home?
Can you help me I have Mavic Platinum keeps coming up with "SYS warning Check App" on my controller. What is it talking about and how do I clear it? Thanks regards Richard.
Yes, Kelly. I agree with you. I got all excited about the Smart Controller and was over it in about one day. WAY too expensive and my iPad Mini works great. It fits perfectly in the jaw of the standard controller with a bigger screen. Need it? No way. Even at half the price, I see no need for it. Thanks for all you do, as always.
Hi my smart controller in nearly full up I have about 2gb left because of all the updates on the go fly app it has taken up a lot of storage should i do a factory resetting? Could you help me
Please forgive me if this has been answered I didnt have time to read all 221 comments but why do I need a SD card in the controller if I have one in the drone? Thank you in advance
Exactly! There's a card in the drone , why also one on the controller? What's the purpose? Does the drone footage also automatically transfer to the Smart Controller? There's nothing on this....
Great video as always, appreciated. Couple of minor points ... 8:44 in relation to the SD Card speed, I think that message on screen was referring to the SD Card in the Mavic Pro2, not the controller. Other point was a tease, at 13:18 you ask why the smart controller is not available in the US as of January 13, 2018 .... Because it had not been released at that time (probably still in Alfa/Beta stage) :) Haha ... Gotcha. Love the vids, keep 'em coming!
8:35 there actually was a way to use two remotes on the first mavic pro right inside the DJI GO4 App. I'm not sure if it's been included in the Mavic 2 drones though.
How does the pairing work with multiple drones. Can it be used with both my Mavic 2 Pro and my Mavic 2 zoom? Does it require the normal linking for re-linking.
Could you connect the controller to a TV with HDMI input for while in flight viewing instead of phone or pad. Bluetti AC200P power supply and 32 inch flat screen TV in my CRV for camping, ...portable power for days, USB C charging ports too so control should stay charged all time...let me know if you can....live from control to TV Via HDMI
Kelly I have a question. I have the SC and I have the M2P, Zoom and Enterprise Dual. I linked all 3. What's crazy is the only way you can use the pilot app is of you link an enterprise drone. The SC reboots when you use the Dual to go to pilot app. So my issue is this. If I turn off the dual and put on M2P which, was already linked avd put in inventory won't link because the system is on a different interface and go 4 app is no where to be found. So the only way I can get back to go 4 is link the M2P because it's not in inventory when the system rebooted to pilot app. It's crazy avd doesn't make sense. I have read that if you don't have an enterprise drone yiu can't even use the pilot app unless you have an enterprise to link. So I have to relink to get back to each app. I was hoping you would know anything. Thanks
Hey Michael - I had to read the question a few times to understand what you mean...it's a complicated situation. Unfortunately, I think that DJI is trying to segment the enterprise and pro/consumer lines with the DJI Pilot app. I'm not sure that what you are trying to do is possible..
I need to retrieve the sounds I have downloaded to the Audio folder on the remote to the folder that plays out to the speaker so I can play them. How can I do that?
It uses a WiFi connection for internet . If your phone has hotspot capabilities, you can share your phone's connection with the smart controller via WiFi.
Can you let me know how much memory the 'System' takes up please - I found that my one shows it to be 48gig, out of a possible 60gig internal memory - seems like a lot??
hi this video was very helpfull. just one question. my mavic 2 enterprise dual is being delivered tomorrow. and i received my smartcontroller yesterday but saw that the dji go 4 app is pre installed on it. i know from experience you need to the the enterprise range with the dji pilot app. will the dual fly on the dji go 4 app is it compatable. cause i tried loading the dji pilot app on it. i get to load the dji pilot apk via usb or sd card and it installs but it does not want to finish installation it keeps giving the error to say it is missing a resource file. and does not want to continue the installation. the app is there you can open it but because the resource file is missing it does not want to continue. i guess i can wait and see if it works on the dji go 4 app but 24 hours is a long time to wait to know if you wasted nearly $2000 or not.
How about this question does the Mavic pro the old Mavic controller work with the phantom four version to the ark you think another words can you use the Mavic pro’s controller to control the phantom for version 2.0
Hi Kelly. The P4 V2 got a firmware upgrade to ocusync 2 in Oct of last year. I'm wondering why this wouldn't work with the SC if it has Ocusync 2. Thanks
I have the DJI Smart Controller I use with my Mavic Pro 2. I'm having a little trouble figuring out screen record. It would be great if you did a video about that. Thank you.
Thanks for the video. With the new controller I was wondering if there would be a port for DJI Ground Station Pro. GS Pro is currently for iOS and the iPad only. Have you seen any information about GS Pro, and other apps for that matter. I understand they're using Android for the screen now. Thanks in advance!
Wow amazing technology. Definitely pricey. Appreciate all the information you put out. Do you think it’s worth the price? I want to say thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We are truly blown away from the support from the drone community. To you sir I say thank you again.
Maybe it wasn’t always so but if I’m not mistaking you CAN use the smart controller as master with the normal remote in slave modus. This is for the Mavic 2 range.
I own the 5.5 Crystal Sky...is the DJI Smart Controller worth buying? I feel that the CS can toggle between several drones whereas the DJI Smart Controller can only connect to drones that utilize Occusync 2.0
This question is for Kelly or anyone who has used the Smart Controller. Do you find that you miss the telemetry screen on the standard controller when using the Smart Controller which lacks this screen, info is contained within one screen instead of two. I think I would go the Crystal Sky route so that I wouldn't have to give up the second screen and I could use CS on any DJI controller and not just Occusync 2.0 drones. The FCC not approving DJI's application for the Smart Controller due to partial US government shutdown is plausible. I remember reading about how the shutdown is affecting the FCC.
I personally never use that screen.. but that's because my Mavic experience started on the Air. That said, I sadly can't really comment on that despite having used both.
@starhopper59 see that's a problem, if I buy this my wife is gonna laugh at me and then get mad for buying a controller for 600+dollars as much as her mavic air and it doesn't even come with a small case like the drone does, then I cant justify buying it if DJI includes a small shell case when they start selling them in the US then sign me up.
I love drones and I am 11 and I would like to know if fpv would be difficult or hard for me I own a tello and have a drone sim on my pc and if so what would be a good drone (it must have acro) for 100-200$
You may have the box checked for charging display device from controller in the settings. I fly 4 batteries of M2P and am at about 60% controller power.
@@johnduffield8740 I have the Note 8 without problem. I do not understand how the display device can override the Go4 setting to charge or not charge. Have you located in settings the box to check or uncheck for controller charging?
The screen on the dji goggle is huge, i would never fly without my googles ever again. i use a ipad mini 4 and the goggles, only use the mini as a back up and for telemetry. Goggles are not great for low flying confined videography. But for low or high flying at any kind of distance beyond 100m distance you can see everything clearly. just imagine flying from your sitting room with a 100 inch tv on the wall and that's what the goggles are like. blows me away everytime i fly, if for some reason i have to look at my screen when flying i hate how small everything is after being used to the goggles.
btsc1 I purchased the Goggles and used them maybe 5 times! Without a spotter they’re worthless but kool if you have a spotter! Check out the Epson Goggles now them are awesome
Hey Kelly, thanks for the very informative video! A special thanks for the shout out for Jim Crinan, this is much appreciated. This video was beneficial and cleared up many of the questions I had regarding the new DJI Smart Controller, thank you!
Actually 2.4GHz signals, propagate from the antenna in the shape of a donut. This signal also either bounces or attenuates off of metal and concrete. I like to keep antennas on my Mavic Pro pointing along different planes.
hi Great video. i am on the verge of buying the smart controller but one quick question which am getting several not so sure answers, Does the controller need to be connected to my mobile data to obtain the maps or does the controller work like a sat nav gps positioning? I am getting both answers but more to the sat nav answer. thanks
Great review. Is it something I want - no. I prefer the screen above the controls and would like a longer battery life or swappable batteries like you get with the Crystal Sky and Cendence controllers from DJI. The antennae positioning also leaves a bit to be desired. It seems too hit or miss. When flying, I've a lot to concentrate on. I don't want to be worried about having my antennaes correctly aligned, or changing my controller positioning to ensure good signal.
TJ Parsons A Drone Voyager it already is going to bundle with the M2P M2Z M2E and M2D I own all of them that’s why I’m buying the smart controller as soon as it’s released
Thanks Kelly. I know that you answered many questions but I have one more. On the bottom of the controller there looks to be a couple of 1/4 20 mounting holes. Am I right about that and what do you think they might be for? I use a wheelchair and I mount my controller for my am Mavic drones on to a cell phone mount attached to a bracket that I made up of Monfrotto super clamp etc. I think one of these controllers is in the future for me.
Great question - I asked the same thing of DJI and they told me they were for a "mounting bracket" but didn't give me any other details. I would assume that they could possibly be used in your setup.
Ready Set Drone Perhaps to hook up a lanyard or mount some other sort of sun shade or something. I’m sure that the third-party manufacturers will hit the ground running.
ste hack Sheffield cowboy Nope! Unless you have a second controller. Then you should be able to get it to work with the latest update. But you also will have to be using two controllers. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
ste hack Sheffield cowboy there are other devices that could fit the bill if you already have the smart controller. Like the Vufine. I have not tried this myself yet though so I can’t attest to how good or bad it is.
I fly with an iPad mini 4 and love the screen size just not bright enough, but I don’t think the 5.5 inch screen is big enough. But I like it and if I was going to buy something else it would be the 7.85 inch crystal sky. Same price bigger screen
So, from most of the comments made, the only real down side of this controller is the price? It's effectively the same as having a Crystalsky built into a handset very tidily, meaning I can be ready to take off in a really short time. This is a high end controller that appeals to the serious flyer, not the casual user, and it looks good. People commenting that it won't fit in their current storage case.. well, it's a new product - what do you expect? It's like buying a house with a garage that will fit a Kia Picanto, then buying an Audi A6 and complaining it doesn't fit. I'm buying one, I'm not loaded, but I'm looking into flying/filming seriously, so it looks like the easiest tool to use.
Hey Kelly, question about the dual remote. You can set the smart controller as primary and the original remote as secondary controller ??? That should work (my guess). Thanks for sharing!!

Will it work with 2 different mavic 2s without rebinding them? You know let’s say you have a pro and a zoom.

The P4PV2 also now uses OcuSync 2.0 but no confirmation that it will ever work with this RC.
Are you sure about that? According to the DJI web site, the Phantom 4 Pro V2.0 uses OcuSync. It never mentions OcuSync 2.0 on the web site.
someone knows wich lumix he got, thx for the video by the way
I have 3 Lumix cams. GH5. FZ200. FZ300. They are all great cameras!
Noticed the hdmi port for the Edson BT-35 smart glasses.
That port can be used for any display and is really just a mirror of the screen on the controller, but yes.. I believe it could be used for those.
@@PhilipUlrich can i use the smart controller with the epson bt300 smart glasses ???
ste hack Sheffield cowboy Nope! Unless you have a second controller. Then you should be able to get it to work with the latest update. But you also will have to be using two controllers. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@PhilipUlrich thanks for the information think ill save my money and just use my ipad mini 4 then
ste hack Sheffield cowboy there are other devices that could fit the bill if you already have the smart controller. Like the Vufine. I have not tried this myself yet though so I can’t attest to how good or bad it is.
Awesome! Thank you for sharing!
Great video, thank you!
Great review, thx! Little tip: Don't drain a LiPo battery down to 10%. Decharging minimum @ 15% will boost your battery life ;-)
Quick tip. Hold your finger till the curser shows up then you can swipe your finger in a direction
Thanks!
I fly with an iPad mini 4 and love the screen size just not bright enough, but I don’t think the 5.5 inch screen is big enough. But I like it and if I was going to buy something else it would be the 7.85 inch crystal sky. Same price bigger screen
So, from most of the comments made, the only real down side of this controller is the price? It's effectively the same as having a Crystalsky built into a handset very tidily, meaning I can be ready to take off in a really short time. This is a high end controller that appeals to the serious flyer, not the casual user, and it looks good. People commenting that it won't fit in their current storage case.. well, it's a new product - what do you expect? It's like buying a house with a garage that will fit a Kia Picanto, then buying an Audi A6 and complaining it doesn't fit. I'm buying one, I'm not loaded, but I'm looking into flying/filming seriously, so it looks like the easiest tool to use.
really useful vid!! a question, SD card inside SmartController is able to record FullRes drone footage or just stored cache LowRes files?
I believe that it can record full resolution up to 1080p, but not 4K.
Great review Kelly, thanks sir!
Fantastic!
Hey Kelly, question about the dual remote. You can set the smart controller as primary and the original remote as secondary controller ??? That should work (my guess). Thanks for sharing!!
it does work.
