Nice look at all the current controllers. And making it clear which controllers work with which drones. Great video, and thanks for sharing.
Like always, I learned something from your video. Thanks Billy !
The video I was waiting for!
Great info as always Billy 👍
I love your content Billy. Again a great video.
Thanks for sharing billy 💯
Great vid! My question relates to the controls that are available for the air s3. Would you think that they both work the same regarding signal strength and distance? I have a TRIPLTEK t82 that I love to use with my other drones. Very bright and big screen, only neg is weight, which doesn't bother me a bit. So I would like to go with the cheaper controller as long as it has the same performance as the one with the screen.
Thanks for the info
Good comparison video Billy.
Hello Billie, great video - also the range test in the desert. Like it so much. I have one important question. I have an iPhone 13 Pro Max which I use with my DJI Air 2S. I would like to move to the Air3. Fo you know whether the range and (video) transmission will be the same with controller with or without screen? As both have I think the same amount of antennas? Because my iPhone had mir Nits that the screen controller.
I was ready to tip in and buy the Mavic Pro 3 and RC Pro over the next month but will now hold off.
Great video! the RC2 do you use polarized sunglasses? Any problems?
Have you done a range test on the RC without a display? TY
Didn't mention that the RC's with the screen do not have access to 3rd party apps.
Hello!
With the new RC 2 is aviable a livestreeming for socials and RTMPS?
You missed a very important point between 03 and 04 transmission there is a new frequency in the o4 Transmission
I still love my P4Pv2! Stil does a great job!!
On the other side of things that are not talked about. The range increases are also for remote ID for increased detection by authorities.
do you think DJI will release a firmware for the DJI rc 2 to work with the mavic 3?
You also missed a confusion with DJI O3+ Video Transmission , that the Google v2 uses and the DJI FPV RC 2.
Minor point as I haven't used it properly yet...but the RC2 (screen), the control sticks are a lot more of a faff to put in as instead of screwing IN directly, you have to screw on to a little screw ON the controller... I've dropped them twice, a problem I didn't have on the N2 controller (on my Mini 2, which annoyingly was stolen!)
The only reason why dji would upgrade transmission is probably to guarantee you will not lose signal strength over distance and to also maximize object penetration efficiency. This applies to all the madmans who fly 15km just for the sake of it and then post a dumb complaint. I hope a future o4+ transmission will have 2.7k video. Also @Billy Kyle o4's frequencies include 5.1ghz, so it's 2.4, 5.1 and 5.8ghz frequencies.
I have the rc pro controller. It used os3. I can get over 27,000 feet range. More than enough. So why would dji feel the need to release os4? By law, we can not even fly beyond vlos. So wtf use is to have os4 for further range when you are breaking the law. The only reason they need to release os4 is to sell more controller and get more money. If they stick to os3, people will just buy the drone only and use their controller. By releasing os4, we are force to buy the newest controller to fly os4 drones. Smh
They are very wise to the consumer treadmill, it is evident in their release strategy. I agree with you on the range issue, if they don't wise up regulatory regimes are going to get even more restrictive.
Penetration... besides, no one is expected to "upgrade" to the Air 3 from last years drones. If you have Occusynch 2, then upgrade.
It's not about range, it's about penetration
we all know it is about a good connection with obstructions , but DJI themselves keep harping on about further and further flight distance, I wish DJI would stop advertising this way and just say a better signal connection , politicians , lawmakers etc just see distances in the specs and end up thinking we cant have this and end up making some new law to restrict us even more @@CrashOut328i
Yup. The extra range is just a marketing buzz word to promote the drone haha. The true upgrade is penetration.
Hi. why didn't you test the performance test of the two RC and RC2. how it works with dji fly, did you have any lags and performance issues?
Like so many other things, even lawnmowers, there are so many choices that it confuses people wanting to get into the hobby. I suspect the Air 3 is a waste of money as well as the N-2 unless it is one's first quality drone. I once had to have the latest and greatest sport camera, phone, and drone, however, I now have all I could ever need with the Mavic 3, Mini 3 Pro, RC Pro, Go Pro 9, Insta360 X3, and Note 20 Ultra. One reason is that I don't make money with any of them, but have been into photography all my 77 years, and I can no longer blow money the way I once did.
You "once" had to have the latest and greatest? You own a mini 3 pro? I'd say you still have the problem.
so is the range the same for the RC2 and RC-n2?
Thanks for the video. Many people are going to be confused or at least concerned with the choices. But one thing for sure, DJI is excellent at marketing. It seems very likely (sure?) that a RC pro replacement will come along. This may well look a lot like the current model. Inside it is bound to have a much upgraded cpu since the current one is quite old as computer tech goes and modifications to allow occusync 4 to work--maybe it will be backwards compatible with OC 3. It seems that this could be part of some new drone model to give it some legs--its not a compelling product if limited to the Air 3 since this is a fairly small market. Let's wait and see.
I hope they just make the RC Pro compatible with the Air 3. It’s already way better than the RC 2 still. No need for an upgrade.
hoping the RC2 will become compatible with the Mavic 3. Looks like a huge step up from RC.
mini 3 pro whit RC2
"With" I think you meant to say the RC Pro becoming compatible with the A3. DJI has recently said that will never happen. Many people (me) have spent bank on the RC Pro. And many people like me won't give it up for a little more BVLOS with the new controller.
Great video but you might have underestimated the new RC-2 controller. According to DJI, it has a next-gen processor for snappier performance. I find the RC is slow with commands compared to the RC Pro. Did you notice better performance running the app compared to the RC?
@ Billykyle The newest controller has a built in cooling fan also.
I'm pretty sure that the RC Pro will become compatible, I'm just concerned over how well it'll work. We had a similar situation with the Smart Controller and the Air 2s... it wasn't ideal...😅
Smart controller just had bad range in general
I Just sold my Air 2 with SC for $600 literally on the day my Air 3 arrived. I Hope I like it no turning back lol. Had my Air 2 since 2020 and loved it, I have never flown with a phone only the SC. No issues with distance in my exp. Penetration was 💯 garbage tho.
@@RandyCAstleMPM Well, me and Billy probably fly differently than you do. We tend towards large cities and urban areas. I also had huge issues using the Smart Controller with the Air2s.
@@londenard Yea you right about that. Nothing but cows and Amish around me. Lol. I would love to fly a city you guys put up some badass flights 🤘
Great job Billy ……can you tell if there is a difference in range and penetration between the RCN-2 and the RC-2
Yes, I would be interested to know that as well if the RCN2 same as the RC2. Previously the RCN1 was slightly better than the RC.
Great video explaining the DJI remote ecosystem. From an engineering perspective, I think there is a high probability that DJI will release a firmware update for the RC Pro to enable Occusync 4 compatibility. The DJI RC Pro has a powerful 64-bit CPU and GPU, along with the same 2T4R antenna system as the new DJI RC2 remote. I do not think there will be the same technical incompatibility problem that occurred with the DJI Crystal Sky monitor and the original Mavic Pro/Platinum and the Mavic 2 Pro and Zoom with the original DJI Smart Controller. The technical incompatibility was caused by the Crystal Sky chip architecture being 32-bit while the Smart Controller was 64-bit which is what Occusync 2.0 required. With all that being said, I think DJI will also release an RC Pro 2 transmitter in the near future to provide a premium transmitter option.
Hello, Does Air 3 have SDK so i can use it with other apps? And if so do I have to buy the RC with no screen ? ( Its for Mapping)
Billy, thanks for your videos and service on behalf of droners.
Question: I am a solidly Apple person, and have successfully totally avoided Android. But, the built-in screen has strong merits. How annoying would it be to go with the RC-2?
Asked another way, is the built-in screen worth, what for me would be, the pain of taking on and learning and using a different operating system, setting up a new app store account, re-purchasing drone apps I already have for my Apple platforms, etc.?
You didn’t mention the performance differences. I’m finding the RC2 to be faster all-round and I’m not too bothered about selling my RC Pro from my previous system as a result. The screen isn’t as bright as the pro though.
Hi Billy,....... Just wanna Ask what the New DJI RC with Display still can use with MAVIC PRO first gen....??
Mavic 3 Classic RC can use Mavic Pro ??..... Thanks.!!
i ordered an AIR3 and now have found out that this controller does not have an HDMI port . I use this port on my Air 2S to show clients on a Larger monitor what is going on. Think I will return the Air3 when it arrives tomorrow because I really use this larger screen alot !
Do you think the RC N2 will work with my Spark? I’m asking for a friend
They need a chart for what remotes work with which drones. I have the Mavic Pro 2 and was hoping to get the new RC Pro to fly with it
Looks like me like the the DJRC would be the worst because it just has internal antennas I myself don't think they would be better than externals?
Can you livestream using the RC2 controller? One of the reasons why I want RC Pro is because of the live stream function.
I am pumped about the new transmission system!
Same thing as the previous one (RC2 will be an improvement though)
So, as always a great video Billy, BUT why isn't anyone asking about the Goggles Integra or Goggles 2 and motion controller 2?? I just bought the Integra and thought it SHOULD work on my new AIR 3 but no option for it in the goggles menu. Any news?
Only problem with the new rc. Is that it’s only able to be used with the aid3 only as it’s in oc 5
Please let us know if the Air 3 is compatible with Motion Control and Goggle ( any model) . tnx
It is 04, doesn't work with anything else.
can the rc pro be o4 with update ?
Is the range the same for the RC-N2 vs the RC-2? Im curious if the external antennas on the RC 2 make a difference.
@Billykyle_01...so it is the same or not?!
I have Mini2,3,4 along with RCN1,RC,RCN2 respectively and I cannot tell range/signal difference between them.
Hi from Belgium. Thanks for your video.
I have (an Inspire 1, a DJI FPV and Avata) + a Mini 3 Pro (O3), a Mavic 3 Cine (O3+), a Mavic 3T (O3 Enterprise) and not the Inspire 3 which is O3 Pro... I think my setup is quite enough (for several years) and don't plan to add Air 3 and new O4 transmission.
What are the real differences between those O3 protocols?
Please note that Mini 3 (standard version, not the Pro version) is O2, but compatible with DJI RC-N1 and DJI RC, ... but not with DJI RC Pro.
Same thing regarding the DJI FPV, has been only compatible with DJI Goggles V2 for at least 2 years, but is now compatible with Goggles 2 and Integra with the last upgrade. And DJI Avata was compatible with all goggles (V2, 2, Integra) since the beginning of sales.
Last thing, Mini 3 Pro and Mavic 3 can be used with Goggles 2 and Integra, but still no words about the new Air 3.
Sometimes DJI is uncoherant on what they propose, or this is also just commercial and marketing interests.
Billy, are the joysticks of the RC interchangeable with the RC2 controller?
Yeah they are
Any idea if the Integra Goggles will work with the Air 3?
I just upgraded from my Phantom 4 pro plus (which I've had for almost 8 years) to the air 3. The Phantom had limited range, especially flying around tree and things. I hope the Air 3 does a better job.
My Air 2S can get 2 miles in the suburbs of North Texas with the RC controller. Should be easy with the Air 3.
You will probably end up being amazed by the improvement of the distance you can fly :)
I have a couple of aging P4Ps and a bag of $185 batters to burn thru, but I have to believe that virtually anything DJI has produced within the last couple of years has to be have better penetration that the occusyc 1 controllers
@@apeop73 After 2 miles with my Air 2s, I need to get her back fast due to it's real world 17 minute flight time. And that's why I sold it. My Air 3 is being delivered today and I bet it doubles that number
A external monitor that’s easy to set up would be nice
Is there a range difference between DJI RCN2 and DJI RC 2?
After the O4 in the Air 3, from now on, all drones should be O4 also. (I think) So the older drones O3 will be like Legacy drones?
Thanks.
I crashed and killed my Mavic pro 2 zoom but I still have my smart controller rm500. The original rc that I bought with the mavic pro 2. Will the smart controller work with the Mavic pro 3?
I have an A 2S, a M3 Classic and a $1200 RC Pro. The A3 is not compatible with the RC Pro. Funny, those guys that will spend bank on the latest and greatest and they haven't even com close to mastering what they already have. There are TONS of people out there that fit that description. Me? I'm not about giving DJI my paychecks so I can brag to my buddies. But hey, more power to those guys. These two drones do EVERYTHING I need them to do because I've done my homework and invested quality time. At least at this point, I don't see myself shelling out the greenbacks for the A3. Thanks for the great videos.
Does it he new RC2 record screen at 1080 now? It is 720 on the previous version and it looks like crap.
Curious to know how annoying/much your hands obscure the built-in screen?
Compared to the old one I have (phone on top)
Can you use RC-N2 to extend the range of Mini3 Pro?
It was made very clear the Air 3 controllers only work with the Air 3.
I know this is off-topic, but wondering when the Osmo action for review is coming? Always enjoyed your reviews.
I am looking at getting the Controller RC 2 here soon for my DJI Mavic 3 Classic. I will use the RC 1 that came with my classic and I was planning to use it with my Air 2s which I bought last year. Sadly, I highly doubt that DJI will somehow magically make the DJI RC Pro 1 compatible with OcuSync 4 or a few more years down the road to OcuSync 5.
We're going to have to buy new controllers every time DJI decides to upgrade the OcuSync versions. DJI should offer a slot on their controllers where we can purchase the upgraded OcuSync for a reasonable price and do a quick swap out and upgrade our controllers we paid a lot of money for. I doubt that will happen anytime soon.
I suspect OcuSync 4 is backwards compatible with OcuSync 3 and if not then honestly DJI really screwed their customers. They only released the new RCN1 a year and a bit ago and I know many budget pilots opted to invest into the controller, believing they would be able to use it for a few more iterations, they only released the new DJI Mavic 3 pro drones like 2 months ago, they knew they had OcuSync 4 in the works. Many pro drone pilots would likely have wanted to invest in a Mavic 3 pro and an Air 3 as a back up and DJI knows this. They should have worked in some backwards compatibility. This staggered update release where none of the products truely reach a good level of equilibrium is most defiantly a business strategy with each new release slightly upgrading over the others it pulls people into questioning if they should buy the current drone thats in their budegt, stretch it a little for the model up or wait till the next release that'll have a new controller or new battery design forcing you to buy the fly more combo again. Constantly finding ways to up sell you.
Will the dji air 2 work with the rc with the screen÷?
No.
screen record wifi etc on RC2 is menu all same as RC 1 was hoping to hear about that the 04 and extra antennas i think everyone was already clear on
Everything is the same basically except for the antenna design
@@billykyleand frame rate
Billy, it would have been nice & practical to have the addition of a 5D button to control exposure.
You would think they would allow one of the buttons to control exposure without hitting 2 buttons, like you could on the original RC controller. But DJI's logic has down down the drain this past year.
@ianzinnerphoto The auto/pro screen button is too close to the expo setting & while changing the expo setting it is very easy to inadvertently hit the auto/pro button & wham video clip ruined.
@@deanjericevic8912 I never had an issue with it, no clips ruined.🤷♂
I found the Mavic 2 Zoom with the 4D button much more successful in controlling the exposure through the clip@@ianzinnerphoto
I found the Mavic 2 Zoom with the 3D button set to exposure much more functional than this controller. I also found that the Go4 app was much more stable than the Fly app. I have had a lot of crashes with the app in WayPoints starting a mission. Tapping on the screen to get focus @ a point can also sometimes put a jerk in the video. Their algorithm for the fly app certainly still needs some tweaking.
still no streaming in the RC1 neither anyone has mention streaming in the RC2
Your on a roll Billy.
You explained this really well.
But dude I wonder if you took a breath hahaha. Even with close caption you have to be a speed reader. You do talk fast. But, not so fast it’s garbled hahaha.
Well done bud.
how do you pair the daMN THINGS
Which of these are OLED displays?
I was going to buy the mini 3 PRO 2 months ago with the pro control (or what its called) , but then i raptured my knee ligament. Only good thing with that is that the air 3 came out. Jus 200 euro more with the standard control . Will i miss alot by not buying the control with the screen ?
No. Stupid easy to connect a phone. More control with the app and custom Apps as well as online maps are available always
@@Matanumi oh that is a really good point i didnt even think about that its easier get custody apps etc . Thanks Will order the air 3 with fly more pack and cheaper controller today
hi Billy extra usb-c allowed dji mic plug in for audio on dji rc does dji rc2 allow audio or mic plug in
I use the 2nd port for audio frequently, if they removed that function in the rc2 I would never get it; I mean the second one is absent on the new rc but I don't know what the single is capable of. Thx for bringing that up.
Not very useful for me, but I can see how it is for others.
@@flightographist exactly if no audio i sure will not be interested luv that with rc1 i use dji mic
@@jimsdroneing It's a gamechanger, If they dumped it They aren't thinking clearly.
Was surprised to see I just watched a video with "4 views" posted "1 minute ago"!
What is the story with 5.170-5.250 GHz transmission? I see it is something that is on the Air 3 but not mentioned on the Mavic 3 Pro in the DJI comparison page. It does say: "5.170-5.250 GHz can be used only in countries and regions where it is allowed by local laws and regulations." Is it something we are able to take advantage of in the US?
The RC2 that comes with the Air 3 tends to use more battery because of the cooling fan.
My guess is the RC Pro gets upgraded to O4 or at lease it will still be able to fly 04 drones.
It may be very difficult to make 03 and 04 work together.@joshua_.mayo.
Love how the Air 3 is DARKER than Air 2S but NOT AS DARK as Mavic 3 Series. DARKER = AWESOMER in DJI world. How dark of a drone do YOU need, sir?
I wonder if it will be compatible with my mavic 3 Pro? And if a firmware update will allow the brand new $1,800 mavic 3 Pro that I just bought a month ago to use 04
No.
Nope no backwards compatibility - yet
@@billykyle any possible soon i have air2s ?
Is there a new "Smart Controller" for the DJI Mavic 2 Zoom?
No
@@billykyle OK... Thanks....
I guess I will keep using my iPad Mini.
Later....
It would be great if dji could include hdmi port which is very much needed for livestreaming works.
They do have it RC-pro controller.
@@thegman7523 For RC-pro yes.
nice
perfect
Billy!!!!!!! Stop reading my mind!!
I hope they make the RC Pro compatible in the next three months.
They won't. They'll just release an RC Pro+S for another $1,500.
It may be really hard to make 03 and 04 gear work together. @@ianzinnerphoto
I'm waiting for someone to do a comparison of the new RC2 vs RC-N2. The obvious advantage of the RC2 is the screen, but at 700 nits, it's temping to just get the RC-N2 and use my Tripltek 8 Pro at 1200 nits. What are some advantages of the RC2 that could make me get it over the RC-N2 to use with my tablet?
Quick set up time and a better form factor
@@billykyle I was thinking more along the lines of features that might be on the RC2 that I wouldn't find with a tablet and the RC-N2.
Better chip also.
For me, 80% of the time that I fly it’s in controlled airspace where there are restrictions and I need to unlock the ability to fly. The only remote I can use is the one that uses your phone because all of the other DJI remotes don’t give you that flexibility on the spot. Is that not something you ever run into?
I don’t run into it frequently but I know what you mean. It’s so much easier to unlock from your phone that has a dedicated LTE/5g connection
Just use your hotspot thru your phone for the other controls works every time for me Rc pro works the best and the fastest to work with
@@mikehays6526 Interesting, I wasn't aware that if you're able to use your phone as a hotspot that it allows the other DJI remotes to quickly unlock and fly in more difficult restricted zones. I wonder why DJI has never suggested that when I've talked to their customer service. They have always told me you have to use flysafe in advance, get the permission, upload to the remote etc. Which doesn't work for me with the volume of aerial shooting I do and the flexibility I need when plans change... But appreciate the heads up, I'll look into that more
Thank you....that explained the differences between controllers very well. As usual, an excellent video
BTW, I and millions of others pay for TH-cam Premium to avoid all the idiotic ads, so it comes as quite a disappointment to see people starting to add ads directly into their content. Easy to jump ahead to avoid this nonsense as I always do but it seems advertisers are using content providers to ensure their ads are seen. From your point of view, I completely understand but still, I personally don't like it
If this continues to happen, I for one will remove my subscription to those particular channels. For you I guess, it's a tradeoff.....
Okay, you can stop watching then. It’s how I support my channel, and I give you timestamps to easily skip through the ads.
My mini 2se has a 04 controller
I wanted to order an Air3 (I owned an Air2s until now) but when I found out that the Air3 is not compatible with the RC Pro I use with the Air2s I ordered the Mavic 3 Classic and I'm happy 😂😂
The Mavic 3 Classic is the sweet spot in the lineup..great pic quality and 3X zoom.
Which one makes my Mini 2 go 27 miles?
DJI... send these guys that review your drones all sale options!!!
I can't find a review that has the rc-n2 controller vs the RC 2?
@WesleyVirgin_01dude chill out
So this is like the fifth video that I watched until the fifth video that doesn't mention how you have to pay for the go fly out now it's a service monthly weekly or one-time payment of $65 but no mention of that in the five videos that I've watched just none no mention at all that's pretty cool.
I just wish the Rc pro had a better antenna system. Sometimes I'd rather use my controller with my phone.
Its easy to go 5+ miles with the RC Pro, what more do you want?
We finally arrived to the diminishing returns in drones, don't expect anything better than the M3 4/3 anytime soon. DSLRs on the last 10+ years have improved a ton on autofocus, but my R6 image quality is not way beyond my 6D quality, same for the R6 MkII vs any of them.
06:01 4 ANTENNAS, 2T4R... Counting on my fingers I'm not sure here...
Like dji did with Smart Controller, they made it backward compatible to P4V2. I cant see why a 4 antenna Drone wont comm with a 6 antenna RC or visa versa. The only downside is a shorter range. The ranges for OC 3 are 12km so range really shouldn't be an issue. What i believe has happened is dji wanted to get Air3 and RC2 out the door and make sales. If they tried making other RCs and drones all talk that would take more R&D and time and would simply have delayed the release of Air3. Now that Air3 is out, im confident in a month or so we will see new firmware to address all this. This shit is not rocket science any more to them
Woah
Woah
I mean, I have the DJI Mavic, pro platinum It’s still a great drone except the camera doesn’t focus
Just to add.... unfortunately, the DJI RC Pro ENTERPRISE is not compatible with any of the consumer drones.
I don’t really care about distance. I have m3pro with RC Pro. Fly it nearly every single day for work. I lose connection when I am flying on real estate shoots of acreage homes and stuff when there are hills. If the drone goes a little bit behind a hill or something I’ll lose connection and only be say 500-2000ft away.
Giving incremental upgrades drip by drip, milking the consumers with bucket loads of cash... They could have implemented 4 Watts transmit power many years ago which has been FCC limit for decades, but no, while they make some improvements on algorithms, they have not maxed out the 4 watt transmit power. Instead Mavic is increasing transmit power slightly with each generation while combining with newer algorithms and antenna array in order to make it more compelling to upgrade.
Peace
Freaking DJI... Not only killing older drones but also killing older remotes... TF...
I was so excited for the Air 3, until the controller 😒. I have the Pro for my 2s, love it but it is freakin expensive. Come on DJI, obviously they have the technoIogy. I understand the other remotes, but you can't tell me they can't make the Pro compatible. What really gets me is the Pro is $1200, the difference in price (at B&H) of the Air 3 with and without the RC 2 is $200, so the Pro is 6 times !!! the price of the RC 2, but not compatible with drone, really!!
Ive had my rc pro for 18 months. It’s literally been terrible. No end of issues, never the same and virtually impossible to get video off it. I had a replacement 6 months ago and it’s as bad!
Really? Mine has been great.
