DJI RC Smart Controller

DJI RC Smart Controller

DJI RC is DJI's latest remote control for drones with a display. The screen eliminates the need for a separate smartphone to fly the drone. In addition to the accurate FullHD display, the controller features an ultra-long battery life and new dual-spring joysticks. All this is packed into a surprisingly compact and lightweight body. So far the controller is compatible with at least Mini 3 Pron and Mavic 3 and Mavic 3 Cine -with copters. In the future, DJI will also add support for more helicopters.

With helicopters using DJI O3+ connectivity technology, the controller provides lag-free FHD 1080p/60fps live video up to 15km connection range. Compared to the phone used with conventional controllers, the DJI RC's screen is much more comfortable to view the drone's image, with no extra fiddling to install the phone. The screen is 5.5 inches in size and capable of up to 700 nits of brightness.

With the new battery design, the controller's battery lasts up to four hours, allowing you to shoot in more places without charging the controller in between. Dual-spring joysticks make controlling the drone smoother and more precise than ever before. The controller has a built-in USB-C port for charging and upgrades, and a microSD card slot for storage.
