Your list of timestamps alone got a thumbs up from me. Saves SOOO much time! Thank you.
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.
Thanks. Quite useful points!
Remark.
Bokeh, pronounced Boke, comes from 暈け in Japanese. Instead of the strange Bokah some people use.
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!
Best practical review out there. Not just silly range comprasision
Thank you. Even the sales man didn’t give me this kind of detailed information.
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 - very good catch!
Dji owes you for all of this. You are a legend.👍🏾
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! 👍🏻
Thanks! Glad it was helpful!
Absolutely love these type of video's. Going beyond the specs and into the details
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! 🤟
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!!
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.
Thanks!!! Glad they're helpful!
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.
Nice!!!
Bravo! Everything is answered! Love it
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.
Thanks - much appreciated!
Excellent and very detailed video! Thank you so much!
Glad it was helpful!
Many thanks for answering the questions :) great video!
Dude this was an amazing video. Answered a bunch of relevant questions
Same
wait, so the remote without the screen has a longer range than the remote with the built-in screen ?
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. . .
Engaging from start to finish. Fantastic video, mate.
Thanks for this! Just what I was looking for
Thank you so much for all the information about the Mini 3 Pro RC
No problem 👍
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.
Nnever is a man more straigth to the point then you, great video, again ! Thanx
Every level of this video is Outstanding. You're awesome.
Great video packed with helpful information, thanks 👍
Very cool. Thanks fam. Gonna check out the other videos.
Super informative man. Thanks a lot!
Great channel. Brilliant presentation. I learnt a lot . Many thanks!!!
Excellent video with loads of information..👏👏👏
Always so helpful! Thanks
Thanks for the reviews! Few regulations in the Philippines but that could change soon.
Super-useful, thanks a lot! 💪
Great video, I hope they fix the distance issue with a firmware update soon. Seems to be an issue with the monitor remote version
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.
Stroopwafel WiFi. Love it.
Thanks soooo much for this. I'm waiting dji rc for Mavic3.
Great content, thank you so much!
Every question i had is checked. Greatly appreciated 👍🏼
Thanks - much appreciated!
So addictive I’m going for it. Thanks for another awesome video man.
Thanks - appreciate it!!!
Great! Excited to watch!
Thanks - enjoy the vid!
Awesome video. I learned a lot. Thank you.
Excellent video answered so many of my questions 😁
Awesome video! Great in depth!
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
thanks for this super helpful
Good informs, thank you
Thanks!
Quick,usefull review !!
Awesome vid mate
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 !
Awesome video!
Yes, you got to do the range test ! Please )
Useful info, thanks :-)
Thanks for in-depth responses to all the questions. I’m kind of bummed that there’s no live capability.
Great review! lots of gems! Do you know what size the thread is on the new joystick threaded posts?
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.
thank you! we are lucky to have you!!!
Wow great, the thing I mostly concern was if the DJI RC works with my Mavic 3, good to hear that
Awesome review. You answered all my questions. Would you say connectivity is similar to that of a wifi (previous Dji wifi drones)? Thanks!
Great overview ! Do you know if the DJI Mic would work to record audio while you screen record ?
Really useful, thank you
Thanks, glad to hear that!
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!!
Thank you!
YOUR GIVING AWAY DRONE I REALLY LOVE DJI MAVIC MINI 2
Stroopwafel, nice
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 ?
Thanks - appreciate it!
Thanks...you just saved me $150! 😁😁😁
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!
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! 🤡
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.
Yup, waypoints across the Mavic 3 lineup were added last week. Finally!
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.
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
As of August 23rd the range with the mavic 3 is compatible to my standard controller…I was pleasantly surprised
Really hoping a 3rd party solution for boosting transmission/receiving comes out for the DJI RC
Hopefully a hack like the done with the other drones
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?
Would be great to see a range test between RC and non-RC version whether the same range issue appear or not.
Range its 100% the same between the two. BUT with the older RC-N1 you get one advantage in Europe: the Dji Fly app can be tweaked to work in FCC mode which offers a much better range. But I prefer to use the new RC because of the much more smoother controll and since you need to keep the drone in the visual line of sight the new RC is the better choice.
Thank you so much for this!
One more question - why 2 usb-c ports? Do they have the same or different functionality?
4g dongle is coming in some regions.
Covered one can be used for an external drive such as ssd
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.
This *could* be disabled in software, but I don't know why they would ever do that
@@jawaring4367 To differentiate between the RV and the RC Pro which is a good deal more expensive. Not sure how much the RC will be when it's available separately. I'm guessing 6 to 800 bucks
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
Thanks for great videos. Can you do a range test for the latest DJI 3 drones - mini 3 pro and mavic 3 ? 🙏🙏
Thanks! I talk a bit about range in this video (see the chapters), but I don't typically do range tests as it's usually not permitted where I live (due to lack of visibility that far out). In this case, it failed early enough I could still see it.
@@Dcrainmaker Thank you ! Appreciate your response !
@@Dcrainmaker would it be longer with the Mini 2 remote?
Can you use the DJI RC Pro remote with the Mini 3 pro??
wow, great DJI RC for my baby
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!
I am sure with new updates DJI will sort this out 🤷🏻♂️
@@DJIDroneTravel how? External antennas per FW?!
Are people running their Wifi hotspot on phone while flying?
ruclips.net/video/d2vTfPeacRo/видео.html
Allegedly it was a software issue that was causing this
What's the point of fake occusync 3 when the controller only manages 1k stable and they claim 12km
Thank you for the excellent review. Do you know if there's any chance DJI will enable live streaming on the Mini 3? guess I should've read more on the details before the purchase.
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.
Sorry if this question has been asked, but can you use the RC controller with any of the drone flight simulators?
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.
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!
I would say don’t sell the RC Pro personally because after playing with one, as you know, it’s amazing.
I’d get the mini 3 with the normal controller if I were you and then hope that they open support in the rc pro for the mini 3 later on.
@@Grandmasterjord That's what I'm thinking of doing. I just wish the RC Pro was lighter 😕.
@@ddtlaw Yeah I hear ya there.
To be honest, the first time I picked it up I felt like it was super light for what it is.
I was expecting it to be much heavier.
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?
Can you please make a range test with this 3 remotes? Of course, when all will work with the same drone. Thanks 😊
Yes that would be a very nice test
Extremely informative video! You kind of hinted (I think) about the DJI RC Pro sticking with the DJI RC and the drones it may support in the future. Like you, I have the DJI RC Pro with the DJI Air 2S as a bundle last year--and love it! Do you anticipate the DJI RC Pro working with the DJI Mini 3? Thanks, DC Rainmaker!
I do anticipate it'll become parity and the Mini 3 will become compatible with the DJI RC Pro. But when is the question.
@DC Rainmaker Thanks!
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!
have you tried another range test with the standard rc controller as a comparision?
@@cmpang2001 Yeah, I wasn't that impressed by it
@@EpicModeEngaged oh?how so? wasn't impressed with what
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
greetings from Austria ;-)
Thanks for answering these questions. I’m super disappointed the second USB-C doesn’t output to video (what the hell is the second one for then?). I also am bummed it isn’t going to work with Air 2.
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...
He also flew in the Carribeans though
@@Airbag888 True, I don't know if country where he was in CE or FCC. Or, if he was having connection problems there.. Would be interesting to know...
In this case, I was first flying in the Dominican Republic, which as far as I know falls under the FCC side (certainly not the EU side, it's not an EU country if I was in a French/Dutch territory in the Carrib). The second test at 1,500m was in the Netherlands, thus would fall under the EU guidance. Frankly, it didn't seem to matter.
