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!
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.
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.
Hey Kelly, to answer your question at 7:49 Just hold the black button down (the button below the right joystick) on the controller, and the Gimbal, no matter where it is positioned, will recenter. Cheers mate
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.
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?
Great review . very nice that you took the time and effort to answer all the questions from the comments. Also for helping Jim Crinan...Big thumbs up for you my friend.👍 Btw My buddy Brian had been using your Mavic 2 controller and it works flawlessly...thanks again Kelly.
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!
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.
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!
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.
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....
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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?
Great video/review. Plenty of good info. One thing for the price you’d think DJI would have included a cover for all those top slots , As always they push there products out before completing it. Now you’ll need to find a aftermarket 3D printed seal flap. 1st guy that designs that is in the $$$$.
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
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.
Kelly, Nice Q&A video for DJI Smart Controller (SC)👍 Q1. What is SRE mode/function on SC? Q2. Does SC have stock Android settings, specifically "Magnify to Zoom"? (Android-Settings>Accessibility>Magnification) (Q2) Useful for Mavic Enterprise Dual since it doesn't have Digital Zoom! Please check these out, thanks🙏
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.
$1050 in Australia for something that should have come with the drone in the first place, DJI lost me, this ridiculously priced controller was the straw that broke the camels back, DJI are just raping us.
Mate, Smart Controller is not meant for hobby flyers like you and me and others. It's made specially for Prosumers and Industrial and Public Safety agencies when paired with Mavic 2 Pro &/or Mavic Enterprise series (M2E & M2ED). Yet those who have not bought Mavic 2, should go for Mavic 2 Pro/Zoom + Smart Controller Bundle. Hopefully it answers your question👍
I too live in Australia and so many times I have great difficulty seeing iPhone or iPad mini screen especially when it’s hot and phone dims screen and/or goes into stuttering pluttering mode. My smart controller arrived today and this is one seriously bright screen, controller is great in hand and I’m not regretting having to sell my first born to pay for it :)
Don't forget a decent smart phone would cost a similar amount here in Australia. I bought a Samsung 7 edge $800 to use on my standard controler that I've seen advertised for $200
@@MrNeilRoberts Yeah, me too, Cobber. I'm in Oz and I'm sick of getting glare and dull screen and hot phone whilst out in the brightness of the day. I'll be getting the Smart Controller. Of course it's a big whack of kanga, but worth it just to see the screen and take great video. Cheers mate
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..
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!
Great review Kelly, one question I have asked and have yet to receive a definite answer. Can you install and use Litchi? I normally only use Litchi as I feel it's more reliable and the voice feedback along with other things are superior to the Go App. Thanks
Unfortunately the smart controller doesn’t work with the Mavic 2 Enterprise Dual. This is because dji Pilot is incompatible with the controller. We’re waiting for a controller update.
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??
thank you sir for sharing this video. but now i just got a mavic pro 1st gen. this controller doesn't work on my drone. by the way i'm from philippines. I have a content taking drone footage some of the beautiful places here in ph., but i think i need more practice. wish to have a drone to use that smart drone from dji.
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
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.
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.
Friend, congratulations on the video !! Do you know how to activate the dynamic home point in the Smart Controller so that the drone comes up to control?

Question why does my smart controller tell me when i try to search for something it tells me my browser is no longer supported?
Hi. The smart controller does work with the dji phantom 4 Pro v2.0
Update, it also works with Magic Air 2, just got on in my fly more kit, on 2-1-2021

Hey Kelly, to answer your question at 7:49 Just hold the black button down (the button below the right joystick) on the controller, and the Gimbal, no matter where it is positioned, will recenter. Cheers mate
you can move the gimbal by moving your finger across the screen - been able to do that for many years

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.

Hey can you use the new controller and DJI RE goggles at the same time? Buddy flying or a show and tell? Hello anyone home?
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.
Can you use along with DJI Googles?

Will it work with 2 different mavic 2s without rebinding them? You know let’s say you have a pro and a zoom.
It will work, but you would have to rebind it each time. Takes less than 15 seconds to do, but you would have to do it whenever you switched drones.
Great review. Just wish it worked on the Mavic Pro.
take your mavic pro and install the mavic 2 zoom mother board to it then it will work. hahaha
Do u need a internet provider to fly a drone with this controler?
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.
Fantastic!
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.
Friend, congratulations on the video !! Do you know how to activate the dynamic home point in the Smart Controller so that the drone comes up to control?
