    • Solid Upgrade from Original Smart Controller
Review Image by J. Patterson J. Patterson
I wasn’t going to write a review however, I’m compelled to write something since I wasn’t expecting much as I upgraded from my Mavic 2 Pro / Smart Controller set up to the Mavic 3 / RC set up. I honestly didn’t have many problems with the original controller and would have kept it if it were compatible with the Mavic 3. The RC is an improvement in ways I didn’t think of and some of the “downgrades” from the original aren’t affecting me like I thought it would. **UPGRADES** **Weight / Handling** This is the first thing that stood out to me. I didn’t think the original was heavy at all however, compared to the RC, I’m noticing I’m not as fatigued after flying for around 2.5 hours. Also, for it being lighter in weight, the grip feels MUCH better than the original. The RC also feels stronger and could survive an accidental drop a couple times. The original felt like it would get destroyed from 1 accidental drop. **Speed** The RC is MUCH faster than the original in almost every aspect. From turning on the controller, to booting up the app and connecting with my Drone. Very impressed since this is an unexpected improvement over the original. Touch operations are also as smooth as the original. **Price** The fact this controller is $309 at launch compared to $649 for the original at launch, it makes it that much harder to justify paying $1199 for the RC Pro. I haven’t used the RC Pro however, until I get some clients that would help me justify that price, I’m totally happy with the RC. **Battery Life** Now that I’m writing this review, the one criticism I had of the original was the battery life. Mine only lasted 2 hours and I’d have to connect it an external battery if I wanted to fly my Mavic 2 Pro and/or Air 2s for more than 3 batteries. With the RC, I was able to fly for 2.5 hours with my Mavic 3 and still had 50% power left. Also, when both the original and RC are connected to PD chargers, it seems the RC charges faster than the original. I haven’t tested this extensively, but it’s something I’m noticing. **Signal Strength** I’m not noticing any difference between using the Mavic 2 Pro (or Air 2s) / w Smart Controller vs using the Mavic 3 with the DJI RC. I didn’t have any problems with the original in this regard so, the RC is good to go for me. This for me is impressive seeing the RC’s antennas are inside the controller vs the original had external antennas. For me, I don’t have to worry as much about breaking the antennas with the RC in case of an accidental drop. **"DOWNGRADES"** **Screen Brightness** To be honest, I’m not noticing much of a difference between the 700 nits of the RC compared to the 1000 nits of the original. I was able to compare them side by side and only noticed the difference when looking at them directly. One thing that somewhat annoyed me with the original was the fact I would still need to stand in the shade sometimes during the day. The difference in nits doesn’t change this at all for my needs. For a summer in Utah, all I need to do is operate the controller in my own shadow and I’m good. That’s also what I had to do when I lived in Texas while using the original smart controller. I never thought I needed a sunshade with the original and at this time, I don’t need one with the RC. Plus, the difference in brightness is NOT a game changer for me either way. **No Way to Install Custom Apps** I had a few custom apps on the original Smart Controller but ended up never using them. This is not an issue for me with the RC and I still have my RC-N1 in case I need to use a tablet with other apps. I also don’t care about the downgrade in screen recording quality. I did like navigating thru the android OS in the original but, I’ll be fine without that option in the RC. **HDMI Out** This is the only downgrade that stings a bit with me. I’ve used HDMI out a few times with the original and loved the fact my clients could see what I’m doing. Since it’s been a while since I had a client with that need, plus with other financial obligations, I had a hard time justifying a $900 increase for the RC Pro at this time. When I have a client with that need, I’ll have no problem getting the RC Pro, but I’ll keep the RC for everyday use. Who knows, DJI might enable a USB-C to HDMI output option in the future for the RC. **Dual Operators** This is a feature I’d like to see added to the Mavic 3 in the future. The Mavic 2 Pro had this feature and it would be nice to use the new RC controllers in this way. **Lack of Buttons Compared to Original** This was something I thought would bother me but, DJI has you covered. The original has a 5D button I often used to control the exposure however, with the RC, I'm fine with using the touch screen. You can also hold one of the C buttons behind the controller, then use one of the control wheels above the controller to adjust the exposure. Something I can get used to, but nothing to complain about. **OVERVIEW** I was on the fence for a long time about upgrading my Mavic 2 Pro to the Mavic 3 due to how expensive the upgrade would be, especially with the early issues with the Mavic 3. I also couldn’t afford the RC Pro. When I crashed my Mavic 2 Pro, I was forced to move forward with the Mavic 3 and the RC-N1. Once the RC became compatible with the Mavic 3, I felt like my Mavic 3 experience was complete, especially with the Mavic 3 issues being corrected in firmware. Once you use any smart controller, It’s hard going back to using your smartphone / tablet when flying your drone and I’m very happy and relieved with the performance of the DJI RC. I think DJI should bundle the RC with the Mavic 3 Fly More Combo by default, but I’m glad it’s finally compatible with the Air 2s. ... show more

Beyond Impressed....This device arrived on time and is in Brand New condition. Not a scratch on it & can't tell it apart from my new one. I hope I'm not setting expectations too high for the seller, but they described it as "Used Very Good". If this is a case of under promise & over deliver, Mission Accomplished. It came fully charged & thoroughly cleaned. It set up quickly , connected to my Mini 3 (surrendered it's RC to my Mini 3 Pro) and flew 2.2 miles across Lake Hartwell. I was using an Rc-N1 & a tablet, which got way too complicated & clumsy. All Set... Thanks Goldstar Tech ... show more

    • Inexpensive and convenient
I use this on my Mavic 3. It is more convenient when compared to attaching a bracket and plugging in my iPad. The range seems comparable to the DJI RC N1. That said, my iPad Air 4 operates more smoothly, has a larger screen and can send pictures and video directly to all my Apple devices if I so desire. If you currently use a phone for your Mavic, this is a great upgrade because it has a bright and pretty large screen. If you already use a modern iPad and don't mind the extra steps you might want to stick with what you've got. ... show more

    • At last I can fly my drone without my phone
> Setup is simple. Just follow the instructions and answer the questions. > Had to update the firmware on both my controller and my drone first, but it was all automatic. > My MINI 3 is less than 250g so no government registration was needed. > I am five miles from an air force base so I agreed to fly at altitudes under 400 feet. Not an issue. > The screen is clear and bright enough to see in sunlight. > Controls are very responsive in all directions. > Has more physical control knobs than the controller using my phone. > The battery in the controller lasts long enough that you can make multiple flights without recharging. > Cannot use third party apps like you can on your phone but I bought it to free my phone from flight duty. > Three flight modes to match video capture needs, normal flights, and full speed flights. > Highly recommended as a new drone pilot. ... show more
