    Thank you for saving me $900! I have the Mini 3 Pro and Mavic 3 Pro (and was considering the RC Pro Controller). I'll just spend my money on the next cool thing from DJI (who now get all my tech-toy money!) Just bought the Osmo Pocket 3.... If DJI starts making vehicles I'm in trouble!

    I'm totally confused on the correlation of the aircraft battery range to the range of the controller. The aircraft battery has nothing to do with the performance of the controller.

      I think what they are saying is that if you fly in a straight line until the drone battery runs low enough to prompt you to return home, you don't get far enough for the controller range to be a problem.

      @@michaelrcolton ya I'm not sure. I did test my mini pro 3 with the RC controller today and got it to about 1.4 miles, 2200 meters before I lost signal and it returned home automatically. This was at at 120 meters in the air with mostly line of sight with some trees.

  • @cansofcoke
    @cansofcoke Před rokem +181

    As the battery was the limiting factor in this "range test", can I suggest you keep the drone hovering and have someone drive away with the controller? That way we learn the theoretical actual signal range if the signal goes before the battery does. It might also be worth doing a more real world range test with greater interference factors like buildings, valleys, trees, mountains, cliffs - in order to show which has stronger signal propogation and by how much. Its more likely people will lose signal after ducking around a valley or cliff than flying 10 km away in an open field. Unless you're flying to an island, it's almost always easier to drive closer to your target if there's nothing between you and it, like in this vid. Great analysis though, I appreciate it!

    A few things to add. The pro battery is 7.2 volt over the 3.6 of the rec. at similar mah capacity, that’s almost double the power. The pro transmits at 33db power vs 26 on the rc. That’s over double again. The drone distance doesn’t matter in an open space, but get around a city and you have a much better chance of keeping signal, especially behind bridges. The pro’s ability to run multiple apps does come in handy, especially when using a hotspot (think B4UFLY or LAANC).

    Honestly, from my experience having owned both controllers and the Mini 3 Pro and the Mavic 3, I think the DJI RC is a very nice well rounder, although for some photography people that HDMI port on the rear of the Pro can come handy at times, but personally, I'd take the RC Pro mainly because I don't want to have any limitations when recording/shooting photography. Nonetheless the Dji RC itself is a strong controller, it's just the signal that pulls it down.

    Another important difference, that most people miss, is the internal cooling system. The DJI RC uses passive cooling and only has a heatsink, while the RC Pro has an active system that uses a heatsink / fan. This is very important for long flights and hot environments where the controller can overheat. When it does, the DJI RC will force dim the screen and have the exact same issue that people experience with the RC-N1 and smartphone. And as you pointed out the screen is dimmer than the RC Pro to begin with, at just 700nits or 30% less than the RC Pro. The RC Pro, on the other hand, can ramp up a fan to prevent overheating and should never have this problem. The price you pay, of course, is the extra drain on battery and weight of the cooling system.

Seeing as they achieve similar distances in ideal (no interference) conditions, I would speculate, the radio wattages are similar but the difference we’re seeing has to do with the power/speed of the actual chipset/CPU used in the Pro and its better ability to deal with (filter out) interference, and that’s where our $900 is going.

There will be times it will lose connection due to whatever, but that will happen less frequently and under smaller number of scenarios, *compared* to RC. The best way to decide on whether to upgrade is, in my humble opinion, renting a RC Pro and testing it to see yourself in your environment, surroundings, flight conditions. That’s what I did, and in my case the cost difference wasn’t justified by the better performance because I mostly fly rural and suburban areas where there isn’t a lot of interference.

    It is not clear why anyone would expect the remote controller to allow the drone to fly farther when the limiting factor is the battery on the drone. A better test would be in a radio interference situation whether the additional transmitter and receiver capability allows to operate when there's interference. The RC range can be very limited in urban environments where there's interference.

Saw some tutorials on CZcams that demo’d this feature working with an RC Pro but not sure if it works with regular RC.
