DJI has released new controllers with its latest drones, the Mavic 3 and Matrice 30 series. The controllers have similar names but aren't compatible with the same drones. Let's look at DJI's latest controllers and compare them.
A straightforward way to break the two controllers apart is as follows:
- DJI RC, DJI RC 2 = consumer (Mini, Air, Mavic)
- DJI RC Pro = prosumer (Mini, Air, Mavic)
- DJI RC Pro Enterprise (Mavic 3 Enterprise Series)
- DJI RC Plus = Enterprise (Matrice, Inspire)
