New Mavic old controller

[PeteS2017]

My Mavic recently came to grief and I'm getting a new one. I will be able to get a good deal by buying the new one with a controller, so I was thinking of using it with the controller I already have and selling the new controller.

I'm wondering, though, whether it will be straightforward to pair the new Mavic with the old controller. Will I have to register afresh? Does the registration relate to the controller, the Mavic, or both?

I'd appreciate any advice here.

Yes. You can pair the remote controller via DJI GO like this:

Will I have to register afresh?

No.

@msinger After watching the video, I'm confused about which is connecting to which (ie controller finding mavic signal or vice versa). As an example: Is it possible to have one controller that can control two mavics (not simultaneously), but at a time. ie Fly one mavic, then fly the other one, but use the same controller in both cases? Thanks.

You can pair 2 remotes to a mavic, but a given remote needs to be paired again if you want to use it with another mavic.

Which is a 10sec procedure, so it's not like it was a problem to pair everytime you change aircraft.

No. A remote controller can only be paired to one Mavic at a time. If you want to fly a different Mavic, you must repair the remote controller.

ah, i was literally making a thread with this same title. and it popped up while i was doing so.

ok. so i just lost another one. and i got an alpine mavic now, but i want to keep the controller new so i can sell it when i return from my trip .. i must say i may have the ugliest mavic with the white body and regular grey batteries. lol
