Air 3s USB-C to HDMI with RC2 Remote

[Into the Mystic]

Have any of you with an Air 3s used the USB-C to HDMI on the RC2 controller to hook up to a TV or Monitor? I understand you won't get a 'clean' out like with the PRO remote, but does it work for just having a larger display with flight data like you would see on your controller screen.

Yea, the RC2 does put out a video signal through the USB-C port and any USB-C to HDMI adapter should work. I have a basic Anker adapter which works great.
Keep in mind though that the maximum transmission resolution from the drone to the RC2 is 1080p60, so even though the HDMI signal from the RC2 to the TV will be a 4K signal (if the adapter supports 4K) the transmission itself will still be 1080p60.

Is that just using a USB-C to USB-C cable? Interesting idea….

Huh... super interesting. I just want to use a video feed out to a TV (32" - 43") on the back of my truck to have a larger view of the image with flight telemetry than the screen size on the RC 2 provides.

That's very interesting, I would like to do that too.

Could you please explain how can I do that?

Thanks.

Excellent. Thank you for all the feedback. Have the Anker cable ordered from Amazon, and just picked up a 32" TV from best buy.

ETA - I just saw that you do it wirelessly. How did you go about that? Do you use your phone as a hotspot for internet connection? I didn't realize you could do it wirelessly. I assumed I would have to use a cabe from the controller to the display.
