I'm thinking not since this remote controller only works with OcuSync 2.0 drones. They likely won't go back to work on accessories for their outdated OcuSync technology.

just a way to get you to buy the latest tech i suppose still its a shame my mav plat does everything i want dont need to upgrade at this time it is one of the downsides of modern electronics keeping up with advances in the tech

For the price, better get a CrystalSky really :\ Tad less compact but at least it works with all the product lineup and you can do other stuff with it.

Not currently available.

Says ships in 3-7 days here.

Where?

 

[mikey_golds]

Welp all my indecisiveness is over M2Pro with the remote, will add a non-smart remote later on to mod with the titan

 

[msinger]

Where?

Switzerland.

If you change the location in the DJI Store, it's available for order in some locations. It's not available in the US yet.

$700 is a lot for a controller though.

Wonder if updates for this will be as slow and behind the times as Crystal Sky currently is...

£579 (UK price) seems an awful lot to pay to replace the controller you already paid for, into which you simply plug the mobile device you already own...

I'll save the money and retain the extra versatility that lets me choose if I want to use my iPad, iPad mini or phone (depending on the situation and how portable I want to be)!

(Although I bet I'd have gone for the inevitable smart controller/MP2 bundle, had it I held off on my MP2 purchase until it comes along later this week...)

I would buy this in a heart beat at a reasonable price but @ €649 that's almost half the cost of my m2pro! And like others have said that's all it does. To much cash for a controller

How does the antennae position work on this controller with OcuSync 2.0? Photos show them pointing strait out or pointing down. Which plane has the strongest signal?

As an Android device - Hopefully this will put all those rumours about CJI being in bed with Apple out to pasture ... It will also help DJI get a little more familiar with the issues we report regarding Android too!

 

[blackbeemer]

I don’t like how there isn’t a separate screen for just RC telemetry.

It looks like if for any reason you lose video feed, you’ll lose the drone status as well.

Very nice.. The Crystal Sky display might be nice and bright, but it's just too small for me. While this will be certainly suitable for many, I prefer a full sized tablet.

 

[Rogerlin]

What a great idea, I was about to buy one until I saw the price nearly £600 !!!! I`ll stick with my ipad for the moment....

DJI should have enough experience with Crystalsky Android units ...
