Mavic 3 Standard remote controller compatibility

[zeusfl]

Folks,

DJI mentions the standard controller is only compatible with the Mavic 3, however, I tested and I was able to link the Mavic Air 2, DJI Mini 2 as well with the Mavic 3 controller.
Also, I tested and after update the Mavic Air 2 and Mini 2 controllers I was able to use them with the Mavic 3 as well.

Also, with the new update 1.5.1 on the smart controller, make disrepair the Mavic 3 as an option in the Fly app to connect. (never works anyway in the 1.5.0).

Just passing on some information.

Would it be possible then that by some weird means the new Smart Controller could also be used with those drones?

I am pretty sure after DJI sells all the old smart controllers they still have in stock they will release an update to make the new one backward compatible.

Also, their excuse that gives for don't make compatible the old smart controller about the lack of LTE support is BS because the RC1 controller does not support that either and you can still fly the M3.

Has anyone tried connecting their Smart Controller to the Mavic 3? Does it just NOT link up? I crashed my Mavic 2 Pro yesterday and ordered the Mavic 3 today, hoping just maybe the controller will work with it... TBD.

Yes I have the Mavic 2 pro with SC and it would not link up with my M3.

Thanks for the insight. I guess I'll be selling my Mavic 2 batteries and smart controller to someone asap.

DJI as a business is really giving its dedicated owners a real **** YOU. What a shame.

I may be biased as I'm 100% Android, but DJI have probably decided to follow the Apple business model, and we all know how successful that has been.

32bit vs 64bit factor smart controller is only 32bit -- DJI Fly needs 64bit!
