I have just got the RC Pro controller. I have been using the stock controller with my
Air 2S. I understand the controller needs to be "bound" to the aircraft for the Care Refesh coverage to apply. Once I've activated and bound the RC Pro, can I use it and the old controller interchangeably? If I get another compatible drone, can I use all my controllers interchangeably? Mostly I don't want to use the RC Pro and then not be able to use the original controller. I may want to loan my drone to another photographer, but have him use the original controller rather than the RC Pro.
The issue is the care-refresh package. It is BOUND to the AC, RC and owners DJI account
I bought a used
Air 2s with
SC and care refresh.
Brilliant idea, I bought a RC1 and sold the package w/o the
SC, so I could use the
SC with my M2Pro.
WHOOPS. When the buyer went to link the new controller, up came a warning about the care package, it was bound to the original owners dji account including the
SC. We could bypass the warning and link to the RC1, but only 4 or 5 times, then the care package would cancel (as we understood the warning). So, he brought it back to me, we flew with the
SC, all was fine. Digging down into the fly layers, we found a button to UNBIND from the dji account (lucky I had never removed the Fly app since I used DJIGo4 with
M2P). After UNBINDING (which is DIFFERENT from LINKING) we then linked the AC to the RC1, and that allowed us to BIND to my buyers DJI account. The care package stays with the aircraft, and all is well in the end.
I don't know if or how this would affect the addition of the
SC to the mix, but the care package might have a similar impact when changing controllers. Without the presence of the care package, it's a simple matter to switch controllers thru LINKING.
