Multiple drones with one controller?

[blaircm]

Traveling abroad first time with Mini 2 and am thinking of a plan B should I lose/crash my drone. Do you know if I could pair a 2nd Mini 2 drone with the controller from another one? Would be great to take 2 drones but just one controller, battery charger, etc. just as a fallback plan. If something happens to the first, I'd use the second without having to bring the entire kit. Thank you so much and wish me luck (Scotland and Ireland)!

I swap controllers all the time, the only problem oyou might run into is if you have the fly away insurance but you#ll need to read up on that for yourself.

True there is that. Requires binding the remote specifically to the drone. But I think you can undo and then redo it, but it's a longer process.

"Binning" would be expensive, binding or rebinding would be better . Yep it can be done and it needs to be done otherwise I think the insurance is invalidated but check that.

You still get the care refresh or such, but can only claim the fly away part if the RC was bound.
