Great controller. Need to do a hot spot from phone in order to send transponder signal

The fact that I don’t have to get my phone out and connected to the controller to fly my drone is the best part. I had to update the DJI GO4 app on it to get rid of the error 180 message and for it to let me takeoff, had to watch a YouTube video to figure it out, so far it seems to work fine with my mavic 2 pro, I also like the fact that it was brand new in the original box, worth every penny

I like this controller for the most part but I hate the amount of time it takes to charge to 100%. I started at 83% when I put it on the charger and it has been charging for over 4 hours and has not gotten to 100%. DJI has certainly short changed its customers on this product.

I have a MAVIC 2 PRO:Personally, I see it as very expensive, but after receiving the product I justify how expensive it is by how comfortable it is, it still seems very expensive to me, although I don't care about the money.Robust, precise and eliminates the original remote control and the cell phone or tablets, which for me was always a headache, I have bought everything to try to minimize this complex original control that is increasingly heavy.I got to buy the "DJI Goggles 1080p HD Immersive FPV Drone Accessory (Racing Edition)" horribly heavy, but effective for its function, personally never use it for more than 1 hours in total, really very good but horribly heavy.Now that I received this product I think it is easier to fly the MAVIC 2 PRO that I have. It really makes it very easy for me with a single control where you have everything instead of with one control and mounting the cell phone holder and having two devices.IN A FEW WORDS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED EVEN THOUGH I COME BACK AND SAY THE PRICE IS VERY HIGH.

I got one of the Amazon Renewed units because they were a good deal cheaper. As at least one other reviewer remarked, mine also came defaulted to (what I assume in my ignorance was) the Chinese language. However, after a quick search on YouTube for how to change the language and a keen observational eye, I got mine running in English pretty quickly. The unit showed up otherwise undamaged and the box had even been re-sealed in plastic, though with a blank, and I'm assuming replacement, sleeve.Another great piece of news: With the purchase of a small HDMI male to USB-C female adapter by Elebase (available here on Amazon for +/- $30), I was able to pair the Smart Controller with my NReal Air AR glasses without any issue! FPV (First Person View) flight at last with my Mini 2 in glorious HD!!!Absolutely ecstatic with the result!

Nope, don't buy it. I cannot get the map to work even while of wifi, much less off wifi. I have been flying using the standard controller, which is not working anymore, and an ipad mini, much better experience. You would think DJI could do better interoping with their own products then an iOS device can do. The convenience is just not worth the money, I just figured since my standard RC is out of order I would give it a shot. Unfortunately, trying to find just a standard controller to replace my old one is not possible it seems. Not a new one anyways. I am pretty close to writing DJI off altogether due to their lack of support on pretty much everything.

Quite pricey but definitely worth the price if you are a regular flyer. Great convenience! No more fiddling with your phone and cables. The screen is super bright even in the sun.Just grab & go! Definitely a must if you can afford it! However, at this price, I expect it to be compatible with all the major drones that DJI releases in the future.
