I agree the DJI RC or RC pro would’ve been a nice addition to what this drone costs

I kind of agree with you on this point but I will say that I got one anyway and love it.   It would be a little nicer not to have to mess with the phone but it’s still a great product.

Using a device that has data is very much necessary for commercial applications. I highly recommend using a larger device over my phone. I use an iPad pro 12in (at&t) and it's much easier to work with and still have a data capability to unlock it in waivered zones.

Agreed… but one word “Hasselblad” and it’s still worth the price

I have used both an IPhone, and the RC Controller, and as far as I could tell, they are both outstanding in performance and vision qualities. I wouldn’t bat an eye at the lesser expensive of the two controllers. The added cost for the higher package is not justified by the RC Controller. Don’t waist your money, unless you have vision issues.

The main drone kit is a little more than $2000, this is $2800, the controller with the display is $1200, that math doesn't work if you want the rest of the fly more features.

Eric · Answer

Very true and the remote that comes with it was thrown in from old technology drones and doesn’t work with the Ocusync 3. Buy the RC Pro or upgrade to the Mavic 3 Cine which comes with the RC Pro and range goes way up. Hard to believe the my did this to folks it really is. Most don’t even know as the manuals and literature falsely claim distances only achievable with RC Pro using Ocusync 3.
