Keeping this in consideration, is DJI smart controller worth it?
Conclusion: A Great but Expensive Controller
I really enjoyed using the DJI Smart Controller; the device is nicely designed and fits well in hands. The screen could be brighter, but I never had any issue piloting my drone, even in bright condition.
One may also ask, what drones does the DJI smart controller work with? The DJI Smart Controller now uses the latest OcuSync 2.0, which makes it compatible with the Mavic 2 Series line of drones (Pro, Zoom, and Enterprise). Unfortunately, this will not work with older Mavics or Air and Spark, which is a bummer.
Likewise, people ask, is the Mavic 2 smart controller worth it?
DJI Smart Controller verdict
There's no doubt that the Smart Controller is a superbly made add-on for Mavic 2 drones. It's tough, easy to use and comes with a screen that works fantastically well in all weather conditions.
Is Mavic mini compatible with smart controller?
No. Since DJI Mavic Mini can't work with DJI Smart Controller and its all operation must be in the DJI Fly APP. Without the mobile device nothing will work with properly and no warnings can be displayed.
