Mini 2 with RC-N1 controller

General
1

Hello. I have trawled the internet for answers but get more confused by opinions instead of facts.

Hope some kind person can take the time to answer these questions.

DJI Mini 2 and RC-N1 controller

  1. What is the drone or controller using - wifi? Cellular? Other?

  2. What spec is needed for phone (or tablet) – 2.4ghz or 5ghz? 4g or 5g cellular?

(I have Redmi Note 10 and Sony Xperia Z5 Premium phones and Lenovo M10 and Teclast P40 tablets – both 64 bit and 5Ghz wifi).

  1. Should phone/tablet be on Airplane mode or Do Not Disturb or neither?

  2. Would that affect maps?

  3. Do I need maps? Because drone/controller automatically selects Home Point.

  4. Should other phone in my pocket be set to Airplane mode to avoid interference?

  5. If using the Smart Controller, why is none of the above relevant?

Hi @artairdrone

I’ll do my best.

  1. Other.
  2. The connection to the controller, and thus the drone, is using a cable. A connection to the internet is also useful for updating the DJI App, retrieving maps, etc
  3. DND might be an idea, in case you get a call mid-flight. But it makes no difference other than that.
  4. DND would not affect maps, no.
  5. The DJI app will download the map for the area you’re using. This is separate to Google Maps and/or Apple Maps.
  6. I have never done this. The frequencies are quite different.
  7. Because the Smart controller has a mobile device built into it, manufactured, fully integrated and tested by the manufacturer DJI.

Hi, Hope that I am not bothering you but will the Mini 2 Controller connect with the DJI Neo or do I have to buy the one that comes in extra kit ??? Thanks

According to Google:

No, the DJI RC-N1 remote controller (talked about in this thread) is not compatible with the DJI Neo drone.

However, the DJI Neo is compatible with the DJI RC2, DJI RC-N2, and DJI RC-N3.

Thanks Simon for your speedy answer.
I have a DJI 4 pro so have the controller to fly my Neo. So really my Mini 2 controller is only usable with that drone.Pity.
Looking around to see if DJI will bring out a solo Flip so that I can used that with my RC-N2 controller.If you ever find new one for sale please let me know.Thanks for you help…Stay well.

Hi Rob

I did have a scout around when you asked that question previously and came up blank unfortunately.

I’ll let you know if I ever come across it.

All the best

Simon
