Introduction

The DJI Smart Controller features OCUSYNC™ 2.0 technology and is compatible with aircraft which support OcuSync 2.0. With a wide range of function buttons, the remote controller can perform a variety of tasks and control the aircraft within a maximum range of 8 km. Dual transmission frequency support makes HD video downlink stable and reliable.

Ultra-bright Screen: The built-in 5.5 inch screen boasts a high brightness of 1000 cd/m² and a resolution of 1920×1080 pixels.

Multiple Connections: The Smart Controller supports Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connections.

Video and Audio Management: The Smart Controller has a built-in microphone and speaker, and is

capable of displaying 4K videos at 60 fps both in H.264 and H.265 formats. In addition, the videos can be displayed on an external monitor by using the HDMI port.

Extended Storage Capability: The Smart Controller’s storage capability can be increased by using a microSD card. This allows users to store more images and videos and makes it easier to export them to a computer.

Reliable in More Environments: The Smart Controller can operate normally within a wide temperature range from -4° F (20° C) to 104° F (40° C).

Compatible with More DJI Aircrafts: With the Aircraft Management feature of Smart Controller, users can add and manage more aircraft models. The Mavic 2 Pro, Mavic 2 Zoom, and Mavic 2 Enterprise series are supported.

DJI GO Share: The brand new DJI GO Share function of the built-in DJI GO 4 App enable users to transfer images and videos to smart devices after they have been downloaded from playback in DJI GO™ 4.

Maximum ight time was tested in windless conditions at a consistent speed of 15.5 mph

(25 kph) using the MAVIC

Refer to Specications to check compatible aircrafts models.

To comply with local regulations, the 5.8 GHz frequency is not available in some countries

and regions.

4K/60fps is supported for non HDR 10 bit videos. When selecting HDR 10 bit videos, only

4k/30fps is available.

The main difference between linking the Smart Controller with the Mavic 2 Pro/Zoom and

the Smart Controller with the Mavic 2 Enterprise series, is the built-in app used for ight. The

Mavic 2 Pro/Zoom uses the DJI GO 4 app and the Mavic 2 Enterprise series uses DJI Pilot. The general descriptions in this manual apply to all aircraft models that link to the Smart Controller.

2. This value should be taken for reference only.
