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.

to start linking.

Controlling the Aircraft

The control sticks control the aircraft’s orientation (yaw), forward and backward movement (pitch), altitude (throttle), and left and right movement (roll). The control stick mode determines the function of each control stick. Three preprogrammed modes (Mode 1, Mode 2, and Mode 3) are available

and custom modes can be congured in DJI GO 4 / DJI Pilot. The default mode is Mode 2.

DJI Smart Controller User Manual

In each of the three pre-programmed modes, the aircraft hovers in place at a constant orientation

when both sticks are centered. See the gures below to see the function of each control stick in the

three preprogrammed modes.

Moving the right stick up and down changes the

aircraft’s pitch. Push the stick up to y forward and down to y backward. The more the stick is pushed

away from the center position, the faster the aircraft moves.

Moving the right stick to the left or right changes the

aircraft’s roll. Push the stick left to y left and right to y right. The more the stick is pushed away from the

center position, the faster the aircraft moves.

Keep the remote controller away from magnetic materials to avoid it being affected by

magnetic interference.

To avoid damage, it is recommended that the control sticks are removed and stored in

the storage slot on the remote controller during transportation or storage.

Flight Mode Switch

Toggle the switch to select the ight mode. Choose between T-mode, P-mode, and S-mode.

DJI Smart Controller User Manual

位置T

位置P

Position Flight Mode

Position T

Position P

Position S

T-mode (Tripod): The aircraft utilizes GPS and vision systems to locate itself, stabilize, and navigate

between obstacles. In this mode, the maximum ight speed is limited to 2.2 mph (3.6 kph). The

responsiveness to stick movements is also reduced for smoother, more controlled movement.

P-mode (Positioning): P-mode works best when the GPS signal is strong. The aircraft utilizes GPS, Vision Systems, and an Infrared Sensing System to stabilize, avoid obstacles, and track moving subjects. Advanced features such as TapFly and ActiveTrack are available in this mode.

S-mode (Sport): The handling gain values of the aircraft are adjusted to enhance aircraft maneuverability. Note that Vision Systems are disabled in this mode.

Regardless of the position the switch is in on the remote controller, the aircraft begins in P-mode

by default. To switch ight modes, rst go to camera view in DJI GO 4 / DJI Pilot, tap “Multiple Flight Modes”. After enabling multiple ight modes, toggle the switch to P and then to S or T to switch ight modes.

Customizable Buttons

There are three customizable buttons on the controller: C1, C2, and the Conrm button. When the remote controller is not linked to an aircraft, press the Conrm button to conrm a selection. When

the remote controller is linked to an aircraft, the button cannot be used to confirm a selection. However, the function of the button when linked to an aircraft can be customized in DJI GO 4 / DJI Pilot.

The functions of the C1 and C2 buttons are set in DJI GO 4 / DJI Pilot. The default conguration for the C1 button is center focus and the default conguration for the C2 button is playback.

Optimal Transmission Range

The optimal transmission range of the Smart Controller is shown below:

80°

Make sure the antennas are facing towards the aircraft. When the angle between the antennas and the back of the Smart Controller is 80° or 180°, the connection between the remote controller and the aircraft can reach its optimal performance.

Note that the illustrations above do not reect the actual distances between the user and aircraft

and are for reference only.

DJI GO 4 / DJI Pilot will warn the user when the transmission signal is weak. Adjust the antennas to make sure that the aircraft is within the optimal transmission range.

Operating the Camera

DJI Smart Controller User Manual

Dual Remote Controller Mode

DJI Smart Controller supports Dual Remote Controller Mode when using with the Mavic 2 Pro/Zoom, which allows two remote controllers to connect to the same aircraft.

Both the Primary remote controller and the Secondary remote controller can control the orientation of the aircraft and the movement of the gimbal and camera operation.

Please note the different operations of the Primary and Secondary remote controller listed below.

1. Gimbal Dial

Both the Primary remote controller and the Secondary remote controller can control the gimbal dial, but the Primary remote controller has priority. For example, the Secondary remote controller is unable to control the gimbal dial when the Primary remote controller is using the gimbal dial. After the Primary remote controller has stopped controlling the gimbal dial for two seconds or more, the Secondary remote controller can control the gimbal dial.

2. Control Stick

Both the Primary remote controller and the Secondary remote controller can control the orientation of the aircraft using control sticks. The Primary remote controller has priority. The Secondary remote controller is unable to control the aircraft’s orientation when the Primary remote controller is operating the control sticks. After the control sticks are idle for two seconds or more, the Secondary remote controller can control the aircraft’s orientation. If the control sticks on the Primary remote controller are pushed down and inward, the motors of the aircraft stop. If the same action is performed on the Secondary remote controller, however, the aircraft does not respond. The control sticks on the Primary remote controller need to be released so that the Secondary remote controller can control the aircraft.

3. Flight Mode Switch

The ight mode can only be switched on the Primary remote controller. The Flight Mode Switch is

disabled on the Secondary remote controller.

4. DJI GO 4 Settings

The display and parameter settings for the Primary and Secondary remote controllers in DJI GO

4 are the same. The Secondary remote controller can only congure the ight controller, vision

system, video transmission, and Intelligent Flight Battery. Display and parameter settings for the Primary and Secondary remote controllers are the same in DJI GO 4.
