The DJI RC launched with theDJI Mini 3 Pro. It includes that all-important integrated screen, and is slightly less fancy than the RC pro (I’ll get into the exact differences below) butmuchless expensive. The DJI RC costs US$309 / £255 / AU$399, while the RC Pro on its own is around three times the price at US$1,199 / £879 / AU$1,529.

It’s not all good news though. While the RC Pro can be purchased as part of the Cine bundle with the Mavic 3, the RC is not available as part of a bundle. And it doesn’t look like that’s going to change, either: when our sister siteTechRadarreached out to the brand, they were told, DJI “don’t currently have any plans to offer a Mavic 3 + DJI RC bundle”. There’s no no-controller option (as there is with the Mini 3 Pro), so you’ll need to buy the standard bundle, with the DJI RC-N1 included, and add the DJI RC as an extra.

Deciding whether it’s worth the cash to go for the RC Pro rather than the regular RC? Both have a 5.5" touchscreen display, but the Pro’s is brighter – 1,000-nits rather than 700. Although that does have a negative impact on battery life; the regular RC lasts four hours, the Pro only lasts three. Shell out for the Pro and you’re also getting 32GB of internal storage (as well as the microSD card slot that features in both versions), and an HDMI-out port. The Pro version is much heavier, and both have a 15km video transmission range.
Wondering if you can just make do with the smartphone controller that comes bundled in? That one doesn’t have an internet connection, and it won’t let you install third-party apps, either.
