DJI recently introduced a new DJI Smart Controller<\/strong> during CES 2019. The new controller helps you to operate your drone directly without using a smartphone.  The controller has other features for the pilot that can improve the drone flying experience.<\/p>\n

When you decide to buy this smart controller, there are several great features that you should know. You can also utilize several of our drone buying guides to gain more information about various aspects of drones available on the market.<\/p>\n

Significance Of The Smart Controller<\/h2>\n

With the DJI\u2019s Smart Controller, you no longer rely on your tablet or smartphone to fly your drone. The new device also aims to eliminate the use of multiple components<\/strong> such as a mounting system, Crystal Sky monitor, cables together with the remote controller.<\/p>\n

The Smart Controller incorporates multiple components into a single entity that is easy to manage. Indeed, you may be wondering if it is necessary to buy this Smart Controller since you may have a smartphone that can also perform similar functions. While this is a valid argument, you should remember that you use your smartphone for a lot of things. Therefore, it would be unwise to drain its battery when you cannot quickly recharge it.<\/p>\n

Your smartphone does not stop receiving text messages, phone calls as well as other notifications while you are operating your drone. When it comes to safety, a smartphone may not be ideal to use while you are flying your drone. It might be dangerous to perform a critical move while at the same time you want to remove the notification on your screen.<\/p>\n

Therefore, a smart controller is a stand-alone device<\/strong> that is convenient to use. You do not need to rely on your phone anymore. The Smart Controller can also help to preserve power in your phone such that you can only use it for communication purposes other than flying a drone.<\/p>\n

Key Features Of DJI Smart Controller<\/h2>\n

The Smart Controller features a bright 5.5\u2033 built-in display<\/strong> that allows you to operate your drone without using a smartphone. With this new device, it is no longer necessary to use your mobile device to control the drone. The other advantage is that the controller can get your drone into the air a lot quicker and easier.  <\/p>\n

The new DJI Smart Controller can also support automatic switching of frequency between 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz<\/strong>. The operation helps to ensure reliable long range transmission up to a distance of about eight kilometers. It also helps to prevent environmental interference with the drone that can affect its operations and image quality.<\/p>\n

The Smart Controller has an output of a bright display of 1000 cd\/m2<\/strong> which is twice the amount of brightness of a smartphone. The controller can also function correctly in direct sunlight, and its illumination automatically adjusts when the auto mode is enabled. It uses a built-in light sensor to adjust the brightness, or you can manually do it.<\/p>\n

You can also use the menu to select options about how you want the screen to behave. In other words, you can customize<\/strong> the controller’s screen to suit your needs.<\/p>\n
