Introduction
The DJI RC Pro remote controller features O3+, the latest version of DJI’s signature OCUSYNCTM image
transmission technology, and can transmit a live HD view from the camera of an aircraft at a distance of
up to 15 km [1]. The remote controller also supports dual transmission, making the HD video downlink
stable and reliable. The remote controller has a maximum operating time of 3 hours [2].
High-Bright Screen: The built-in 5.5-in high brightness 1000 cd/m2screen boasts a resolution of
1920×1080 pixels.
Multiple Connection Options: Users can connect to the internet via Wi-Fi and the Android operating
system comes with a variety of functions such as Bluetooth and GNSS.
Audio and Video: With the built-in speaker, the remote controller supports H.264 4K/120fps and H.265
4K/120fps video, which also supports video output via the Mini HDMI port.
Extended Storage Capability: The internal storage of the remote controller is 32 GB and also supports
the use of microSD cards to store the photos and videos, making it easier to export to a computer.
Reliable in More Environments: The remote controller can operate normally within a wide temperature
range from -10° to 40° C (14° to 104° F).
[1] The remote controller can reach its maximum transmission distance (FCC) in a wide open area with no
electromagnetic interference using a MAVICTM 3 at an altitude of approximately 120 meters.
[2] The maximum operating time was tested in a lab environment and is for reference only.

Controlling the Aircraft
Control Mode
The control sticks control the aircraft’s orientation (pan), forward/backward movement (pitch), altitude
(throttle), and left/right movement (roll). The control stick mode determines the function of each
control stick movement. Three preprogrammed modes (Mode 1, Mode 2, and Mode 3) are available
and custom modes can be congured in DJI Fly. The default mode is Mode 2. 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.
