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.

charger rated 12V and one and a half hours using a recommended USB charger rated 15V.
Power Outlet
100~240 V
USB Charger
USB-C Cable

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.

Remarks
Left Stick UP
Down
Moving the left stick up or down changes the
aircraft’s altitude. Push the stick up to ascend and
down to descend. The more the stick is pushed
away from the center position, the faster the
aircraft will change altitude. Push the stick gently
to prevent sudden and unexpected changes in
altitude.
Left Stick
Turn RightTurn Left
Moving the left stick to the left or right controls
the orientation of the aircraft. Push the stick left to
rotate the aircraft counter-clockwise and right to
rotate the aircraft clockwise. The more the stick is
pushed away from the center position, the faster
the aircraft will rotate.
Right Stick
Forward
Backward
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 will move.
Right Stick
RightLeft
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 will move.
Keep the remote controller away from magnetic materials to avoid it being aected 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.

The gure below explains how to use each control stick. Mode 2 has been used as an example.

DJI RC Pro User Manual

Normal Mode: The aircraft utilizes GNSS and the Vision Systems and Infrared Sensing System to locate
and stabilize itself. When the GNSS signal is strong, the aircraft uses GNSS to locate and stabilize itself.
When the GNSS is weak but the lighting and other environment conditions are sucient, the aircraft
uses the vision systems to locate and stabilize itself.
Sport Mode: In Sport Mode, the aircraft uses GNSS for positioning and the aircraft responses are
optimized for agility and speed making it more responsive to control stick movements. Note that
obstacle sensing is disabled in Sport Mode.
Cine Mode: Cine mode is based on Normal mode and the ight speed is limited, making the aircraft
more stable during shooting.
Refer to the ight modes section in the aircraft’s user manual for more information about ight mode
features for dierent aircraft types.
RTH Button
Press and hold the RTH button until the remote controller beeps to start RTH. Press this button again to
cancel RTH and regain control of the aircraft. Refer to the Return to Home section for more information
about RTH.
Optimal Transmission Zone
The signal between the aircraft and the remote controller is most reliable when the antennas are
positioned in relation to the aircraft as illustrated below.
The optimal transmission range is where the antennas are facing toward the aircraft and the angle
between the antennas and the back of the remote controller is 180° or 270°. The illustrations show
situations where the operator and aircraft are far away.
Do not use other wireless devices operating at the same frequency as the remote controller.
Otherwise, the remote controller will experience interference.
A prompt will be received in DJI Fly if the transmission signal is weak during flight. Adjust the
antennas to make sure that the aircraft is in the optimal transmission range.
