The DJI RC-N1 (model RC231) is DJI’s standard remote controller for a wide range of its consumer and prosumer drones. It pairs with your smartphone to give you a live camera feed and full flight control through the DJI Fly app. The design is compact and ergonomic, with physical controls laid out so the core flight and camera functions are always within easy reach of your thumbs.
The RC-N1 works with a long list of DJI drones, including the Mini 2, Mini 2 SE, Mini 3, Mini 3 Pro, Mavic Air 2, Air 2S, Mavic 3, Mavic 3 Cine and Mavic 3 Classic. It supports DJI’s O2 and O3 video transmission systems, so maximum range and live-view quality depend on the drone it’s paired with. Compatibility can depend on firmware, so it’s best to keep both the drone and the controller updated through the DJI Fly app.
A telescoping mobile device holder at the top grips your phone securely, so the screen sits right above the control sticks for a natural view while flying. It fits phones up to about 180mm long and 6.5 to 8.5mm thick. Your phone connects to the controller with a cable, which gives a stable, low-latency link for the live feed and app controls.
The controller has dedicated buttons for the most-used functions. A flight mode switch moves between slower, smoother flight and faster, more responsive flight. There’s also a one-press Return to Home button, a photo/video toggle, a shutter/record button and a gimbal dial for smooth camera tilt. A customizable button can be assigned to functions you use often. The control sticks unscrew and store inside the body of the controller, which protects them and keeps the unit compact in a bag or case.
Power comes from a built-in 5200mAh battery rated for up to about 6 hours of operation. That’s enough to cover several drone batteries in a single outing. The controller charges through a USB-C port and weighs about 387g, not counting a mobile device.
