I'm not too sure if this was addressed already. I tried doing a search of the post and didn't find one that answered this question.
Is it possible to pair your DJI RC to work with multiple drone?

i.e. one controller where you can switch from one compatible drone to another.


Thank you

Hi there. Thank you for reaching out. To answer your question, you may use your DJI RC to multiple compatible aircraft, but it must be connected one at a time. If you need to switch to another drone, you must link them first. Moreover, you may be prompted to update the firmware when you change the aircraft, so it will be compatible with the drone. We hope this clarifies your concern. Should you have further inquiries, please reach back here at DJI Forum. Thank you, and have a nice day.

Thank you Tony. I thought that might be the case. That you needed to remove one and link the replacement drone.

Can the Mini SE link to the DJI RC (I'm pending receiving the DJI RC soon, so I haven't tried it yet.)

The DJI RC is currently only compatible with the DJI Air 2S, DJI Mavic 3, DJI Mavic 3 Classic, DJI Mini 3 Pro, and the DJI Mini 3. It is not compatible with the DJI Mini SE. We apologize for any inconvenience caused. Please let us know if you need further clarification. Take care!

If I have two mini 3 pro aircraft (one as a traveling spare) and I unbind the 1st one and then bind the 2nd one?  If so with DJI Refresh automatically bind too?   ( I purchased DJI Refresh for both drones.)  Thank You

Hi, rblim. Thanks for reaching out. Are both drones using their remote controllers? If yes, are each bound to its respective aircraft? Or, do you only have one remote controller for both? If it's the latter, then you must do the unbinding/binding process if you need to use the remote controller on another aircraft. If they both have their own, then it should be bound to their aircraft. The most important thing is you bind the remote controller you use to the aircraft in every flight to ensure the DJI Care Refresh Flyaway Coverage will take effect. Please let us know should you have other further clarification. Thank you.

Hi, rblim. Thanks for reaching out. Are both drones using their remote controllers? If yes, are each bound to its respective aircraft? Or, do you only have one remote controller for both?

I have only one RC controller for both mini 3 pro aircraft.  The second mini 3 pro is a 'traveling' spare in case something happens to the first while I'm away from home.  I just wanted to understand how to keep DJI refresh active on the drone I currently plan to fly.   So if I understood you correctly, to switch aircraft I would first have to unbind the first one.   Does the aircraft have to be connected to the RC Controller to unbind, or can the unbind process be done just from the RC Controller?   
One the 1st aircraft unbinding is complete I would power down aircraft #1 and then power up aircraft #2 and wait for the RC to recognize it and then complete the binding process to aircraft #2. I just need to make sure that what ever aircraft is flying is properly bound to the RC controller for DJI Refresh to active.

Thanks for the added details. To clarify, the remote controller is the one that needs to be unbound. And yes, to manually unbind, the aircraft must be connected to the RC. And the rest are all correct. We hope this clarifies your concern.

Hi, tony. I have a question. I have a mini 3 pro with rc2 which is the one with the screen on the remote. I  was wondering if i can still use that on the new dji air 3 and buy the standard package with the rc n2? I trying to say im not trying to spend more on a remote that i already have on my mini 3 pro, if i can just blind it to the new air 3?

Hi the RC for Mini 3 pro won't work with the Air 3. The Air 3 uses the RC 2 which is  with the Ocusyc 4 transmission. The new mini 4 pro and Air 3 use the same controller and will be inter changeable

Hi there. Sorry about the late response. I was not notified. djiuser_LDudjm8zG4vM is correct. The DJI RC-2 and RC-N2 currently do not support the Mini 3 Pro but can support the new Air 3 and Mini 4 Pro. If you're talking about the DJI RC that was bought with the Mini 3 Pro, the DJI RC is also not yet compatible with the Air 3. Please select the "Reply" button below this post for me to get notified if you have further inquiries. We appreciate your patience and understanding.

Hi there. Sorry about the experience. Though the Air 3 and the Mini 4 Pro use the same remote controller, their corresponding compatible firmware is not the same version. When switching to another model, it will detect the corresponding model again. If the firmware version does not match, an update prompt will appear. I will refer your feedback to the related team for evaluation. We appreciate your patience.

Hello, Mike. Thank you for reaching out. When using the drone with the DJI Goggles Integra and DJI RC Motion 2, the goggles can be regarded as a remote controller therefore, when the aircraft is bound to a standard RC (DJI RC or DJI RC-N1) it is normal that it will prompt you to change the bound device. Please connect the goggles to the mobile phone, change the bound device, bind a new device, or unbind the bound device in DJI Fly. Hope this helps.

I use a DJI RC for my Air 2s.  Only issue I have is that I can't live stream with that remote so I have to use my RC231 in order to live stream through the fly app on my phone.  When I pair the other controller I get a message asking if I want to bind the remote to the aircraft.  I'm also being shown that if I were to bind the RC231 to the aircraft then I would lose my care refresh.  So if I cancel I receive a message displaying that I can fly the aircraft using the remote 4 times without binding the remote to the aircraft.  What can I do?  Wish the RC controller would work with 3rd party apps, and allow live stream.  I can't afford to lose the care refresh coverage, and I will be needing to do live streaming of local races throughout the summer.

Hi there. The DJI Care Refresh is bound to the drone. If you want to a different controller, you must ensure that the remote controller you use in a flight is bound to the aircraft. Failing to do so will result in not being eligible to use the Flyaway Coverage Replacement. Please feel free to reach us if you have further concerns. Have a nice day.

OK, lets see if I can phrase this correctly. I crashed my Mini 2 SE and saw I can get a stand alone (no controller, batteries, etc) from a vendor. Can I still use the controller that came with the old one? Saw some things online, but nothing really addresses my situation that I could see.

Thank you for your assistance on this.

Hi there,
thank you for reaching out.

Kindly follow the troubleshooting steps below:

1. Please check whether the aircraft and remote controller both are powered on. Press the power button once, press it again, and hold it to power the device. The device will beep when it is powered on successfully.

2. Please check whether the aircraft has a microSD card. If yes, remove the microSD card and try linking again.

3. Try linking by pressing the combinations of buttons instead of using the Fly app: Press and hold the Power button on the remote controller for four seconds to prepare to link and then press and hold the Power button on the aircraft for four seconds to prepare to link.

4. If it still fails, check whether the remote controller has been updated to the latest version. Connect the remote controller to the app and make sure your phone is connected to the Wi-Fi. After the connection is successful, check whether there is a prompt to update the firmware. If yes, update the firmware to the latest version and try linking again.

5. You can also try to connect the aircraft to the computer, check the aircraft firmware version in the DJI Assistant 2, and try linking after updating & refreshing the aircraft’s firmware to the latest version. You can download the DJI Assistant 2 on https://www.dji.com/downloads/so ... sumer-drones-series

Please keep me posted. Thank you.

Hello friends!
I have a DJI mini 2 and recently the RC-N1 controller died.
My question is: being the RC-N1 controller compatible with both mini 2 and mini 3, if i aquire a mini 3 will the RC-N1 be able to control both drones? Don't want to discard my mini 2 drone because it's a very good drone and would be a wonderfull spare to the mini 3.
THX!!!
