2) People usually use existing phones rather than buying an expensive and flashy phone for the remote
3) The screen at maximum brightness is the main and strong consumer of energy.
4) That's 6 drone batteries for 3 hours of flight and your phone is still full of charge.
5) Yes, but not critical.
7) This is also not critical, and also, it is not always necessary to quickly make updates, as there may be unpleasant nuances.
A huge plus of the DJI RC-N1 is its low cost and the ability to install large tablets.
Everything else is a matter of taste for everyone and does not play a decisive role.
2. That's true. But here in Norway, a lot of peoples use all from mid range to high-end phones as it's very easy here to just get the best phones that are out on the market and take that on a downpayment.
Any mid range or high-end smartphones for the last 3-4 years should be very good for this. It's mostly iPhones that has the issue with dimming screens when it gets hot. If you know you have a bad smartphone with a bad screen and so on, then I do agree it can be better to just go for the 'DJI RC' controller.
3. That can be true for some smartphones. Now, I was just outside and was flying my Mavic 3 Pro for 2 batteries, or around 50 minutes. In that period, my battery on my Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 only lost 10% battery with 100% screen brightness. I have the phone to run a 'routine' that sets my brightness to 100%, sets the phone to 'Do not disturb' mode and sets the screen to 'Landscape' rotation when the 'DJI Fly' app opens.
4. The lesser I have to charge things, the better it always will be. So a longer battery life here is always a bonus, but not a dealbreaker.
5. Not to the point that it's horrible. I have seen smartphones lagging worser. But still. When the experience is so good because of the smoothness and lag free usage with a high-end phone, it's gonna be very hard to go back to the 'DJI RC' controller.
7. That's true. However, sometimes, there is new updates that contains fixes and new compability with things that can be of the important side. In my case, if there would be a BAD update to the 'DJI Fly' app (if that would ever happen in that scale) that I use on my smartphone, I can just go back to the older version of the 'DJI Fly' app until those issues would be fixed. Or in worst case scenario, go back to the 'DJI RC' controller temporary.
And for the last part. That's also true. I'm just listing the advantages we get if you use the 'DJI RC-N1' controller with a rather new and high-end smartphone. If you have those things, your experience overall is going to be much better with the 'DJI RC-N1' controller with such a smartphone.
The 'DJI RC-N1' controller also have a lot more advantages than the 'DJI RC' controller has.
EDIT: I have edited the title of this post to reflect that those advantages I list is in combination with a high-end smartphone. |
