Hey all,

I've just purchased an Inspire and need to buy a replacement controller.  

Some advice if you please;    Does anyone know of third party controllers that perform well, or should i stick to the stock model?   Will i have any issues with "pairing" a new primary controller to the Inspire?

Many thanks for any guidance, and accept apologies if i've posted this in the wrong forum / subject.
Mike.

Welcome Mike!   You absolutely need to stick with the DJI Inspire remote.  There are so many functions you won't find on cheap 3rd party remotes, particularly when it comes to connecting a phone/tablet and the HDMI output.

Welcome and I agree with Jim. You cannot substitute other companies controllers due to the features that need to be controlled with the Inspire. Mainly the DJI Lightbridge video and gimbal controls, sure Futaba and JR have fantastic products with many more control features, but they just will not work.

Save your money and use the DJI remote

Thanks guys, I wasn't sure if there was a better one out there.  Coming from "toy drones" this beast looks like quite a change.  I appreciate the advice.

No problem at all.  Out of curiosity, why do you need a replacement?  Are you sure it isn't warranty related if you have trouble?

Stick with Jim's advice and I second his opinion. Using a third party controller is going to cause you a lot of grief and complications!  Most likely you will lose many important functions by using a third party controller.

Oh, i should have mentioned - I bought the unit through an in-house employee auction (floor model).  It's missing the controller.    I wasnt sure whether OEM was the way to go or if there was a 3rd party unit that offered better control etc since I'm purchasing one anyway.

Thanks for the input folks.   I'll be buying the stock controller.  Does anyone know whether the pairing process is a difficult on, or if there is a hardware synch I need to deal with?
