Built-in screen

The DJI Smart Controller features a built-in 5.5-inch ultra-bright 1080p screen.
At 1000cd/m², the display is approximately twice as bright as a screen on a conventional smart device.
This helps to keep your feed viewable, even in direct sunlight.

This means that the device automatically switches between 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz.
This helps to reduce the influence of environmental interference on drone operation and image quality.
The DJI Smart Controller has long-range transmission of up to 8km.
