DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS GARBAGE
I never write reviews and this time I have to let everyone know. DJI only wants to make money off you for crappy products they produce. They do not support their expensive "smart" controller which is honestly the stupidest most unreliable piece of tech i have ever used. first time i turned it on it was programmed to China phone number only. It would not let me use an USA number. I spent 2 days with DJI tech support to fix this. After fixing that issue to actually go passed the set up screen. I had to update the firmware. KEEP IN MIND DJI DOES NOT SUPPORT WIRELESS UPDATES WITH THE SMART CONTROLLER. You can only update the firmware through their DJI Assistant 2 app. which failed for my 6 times. I had to go reach out to DJI tech support again and spent another day getting the firmware updated.
To use your controller, KEEP IN MIND, you MUST DOWNLOAD THE TINY AREA ON THE MAP TO USE THE CONTROLLER OUTSIDE OF WIFI, which is anywhere you want to fly. It only allows you to download a tiny rectangle of the map and only a certain amount before you have to delete all of them and restart. Also the signal is not nearly as strong as the regular controller with an iphone.
Other issues I have had. When I try to turn off the remote and hold the power button it will start vibrating but nothing will happen. If I hold the power button like you are supposed to it keeps the vibration going.
issue 2 that I have: updating to the newest firmware same issue as first time updating. Fails every single time. Been working with DJI tech support for 2 hours now and they cant find a solution.
CONCLUSION: do now waste your money on their crappy smart controller products. Do not get fooled like I did. They clearly only care about the IOS side instead of the Android side which is what the controller uses. I have only ever used Apple Iphone for DJI or anything else for tech. Clearly they just want to make money off you and sell you an inferior product that looks like it could be better. STAY FAR FAR AWAY from this product. Do not be fooled by anyone else who says otherwise.
