DJIFPV Remote Controller 2

This is a genuine DJI remote controller 2!! I paid only $157 and it looks and feels brand new, though it only came in a plastic bag with no instructions or box.At first I was very disappointed because it wouldn’t charge using my expensive Apple USB-C charging cord and was so upset because currently at the time of writing 9/1/22 the DJI Avata has just launched and these controllers have become extremely scarce since DJI decided not to include one of these in any bundle for their new cinewhoop.Thankfully before returning my perfectly working controller as a faulty unit, I tried my two cheapest gutterbird usb-c cables and the controller charging lights lit up like Christmas.I was overjoyed.It did take HOURS to fully charge, but I checked it this morning and as of this writing I’ve got one fully charged official remote 2 waiting for my brand new Avata!!!Edit: whew! After figuring out the charging fiasco, I came onto another problem. This controller wouldn’t pair! I did some research and realized the firmware might not be up to date. I found it impossible to update the firmware using the iPhone app.When I tried to download the app there wasn’t one on the mac store and finding the correct install on DJI’s website was less than easy. The correct app is the DJI assistant 2 consumer drone edition or something convoluted like that.But when you try to install it violates a lot of software rules and attempts to execute Terminal installs, so I cancel installation and uninstalled as much as I could, then switched to my PC to install the firmware update.I was finally able to connect my controller to the app on my PC (make sure your controller is charged and you know how to turn it on properly! (click and then click and hold for four until you hear the power on jingle)) and lo, found this controller I bought here was on a 1.0 firmware.Near success.I attempted to update.Thwarted.Update failed.Why????Don’t know. Retried.Firmware update succeeded!Moment of truth.DJI Remote Controller 2 paired instantly to my fully updated Avata.To the others in the reviews here, I feel sorry for you all for giving up so quickly. Many of you probably returned perfectly working controllers.

It’s also great to use with BNF drones. Like the iFlight Nazgul Evoque f6D V2 HD w/DJI 03 unit. (Just to name one.)

Great remote

This is really nice to have with the Avata, alongside the motion controller 2. It is solidly built and works as expected. It definitely gives you more maneuvering capabilities than the motion controller alone.

I got tired of waiting for DJI to stock this controller so I broke down and bought from this vendor. It does seem to be a unused and in a bag, not a DJI box without instructions. Other then that it is no different then if you bought from DJI. Here's what you need to know to get it working.First, it only charges using a old style USB to USBc cable. Just like the motion controller.Second, use DJI Assistant2 and connect the controller to a PC to activate and update the firmware before you do anything.Third, find the FAQ section on the DJI Avata for the 'Drone' section and scroll down to linking the drone, goggles and remote controller. Follow those directions and it will work.How this helps. I'm happy with this vendor. Couldn't wait on DJI any longer for them to stock this item.

At the top description it says it is compatible with the Avada 2. That is wrong. Only the FPV controller 3 is compatible with the Avada 2. This is in all likelihood an excellent controller, but will not work with the Avada 2. We had to purchase the correct controller and return this one. Given 5 stars because it isn't the fault of the controller that the description is wrong.

I ordered this remote and within 15 minutes I cancelled my order. Three days later I got a notification that my account was charged and it was shipping. I received a notice it woukd arrive in 2 weeks. I got a notice 2 weeks that it was out for delivery. Then that day it said running late. Next update would not give me the delivery day. Finally able to get a refund through Amazon. Item never arrivedAbout the remote.The one I actually received works great. DJI has quality products. Easily binds to your drone by pressing the power button and holding it until you hear it beating. Only takes seconds to bind. Battery power will give you 6 hours flight timeHighly Reccomended
