DJI Smart Controller Complete Guide

The DJI Smart Controller is a remote controller for your drone. It’s designed to make flying easier and more intuitive, allowing you to focus on taking great photos and videos instead of worrying about the technical details of flying.

The controller has five buttons: two joysticks (one for each hand), a shutter button, an App switch button and a power button. The left joystick controls altitude while the right joystick controls speed or direction depending on what mode you’re in (more on this later). The shutter button takes photos when pressed down halfway and starts/stops video recording when pressed all the way down; it also doubles as an OK button when entering text into fields within apps such as mission planning software DJI Ground Station Pro or Mission Planner 2 – Advanced Edition.

The App Switch Button allows you access to any installed apps on your smartphone via Bluetooth connection between phone & controller; press once within three seconds after powering up device before takeoff process begins so that everything syncs properly during flight time!

Design & Features

The DJI Smart Controller is a portable, durable device that has a display and brightness controls. It also has other features such as an SD card slot for storing photos or videos and two USB ports for charging other devices.

The controller is made from plastic with rubberized grips on the sides to prevent it from slipping out of your hands while you’re using it. It weighs about 1 pound (0.5 kg), so you’ll hardly notice it in your backpack or even pocket if you want to take it with you somewhere else besides flying drones!

Performance & Battery Life

Battery Life & Charging
The DJI Smart Controller can be charged using the included micro USB cable and adapter, which plugs into any standard wall outlet. The battery life is about 20 hours on a full charge, but this will vary depending on how much you use it and what features you use (for example, if you’re streaming video or playing music).

Software & Connectivity

The DJI Smart Controller is compatible with the DJI GO 4 app, which can be downloaded from the App Store or Google Play. The controller has a built-in WiFi connection and supports 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequencies, so you can use it as far as 100 m (328 ft) away from your phone or tablet.
The DJI Smart Controller offers an intuitive user interface that makes it easy to control your drone with just one hand. The screen displays flight information such as distance, altitude and speed at all times during flight; there’s also an option for viewing a map of where you’ve flown on previous flights if needed.

Pricing & Availability

The DJI Smart Controller is available from the DJI Store, and it’s priced at $249.00. This controller is more than worth the price, as it makes flying your drone much easier and more convenient than using just a smartphone or tablet alone. With its built-in screen and intuitive controls, you’ll be able to focus on getting great shots instead of worrying about how to control your drone with just one hand!
