Air 2S and DJI RC

Questions & Answers
1

Hi all,
I’m flying a Mini 3P with the DJI RC at the moment.
I’m thinking of buying an Air 2S while they are going ‘cheap’.
Can I fly the Air 2S with the DJI RC and if so is it much of a faff to switch between the two?
Otherwise I’ll need to buy a more up to date phone or iPad which I don’t really want to do.
Thanks for any advice. Apologies if I missed a previous Q&A about this.

Yes you can, I use the RC with both the Air 2S and my Mini 3, once you have bound it to both drones just select the one you are going to fly by selecting “Connection Guide” within the Fly app. It will state there is an update just click OK (no need for a wifi/mobile connection for this).

Question now is, when to pounce…

I own both the Air 2S, the Mini 3 Pro & the DJI RC, all of which I took out to Raja Ampat in West Papua, Indonesia in late 2022 to capture aerial footage while on a scuba diving holiday, where I found the Mini 3 Pro the easiest and most convenient to quickly get up in the air in between morning dives to also capture aerial locations of where we’d been taking an in between dives break for a drink or snack . Taking more time off to fly in the afternoons to fly several kilometres out to distant islands from my eco-resort base I found it easy to rebind the DJI RC to the Air 2S which I believed more capable of coping with stronger offshore winds. On starting up the Fly app it will recognise it’s a different craft so I just selected the Air 2S option instead of the Mini 3 Pro, held down the battery for the appropriate length of time needed for the binding to be signalled and Bob’s Your Uncle! This method can also be verified by checking out several postings on YouTube on the rigmarole for the steps needed how to do it.

Thanks guys, I do now have a (s/hand) Air 2S as well as my Mini 3P, and it is indeed dead easy and straightforward to switch between the two on the RC.

I love the same combination and I do the same switch between all the time. Enjoy
