This is a great day for DJI flyers! Cheers 🎉

Great news. Going to buy the RC now that it’s compatible with my Air2S

[EmfantSr]

Great video. The update went perfectly. You do have to put each battery into each drone and do a firmware update individually. I have been out flying the Air2S with the RC like the drone is brand new. I can now see me using them equally as much now. The Air2S for local stuff and the mini 3 pro as my travel drone. Luv them both.

That is perfect. Waiting for my new RC to arrive to use it with the Air 2S. Very nice instructive video

[TomUlcak]

This video is exactly why I watch your channel. Yes, I could have figured this all out, but it would have taken me 5 times more time. Really appreciate you. Thanks.

Awesome video Shawn... shared it to my groups that have friends who have the air2s and been waiting for the RC compatibility

[musicguru]

I've been waiting for the RC for my Air 2S for so long! The RC Pro was too much for, as I have already spent a lot on my Air2S. I hope that future drone models will include RC's like this.

Hey Shawn - thanks for what you do! I just got my first drone for Father’s Day - the Air 2S with the RC controller…. Thus this is a perfect video for me!! Thanks again!! 😊

Great video, now DJI just needs to update the Air2S camera to enable the zoom function in photography mode.

Thanks for the information!

Having gone from the mini 1 to the Air 2s, I am more than happy with the standard remote I got with the air2s. It literally only takes 10 seconds to connect my phone, that I need for orthomosiac software anyways. Plus I've read the connection isn't the best.
Its great people who really wanted this for their Air can finally have this, but I'll just save my money for something more practical.

Solid video. Have had my Air 2s for a couple of months now and your channel has helped me a ton. Thanks!

[weirdmark]

I got the RC for Christmas and love it. FYI...I saw someone suggest opening the prop blades before start up as it is less torque on the motors. I noticed when they spun up, the drone moved a bit. Just a suggestion I thought I would pass along.

Nice video Shawn! I cannot wait to update my Air 2S now and start using the DJI RC Remote.

[graffixskull]

Thank you for the quick and concise video; I was able to get my drone and remote paired easily!

[JSKenterprise]

Great news. Ordering this remote today. Thanks

[funkamnkey]

That’s great news!! Thanks for sharing.

[natorsworld]

Great video with clear instructions! thank you! :)

[scottgivens]

IMO The biggest update appears that Remote ID is now installed or active in all of the devices mentioned and can not be rolled back

[KelleyStarr]

I want to add it the "settings" area of the app is found in two places. Go to the "profile" area to look for the firmware update you'll need. The settings option in the top right doesn't navigate there.

[GeoffBrabecDronesTech]

It will be nice to carry 2 drones and one remote in certain cases.
