DJI Drone / Controller Compatibility
With each new generation of DJI drones (e.g., Mavic 4 vs. Mavic 3 vs. Mavic 2), DJI typically introduces a new controller (e.g., RC-N1 vs. RC1A). However, for drone models that are primarily modifications of existing models (e.g., Air 3 vs. Air 3S), DJI often retains the same controller. That said, there are always exceptions to this pattern, which can make it challenging to determine which drones are compatible with which controllers. To provide clarity, the following chart outlines the compatibility between various DJI drones and their respective controllers.
