I just came over from Mavic Pilots. Hi everyone! I have a DJI RC controller for my Air 2s, and a DJI RC-2 controller for my Mini 4 pro which I will also use with the Neo. I don't have a phone that will run current DJI FLY app. I just ordered a new Neo combo est. delivery 12/10 ( just Neo and batts. no controller)& DJI RC motion controller 3. I also already have the Goggles 3 I'm using with the mini 4 pro. I've read and seen videos on how to link everything, but they are using a phone with the current fly app. Since I don't have a phone that will run the fly app, can I use the RC-2 controller and the current fly app within the controller to link everything together ?

Your RC2 is listed as a compatible controller. Just guessing. Probably should be able to use the RC2 fly app. Might depend if you have the latest updated fly app . First thing I would do. Then give it a try. You would think it should, but the 04 system is little different even though the RC-2 uses 04. Everything goes through the Goggles3 and now N3. The goggles is your transmitter. Relays all your controller inputs to the Neo and Avata2. To use the MC3 you will need to use your Goggles3.
Even using the smartphone DJI FLY app I needed to update it to the latest version along with all the latest updates for the Goggles3 and Neo to bind everything.

Thanks NeoNeo I hope I can use the controller. I don't even remember the last time I used a phone to fly. Been lovin' the controllers with built in screens and now the goggles! And yes the first thing to do is update everything, firmware and fly app. before binding. Thanks so much for all your help

welcome to the forum
yes, you can use the RC2 to fly your Neo ,and to link it to your DJI account, the current fly app on the RC2 is 1.15.4 which is used to fly the Mini 4 pro the Air3 and Air3s and also the Neo

When I saw that you "manually" fly the Neo with the phone app, the thought was not positive. I think it would be difficult without the tactile feel of sticks or positional feel of the MC3. My luck I would lift the digit and not be able to recenter on the virtual sticks right at the moment before really needing to change direction. Maybe ok for slower than slow flying in a more open environment?
jmc667, enjoy your Neo. For immersive, "VLOS" FPV on calm to light wind days it has become my primary UAS. In Manual mode using the FPV RC3 it is agile, fast enough at lower altitudes, and robust.

Everything you say above is 100% correct.
And when that time comes when you need to manually control the dang thing in a pinch you'll be elevating DJI to godhood for spending the resources to include it.
Been there.
Ya NeoNeo, a lot of options with that thing. Been watching many Youtube vids while I wait for delivery. Many options with the Neo & DJI stuff I already have
