Switching to an RC 2

[bbteach]

The phone I am using for my RD-N3 is screwing up. Rather than spend money fixing or replacing that phone, I decided to switch to the RC 2 controller. I am on the road until early May but, I ordered the controller now in case the tariffs spike the price. Hoping the phone will hold out until I get back to my Fixed Base Operation location,

My MA2 is the only drone I still use with an external display. I got it out of the case yesterday after almost 3 months of sitting idle for a flight using my iPad mini 5. I really like the larger display, but it's so convenient and easier using my RC2 with my A3S even though it's a smaller screen, no iPad mount or cables to deal with.

What does the process of saving photos/videos off the drone, and getting them somwhere else (to a compputer, to your phone photo reel) look like whenyou've got an RC 2?

I just use a USB-C to USB-C cable to connect with my PC and the drone appears as a drive. I have downloaded them direct to my phone too using the Bluetooth connection.

Back from my road trip and RC 2 was waiting for me. Got it updated and setup. Did a quick flight. It is so much nicer that the RC-N3+phone combo. Wish I had started with this setup in the first place.

Yes, it is nice, I use one with my Air 3s as well, but the N3 combined with a 12.9" iPad is very cool, I can use that on my desk and fly my Neo around the house to check the condition of the gutters etc. The big sharp screen is great for that.
