Product overview
The DJI RM500 smart controller combines flight control sticks and a 5.5-inch 1920×1080 display with up to 1000 cd/m² brightness in one handheld unit. It has 4 GB of RAM and 16 GB of ROM. Storage can be expanded with microSD cards of up to 128 GB rated UHS-I Speed Grade 3. A speaker, microphone and GPS module are built in. A cooling fan switches on and off and changes speed automatically as the internal chip temperature changes. With the antennas folded and the sticks removed, the controller measures 177.5 × 121.3 × 40 mm. It weighs about 630 g.
OcuSync 2.0 handles the aircraft link on the 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz bands. Maximum range is 10 km under FCC rules and 6 km under CE, SRRC and MIC rules, without interference or obstruction. Wi-Fi supports 802.11a/g/n/ac with 2×2 MIMO across 2.4 GHz, 5.2 GHz and 5.8 GHz. The controller also has Bluetooth 4.2. Some regions do not allow the 5.2 GHz and 5.8 GHz bands, and some limit 5.2 GHz to indoor use. The ports are HDMI, a microSD slot, USB-C and USB-A. The HDMI port only outputs video and cannot take video in. The USB-A port supplies 5 V at 900 mA. The C1 and C2 buttons can be reassigned in DJI GO 4.
Supported aircraft are the Mavic Air 2, DJI Mini 2, DJI Air 2S, Phantom 4 Pro V2.0, Mavic 2 Zoom and Mavic 2 Pro. Firmware V01.00.0530 added aircraft management and support for the Mavic 2 Enterprise series. You can install any number of third-party apps, but paid apps cannot be installed. DJI provides no compatibility support for third-party apps. From firmware V01.00.0650 onward, flight records are saved only to internal storage, not to the microSD card. The 5000 mAh, 7.2 V battery charges in about 2 hours with a 12V/2A USB charger and runs for about 2.5 hours. The controller can be used while it charges from a portable power source. It operates from -20°C to 40°C and charges from 5°C to 40°C.
