Can I reuse my old controller?
Only when the exact controller model appears on the aircraft’s supported-controller list. A controller working with one DJI Mini does not establish compatibility with the next generation.
Before buying new or used
Read the exact model name on the controller label.
Confirm the exact aircraft model and supported transmission generation.
Check current DJI compatibility documentation and supported firmware.
For used units, assess activation status, screen, ports, controls, battery condition and account handover.
