Hello everyone

My first post so apologies if this has already been discussed…

I have recently purchased a Mini 3 and the new rc to go with it.

Is there a way the Litchi app can be used with the rc and not the phone?

Thank you in advance

Dave

The mini 3 is not supported at all by Litchi [modified by admin] as DJI have not released the sdk for it yet

Have this been updated yet? Is the mini 3 now supported?

More information can be seen here:

> The question is often asked when Litchi will support either the Mavic 3 or the Mini 3 Pro. As a result, I have created this “Guide” to explain why, at present, it is unlikely for Litchi to be able to support these drones. For companies such as Litchi to support a drone, the drone manufacturer (DJI) must first provide a library of functions to allow the drone to be controlled by software. This library of functions is called the “SDK” (Software Development Kit). Around the time these two drone…

Hi,I have a dji mini 3 pro, which is bound to another account,and I can not unbind it. If I was to buy a dji smart controller,coui install Litchi on it and fly without the need for dji fly app? Thanks

The DJI Smart Controller (RM500) (O2) is not compatible with the DJI Mini 3 Pro (O3).

Even if it were, I don’t think the Litchi app will circumvent DJI’s binding process.

Yes, the RC Pro is compatible. However, the larger problem is the bound account. DJI is very inflexible about this. Is there no way to contact the original owner and ask them to unbind it?
