RC2 controller becomes very slow or freezes when loading large Litchi waypoint missions on DJI Air 3S

Hello,

I am experiencing an issue with my DJI Air 3S.

When I create a waypoint mission in Litchi and then load it on my RC2 controller (with the built-in screen), the mission loads correctly. However, after loading the mission, the controller suddenly becomes very slow and sometimes the screen completely freezes.

This issue usually starts occurring with missions containing around 150 photos or more.

I have already tried the following:

  • Updated all firmware to the latest versions.

  • Changed the frequency band settings.

  • Reset the RC2 controller.

Despite these steps, the problem continues to occur.

Has anyone experienced something similar? What could be causing this issue, and are there any solutions or workarounds that might help?

Thank you.

This is a known limitation of the RC and RC2. They don’t have the resources (mainly memory) to handle larger waypoint missions. It’s not the number of waypoints, but the size of the KMZ file that causes the slowdown. Missions with fewer waypoints but more camera actions will also result in a slowdown. Unfortunately, the only solution is to use smaller missions on those devices.

Enable ‘Split into Multiple Flights’ when exporting, that’s what it’s for
