Anyone know if DJI made a controller with the phone at the bottom?

Hey, does DJI have a controller that lets you mount the phone below instead of on top? Like the Mavic and Mini series but with the phone in a different spot?

No, they stopped making those a while back.

What models did they make like that before?

The last one like that was probably for the Mavic 2. But you could also use the newer RC Pro with it.

That old controller doesn’t work with newer models if that’s what you’re after.

Not exactly. I’m trying to find a sun hood that fits those older bottom-mounted controllers. Every sun hood I see is for top-mounted ones. I need the right name to search for a sun hood for a bottom loader.

I remember my old Mavic Mini controller had these fold-out arms from the bottom that held the phone on both sides. Honestly, it wasn’t as nice as the top mount on my Mini 3 Pro controller.

Thanks, that’s what I’m looking for! Just need some terms to search for a sun hood that fits that style of bottom-mounted controller.

Have you tried flipping the controller upside down? You’d have to adjust to the new controls, but it’s one way to get the phone at the bottom! :slight_smile:

I can’t tell if you’re joking or serious here! I need a sun hood for a bottom mount that won’t mess with the phone buttons.

@Denny
A bit of both, haha! But seriously, you could make a mod to hook the phone at the bottom if you use a longer cable. Or just tape the sun hood to the back of the controller!

The only sun hoods I found are for top-mounted controllers or ones with built-in screens. Those don’t work because they don’t fit between the phone and the controller in a bottom-mounted setup.
