DJI Motion Controller Professional Edition

The advanced communication technology adopted by the DJI Motion Controller Professional Edition and the new control algorithm enables the Pan-Tilt System to respond to somatosensory operations in real time, providing precise and direct control methods for professional film and television shooting. Get the shots of smooth, complex shots and high-speed moving scenes at your fingertips.

The somatosensory controller has a built-in compass and high-precision IMU, together with an optimization algorithm to ensure accurate and rapid movement of the head. Thanks to its 2.4GHz and 5.8Ghz dual-band bi-directional wireless communication, the control distance is as high as 3KM, allowing for greater shooting space. It also supports the wired connection. The communication delay is as low as 10 milliseconds. The pan-tilt system can achieve extremely fast response with almost zero delay, avoiding mutual interference between the devices in the shooting scene.

DJI Somatosensory Controller Professional Edition can use the adapter to mount the somatosensory controller on a tripod or a camera stabilizer. It can also be used with lightweight hand-held crossbars, installation and matching monitors, graphics transmission systems, thumb sticks, and other accessories to satisfy the photographer’s different manipulation habits. Through the built-in high brightness OLED display interface of the somatosensory controller, the photographer can directly adjust the parameters of the pan/tilt; the speed of the three axes of the pan/tilt can also be changed through the speed adjustment knob according to the shooting needs.
