Rumors about DJI’s next-gen premium remote controller, the RC Pro 2, have intensified this week after multiple leaks surfaced online, including specs for its groundbreaking 2,000-nit Mini LED screen. Tipped to launch alongside the highly anticipated Mavic 4 Pro drone, the upgraded controller promises to revolutionize outdoor visibility for pilots.
A Display Built for the Sun
According to leaked documents shared by DroneXL (via this exclusive report), the DJI RC Pro 2 will feature a 7-inch Mini LED display capable of reaching 2,000 nits of peak brightness—double the output of its predecessor. This upgrade addresses a long-standing pain point for drone enthusiasts, as older DJI remotes often struggled in direct sunlight. Mini LED technology also promises deeper blacks and enhanced color accuracy, critical for photographers and videographers relying on real-time footage.
A now-deleted product listing from an Eastern European retailer, Prolaika.sk, briefly outlined additional specs, including a 120Hz refresh rate and HDR10+ support. Meanwhile, renowned leaker @JasperEllens shared cryptic footage of what appears to be a prototype unit, showcasing the display’s vibrant output under harsh lighting.
Mavic 4 Pro Synergy and Unboxing Hype
The RC Pro 2 is expected to debut as the flagship controller for DJI’s Mavic 4 Pro, which itself has been the subject of relentless speculation. Earlier this week, tech blog GSMGoTech published what it claims is the first unboxing footage of the Mavic 4 Pro, though DJI has yet to confirm its authenticity. The video highlights a redesigned, more compact chassis and a Hasselblad-branded camera system—aligning with DJI’s push for professional-grade imaging.
Industry analysts suggest the RC Pro 2’s enhanced display could hint at the Mavic 4 Pro’s video capabilities, such as support for 8K/60fps recording or improved dynamic range.
Social Media Buzz and Pre-Order Clues
Leaks have sparked a frenzy on social media. Twitter user @sebasfernandezg posted a blurry image of a retail box labeled “RC Pro 2,” while @Quadro_News hinted at a late Q3 2025 release window. Notably, a since-removed Amazon placeholder listing (archived here) briefly listed the controller at 300 premium over the original RC Pro.
DJI’s official support account, @D2Help, added fuel to the fire by responding to a user’s inquiry with: “Stay tuned for exciting updates!”—a phrase the company typically uses before major launches.
What’s Next?
With CES 2026 still months away, DJI could opt for a standalone launch event for the Mavic 4 Pro and RC Pro 2. For now, drone enthusiasts are advised to keep their eyes peeled—and sunglasses handy.
