Dji mini 3 connection question

Yes, the 'e' version of the app is required for the Mini 3 series. But as noted in this link you can only use the N1 or RC Pro remotes.

Could we please get that article updated to specify it is not compatible with the dji-rc controller?

I purchased a DJI RC-N1 which is the remote model to which you use your phone instead of a built in screen and it does indeed work quite well.
