Wonder if it were possible to use this to (finally) jailbreak DJIs original RC that came with the Mini 3 Pro.

It doesn't have a web browser or, virtually, anything of use... but I think it supports enough of a web browser to log in into wifi captive portals.

Root for these RCs has been available under the guise of “FCC hack” for a really long time now; different groups have different exploits (it’s DJI so there are plenty) that work on different firmware versions.

This would almost surely work there too, though.

What can you do with a jailbroken drone rc?

If you don't mind going to jail and/or paying a fine, flying in restricted/illegal areas.

Makes sense

[dji4321234]

Mostly they’re used to enable illegal RF parameters in Europe (FCC hack); DJI disabled strict geofencing in most of the “west” several years ago and that was also enforced in the drone anyway.

I don't care about FCC hacks, but about automation - the RC Pro controller is pretty expensive.
