2. Check the Battery Levels
Press once to check the Press once to check the battery level on
battery level. Press once, then LCD screen. Press once, then again and
again and hold to turn on/off. hold to turn on/off the remote controller
2. Charge the Batteries
4. Prepare the Remote Controller
- Choose an appropriate RC Do not twist the RC cable.
- The RC cable slider must be replaced if using a USB Type-C RC Refer to the User Manual for RC Cable connection.
5. Prepare the Aircraft
- Unfold the front arms and the propellers before the rear All arms and propellers must be unfolded before takeoff.
- The gimbal cover is used to protect the gimbal. Remove it when necessary
6. Prepare for Takeoff
Use your DJI account to activate the aircraft. Activation requires an internet Internet connection
- The Mavic Pro can be controlled using the Remote Controller or Virtual Joysticks. Select control modes by toggling the Control Mode Switch. Only toggle this switch when the aircraft is powered off
7. Flight
The default flight control is known as Mode 2. The left stick controls the aircraft’s altitude and heading, while the right stick controls its forward, backward, left and right movements. The gimbal dial controls the camera’s tilt.
Before taking off, make sure the Aircraft Status Bar in the DJI GO 4 app or on the Remote Controller LCD screen displays ‘Ready to Go’.
- The motors can only be stopped mid-flight when the flight controller detects critical error.
Controlling flight with Virtual Joysticks on your mobile device via Wi-Fi
- Toggle the Control Mode Switch to turn on Wi-Fi
- Power on the aircraft
- Launch the DJI GO 4 app and tap the icon on the top right of your screen, then scan the Wi-Fi QR Code on the front arm to start connection
- Tap Auto Takeoff
- Fly the aircraft with touch control
- Turn on your mobile device’s Wi-Fi and enter the Wi-Fi password shown on the front arm to connect to the Mavic network if for any reason you cannot scan the QR
- When using Wi-Fi in a wide open area with no Electro-Magnetic Interference, transmission distance is approximately 262 ft (80 m) at an altitude of 164 ft (50 m)
- The Wi-Fi frequency of your mobile device can be set to 4 Ghz or 5 Ghz. Set your Wi-Fi to 5 Ghz for less interference. Once connected to the Mavic Pro, you can change your Wi-Fi password or reset your Wi-Fi connection. (Refer to the User Manual for more information)
In the DJI GO 4 App
- Watch the tutorial in the DJI GO 4 app or on the Official DJI website to learn more.
- Always set an appropriate RTH altitude before When the aircraft is returning to the Home Point, you should guide it with the control sticks.
8. Fly Safe
Avoid flying over or near obstacles, crowds, high voltage power lines, trees or bodies of water.
DO NOT fly near strong electromagnetic sources such as power lines and base stations as it may affect the onboard compass.
DO NOT use the aircraft in adverse weather conditions such as rain, snow, fog and wind speeds exceeding 10 m/s or 22 mph.
It’s important to understand basic flight guidelines, for the safety of both you and those around you. Don’t forget to read the Disclaimer and Safety Guidelines.
