Warranty repairs and replacements at no extra cost including access to repairs infrastructure in the UK from a DJI Approved Repair Centre. During flight keep the RC antennas facing toward the drone to enjoy optimal transmission. If you prefer to take off manually using Mode 2 as an example pull both control sticks all the way to the bottom of the controller and then push inwards or outwards. Confirm that there are no abnormal reminders or alerts and that the GPS signal is adequate for flight. Place your smartphone inside the clamp with the charging port on the right side.
You have to watch carefully when flying the Mini, good advice even for a drone costing several times as much with obstacle avoidance. If you’re like me, and read just enough to take it off, it could be costly. You have to register it with DJI within a set time of the first time you activate it, in order to qualify for crash insurance. You have a second chance if you photograph it from all sides and submit a continuous video flying a designated pattern. Which means a very significant loss of image quality. The only minor snag I encountered is that the gimbal would sometimes flip back up slightly if I pointed it straight down.
It’s not going to fly above 400 feet because that’s how high it’s legally allowed to fly. Flying too far laterally isn’t a concern either, because if it leaves its established range, it’ll automatically return to the pre-established home location that you’ve established. I’m not an expert drone pilot, but what I can say is that after almost 10 hours of flying, over trees, homes, yards and a river, I didn’t crash or come close to. In conclusion, each Mavic provides users with powerful features and unique advantages to take their creativity to the next level. Whether you are new to the world of drones or seeking a drone that will take your ventures to all new heights the Mavic series will give you safe, reliable, and powerful options to take to the skies.

You don’t actually need a smartphone to operate your DJI Mavic Mini. As long as you take off using the included Mavic Mini controller, it’ll take off just fine. What do I need to know before installing the 360° Propeller Guard?
The FAA did approved DJI as a LAANC provider in late 2018, but it’s currently not available to most pilots. Hopefully, this capability opens to everyone sometime soon so you can just do it all in the DJI app. While the update notes are vague, but this version brings support for the Google Pixel 6, and possibly any other phone phantom 4 that was failing to show a live view from the drone camera. A quick test confirms that the Fly app is now working correctly on the Pixel 6. Content creators and hobbyist drone pilots will likely see a resolution to this Pixel 6 issue, but there’s no estimated timeline, and communication through the forums has been limited.
Tighten the clamp making sure everything is secure and then connect the cable to your smartphone. DJI Air 2S has two different types of motors and propellers that must be matched. Visit the Downloads page on the official DJI website to scan the QR code and download and install the dji drones app. If it doesn’t, it’s still worth calibrating it in the Fly app. Hit the three dots in the top-right of the DJI Fly app and head to the ‘Safety’ section, before going to ‘Calibrate’.
