In the advanced settings, you can turn off the drone’s sensors, and define what it does when a sensor detects something, what is the maximum height that the drone can reach, as well as the distance. In RTH mode, how high it will climb before returning and even fine and customised settings for the response to gimbal commands and control sticks, as well as a number of others. In short, you can make personalised adjustments according to your taste. In the case of Android, to run the app, the smartphone must have Android 6.0 or higher.
We can literally take weeks out of the schedule, our projects are much higher quality than before, and they’re safer. It’s rated to handle Level 5 wind, which is between 19 and 24 mph. But, keep in mind that wind gusts will usually be stronger than what the weather is calling for. I flew on a day with 17 mph winds and the drone warned me of strong wind gusts and asked me to land. To play it safe, I would keep the drone at wind speeds of less than 15 mph.
When starting the app for the first time, you need to be connected to Internet in order to validate the app with DJI servers. Adjusting the gimbal pitch speed and smoothness will allow for a more cinematic video. Under here you can set important safety parameter such as max flight distance and speed. Tapping the quick shots icon will allow you to choose one of four unique, automated flight patterns for capturing stunning video recordings with your Mavic Mini.
If you are on a limited budget, you will have to scour the market for the best deals. My advice is to seek a device that meets the minimum system requirements for to work effectively. However, the price is usually the most important factor for most of us. As a result, there are some things to consider when purchasing a device to use with DJI Fly. DJI Fly works wonderfully on this smartphone and I am certain it will continue to do so for many years to come. The worst of them is probably having to cope with uncontrollable stuttering.
Ensure that you have enough battery in your drone and controller. First, ensure that your drone battery level is at least 40% and the controller 20%. Due to the lack of official information from DJI, it is assumed that a minimum of 1 GB of RAM is required to operate . However, as you can see, your devices need to have at least 4 GB of RAM to properly use DJI Fly. When you are out in the field, having a lengthy battery life is critical, and as I previously stated, this was a problem with my prior phone.
I ended up going a little further and explaining some other features and situations that occur with the DJI Fly app, but that can be of important knowledge for users of compatible models. When you first fly your drone, you might find your footage a little jerky and not smooth when you tilt your camera using your remote control’s wheel. I had the same problem and I was unable to capture a cinematic tilt shot until I realized that you can set the tilt speed to whichever speed you like. DJI won’t test every single qualified phone in the market, it only tests those who have a relatively larger market share. This list includes devices that are tested by both DJI and drone pilots.
DJI updated the dji fly app to version 1.6.5 for iOS devices only. So if you’re using the DJI RC, which runs on Android, you will not be able to update the app just yet. Under this setting you will be able to enable emergency propeller stop, which allows users to stop the aircraft propellers directly in the event of an emergency. The RTH altitude is very important to ensure your aircraft will fly at a safe and stable altitude when it returns to its home point. Before you set the return to home altitude, we recommend looking around at your surroundings to see what may be the highest obstacle and set the drone to return higher than that obstacle. By default, the drone is set to return to home at an altitude of 30m.
The control menu allows you to switch between flight modes and change the gimbal mode between follow and FPV. For the gimbal, follow mode provide stabilisation along all three axis for shooting smoother footage. In comparison, FPV mode unlocks movement along all three axis for a more dynamic shooting experience.
