The Mavic Pro is designed for intuitive flight control, but understanding its features is crucial for safe and effective operation.

• Pre-Flight Checklist: Before each flight, ensure propellers are securely attached, batteries are charged, the microSD card is inserted, and the flight area is clear of obstacles. Check GPS signal strength in the DJI Go 4 app.
• Takeoff and Landing: Use the automatic takeoff/landing function in the DJI Go 4 app for a smooth start and finish. The Flight Autonomy system allows the Mavic to land almost exactly where it took off.
• Obstacle Avoidance: The Mavic Pro utilizes vision sensors to detect obstacles up to 49 feet (15 meters) away, enabling it to fly at speeds up to 22 mph (36 kph) while actively avoiding collisions. Always maintain visual line of sight and be aware of your surroundings.
• Flight Modes: The DJI Go 4 app offers various intelligent flight modes, including ActiveTrack, TapFly, and Gesture Mode, to enhance your flying and filming experience. Refer to the in-app tutorials for detailed instructions on each mode.
• Camera Operation: The integrated 4K camera with a 3-axis mechanical gimbal provides stable and clear footage. Control camera tilt, capture photos, and start/stop video recording directly from the remote control or the DJI Go 4 app.
• Return to Home (RTH): The RTH function allows the aircraft to automatically return to its takeoff point. This can be initiated manually or triggered automatically in case of low battery or loss of signal.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your DJI Mavic Pro.

• Cleaning: After each flight, gently wipe down the aircraft and remote control with a soft, dry cloth. Ensure no dust or debris accumulates in the motor areas or around the camera gimbal.
• Propeller Inspection: Regularly inspect propellers for any cracks, bends, or damage. Replace damaged propellers immediately to ensure safe flight.
• Battery Care: Store Intelligent Flight Batteries in a cool, dry place. Avoid fully discharging batteries and charge them periodically if not in use for extended periods to maintain battery health.
• Firmware Updates: Periodically check for and install firmware updates for both the aircraft and remote control via the DJI Go 4 app. Updates often include performance improvements and bug fixes.
• Gimbal Protection: Always attach the gimbal protector when transporting or storing the aircraft to prevent damage to the camera and gimbal mechanism.

Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your Mavic Pro.

• Aircraft Not Powering On: Ensure the Intelligent Flight Battery is fully charged and properly inserted. Press the power button once, then press and hold for two seconds.
• No Video Feed in App: Check the connection between your mobile device and the remote control. Ensure the DJI Go 4 app is updated and the aircraft is powered on and linked to the remote.
• GPS Signal Weak/Lost: Fly in open areas away from tall buildings or strong magnetic interference. Allow sufficient time for the drone to acquire enough satellites before takeoff.
• Unstable Flight: Check propellers for damage and ensure they are correctly installed. Perform IMU and compass calibrations in the DJI Go 4 app if flight stability issues persist.
• Obstacle Avoidance Not Working: Ensure vision sensors are clean and unobstructed. Fly in well-lit conditions as vision sensors rely on adequate lighting.
