Now the Mavic Pro could ship within one week now. Join us to learn the initial setup of the DJI Mavic Pro, then you could get it into the sky soon after you received it.
Starting with the base pack, the DJI Mavic Pro ships with the drone itself, the remote control, three remote connection cables, a power cable for the remote, the charger for the removable drone battery and an extra pair of propellers.
The drone comes with only the rear propellers installed, giving you the opportunity to learn how to install the props before your first flight. Installation is very simple, match up the small white circle on the one propeller to the white ring around one of the motors, line up the pins on the underside, press the propeller down into the motor and give a little twist. It’ll pop into place or pop off if you didn’t do it right.
Match the other propeller and motor and repeat. Do not mix these up, one spins clockwise and the other counter- clockwise, installing backwards will create downforce, your drone will never get off the ground.
The Mavic Pro is a collapsible drone, which you’ll need to unfold before you can fly. Start with the front arms, simply unfold them from the side of the drone, they are spring loaded, so they’ll resist you a little, then pop right open.
The rear arms are folded underneath the drone. The propellers are installed, so please be careful when you unfold, but go ahead and fight that same spring-load until the arms pop into place.
Battery installation is as easy as lining it up and pressing it down. There are two little buttons on either side of the battery, pinch them together and pull up to remove the battery.
It is recommended to power on the remote before powering on the drone, so let’s talk about the remote first.
The remote for the DJI Mavic Pro is an impressively small, video-game inspired, controller. It has two antennae, which fold together and snap in place. There are two folding arms that mount your smartphone at the bottom. Supplied are cables with micro USB connector for Android devices, Lightning connector for modern iPhone and USB Type-C for whatever doesn’t fit above.
Smartphone connectivity can be managed through the micro USB port on the left side of the remote or through the full size USB port at the bottom. Use the side micro USB port to charge the remote itself.
You need to double tap the power button to turn on the remote, single press then immediately long press the power button until it powers up. A single tap will read out the current power level. This is true of the drone as well, double tap to power on.
You do not need to use your smartphone or small tablet with the DJI Mavic Pro, the supplied remote is enough to handle the majority of flight and photography needs. That said, there are extra functions and features only found within a connected smartphone running DJI’s app.
Head on over to the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store to download the appropriate version of the DJI Go app for your device.
