How can I connect my DJI drone to a smartphone?

Asked 5 months ago
Connecting a DJI drone to a smartphone is a straightforward process that enhances your flying experience by allowing access to various features and settings through the DJI app. To begin, ensure that both your drone and smartphone are charged. First, download the appropriate application for your drone model from the App Store or Google Play Store. For most DJI drones, the DJI Fly app or the DJI GO 4 app is required. Once the app is installed, turn on your drone and remote controller. The remote controller may need to be paired with your smartphone. To do this, use a compatible USB cable to connect the smartphone to the controller. Most DJI remote controllers come with multiple cable options to ensure compatibility with various smartphone models. After connecting the smartphone to the remote controller, open the DJI app. You will be prompted to allow necessary permissions, such as location services and camera access. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the connection. Once established, you will have full access to flight modes, camera controls, and flight logs. Make sure to check the user manual specific to your drone model for any additional steps related to connectivity.
