For anyone having problems linking the controller, simply turn on the controller without your phone attached, make sure the DJI app isn't open. Then press the flashing yellow light on the back of the drone until it beeps once then turn on the controller hold the Pause, FN and the far right back button on the controller. The controller should start beeping. After a few seconds (with the phone not connected the controller and drone will pair with a green light on the controller and a green flashing light on the drone. Now connect your phone and connect to the drones WiFi which you can do by holding the button on the back of the drone until it beeps 3 times. Connect and enjoy. I do wish this process was made simpler though.

the remote controller doesn't start beeping

The biggest problem anyone is having is the fact this aircraft is labeled as being connected wifi. So upon purchasing, most people think they have to connect the wifi of their phone to the air craft for it to work. This leaves mass confusion because once connected to wifi, your controller is no longer connected. The reality is that the wifi connection method is for virtual controller ONLY. And that version of wifi is very limited in range. The correct way to connect this is to link the remote controller and then connect it to your mobile device via the USB cable, NOT WIFI. You then click enter device and view mode. You never actually connect your mobile device via wifi. Wifi is what they are calling the connection between the RC Controller and the Drone. The controller is the connection to the drone, and then your mobile device is only connected to the controller to transmit the app commands and the video signal. You don't even put your mobile device wifi on, unless you want a virtual controller and very limited range. It's probably one of the most stupid and confusing things in the world world, but i finally figured it out. I hope this helps someone.

Would be a lot easier to follow without that background music competing for attention

[soyguikai]

what can i do when that doesn't work either?

[stoojinator]

Thank you! This wasn't obvious at all in the crappy documentation that came with my Air. I'm now flying from the transmitter instead of my phone!

Flash forward to July Thank you this method allowed me to finally connect my remote controller with the drone. 👍🏻

This video really helped. The instructions from Manufacturer was not working. This was much easier.

Good afternoon, now I can't use the dji go 4 application, when I turn on the cell phone (xiome) on the cable control, it keeps connecting and disconnecting the cell phone, what will it be? mavic air.

Thanks It works on my Xiaomi redmi note 9s and Mavic Air <3

I bought my Mavic air, I managed to do a 4 or 5 flights with it, after that the remote control no longer connects to the Drone, I have tried all the procedures including, bring it to the factory default, and whenever I use the DJi Assitence when arriving at 100% accuse an error and asks to restart the process, I have been waiting for a 3 months for a solution from DJi but until this moment I did not get any better answer than to send the drone to the factory. It happens that I am in Brazil and this is not feasible.
Has anyone ever had this problem? Is there any solution to get the upgrades done by DJi Assistence?
Thank you

Hello please can I get new controller for my drone or once it's spoilt it's gone?

[ZackLazo]

They don't mention it in the video, make sure your phone is plugged into the controller directly

[trollenz]

The BEEP BEEP BEEP on the RC is really painful during the linking process (especially considering that most of the time it doesn't work) I really don't understand the use of such a LOUD beep in any other situation than DANGER.

[vinhha]

[keithpovall]
