Flight

Ready to Go (GPS)
Before taking off, make sure the Aircraft Status Bar in the DJI GO 4 app indicates ‘Ready to Go (GPS)’ or ‘Ready to Go (Vision)’ if flying indoors.
In the DJI GO 4 App:

| Auto Takeoff
The aircraft will take off and hover at an altitude of 4 feet (1.2 meters).
---|---
| Return-to-Home (RTH)
Bring the aircraft back to the Home Point. Tap again to stop the procedure.
| TapFly
Tap on your screen to fly your Phantom in that direction, avoiding obstacles as it flies.
| Auto Landing
The aircraft will land vertically and stop its motors.
| Normal
You are in control of the Phantom, with satellite and Return-to-Home support.
| ActiveTrack
Mark an object on your screen to track it as it moves.

  • Watch the tutorial in the DJI GO 4 app or on the official DJI website to learn more.
  •  Always set an appropriate RTH altitude before takeoff. When the aircraft is returning to the Home Point, you should guide it with the control sticks. Refer to the Disclaimer and Safety Guidelines for more details.

  • Rotating propellers can be dangerous. Do not start the motors when there are people nearby.
  • Always keep your hands on the remote controller so long as the motor is still spinning.
  • Stop motor mid-flight: Pull the left stick to the bottom inside corner while simultaneously pressing the RTH button. Only stop motors mid-flight in emergency situations when doing so can reduce the risk of damage or injury. Refer to the user manual for details.

It’s important to understand basic flight guidelines, for the safety of both you and those around you. Don’t forget to read the Disclaimer and Safety Guidelines.
