DJI Mavic Air Remote Pairing How to

[@jacquesdemolay2699]

You should practice making videos for the viewers - always check what the viewer can see. Make sure all relevant items are framed and in focus.

[@PatrickMcCoy2]

Thanks for sharing! This video is the only one which has an uncut sequence of pairing and is valuable. I have a Galaxy S7 and spent nearly 2 hours trying to pair the phone to the RC and the RC to the Mavic Air... also went through 1 whole battery in the process and drained my phone battery. PITA until I found your video. I was able to pair the RC to the drone, then began calibration, which was successful, then had to update the drone firmware and wouldn't you know it, the 2nd battery was below 50% so I couldn't finish it to take the drone off the ground... It ruined my excitement to get it today. Thanks DJI for not even having a simply version of pairing... UNCUT. Thanks again "Phones and Drones" for this video. I hope it helps others. I'll be sharing on forums as needed in the future.

[@PhonesAndDrones]

Hey Patrick. Super glad this was helpful for you. Always nice to hear that it's appreciated. Stay tuned for more :)

[@DirtyCatBox]

"Uncut sequence of pairing." This was the only video that solved the one itty bitty problem - fly by wire or wifi. Once you said, "Most people are going to be using the controller, so choose fly by wire..." OMG it was like the heavens opened up and angels sang. That was the problem. One stinkin' rotten problem. It should say "fly using controller" or "fly using phone." I would have chosen the former. Duh. Subscribed.

[@platonicdreamer]

when un r recording how to, make sure everything is visible on camera!! which cable did u put in the controller for instance and stuff like that.

[@abousidi75]

Exactly

[@mydata4158]

Thank you Guy. ❤️❤️

[@123sqpbc321]

You also powered it on with the gimble guard on. NOT recommended if you don't want burnt out gimble motors

[@Trentino_Adelaide]

cheers worked for me, I was using the ipad but the wireless was shocking, just tested the mavic air on my desk for my friends house two doors down lol, having remote connected to fly is awesome, so always connect using wired to remote never wireless :)

[@jacquesdemolay2699]

The USB C cable you are using is to connect your Mavic Air to your computer. You can do this when you want to download your videos from the drone internal memory onto your computer. So you should not plug it into the Remote Controller !!! I don't suppose it will do any harm - but it won't do any good either. The instructions you were (mis)reading on the leaflet were asking you to plug another (smaller) usb cable between the Remote Controller and the mobile phone (or tablet). You have 2 of these smaller cables supplied by DJI in your drone kit: one is for iOS and another for Android based phones/tablets. You mount your phone onto the RC and then you plug the small cable from the left side of the RC to your phone. My DJI GO 4 software detects the RC and the drone with no issues within a minute.

[@dant9133]

Very helpful video but atleast get the things you want to show within the screen. I can't see some parts clearly.

[@davidselzer1610]

WOW Thank you so much I have been messing with this setup for awhile.

[@PhonesAndDrones]

+David Selzer not a problem at all. Glad I could help

[@whitham1961]

Yeah, i noticed the camera lock was on he craft when powers on. Did your camera break?

[@aldinicola]

Thanks! After 100 attempts now it is connected.

[@kevinpalomo4634]

Hey did you had problems with linking the controller to???

[@karmaplays4857]

Do we even need to connect using usb? I did it first time without using any usb cabl

[@gunnerzane5230]

Nope

[@freewaybullit]

Great vid. One small point never power up the drone with the gimbal cover on 👍

[@PhonesAndDrones]

Thank you and good catch. That was my mistake leaving it on!

[@davephantom]

Good video but should have removed Gimbal Clamp before starting! Done this a few times myself - don't think it does the camera any good!

[@darrellcollins877]

problem is :: you had disconnected the RC and the DRONE wire , so somehow it connected via WIFI even thos connect thru wire was selected. QUESTION IS : can the DRONE be connected to RC AND RC connected to the PHONE at the same time ? ive read where you can only connect thru one PORT at a time on the RC, yet without the PHONE connected to RC there is no APP control of RC / DRONE

[@KaziologyVlogs]

Dude one simple and most important rule. Never switch the drone on first before the controller and never switch off the controller before the drone

[@BIGDRONEFLYER77RC]

Great job brother, I need to trade off some of these drones I have for a better phone. This stylo3 is garbage. Have a great one brother

[@PhonesAndDrones]

+Big drone flyer77 hey man. Thanks as always. You def should. Haha you do the same man

[@FotosAriel]

I have a smartphone asus zenfone 2 551, is it compatible with this drone? I do not recognize the smart, help me please? Thank you!

[@PhonesAndDrones]

Yes it will

[@FotosAriel]

but I can not connect with my asus zenfone 2, the phone is compatible

[@vinhha6073]

Hello Sir, my Mavic air remote broke, so can I buy new remote.?? And how I pair with it .. please help .. thanks

[@CollosalTrollge]

I turn on my drone and the props turn ; gimbal moves ;.....THEN i am supposed to hear the fan inside spin up and i should hear the sound alarm and i should see the red light flash... BUT i dont. After the Props, Gimbal movement, i get a yellow light , it stays on constant yellow. What can i do here, please I have not looked around and have just left my drone in the bag for 6 months.

[@jamiedoe352]

This video gives me a tiny bit of hope that I can actually connect to my Google pixel 2. Spent the whole day in the shop after buying trying to connect with no luck. I do not get the pop up notification on the screen when plugging the cable into the controller, it just shows the charging symbol in the 🔋 I have tried all the tips and tricks regarding usb debugging and flight mode however nothing changed. Anyone else experiencing this issue. I am still using 8.0 as heard bad things about updating to 9.0!! Please help!

[@marcusstaddon7096]

Jamie Doe hi did u sort out this problem because I am experiencing it to

[@nicksim1]

Just got the Mavic air, and can't seem to get it to pair to my Google pixel 2 xl ... Any advice would be appreciated

[@PhonesAndDrones]

I actually originally paired it with my pixel 2 XL. Are you trying to use the phone is just a controller or in addition to the remote

[@nicksim1]

Phones And Drones I got it to pair with my pixel XL 2 at first and then the firmware updated now when I plug the phone in, it doesn't reconize it

[@PhonesAndDrones]

Try to uninstall and reinstall DJI go 4 app and see if that helps

[@PianoNick]

Maybe a Ryze Tello will be better for you! RTFM!!

[@GabrielPipolo]

Like a piece of cake, thanks!

[@marcusstaddon7096]

When I connect the cable to my phone it just charges my phone it doesn’t communicate.

[@pasangtamang146]

Hello I need a help. I'm with DJI mavic Air now. I on and use the app to but the front two lights are not changing it to green from red. Also in my screen it gives Ready to Go (vision) but not in green colour. I tried so much but never go green. So I'm using the drone to fly without being in green signal. So anyone please help me in this. Thanks a lots. God Bless.

[@camrowdrone6497]

Gimbal cover on when starting up

[@patrickyolanda506]

lolz

[@KenLaesser]

Not a great tutorial - just as confused now as when I started

[@robhill974]

This was a terrible video.Most of the steps you did, was not even visible .Wont come here again

[@krackerrsss]

Thanks for trying, but honestly this video is badly made that it's actually left me feeling angry. Sort you camera angle out man!!

[@aurelios69]

At 2:10 camera cover wasn't removed

[@YasinHasan]

did everything not working 4:48 not getting this notice

[@patriciocornejo3796]

I'm the same problem. not getting the notice. Do you remember how did you do?

[@smiffy5467]

Pairing process is simple.. Its just you who made a hash of it...!!

[@papapgibranhanum6474]

I have a smartphone Xiaomi 4X, (Spec; Android Version 7, RAM 3 GB) is it compatible with this drone? or DJI Mavic Pro.?

[@tmloc79]

Having similar situation. Cant figure out yet.

[@ahmedrafik6724]

it helps me alot , thanks man

[@PhonesAndDrones]

Glad I could help

[@MrMarkas3]

What phone was you using ? I used a Samsung S10 the drone stopped working after 2 years and dji said it was my phone ! Absolutely rubbish customer care, told me by a phone that's compatible or another drone with 5% off !!

[@wilks2006]

Great video. I was researching drones before buying one but kept seeing pixel2xl issues, but seeing as you connected a pixel2 it should be ok.

[@stephenmason5682]

NEVER switch the drone or aircraft First??? Another RC could pair with it??? Always RC then Drone then Mobile!

[@bhacker15gm]

Dude? This 4 real?? Lol If you follow the step by step on the app it takes less then a min. I was laughing so hard when you hooked that 6ft cable to it.

[@ItzkingerproplayS]

Year

[@MrTD123]

Do the video again, you helped me but you did have a misstep . Thank you for getting me connected

[@Andybarney555]

Been flying it weeks. Now took it out in woods. Went to setup. No connection. Wouldnt go past no 3 in that list. No next. Or saying greyed out link device. Phones in rc. Knows it is. Yet does not go blue and allow me past. Without this it a £700 paper weight! Useless. Wtf has happened? All was fine. My trek into woods. With a mate carrying it was a waste of time!! No reason it unlinked. Let alone now wont show up on thd app. Reinstalled tried everything!! Help!!!!

[@gmi917l]

You dont need to connect with controller by cable....

[@PhonesAndDrones]

Yup realized that.

[@ignaciobordafranz]

You don't quit the gimbal protector, be careful

[@terezarasovska8346]

I have problem to link with my phone

[@henryfoster1044]

can not see where connections are taking place

[@0710vanja]

Thank you,very helpfull!

[@JmackJah]

Your camera shot is too narrow! Good info though

[@PhonesAndDrones]

+Marvin Jackson I know man. Sorry. Couldn't find my other lens. Thank you

[@csstechnologies8655]

How not to setup the Air.

[@flightmatadventure6278]

Plug The rc to a drone. Niceee

[@terryandteresa]

Huge mix up folks! It's actually a Spark pro. Not even close to a Mavic!

[@BIGDRONEFLYER77RC]

N'th DEGREE AERIAL PERSPECTIVES agreed

[@TimeLapseCarGuyBruno]

Definitely not easy

[@JohnLee-rz1jc]

Try getting demo in view and focus ! Sausage!

[@casicasigamertrovo9799]

Doesn’t work for me

[@ingwithaz6860]

I hate the connection issues..

[@CarlosMartinez-rk2bt]

You forgot to takeoff the cover on the aircraft

[@jmadratz]

Dude, didn’t you review this before posting, a lot of the important steps are done outside the camera fov, and when you show the connection cable close up its out of focus so it’s not possible to see the cable ends. I’m not even going to say “thanks for trying “ before it’s gets you frustrated just trying to understand what you did. You should remove this video before you get more dislikes than likes.

[@PaddysPubPatron]

Not only is the camera angle garbage on this video, but you didn't bother to edit out the part where you made errors. It's a long video where I can't see anything and ultimately half of it is you making mistakes.

[@thomaswray3911]

you seem more confused than me

[@babybrocute]

perfect ehehe

[@recreation6672]

Lol learn to use first then make video

[@MrMarkas3]

There customer service is shocking

[@agradoville]

Camera work sucks….can’t see a thing you’re doing

[@Diwashkarki555]

So long video

[@craighoughton8461]

Maybe you oughta learn how to do it yourself before making a how to video.

[@sayetka]

Not beneficial or helpful.

[@JeffeyFF]

Lmfao

[@jacquesdemolay2699]

By the way you should re-title your video as: "DJI MAVIC AIR - REMOTE PAIRING - HOW NOT TO"

[@HippieP629]

A. Wow, ppl complain about camera angles, etc. Amazing. You're getting FREE information and still complaining! Unbelievable. The epitomy of a first world problem. smh. B. I tried this tqnq with my OnePlus 5 and even though I get the rc and air synced, the final #4 step in the app doesn't "link with the aircraft". Tried the side cable on the rc per ootb instructs and my usb type c cable (like dji tech support sugg'd). Nothing. I'm thinking it's the android version. I dunno. Paid $$$ for this thing and it's frustrating af. Thoughts anyone?

[@aronnohasnat]

3rd class

[@deputyengineer6507]

Set up your camera first man... or get training before make any video.....

[@sveinolsen3350]

Dont like this video

[@davidschlender587]

82k views x 7 mins = 9,566 man hours wasted. Please take this video down. There are better ones already available.

[@davidschlender587]

Wow, this is such an embarrassment and waste of time. Please either pre-record and edit your mistakes, or practice the process before you record. This is so confusing.

[@GeneMoretti]

Waste of time.
