How To Pair Your Mavic Mini Drone and Controller

[@davidh2386]

So Rick, thanks. You just saved me sending my drone back to DJI. Right in the nice weather too. Got a replacement and it would not bind. PROBLEM SOLVED and I can go fly! Kudos sir.

[@ipw67]

Hi, watched your video, my issue is my mavic mini says rc not connected to mobile. Any suggestions. Thanks

[@ComfyBe]

I acquired a DJI Mavic Mini without the RC, so ordered a replacement remote. My phone isn't compatible with the Fly App, so I used your hardware method. I was able to bind the RC to the Drone. BUT: although the two now connect (the RC's power led lights are solid), the light on the drone flashes between Green and Red constantly. Would you know what the problem could be? Edit: Even with the flashing red, I was able to start props, take-off and hover and control drone. Sometimes the green light was flashing normally and sometimes the red light was also on. I'm a newbie, and I suppose I should watch some videos and get a compatible phone to run the DJI Fly App so I can figure out all the in and outs. Thanks Rick for getting me started, so I subbed. 😉

[@Kikouteiro]

Thank for your video. Is it necessary a celukar for the first pairing?

[@WorldwideSpotlight]

Power on, hold 12 seconds untill you hear the BEEP on both devices and it WORKED 🙏🏿 🙏🏿 🙏🏿 🙏🏿 🙏🏿 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Dronevalley]

Thanks for the post and I did figure this out as well after I posted this clip. I often get this gear early, before manuals a details are firm and I was doing my best to test it out without having the full feature set. I do appreciate you posting and hope you'll stop back for more clips I'll be uploading this week. Rick

[@viper627]

Thanks so much it worked great mine didn’t pair when I got it and I was pissed then I found this and it worked yay! Lol

[@organixgirl]

The controller or drone?

[@marklucijslapsak6766]

Was the mavic mini powered up before you connected the mini and the controler?

[@actionjackson9195]

I have a mini Mavic 3 with the controller that you have to attach my phone to. I use for work and it’s sort of a pain in the butt to set. Is there a different controller that would also be compatible which doesn’t require attaching the phone?

[@VitalArms]

Question, my friend gave me his mavic mini ultralight that he lost or broke the remote to I forgot. Will it work if I buy a remote and bind it? Or do I need him to give me his login/or change his login settings?

[@haroldfullwood6063]

Do you have to set the compass before you fly dji mini

[@timzlow]

Very useful information. I would like to mod my RC, however, I would hate to do it on my RC that comes with my set. If I buy a used RC and bind it with my Mavic mini, does it means it'll unbind my original RC..? Thanks...

[@yannikabdula7613]

Hi Please can you help me, I bought the new MAVIC MINI, i upgrade for the lastest firmware version 01.00.0400, in the controller and drone. And I tried to take-off for the first time with the Controller remote without DJI app or phone attached just for test. But unfortunately the propeller won't work with quick take off stick mode. How can I fix it? Thanks in advance

[@xyzyyz]

Hi Rick. My Mini just came in. How do you charge the controller?

[@chrismarkham5792]

What phone do you prefer with the mini and have you tried both Android and Apple to see if there is any difference in operation ?

[@mecatx]

Great videos. Cannot find the app. Is is not available yet, and how to download it and when will it be available Thank you.

@@Dronevalley Thank you for the quick reply

[@bob14072]

Do you need to unbind before you bind? The reason I'm asking is because the video won't stream to my phone. The camera is fine and records but I can't see it as it's recording or just flying at all. I've seen other places that if you bind the mavic mini to the controller it should fix the problem.

[@emanuelcalderon]

Can you pair the old remote with the mavic mini2s or the mavic 2 mini s remote?

[@Pindi44]

Can you pair 2 controllers to the same drone? My controller battery lasts only 1 hour, so I thought a second charged controller would extend my flying time with 3 drone batteries.

[@RichardMcCarthy]

Hi,I Just Purchased The Mavic Mini Fly More Combo And I Charged The Batteries And Controller,I Was Curious If The MinI Will Start Without Firmware Updates? Reason Why I Ask Is Because Im Waiting On My New Phone So I Took It Outside To See What Would Happen And The Gimbal Moves Up And Down Just Fine But It Wont Start.Was Wondering If This Is Normal Until I Update.

[@PhillyDroneLife]

Thanks Rick. I'm looking forward to getting mine on the 11th. I'm curious if since you've had the drone if it lost binding at anytime? Thx buddy Michael

[@Dronevalley]

Mike, I haven't lost binding but wanted to get this posted so folks knew how to do it in case they had issues. It's buried in the manual but easy to miss and I wanted to have it posted as a reference. I also had a few questions come in about binding the quad and I think that was from folks flying the smaller quads where you have to bind the controller with every flight. I'm trying to get all the new fliers ready for their Mavic Mini's showing up next wee. Thanks for the post! Rick

[@Pindi44]

Thanks a lot Rick, these mini-tutorials of yours are really helpful. If the RC and drone get unbound do I see an error message?

[@Dronevalley]

Nope, there won't be any messages other than you losing connection with your drone. The good news if that happens, the drone will start a RTH and the drone should fly back and land where it too off.

[@m118lr]

Thanks Rick..waaaay late after the fact, but I DID just receive the A2S combo pkg 2 days ago. I KNOW now they’re paired from the factory but prior to receiving ‘them’ I wasn’t sure AND I knew that with DJI’s “Fly-Away” coverage AND REPLACEMENT they needed/ HAD to be binded. ‘Course I’ve already flown a couple times and all’s good. Thanks again…

[@ripplevlogs]

Did the sale start outside America

[@Dronevalley]

You can actually purchase the new Mavic Mini now but the shipments are delayed a bit due to the number of folks buying the quad. Thanks for the post.

[@2gocamp]

I ordered the Mini. It's my first drone, I've never flown one. I heard someone talk about geofence or something like that. Is this a feature that stops the drone from flying if it's too close to an airport? If so, does the Mini have this? Thanks.

[@redhamish]

Thank you, exactly the help I needed. Worked first time❤️

[@mikepowell1616]

can you run the app on a ipad mini? if so can you use the full screen? seems to show a condensed screen when I tried? also can I get a cable that is long enough to connect ipad mini to the controller? Can I increase screen size on my ipad mini? to take full advantage of a larger screen? Thanks for your videos.

[@pedzsan]

As far as software compatibility, any iOS (since you asked about iPad mini) device will work. But, the way the controller holds the phone will be the issue. I have other drones so I already had other things to help out. They may be out of your budget. 1) MavMount -- which is a piece of aluminum roughly the size and shape of a phone. 2) A holder for the MavMount -- you can buy kits at their web site. 3) Probably need a longer cable as well. I bought a micro USB to Lightning cable from Amazon. I got one that is "fiber" coated as well as with 90˚ bends on the connectors. I would paste links to these but I think if I do my reply will not get posted. ... at least that's the gossip I've heard.

[@pedzsan]

Also... I have used an iPad Mini 2 (its old) and there is a 2x button in the lower right corner of the screen ... maybe that's what you need to hit to get full screen?

[@thomasvoigt1050]

Thanks a lot for the Video. It just happened the same to me. The Drone does not connect to my Android Galaxy A72. I tried serveral times after watching your video and many more, but the connection does not happened, nore the binding. What else can I do?

[@Dronevalley]

Thomas, thanks for the post and I would suggest doing the binding in stages. You don't actually need a phone connected to bind the quad and the controller so I would start there. Power both of them up and wait about 30 seconds. Then push and hold the power button on the controller until you hear a beep. The do the same on the drone until you hear a beep and they will start searching for each other. When they finally bind after about 10-15 seconds you'll hear a double beep to know they're connected. You can then connect your phone and start flying. Give that a try and let me know how you make out. Rick

[@thomasvoigt1050]

@@Dronevalley thank you Rick. I tried this about 3 times. No result. I must add that the drone flew with the RC perfectly. After a change of the propeller, 30 min later I try to fly.....and the problem started. I dont know whst else could it be. The drone is new, 1 month, came with RC.

[@Dronevalley]

@@thomasvoigt1050 Those details help a little but it's still something strange going on with the connection. If you can open the DJI Fly app and it connects to the controller, check to see if the firmware is asking for an update. If it needs one, do the update and try pairing the drone again. If you have more than one battery, try all of them in the drone one at a time to see if the pairing works. I know that sounds strange but the batteries have firmware in them as well that has to match up with the drone and controller and can sometimes get out of sync. You might find one battery that works and then you can update the firmware on the others. Let me know how you make out and if none of these tricks work you might have to replace the set through DJI.

[@thomasvoigt1050]

@@Dronevalley Hey Rick. I did all this steps. True its super strange. This is a new set of drone and controler. It flew 3 times perfectly.

Thanks Rick! Just got my mini back from DJI (due to a crash) and needed this information! Perfect tutorial!

[@tjcben1]

I thought the wifi is generated by the controller to bind the drone. Is it finding a signal or generating its own. Because how would it work in remote locations? New to this and just asking.

[@Dronevalley]

No worries. The Wifi is just the transmission standard that the controller and the drone use to communicate. It's a private connection between them and doesn't require any internet connection to work. Sorry for any confusion. Rick

[@thanser74]

I have a remote from a Mavic Mini I want to use on the Mavic Mini SE, but they dont pair. Am I doing something wrong or is there incompatibility?

[@xyzyyz]

Awesome info as usual. If your recording video can you shoot a still during your video with the fly app.

[@Dronevalley]

William thanks for the kind words. Unfortunately it's either video or pictures but you do have buttons on the controller to easily switch between them. The recording does stop when you take a picture and you'll have to start it again.

[@JeremySmithOfNewScotland]

I film my videos on my Mavic air, was thinking about buying the mini for those gray area shots by people and other places I can’t fly the air. Any idea if I could bind my air control to the mini? I heard they look the same abs both use wifi.

[@karstenkrongaard9054]

Thank you Rick, for the super informative content! I'm looking to get myself my first drone, and the DJI Mini is most likely the one for me. Seems like the perfect beginner drone. My question is: Do you put your phone on Flightmode when using it with the controller, to block off any incoming calls, or messages? Or does that matter at all?

[@eagleeyeviewimages]

I always put mine on flight mode. I have mavic pro and if I don't use flight mode I get bad interference.

[@Dronevalley]

Karsten, thanks for the post and I do use "airplane" mode when flying to avoid the hassle of calls coming in when flying. A call won't interrupt the program from flying your drone but it does force you to take your eyes off the drone to decline it. I also agree with the other comment that having your Wifi active on the phone can cause interference with the signal from the controller and it drains your phones battery faster. Thanks for the question and be sure to stop back soon. Rick

[@eagleeyeviewimages]

When I have left wifi on by accident, I get half the distance.

[@Dronevalley]

@@eagleeyeviewimages I agree and with some of the quads the interference is less than with others. The ones you'll notice it more with are the Spark and the Mavic Air. I use a dedicated cable with the Spark to eliminate the issue but always try and drop into Airplane mode when flying to be safe.

[@brfop]

I need to return my mini for refresh/replacement after a crash. The instructions say that I need to unbind the controller before returning it, but can’t seem to find a way to do it. Any ideas about how this done?

[@Dronevalley]

Bruce, there's no official way to "unbind" the controller but here's a trick you can use. Leave your controller powered off and power up the quad like you normally do. When it's completed it's power-on sequence, hold the power button down for about 10-15 seconds and you'll hear it start beeping. This means that it's started it search for the controller and will technically be "unbound" at this point. Now you can power it off and you're all set to send it back to them. I hope that helps and next time be sure to avoid that tree :)

[@Dronevalley]

Jane, thanks for the post and you do have to use the cable to make the connection. The reason you don't need the cable with the Spark is that the connection between your phone or tablet and the Sparks's controller is done through Wifi. It's a little complicated but the Spark was unique and used 2 different Wifi connections, one from the phone/tablet to the controller and a second connection between the controller and the drone. With the new Mavic Mini, the connection between your phone/tablet is done with the wired connection.

Yes, I went thru all the steps got all the beeps but it still wouldn't pair. I tried the tip about removing the SD card and bingo it paired!

[@jenniferravolet9852]

Hi, I am trying to pair the drone and the remote and tried those both ways but the aircraft does the beeping sound but the light stays red, it never blink and never connect. I tried to update the firmware by using the Assistant App but it won't even read the drone. I just bought it and can not return it because I was in a foreign country, at the airport. Thank you!

I am having the same issue.

[@tktwilson2k]

Same Issue.

[@jenniferravolet9852]

@single70s I fixed mine. I bought it in Asia, in Taiwan to be exact and apparently drone from Asia needs to be updated right away. Do an update on both the remote and the drone. I had to use the DJI assistant software to do so and with a PC, couldn't do it with my Mac. I hope this helps!

[@jenniferravolet9852]

@@tktwilson2k Check above how I fixed mine.

Can I bind the Mavic Mini to my other Mavic 2 controller?

[@axgrf]

MrPlaneTalk No you cant.

Hey thank you so much for your knowledge. Just bought the new Mavic Air and had this issue. Thank you so much!!

[@Dronevalley]

Joe, I'm glad that the clip helped and I hope you enjoy the Mavic Air. It's a great quad and you're going to have a lot of fun flying it. Consider subbing my channel as I'll have a lot more content posting this week. Rick

Do you need WiFi to fly and can you use cellular data?

[@Dronevalley]

You don't need any wifi connections to the internet and you can fly without a cellular connection as well. The only reason you'd need to connect to the internet is if you wanted to use the detailed maps. The application has the basic maps loaded but if you want better detail you'll need cellular or Wifi when flying. I use an iPad Mini with mine that doesn't have any cellular connection on it. Thanks for the post. Rick

Drone Valley Thanks

[@AI.0116]

Drone Valley can you show how to set up with iPad mini? Need to use longer data cable?

[@kawidelrosario291]

Hi! my question is i set my distance on my drone to no limit but my drone only fly to 324feet and stop its not moving forward why?

[@Dronevalley]

Erwin, thanks for the post and setting the height restriction shouldn't affect the distance away you can fly. Make sure you're not trying to fly in restricted airspace as that may be what's limiting your flight. Also, try taking it to another location to see if things change. That will help you determine if it's the drone or the location causing the issue. Rick

[@kawidelrosario291]

Drone Valley Rick thanks I will try to go to different locations and see what will happened.. have nice day

[@laspiedras0179]

Hi there. I'm sill unable to connect my drone to the control. I follow your steps but nothing.

[@starttofinishpodcasting3721]

Is the Google Pixel 3a compatible with the DJI fly App and Mavic Mini? I need to know before making this purchase. The recommended phones list the Pixel 4，Pixel 3 XL Pixel 2XL，Pixel 2，and Pixel but nothing about the Pixel 3a. These are recommendations and I am not sure if these are the only compatible phone that will work with the DJI Fly App. Can someone tell me? Anyone flying the Mavic Mini with a Google Pixel 3a?
