Here’s the DJI Mini 4 Pro, still in its sleek, sealed packaging. The anticipation is real!

First, let’s cut open the seal carefully and lift the lid.

Ah, look at that! Right on top, we have the drone itself, neatly nestled in its protective casing.

Here’s the star of the show, the DJI Mini 4 Pro. It’s compact, lightweight, and ready for adventure.

Next, we have the controller. It’s ergonomic and designed for seamless control. Along with it, you’ll find the essential accessories.

Here’s a quick rundown of what’s included: the charging hub, extra propellers, USB cables, and the user manual.

Let’s lay everything out so you can see the full setup.

The charging hub will keep your batteries juiced up, the extra propellers are always handy, and the USB cables ensure you stay connected. Don’t forget to read through the user manual for detailed instructions.

And there you have it! Your DJI Mini 4 Pro is ready to take to the skies. In the next part, we’ll go through the initial setup and get you ready for your first flight.

Properly setting up the DJI drone’s obstacle avoidance system adds an extra layer of safety to your flights. To set up obstacle avoidance on a DJI drone, follow these steps to access and configure the settings.

1. Power On the Drone and Controller: Turn on your DJI drone and remote controller. Ensure the two devices are connected.
2. Open the DJI Fly App: Once your drone is connected, open the DJI Fly app on your mobile device.
3. Access the Safety Settings:
   1. In the main app interface, tap on the three dots (…) in the upper-right corner to open the Settings menu.
   1. Select the Safety tab, where you’ll find the obstacle avoidance settings.
4. Enable Obstacle Detection:
   1. Under Obstacle Avoidance, ensure that Obstacle Detection is turned on. This activates sensors to detect obstacles in front, behind, or on the sides (depending on your model).
5. Select Obstacle Avoidance Action:
   1. In the same menu, locate Obstacle Avoidance Action. You’ll typically see three options:
      1. Bypass: The drone will automatically go around obstacles it detects.
      1. Brake: The drone will stop in place when it encounters an obstacle.
      1. Off: The drone will not take any avoidance action and will continue flying regardless of obstacles.
6. Enable Advanced Pilot Assistance Systems (APAS) (if available):
   1. Some DJI models offer an APAS (Advanced Pilot Assistance System) option that allows the drone to navigate around obstacles more smoothly. Turn on APAS to enhance obstacle avoidance capabilities.
7. Adjust Flight Speed for Safer Navigation (optional):
   1. In the Control settings, consider setting a slower speed under Max Flight Speed. This helps the sensors detect and react to obstacles more effectively.
8. Test the Settings:
   1. When you’re ready, conduct a test flight in an open area to confirm that the obstacle avoidance settings are working as expected.

Configuring Return to Home (RTH) settings on your DJI drone ensures that it safely returns to you if it loses connection, encounters low battery, or if you initiate RTH manually. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

1. Turn on Your Drone and Remote Controller

• Power on both your DJI drone and the remote controller.
• Open the DJI Fly or DJI GO 4 app on your mobile device and connect to the drone.

2. Access the Main Settings

• In the app’s main interface, tap on the three-dot menu (often in the top right corner).
• This will open the main settings menu, where you can adjust various flight options.

3. Go to Safety Settings

• In the settings menu, navigate to the Safety tab.
• Under Safety, you’ll see options for Return to Home (RTH) settings.

4. Set the Home Point

• You’ll find an option to Set Home Point in the RTH settings.
• Choose one of the following options:
  • Aircraft Location: The drone will return to the location where it took off.
  • Remote Controller Location: The drone will return to the location of the remote controller. This is useful if you plan to move while the drone is in the air.

5. Adjust RTH Altitude

• Locate the Return-to-Home Altitude setting in the same menu.
• Set the altitude high enough to clear any obstacles (e.g., trees, buildings) in your flight area.
  • Recommendation: 30–50 meters (100–165 feet) for urban or forested areas, but adjust this based on the height of nearby obstacles.

6. Set Advanced RTH Options (Optional)

• Obstacle Avoidance: Some DJI drones allow you to enable or disable obstacle avoidance during RTH.
  • Toggle this on to help the drone avoid obstacles on its way back.
• Landing Protection: Some drones can sense the ground during RTH and avoid landing in unsuitable spots. Enable this if available.

7. Save Settings

• Once you’ve configured your RTH settings, exit the menu to save them.
• Your drone will now use these settings whenever RTH is triggered.

8. Test the RTH Settings (Optional but Recommended)

• Take the drone to a safe open area, fly it a short distance away, and manually activate RTH by pressing the RTH button on the remote controller or in the app.
• Observe the drone’s return behavior to ensure it ascends to the set RTH altitude and follows the configured settings.
• You have two ways to operate the RHT. One is using controller button. Two is using DJI App.

By setting up RTH carefully, you’ll have greater peace of mind knowing the drone can return safely even if it encounters an issue mid-flight.
