Link DJI Mavic Pro Remote Controller with Aircraft

A tutorial in linking your remote controller with the DJI Mavic Pro aircraft.

You may find that from time to time you have an issue with your remote controller syncing with your DJI Mavic Pro. When you receive your quadcopter it should already be synced with the controller. In this tutorial, Heliguy shows you how to successfully link the DJI Mavic Pro Controller with the Mavic aircraft.

How do I know if my remote is linked with the Mavic Pro aircraft?

The main symptom of an unlinked remote controller or mobile device is the flashing yellow light at the back of the craft.

What should I do before attempting to link the remote control to the aircraft?

  1. Ensure that all your devices are fully charged.

  2. Release the small flap on top of the Mavic’s remote controller and ensure the mode is set to RC, not WiFi.

  3. Ensure your mobile device is fully charged.

You shouldn’t need to do anything else in preparation for linking your remote control and the aircraft.

How do I link my Mavic Remote Control and the Mavic Pro aircraft?

Follow the instructions below to link the controller and the aircraft:

  1. Connect the remote controller and the mobile device you’re using with an appropriate USB cable.

  2. Turn on your Remote Control and Aircraft.

  3. Launch the DJI Go app on your mobile device.

  4. Press the blue ‘Camera’ button.

  5. Select the three dots at the top right-hand corner of the screen to open the settings menu.

  6. Then, select the small blue remote control icon on the left-hand side of the menu.

  7. Now select the ‘Linking Remote Controller’ option within the settings menu.

  8. Select whether this is a Master or Slave controller (usually Master) and press OK.

  9. You will now see a ‘Searching for Aircraft Frequency’ prompt appear on the screen.

  10. Now, with a small tool, press the link button on the side of the Mavic, just underneath the flap and above the red LED.

  11. Wait up to 60 seconds until a prompt in the DJI GO app confirms ‘Remote Controller Linked’.

That’s all there is to it! Your Mavic Pro is now linked with your Mavic Remote Control. For more tutorials and guides on the Mavic Pro please check out our Help page.
