We do not officially support the DJI Mavic Air at the moment, which is likely why you are having issues. However, we do intend to support this model once DJI adds SDK support and fixes the image geotagging which is causing the Latitude and Longitude to be inaccurate. Once we add support, our Supported Drones page will be updated.
Hi all, just got my Mavic air drone few days ago. First setup was a breeze and used it for couple flights.
Today I tried to connect directly to my iPhone:
-Turned on aircraft
-Pressed back button until two beeps
-No wifi signal found, tried on 3 different phones. It simply doesn’t show up in the wifi settings.
Alright, I proceeded to connect it back to the RC then:
-Restarted aircraft
-Held back button until one beep, lights flashes
-Started linking procedure from the RC with phone connected
-60s later it timed out.
