Important Note: Before turning on the aircraft always make sure you have removed the gimbal clamp and it's free to move around unobstructed.

1: Firmware and App

Download the latest version of DJI Go to your smart device, you need DJI Go V3.0 onwards to support the Mavic.

The Mavic will be shipped with firmware already installed but this may not be the latest, Its highly recomended that you update your craft before you fly, read the DJI update release notes and understand what the update should do and how to perform it before starting.

The Mavic firmware update is performed via the Go App or DJI Assistant 2 on PC or Mac, the Go App is done wirelessly and you will update both the craft and Remote controller this way, DJI have produced a video showing this process and I have link it on my blog page for the Mavic here
