Using DJI Go with your Drone
There are two apps DJI Go and DJI Go 4. DJI Go 4 is used to connect to Phantom 4 and newer drones like the Mavic Pro. The original DJI Go is needed to connect to Phantom 3 Advanced and Professional.
You should follow the sequence to connect to the drone as follows: 1. Connect the phone or tablet with the DJI Go app installed to the remote controller (RC) and unlock your screen; 2. Start the remote controller; 3. Then start the drone; 4. You should be prompted to connect to the drone with the apps you installed for the drone such as: DJI Go, DJI Go 4 or DroneDeploy. Select DJI Go 4 for the Mavic Pro and DJI Go for the Phantom 3.
Your phone will start the DJI Go app.
The first time you connect with the app it will prompt you to authorize access as shown.
If everything is good you will see the prompt to Go Fly. If you do not see this then there was a problem with your connection, or connections sequence. Press Go Fly.
You will be given your aircraft or drone status as above. If you need new firmware you will be prompted to install. Similarly if you need to calibrate your Compass and IMU you will also be told to do so. The Position flight mode means you are set to P and GPS will be used to control your drone.
Scrolling down you should see Remote Controller Mode set to Mode 2. This is the standard setting for flying do not change this unless you know what you are doing. Mode 2 means joystick left is the throttle (accelerator) and left and right, joystick right forward and back and sideways flight.

As you scroll down more you get additional information on the drone aircraft.
Finally at the bottom of the menu on Aircraft Status you can format your microSD card directly via the controller.
When you exit the Aircraft Status menu you get into the main DJI Go screen. The top row shows that you are ready to fly by Vision (not GPS), drone battery 100%. On the right side are the settings for the camera. On the lower left is a map, the blue dot is your drone location.
