How should the DJI Mini 5 Pro remote controller be properly set up before flying: The DJI Mini 5 Pro remote controller, whether the DJI RC 2 or the DJI RC-N3, must be properly set up before flight to ensure stable communication with the aircraft. For the DJI RC 2, the user must remove the control sticks from the lower compartments and install them in their corresponding threads. The antennas must then be deployed at an optimal angle for signal transmission, avoiding obstructions or interference during flight. This controller already includes the DJI Fly app installed, so there is no need to connect a mobile phone.

For those using the DJI RC-N3, it is required to place the mobile device in the upper mount, ensuring it is firmly seated and connected using the appropriate cable according to the port type (USB-C or Lightning). On Android devices, a message may appear upon connecting, requesting a connection type. In this case, "Charging Only" should be selected, avoiding other modes that interfere with data communication between the controller and the drone.

Both controllers must have fully charged batteries before flight. DJI recommends turning on the remote controller first, then the aircraft, following the order of pressing and holding the power button. This procedure allows the system to establish an automatic connection and detect the most stable transmission frequency.

After completing the setup, the pilot should check in the DJI Fly app that the connection is active and that the transmission signal level is high. Only after this verification is the DJI Mini 5 Pro considered fully ready to begin its pre-flight calibration.
