News, deep dives, and analysis — every DJI Fly App story, newest first.
The DJI Fly app flies almost every current DJI consumer drone, and it is where far more of your image quality gets decided than most pilots realise. This hub collects our tutorials and setting guides for it.
The single most useful thing in the app is the one most people never open: DJI’s built-in simulator is the best free way to practise before your first real flight, and it is already installed. If you have just unboxed a drone, the beginner’s guide to flying and our how to start flying drones guide are the right order of operations.
Two things reliably trip people up. Pairing is the first: pairing goggles and controllers is not difficult but it is unintuitive. Getting your footage out is the second — transferring and editing on mobile has a path that makes sense once someone shows it to you.
For settings that change what you actually capture, the Mini 5 Pro hidden features guide is the most useful thing we have written, and it generalises across the range. Firmware releases that change app behaviour are tracked on the firmware desk. Every DJI Fly story lands in the feed below.

Good day folks, Shawn here from Air Photography. This is my beginner’s guide for the brand new Lito drone from DJI — both the standard Lito and the Lito X1. When new drones like this get released, I like to create beginner’s guides for those who are brand new to drones to help get them…
Let’s get one thing out of the way immediately: the DJI Flip is not a pretty drone. It looks like someone strapped a camera to a tiny bicycle and called it a day. I’ve stared at it from multiple angles hoping it would grow on me, and it hasn’t. But here’s the thing — it…
Good day, folks. Shawn here from Air Photography. In today’s video, we’re taking a look at the DJI simulator that’s built right into the DJI Fly app. The reason I’m making this video is that the other day I got an email from a viewer asking if I could recommend a good simulator. They had…
Good day folks. Shawn here from Air Photography. Just a video for you. I'm going to demonstrate how to pair goggles to the new DJI Avata 360.
Today's video is a bit of a tutorial on how to transfer and edit the footage that you've captured on your DJI Avata 360. Some people are a little...
The DJI Neo 2 ships with three preset tracking distances in follow mode, and most pilots never go beyond them. A new tutorial from Stewart Caroll of Drone Film Guide shows there is a way to override those limits using nothing but a phone — no controller required — by combining Spotlight mode with the…
The DJI Mini 5 Pro has one well-known limitation: it doesn’t work with FPV goggles. For pilots who bought the Mini 5 Pro expecting an immersive flying experience, that’s a frustrating wall to hit. A new video from the YouTube channel Just a Tech Guy may have found a way around it, using $249 AR…
One of the standout features of the DJI Neo 2 is the ability to embed audio directly into your video using your smartphone and the DJI Fly app. In this guide, I’ll walk you through how to set it up, the different noise reduction modes, and several ways to improve your audio quality for vlogging…
Use the simulator built into DJI's app. It is free, it is already installed, and it is the best way to make your early mistakes somewhere they cost nothing.
Far fewer than the menus suggest, and the defaults are conservative. The settings that change your footage most are the ones controlling exposure and colour profile, not the ones people usually go hunting for.
Through the app, and it is more straightforward than it looks once you know the path — though the workflow differs between drone and camera products, which is where most confusion comes from.
One email with the drone news that matters — DJI, FAA, public safety, and everything in between, straight from the newsroom. No spam, no fluff.
