![]() A lot of people expect batteries to be charged when they first receive the drone. This might seem obvious, but it’s more common than you might think. Make sure your batteries are fully charged If your drone doesn’t turn on, it’s won’t connect to the controller or app, there’s no camera footage, etc, then there are three reasons that might be causing this. INSIDER TIP: When calibrating a drone, make sure you remove all jewelry and watches. Video can’t be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: How to Calibrate The Compass of ALL DJI Drones! () Here’s a video to help you calibrate a DJI drone. What happens sometimes is when you try to fly your drone in a new location, it throws off your drone’s compass. However, it’s definitely worth checking over this again, especially if you’re flying your drone in a new location. Most smart drones should automatically calibrate the compass. Have you calibrated your drone’s compass? While the warming up process generally shouldn’t take too long, it could take a lot longer in colder climates. So check your controller or app to see if this message is showing up. Most drones like with the Phantom will give you a message that specifically says that the “drone is still warming up.” The map even has realtime updates that give you information about wildfires, large event gatherings and even national security events. They have an awesome mapping tool that allows you to see if there are any geo-fences or banned drone flight zones in your area. So how can you find out if geo-fencing is your issue? Example of Some of these areas can include, but is not limited to: These are set areas that are either sensitive, or you’re legally not allowed to fly in according to FAA drone laws. Most drone companies program geo-fencing areas within the drone’s software. If this isn’t the issue, then it could be a geo-fence problem. If you’re registered, give the registration process at least a day to take effect.Make sure your drone is registered in the country or state you’re trying to fly it in.Is your drone registered in the country/county you’re trying to fly?Īnother common issue is that people either travel somewhere and forget to register their drones, or, they try to fly their drones too early after registration. Make sure your propellers are on tight enough by tightening the locknuts.What usually happens here is because the lock nuts aren’t tight enough, which causes the propellers to slip on the motor shaft. There are five common mistakes that could be causing this. So your drone’s battery is connected, you’re getting a live stream and the drone is lighting up, you’ve not crashed recently, propellers might even be spinning but it just can’t seem to lift off from the ground. Scenario 02: Drone is on, and connected, but won’t take off from the ground If that didn’t work for you, here is the second biggest issue we see with drones today. Seems simple? Because it is! This issue has baffled thousands of newbies, and you can literally fix it in a few minutes. Your drone should now be able to fly without any problems. For example, if the left side of your drone stays on the ground while trying to take off, swop those two propellers around with each other. SWOP PROPELLERS THAT STAY ON GROUND: Swop the two propellers that stay on the ground.GENTLY LIFT OFF DRONE: Try to lift off and see which side of your drone stays on the ground. ![]() Video can’t be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: Why the Drone is not taking off (Leans to one side) () Scenario 01: Drone Takes off but leans to one side, and almost flips overĭoes this scenario sound familiar? If yes then chances are your propellers aren’t on the right motor. However, in most cases, the same solution can be applied to all types of drones.īased on my research I’ve found that the propeller placement is the BIGGEST reason why most DJI drones won’t take off. Such as the Phantom, Spark, Mavic pro etc. Most of the troubleshooting below was done on DJI drones. So go through each subheading and find which situation relates to your problem the best. Now, this is only one out of a dozen potential reasons why your drone might now be taking off. Go to the first subheading to learn how to fix this. If your drone propellers are spinning, and the drone attempts to take off, leans to one side and almost flips over, the most common reason why your drone might not be taking off is because the propellers ARE NOT on the right motor. ![]() ![]() The biggest problem of all? My drone wouldn’t take off! Here’s why: When I got my first drone I had a TON of problems that I had to fix. ![]()
