Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if my DJI Remote Controller (RC) is not connecting to the drone?

If your RC isn’t connecting, first update the firmware on both the RC and the drone using DJI Assistant 2 or the DJI Fly app to ensure compatibility. Then, re-link the RC by powering on the drone, pressing the linking button, and following prompts on the DJI Fly app. Also, keep the devices within 10 meters during pairing. If the problem continues, professional diagnostics at Everse stores in Bangalore, Delhi, or Mumbai can help resolve the issue using genuine parts.

How can I fix signal interference or weak signal warnings on my DJI RC?

Signal interference usually comes from Wi-Fi networks, power lines, or urban infrastructure. Try switching between 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz frequencies in the DJI Fly app to find a clearer channel. Fly in open areas away from cell towers or metal structures, and maintain a clear line of sight to the drone. Using a signal booster, available at Everse, can also improve transmission range, especially for models like DJI Mavic 4 Pro and Air 3S which use OcuSync 4.0 technology.

Why does my DJI RC screen lag or go black, and how can I fix it?

Screen lag or blackouts on RCs with built-in displays are often caused by overheating, app crashes, or outdated firmware. To fix this, close any unused apps on the RC, avoid direct sunlight during use, restart the RC, and update its firmware via the DJI Fly app. For persistent screen problems, Everse offers expert repair services in Bangalore and Delhi, particularly for DJI RC Pro models.

What causes the "Gimbal Disconnected" warning and how do I troubleshoot it?

The warning typically results from a loose gimbal ribbon cable, firmware glitches, or physical damage. Power off the drone and check the gimbal cable connections for security. Update the firmware on both drone and RC to the latest versions. You can also perform a gimbal calibration in the DJI Fly app under “Settings > Control > Gimbal Calibration.” For repairs, Everse’s centers in Pune and Kolkata provide professional service with warranty.

How do I properly calibrate my DJI drone’s compass to avoid calibration errors?

Compass errors are usually caused by magnetic interference from nearby metal objects or electronics. To calibrate properly, move your drone to an open field away from cars, metal structures, and power lines—common in cities like Mumbai or Delhi. Use the DJI Fly app to recalibrate under “Settings > Safety > Compass Calibration.” Avoid indoor flights unless using indoor-friendly drones like the DJI Neo. Everse offers free calibration guidance at their Hyderabad and Bangalore stores to ensure safe and accurate navigation.
