Warning

1. Ensure your ight area is safe before each ight.

2. Be sure to maintain a visual line of sight (VLOS) to your aircraft at all times.

3. The aircraft will continue its mission or exit it according to the settings but only if remote controller signal is lost or disconnected during a mission.

Go to > Advanced Settings to enable or disable “Exit Mission When Signal Lost” (disabled

by default). If disabled, the aircraft will continue the mission, meaning Failsafe will not be

triggered. If enabled, the aircraft will pause the mission and record a breakpoint. Then it will

perform as the setting in “Remote Controller Signal Lost” in the DJI GO can resume the mission after the signal recovers.

4. When the GNSS signal is strong, if the RTH button is pressed and held during a mission, the aircraft will stop the mission immediately and begin RTH. The mission cannot be continued and will need to be restarted.

5. When the battery level or voltage is low during mission, the DJI GS Pro will prompt a Low Battery Level Warning, and the aircraft will pause the mission and begin RTH or landing. The mission can be continued after replacing battery. The low battery threshold is the value pre-set in DJI GO / DJI GO 4 app.

6. Enabling iPad sound is strongly recommended to avoid missing important hints and warnings

that help ensure a safe ight.

7. Aircraft with obstacle avoidance will have this capability enabled by default in DJI GS Pro to

ensure ight safety. Check that the Sensing System is operational in the current surroundings. If it is not, disable it in the “Prepare for Flight” checklist, or the mission will not be able to start.

8. All of the altitude values in DJI GS Pro are relative to the altitude of the take-off point. In the same mission, the altitude above sea level for the same point during the mission will vary if taking off at

different altitudes.

Introduction

DJI GS Pro (also known as Ground Station Pro) is an iPad app designed for industrial applications

including but not limited to, aerial imaging, architecture, precision agriculture, electrical inspections, search and rescue, safety control, and more. It provides easy mission planning through different methods such as tapping on the map, setting points using the aircraft, or importing files, and automated aircraft control during the planned mission. DJI GS Pro is compatible with the iPad

product line and many DJI aircraft, ight controllers, cameras and accessories*.

DJI GS Pro of v2.0 or above supports individual and team aircraft operations. Additionally, the

subscription feature allows for ight, team, and project data to be backed up on the Cloud server.

Download DJI GS Pro

Search for “DJI GS Pro” on the App Store, and install the app on your iPad.

DJI GS Pro is supported on iOS 9.2 (or later). First-time use requires an internet connection for activation.

Your DJI devices can be activated in DJI GS Pro instead of DJI GO / DJI GO 4 app.

Connect the Aircraft

Connect the aircraft to DJI GS Pro as if using the DJI GO / DJI GO 4 app.

* Support for DJI devices will be added as testing and development continues. Visit the DJI GS Pro product page

on dji.com for a complete list. http://www.dji.com/ground-station-pro

Mission Type

PhotoMap

DJI GS Pro automatically generates efficient flight paths after the user has set

their required ight area and camera parameters. The aircraft will then follow this route to complete its aerial photography tasks. The user can then import photos directly into DJI GS Pro, and a photomap can be composited* automatically in

the app, providing a reference for information for other missions. Users can also manually calibrate the composite result to reconstruct the actual environment more accurately.

Virtual Fence

A virtual fence denes a specic area of ight and is useful in scenarios where some areas of a site are no-y zones or if ight should only happen within one area, such as during manual pesticide spraying or ight training. As the aircraft

approaches the boundaries of the virtual fence it will slow to a hover, ensuring it

stays within the ight area.

3D Map

3D Map Area: DJI GS Pro automatically generates efcient ight paths after the

user has set their required ight area and camera parameters. The aircraft will

then follow this route throughout its mission. The image data captured during

these ights can be input into 3D reconstruction software to generate 3D maps.

3D Map POI**: 3D Map POI excels at gathering critical data from physical structures. Its parameter settings are similar to 3D Map Area, such as flight area and action, parameters, and overlap ratio. With new customizable features

like Circle and Vertical, 3D Map POI provides complete accuracy for effective

structural management.

Waypoint Flight

Set a waypoint ight path, dene waypoint actions then start ying with a tap.

* PhotoMap composite is a premium feature. By creating this type of mission, aerial photography and importing

photos to DJI GS Pro will be enabled. Each account comes with ve free trials to composite a photomap using aerial images. Please make a purchase via the prompt page for follow-up use and refer to the description in the

app for details.

**3D Map POI is a premium feature. Creating and editing this type of mission is permitted but performance is

disabled when left unpaid. Please make a purchase via the prompt page when starting a new mission. Please

refer to the description in the app for details.

Safety Instructions

Please pay careful attention when ying and shooting in 3D Map POI. Vertical and Circle (below)

are the two modes in Flight Course Mode settings.

1. In Circle and Vertical mode, the aircraft will y in a straight path between waypoints, although the

actual distance between the aircraft and the structure may sometimes be shorter than the preset

ight radius. During Capture at Equal Distance/Time Interval mode, the aircraft will y along a

parabola and the distance to the shooting target may be longer than the preset radius, so please

make sure the surrounding area is open and large enough to avoid collision risks. To ensure ight safety, operators on the ground should move along with the aircraft to maintain line of sight as the aircraft ies around the structure.

2. In Vertical mode, the aircraft will y up and down many times at a relatively low speed (1~4 m/

s, although speed varies from different aircraft modes), which will lead to a longer shooting time and faster consumption of the battery level.

3. When resuming operations in Circle or Vertical mode, the aircraft will rst ascend directly to a height equal to the previous waypoint, than y towards it. To avoid collision risks, be sure there

are no ceilings or buildings above the aircraft.

Pre-flight Checklist

Choose a mission in the mission list, tap “Edit” then tap “Prepare for Flight” in the top right corner of

the screen. Check and adjust the aircraft according to the checklist that appears until all items are green, indicating that takeoff is permitted. Items in yellow require adjustment but the aircraft can take off without doing so. Only ying when all items are green is highly recommended.

Start to Fly

Tap “Start to y” at the bottom of the checklist when ready. An aircraft’s actions will vary depending

on its mission. The Aircraft Status Bar will show the current aircraft status, mission progress, etc.

Please enter the fence

Virtual Fence

After starting, if the aircraft’s latitude, longitude or altitude is outside of the fence boundaries, there will be visual and audio prompts on the iPad. The Virtual Fence will be disabled at this time and the

aircraft can be own freely. The Virtual Fence will be automatically enabled when the aircraft enters

fence boundaries. Once inside, if the aircraft approaches the boundaries of the fence, it will slow to a hover and audio prompts will sound from the iPad.

PhotoMap / 3D Map / Waypoint Flight

After starting, the aircraft will y to the start point automatically. In 3D Map POI, the altitude of the

start point will be the preset maximum altitude.

DJI GS PRO

User Manual

Pause Mission

During PhotoMap, 3D Map or Waypoint Flight missions, tap the “Pause Mission” button on the top right corner of the screen to pause the mission. The aircraft will hover in place and record the last

performed waypoint. The aircraft can then be own freely and a menu will pop up with additional

control options.

Resume from Last Stopped Point: The aircraft will continue the mission from the point where recording stopped.

Start Over: The aircraft will y to the start point and restart the mission.

Cancel Current Mission: The aircraft will stop and exit from the current mission. The mission cannot be continued.

Back to Mission List: Back to the mission list. To check this menu again, select the required mission

and tap edit then tap “Resume Mission”.

Special Cases

1. During a Virtual Fence mission, if the aircraft ies out of the fence due to external forces i.e.

strong wind, a prompt will appear in the Aircraft Status Bar, an audio prompt will sound from the iPad, and the fence will be disabled. Users must stop the mission and restart it.

2. During a Virtual Fence mission if the ight mode switch on the remote controller is toggled, the

fence will be disabled immediately. The aircraft will stop and exit from the current mission, a prompt will appear in the Aircraft Status Bar, and an audio prompt will sound from the iPad.

3. During any mission, the aircraft will exit from its mission and enter a normal flight mode if

positioning is not available due to a weak GNSS signal. Users can choose to continue the

mission if the signal is strong. When continuing, the aircraft will continue from its last recorded point.

4. Low Battery Level Warning: When the battery level or voltage is lower than the value pre-set, an audio prompt will sound from the remote controller. After a few seconds, the aircraft will pause the mission and begin RTH. Users can cancel the RTH by pressing the Smart RTH button on the remote controller. The mission can be continued and the aircraft will continue the mission from the point where recording stopped after replacing battery.

5. Critically Low Battery Level Warning: When the battery level or voltage is lower than the value pre-set, an audio prompt will sound from the remote controller. The aircraft will pause the mission and land automatically. The mission can be continued and the aircraft will continue the mission from the point where recording stopped after replacing battery.

Mission Complete

After nishing a Virtual Fence mission, tap “End Mission” in the top right corner of the screen. After

completing a PhotoMap, 3D Map or Waypoint Flight mission, the aircraft will perform the pre-set “End-Mission Action.” The aircraft can be controlled freely after that. For PhotoMap missions, GS Pro will prompt a page with options where users can choose to download photos from the aircraft either immediately or later.

Always set parameters according to the camera and lens used in order to calculate the optimal

ight path.

Fixed Lens: Includes DJI Phantom 3 series, Phantom 4 series and Mavic Pro, Zenmuse X3, and Zenmuse X4S cameras. The app will choose the corresponding camera when an aircraft is connected. Variable Lens (Zenmuse X5 / Zenmuse X5R / Zenmuse X5S / Zenmuse Z3): Tap to enter, set the parameters according to the lens or zoom level used then tap “Add Camera”. Custom Camera: Tap “New Custom Camera”, set the parameters according to the camera and lens used (input “1”, if you’re not sure about distortion) then tap “Add Camera”.

2. Shooting Angle (for PhotoMap and 3D Map Area only)

Choose the direction of the camera when ying along the path.

Parallel to Main Path: The camera is parallel to the main path, i.e. the angle of the camera pan axis is the same as the angle of the main path. The pictures captured on the main path will be put in order as shown.

DJI GS PRO

Vertical to Main Path: The camera pan axis is vertical to the main path. The pictures captured on the main path will be put in order as shown.

3. Capture Mode

Hover & Capture at a Point: The app will calculate the flight path and waypoint quantity according to the parameters. When performing a mission, the aircraft will hover and capture at each waypoint. In this mode, shooting is stable, but the time required will be long. The number of

waypoints required may be large, which will also make mission times longer.

Capture at Equal Dist. Interval / Time Interval: In Capture at Equal Dist. Interval / Time Interval Modes,

the aircraft will not hover during capturing as it ies along the main path. Users can set the shutter interval. The ight speed is calculated automatically according to the camera features and the altitude

(resolution) setting. In this mode, operation is fast. However, short exposure times are required.

If the interval is too small, Equal Dist. Interval / Time Interval are not be available due to the short shooting interval or the minimum speed of the aircraft. If this occurs, a warning will pop up and the aircraft will switch to Hover & Capture at a Point automatically.

Flight controller version 3.2.10 or later is required for Distance Interval / Time Interval. If using an older version, a prompt will appear warning that this is not available. This

capture mode can be used after a rmware update. Go to General Settings > Help > App Version, to check the current ight controller version.

4. Flight Course Mode

In PhotoMap or 3D Map Area, choose between Scan and Inside Mode.

Scan Mode: Generate a ight course by scanning line by line. For a concave polygon, the course

may be beyond the area boundaries. Inside Mode: Every part of the flight course generated will be inside the area. For a convex polygon, the course will be the same as the one generated in scan mode. For a concave

polygon, the course will be optimized for accuracy so the ight course may intersect.

In 3D Map POI, choose between Vertical and Circle Mode.

Vertical Mode: The ight course generated will be a square zigzag route with the vertical path as

the main path. When shooting along the main path is completed, the aircraft will shift to the next one and then continue shooting. Circle Mode: The flight course generated will be a circular path at different altitudes. Each circular path is the main path. The aircraft will fly and shoot from top to the bottom. When shooting along one of the main paths is completed, it will descend to the next one at the start point and then continue shooting.

5. Speed

Flight speed can only be set in Hover & Capture at a Point. Speed is dened as 5m/s by default

and can be set between 1 to 15m/s. In Distance Interval / Time Interval, the speed is calculated automatically, so it cannot be adjusted here.

6. Shutter Interval

Tap this and hold to set a shutter interval when the capture mode is set as “Capture at Equal Dist. Interval” or “Time Interval”. If an error prompt appears, follow the on-screen instructions to adjust the corresponding settings.

7. Altitude (for PhotoMap and 3D Map Area only)
