3. Getting Ready for the First Flight

3.1 Takeoff and Landing

Auto Takeoff

Launch DJI Fly and enter the camera view. After completing all steps in the pre-flight checklist as prompted, tap the takeoff icon and press and hold the button to confirm. The aircraft will take off and hover above the ground at a certain altitude.

Auto Landing

Tap the landing icon and tap and hold to confirm. The aircraft will land and stop the motors. Auto landing can be canceled by tapping the cancel icon.

Manual Takeoff and Landing

The control sticks can be operated in Mode 1, Mode 2, Mode 3, or Custom. The tutorial video demonstrates the manual takeoff and landing operations using Mode 2.

Takeoff: Move both control sticks inward or outward simultaneously to start the motors. Once the motors start spinning, release the sticks and gently push the left stick upward to take off.

Landing: Pull the left stick downward to land the aircraft. After landing, continue pulling the left stick downward until the motors stop.

Controlling the Aircraft

Left Stick: Moving the left stick up or down changes the altitude of the aircraft and moving it to the left or right changes the orientation of the aircraft.

Right Stick: Moving the right stick up, down, to the left or to the right controls the forward, backward, left, or right movements of the aircraft.

3.2 Photo and Video

3.3 Intelligent Flight Modes

FocusTrack

FocusTrack includes three modes: Spotlight, Point of Interest (POI), and ActiveTrack, helping you easily achieve professional tracking shots.

MasterShots

The aircraft will select a preset flight route based on the subject type and distance, and automatically take a variety of classic aerial photography shots, helping you effortlessly create cinematic footage.

Taking DJI Mini 5 Pro as an example.

QuickShots

QuickShots include multiple capturing modes (Rocket, Circle, Helix, Boomerang, Asteroid, etc.). The aircraft automatically records according to the selected capturing mode and generates a short video.

Taking DJI Mini 4 Pro as an example.

Hyperlapse

Hyperlapse takes a certain number of photos according to the time interval, and then compiles these photos into a video. It is especially suitable for recording scenes with moving elements, such as traffic flow, sunrises and sunsets, and clouds drifting.

Taking DJI Flip as an example.

Cruise Control

Cruise Control enables the flight speed to be locked, making control easier and camera movements smoother.

Taking DJI Mini 4 Pro as an example.

Waypoint Flight

You can set waypoints for different capturing locations on the map in advance, and then generate a flight route based on the set waypoints. The aircraft will then fly automatically along the preset route and complete the preset camera actions. The flight routes can be saved and repeated at different times to capture the changes over seasons at the same location.

Taking DJI Mini 4 Pro as an example.

3.4 Vision Assist

The vision assist view automatically switches to the corresponding vision sensor feeds based on the flight direction, helping you navigate and observe obstacles during flight.

3.5 Return to Home (RTH)

The aircraft features a smart RTH function, which can be triggered in three ways:

· Active RTH: During flight, you can trigger RTH by pressing and holding the RTH button on the remote controller, or tapping the RTH icon in the camera view and then pressing and holding the RTH icon.

· Low battery RTH: During flight, if the battery level is low and only sufficient to fly to the Home Point, a warning prompt will appear in DJI Fly. If you tap to confirm RTH or do not take action before the countdown ends, the aircraft will automatically initiate low battery RTH.

· Failsafe RTH: When the remote controller signal is lost for more than six seconds, the aircraft will automatically initiate Failsafe RTH.

4. After Flight

4.1 File Storage

DJI Lito X1 comes with 42 GB of built-in storage and also supports expandable storage via microSD card. If no microSD card is inserted, photos and videos will be saved to internal storage.  See the list of recommended microSD cards.

DJI Lito 1 only supports microSD card storage. Make sure a microSD card is inserted before shooting.  See the list of recommended microSD cards.

4.2 Exporting

Export via QuickTransfer

The QuickTransfer function allows for the fast transfer of photos and videos from the aircraft to a mobile device:

Export via Allow QuickTransfer in Sleep

By default, QuickTransfer can be used when the aircraft is in sleep mode. The aircraft enters sleep mode after powering off. The method for using QuickTransfer is the same in both power-off and power-on state, allowing for fast and easy media transfer without needing to power the aircraft on again.

Export via data cable or card reader

Connect the aircraft to a computer using a USB-C cable to export footage from the aircraft’s internal storage or the inserted microSD card. The aircraft does not need to be powered on during export. You can also remove the microSD card and use a card reader to transfer footage to a computer.
