I set up the copter according to the instructions. I turn on the copter, then the remote. Nothing happens. Any help?

I would make sure the battery is charged of course and all of the cables are plugged in all the way - they can be a little tricky. There was a reset button on mine sometimes we would have to hit that intermittently while flying it.

Does the light on the bottom of the copter come on when you hook up the battery? Also does the light on the remote blink and make a beeping noise when you power it on? The remote syncs with the copter upon power up so if the lights on both are on then it's a sync issue. Disconnect the power from the copter, remove then replace the batteries in the remote, power on the remote only and you should see the light on the remote blinking repeatedly as it has nothing to communicate with. Power down the remote for a few seconds and power back on and the light should blink a few times then remain on. This is resetting the sync diagnostics and should work. Then power off the remote, power on the copter and finally power on the remote again. If this still doesn't work then it's more than likely a wiring issue and you'll have to contact the seller for a replacement. I hope this helps.

The helicopter should be turned off, so no lights there. If charging from the remote, the remote should be turned on, with a Green power light visible. While the copter is charging there is also a red light that turns on. Mine came with a Yellow USB charger as well, and that had an orange(ish) light when it was plugged in and charging. The USB no longer works so I have to charge from the remote now.

Make sure you aim the remote directly at the helo, and that your hands are not covering the top of the remote. Could also be channel interference, try another location or house.

I wish I could answer your question but I am the Gramma, I gave this to my grandson & I have no clue as to how to connect anything to anything. All I know is that my grandson found this copter hard to control. Plus, he said the battery did not last long. It looks like a fun toy but, in the end, I really don't think it works well.

As soon as you plug in the battery to the quad you have to put it on a level surface and quickly turn on the remote with the throttle stick all the way down. The quad calibrates its gyro every time it is turned on. It will not bind to the remote until after the gyro is calibrated, and will not have any remote input.

Jerry,My only suggestion would be that if there is a pin missing, that is a factory error and you should have DJI or whatever store you bought it from replace the whole copter. Can you send me a picture of what you're talking about and I'll compare it to mine and see what I can come up with? I'm usually pretty good at figuring these things out. Email me directly at: darrenofficer@yahoo.com

Make sure you have the copter on a flat level surface and then make sure your controller throttle stick is at the absolute bottom of the dance for throttle, what until the unit binds and the lights stop flashing and you will hear a beep. You are all set and binded to the controller , ready for flying!

As other posters have commented before you disconnect battery, make sure you press record off. If this still doesn't record a file, reformat the sd card and try again. Also do not remove card while copter is powered on. If none of these fix the issue then there is something wrong with the copter

Try powering it up directly from the projector, my projetor doesn't respond to power on from the remote control for some reason.

That's a problem. There must be something wrong w/the hand held device or the coptor. Send it back!

Turn the helicopter on and then turn the radio on. green light on the radio flashes, push the throttle all the way up & then pull all the way down. This will Synchronize the 2 units & the light will quit flashing, push throttle forward & fly. Hope this helps!

You probably need to balance it. In the center of the remote there's a dial. While hovering, slowly move it from the middle to either the right or left. When the copter is no longer pulling to either side, it should be balanced. If you can't reach balance, it may be defective.

Ours did the same thing. Not sure how to correCT the problem. We bought this one because of the high number of positive reviews, as a trainer before purchasing the more expensive quad copter with camera. We kept this one for parts incase we buy another one, but pretty disappointed in this copter. Good luck, hubby did say there were some you tube videos on correcting the problem, but he has lost patience with it.

Had similar problem. Out of the box, the copter flew fine (apart from my novice controlling). From the second flight onward, it would not get any higher than a couple of inches off the floor. I trolled the forums to try and solve the issue. I purchased a replacement battery, struggled with the fiddley fitting of it and still not sorted. I've now ordered another copter off amazon 'cos my lad (and me) really want to have one of these working. As a last resort I've just applied a little WD40 (via the WD40 straw) to the cogs and the bottom of the shaft and Hey Presto, works a treat! Looks like me and the boy will be duelling now that i've ordered a second! Hope that this helps anyone with the same issue. Had similar problem.

Did you get the app on your phone? Once you plug the transmitter in your phone you should be able to control it. Are lights flashing on your helicopter?

I suspect that the remote is broken. Unfortunately there is no pairing required, so doubtful it is programming related. Try unplugging everything and see if that helps. This company is no longer in business you out might be screwed. I will look at my unit and if I get any pearls of wisdom I will send them your way. Hope it works out...
