DJI Fly for Android

Quick overview

DJI Fly is a free companion app for aerial photography and videography that simplifies capturing, editing, and sharing drone footage. Its clean interface lets you tweak camera settings, switch shooting modes fast, and change the gimbal angle on-screen with a single tap. The app and the older DJI GO family originate from the same developer, but DJI Fly is tailored for newer consumer models and a streamlined user experience.

Supported aircraft

Currently, DJI Fly is compatible with a limited set of models:

• DJI FPV
• Mavic Mini
• DJI Mini SE
• DJI Mini 2
• Mavic Air 2
• DJI Air 2S

If your drone isn’t on this list, DJI Fly may not work with it.

In-flight information & learning tools

While flying, the app keeps essential telemetry and safety data visible on your mobile display — signal strength, flight mode, altitude, distance, and battery percentage — so you always have the key stats at a glance. New users can rely on step-by-step flight tutorials built into the app to become comfortable with basic controls. A location search helps you locate nearby attractive shooting spots and identifies GEO-restricted areas to avoid.

Editing suite and sharing options

DJI Fly bundles an on-device editor and direct sharing tools so you can polish and publish content without third-party software. It integrates with SkyPixel for easy uploading of aerial photos and clips. The editor provides a simple timeline for precise trimming, templates for quick results, and the option to work in either portrait or landscape orientation depending on the project.

Limitations and areas for improvement

Despite its convenience, the app has shortcomings. Manual camera controls are relatively limited compared with advanced desktop editors or more professional mobile apps. There’s room for broader device support, expanded manual settings, and enhanced editing features to meet the needs of power users.

Summary

DJI Fly is a convenient, all-in-one tool for casual and hobbyist pilots who want to shoot, edit, and share aerial content quickly. It saves the trouble of installing separate editing apps, but users seeking deeper manual control or support for other drone models may find it restrictive.
