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
TM
/ DJI GO 4 app. Users
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

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.
Waypoint Flight
Set a waypoint ight path, dene waypoint actions then start ying with a tap.
3D Map Area: DJI GS Pro automatically generates efcient 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
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.
* 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.
A virtual fence denes a specic 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.

in Virtual Fence or 3D Map Area as a waypoint in Waypoint Flight mission, or set the building
and ight radius calculated through several places.
: In 3D Map POI, y the aircraft to several positions around the building and tap the icon
to select. At least two or more points are required to determine the radius of the center of the
building. Tap
to nish setting the building radius. Next, y the aircraft to the desired position
and tap
to set the ight radius. In other missions, tap to set the aircraft position as a boundary
point or a waypoint.
: Tap to delete the last point.
: Tap to nish after setting all the required points.
Aircraft (Record Altitude): This method can only be used for Waypoint Flight missions. The
instructions are the same as “Aircraft” above. In addition, both position and altitude will be
recorded. When performing the mission, the aircraft will y the preset position and altitude.
The ight area will be generated according to the order the points were set.
The area generated according to the order that the points were set cannot intersect
otherwise a ight area cannot be generated. DJI GS Pro will decide if points can be
used to generate a ight area. If not, the “Finish” button will be grayed out and cannot
be tapped.

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

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.

PhotoMap / 3D Map Settings
The settings of PhotoMap, 3D Map Area and 3D Map POI are similar. Unless otherwise specied,
the descriptions below are compatible with all the three types of missions.
Main Path: The ight path on which shooting is required is called the Main Path in a 3D Map
mission.
Flight Path Display
Displays the generated ight path if enabled. The path will be hidden if disabled.
Basic
1. Camera Model
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)

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 dened 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)
Adjust the ight altitude or the corresponding resolution. It is dened as 50m by default and can
be set between 5 to 500m.

PhotoMap
When a PhotoMap mission is completed, users can import images into GS Pro to composite a 2D
map. Calibration can also be applied to the composite result.
Importing Photos
After a mission, GS Pro will show a prompt window to remind users to download photos from the
aircraft. A new material item will also be generated under the Material tag for the photo set of the
current ight. Follow the instructions below to import photos if you missed the prompt window.
1. Tap the “Material” tag in the Navigation Pane. It will show photo materials which have the same
name as their corresponding PhotoMap missions.
2. Tap the icon
on the right of the desired mission, and then choose a photo source between
“From Photo Library” on the iPad and “From Aircraft.”
a. If you want to choose “From Photo Library” on the iPad, a Lightning to SD Card Camera
Reader is required to import the photos to the Micro SD card of the aircraft to “Photos” on
the iPad. Next, tap “From Photo Library” in GS Pro; it will display photos matching the current
mission. Users can choose part or all of the photos and then tap “Import.”
b. If “From Aircraft” is selected, ensure that the aircraft is connected to the remote controller.
GS Pro will download the corresponding aerial photos automatically. Make sure that the
Micro SD card of the aircraft includes all of the pictures taken during this ight. Otherwise,
the import will fail.
Since downloading photos from the aircraft takes long time, it is recommended to import
a large number of photos to the iPad through a Lightning to SD Card Camera Reader.
3. After photos have been imported, if there is an update, swipe the mission to the left and then tap
“Import” to select the photo source again. This operation is the same as Step 2.

Material Name: Tap the button on the right to edit its name.
Camera: Displays the camera model used.
Capture Interval: F indicates the interval of two consecutive pictures captured along the
same main path, and S indicates the interval of two pictures on two parallel main paths. The
intervals will vary according to the number of selected photos.
Photo Number: Displays the number of selected photos and all photos.
All / High / Mid / Low: Select the number of photos used to composite a map (the four options
are listed as the number of photos from more to less). The more the photos you select, the more
precise the composite map may be, and also the more system resources will be used. The GS
Pro will select the corresponding photos automatically according to different options. Users can
also manually select photos required in the Photo Preview section.
Photo Preview and Select: Click the photo to view it in full screen, and click the circle in the
upper right corner to select the photo or deselect.
2. Coordinates of each photo, when captured, will be displayed in the map view. A yellow dot
indicates that the corresponding photo has been selected, and the white dot indicates that it has
not been selected.
3. After photos have been selected, tap the composite button on the upper right corner and wait for
the composite to complete. If the composite gets canceled halfway, it will start over after tapping
the button again.
4. There will be a red dot on the Map tag after the composite. Tap the tag to nd folders with the
same name as each PhotoMap mission. Tap to expand or collapse them.
Managing Maps
1. In the photomap list under the Map tag, tap a map, and the screen will show up the
corresponding composite result.
2. Swipe to the left to Calibrate, Pin or Delete the map. Please note that there is no Calibrate option
for calibrated maps. Select Calibrate for composite map calibration. Refer to Calibrating Maps
for details.
3. Tap and hold the map on the list to enter the multi-select mode to Pin or Delete more than one
map.
4. If maps are pinned, the screen will show them up all the time when viewing maps under the Map
tag. In any other interface, use the 2D switch on the right side of the screen to enable/disable the
display.
Calibrating Maps
There will be an offset between the photomap composited by aerial photos and its actual position
due to aircraft positioning deviation when capturing and also photo quality. Select three or more
references as reference points and obtain their exact coordinates for map calibration in GS Pro.
1. Under the photomap list, swipe the desired map to the left, then tap Calibrate to enter the map
calibration page.
