After conrming the selection, the aircraft will y in the direction marked by the “GO” icon. The aircraft 
will automatically adjust its speed when it senses an obstacle out in front or if it is ying too close to the 
ground. However, this feature should not be relied upon for navigation between obstacles. 
Failsafe procedures will override all TapFly functions. If GPS signal is weak, the aircraft will exit 
autonomous ight and return to home.
Exiting Direction Mode
Use the following methods to exit Direction Mode:
1. Tap the   icon on the screen.
2. Pull back the pitch stick on the remote controller for three seconds or more.
3. Press the Flight Pause button on the remote controller.
The aircraft will stop and hover after exiting Direction Mode. Tap a new target direction to continue ying 
or begin manual ight.
DO NOT  y  the aircraft over people, animals,  small  or ne objects  (e.g.  tree branches  and 
power lines) or transparent objects (e.g. glass or water). TapFly Mode may not work properly 
when the aircraft is ying over water or snow covered areas.
Watch for obstacles in the ight path and steer clear of them.
There may be deviations between expected and actual ight paths selected in TapFly.
The selectable range for the target direction is limited. You cannot make a Direction Mode 
selection close to the upper or lower edge of the screen.
Be extra cautious when ying in too dark (< 300 lux) or too bright (>10,000 lux) environments.
Gesture Mode
Deep learning gesture recognition allows you to take seles with simple hand motions. Spark features 
brand new gesture controls like PalmLaunch, PalmControl, PalmLand, Beckon, and Sele. It is highly 
recommended to install the Spark Propeller Guards before using Gesture Mode to ensure safety. 
Flight Pause button
Only use Tripod Mode when the GPS signal is strong or in light conditions ideal for the Vision 
System. If  GPS  signal is lost and  the  Vision System does not  function,  it will automatically 
switch to ATTI mode. In this  case, ight  speed will  increase and the aircraft will not hover in 
place. Use Tripod Mode carefully.
Tripod Mode
Tap the icon in DJI GO 4 to enable Tripod Mode. In Tripod Mode, the maximum ight speed is limited 
to 2.2 mph (3.6 kph). Responsiveness to stick movements is also reduced for smoother more controlled 
movements.
