Depending on the payload used, downward obstacle sensors may need to be disabled on the DJI M300 / M350. Use DJI Pilot to disable them according to the screenshots below.

UgCS Companion on the DJI remote controller

Note

To establish the drone link connection between the UgCS-CPM on your computer and SkyHub on the drone, both Companion (on your remote controller) and UgCS software (on your computer) must be open

The Companion application is available for download here: SkyHub download page.

The UgCS Companion application establishes a connection with SkyHub automatically if the DJI driver is enabled. The SkyHub indicator in the upper left corner of the application turns green if the connection is established.

If there is more than one computer with UgCS used in the network, tap on the UgCS indicator in the upper left corner of the UgCS Companion application to access the list of available UgCS instances and select the necessary one.
