**Take-off**

There is no take-off button. You can turn on the props by pushing both sticks inward as stated by the DJI manual.

_“A Combination Stick Command (CSC) is used to start the motors. Push both sticks to the bottom inner or outer corners to start the motors. Once the motors have started spinning, release both sticks simultaneously.”_

Once the motors are active, you can use your throttle stick to ascend. Please keep in mind that your throttle stick may vary depending on which stick mode you are using.
