Aircraft

DJI Mini 2 contains a flight controller, video downlink system, vision system, propulsion system, and an Intelligent Flight Battery.

Flight Modes
DJI Mini 2 has three flight modes, plus a fourth flight mode that the aircraft switches to in certain scenarios. Flight modes can be switched via the Flight Mode switch on the remote controller.
Normal Mode: The aircraft utilizes GPS and the Downward Vision System to locate itself and stabilize. Intelligent Flight Mode is enabled in this mode. When the GPS signal is strong, the aircraft uses GPS to locate itself and stabilize. When the GPS is weak and the lighting conditions are sufficient, the aircraft uses the Downward Vision System to locate itself and stabilize. When the Downward Vision System is enabled and lighting conditions are sufficient, the maximum flight altitude angle is 25° and the maximum flight speed is 10 m/s.

Sport Mode: In Sport mode, the aircraft uses GPS and the Downward Vision System for positioning. In Sport mode, aircraft responses are optimized for agility and speed making it more responsive to control stick movements. The maximum flight speed is 16 m/s, maximum ascent speed is 5 m/s, and maximum descent speed is 3.5 m/s.
Cine Mode: Cine mode is based on Normal mode and the flight speed is limited, making the aircraft more stable during shooting. The maximum flight speed is 6 m/s, maximum ascent speed is 2 m/s, and maximum descent speed is 1.5 m/s.

The aircraft automatically changes to Attitude (ATTI) mode when the Downward Vision System is unavailable or disabled and when the GPS signal is weak or the compass experiences interference. When the Downward Vision System is unavailable, the aircraft cannot position itself or brake automatically, which increases the risk of potential flight hazards. In ATTI mode, the aircraft may be more easily affected by its surroundings. Environmental factors such as wind can result in horizontal shifting, which may present hazards, especially when flying in confined spaces.

• The maximum speed and braking distance of the aircraft significantly increase in Sport mode. A minimum braking distance of 30 m is required in windless conditions.
• Descent speed significantly increases in Sport mode. A minimum braking distance of 10 m is required in windless conditions.
• The responsiveness of the aircraft significantly increases in Sport mode, which means a small control stick movement on the remote controller translates into the aircraft moving a large distance. Be vigilant and maintain adequate maneuvering space during flight.
• During video mode in Normal or Cine mode, the flight speed is limited when the pitch of the gimbal is near -90° or 0° in order to ensure shooting is stable. If there are strong winds, the restriction will be disabled to improve the wind resistance of the aircraft. As a result, the gimbal may vibrate while recording.

Aircraft Status Indicator

DJI Mini 2 has a front LED and aircraft status indicator.The front LED shows the orientation of the aircraft and pulses white when the aircraft is powered on.

Front LED States

Press and hold the QuickTransfer button to switch between QuickTransfer mode (Wi-Fi connection) and flight mode (OcuSync 2.0 video transmission connection). If firmware is not updated to v1.1.0.0 or above, press the QuickTransfer button twice.

• If the front LED continues to slowly blink blue when switching from Wi-Fi connection to OcuSync 2.0 video transmission connection, it indicates that the switch failed. Restart the aircraft. The aircraft will enter the flight mode (OcuSync 2.0 video transmission connection) by default after restarting.

The aircraft status indicator shows the status of the flight control system of the aircraft. Refer to the table below for more information about the aircraft status indicator.

Aircraft Status Indicator States

QuickTransfer
DJI Mini 2 can connect directly to mobile devices via Wi-Fi, enabling users to download photos and videos from the aircraft to the mobile device through DJI Fly without the need of a remote controller. Users can enjoy faster and more convenient downloads with a transmission rate of up to 20 MB/s.

Usage

Method 1: mobile device is not connected to the remote controller

1. Power on the aircraft and wait until the self-diagnostic tests of the aircraft are complete. Press and hold the QuickTransfer button for two seconds to switch to QuickTransfer mode (if firmware is not updated to v1.1.0.0, press the aircraft status indicator twice). The front LED will blink blue slowly before pulsing blue once switching is successful.
2. Make sure Bluetooth and Wi-Fi is enabled on the mobile device. Launch DJI Fly and a prompt will automatically appear to connect to the aircraft.
3. Tap Connect. Once successfully connected, the files on the aircraft can be accessed and downloaded at a high speed. Note that when connecting the mobile device to the aircraft for the first time, you need to press the QuickTransfer button to confirm.

Method 2: mobile device is connected to the remote controller

1. Make sure that the aircraft is connected to the mobile device via the remote controller and the motors have not started.
2. Enable Bluetooth and Wi-Fi on the mobile device.
3. Launch DJI Fly, enter playback, and tap in the upper right corner to access the files on the aircraft to download at high speed.

• The maximum download rate can only be achieved in countries and regions where the 5.8 GHz frequency is permitted by laws and regulations, when using devices that support 5.8 GHz frequency band and Wi-Fi connection, and in an environment without interference or obstruction. If 5.8 GHz is not allowed by local regulations (such as in Japan), the mobile device of the user will not support the 5.8 GHz frequency band or the environment will have severe interference. Under these circumstances, QuickTransfer will automatically switch to the 2.4 GHz frequency band and its maximum download rate will reduce to 6 MB/s.
• Make sure that Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and location services are enabled on the mobile device before using QuickTransfer.
• When using QuickTransfer, it is not necessary to enter the Wi-Fi password on the settings page of the mobile device in order to connect. After switching the aircraft to QuickTransfer, launch DJI Fly and a prompt will appear to connect the aircraft.
• The aircraft will automatically enter flight mode by default after restarting. QuickTransfer must be entered manually again if required.
• Use QuickTransfer in an unobstructed environment with no interference and stay away from sources of interference such as wireless routers, Bluetooth speakers, or headphones.

Return to Home
The Return to Home (RTH) function brings the aircraft back to the last recorded Home Point and lands when the GPS is signal is strong. There are three types of RTH: Smart RTH, Low Battery RTH, and Failsafe RTH. If the aircraft successfully recorded the home point and the GPS signal is strong, the RTH will be triggered when either the user starts Smart RTH, the aircraft battery level is low, or the signal between the remote controller and the aircraft is lost. RTH will also be triggered in other abnormal scenarios such as if there is a loss of video transmission.

/GPS/Description
Home Point/ /The default Home Point is the first location where the aircraft received a strong or moderately strong GPS signal (where the icon shows white). It is recommended to wait until the Home Point is successfully recorded before flying. After the Home Point is recorded, the aircraft status indicator blinks green and a prompt appears in DJI Fly. If it is necessary to update the Home Point during the flight (such as if the user changes position), the Home Point can be manually updated under Safety in System Settings on DJI Fly.

Smart RTH
If the GPS signal is sufficient, Smart RTH can be used to bring the aircraft back to the Home Point. Smart RTH is initiated either by tapping in DJI Fly or by pressing and holding the RTH button on the remote controller. Exit Smart RTH by tapping in DJI Fly or by pressing the RTH button on the remote controller.

Low Battery RTH
When the Intelligent Flight Battery level is too low and there is not enough power to return home, land the aircraft as soon as possible. Otherwise, the aircraft will fall when it runs out of power, resulting in the aircraft being damaged and other potential hazards.

To avoid unnecessary danger due to insufficient power, DJI Mini 2 will intelligently determine whether the current battery level is sufficient to return home based on the current location. Low Battery RTH is triggered when the Intelligent Flight Battery is depleted to the point that the safe return of the aircraft may be affected.
The user can cancel RTH by pressing the RTH button on the remote controller. If RTH is cancelled following a low battery level warning, the Intelligent Flight Battery may not have enough power for the aircraft to land safely, which may lead to the aircraft crashing or being lost.

The aircraft will automatically land if the battery level is extremely low. The action cannot be canceled but the remote controller can still be used to reduce the descent speed or adjust the direction of the aircraft.
The aircraft will land automatically if the battery level will only last long enough to directly descend and land from its current altitude. The action cannot be canceled but the remote controller can be used to adjust the direction of the aircraft.

Failsafe RTH
If the Home Point was successfully recorded and the compass is functioning normally, Failsafe RTH automatically activates after the remote controller signal is lost for more than 11 seconds.
When the firmware is updated to v1.1.0.0 and above, the aircraft will fly backwards for 50 m on its original flight route and ascend to the preset RTH altitude to enter Straight Line RTH. The aircraft enters Straight Line RTH if the remote controller signal is restored during Failsafe RTH. When the aircraft flies backwards along the original flight path and the distance from the Home Point is less than 20 m, the aircraft stops flying backward on the original flight route and enters Straight Line RTH at the current altitude.

In DJI Fly, users can change the settings of how the aircraft responds when the remote controller signal is lost. The aircraft will not execute Failsafe RTH if land or hover has been selected in the settings.
Other RTH Scenarios

There will be a prompt to initiate RTH if the video link signal is lost during flight while the remote controller is still able to control the movements of the aircraft. RTH can be cancelled.

RTH Procedure (Straight Line)

1. The Home Point is recorded.
2. RTH is triggered.
3. If the aircraft is less than 20 m from the Home Point when RTH begins, it will hover in place and not return to home (firmware version v1.1.0.0 is required. Otherwise, the aircraft will land immediately). If the aircraft is further than 20 m from the Home Point when RTH begins, it will return home at a horizontal speed of 10.5 m/s.
4. After reaching the Home Point, the aircraft lands and the motors stop.

• The aircraft cannot return to the Home Point if the GPS signal is weak or unavailable. If the GPS signal becomes weak or unavailable after RTH is triggered, the aircraft will hover in place for a while before landing.
• It is important to set a suitable RTH altitude before each flight. Launch DJI Fly and set the RTH altitude. In Smart RTH and Low Battery RTH, if the current altitude of the aircraft is less than the RTH altitude, it automatically ascends to the RTH altitude first. If the altitude of the aircraft reaches or is higher than the RTH altitude, it will fly to the Home Point at its current altitude.
• If the aircraft is at an altitude of 65 ft (20 m) or higher and has not yet reached the RTH altitude, the throttle stick can be moved to stop the aircraft from ascending and the aircraft will fly to the Home Point at its current altitude (only available with firmware v1.0.0.0. This function is not available when the firmware is updated to v1.1.0.0 or later).
• During RTH, the speed, altitude, and orientation of the aircraft can be controlled using the remote controller if the remote controller signal is normal. However, the remote controller cannot be used to pan left or right. When the aircraft is ascending or flying forward, the user can push the control stick completely in the opposite direction to make the aircraft exit RTH and hover in place.
• GEO zones will affect RTH. If the aircraft flies into a GEO zone during RTH it will hover in place.
• The aircraft may not be able to return to a Home Point when the wind speed is too high. Fly with caution.

Landing Protection
Landing Protection will activate during Smart RTH.

1. During Landing Protection, the aircraft will automatically detect and carefully land on suitable ground.
2. If the ground is determined unsuitable for landing, DJI Mini 2 will hover and wait for pilot confirmation.
3. If Landing Protection is not operational, DJI Fly will display a landing prompt when the aircraft descends below 0.5 m. Tap confirm or pull down on the throttle stick to land.

Vision System and Infrared Sensing System

DJI Mini 2 is equipped with a Downward Vision System and Infrared Sensing System. The Downward Vision System consists of one camera and the Infrared Sensing System consists of two 3D infrared modules. The Downward Vision System and Infrared Sensing System helps the aircraft maintain its current position, hover in place more precisely, and to fly indoors or in other environments where GPS is unavailable.

Detection Fields
The Downward Vision System works best when the aircraft is at an altitude of 0.5 to 10 m and its operating range is 0.5 to 30 m.

Using the Vision Systems
When GPS is unavailable, the Downward Vision System is enabled if the surface has a clear texture and there is sufficient light. The Downward Vision System works best when the aircraft is at an altitude of 0.5 to 10 m. If the altitude of the aircraft is above 10 m, the Vision System may be affected. Extra caution is required.

Follow the steps below to use the Downward Vision System.

1. Make sure the aircraft is in Normal or Cine mode. Power on the aircraft.

2. The aircraft hovers in place after takeoff. The aircraft status indicator blinks green twice, indicating the Downward Vision System is working.

   • Pay attention to the flight environment. The Downward Vision System and Infrared Sensing System only work under limited conditions and cannot replace human control and judgment. During
     flight, always pay attention to the surrounding environment and to the warnings on DJI Fly and be responsible for and maintain control of the aircraft.

   • The aircraft has a max hovering altitude of 5 m if GPS is unavailable.

   • The Downward Vision System may not function properly when the aircraft is flying over water. Therefore, the aircraft may not be able to actively avoid water below when landing. It is recommended to maintain flight control at all times, make reasonable judgments based on the surrounding environment, and avoid relying on the Downward Vision System.

   • Note that the Downward Vision System and Infrared Sensing System may not function properly when the aircraft is flying too fast. The Infrared Sensing System only takes effect when the flight speed is no more than 12 m/s.

   • The Downward Vision System cannot work properly over surfaces that do not have clear pattern variations or there is weak light. The Downward Vision System cannot work properly in any of the following situations. Operate the aircraft cautiously.

   • a) Flying over monochrome surfaces (e.g., pure black, pure white, pure green).

   • b) Flying over highly reflective surfaces.

   • c) Flying over water or transparent surfaces.

   • d) Flying over moving surfaces or objects.

   • e) Flying in an area where the lighting changes frequently or drastically.

   • f) Flying over extremely dark (< 10 lux) or bright (> 40,000 lux) surfaces.

   • g) Flying over surfaces that strongly reflect or absorb infrared waves (e.g., mirrors).

   • h) Flying over surfaces without clear patterns or texture. (e.g., power pole).

   • i) Flying over surfaces with repeating identical patterns or textures (e.g., tiles with the same design).

   • j) Flying over obstacles with small surface areas (e.g., tree branches).

   • Keep the sensors clean at all times. DO NOT tamper with the sensors. DO NOT use the aircraft in environment with dust and humidity. DO NOT obstruct the Infrared Sensing System.

   • DO NOT fly when it is rainy, smoggy, or if there is no clear sight.

   • Check the following every time before takeoff:

   • a) Make sure there are no stickers or any other obstructions over the Infrared Sensing System or Downward Vision System.

   • b) If there is any dirt, dust, or water on the Infrared Sensing System or Downward Vision System, clean with a soft cloth. DO NOT use any cleanser that contains alcohol.

   • c) Contact DJI Support if there is any damage to the glass of the Infrared Sensing System or Downward Vision System.
