Product Profile

This section introduces Mavic 2 Pro/Zoom and lists the components of the aircraft and remote controller.

Introduction
The DJI Mavic 2 Pro/Zoom features omnidirectional Vision Systems and Infrared Sensing Systems. Effortlessly capture complex shots using signature DJI technologies such as Obstacle Sensing and Intelligent Flight Modes like Hyperlapse, Point of Interest, ActiveTrack™ 2.0, TapFly, QuickShots, and Advanced Pilot Assistance Systems (APAS).
The Mavic 2 Pro features a fully stabilized 3-axis gimbal with a 1″ CMOS sensor camera (jointly developed by DJI and Hasselblad) that shoots 4K video, 20-megapixel photos, and supports filters.
The Mavic 2 Zoom features a fully stabilized 3-axis gimbal camera that shoots 4K video, 12-megapixel photos, supports 2x optical zoom, 24-48 mm lens, and supports filters.
The Mavic 2 Pro/Zoom uses the latest technology to increase stability and footage quality, reducing the Mavic 2 Zoom angle vibration range to within ±0.005° and Mavic 2 Pro angle vibration range to within ±0.01°.
Built into the remote controller is DJI’s long-range transmission technology OCUSYNC™ 2.0, offering a maximum transmission range of 5 mi (8 km) and displaying video from the aircraft to DJI GO 4 on your mobile device at up to 1080p. The remote controller works at both 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz, and it can select the best transmission channel automatically without any latency. The aircraft and camera can easily be controlled using the onboard buttons. An onboard LCD screen gives real-time aircraft data information, and the detachable control sticks make the remote controller easier to store. The maximum run time is 2 hours and 15 minutes. The Mavic 2 Pro/Zoom boasts a maximum flight speed of 44.7 mph (72 kph) and a maximum flight time of 31 minutes.

• The major difference between the Mavic 2 Pro and Mavic 2 Zoom is the camera. The general descriptions in this manual apply to both Mavic 2 Pro/Zoom.
• Maximum flight time was tested in an environment with no wind while flying at a consistent 15.5 mph (25 kph) and the maximum flight speed was tested at sea level altitude with no wind. These values are for reference only.
• The remote controller reaches its maximum transmission distance (FCC) in a wide-open area with no electromagnetic interference at an altitude of about 400 ft (120 m). The maximum runtime was tested in a laboratory environment. This value is for reference only.
• 5.8 GHz is not supported in some regions. Please observe the local laws and regulations.

Preparing the Mavic 2 Pro/Zoom
Preparing the Aircraft
All aircraft arms are folded before the aircraft is packaged at the factory. Follow the steps below to unfold the aircraft.

1. Remove the gimbal cover from the camera.
2. Unfold the front arms, and then unfold the rear arms.

*Attach the gimbal cover when not in use.

1. Hold the gimbal in place and insert gimbal clamp between the aircraft and the gimbal.

2.  Make sure the hooks on the Gimbal Protector are locked in the grooves of the aircraft, then lower the Gimbal Protector over the gimbal and secure with the buckle. The buckle will click when it is securely attached.

3. Attaching the propellers.
   Attach the propellers marked white to the motors with white marks. Press the propeller down onto the motors and turn until it is secure. Attach the other propellers to the unmarked motors. Unfold all the propeller blades.
   

4. All Intelligent Flight Batteries are in Hibernation mode before shipment to ensure safety. Use the provided AC power adapter to charge and activate Intelligent Flight Batteries for the first time. To charge an Intelligent Flight Battery after flight, remove it from the aircraft and attach it to the AC power adapter.
   

• Unfold the front arms and propellers before unfolding the rear arms.
• It is normal if there is friction on the arms and aircraft due to the firmly folding design of the Mavic 2 Pro/Zoom aircraft.
• Be sure the gimbal cover is removed and all arms and propellers are unfolded before powering on the aircraft. Otherwise, it may affect the aircraft self-diagnostics.
• When using a Huawei mobile device, select “Charge Only” when connecting via USB. Other options may cause the connection to fail.

Preparing the Remote Controller

1. Unfold the mobile device clamps and the antennas.

2.  Remove the control sticks from their storage slots on the remote controller and screw them into place.
   

3. Choose an appropriate RC cable based on the type of mobile device. A cable with a Lightning connector is connected by default to the cable slider. Micro USB and USB-C cables are also included in the packaging. Connect the end of the RC cable to your mobile device. Secure your mobile device by pushing both clamps inward.
   

Refer to the figure below for how to replace the RC cable. The RC cable slider must be replaced if using a USB-C RC cable.

• You can also connect your mobile device to the remote controller using a USB cable if the mobile device is too big to place into the clamps. Plug one end of the cable into your mobile device and the other end into the USB port on the bottom of the remote controller.
• Do not use the Micro USB and USB ports simultaneously for video linking. Remove the cable from one port before connecting a device to the other port for video linking.

Aircraft

This section introduces the flight controller, Intelligent Flight Battery, and the Forward, Backward and Downward Vision Systems.
Aircraft
The Mavic 2 Pro/Zoom contains a flight controller, vision systems, video downlink system, propulsion system, and an Intelligent Flight Battery. Refer to the aircraft diagram in the Product Profile section.
Flight Modes
The Mavic 2 Pro/Zoom has three flight modes, plus a fourth flight mode that the aircraft switches to in certain circumstances:
P-mode (Positioning): P-mode works best when the GPS signal is strong. The aircraft utilizes GPS and the Vision Systems to locate itself, stabilize, and navigate between obstacles. Intelligent Flight Modes are enabled in this mode.
When the Forward and Backward Vision Systems are enabled and lighting conditions are sufficient, the maximum flight altitude angle is 25°, the maximum forward flight speed is 31 mph (50 kph), and the maximum backward flight speed is 27 mph (43 kph).
Note: P-mode requires larger stick movements to achieve high speeds.
The aircraft automatically changes to Attitude (ATTI) mode when the Vision Systems are unavailable or disabled and when the GPS signal is weak or the compass experiences interference. When the Vision Systems are 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.
S-mode (Sport) : In S-mode, the Vision Systems are disabled and the aircraft only uses GPS for positioning. The maximum flight speed is 44.7 mph (72kph). Intelligent Flight Modes are not available and the aircraft cannot sense or avoid obstacles.
Note: In S-mode, aircraft responses are optimized for agility and speed making it more responsive to stick movements.
T-mode (Tripod): T-mode is based on P-mode and the flight speed is limited, which makes the aircraft more stable during shooting. The maximum flight speed, maximum ascend speed and maximum descend speed are 1 m/s. Intelligent Flight Modes are not available in T-mode.

• The Forward, Backward, Lateral Vision Systems and the Upward Infrared Sensing System are disabled in S-mode, which means the aircraft cannot sense obstacles on its route automatically.
• The aircraft’s maximum speed and braking distance significantly increase in S-mode. A minimum braking distance of 98.4 ft (30 m) is required in windless conditions.
• Descent speed significantly increases in S-mode.
• The aircraft’s responsiveness significantly increases in S-mode, which means a small stick movement on the remote controller translates into the aircraft moving a large distance. Be vigilant and maintain adequate maneuvering space during flight.
• Use the Flight Mode switch on the remote controller to switch between Flight Modes. Enable Multiple Flight Modes in DJI GO 4 to switch between Flight Modes.

Aircraft LEDs and Status Indicator
The Mavic 2 Pro/Zoom has Front LEDs and Aircraft Status Indicators as shown in the figure below.

The Front LEDs show the orientation of the aircraft and glow solid red when the aircraft is turned on to indicate the front of the aircraft (they can be turned off in the DJI GO 4).
The Aircraft Status Indicators communicate the status of the aircraft’s flight control system. Refer to the table below for more information about the Aircraft Status Indicators. The Aircraft Status Indicators also flash when the Home Point is being recorded, as described in the Return to Home section.

Aircraft Status Indicator States

Return to Home
The Return to Home (RTH) function brings the aircraft back to the last recorded Home Point. There are three types of RTH: Smart RTH, Low Battery RTH, and Failsafe RTH. This section describes these three scenarios in detail.

| GPS| Description
---|---|---
Home Point| | If a strong GPS signal was acquired before takeoff, the Home Point is the location from which the aircraft launched. The GPS signal strength is indicated by the GPS icon (  ). The Aircraft Status Indicator will blink green quickly when the Home Point is recorded.

Smart RTH
If the GPS signal is sufficiently strong, Smart RTH can be used to bring the aircraft back to the Home Point. Smart RTH is initiated either by tapping in the DJI GO 4 or by pressing and holding the RTH button on the remote controller.
Exit Smart RTH by tapping in the DJI GO 4 or by pressing the RTH button on the remote controller.
Low Battery RTH
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. Return home or land the aircraft immediately when prompted. DJI GO 4 displays a warning when the battery level is low. The aircraft will automatically return to the Home Point if no action is taken after a ten-second countdown. The user can cancel RTH by pressing the RTH button or Flight Pause button on the remote controller.
If RTH is cancelled following a low battery level warning, the Intelligent Flight Battery may not have enough charge for the aircraft to land safely, which may lead to the aircraft crashing or being lost. The thresholds for the battery level warnings are automatically determined based on the aircraft’s current altitude and distance from the Home Point.
The aircraft will land automatically if the current battery level can only support the aircraft long enough to descend from its current altitude. The user cannot cancel the auto landing but can use the remote controller to alter the aircraft’s orientation during the landing process.

• The colored zones and markers on the DJI GO 4 battery level indicator bar reflect the estimated remaining flight time. They automatically adjust according to the aircraft’s current location and status.
• If the current battery level can only support the aircraft long enough to descend from its current altitude, a critically low battery level warning triggers and the aircraft descends and lands automatically. This cannot be canceled. If there is a danger of a collision, push the throttle up and try to navigate away.
• If the battery level is sufficient, the battery level indicator bar in DJI GO 4 displays the estimated remaining flight time based on the current battery level.

If a battery level warning appears, take action as described in the table below.
RTH and Battery Level Warnings (when using firmware v00.06.00.00)

Point automatically or to
resume normal flight. If no action is taken, the aircraft will automatically fly home after 10 seconds.| Battery level is low. Fly the aircraft back and land promptly, then stop the motors and replace the battery.
Critically Low Battery Level| Blinks red quickly| Display flashes red.| The aircraft descends and lands automatically.
This procedure cannot be canceled. If there is a danger of a collision, push the throttle up and try to navigate away.

RTH and Battery Level Warnings (when using updated firmware v01.00.00.00)

the aircraft will enter RTH.
| Remaining battery level supports
Emergency RTH (when in RTH, with a normal RC signal, and at an altitude higher than 50 m).| | Choose Emergency
RTH or resume RTH.| Select an option. Emergency RTH (aircraft descends to 50 m and returns to the Home Point) or resume RTH (aircraft flies to Home Point without descending). If no action is taken, the aircraft will enter Emergency RTH.
Low Battery Level| Remaining battery level supports Emergency Landing (when in RTH with
a normal RC signal).| Blinks red slowly| Aircraft lands. Action

Aircraft lands automatically (when flying normally with an extremely critical low battery level).| Aircraft lands immediately. Action cannot be canceled.| Aircraft lands immediately.

Failsafe RTH
The aircraft allows the aircraft to create a real-time map of its flight route as it flies. If the Home Point was successfully recorded and the compass is functioning normally, Failsafe RTH automatically activates after the remote control signal is lost for more than two seconds.
When Failsafe RTH is activated, the aircraft starts to retrace its original flight route home. If the remote control signal is re-established within 60 seconds of Failsafe RTH being activated, the aircraft hovers at its present location for 10 seconds and waits for pilot commands. The user may tap in the DJI GO 4 or press the RTH button on the remote controller to cancel Failsafe RTH and retake control. If no pilot command is given, the aircraft flies to the Home Point in a straight line. If the remote control signal is still lost 60 seconds after activating Failsafe RTH, the aircraft stops retracing its original flight route and flies to Home Point in a straight line.

• If the aircraft is further than 2 km or less than 50 m from the Home Point when RTH begins, the aircraft will not retrace the original flight route and instead flies in a straight line to the Home Point.
• Note that GEO zones will affect the ability of the aircraft to retrace the original flight route.
• After detecting obstacles during flight, the aircraft stops retracing the original flight route and instead flies in a straight line to the Home Point.

RTH Procedure
Smart RTH, Low Battery RTH, and Failsafe RTH all follow the RTH procedure:

1. The air craft adjusts its orientation.

2. a. If the aircraft is further than 20 m from the Home Point when the RTH procedure begins, it ascends to the pre-set RTH altitude and then flies to the Home Point at a speed of 12 m/s. If the current altitude is higher than the RTH altitude, the aircraft flies to the Home Point at the current altitude. Forward and Backward vision systems are enabled.
   b. If the aircraft is between 5 m and 20 m from the Home Point when the RTH procedure begins:
   i. If the RTH at Current Altitude option is enabled the aircraft flies to the Home Point at the current altitude, unless the current altitude is less than 2 m, in which case the aircraft ascends to 2 m and then flies to the Home Point at a speed of 3 m/s.
   ii. If the RTH at Current Altitude option is disabled, the aircraft lands immediately.
   c. If the aircraft is less than 5 m from the Home Point when the RTH procedure begins, it lands immediately.

3. After reaching the Home Point, the aircraft lands and the motors stop.

Obstacle Avoidance during RTH
Provided that lighting conditions are sufficient for the Forward and Backward Vision Systems to operate, the Mavic 2 Pro/Zoom senses and actively attempts to avoid obstacles during RTH. The obstacle avoidance procedure is as follows:

1. The aircraft decelerates when an obstacle is sensed.
2. The aircraft stops and hovers and then ascends until no obstacle is sensed.
3.  The RTH procedure resumes. The aircraft flies to the Home Point at the new altitude.

• The aircraft cannot return to the Home Point if the GPS signal is weak or unavailable.
• In Smart RTH and Low Battery RTH, the aircraft automatically ascends to an altitude of 65 ft (20 m). Once the altitude is 65 ft (20 m) or higher, move the throttle stick and the aircraft stops ascending and flies to the Home Point at its current altitude.
• The aircraft cannot avoid obstacles during Failsafe RTH if the Forward and Backward Vision Systems are unavailable. It is important to set a suitable RTH Altitude before each flight. Launch DJI GO 4, tap and then set the RTH Altitude.
• During RTH, the aircraft’s speed and altitude can be controlled using the remote controller or DJI GO 4, but the flight controller controls its orientation and direction of flight.
• During RTH, obstacles on either side of the aircraft cannot be detected or avoided.

Landing Protection
Landing Protection activates during Smart RTH and the aircraft performs as follows:

1. When Landing Protection determines that the ground is suitable for landing, the aircraft lands gently.
2.  If Landing Protection determines that the ground is not suitable for landing, the aircraft hovers and waits for the pilot to confirm it is suitable to land.
3. If Landing Protection is not operational, DJI GO 4 displays a landing prompt when the aircraft descends below 0.5 m. Pull down on the throttle for one second or use the auto landing slider in the app to land.

Landing Protection activates during Low Battery RTH and Failsafe RTH. The aircraft performs as follows:
During Low Battery RTH and Failsafe RTH, the aircraft hovers at 2 m above the ground and waits for the pilot to confirm it is suitable to land. Pull down on the throttle for one second or use the auto landing slider in the app to land. Landing Protection activates and the aircraft performs the steps listed above.
Vision Systems are disabled during landing. Be sure to land the aircraft with caution.

Precision Landing
The Mavic 2 Pro/Zoom automatically scans and attempts to match the terrain features underneath during Return to Home. When the current terrain matches Home Point terrain, the Mavic 2 Pro/Zoom will start landing. The DJI GO 4 app will show a terrain feature mismatch prompt if matching fails.

• Precision Landing performance is subject to the following conditions:
  a. The Home Point must be recorded upon takeoff and must not be changed during flight, otherwise the aircraft will have no record of the Home Point’s terrain features.
  b. During takeoff the aircraft must ascend vertically 7 m before moving horizontally.
  c. The Home Point terrain features must remain largely unchanged.
  d. The Home Point terrain features must be sufficiently distinctive.
  e. The lighting conditions must not be too light or too dark.
  The following actions are available during Precision Landing:
  a. Throttle down to accelerate landing.
  b. Move the control sticks in any other direction to stop Precision Landing. The Mavic 2 Pro/Zoom will descend vertically after the control sticks are released.

Vision Systems and Infrared Sensing Systems
The Mavic 2 Pro/Zoom is equipped with Forward, Backward, Downward, and Lateral Vision Systems, and Upward and Downward Infrared Sensing Systems, providing omnidirectional obstacle sensing (if lighting conditions are adequate).
The main components of the Forward, Backward, and Downward Vision Systems are six cameras located on the nose, rear side, and the underside of the aircraft. Lateral Vision Systems are two cameras located on either side of the aircraft.
The main components of the Upward and Downward Infrared Sensing Systems are two 3D infrared modules located on the upper and underside of the aircraft.
The Downward Vision System and Infrared Sensing System helps the aircraft maintain its current position and hover in place more precisely and to fly indoors or in other environments where a GPS signal is unavailable. In addition, the Auxiliary Bottom Light located on the underside of the aircraft improves visibility for the Downward Vision System in weak light conditions.

Detection Range
The detection range of the Vision Systems is depicted as followed. Please note that the aircraft cannot sense or avoid the obstacles that are not within detection range.

Calibrating Vision System Cameras
The Vision System cameras installed on the aircraft are factory calibrated. If the aircraft experiences a collision, however, it may require calibration via DJI Assistant 2 for Mavic or DJI GO 4.
The most accurate way to calibrate the Vision System cameras is by using DJI Assistant 2 for Mavic. Follow the steps below to calibrate the Forward Vision System cameras, then repeat the steps to calibrate other Vision System cameras.

When a vision system calibration is required, DJI GO 4 sends a notification. If a computer is not nearby, however, a quick calibration can be performed in the app. Tap the Aircraft Status bar and Vision Sensors to start quick calibration.

• Quick calibration is only a quick fix for vision system issues. When possible, connect the aircraft to a computer to carry out a full calibration using DJI Assistant 2 for Mavic.
• Only calibrate on textured surfaces such as grass or when lighting conditions are adequate.
• Do not calibrate the aircraft on highly reflective surfaces such as marble or ceramic tiles.

Using the Vision Systems
The Downward Vision System and Infrared Sensing System activate automatically when the aircraft is turned on. No further action is required. When using the Downward Vision System, the aircraft can hover precisely even without GPS.

The Downward Vision System is typically used in indoor environments where GPS is unavailable. The Downward Vision System works best when the aircraft is at altitudes of 1.6 to 33 ft (0.5 to 11 m). Please note that the Vision Positioning function may be affected if the aircraft’s altitude is above 33ft (11 m).

Follow the steps below to use the Downward Vision System:

1. Ensure the aircraft is in P-mode and place the aircraft on a flat surface. Please note that the Downward Vision System cannot work properly on surfaces without clear pattern variations.

2. Turn on the aircraft. The aircraft hovers in place after takeoff. The Aircraft Status Indicators flash green twice, which indicates the Downward Vision System is working.

Using the Forward and Backward Vision Systems, the aircraft can actively brake when detecting obstacles in front. The Forward and Backward Vision Systems work best with adequate lighting and clearly marked or textured obstacles. To allow for sufficient time to break, the aircraft should not fly more than 31 mph (50 kph) when flying forward or more than 27 mph (42 kph) when flying backward.
The Lateral Vision Systems requires better lighting and more textured or clearly marked obstacles, and cannot sense dynamic objects, such as moving people, vehicles, tree branches, or blinking lights. The Lateral Vision Systems are only available in some Intelligent Flight Modes and Tripod Mode. The angular speed is limited to 24° /s and the lateral flight speed is limited to 18 mph (29 mph).

• Lateral Vision Systems have limited ability to sense and avoid obstacles, and the performance may be affected by the surrounding environment. Be sure to maintain line of sight with the aircraft and pay attention to prompts in DJI GO 4. DJI takes no responsibility for any aircraft that is damaged or lost while using Lateral Vision Systems.

• The Vision System cannot work properly over surfaces that DO NOT have clear pattern variations. The Vision System is only effective when the aircraft is at an altitude of 0.5 to 50 meters. Please note that the Vision Positioning function may be affected if the aircraft’s altitude is above 33 ft (11 m).

• The Auxiliary Bottom Light is automatically enabled when the environment light is too weak and the flight altitude is lower than 5 m. Please note that the Vision System cameras performance may be affected when the auxiliary bottom light is enabled. Fly with caution if the GPS signal is weak.

• The Vision System may NOT function properly when the aircraft is flying over water or snowcovered areas.

• Note that the Vision System may NOT function properly when the aircraft is flying too fast. Fly with caution when flying at over 10 m/s (32.8 ft/s) at 2 m (6.6 ft) or over 5 m/s (16.4 ft) at 1 m (3.3 ft).

• Operate the aircraft cautiously when in any of the following situations:
  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.
  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 obstruct the Infrared Sensing System.

• The Vision System may not be able to recognize patterns on the ground in low light conditions (less than 100 lux).

• If the aircraft speed exceeds 31 mph (50 kph), the Vision System does not have enough time to brake and stop the aircraft at a safe distance from an obstacle.

• If the aircraft experiences a collision, camera calibration is required. Calibrate the front cameras if DJI GO 4 prompts you to do so.

• Do not fly on days that are rainy, smoggy, or if there is no clear sight.

• Check the following every time before takeoff:
  a. Ensure there are no stickers or any other obstructions over the glass of the Infrared Sensing and Vision System.
  b. If there is any dirt, dust, or water on the glass of the Infrared Sensing and Vision System, clean it 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 and Vision System.

• The Upward Infrared Sensing System only detects straight line distances directly above the sensor and not the entire aircraft. Additionally, large obstacles such as roofs can be detected, but tiny obstacles such as leaves or electrical wires cannot. Fly with caution and do not rely solely on the Upward Infrared Sensing System to detect obstacles above the aircraft.

• Do not obstruct the Downward Vision System and Downward Infrared Sensing System before takeoff. Otherwise, the aircraft cannot take off again after landing and will have to be restarted.

Intelligent Flight Modes
The Mavic 2 Pro/Zoom supports Intelligent Flight Modes including Hyperlapse, QuickShots, ActiveTrack 2.0, Point of Interest (POI 2.0), Waypoints, TapFly, and Cinematic Mode. Select an Intelligent Flight Mode in DJI GO 4. Ensure the battery level is  sufficient and the aircraft is working on P-mode when using the Intelligent Flight Modes.

Hyperlapse
Hyperlapse shooting modes include Free, Circle, Course Lock, and Waypoint.

Free
The aircraft automatically takes photos and generates a timelapse video. Free mode can be used while the aircraft is on the ground.

QuickShots
QuickShots shooting modes include Dronie, Circle, Helix, Rocket, Boomerang, Asteroid, and Dolly Zoom (only available with Mavic 2 Zoom). The Mavic 2 Pro/Zoom records a video according to the selected shooting mode and then automatically generates a 10- second video. The video can then be viewed, edited, or shared to social media from Playback.
Dronie: The aircraft flies backward and ascends, with the camera locked on the subject.
Circle: The aircraft circles around the subject.
Helix: The aircraft ascends and spirals around the subject.
Rocket: The aircraft ascends with the camera pointing downward.
Boomerang: The aircraft flies around the subject in an oval path, ascending as it flies away from its starting point and descending as it flies back. The aircraft’s starting point forms one end of the oval’s long axis, while the other end of its long axis is at the  opposite side of the subject from the starting point.
Ensure there is sufficient space when using Boomerang: Allow a radius of at least 99 ft (30 m) around the aircraft and allow at least 33 ft (10 m) above the aircraft.
Asteroid: The aircraft flies backward and upward, takes several photos, and then flies back to the starting point. The video generated starts with a panorama of the highest position and then shows the descent. Ensure there is sufficient space when using Asteroid.  Allow at least 132 ft (40 m) behind and 164 ft (50 m) above the aircraft.
Dolly Zoom: The Mavic 2 Zoom flies backward and upward. It adjusts the zoom during flight to keep the selected subject the same while the background changes.
When planning to use Dolly Zoom, first select the distance between the aircraft and subject. Be sure that there is at least three times that distance available on the rear side of the aircraft so that there is sufficient space to fly.

Using QuickShots

3. For optimal performance, it is recommended to select a subject that is automatically recognized by the aircraft. To do so, select a subject that has been recognized onscreen and tap to confirm your selection. If the desired subject has not been recognized by  the aircraft, drag a selection around it onscreen and tap to select it manually. When the subject is selected manually, however, the ability of the aircraft to track the subject may be affected. If the box turns red, the object cannot be identified and it needs to  be selected again.

4. The aircraft automatically avoids obstacles in its flight path. If the aircraft loses track of the subject because it is moving too fast or is obscured, re-select the subject to resume tracking.

ActiveTrack 2.0 includes the following sub-modes:

Trace

The aircraft tracks the subject at a constant distance. Use the roll stick and tilt stick on the remote controller to change the distance, and use the slider in DJI GO 4 to fly in a circle around the subject. The framing of the subject is adjusted using the left stick and gimbal dial.
When detecting an obstacle in this sub-mode, the aircraft will behave as follows:

1. If any action is performed on the remote controller after an obstacle is detected, the aircraft brakes and hovers in place.
2. If no action is taken, the aircraft tries to avoid the obstacle.

Parallel

The aircraft tracks the subject at a constant angle and distance from the front and side. Use the roll stick on the remote control to fly in a circle around the subject.
The framing of the subject is adjusted using the left stick and gimbal dial. In this sub-mode, the aircraft brakes and hovers in place once an obstacle is detected.

Spotlight

The aircraft does not track a subject automatically, but keeps the camera pointed in the direction of the subject during flight. The remote controller is used to maneuver the aircraft, but control of orientation is disabled. The framing of the subject is adjusted using the left stick and gimbal dial. The aircraft brakes immediately when an obstacle is detected in this sub-mode.

• DO NOT use ActiveTrack 2.0 in areas with people, animals, small or fine objects (e.g., tree branches or power lines), or transparent objects (e.g., water or glass).

• Operate the aircraft manually (press the Flight Pause button or toggle the Flight Mode switch to S-mode on the remote controller) or tap in DJI GO 4 in an emergency.

• Be extra vigilant when using ActiveTrack 2.0 in any of the following situations:
  a. The tracked subject is not moving on a level plane.
  b. The tracked subject changes shape drastically while moving.
  c. The tracked subject is out of sight for an extended period.
  d. The tracked subject is moving on a snowy surface.
  e. The tracked subject has a similar color or pattern to its surrounding environment. f. A vailable light is too low (< 300 lux) or too high (> 10,000 lux).

• You must follow local privacy laws and regulations when using ActiveTrack 2.0.

• It is recommended to only track people (but not recommended to track children), vehicles, and boats. Fly with caution when tracking other subjects.

• The tracking subject may inadvertently swap to another subject if they pass nearby to each other.

• There are two options when selecting the tracking speed limit. Safe mode limits the speed to no more than 12 m/s and Max mode to no more than 20 m/s. Please note that the aircraft cannot avoid obstacles if the speed exceeds 12 m/s.

Point of Interest 2.0 (POI 2.0)
Select a static subject as the Point of Interest. Set the circle radius, flight altitude, and flight speed. The aircraft flies around the subject according to these settings. Mavic 2 Pro/Zoom supports selecting the POI through GPS positioning and selecting on the  screen.

1. Select POI on the screen: drag a box around the desired subject and tap the “GO” icon on the screen. The aircraft starts to measure the location of the subject and flies around the subject once it measures the location successfully. Use the gimbal dial to  adjust the subject framing. The circle radius, flight altitude, and flight speed can also be adjusted during flight.
   It is recommended to select a static subject (e.g., high-rise buildings, mountainous terrain) at a safe distance from the aircraft (further than 10 m). Do not select a subject that is too near the aircraft.
   Avoid selecting a subject without a clear pattern (e.g., a clear blue sky).
   Avoid selecting subjects that are too small.
   Select a subject with a clear outline. Otherwise, the subject may not be centered correctly onscreen.
   The aircraft cannot be controlled while the location is being measured, but the measuring can be stopped using the control sticks, Flight Pause button, Flight Mode switch, and the “STOP” icon.

2. Select a subject through GPS positioning: Manually fly the aircraft above the subject, and then press the C1 button or select in DJI GO 4 to confirm the subject. Fly the aircraft at least 5 m away from the Point of Interest. The flight speed and the circle  direction can be set in DJI GO 4. Tap “GO” to start flying. Use the gimbal dial to adjust the subject framing. The circle radius, flight altitude, and flight speed can also be adjusted during flight.
   The GPS positioning has no altitude measurement.
   It is recommended to adjust the gimbal tilt to -90° to make it easier to measure the GPS location.

Flight Parameter Settings

1. Flight Speed: Flight speed range is 0-10 m/s, the “+” value means the aircraft circles the point counter-clockwise, and the “–” value means the aircraft circles the point clockwise. Adjust the speed by sliding the onscreen slider, and use the roll stick on the  remote controller to increase the value.
2. Circle Radius: Adjust the radius by sliding the onscreen slider, and use the tilt stick on the remote controller to increase the value.

Video Distortion Correction
The Mavic 2 Pro and Mavic 2 Zoom shoot 8-bit videos while automatically correcting the video distortion commonly found in the medium. Only the Mavic 2 Pro, however, can shoot 10-bit videos. 10-bit videos are smoother than 8-bit videos, which is  advantageous for post-production color modulation. Please note that automatic video distortion correction is unavailable for 10-bit videos on the Mavic 2 Pro. There are several software programs available to correct video distortion such as DaVinci Resolve, Adobe Premiere, and Apple Final Cut Pro X. Videos with different resolutions have different types of distortion. The table below lists the recommended values to correct distortion when using different software. Please note that by correcting distortion, the overall quality of the video will diminish.

| DaVinci Resolve| **Adobe Premiere *| Apple Final Cut Pro X**
---|---|---|---
HQ| 0.18| -4| 0.02
Full FOV| 0.245| -9| 0.05
2.7K| 0.24| -8| 0.05
FHD 1080 24/25/30/48/60| 0.245| -9| 0.05
FHD 120P| 0.18| -4| 0.02

• Adobe Premiere uses preset parameters for distortion correction. Users do not need to manually input the value but need to select the video mode.

Remote Controller
Built into the remote controller is DJI’s long-range transmission technology OcuSync 2.0, offering a maximum transmission range of 5 mi (8 km) and displaying video from the aircraft to DJI GO 4 on your mobile device at up to 1080p. Easily control the aircraft  and camera using the onboard buttons. An onboard LCD screen gives real-time aircraft data information and the detachable control sticks make the remote controller easier to store.
In a wide-open area with no electromagnetic interference, OcuSync 2.0 smoothly transmits video links at up to 1080p, no matter how the flight attitude is changed. The remote controller works at both 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz, automatically selecting the best  transmission channel. OcuSync 2.0 reduces the latency to 120-130 ms by improving the camera performance through the video decoding algorithm and the wireless link.
Auto Focus is supported during shooting even in low light conditions. The Mavic 2 Pro supports aperture and shutter adjustment and the Mavic 2 Zoom supports zoom in/out by using the Zoom Adjustment Dial.
The built-in battery has a capacity of 3950 mAh and a maximum run time of 2 hours and 15 minutes.
The remote controller charges the mobile device with a charging ability of 500 mA@5V. The remote controller automatically charges Android devices. For iOS devices, first be sure that charging is enabled in DJI GO 4. Charging for iOS devices is disabled by  default and needs to be enabled each time the remote controller is powered on.

Using the Remote Controller
Press the Power button to display the current battery level on the LCD screen. Press once, then again, and hold to turn the remote controller on or off.

Charging the Battery
Connect the provided AC power adapter to the power port on the remote controller. It takes approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes to charge the remote controller battery fully. Remove the RC cable from the remote controller before charging.

Controlling the Camera
Use the Aperture/Shutter Adjustment Dial to adjust the aperture and shutter parameters (Mavic 2 Pro only).
Use the Record button to start/stop recording.
Use the Focus/Shutter button to auto focus and take photos.
Use the Zoom Adjustment Dial to zoom in/out (Mavic 2 Zoom only).

Controlling the Aircraft
The control sticks control the aircraft’s orientation (yaw), forward/ backward movement (pitch), altitude (throttle), and left/right movement (roll). The control stick mode determines the function of each control stick movement. Three preprogrammed modes  (Mode 1, Mode 2, and Mode 3) are available and custom modes can be configured in DJI GO 4. The default mode is Mode 2.
In each of the three pre-programmed modes, the Mavic 2 hovers in place at a constant orientation when both sticks are centered. Pushing a control stick away from the center position performs the functions shown in the figure below.

Remote Controller (Mode 2)| Aircraft
Indicates Nose Direction)| Remarks
---|---|---
| | Moving the left stick up or down changes the aircraft’s altitude. Push the stick up to ascend and down to descend. The more the stick is pushed away from the center position, the faster the aircraft will change altitude. Always push the stick gently to prevent sudden and unexpected changes in altitude.
| | Moving the left stick to the left or right controls the orientation of the aircraft. Push the stick left to rotate the aircraft counter-clockwise and right to rotate the aircraft clockwise. The more the stick is pushed away from the center position, the faster the aircraft will rotate.
| | Moving the right stick up and down changes the aircraft’s pitch. Push the stick up to fly forward and down to fly backward. The more the stick is pushed away from the center position, the faster the aircraft will move.
| | Moving the right stick to the left or right changes the aircraft’s roll. Push the stick left to fly left and right to fly right. The more the stick is pushed away from the center position, the faster the aircraft will move.

It is recommended to remove the control sticks and store in the storage slots on the remote controller during storage or transportation to avoid damage.

Regardless of which position the switch is in on the remote controller, the Mavic 2 Pro/Zoom begins in P-mode by default. To switch flight modes, first go to Camera View in DJI GO 4, tap and enable “Multiple Flight Modes”. After enabling multiple flight modes, toggle the switch to P and then to S or T to switch flight modes.
RTH Button
Press and hold the RTH button to start the Return to Home (RTH) procedure where the aircraft returns to the last recorded Home Point. Press this button again to cancel RTH and regain control of the aircraft. Refer to the Return to Home section for more  information about RTH.

C1 and C2 Button
The functions of the C1 and C2 buttons are set in DJI GO 4. The default configuration for the C1 button is Center Focus and the default configuration for the C2 button is Playback.
Remote Controller Alert
The remote controller sounds an alert during RTH or when the battery level is low (6% to 15%). The RTH and low battery alert level can be cancelled by pressing the power button. The critical battery level alert (less than 6%), however, can not be cancelled.
Optimal Transmission Zone
The signal between the aircraft and the remote controller is most reliable when the antennas are positioned in relation to the aircraft as depicted below.

Ensure that the aircraft is flying within the optimal transmission zone. To maintain optimal transmission performance, adjust the remote controller and antennas according to the figure above.

LCD Screen
The LCD Screen displays various system statuses including real-time flight telemetry and battery levels.
Refer to the figure below for the meaning of each icon on the LCD Screen.

Dual Remote Controller Mode
The Mavic 2 Pro/Zoom supports Dual Remote Controller Mode, which allows two remote controllers to connect to the same aircraft.

Both the Primary remote controller and the Secondary remote controller can control the orientation of the aircraft and the movement of the gimbal and camera operation.
Please note the different operations of the Primary and Secondary remote controller listed below.

1. Gimbal Dial
   Both the Primary remote controller and the Secondary remote controller can control the gimbal dial, but the Primary remote controller has priority. For example, the Secondary remote controller is unable to control the gimbal dial when the Primary remote controller is using the gimbal dial. After the Primary remote controller has stopped controlling the gimbal dial for two seconds or more, the Secondary remote controller can control the gimbal dial.

2. Control Stick
   Both the Primary remote controller and the Secondary remote controller can control the orientation of the aircraft using control sticks. The Primary remote controller has priority. The Secondary remote controller is unable to control the aircraft’s  orientation when the Primary remote controller is operating the control sticks. After the control sticks are idle for two seconds or more, the Secondary remote controller can control the aircraft’s orientation.
   If the control sticks on the Primary remote controller are pushed down and inward, the motors of the aircraft stop. If the same action is performed on the Secondary remote controller, however, the aircraft does not respond.
   The control sticks on the Primary remote controller need to be released so that the Secondary remote controller can control the aircraft.

3. Flight Mode Switch
   The flight mode can only be switched on the Primary remote controller. The Flight Mode Switch is disabled on the Secondary remote controller.

4. DJI GO 4 Settings
   The display and parameter settings for the Primary and Secondary remote controllers in DJI GO 4 are the same. The Secondary remote controller can only configure the flight controller, vision system, video transmission, and Intelligent Flight Battery.  Display and parameter settings for the Primary and Secondary remote controllers are the same in DJI GO 4.

Linking the Remote Controller
The remote controller is linked to your aircraft before delivery. Linking is only required when using a new remote controller for the first time. Follow these steps to link a new remote controller:

1. Power on the aircraft and the remote controller.
2. Launch DJI GO 4.
3. Enter “Camera” and tap on and then tap the button to confirm. The remote controller is ready to link.
4. Locate the link button on the side of the aircraft, as shown in the figure below. Press the link button to start linking. The Linking Status Indicator displays solid green once the remote controller successfully links to the aircraft, and the LCD screen on the  remote controller displays the aircraft’s information.

• Ensure the remote controller is within 1.6 ft (0.5 m) of the aircraft during linking.
• The remote controller will unlink itself from an aircraft if a new remote controller links to the same aircraft.
• In Dual Remote Controller Mode, the Secondary remote controller must also be relinked to the aircraft when the Primary remote controller is relinked to the aircraft.
• Fully charge the remote controller before each flight.
• If the remote controller is powered on and is NOT in use for five minutes, an alert will sound.
• After 10 minutes, it will automatically power off. Move the sticks to cancel the alert.
• Adjust the mobile device clamp to ensure the mobile device is secure.
• Ensure the antennas of the remote controller are unfolded and adjusted to the proper position to achieve optimal transmission quality.
• Repair or replace the remote controller if damaged. A damaged remote controller antenna greatly decreases performance.
• Fully charge the battery at least once every three months to maintain battery health.
• Ensure the control sticks are mounted securely.

Calibrating the Compass
It is recommended that the compass is calibrated in any of the following situations when flying outdoors:

1. Flying at a location farther than 31 miles (50 km) away from the location the drone was last flown.
2. The aircraft has not been flown for more than 30 days.
3. Acompass interference warning appears in DJI GO 4 and/or the Aircraft Status Indicators blink alternating red and yellow.
   DO NOT calibrate the compass in locations where magnetic interference may occur, such as close to magnetite deposits or large metallic structures such as parking structures, steel reinforced basements, bridges, cars, or scaffolding.
   DO NOT carry objects (such as cell phones) that contain ferromagnetic materials near the aircraft during calibration.
   It is not necessary to calibrate the compass when flying indoors.

Calibration Procedure
Choose an open area to carry out the following procedure.

1. Tap the System Status Bar in DJI GO 4, select “Calibrate”, and follow the on-screen instructions.
2. Hold the aircraft horizontally and rotate it 360 degrees. The Aircraft Status Indicator will turn solid green.
3. Hold the aircraft vertically, with its nose pointing downward, and rotate it 360 degrees around a vertical axis.
