Aircraft
Mavic Mini contains a flight controller, video downlink system, vision system, propulsion system, and an Intelligent Flight Battery. Refer to the aircraft diagram in the Product Profile section for more information.
Flight Modes
Mavic Mini has three flight modes, plus a fourth flight mode that the aircraft switches to in certain situations: Position Mode: Positon mode works best when the GPS signal is strong. The aircraft utilizes GPS and the Vision System to locate itself and stabilize. Intelligent Flight Mode is enabled in this mode. When the Downward Vision System is enabled and lighting conditions are sufficient, the maximum flight altitude angle is 20° and the maximum flight speed is 8 m/s. The aircraft automatically changes to Attitude (ATTI) mode when the Vision System is unavailable or disabled and when the GPS signal is weak or the compass experiences interference. When the 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. Sport Mode: In Sport mode, the aircraft uses GPS and 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 13 m/s, maximum ascent speed is 4 m/s, and maximum descent speed is 3 m/s. CineSmooth Mode: CineSmooth mode is based on Position mode and the flight speed is limited, making the aircraft more stable during shooting. The maximum flight speed is 4 m/s, maximum ascent speed is 1.5 m/s, and maximum descent speed is 1 m/s.
The aircraft’s maximum speed and braking distance 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 aircraft’s responsiveness 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.

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 types of RTH in detail. RTH will also be triggered if the video link is disconnected.

Mavic Mini User Manual

Home Point

GPS
10

Description
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 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 sufficiently strong, 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
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 Fly 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 10 second countdown. 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 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 direction during the landing process.
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.
Other RTH Scenarios
If the video link signal is lost during flight while the remote controller is still able to control the movements of the aircraft, there will be a prompt to initiate RTH. RTH can be cancelled.
RTH Procedure
1. The Home Point is recorded. 2. RTH is triggered. 3. If the altitude is lower than 20 m, the aircraft ascends to the RTH altitude or 20 m, and then adjusts
its orientation. If the altitude is higher than 20 m, the aircraft adjusts its orientation immediately. 4. a. If the aircraft is further than 20 m from the Home Point when the RTH procedure begins, it ascends
to the preset RTH altitude and flies to the Home Point at a speed of 8 m/s. If the current altitude is higher than the RTH altitude, the aircraft flies to the Home Point at the current altitude.

The aircraft cannot return to the Home Point if the GPS signal is weak or unavailable. If the GPS signal become weak or unavailable after RTH is triggered, the aircraft will hover in place for a while, and then start landing.
It is important to set a suitable RTH altitude before each flight. Launch DJI Fly, and then set the RTH altitude. In Smart RTH and Low Battery RTH, the aircraft automatically ascends to the RTH 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. The aircraft will fly directly to the Home Point at its current altitude.
During RTH, the aircraft’s speed, altitude, and the orientation can be controlled using the remote controller or DJI Fly if the remote controller signal is normal, but the direction of flight cannot be controlled.
GEO zones will affect RTH.
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 gently land on suitable ground. 2. If Landing Protection determines that the ground is not suitable for landing, Mavic Mini will hover and
wait for pilot confirmation. 3. If Landing Protection is not operational, DJI Fly will display a landing prompt when Mavic Mini
descends below 0.5 meters. Pull down on the throttle stick or use the auto landing slider to land.

Gimbal Operation Modes
Two gimbal operation modes are available. Switch between the different operation modes in DJI Fly. Follow Mode: The angle between the gimbal’s orientation and aircraft front remains constant at all times.
FPV Mode: The gimbal synchronizes with the movement of the aircraft to provide a first-person flying experience.
When the aircraft is powered on, do not tap or knock the gimbal. To protect the gimbal during takeoff, take off from open, flat surfaces. Precision elements in the gimbal may be damaged in a collision or impact, which may cause the gimbal to function abnormally. Avoid getting dust or sand on the gimbal, especially in the gimbal motors. A gimbal motor error may occur in the following situations: a. The aircraft is on uneven ground or the gimbal is obstructed. b. The gimbal experiences excessive external force, such as a collision. DO NOT apply external force to the gimbal after the gimbal is powered on. DO NOT add any extra payload to the gimbal as this may cause the gimbal to function abnormally or even lead to permanent motor damage.

These specifications have been determined through tests conducted with the latest firmware. Firmware updates can enhance performance. It is highly recommended to update to the latest firmware.

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 further 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. A compass interference warning appears in DJI Fly and/or the aircraft status indicator blinks red and
yellow alternatively.
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 mobile 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 Settings in DJI Fly, select “Control” and then select “Calibrate”, and follow the on-
screen instructions. The aircraft status indicator grows yellow, indicating calibration has start.

Mavic Mini User Manual 2. Hold the aircraft horizontally and rotate it 360 degrees. The aircraft status indicator will turn solid
green. 3. Hold the aircraft vertically and rotate it 360 degrees around a vertical axis. 4. If the aircraft status indicator blinks red, the calibration has failed. Change your location and try the
calibration procedure again.
If the aircraft status indicator blinks red and yellow alternatively after calibration is completed, this indicates that the current location is not suitable for flying the aircraft, due to the level of magnetic interference. Change your location. A prompt will appear in DJI Fly if compass calibration is required before takeoff. The aircraft can take off immediately once calibration is complete. If you wait more than three minutes to take off after calibration, you may need to repeat the calibration process.
