Product Profile
Introduction
DJI Avata 2 is a compact and portable FPV camera drone equipped with built-in
propeller guards. The aircraft uses both GNSS and a Vision System, allowing
for stable hovering and smooth aerobatic maneuvers while flying both indoors
and out. With a gimbal and 1/1.3 sensor camera, the aircraft shoots stable 4K
60fps ultra-HD video and 4K photos. The maximum flight time of the aircraft is
approximately 23 minutes [1]. When the aircraft is used with the compatible
goggles and remote control devices in an unobstructed, interference-free
environment, the maximum video transmission range can reach 8 mi (13 km) [2],
with a bitrate up to 60 Mbps, providing an immersive flight experience. DJI
Goggles 3 (hereinafter referred to as goggles) are equipped with two high-
performance screens, giving you a real-time FPV experience. To provide a more
comfortable experience for users who wear glasses or have visual impairments,
the goggles support diopter adjustment so that glasses are not required during
use. There are two cameras on the front side of the goggles, so users can view
the surrounding environment via Real View without having to take off the
goggles. With DJI Goggles 3 and DJI RC Motion 3 (hereinafter referred to as
motion controller), users can easily and intuitively control the aircraft, and
enjoy a new and convenient flight control experience.
[1] The maximum flight time of the aircraft is measured at a constant flying
speed of 21.6 kph in a windless environment at sea level, with camera
parameters set to 1080p/30fps, video mode off, and from 100% battery level
until 0%. Data is for reference only. Always pay attention to reminders on the
goggle screen during your flight.
[2] The remote control devices reach their maximum transmission distance (FCC)
in a wide open area with no electromagnetic interference at an altitude of
about 120 m (400 ft). The maximum transmission distance refers to the maximum
distance that the aircraft can still send and receive transmissions. It does
not refer to the maximum distance the aircraft can fly in a single flight.

DJI Avata 2 User Manual
Flight Safety
After completing pre-flight preparations, it is recommended to train your
flying skills and practice flying safely. Pick a suitable area to fly in
according to the following flight requirements and restrictions. Strictly
abide by local laws and regulations when flying. Read the Safety Guidelines
before flight to ensure safe use of the product.
Flight Restrictions
GEO (Geospatial Environment Online) System
The DJI Geospatial Environment Online (GEO) System is a global information
system that provides real-time information on flight safety and restriction
updates and prevents UAVs from flying in restricted airspace. Under
exceptional circumstances, restricted areas can be unlocked to allow flights
in. Prior to that, the user must submit an unlocking request based on the
current restriction level in the intended flight area. The GEO system may not
fully comply with local laws and regulations. Users shall be responsible for
their own flight safety and must consult with the local authorities on the
relevant legal and regulatory requirements before requesting to unlock a
flight in a restricted area. For more information about the GEO system, visit
https://fly-safe.dji.com.
Flight Limits
For safety reasons, flight limits are enabled by default to help users operate
this aircraft safely. Users can set flight limits on height and distance.
Altitude limits, distance limits, and GEO zones function concurrently to
manage flight safety when GNSS is available. Only altitude can be limited when
GNSS is unavailable.
Flight Altitude and Distance Limits
Max altitude restricts the flight altitude of the aircraft, while max distance
restricts the flight radius around the Home Point. These limits can be set
using the goggles for improved flight safety.

reached.
· The altitude is restricted to 50 m from the takeoff point if lighting is not sufficient and the infrared sensing system is not operating.
No limits
· Each time the aircraft is powered on, the altitude limit of 3 m or 50 m will
be automatically removed as long as the GNSS signal ever becomes strong (GNSS
signal display white or yellow) once, and the limit will not take effect even
if the GNSS signal becomes weak afterwards.
· If the aircraft flies out of the set flight range due to inertia, users can
still control the aircraft but cannot fly it any further. If the aircraft
flies above the altitude limit, it will descend below the altitude limit at 5
m/s. If the aircraft flies into an Altitude Zone, landing will be triggered
after a 100-second countdown.
· For safety reasons, DO NOT fly the aircraft close to airports, highways,
railway stations, railway lines, city centers, or other sensitive areas. Only
fly the aircraft within a visual line of sight.
GEO Zones
The DJI GEO system designates safe flight locations, provides risk levels and
safety notices for individual flights and offers information on restricted
airspace. All restricted flight areas are referred to as GEO Zones, which are
further divided into Restricted Zones, Authorization Zones, Warning Zones,
Enhanced Warning Zones, and Altitude Zones. Users can view such information in
real-time in DJI Fly. GEO Zones are specific flight areas, including but not
limited to airports, large event venues, locations where public emergencies
have occurred (such as forest fires), nuclear power plants, prisons,
government properties, and military facilities. By default, the GEO system
limits takeoffs and flights in zones that may cause safety or security
concerns. A GEO Zone map that contains comprehensive information on GEO Zones
around the globe is available on the official DJI website: https://fly-
safe.dji.com/nfz/nfz-query.
27 © 2024 DJI All Rights Reserved.
DJI Avata 2 User Manual
Unlocking GEO Zones
To satisfy the needs of different users, DJI provides two unlocking modes:
Self-Unlocking and Custom Unlocking. Users may make a request on the DJI Fly
Safe website. Self-Unlocking is intended for unlocking Authorization Zones. To
complete Self-Unlocking, the user must submit an unlocking request via the DJI
Fly Safe website at https://fly-safe.dji.com. Once the unlocking request is
approved, the user may synchronize the unlocking license through the DJI Fly
app. Alternatively, to unlock a zone, the user may launch or fly the aircraft
directly into the approved Authorization Zone and follow the prompts in DJI
Fly to unlock the zone. Custom Unlocking is tailored for users with special
requirements. It designates user-defined custom flight areas and provides
flight permission documents specific to the needs of different users. This
unlocking option is available in all countries and regions and can be
requested via the DJI Fly Safe website at https://www.dji.com/flysafe.
· To ensure flight safety, the aircraft will not be able to fly out of the
unlocked zone after entering it. If the Home Point is outside the unlocked
zone, the aircraft will not be able to return home.
28© 2024 DJI All Rights Reserved.
DJI Avata 2 User Manual
Flight Environment Requirements
1. DO NOT operate the aircraft in severe weather conditions including wind
speeds exceeding 10.7 m/s, snow, thunder and lightning, rain, and fog.
2. Only fly in open areas. Tall buildings and large metal structures may
affect the accuracy of the onboard compass and GNSS system. Therefore, DO NOT
take off from a balcony or anywhere within 15 m of buildings. Keep a distance
of at least 15 m from buildings during flight. After takeoff, make sure you
are notified with the message prompt “Home Point has been updated” before
continuing flight. If the aircraft has taken off near buildings, the accuracy
of the Home Point cannot be guaranteed. In this case, pay close attention to
the current position of the aircraft during auto RTH. When the aircraft is
close to the Home Point, it is recommended to cancel auto RTH and manually
control the aircraft to land at an appropriate location.
3. When the GNSS signal is weak, fly the aircraft in environments with good
lighting and visibility. The vision system may not work properly in poor light
conditions. Only fly the aircraft in the daytime.
4. Avoid obstacles, crowds, trees, and bodies of water (recommended height is
at least 6 m above water).
5. Minimize interference by avoiding areas with high levels of
electromagnetism, such as locations near power lines, base stations,
electrical substations, and broadcasting towers.
6. Try to keep a distance of more than 200 m from strong electromagnetic wave
interference sites, such as radar stations, microwave relay stations, mobile
communication base stations, and drone jamming equipment.
7. The performance of the aircraft and its battery is limited when flying at
altitudes above 5000 m (16,404 ft). Fly with caution.
8. The braking distance of the aircraft is affected by the flight altitude.
The higher the altitude, the greater the braking distance. When flying at an
altitude above 3000 m (9843 ft), the user should reserve at least 20 m for
vertical braking distance and 25 m for horizontal braking distance to ensure
flight safety.
9. GNSS cannot be used on the aircraft in polar regions. Use the vision
system instead. 10. DO NOT take off from moving objects, such as cars and
ships. 11. DO NOT take off from solid-colored surfaces or surfaces with strong
reflections such as a
car roof. 12. DO NOT operate the aircraft in an environment where there is
risk of risk of a fire or
explosion. 13. Operate the aircraft, goggles, remote control device, battery,
battery charger, and the
battery charging hub in a dry environment. 14. DO NOT use the aircraft,
goggles, remote control device, battery, battery charger, and
the battery charging hub near accidents, fire, explosions, floods, tsunamis,
avalanches, landslides, earthquakes, dust, sandstorms, salt spray, or fungus.
15. DO NOT operate the aircraft near bird flocks. 16. DO NOT use the battery
charger in humid environments.

Flight Modes
The aircraft supports the following flight modes. Flight modes can be switched
between Normal mode and Sport mode using the Mode button on the motion
controller. Normal Mode: The aircraft can hover precisely and fly with
stability in this mode, making it suitable for most flight scenarios. Sport
Mode: The maximum horizontal flight speed of the aircraft will increase in
Sport mode. Manual Mode: Classic FPV aircraft control mode with the highest
maneuverability. In Manual mode, all flight assistance functions including
precise hovering and auto-brake are disabled and proficient control skills are
required. In Normal or Sport mode, the aircraft will experience horizontal
drift and RTH will be unavailable when the downward vision system is
unavailable or disabled and when the GNSS signal is weak or the compass
experiences interference. In this case, the aircraft cannot hover or brake
automatically. Land the aircraft as soon as possible in order to avoid
accidents. Avoid flying in confined spaces, or in areas where the GNSS signal
is weak or the lighting is not sufficient.
· For safety reasons, the aircraft flies in Beginner mode by default for the
first flight. In Beginner mode, the maximum flight speed of the aircraft is 1
m/s. To exit Beginner mode, open the menu on the goggles, go to Settings >
Control > Beginner Mode.
· Manual mode is only supported when using the DJI FPV Remote Controller 3 to
operate the aircraft. Throttle stick resistance can also be adjusted. DJI
Motion Controller 3 does not support Manual mode. Refer to the DJI FPV Remote
Controller 3 User Manual for more information on Manual mode.
· A minimum braking distance of 10 m is required in windless conditions while
the aircraft is ascending and descending in Sport mode or Normal mode.
· The maximum flight speed and braking distance of the aircraft significantly
increases in Sport mode. A minimum braking distance of 30 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 control device
translates into the aircraft moving a large distance. Make sure to maintain
adequate maneuvering space during flight.

Return to Home
The Return to Home (RTH) function will automatically fly the aircraft back to the last recorded Home Point. RTH can be triggered in three ways: the user actively triggers RTH, the aircraft has low battery, or the remote control signal or video transmission signal has been lost (Failsafe RTH is triggered). If the aircraft records the Home Point successfully and the positioning system is functioning normally, when the RTH function is triggered, the aircraft will automatically fly back and land at the Home Point.
Home Point
GNSS
10
Description
The first location where the aircraft receives a strong to moderately strong
GNSS signal (indicated by a white icon) will be recorded as the default Home
Point. The Home Point can be updated when taking off as long as the aircraft
receives another strong to moderately strong GNSS signal. If the signal is
weak, the Home Point will not be updated. The aircraft status indicator blinks
green quickly and a prompt appears in the goggles to confirm the Home Point
has been updated.
During flight an H symbol is displayed in the goggles to indicate the location of the last recorded Home Point of the aircraft.
Warnings
· During RTH, obstacles around and above the aircraft cannot be detected or
avoided. · The aircraft cannot return to the Home Point if the GNSS signal is
weak or unavailable.
If the GNSS signal becomes weak or unavailable after Failsafe RTH is
triggered, the aircraft will automatically descend and land. · Make sure set
the RTH altitude before each flight. Go to Settings > Safety on the goggles
and set a suitable RTH altitude. · GEO Zones will affect RTH. The aircraft
will hover if it flies into a GEO Zone during RTH. · The aircraft may not be
able to return to the Home Point when the wind speed is too high. Fly with
caution. · When the aircraft is flying in an environment surrounded by
obstacles (such as near tall buildings), or when the GNSS signal is weak, the
location of the Home Point may be inaccurate, leading to a large error in the
horizontal distance between the aircraft and the Home Point displayed on the
goggles. Fly with caution.
Trigger Method
The user actively triggers RTH Press and hold the Mode button on the motion
controller to initiate RTH. The aircraft will fly back to the last updated
Home Point. When the aircraft is performing RTH, press the lock button
44© 2024 DJI All Rights Reserved.
DJI Avata 2 User Manual
once to cancel RTH. After exiting RTH, users will regain control of the
aircraft.
Aircraft low battery When the battery level is low and only sufficient to fly
to the Home Point, a warning prompt will appear in the goggles and RTH will be
triggered following the prompt. RTH can be canceled using the remote control
devices. If RTH is canceled following a low battery warning, the Intelligent
Flight Battery may not have enough power for the aircraft to land safely,
which may lead to the aircraft being crashed or lost. The aircraft will land
automatically if the current battery level can only support the aircraft long
enough to descend from its current altitude. Auto landing cannot be canceled,
but the remote control devices can be used to control the horizontal movement
of the aircraft during landing.
Loss of remote control or video transmission signal When the remote control
signal or video transmission signal is lost, the aircraft will automatically
initiate Failsafe RTH if the Signal Lost Action is set to RTH. The aircraft
will fly backwards 50 m along its original flight route and then perform the
RTH procedure. The aircraft will directly perform the RTH procedure if the
signal is restored when flying backward along the original flight route.
· The response of the aircraft when the wireless signal is lost can be
modified in the goggles. The aircraft will not perform Failsafe RTH if land or
hover has been selected in the settings.
RTH Procedure
1. The Home Point is recorded. 2. RTH is triggered. 3. When RTH begins, the
RTH procedure varies according to different RTH distances (the
horizontal distance between the aircraft and the Home Point): a. The aircraft
lands immediately if the RTH distance is less than 5 m. b. If the RTH distance
is farther than 5 m but less than 20 m, it flies to the Home Point in a
straight line at the current altitude. c. If RTH distance is farther than 20
m, it ascends to the RTH altitude and flies back to the
Home Point. The aircraft flies to the Home Point at the current altitude if
the RTH altitude is lower than the current altitude. 4. The aircraft begins to
land when it reaches the spot above the Home Point.
Landing Protection
Landing Protection activates during RTH and auto landing. 1. During Landing
Protection, the aircraft will automatically detect and carefully land on
suitable ground. 2. If the ground is determined unsuitable for landing, the
aircraft will hover and wait for pilot
confirmation.
45 © 2024 DJI All Rights Reserved.
DJI Avata 2 User Manual
3. If Landing Protection is not operational, the goggles will display a
landing prompt when the aircraft descends to 0.25 m. Press and hold the lock
button on the motion controller and the aircraft will land. · Landing
Protection only assists in determining the landing environment. Pay attention
to the surrounding environment during landing to ensure safety. · In the
following situations, Landing Protection may be unavailable and the aircraft
may land directly on unsuitable ground: a. Flying over monochrome, reflective,
or low-light surfaces, a large area of surfaces without clear texture, or
surfaces with dynamic texture, such as smooth ceramic tiles, garage ground
with insufficient light, and grass blowing in the wind; b. Flying over
obstacles without clear texture, such as large rocks, or reflective or
monochrome surfaces, such as raised tiles; c. Flying over small or fine
obstacles, such as power lines and tree branches; d. Flying over surfaces that
are similar to flat ground, such as trimmed and flat shrubs, flat tree tops,
and hemispherical ground. · In the following situations, Landing Protection
may be triggered by mistake and a prompt will appear in the goggles that the
aircraft is unable to land: a. Flying over surfaces that the vision system may
confuse for water, such as wet ground and areas with puddles; b. Flying over
flat surfaces, but there are surfaces with clear texture (oblique surfaces or
stairs) nearby, such as monochrome car tops and monochrome tables.

which can effectively reduce the highenergy shortwave blue light and its
emission range, therefore protecting users from exposure to harmful blue
light. DJI Goggles 3 has obtained the Low Blue Light certification. It is
highly recommended to follow the instructions below to protect your eyes
against prolonged display use: · Look away from the screen and then at a
distant place for 20 seconds every 20 minutes. · Rest your eyes for 10 minutes

GEO Awareness
Drone Geo-Zones UGZ Zone and DJI Geo Zone DJI is committed to maintaining a
safe flying environment. This includes abiding by local regulations and
Unmanned Geographical Zones (UGZs) defined by EU national authorities. DJI has
its own Geospatial Environment Online system (GEO) with broader geographical
zones, including regulated areas where flight may raise concerns. DJI’s GEO
system has been running successfully for many years, effectively protecting
flight safety and public safety in the absence of official UGZ databases. In
the future, DJI Geo zones will coexist with EU UGZs, as UGZs are still not
available in many countries. Users are responsible for checking local
regulations and for any flight restrictions where they intend to operate. The
GEO zones mentioned in the manual and DJI official website refers to the DJI
Geo zones and Geo fencing function, not the UGZs for Geo awareness function
required by regulations. GEO Awareness contains the features listed below. UGZ
(Unmanned Geographical Zone) Data update: user can update the FlySafe data by
using the data update feature automatically or storing the data in the
aircraft manually. · Method 1: Go to Settings in DJI Fly, tap About > FlySafe
Data, tap Check for Updates to
update the FlySafe data automatically. · Method 2: Check on website of your
national aviation authority regularly and obtain latest
UGZ data to import to your aircraft. Go to Settings in DJI Fly, tap About >
FlySafe Data, tap Import from Files, and then follow the on-screen
instructions to store and import the UGZ data manually. Note: A prompt will
appear in the DJI Fly app when the import completes successfully. If the
import fails due to improper data format, follow the on-screen prompt and
retry. GEO Awareness Map Drawing: after the latest UGZ data is updated, a
flight map with a restricted zone will be displayed in the DJI Fly app. Name,
effective time, height limit, etc., can be viewed by tapping the area.

GEO Awareness Pre-Warning: the app will prompt the user with warning
information when the aircraft is near or in a restricted area, the horizontal
distance is less than 160 m, or the vertical distance is less than 40 m from
the zone to remind the user to fly with caution.
· Before takeoff, users must download the latest GEO Zone data from the
official aviation regulation website of the country or region where the
aircraft is being used. It is the responsibility of the user to make sure that
the GEO zone data is the latest version and that it is applied to every
flight.
AGL (Above Ground Level) Statement The vertical part of “Geo-awareness” may
use the AMSL altitude or the AGL height. The choice between these two
references is specified individually for each UGZ. Neither AMSL altitude nor
the AGL height is supported by DJI Avata 2. The height H appears in the DJI
Fly app camera view, which is the height from the aircraft takeoff point to
the aircraft. The height above the takeoff point may be used as an
approximation but may differ more or less from the given altitude/ height for
a specific UGZ. The remote pilot remains responsible for not breaching the
vertical limits of the UGZ.
