Product Profile
Introduction
DJI Air 2S features both an Infrared Sensing System and Forward, Backward, Upward, and Downward Vision Systems, allowing for hovering and flying indoors as well as outdoors and for automatic Return to Home. The aircraft has a maximum flight speed of 42 mph (68.4 kph) and a maximum flight time of 31 minutes. The remote controller displays the video transmission from the aircraft to DJI Fly on a mobile device and the aircraft and camera are easy to control using the onboard buttons. The maximum runtime of the remote controller is six hours.

Feature Highlights
Intelligent Flight Modes: With ActiveTrack 4.0, Spotlight 2.0, and Point of Interest 3.0, the aircraft follows or flies around a subject automatically while sensing obstacles in its path. The user can focus on operating the aircraft while the Advanced Pilot Assistance System 4.0 enables the aircraft to avoid obstacles.
Advanced Shooting Modes: Capture complicated shots effortlessly with features such as MasterShots, Hyperlapse, and QuickShots. With just a few taps, the aircraft will take off to record according to the preset path and generate a professional standard videoautomatically.
Gimbal and Camera: DJI Air 2S uses a 1-inch CMOS sensor camera, which can shoot 20MP photos and 5.4K 30 fps, 4K 60fps, and 1080p120 fps video. 10 bit D-Log video is also supported, making it easier for users to adjust colors during editing.
Video Transmission: DJI Air 2S boasts four built-in antennas and DJI’s long- rang e transmission O3 (OCUSYNCTM 3.0) technology, offering a maximum transmission range of 12 km and video quality of up to 1080p from the aircraft to the DJI Fly app on a mobile device. The remote controller works at both 2.4 and 5.8 GHz, and is capable of selecting the best transmission channel automatically without latency.

Maximum flight time was tested in an environment with no wind while flying at a consistent mph ( . 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

ft ( m). 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.

The maximum runtime was tested in a laboratory environment and without charging the mobile

device. This value is for reference only.

. GHz is not supported in some regions. Observe the local laws and regulations.

Aircraft
DJI Air 2S contains a flight controller, video downlink system, vision systems, infrared sensing system, propulsion system, and an Intelligent Flight Battery.
Flight Modes
DJI Air 2S 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 Modeswitch on the remote controller. Normal Mode: The aircraft utilizes GNSS and the Forward, Backward, Upwadr and Downward Vision Systems and Infrared Sensing System to locate itself and stabilize. When the GNSS signal is strong, the aircraft uses GNSS to locate itself and stabilize. When the GNSS is weak but the lighting and other environment conditions are sufficient, the aircraft uses the vision systems to locate itself and stabilize. When the Forward, Backward, Upward and Downward Vision Systems are enabled and lighting and other environment conditions are sufficient, the maximum flight altitude angle is 35° and the maximum flight speed is 15 m/s. Sport Mode: In Sport Mode, the aircraft uses GNSS for positioning and the aircraft responses are optimized for agility and speed making it more responsive to control stick movements. The maximum flight speed is 19 m/s. Obstacle sensing is disabled in Sportmode. Cine Mode: Cine mode is based on Normal mode and the flight speed is limited, making the aircraft more stable during shooting. The aircraft automatically changes to Attitude (ATTI) modewhen the Vision Systems are unavailable or disabled and when the GNSS signal is weak or the compass experiences interference. 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 Forward, Backward and Upward Vision Systems are disabled in Sport mode, which means the aircraft cannot sense obstacles on its route automatically. 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. A minimum braking distance of 10 m is required in windless conditions while the aircraft is ascending and descending. 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. Make sure to maintain adequate maneuvering space during flight.

Return to Home

Return to Home (RTH) returns the aircraft to the lastrecorded Home Point when the positioning system is functioning normally. There are three types of RTH: Smart RTH, Low Battery RTH, and Failsafe RTH. The aircraft automatically flies back to the Home Point and lands when Smart RTH is initiated, the aircraft enters Low Battery RTH, or the video link signal is lost during flight.

Home Point

GNSS
10

Description
The default Home Point is the first location where the aircraft received a strong to moderately strong GNSS signal where the icon is white. The Home Point can be updated before takeoff as long as the aircraftreceives a strong to moderately strong GNSS. If the GNSS signal is weak then the Home Point cannot be updated.

Smart RTH If the GNSS 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 until it beeps. Exit Smart RTH by tapping in DJI Fly or by pressing the RTH button on the remote controller.
Smart RTH includes Straight Line RTH and Power Saving RTH. Straight Line RTH Procedure: 1. The Home Point is recorded. 2. Smart RTH is triggered. 3. a. If the aircraft is farther than 50 m from the Home Point when the RTH procedure begins, the aircraft
adjusts its orientation and ascends to the preset RTH altitude and flies to the Home Point. If the current altitude is higher than the RTH altitude, the aircratf flies to the Home Point at the current altitude. b. If the aircraft is at a distance of 5 to 50 m from the Home Point when the RTH procedure begins, the aircraft adjusts its orientation and flies to the Home Point at the current altitude. c. If the aircraft is less than 5 m from the Home Point w hen the RTH procedure begins, it lands immediately. 4. After reaching the Home Point, the aircraft lands and the motors stop.
If the RTH is triggered through DJI Fly and the aircraft is farther than 5 m from the Home Point, a prompt will appear in the app for users to select a landing option.

Power Saving RTH Procedure: During Straight Line RTH, if the distance is farther than 480 mand the altitude is more than 90 m above the RTH altitude as well as more than 290 m above the takeoff altitude, a prompt appears in DJI Fly asking the user if they wish to enter Power Saving RTH. After entering Power Saving RTH, the aircraft adjusts to an angle of 14° and flies to the Home Point. The aircraft lands when it is above the Home Point and the motors stop. The aircraft exits from power saving RTH and enter StraightLine RTH in the following scenarios:

DJI Air 2S User Manual
1. If the pitch stick is pulled down. 2. If the remote controller signal is lost. 3. If the Vision Systems become unavailable.
Area of where Power Saving RTH is triggered Aircraft triggers Power Saving RTH Descent of aircraft in Power Saving RTH
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. Theaircraft 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 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 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. Auto landing cannot be canceled but the remote controller can be used to alter the direction of the aircraft during the landing process.
Failsafe RTH
If the Home Point was successfully recorded and the compas s is functioning normally, Failsafe RTH automatically activates after the remote controller signal islost for more than 6 seconds. The aircraft will fly backwards for 50 m on its original flight route, and thenenter Straight Line RTH. If the aircraft is less than 50 m from the Home Point when the video signal is lost, it flies to the Home Point at the current altitude.
After flying for 50 m: 1. If the aircraft is less than 50 m from the Home Point, it flies back to the Home Point at the current
altitude. 2. If the aircraft is farther than 50 m from the Home Point and the current altitude is higher than the
preset RTH altitude, it flies back to the Home Point at thecurrent altitude. 3. If the aircraft is farther than 50 m from the Home Point and the current altitude is lower than the
preset RTH altitude, it ascends to the preset RTH altitude and then flies back to the Home Point.
Obstacle Avoidance During RTH
When aircraft is ascending: 1. The aircraft brakes when an obstacle is sensed from infront and flies backward until a safe distance
is reached before continuing to ascend. 14 © 2021 DJI All Rights Reserved.

DJI Air 2S User Manual
2. The aircraft brakes when an obstacle is sensed from behind and flies forward until a safe distance is reached before continuing to ascend.
3. The aircraft brakes when an obstacle is sensed from above and flies forward until a safe distance is reached before continuing to ascend.
4. No operation will occur when an obstacle is sensed belowthe aircraft.
When aircraft is flying forward: 1. The aircraft brakes when an obstacle is sensed from infront and files backward to a safe distance. It
ascends until no obstacle is sensed and continues to ascend another 5 m and then continues to fly forward. 2. No operation will occur when an obstacle is sensed frombehind. 3. No operation will occur when an obstacle is sensed fromabove. 4. The aircraft brakes when an obstacle is sensed from below and ascends until no obstacle is sensed before flying forward.
During RTH, obstacles on either side of the aircraft cannot be detected or avoided. When ascending in RTH, the aircraft will stop ascending and exit from RTH if the throttle stick is pulled all the way down. The aircraft can be controlled after the throttle stick is released. When flying forward in RTH, the aircraft will brake a nd hover in place and exit from RTH if the pitch stick is pulled all the way down. The aircraft can be controlled after the pitch stick is released. If the aircraft reaches the max altitude while it is ascending during RTH, the aircrafts stops and returns to home at the current altitude. If the aircraft reaches the max altitude while it is ascending after detecting obstacles in front, the aircraft will hover in place. The aircraft may not be able to return to the Home Point normally if the GNSS signal is weak or unavailable. The aircraft may enter ATTI mode if the GNSS signal becomes weak or unavailable after entering Failsafe RTH. 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. The default RTH altitude is m. The aircraft cannot avoid obstacles during Failsafe RTH if the Forward, Backward, and Upward Vision Systems are unavailable. During RTH, the speed and altitude of the aircraft can be controlled using the remote controller or DJI Fly if the remote controller signal is normal. The orientation of the aircraft and the direction of flight, however, cannot be controlled. The aircraft cannot avoid obstacles if the pitch stick is used to accelerate and the flight speed exceeds m/s. 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 Air 2S 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. Pull down on the throttle stick or use the auto landing slider to land. Landing Protection activates during Low Battery RTH and Failsafe RTH. The aircraft performs as follows:
© 2021 DJI All Rights Reserved. 15

DJI Air 2S User Manual
During Low Battery RTH and Failsafe RTH, the aircraft hoversat 0.5 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 andthe aircraft performs the steps listed above.
Precision Landing
The aircraft automatically scans and attempts to matchthe terrain features below during RTH. When the current terrain matches the Home Point terrain, the aircraft wlil land. A prompt will appear in DJI Fly if the terrain match fails.
Landing Protection is activated during Precision Landing. The Precision Landing performance is subject to the following conditions: a. The Home Point must be recorded upon takeoff andmust not be changed during flight. Otherwise,
the aircraft will have no record of the Home Point terrain features. b. During takeoff, the aircraft must ascend at least 7 m before flying horizontally. c. The Home Point terrain features must remain largely unchanged. d. The terrain features of the Home Point must be sufficiently distinctive. Terrain such as snow-covered
areas are not suitable. e. The lighting conditions must not be too light or to o dark. The following actions are available during Precision Landing: a. Press the throttle stick down to accelerate landing. b. Move the control sticks in any direction to stop Precis ion Landing. The aircraft will descend vertically
after the control sticks are released.

Vision Systems and Infrared Sensing System
DJI Air 2S is equipped with both an Infrared Sensing System and Forward, Backward, Upward, and Downward Vision Systems.
The Forward, Backward, Upward, and Downward Vision Systemsconsist of two cameras each 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 i n other environments where GNSS 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.

DJI Air 2S User Manual
Using the Vision Systems
When GNSS is unavailable, the Downward Vision System is enabled if the surface has a clear texture and sufficient light. The Downward Vision System works best when the aircraft is at an altitude of 0.5 to 30 m.
The Forward, Backward, and Upward Vision Systems will activate automatically when the aircraft is powered on if the aircraft is in Normal or Cine mo de and Obstacle Avoidance is set to Bypass or Brake in DJI Fly. Using the Forward, Backward, and Upward Vision Systems, the aircraft can actively brake when detecting obstacles. The Forward, Backward, and Upward Vision Systems work best with adequate lighting and clearly marked or textured obstacles.
Vision Systems have limited ability to sense and av oid obstacles, and the performance may be affected by the surrounding environment. Make sure to maintain visual line of sight with the aircraft and pay attention to prompts in DJI Fly. The max hover altitude of the aircraft is m if there is no GNSS available. The Downward Vision Systems work best when the aircraft is at an altitude from . to m. Extra caution is required if the altitude of the aircraft is above m as the Vision Systems may be affected. The Auxiliary Bottom Light can be set in DJI Fly. If set to Auto, it is automatically enabled when the environment light is too weak. Note that the Visi on System cameras performance may be affected when the Auxiliary Bottom Light is enabled. Fly with caution if the GNSS signal is weak. The Vision Systems may not function properly when the aircraft is flying over water or snow-covered areas. The Vision Systems cannot work properly over surfaces that do not have clear pattern variations. The Vision Systems 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. 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 dusty or humid environments.
