Introduction

DJI Air 2S features a fully stabilized 3-axis gimbal and 1-inch CMOS sensor camera that can shoot

5.4K 30fps, 4K 60fps, and 1080p 120fps video as well as 20MP photos. Capture complex shots easily with DJI signature technologies such as Obstacle Sensing and Advanced Pilot Assistance System 4.0

and enjoy Intelligent Flight modes such as MasterShots, Hyperlapse, QuickShots, and FocusTrack

which includes ActiveTrack 4.0, Spotlight 2.0, and Point of Interest 3.0. DJI Air 2S features both an

Infrared Sensing System and Forward, Backward, Upward, and Downward Vision Systems, allowing for

hovering and ying indoors as well as outdoors and for automatic Return to Home. The aircraft has a maximum ight speed of 42 mph (68.4 kph) and a maximum ight time of 31 minutes.

DJI Air 2S boasts four built-in antennas and DJI’s long-range transmission O3 (OCUSYNCTM 3.0)

technology, oering 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. The aircraft and camera can easily be controlled using the onboard buttons. The maximum runtime of the remote controller is six hours.

Maximum ight time was tested in an environment with no wind while ying at a consistent 12 mph

(19.4 kph) and the maximum ight 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 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 y in a single ight.

The maximum runtime was tested in a laboratory environment and without charging the mobile device. This value is for reference only.

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

Activating DJI Air 2S

DJI Air 2S requires activation before using for the rst time. After powering on the aircraft and remote

controller, follow the on-screen instructions to activate DJI Air 2S using DJI Fly. An internet connection is

required for activation.

Aircraft

DJI Air 2S contains a ight controller,

video downlink system, vision systems, infrared sensing system, propulsion system, and an Intelligent Flight Battery.

Aircraft

DJI Air 2S contains a ight 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 Mode switch on the remote controller.

Normal Mode: The aircraft utilizes GNSS and the Forward, Backward, Upward 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 sucient, 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 sucient, the maximum ight altitude angle is 35° and the maximum ight 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

ight speed is 19 m/s. Obstacle sensing is disabled in Sport mode.

Cine Mode: Cine mode is based on Normal mode and the ight speed is limited, making the aircraft

more stable during shooting.

The aircraft automatically changes to Attitude (ATTI) mode when 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 aected by its surroundings. Environmental factors such as wind can result in horizontal shifting, which may present hazards, especially when ying in conned 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 signicantly 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 signicantly 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 ight.

DJI Air 2S User Manual

Aircraft Status Indicators

DJI Air 2S has front LEDs and aircraft status indicators.

Front LED

Return to Home

Return to Home (RTH) returns the aircraft to the last recorded 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 ight.

Description

Home

Point

GNSS

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 takeo as long as the aircraft receives 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 sucient, 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 ies to the Home Point. If the current altitude is higher than the RTH altitude, the aircraft ies 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 ies to the Home Point at the current altitude.

c. If the aircraft is less than 5 m from the Home Point when 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 m and the altitude is more than 90 m above the RTH altitude as well as more than 290 m above the takeo 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 ies 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 Straight Line RTH in the following scenarios:

DJI Air 2S User Manual

Formatting here needs adjusting. One line for each point.

1. If the pitch stick is pulled down.

2. If the remote controller signal is lost.

3. If the Vision Systems become unavailable.

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 aected. 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 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 compass is functioning normally, Failsafe RTH

automatically activates after the remote controller signal is lost for more than 6 seconds. The aircraft will

y backwards for 50 m on its original ight route, and then enter Straight Line RTH. If the aircraft is less than 50 m from the Home Point when the video signal is lost, it ies to the Home Point at the current

altitude.

After ying for 50 m:

1. If the aircraft is less than 50 m from the Home Point, it ies 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 ies back to the Home Point at the current 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 ies back to the Home Point.

Obstacle Avoidance During RTH

When aircraft is ascending:

1. The aircraft brakes when an obstacle is sensed from in front and ies backward until a safe distance

DJI Air 2S User Manual

is reached before continuing to ascend.

2. The aircraft brakes when an obstacle is sensed from behind and ies forward until a safe distance is

reached before continuing to ascend.

3. The aircraft brakes when an obstacle is sensed from above and ies forward until a safe distance is

reached before continuing to ascend.

4. No operation will occur when an obstacle is sensed below the aircraft.

When aircraft is ying forward:

1. The aircraft brakes when an obstacle is sensed from in front and les backward to a safe distance. It ascends until no obstacle is sensed and continues to ascend another 5 m and then continues to y

forward.

2. No operation will occur when an obstacle is sensed from behind.

3. No operation will occur when an obstacle is sensed from above.

4. The aircraft brakes when an obstacle is sensed from below and ascends until no obstacle is sensed

before ying forward.

During RTH, obstacles on either side of the aircraft cannot be detected or avoided.

When ascending in RTH, the aircraft will stop ascending if the throttle stick is pulled all the way down. The aircraft will exit from RTH if the throttle stick is held down for more than 10 seconds or the stick is recentered.

When ying forward in RTH, the aircraft will brake and hover in place if the pitch stick is pulled

all the way down. The aircraft will exit from RTH if the pitch stick is held down for more than 10 seconds.

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 ight. Launch DJI Fly and set the RTH

altitude. The default RTH altitude is 100 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 ight, however, cannot be controlled. The aircraft cannot avoid obstacles if the pitch stick is used to accelerate and the ight speed exceeds 15 m/s.

If the aircraft ies into a GEO zone during RTH it will either descend until it exits the GEO zone

and continue to the Home Point or 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 conrmation.

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:

DJI Air 2S User Manual

During Low Battery RTH and Failsafe RTH, the aircraft hovers at 0.5 m above the ground and waits for

the pilot to conrm 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.

Precision Landing

The aircraft automatically scans and attempts to match the terrain features below during RTH. When the

current terrain matches the Home Point terrain, the aircraft will 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 takeo and must not be changed during ight. Otherwise,

the aircraft will have no record of the Home Point terrain features.

b. During takeo, the aircraft must ascend at least 7 m before ying horizontally.

c. The Home Point terrain features must remain largely unchanged.

d. The terrain features of the Home Point must be suciently distinctive. Terrain such as snow-covered

areas are not suitable.

e. The lighting conditions must not be too light or too 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 Precision 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 Systems consist 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 in 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.

The Vision System cameras installed on the aircraft are factory calibrated. If any abnormality is detected with a vision system camera, the aircraft will automatically perform calibration and a prompt will appear

in DJI Fly. No further operation is required.

Advanced Calibration

If the abnormality persists after auto calibration, a prompt appears in the app that advanced calibration

is required. The advanced calibration must be used with DJI Assistant 2 (Consumer Drones Series).

Follow the steps below to calibrate the Forward Vision System camera and repeat the steps to calibrate other Vision System cameras.

Point the aircraft toward the screen.

Align the boxes.

Pan and tilt the aircraft.

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 sucient 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 mode and Obstacle Avoidance is set to Bypass or Break 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 avoid 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 60 m if there is no GNSS available. The Downward Vision

Systems work best when the aircraft is at an altitude from 0.5 to 30 m. Extra caution is required if

the altitude of the aircraft is above 30 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 Vision 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 ying 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 reective 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 reect 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.

DJI Air 2S User Manual

Calibrate the camera if the aircraft is involved in a collision or if prompted to do so in DJI Fly.

DO NOT y when it is raining, foggy, or if there is no clear sight.

Check the following before each takeoff:

a. Make sure there are no stickers or any other obstructions over the Infrared Sensing and Vision

Systems.

b. If there is any dirt, dust, or water on the Infrared Sensing and Vision Systems, 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

Systems.

FocusTrack

FocusTrack includes Spotlight 2.0, ActiveTrack 4.0, and Point of Interest 3.0.

Spotlight 2.0: Control the aircraft manually while the camera remains locked on the subject with this convenient mode. Move the roll stick to circle the subject, move the pitch stick to alter the distance from the subject, move the throttle stick to change the altitude, and move the pan stick to adjust the frame.

ActiveTrack 4.0: ActiveTrack 4.0 has two modes. Move the roll stick to circle the subject, move the pitch stick to alter the distance from the subject, move the throttle stick to change the altitude, and move the pan stick to adjust the frame.

1. Trace: The aircraft tracks the subject at a constant distance. In Normal and Cine mode, the

maximum ight speed is 12 m/s. The aircraft can sense obstacles in this mode when there are pitch

stick movements, but cannot sense obstacles when there are roll and throttle stick movements. In

Sport mode, the maximum ight speed is 19 m/s and the aircraft cannot sense obstacles.

2. Parallel: The aircraft tracks the subject at a constant angle and distance from the side. In Normal and Cine mode, the maximum ight speed is 12 m/s. In Sport mode, the maximum ight speed is 19 m/s. The aircraft cannot sense obstacles in Parallel.

Point of Interest 3.0 (POI 3.0): The aircraft tracks the subject in a circle based on the radius and ight

speed that is set. The mode supports both static and moving subjects such as vehicles, boats, and people. Note that the altitude of the aircraft will not change if the altitude of a subject changes and subjects that move too fast may be lost.

Remote Controller

This section describes the features of the remote controller and includes instructions for controlling the aircraft and the camera.

Remote Controller

Remote Controller Profile

Built into the remote controller is DJI’s long-range transmission technology OcuSync 2.0, offering a maximum transmission range of 12 km and displaying video from the aircraft to DJI Fly on a mobile device at up to 1080p. The aircraft and camera are easy to control using the onboard buttons and the detachable control sticks make the remote controller easier to store.

In a wide-open area with no electromagnetic interference, the aircraft uses O3 and the remote controller uses OcuSync 2.0 to smoothly transmit video links at up to 1080p, no matter the change in flight attitude. The remote controller works at both 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz, automatically selecting the best transmission channel. Transmission system reduces the latency to 120-130 ms by improving the camera performance through its video decoding algorithm and the wireless link.

The built-in battery has a capacity of 5200 mAh and a maximum run time of 6 hours. 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 make sure that charging is enabled in DJI Fly. Charging for iOS devices is disabled by default and needs to be enabled each time the remote controller is powered on.

Compliance Version: The remote controller is compliant with local regulations.

Control Stick Mode: The control stick mode determines the function of each control stick movement.

Three pre-programmed modes (Mode 1, Mode 2, and Mode 3) are available and custom modes can

be congured in DJI Fly. The default mode is Mode 2.

Once pre-ight preparation is complete, it is recommended to hone your ight skills and practice ying safely. Make sure that all ights are carried out in an open area. Refer to the Remote Controller and DJI

Fly sections for information about using the remote controller and the app to control the aircraft.

Flight Environment Requirements

1. Do not use the aircraft in severe weather conditions including wind speeds exceeding 10.7 m/s,

snow, rain, and fog.

2. Only y in open areas. Fly in open areas. Tall structures and large metal structures may aect the

accuracy of the onboard compass and GNSS system. It is recommended to keep the aircraft at least 5 m away from structures.

3. Avoid obstacles, crowds, high voltage power lines, trees, and bodies of water. It is recommended to keep the aircraft at least 3 m above water.

4. Minimize interference by avoiding areas with high levels of electromagnetism such as locations near power lines, base stations, electrical substations, and broadcasting towers.

5. Aircraft and battery performance is subject to environmental factors such as air density and

temperature. Be careful when ying 10,464 ft (5,000 m) or more above sea level, since battery and

aircraft performance may be reduced.

6. Aircraft cannot use GNSS within the polar regions. Use the Downward Vision System when ying in

such locations.

7. If taking o from a moving surface, such as a moving boat or vehicle, y with caution.

Flight Limits and GEO Zones

Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operators should abide by the regulations from self-regulatory organizations such as the International Civil Aviation Organization, the Federal Aviation Administration, and local aviation authorities. For safety reasons, flight limits are enabled by default to help users

operate this aircraft safely and legally. Users can set ight limits on height and distance.

Altitude limits, distance limits, and GEO zones function concurrently to manage ight safety when GNSS

is available. Only altitude can be limited when GNSS is unavailable.

Flight Altitude and Distance Limits

The ight altitude and distance limits can be changed in DJI Fly. Based on these settings, the aircraft will y in a restricted cylinder, as shown below:

Max Flight Altitude
