Introduction

DJI Mini 2 boasts a foldable design and an ultralight weight of less than 249 g. Featuring a Downward

Vision System and Infrared Sensing System, DJI Mini 2 can hover and y indoors as well as outdoors

and automatically initiate Return to Home (RTH). With a fully stabilized 3-axis gimbal and 1/2.3”

sensor camera, DJI Mini 2 shoots 4K video and 12MP photos. Enjoy Intelligent Flight modes such as QuickShots and Panorama, while QuickTransfer and Trimmed Download make downloading and editing photos and videos more convenient and ecient.

DJI Mini 2 comes equipped with the DJI RC-N1 remote controller, which boasts DJI’s long-range transmission OCUSYNCTM 2.0 technology, oering a maximum transmission range of 6 mi (10 km) and video quality of up to 720p from the aircraft to the DJI Fly app on a mobile device. The remote controller

works at both 2.4 GHz 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.

DJI Mini 2 has a maximum ight speed of 36 mph (57.6 kph) and a maximum ight time of 31 minutes,

while 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 10.5 mph (17 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 approx. 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. This frequency band will automatically be disabled in

these regions. Observe local laws and regulations.

Activating DJI Mini 2

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

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

required for activation.

Aircraft

DJI Mini 2 contains a ight controller,

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

Aircraft

DJI Mini 2 contains a ight controller, video downlink system, vision system, propulsion system, and an

Intelligent Flight Battery.

Flight Modes

DJI Mini 2 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 GPS and the Downward Vision System to locate itself and stabilize. Intelligent Flight Mode is enabled in this mode. When the GPS signal is strong, the aircraft uses GPS to locate itself and stabilize. When the GPS is weak and the lighting conditions are sucient, the aircraft

uses the Downward Vision System to locate itself and stabilize. When the Downward Vision System is

enabled and lighting conditions are sucient, the maximum ight altitude angle is 25° and the maximum ight speed is 10 m/s.

Sport Mode: In Sport mode, the aircraft uses GPS and the Downward 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 ight speed is 16 m/s, maximum ascent speed is 5 m/s, and maximum

descent speed is 3.5 m/s.

Cine Mode: Cine mode is based on Normal mode and the ight speed is limited, making the aircraft more stable during shooting. The maximum ight speed is 6 m/s, maximum ascent speed is 2 m/s, and

maximum descent speed is 1.5 m/s.

The aircraft automatically changes to Attitude (ATTI) mode when the Downward Vision System is

unavailable or disabled and when the GPS signal is weak or the compass experiences interference.

When the Downward Vision System is unavailable, the aircraft cannot position itself or brake

automatically, which increases the risk of potential ight hazards. 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 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.

Descent speed signicantly increases in Sport mode. A minimum braking distance of 10 m is required

in windless conditions.

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. Be vigilant

and maintain adequate maneuvering space during ight.

During video mode in Normal or Cine mode, the ight speed is limited when the pitch of the gimbal

is near -90° or 0° in order to ensure shooting is stable. If there are strong winds, the restriction will be disabled to improve the wind resistance of the aircraft. As a result, the gimbal may vibrate while recording.

QuickTransfer

DJI Mini 2 can connect directly to mobile devices via Wi-Fi, enabling users to download photos and

videos from the aircraft to the mobile device through DJI Fly without the need of a remote controller.

Users can enjoy faster and more convenient downloads with a transmission rate of up to 20 MB/s.

Usage

Method 1: mobile device is not connected to the remote controller

1. Power on the aircraft and wait until the self-diagnostic tests of the aircraft are complete. Press and hold the QuickTransfer button for two seconds to switch to QuickTransfer mode (if rmware is not updated to v1.1.0.0, press the aircraft status indicator twice). The front LED will blink blue slowly

before pulsing blue once switching is successful.

2. Make sure Bluetooth and Wi-Fi is enabled on the mobile device. Launch DJI Fly and a prompt will

automatically appear to connect to the aircraft.

3. Tap Connect. Once successfully connected, the files on the aircraft can be accessed and

downloaded at a high speed. Note that when connecting the mobile device to the aircraft for the rst time, you need to press the QuickTransfer button to conrm.

Method 2: mobile device is connected to the remote controller

1. Make sure that the aircraft is connected to the mobile device via the remote controller and the

motors have not started.

2. Enable Bluetooth and Wi-Fi on the mobile device.

3. Launch DJI Fly, enter playback, and tap in the upper right corner to access the les on the aircraft

to download at high speed.

DJI Mini 2 User Manual

The maximum download rate can only be achieved in countries and regions where the 5.8 GHz

frequency is permitted by laws and regulations, when using devices that support 5.8 GHz frequency

band and Wi-Fi connection, and in an environment without interference or obstruction. If 5.8 GHz is not allowed by local regulations (such as in Japan), the mobile device of the user will not support the 5.8

GHz frequency band or the environment will have severe interference. Under these circumstances, QuickTransfer will automatically switch to the 2.4 GHz frequency band and its maximum download

rate will reduce to 6 MB/s.

Make sure that Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are enabled on the mobile device before using QuickTransfer.

The aircraft will automatically enter ight mode by default after restarting. QuickTransfer must be entered manually again if required.

Use QuickTransfer in an unobstructed environment with no interference and stay away from sources of interference such as wireless routers, Bluetooth speakers, or headphones.

Return to Home

The Return to Home (RTH) function brings the aircraft back to the last recorded Home Point and lands when the GPS is signal is strong. There are three types of RTH: Smart RTH, Low Battery RTH, and Failsafe RTH. If the aircraft successfully recorded the home point and the GPS signal is strong, the RTH

will be triggered when either the user starts Smart RTH, the aircraft battery level is low, or the signal

between the remote controller and the aircraft is lost. RTH will also be triggered in other abnormal

scenarios such as if there is a loss of video transmission.

GPS

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). The

Home Point

aircraft status indicator blinks green quickly after the Home Point has been

recorded.

Smart RTH

If the GPS 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. Exit Smart RTH by tapping in DJI Fly or by pressing the RTH button on the remote controller.

Low Battery RTH

When the Intelligent Flight Battery level is too low and there is not enough power to return home, land

the aircraft as soon as possible. Otherwise, the aircraft will fall when it runs out of power, resulting in the

aircraft being damaged and other potential hazards.

To avoid unnecessary danger due to insucient power, DJI Mini 2 will intelligently determine whether the current battery level is sucient to return home based on the current location. 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.

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

DJI Mini 2 User Manual

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 11 seconds.

When the rmware is updated to v1.1.0.0 and above, the aircraft will y backwards for 50 m on its original ight route and ascend to the preset RTH altitude to enter Straight Line RTH. The aircraft enters Straight Line RTH if the remote controller signal is restored during Failsafe RTH. When the aircraft ies backwards along the original ight path and the distance from the Home Point is less than 20 m, the aircraft stops ying backward on the original ight route and enters Straight Line RTH at the current

altitude.

In DJI Fly, users can change the settings of how the aircraft responds when the remote controller signal

is lost. The aircraft will not execute Failsafe RTH if land or hover has been selected in the settings.

Other RTH Scenarios

There will be a prompt to initiate RTH if the video link signal is lost during flight while the remote

controller is still able to control the movements of the aircraft. RTH can be cancelled.

RTH Procedure (Straight Line)

1. The Home Point is recorded.

2. RTH is triggered.

3. If the aircraft is less than 20 m from the Home Point when RTH begins, it will hover in place and not return to home (rmware version v1.1.0.0 is required. Otherwise, the aircraft will land immediately).

If the aircraft is further than 20 m from the Home Point when RTH begins, it will return home at a

horizontal speed of 10.5 m/s.

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

The aircraft cannot return to the Home Point if the GPS signal is weak or unavailable. If the GPS signal

becomes weak or unavailable after RTH is triggered, 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. In Smart RTH and Low Battery RTH, if the current altitude of the aircraft is less than the RTH

altitude, it automatically ascends to the RTH altitude rst. If the altitude of the aircraft reaches or is higher than the RTH altitude, it will y to the Home Point at its current 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 and the aircraft will y to the Home Point at its current altitude (only available with rmware v1.0.0.0. This function is not available when the rmware is updated to v1.1.0.0 or later).

DJI Mini 2 User Manual

During RTH, the speed, altitude, and orientation of the aircraft can be controlled using the remote controller if the remote controller signal is normal. However, the remote controller cannot be used to

pan left or right (only applicable to rmware v1.0.0.0). If the aircraft is ying forward and the remote

controller signal is normal, the user can use the remote controller to control the speed and altitude of

the aircraft, but cannot control the orientation or y left or right (only available with rmware v1.1.0.0 and above). When the aircraft is ascending or ying forward, the user can push the control stick

completely in the opposite direction to make the aircraft hover in place.

GEO zones will aect RTH. If the aircraft ies into a GEO zone during RTH, it will either descend until it exits the GEO zone and continue to y to the Home Point or hover in place due to altitude limits.

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 Mini 2 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. Tap conrm or pull down on the throttle stick to land.

Vision System and Infrared Sensing System

DJI Mini 2 is equipped with a Downward Vision System and Infrared Sensing System. The Downward

Vision System consists of one camera 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 y indoors or in other environments where GPS is

unavailable.

Infrared Sensing System

Downward Vision System

Detection Fields

The Downward Vision System works best when the aircraft is at an altitude of 0.5 to 10 m and its

operating range is 0.5 to 30 m.

71°

56°

DJI Mini 2 User Manual

Using the Vision Systems

When GPS is unavailable, the Downward Vision System is enabled if the surface has a clear texture and there is sucient light. The Downward Vision System works best when the aircraft is at an altitude of 0.5 to 10 m. If the altitude of the aircraft is above 10 m, the Vision System may be aected. Extra caution is required.

Follow the steps below to use the Downward Vision System.

1. Make sure the aircraft is in Normal or Cine mode. Power on the aircraft.

2. The aircraft hovers in place after takeo. The aircraft status indicator blinks green twice, indicating

the Downward Vision System is working.

Pay attention to the ight environment. The Downward Vision System and Infrared Sensing System

only work under limited conditions and cannot replace human control and judgment. During

ight, always pay attention to the surrounding environment and to the warnings on DJI Fly and be

responsible for and maintain control of the aircraft.

The aircraft has a max hovering altitude of 5 m if GPS is available.

The Downward Vision System may not function properly when the aircraft is ying over water.

Therefore, the aircraft may not be able to actively avoid water below when landing. It is recommended

to maintain ight control at all times, make reasonable judgments based on the surrounding

environment, and avoid relying on the Downward Vision System.

Note that the Downward Vision System and Infrared Sensing System may not function properly when the aircraft is ying too fast. The Infrared Sensing System only takes eect when the ight speed is no

more than 12 m/s.

The Downward Vision System cannot work properly over surfaces that do not have clear pattern variations or there is weak light. The Downward Vision System 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. (e.g., power pole).

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).

DJI Mini 2 User Manual

Radius

The restrictions on the radius are disabled and warning prompts cannot be received in

the app.

There will be no altitude limit if the GPS signal becomes weak during ight as long as the GPS signal

was stronger than weak (white or yellow signal bars) when the aircraft was powered on.

If the aircraft is in a GEO zone and there is a weak or no GPS signal, the aircraft status indicator will glow red for ve seconds every twelve seconds.

If the aircraft reaches an altitude or radius limit, you can still control the aircraft, but you cannot y it

any further. If the aircraft ies out of the max radius, it will automatically y back within range when the GPS signal is strong.

For safety reasons, do not y close to airports, highways, railway stations, railway lines, city centers,

or other sensitive areas. Fly the aircraft only within your line of sight.

DJI Mini 2 User Manual

Starting/Stopping the Motors

Starting the Motors

A Combination Stick Command (CSC) is used to start the motors. Push both sticks to the bottom inner

or outer corners to start the motors. Once the motors start spinning, release both sticks simultaneously.

Stopping the Motors

There are two methods to stop the motors.

Method 1: when the aircraft has landed, push and hold the throttle stick down. The motors will stop

after three seconds.

Method 2: when the aircraft has landed, push the throttle stick down, and perform the same CSC that

was used to start the motors. Release both sticks once the motors have stopped.

Method 1 Method 2

Stopping the Motors Mid-Flight

The motors should only be stopped mid-flight in an emergency situation such as if a collision has

occurred or if the aircraft is out of control and is ascending or descending very quickly, rolling in

the air, or if a motor has stalled. To stop the motors mid-flight, use the same CSC that was used

to start the motors. The default setting can be changed in DJI Fly.

Stopping motors mid-ight will cause the aircraft to crash.

Calibrating the Compass

It is recommended to calibrate the compass in the following situations when ying outdoors:

1. Flying at a location further than 31 miles (50 km) away from the location the aircraft was last own.

2. The aircraft has not been own 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 scaolding.

DO NOT carry objects that contain ferromagnetic materials such as mobile phones near the aircraft

during calibration.

It is not necessary to calibrate the compass when ying indoors.

Calibration Procedure

Choose an open area to carry out the following procedure.

1. Tap System Settings in DJI Fly, select Safety, then Calibrate, and follow the on-screen instructions.

The aircraft status indicator is solid yellow, indicating calibration has started.

2. Hold the aircraft horizontally and rotate it 360°. The aircraft status indicator will turn solid green.

3. Hold the aircraft vertically and rotate it 360° 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.

DJI Mini 2 User Manual

If the aircraft status indicator blinks red and yellow alternatively after calibration is completed, this

indicates that the current location is not suitable for ying the aircraft due to the level of magnetic

interference. Choose a new location.

A prompt will appear in DJI Fly if compass calibration is required before takeo.

The aircraft can take o immediately once calibration is complete. If you wait more than three

minutes to take o after calibration, you may need to calibrate again.

Updating Firmware

When you connect the aircraft or remote controller to DJI Fly, you will be notified if a new firmware

update is available. To update, connect the mobile device to the internet and follow the on-screen

instructions. Note that the firmware cannot be updated if the remote controller is not linked to the

aircraft.

Make sure to follow all the steps to update rmware. Otherwise, the update may fail. The aircraft will

power o automatically after the rmware update is complete.

The rmware update will take approx. 10 minutes. It is normal for the gimbal to go limp, aircraft

status indicators to blink, and the aircraft to reboot. Wait patiently until the update is complete.

Before performing an update, make sure the Intelligent Flight Battery is at least 15% charged and the

remote controller is at least 20% charged.

The remote controller may become unlinked from the aircraft after updating. Relink the remote

controller and aircraft. Note that the update may reset various main controller settings, such as the RTH altitude and the maximum ight distance, to default settings. Before updating, take note of your

preferred DJI Fly settings and readjust them after the update.
