User Manual
Flight and Safety
After completing the pre-flight preparation, it is recommended to train your flying skills and
practice ying safely. Pick a suitable area to y in according to the following ight requirements
and restrictions. Strictly abide by local laws and regulations when flying. Read the Safety
Guidelines before ight to ensure the safe use of the product.
Flight Environment Requirements
1. DO NOT operate the aircraft in severe weather conditions including wind speeds exceeding
10.7 m/s, snow, 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 10 m of buildings. Keep a distance of at least 10 m from buildings
during ight. After takeo, make sure you are notied with the voice prompt Home Point
is updated before continuing ight. If the aircraft has taken o 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. The performance of the aircraft and its battery is limited when ying at high altitudes. Fly
with caution. The maximum takeo altitude of the aircraft is 4,000 m (13,123 ft) when ying
with the Intelligent Flight Battery. If the Intelligent Flight Battery Plus is used, the maximum
takeo altitude drops to 3,000 m (9,843 ft). If a propeller guard is installed on the aircraft
with the Intelligent Flight Battery, the maximum takeo altitude becomes 1,500 m (4,921 ft).
DO NOT use the propeller guard together with the Intelligent Flight Battery Plus.
4. The braking distance of the aircraft is aected by the ight altitude. The higher the altitude,
the greater the braking distance. When ying at an altitude above 3,000 m (9,843 ft), the
user should reserve at least 20 m of vertical braking distance and 25 m of horizontal braking
distance to ensure ight safety.
5. Avoid obstacles, crowds, trees, and bodies of water (recommended height is at least 3 m
above water).
6. Minimize interference by avoiding areas with high levels of electromagnetism, such as
locations near power lines, base stations, electrical substations, and broadcasting towers.
7. GNSS cannot be used on the aircraft in polar regions. Use the vision system instead.
8. DO NOT take o from moving objects such as cars, ships, and airplanes.
9. DO NOT take o from solid-colored surfaces or surfaces with strong reection such as a car
roof.
10. DO NOT use the aircraft, remote controller, battery, battery charger, and the battery
charging hub near accidents, fire, explosions, floods, tsunamis, avalanches, landslides,
earthquakes, dust, sandstorms, salt spray, or fungus.
11. Operate the aircraft, remote controller, battery, battery charger, and the battery charging
hub in a dry environment.
12. DO NOT operate the aircraft in an environment at risk of a re or explosion.
To avoid serious injury and property damage, observe the following rules:
1. Make sure you are NOT under the inuence of anesthesia, alcohol, or drugs or suering
from dizziness, fatigue, nausea, or other conditions that could impair the ability to operate
the aircraft safely.
2. When landing, power o the aircraft rst, then switch o the remote controller.
3. DO NOT drop, launch, fire, or otherwise project any dangerous payloads on or at any
buildings, persons, or animals, which could cause personal injury or property damage.
4. DO NOT use an aircraft that has been crashed or accidentally damaged or an aircraft that is
not in good condition.
5. Make sure to train sufficiently and have contingency plans for emergencies or when an
incident occurs.
6. Make sure to have a ight plan. DO NOT y the aircraft recklessly.
7. Respect the privacy of others when using the camera. Make sure to comply with local
privacy laws, regulations, and moral standards.
8. DO NOT use this product for any reason other than general personal use.
9. DO NOT use it for illegal or inappropriate purposes such as spying, military operations, or
unauthorized investigations.
10. DO NOT use this product to defame, abuse, harass, stalk, threaten, or otherwise violate
legal rights such as the right to privacy and publicity of others.
11. DO NOT trespass onto the private property of others.
Flight Restrictions
GEO (Geospatial Environment Online) System
DJI’s Geospatial Environment Online (GEO) System is a global information system that provides
real-time information on ight safety and restriction updates and prevents UAVs from ying in
restricted airspace. Under exceptional circumstances, restricted areas can be unlocked to allow
ights 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 ight safety and must consult with the local
authorities on the relevant legal and regulatory requirements before requesting to unlock a ight
in a restricted area. For more information about the GEO system, visit https://y-safe.dji.com.
Flight Limits
For safety reasons, ight limits are enabled by default to help users operate this aircraft safely.
Users can set ight 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.
Max altitude restricts an aircraft’s ight altitude, while max distance restricts an aircraft’s ight
radius around the Home Point. These limits can be changed in the DJI Fly app for improved
ight safety.

• Each time the aircraft is powered on, the altitude limit of 2 m or 30 m will be automatically
removed as long as the GNSS signal ever becomes strong (GNSS signal strength ≥ 2) once,
and the limit will not take eect even if the GNSS signal becomes weak afterwards.
• If the aircraft flies out of the set flight range due to inertia, you can still control the
aircraft but cannot y it any further.
• For safety reasons, DO NOT y the aircraft close to airports, highways, railway stations,
railway lines, city centers, or other sensitive areas. Only y the aircraft within a visual
line of sight.
DJI’s 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 specic ight areas, including but not limited to airports,
large event venues, locations where public emergencies have occurred (such as forest res),
nuclear power plants, prisons, government properties, and military facilities. By default, the
GEO system limits takeos and ights 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 ocial DJI website: https://y-safe.dji.com/nfz/nfz-query.
Unlocking GEO Zones
To satisfy the needs of dierent users, DJI provides two unlocking modes: Self-Unlocking and
Custom Unlocking. Users may request on the DJI Fly Safe website.
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. To unlock the zone, alternatively, the user may launch or y the aircraft
directly into the approved Authorization Zone and follow the prompts in DJI Fly to unlock the
zone.
Custom Unlocking

https://s.dji.com/intelligent-flight
The cruise control function enables the aircraft to lock the current control stick input of the
remote controller when conditions permit, and to automatically y at the speed corresponding
to the current control stick input. Without the need to continually move the control sticks, longdistance ights become more eortless, and image shaking which often happens during manual
operating can be avoided. More camera movements such as spiraling up can be achieved by
increasing the control stick input.
Go to DJI Fly, select Settings > Control > Button Customization, and then set the customizable
button of the remote controller to Cruise Control.
2. Enter Cruise Control
• Press the cruise control button while pushing the control stick(s), then the aircraft will

DJI Mini 4 Pro
User Manual
Aircraft
The aircraft contains a ight controller, video downlink system, vision systems, infrared sensing
system, propulsion system, and an Intelligent Flight Battery.
Flight Mode
The aircraft supports the following flight modes, which can be switched via the Flight Mode
switch on the remote controller.
Normal Mode
The aircraft utilizes GNSS, the omnidirectional vision system, the downward vision system,
and the 3D 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 environmental conditions are sucient, the aircraft uses the vision systems
for positioning. When the vision systems are enabled, and lighting and other environmental
conditions are sucient, the maximum pitch angle is 30° and the maximum horizontal speed is
12 m/s.
Sport Mode
In Sport Mode, the aircraft uses GNSS and the downward vision system for positioning, and the
aircraft responses are optimized for agility and speed, making it more responsive to control
stick movements. The maximum horizontal speed is 16 m/s. Note that obstacle sensing is
disabled in Sport Mode.
Cine Mode
Cine mode is based on Normal mode with a limited ight speed, making the aircraft more stable
during shooting.
The aircraft automatically changes to Attitude (ATTI) mode when the vision systems are
unavailable or disabled and the GNSS signal is weak or the compass experiences interference. In
ATTI mode, the aircraft may be more easily aected by its surroundings. Environmental factors
such as wind can result in horizontal drift of the aircraft, which may present hazards especially
when ying in conned spaces. The aircraft will not be able to hover or brake automatically,
therefore the pilot should land the aircraft as soon as possible to avoid accidents.
• The ight modes are only eective for manual ight and cruise control.
• The vision systems are disabled in Sport mode, which means the aircraft cannot sense
obstacles on its route automatically. The user must stay alert to the surrounding
environment and control the aircraft to avoid obstacles.
• The maximum speed and braking distance of the aircraft signicantly 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 in Sport mode or Normal mode.
• The responsiveness of the aircraft signicantly 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.
• The ight speed and attitude are both restricted when the aircraft is ying left or right
to ensure shooting stability. The restriction reaches its maximum when the tilt of the
gimbal is -90°. 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 shooting.
• Users may experience a minor tremor in videos recorded in Sport mode.
Aircraft Status Indicators
The aircraft has two aircraft status indicators.

The Returnto Home (RTH) functionbrings the aircraft backto the last recordedHome Point.
The RTH can be triggered in three ways: the user actively triggers RTH, the aircraft has low
battery, or the control signal between the remote controller and the aircraft is lost. 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 y back and land at the Home Point.

signal is weak, the Home Point will not be updated. After the Home Point is
recorded, DJI Fly will issue a voice prompt.
If it is necessary to update the Home Point during a flight (such as where
the position of the user has changed), the Home Point can be manually
updated in Settings > Safety page in DJI Fly.
Descriptions
• The AR RTH route is only used for reference, and may deviate from the actual flight
route in dierent scenarios. Always pay attention to the liveview on the screen during
RTH. Fly with caution.
• During RTH, use the gimbal dial to adjust the camera orientation or press the
customizable buttons on the remote controller to recenter the camera will stop the
aircraft from automatically adjusting the gimbal tilt, which may prevent the AR RTH
route from being viewed.
• When reaching the Home Point, the aircraft will automatically adjust the gimbal tilt
vertically down.
User Manual
Advanced RTH
When Advanced RTH is triggered, the aircraft will automatically plan the best RTH path, which
will be displayed in DJI Fly and will adjust according to the environment.
If the control signal between the remote controller and the aircraft is good, exit RTH by tapping
in DJI Fly or by pressing the RTH button on the remote controller. After exiting RTH, users will
regain control of the aircraft.
Trigger Method
•
The user actively triggers RTH
Advanced RTH can be initiated either by tapping in DJI Fly or by pressing and holding the
RTH button on the remote controller until it beeps.
•
Aircraft low battery
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.
To avoid unnecessary danger caused by insufficient power, the aircraft automatically
calculates if the battery power is sufficient to return to the Home Point according to the
current position, environment, and flight speed. A warning prompt will appear in DJI Fly
when the battery level is low and only enough to complete an RTH ight. The aircraft will
automatically y to the Home Point if no action is taken after a countdown.
The user can cancel RTH by pressing the RTH button on the remote controller. If RTH is
canceled following the warning, the Intelligent 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 control the horizontal movement and the descent speed
of the aircraft during landing. If there is sucient power, the throttle stick can be used to
make the aircraft ascend at a speed of 1 m/s.The aircraft will initiate force landing when the
available battery power is depleted, and the throttle stick cannot be pushed to change the
descent speed.
During auto landing, move the aircraft horizontally to nd an appropriate place to land as
soon as possible. The aircraft will fall if the user keeps pushing the throttle stick upward until
the power is depleted.
•
Loss of remote controller signal
The action of the aircraft when the remote controller signal is lost can be set to RTH, land, or
hover in Setting >Safety > Advanced Safety Settings in DJI Fly. If the action is set to RTH, 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 six seconds.
When the lighting is sufficient and the environment is suitable for the vision systems to
work normally, DJI Fly will display the RTH path that was generated by the aircraft before the
remote controller signal was lost. The aircraft will start RTH using Advanced RTH according
to the RTH settings. The aircraft will remain in RTH even if the remote controller signal is
restored. DJI Fly will update the RTH path accordingly.
When the lighting is not sucient or the environment is not suitable for the vision systems
to work normally, the aircraft will enter Original Route RTH. The aircraft will enter or remain
in Preset RTH if the remote controller signal is restored during RTH. The Original Route RTH
procedure is as follows:
1. The aircraft brakes and hovers in place.
2. When RTH begins:
• If the RTH distance (the horizontal distance between the aircraft and the Home Point)
is farther than 50 m, the aircraft adjusts its orientation and ies backward for 50 m on
its original ight route before entering Preset RTH.
• If the RTH distance is farther than 5 m but less than 50 m, it adjusts its orientation and
ies to the Home Point in a straight line at the current altitude.
• The aircraft lands immediately if the RTH distance is less than 5 m.
3. The aircraft begins to land when it reaches above the Home Point.
• If RTH is triggered through DJI Fly and the RTH distance is farther than 5 m, DJI Fly will
display the two following options: RTH and Landing. Users can select either RTH or
directly land the aircraft.
• The aircraft may not be able to return to the Home Point normally if the positioning
system is functioning abnormally. During Failsafe RTH, the aircraft may enter ATTI mode
and land automatically if the positioning system is functioning abnormally.
• 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 sense obstacles during Failsafe RTH if the vision systems are
unavailable.
• GEO zones may aect the RTH. Avoid ying near GEO zones.
• The aircraft may not be able to return to a Home Point when the wind speed is too high.
Fly with caution.
• Pay extra attention to small or fine objects (such as tree branches or power lines)
or transparent objects (such as water or glass) during RTH. Exit RTH and control the
aircraft manually in an emergency.
• RTH cannot be activated during auto landing.
User Manual
RTH Procedure
1. The Home Point is recorded.
2. Advanced RTH is triggered.
3. The aircraft brakes and hovers in place. When RTH begins:
• The aircraft lands immediately if the RTH distance is less than 5 m.
• If the RTH distance is farther than 5 m, the aircraft will adjust its orientation to the Home
Point and plan the best path according to the RTH settings, lighting, and environmental
conditions.
4. The aircraft will fly automatically according to the RTH settings, environment, and
transmission signal during RTH.
5. The aircraft lands and the motors stop after reaching the Home Point.
RTH Settings
RTH settings are available for Advanced RTH. Go to the camera view in DJI Fly, tap Settings >
Safety, and then RTH.
1. Optimal:
• If the lighting is sufficient and the environment is suitable for the vision systems, the
aircraft will automatically plan the optimal RTH path and adjust the altitude according to
environmental factors, such as obstacles and transmission signals, regardless of the RTH
Altitude setting. The optimal RTH path means the aircraft will travel the shortest distance
possible to reduce the amount of battery power used and to increase ight time.
• If the lighting is insucient or the environment is not suitable for the vision systems, the
aircraft will execute Preset RTH based on the RTH Altitude setting.
When the aircraft is approaching the Home Point, if the current altitude is higher than the RTH
altitude, the aircraft will intelligently decide whether to descend while ying forward according
to the surrounding environment, lighting, the set RTH altitude, and the current altitude. When
the aircraft reaches above the Home Point, the current altitude of the aircraft will not be lower
than the set RTH altitude. Note that when the lighting is insucient or the environment is not
suitable for the vision systems, the aircraft cannot avoid obstacles. Make sure to set a safe
RTH altitude and pay attention to the surrounding environment to ensure ight safety.
The RTH plans for dierent environments, RTH trigger methods, and RTH settings are as follows:

• During Advanced RTH, the aircraft will adjust the flight speed automatically to suit
environmental factors such as wind speed and obstacles.
• The aircraft cannot avoid small or ne objects such as tree branches or power lines. Fly
the aircraft to an open area before using RTH.
• Set Advanced RTH as Preset if there are power lines or towers that the aircraft cannot
bypass on the RTH path and make sure the RTH Altitude is set higher than all obstacles.
• The aircraft will brake and return to home according to the latest settings if the RTH
settings are changed during RTH.
• If the max altitude is adjusted below the current altitude during RTH, the aircraft will
descend to the max altitude rst and then continue returning to home.
• The RTH Altitude cannot be changed during RTH.
• If there is a large difference between the current altitude and the RTH altitude, the
amount of battery power used cannot be calculated accurately due to wind speed
dierence at dierent altitudes. Pay extra attention to the battery power prompts and
warning prompts in DJI Fly.
• During Advanced RTH, the aircraft will enter Preset RTH if the lighting condition or
environment becomes unsuitable for the vision systems. In this case, the aircraft cannot
bypass the obstacles. An appropriate RTH altitude must be set before entering RTH.
• When the remote controller signal is normal during Advanced RTH, the pitch stick can
be used to control the ight speed, but the orientation and altitude cannot be controlled
and the aircraft cannot be controlled to y to the left or right. Constantly pushing the
pitch stick to accelerate will increase the battery power consumption speed. The aircraft
cannot bypass obstacles if the flight speed exceeds the effective sensing speed. The
aircraft will brake and hover in place and exit RTH if the pitch stick is pushed all the way
down. The aircraft can be controlled after the pitch stick is released.
• If the aircraft reaches the altitude limit of the aircraft current location or of the Home
Point while it is ascending during Preset RTH, the aircraft stops ascending and returns
to the Home Point at the current altitude. Pay attention to ight safety during RTH.
• If the Home Point is within the Altitude Zone but the aircraft is not, when the aircraft
reaches the Altitude Zone it will descend below the altitude limit, which may be lower
than the set RTH altitude. Fly with caution.
• The aircraft will bypass any GEO zones encountered when it is ying forward during
Advanced RTH. Fly with caution.
• The aircraft will exit RTH if the surrounding environment is too complex to complete
RTH, even if the vision systems are working properly.
• If the O4 video transmission is obstructed and disconnects, the aircraft can only rely
on the 4G connectivity of Enhanced Transmission. Considering there may be large
obstacles on the RTH route, to ensure safety during RTH, the RTH route will take the
previous flight path as reference. When using Enhanced Transmission, pay more
attention to the battery status and the RTH route in the map.
Landing Protection is enabled once the aircraft begins to land.
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
conrmation.
3. If Landing Protection is not operational, DJI Fly will display a landing prompt when the
aircraft descends to 0.5 m from the ground. Tap conrm or push the throttle stick all the
way down and hold for one second, and the aircraft will land.
Precision Landing
The aircraft automatically scans and attempts to match the terrain features below during RTH.
The aircraft will land when the current terrain matches the Home Point. A prompt will appear in
DJI Fly if the terrain match fails.
• Landing Protection is activated during Precision Landing.
• The performance of Precision Landing 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 terrain features of the Home
Point.
b. During takeo, the aircraft must ascend at least 7 m before moving horizontally.
c. The Home Point terrain features must remain largely unchanged.
d. The terrain features of the Home Point must be suciently distinctive. Terrain such
as a snow-covered eld is not suitable.
e. The lighting conditions must not be too bright or too dark.
• The following actions are available during Precision Landing:
a. Press the throttle stick down to accelerate landing.
b. Movement of any other control stick apart from the throttle stick will be regarded
as giving up Precision Landing. The aircraft will descend vertically after the control
sticks are released. Landing Protection is still eective in this case.
DJI Mini 4 Pro is equipped with both an omnidirectional vision system (forward, backward,
lateral, upward), downward vision system, and 3D infrared sensing system, which allows for
positioning and omnidirectional obstacle sensing.
The omnidirectional vision system consists of four cameras which are located at the front of
the aircraft. The downward vision system consists of two cameras, located at the bottom of the
aircraft. The vision systems sense obstacles by image ranging.
The 3D infrared sensing system on the bottom consists of a 3D infrared emitter and a receiver.
The 3D infrared sensing system helps the aircraft to assess the distance to obstacles, the
distance to the ground, and calculate the aircraft position together with the downward vision
system. The 3D infrared sensing system meets the human eye safety requirement for Class 1
laser products.
The auxiliary light located at the bottom of the aircraft can assist the downward vision system.
It will automatically turn on by default in low-light environments when the flight altitude is
under 5 m. Users can also turn it on or o manually in the DJI Fly app. Each time the aircraft is
restarted, the auxiliary light will revert back to the default setting Auto.

The positioning function of the downward vision system is applicable when GNSS signals are
unavailable or weak. It is automatically enabled in Normal or Cine mode.
The omnidirectional vision system will activate automatically when the aircraft is in Normal
or Cine mode and Obstacle Avoidance is set to Bypass or Brake in DJI Fly. The omnidirectional
vision system works best with adequate lighting and clearly marked or textured obstacles. Due
to inertia, users must make sure to brake the aircraft within a reasonable distance.
Vision Positioning and Obstacle Sensing can be disabled in System Settings > Safety > Advanced
Safety Settings in DJI Fly.
• Pay attention to the ight environment. The vision system and the 3D infrared sensing
system only work in certain scenarios and cannot replace human control and judgment.
During a ight, always pay attention to the surrounding environment and the warnings
in DJI Fly, and be responsible for and maintain control of the aircraft at all times.
• The downward vision system works best when the aircraft is at an altitude from 0.5 to
30 m if there is no GNSS available. Extra caution is required if the altitude of the aircraft
is above 30 m as the vision positioning performance may be aected.
• In low-light environments, the vision systems may not achieve optimal positioning
performance even if the auxiliary light is turned on. Fly with caution if the GNSS signal is
weak in such environments.
• The downward vision system may not work properly when the aircraft is flying near
water. Therefore, the aircraft may not be able to actively avoid water below it when
landing. It is recommended to maintain flight control at all times, make reasonable
judgments based on the surrounding environment, and avoid over-relying on the
downward vision system.
• The vision systems cannot accurately identify large structures with frames and cables,
such as tower cranes, high-voltage transmission towers, high-voltage transmission lines,
cable-stayed bridges, and suspension bridges.
• The vision systems cannot work properly near surfaces without clear pattern variations
or where the light is too weak or too strong. The vision systems cannot work properly in
the following situations:
a. Flying near monochrome surfaces (e.g., pure black, white, red, or green).
b. Flying near highly reective surfaces.
c. Flying near water or transparent surfaces.
d. Flying near moving surfaces or objects.
e. Flying in an area with frequent and drastic lighting changes.
f. Flying near extremely dark (< 10 lux) or bright (> 40,000 lux) surfaces.
g. Flying near surfaces that strongly reect or absorb infrared waves (e.g., mirrors).
h. Flying near surfaces without clear patterns or textures.
i. Flying near surfaces with repeating identical patterns or textures (e.g., tiles with the
same design).
j. Flying near obstacles with small surface areas (e.g., tree branches, and power lines).
• Keep the sensors clean at all times. DO NOT scratch or tamper with the sensors. DO
NOT use the aircraft in dusty or humid environments.
• Vision system cameras may need to be calibrated after being stored for an extended
period. A prompt will appear in DJI Fly and calibration will be performed automatically.
• DO NOT y when it is rainy, smoggy, or the visibility is lower than 100 m.
• Check the following each time before takeo:
a. Make sure there are no stickers or any other obstructions over the glass of the
infrared sensing system and vision systems.
b. Use soft cloth if there is any dirt, dust, or water on the glass of the vision systems
and infrared sensing system. DO NOT use any cleaning product that contains
alcohol.
c. Contact DJI Support if there is any damage to the lenses of the infrared sensing and
vision systems.
• DO NOT obstruct the infrared sensing system and vision systems.
• The aircraft can y at any time of the day or night. However, the vision systems become
unavailable when ying the aircraft at night. Fly with caution.
The Advanced Pilot Assistance Systems (APAS) feature is available in Normal mode and Cine
mode. When APAS is enabled, the aircraft will continue to respond to user commands and plan
its path according to both control stick inputs and the ight environment. APAS makes it easier
to avoid obstacles, obtain smoother footage, and give a better ying experience.
Keep moving the control sticks in any direction. The aircraft will bypass obstacles by flying
above, below, or to the left or right of the obstacle. The aircraft can also respond to the control
stick inputs while bypassing obstacles.
When APAS is enabled, the aircraft can be stopped by pressing the Flight Pause button on the
remote controller. The aircraft brakes and hovers for three seconds and awaits further pilot
commands.
To enable APAS, open DJI Fly, enter Settings > Safety, and enable APAS by selecting Bypass.
Select Normal or Nifty mode when using Bypass. In Nifty mode, the aircraft can fly faster,
smoother, and closer to obstacles obtaining better footage while bypassing obstacles. However,
the risk of crashing into obstacles will increase. Fly with caution.
Nifty mode cannot work normally in the following situations:
1. When aircraft orientation changes rapidly ying near obstacles.
2. When ying through narrow obstacles such as canopies or bushes at high speed.
3. When ying near obstacles that are too small to detect.
4. When ying with the propeller guard.
Landing Protection
Landing Protection will activate if Obstacle Avoidance is set to Bypass or Brake and the user
pushes the throttle stick down to land the aircraft. Landing Protection is enabled once the
aircraft begins to land.
1. During Landing Protection, the aircraft will automatically detect if an area is suitable for
landing, and then land the aircraft.
2. If the ground is determined to be unsuitable for landing, the aircraft will hover when the
aircraft descends to 0.8 m above ground. Push down on the throttle stick for at least ve
seconds, and the aircraft will land without obstacle sensing.
• Make sure to use APAS when the vision systems are available. Make sure there are no
people, animals, objects with small surface areas (e.g., tree branches), or transparent
objects (e.g., glass or water) along the desired ight path.
• Make sure to use APAS when the downward vision systems are available or the GNSS
signal is strong. APAS may not function properly when the aircraft is ying over water or
snow-covered areas.
• Be extra cautious when flying in extremely dark (<300 lux) or bright (>10,000 lux)
environments.
• Pay attention to DJI Fly and make sure APAS is working normally.
• APAS may not function properly when the aircraft is ying near ight limits or in a GEO zone.
The vision assist view, powered by the horizontal vision system, changes the horizontal speed
direction (forward, backward, left, and right) to help users navigate and observe obstacles
during ight. Swipe left on the attitude indicator, right on the mini map, or tap the icon in the
lower right corner of the attitude indicator to switch to the vision assist view.
• When using vision assist, the quality of the video transmission may be lower due to
transmission bandwidth limits, cell phone performance, or the video transmission
resolution of the screen on the remote controller.
• It is normal for propellers to appear in the vision assist view.
• Vision assist should be used for reference only. Glass walls and small objects such as
tree branches, electric wires, and kite strings cannot be displayed accurately.
• Vision assist is not available when the aircraft has not taken off or when the video
transmission signal is weak.

• The FOV of the vision assist in all directions is approximately 80°. It is normal not to see
obstacles in the eld of view during a collision warning.
• The collision warning is not controlled by the Display Radar Map switch and remains
visible even when the radar map is switched o.
• A collision warning appears only when the vision assist view is displayed in the small window.
Flight Recorder
Flight data including flight telemetry, aircraft status information, and other parameters are
automatically saved to the internal data recorder of the aircraft. The data can be accessed using
DJI Assistant 2 (Consumer Drones Series).
Propellers
There are two types of propellers, which are designed to spin in dierent directions. Marks are
used to indicate which propellers should be attached to which motors. Make sure to match the
propellers and motors by following the instructions.
Attach the marked propellers to the motors of the marked arm, and the unmarked propellers to
the motors of the unmarked arm. Use the screwdriver from the aircraft package to mount the
propellers. Make sure the propellers are secure.
MarkedUnmarked
• Make sure to only use the screwdriver from the aircraft package for mounting
propellers. Using other screwdrivers may damage the screws.
• Make sure to keep the screws vertical while tightening them. The screws should not be
at a tilted angle to the mounting surface. After installation is complete, check whether
the screws are ush and rotate the propellers to check for any abnormal resistance.
Detaching the propellers
Use the screwdriver from the aircraft package to loosen the screws and detach the propellers
from the motors.
• Propeller blades are sharp. Handle with care.
• The screwdriver is only for mounting the propellers. DO NOT use the screwdriver to

be set to RTH, Descend, or Hover.
Emergency Only indicates that the motors can only be stopped by
performing a combination stick command (CSC) for at least 2 seconds midight in an emergency situation, such as if there is a collision, a motor has
stalled, the aircraft is rolling in the air, or the aircraft is out of control and is
ascending or descending very quickly. Anytime indicates that the motors can
be stopped mid-ight anytime once user performs a CSC.
Stopping the motors mid-ight will cause the aircraft to crash.
When Vision Positioning and Obstacle Sensing are disabled, the aircraft
relies only on GNSS to hover, omnidirectional obstacle sensing is
unavailable, and the aircraft will not automatically decelerate during
descent close to the ground. Extra caution is required when Vision
Positioning and Obstacle Sensing are disabled. Vision Positioning and
Obstacle Sensing can be temporarily disabled in clouds and fog or
when an obstacle is detected when landing. Keep Vision Positioning and
Obstacle Sensing enabled in regular ight scenarios. Vision Positioning
and Obstacle Sensing are enabled by default after restarting the aircraft.
Vision Positioning and Obstacle Sensing are only available when
ying manually and are unavailable in modes such as RTH, auto landing,
and Intelligent Flight Mode.
Subject ScanningWhen enabled, the aircraft automatically scans and displays subjects
in the camera view (only available for single-shot and normal video
modes).
FocusTrack Settings set tracking distance and height of the Inner/Outer circle for dierent
kinds of tracking subject, select Camera Motion when the aircraft is
bypassing obstacles, enable or disable Near-Ground Flight, and reset
FocusTrack Settings.
Gain and Expo
Tuning
• When releasing the joystick, an increased brake sensitivity reduces the braking
distance of the aircraft, while a decreased brake sensitivity increases the braking
distance. Fly with caution.
• Gimbal Settings: tap to set the gimbal mode, perform gimbal calibration, and recenter the
gimbal or move it downward.
• Remote Controller Settings: tap to set the function of the customizable button, calibrate the
remote controller, switch control stick modes. Make sure to understand the operations of a
stick mode before changing the control stick mode.
• Flight Tutorial: view the ight tutorial.
• Re-pair to Aircraft (Link): tap to start linking when the aircraft is not linked to the remote
controller.
Supports the gain and expo settings to be ne-tuned for the aircraft
and the gimbal in dierent ight modes, including the max horizontal
speed, max ascent speed, max descent speed, max angular velocity,
yaw smoothness, brake sensitivity, expo, and the gimbal max tilt
control speed and tilt smoothness.
