Introduction

The Matrice 210/Matrice 210 RTK (M210/M210 RTK) is a powerful aerial imaging system with class­leading agility and speed, redundant components for maximum reliability, and new smart features that make performing complex tasks easy. Gimbal cameras can be easily exchanged to suit your application's needs. Dual frequency remote controller transmission makes HD video downlink more
stable and efcient. Upgraded With TapFlyTM and ActiveTrackTM ight modes, the aircraft can y
anywhere you tap on screen and track moving subjects effortlessly.

Feature Highlights

The aircraft’s mechanical design, along with quick-release landing gears and folding arms, makes
it easy to transport, store, and prepare for ight. The drone’s new airframe design gives it an IP43
Ingress Protection Rating, in accordance with the global IEC 60529 standard.
Flight Controller: The flight controller has been updated to provide a safer, more reliable flight
experience. A new ight recorder stores critical data from each ight. A system of visual sensors enhance hovering precision when ying indoors or in environments where GPS is unavailable. Dual
IMUs and barometers design provides redundancy.
HD Video Downlink: The low-latency long range (up to 4.3mi (7km)) HD downlink is powered by an en hanced version of DJI LIGHTBRIDGETM. Support of 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz ensures a more reliable con nection in environments with more interference.
Camera and Gimbal: The camera unit is now independent from image processor so that you have the flexibility to choose the perfect gimbal and camera system (including ZENMUSETM X5S/X4S/XT*/XT 2, and Z30) for each of your application. This means that regardless of which camera you choose, you have the same powerful processing backing it. The M210/M210 RTK can support a single upward gimbal or dual downward gimbals.* It is equipped with many expansion ports to broaden its applications. The M210 RTK has a built-in DJI D-RTKTM, which provides more accurate heading data for positioning.
Intelligent Flight Battery: The Intelligent Flight Battery features upgraded battery cells and an advanced power management system. Without a payload, the M210 provides up to 27 minutes of
ight with TB50-M200 batteries and 38 minutes with high-capacity batteries (TB55). The M210 RTK offers up to 23-minute and 32-minute no-payload ight times with TB50-M200 and high-capacity
batteries, respectively.
* The Zenmuse XT Gimbal Adapter is required when mounting the Zenmuse XT gimbal to the Matrice 200 series
aircraft.
Both DJI GO 4 and DJI Pilot support the Zenmuse X5S, X4S, and Z30. DJI Pilot is required if using the Zenmuse XT
and XT 2.
Gimbals can be purchased separately from the ofcial DJI Online Store.
A GPS module is required when using a single upward gimbal. DO NOT use an upward and downward gimbal
simultaneously.
DJI Pilot is required if using the dual downward gimbals.

Aircraft
This section describes the features of the Flight Controller, Vision System, and the Intelligent Flight Battery.

Aircraft

Flight Controller

The M210/M210 RTK ight controller features several important upgrades. Safety modes include
Failsafe and Return-to-Home. These features ensure the safe return of your aircraft if control signal
is lost. The ight controller can also save critical ight data from each ight to the on-board storage device. The new ight controller also provides increased stability and a new air braking feature.

Flight Mode

The following ight modes are available for the aircraft:
P-mode (Positioning) :
P-mode works best when the GPS signal is strong. The aircraft utilizes the GPS and Forward and Downward Vision Systems to locate itself, automatically stabilize, and navigate between obstacles. Intelligent Flight Modes such as TapFly and ActiveTrack are enabled in this mode.
When the Forward Vision System is enabled and lighting conditions are sufcient, the maximum
flight attitude angle is 25°. When forward obstacle sensing is disabled, the maximum flight attitude angle is 30°. When the GPS signal is weak and lighting conditions are too dark for the Forward and Downward Vision Systems, the aircraft will only use its barometer for positioning to control altitude. Note: P-mode requires larger stick movements to achieve higher speeds.
S-mode (Sport):
The aircraft uses GPS for positioning. As Forward and Downward Vision Systems are disabled, the aircraft will not be able to sense and avoid obstacles when in Sport Mode. Ground Station and the Intelligent Flight functions are also not available in Sport Mode. Note: Aircraft responses are optimized for agility and speed making it more responsive to stick movements.
A-mode (Attitude):
When neither the GPS nor the Vision Systems are available, the aircraft will only use its barometer for positioning to control the altitude. Ground Station and the Intelligent Flight functions are also not available in A-mode.
The Forward Vision System is disabled in S-mode (Sport), which means the aircraft will
not be able to automatically avoid obstacles in its ight path. Be vigilant and stay clear of nearby obstacles.
The aircraft’s maximum speed and braking distance are signicantly increased in S-mode
(Sport). A minimum braking distance of 164 feet (50 meters) is required in windless conditions.
The aircraft’s responsiveness is signicantly increased in S-mode (Sport), which means a small
stick movement on the remote controller will translate into a large travel distance of the aircraft.
Be vigilant and maintain adequate maneuvering space during ight.
The aircraft’s descent speed is signicantly increased in S-mode (Sport). A minimum braking
distance of 164 feet (50 meters) is required in windless conditions.
Use the Flight Mode switch on the remote controller to select aircraft ight modes.
©
15
MATRICE 200 SERIES User Manual
Atti Mode Warning
The aircraft will enter A-mode in the following two instances:
Passive:
When there is weak GPS signal or when the compass experiences interference where the
Vision System is unavailable.
Active:
Users toggle the ight mode switch to A-mode.
In A-mode, the Vision System and some advanced features are disabled. Therefore, the aircraft cannot position or auto-brake in this mode and is easily affected by its surroundings, which may result in horizontal shifting. Use the remote controller to position the aircraft.
Maneuvering the aircraft in A-mode can be difcult. Before switching the aircraft into A-mode, make sure you are comfortable ying in this mode. DO NOT y the aircraft too far away as you might lose
control and cause a potential hazard.
Avoid ying in areas where GPS signal is weak, or in conned spaces. The aircraft will otherwise be forced to enter A-mode, leading to potential ight hazards, please land it in a safe place as soon as
possible.

Flight Status Indicator

The aircraft features Front LEDs, a Rear LED, and Aircraft Status Indicators. The positions of these
LEDs are shown in the gure below:
Aircraft Status Indicator
Front LED Rear LED
The Front LEDs show the orientation of the aircraft. Front LEDs glow solid red when the aircraft is turned on to indicate the front (or nose) of the aircraft. Front and rear LEDs can be turned off in the
DJI GO 4 app. The Aircraft Status Indicators communicate the system status of the ight controller.
Refer to the table below for more information about the Aircraft Status Indicators.

Vision System and Infrared Sensing System

The main components of the Vision System are located on the front and bottom of the aircraft, in­cluding [1] [3] stereo vision sensors and [2] two ultrasonic sensors. The Vision Sys tem uses ultra­sound and image data to help the aircraft maintain its current position, enabling precision hovering indoors or in environments where a GPS signal is not available. The Vision System constantly scans for obstacles, allowing the aircraft to avoid them by going over, going around, or hovering.
The Infrared Sensing System consists [4] of two infrared modules on top of the aircraft. These scan
for obstacles on top side of the aircraft and is active in certain ight modes.

MATRICE 200 SERIES User Manual
Follow the steps below to use the Vision System:
1. Ensure the aircraft is in P-mode and place the aircraft on a at surface. Note
that the Vision System cannot work properly on surfaces without clear pattern variations.
2. Turn on the aircraft. The aircraft will hover in place after takeoff. The aircraft status indicators will flash green twice, which indicates the Vision System is working. Gently push the left stick up to lift off and the aircraft will hover in place.
Assisted Braking from Obstacle Sensing
Powered by the Forward Vision System, the aircraft is able to actively brake when obstacles are detected in front. Obstacle Sensing works best when lighting is adequate and the obstacle is
clearly textured. The aircraft must y at no more than 31 mph (50 kph) to allow for sufcient braking
distance.
Using Infrared Sensing System
The Infrared Sensing System can only be used to avoid large, diffuse, and reflective obstacles
(reectivity >10%). Please be mindful of blind spots (Grey) of the Infrared Sensing System.
©
20
MATRICE 200 SERIES User Manual
The performance of your Vision System and Infrared Sensing System is affected by the surface
being own over. Ultrasonic sensors may not be able to accurately measure distances when
operating above sound-absorbing materials and the cameras may not function correctly in suboptimal environments. The aircraft will switch from P-mode to A-mode automatically if neither GPS nor Vision System and Infrared Sensing System are available. Operate the aircraft with great caution in the following situations.
The Vision System will be disabled when: a) Flying over monochrome surfaces (e.g. pure black, pure white, pure red, 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 areas where the lighting changes frequently or drastically.
f) Flying over extremely dark (lux < 10) or bright (lux > 100,000) surfaces.
g) Flying over surfaces without clear patterns or texture. h) Flying over surfaces with identical repeating patterns or textures (e.g. tiling). i) Flying at high speeds of over 31 mph (50 kph) at 2 meters or over 11 mph (18 kph) at
1 meter. The Ultrasonic sensors will be disabled when: a) Flying over surfaces that can absorb sound waves (e.g. thick carpet).
b) Flying over inclined surfaces that will deect sound waves away from the aircraft.
The Infrared be disabled when:
a) Flying over obstacles with too small effective infrared reective surface.
b) DO NOT cover the protective glass of the infrared module. Keep it clean and undamaged.
Keep sensors clean at all times. Dirt or other debris may adversely affect their effectiveness. Vision System is only effective when the aircraft is at altitudes of 0.3 to 10 meters.
The Vision System may not function properly when the aircraft is ying over water.
The Vision System may not be able to recognize pattern on the ground in low light
conditions (less than 100 lux).
Do not use other ultrasonic devices with frequency of 40 KHz when Vision System is in
operation.
Keep away from animals while operating the aircraft, as the ultrasonic sensors emit high­frequency sounds which may disturb them.

Return-to-Home (RTH)

The Return-to-Home (RTH) function brings the aircraft back to the last recorded Home Point. There are three types of RTH: Smart RTH, Low Battery RTH, and Failsafe RTH. This section describes these three RTH types in detail.
Description
©
21
Home Point
GPS
If a strong GPS signal was acquired before takeoff, the Home Point is the location from which the aircraft launched. The GPS signal strength is indicated by the GPS icon . Less than 4 bars is considered a weak GPS signal. The aircraft status indicator will blink rapidly when the home point is recorded.
MATRICE 200 SERIES User Manual
The aircraft can sense and avoid obstacles when the Forward Vision System is enabled and
lighting conditions are sufcient. The aircraft will automatically ascend to avoid obstacles and
descend slowly as it returns to the home point. To ensure the aircraft returns home while facing
forward, it cannot rotate or y left and right during RTH while the Forward Vision System is
enabled.
Smart RTH
Use the RTH button on the remote controller or tap the RTH button in the DJI GO 4 app and follow the on-screen instructions when GPS is available to initiate Smart RTH. The aircraft will then automatically return to the last recorded Home Point. Use the remote controller to control the aircraft’s speed or altitude to avoid a collision during the Smart RTH process. As the aircraft returns, it will use the primary camera to identify obstacles as far as 300m in front, allowing it to plan a safe route home. Press and hold the Smart RTH button once to start the process, and press the Smart RTH button again to terminate the procedure and regain full control of the aircraft.
Low Battery RTH (Can be turned off in DJI GO 4 app)
The low battery level failsafe is triggered when the DJI Intelligent Flight Battery is depleted to a point that may affect the safe return of the aircraft. Users are advised to return home or land the aircraft immediately when prompted. The DJI GO 4 app will display a notice when a low battery warning is triggered. The aircraft will automatically return to the Home Point if no action is taken after a ten­second countdown. The user can cancel the RTH procedure by pressing the RTH button on the remote controller. The thresholds for these warnings are automatically determined based on the aircraft’s current altitude and distance from the Home Point. If the RTH procedure is cancelled following a low battery level warning the Intelligent Flight Battery may not have enough charge 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. The user cannot cancel the auto landing but can use the remote controller to alter the aircraft’s orientation during the landing process.
The Battery Level Indicator is displayed in the DJI GO 4 app, and is described below:

Instructions
Failsafe RTH
If the Home Point was successfully recorded and the compass is functioning normally, Failsafe RTH will be automatically activated if the remote controller signal is lost for more than three seconds.
The aircraft will plan its return route and retrace its original ight route home. The user may cancel
Failsafe RTH to regain control when connection is reestablished.
RTH Procedure
1. Home Point is recorded automatically.
2. RTH procedure is triggered i.e., Smart RTH, Low-Battery RTH, and Failsafe RTH.
3. Home Point is conrmed and the aircraft adjusts its orientation.
4. a. The aircraft will ascend to the pre-set RTH attitude and then y to the Home Point when the
aircraft is further than 20 m from the Home Point.
b. The aircraft will land automatically if RTH is triggered and the aircraft is less than 20 m from the
home point.
5. The aircraft will hover 0.7 m above ground and wait for conrmation from the user. The aircraft will land and stop its motors after user conrmation.

RTH Altitude
Use the Failsafe RTH for example:
1. Record Home Point 2. Remote Control Signal Lost
3. Signal Lost for Extended Time
4. RTH (Adjustable Altitude)
Height over HP>Failsafe Altitude
Elevate to Failsafe Altitude
Failsafe Altitude
Height over HP<=Failsafe Altitude
5. Landing (After User Conrmation)
Hovering at 0.7 meters above the Home Point
Aircraft cannot return to the Home Point when GPS signal is weak ( [ ] Less than 4
bars is considered a weak GPS signal) or unavailable.
User cannot control the aircraft while the aircraft is ascending to 65 feet (20 meters) from
the current altitude. However, users can press the RTH button once to exit ascending and regain control.
The aircraft will automatically descend and land if RTH is triggered when the aircraft ies
within a 65 feet (20 meters) radius of the Home Point. The aircraft will stop ascending and will return to the Home Point if the aircraft reaches 65 feet (20 meters) in altitude or beyond during Failsafe.
The aircraft cannot avoid obstacles during Failsafe RTH if the Forward Vision System is
disabled. It is important to set a suitable RTH Altitude before each ight. Launch DJI GO 4,
enter camera and tap to set Failsafe Altitude.
Failsafe Safety Notices
The aircraft cannot avoid obstacles during Failsafe RTH when the Forward Vision System is disabled. Therefore, it is important to set a
suitable Failsafe altitude before each ight. Launch the DJI GO 4 app,
enter Camera and tap to set the Failsafe Altitude.
If the aircraft is ying under 65 feet (20 meters) and Failsafe (including
20 m
Smart RTH, Lower Battery RTH) is triggered, the aircraft will first automatically ascend to 65 feet (20 meters) from the current altitude. You can only cancel the ascending by exiting the Failsafe.

The aircraft automatically descends and lands if RTH is triggered when
the aircraft ies within a 65 foot (20 meter) radius of the Home Point. The
aircraft will stop ascending and immediately return to the Home Point if
you move the left stick when the aircraft is ying at an altitude of 65 feet (20
meters) or higher and Failsafe is triggered.
The aircraft cannot return to the Home Point when GPS signal is weak ( [ ] displaying less than four bars) or is unavailable.
MATRICE 200 SERIES User Manual
If you move the left stick when the aircraft is flying above 65 feet (20 meters) but below the pre-set Failsafe RTH altitude, the aircraft will stop ascending and immediately return to the Home Point.
Obstacle Avoidance During RTH
The aircraft can sense and actively attempt to avoid obstacles during RTH, provided that lighting conditions are adequate for the Forward Vision System. Upon detecting an obstacle, the aircraft will act as follows:
1. The aircraft will use the primary camera to identify obstacles as far away as 984 feet (300 meters)
in front, allowing it to plan a safe route home.
2. The aircraft decelerates when an obstacle is sensed at 49 feet (15 meters) ahead.
3. The aircraft stops and hovers then starts ascending vertically to avoid the obstacle. Eventually,
the aircraft will stop climbing when it is at least 16 feet (5 meters) above the detected obstacle.
4. RTH procedure resumes. The aircraft will continue ying to the Home Point at the current altitude.
5 meters
300 meters
15 meters
Obstacle Sensing is disabled during RTH descent. Proceed with care.
To ensure the aircraft returns home forwards, it cannot rotate during RTH while the For-
ward Vision System is enabled.
The aircraft cannot avoid obstacles beside or behind it.
Landing Protection Function
Landing Protection will activate during auto-landing.
1. Landing Protection determines whether the ground is suitable for landing. If so, the aircraft will land smoothly.
2. If Landing Protection determines that the ground is not suitable for landing, the aircraft will hover and
wait for pilot conrmation. The aircraft will hover if it detects the ground is not appropriate for landing even with a critically low battery warning. Only when the battery level decreases to 0% will the aircraft land. Users retain control of aircraft ight orientation.
3. If Landing Protection is inactive, the DJI GO 4 app will display a landing prompt when the aircraft
descends below 0.7 meters. Tap to conrm or pull down the control stick for 2 seconds to land when
the environment is appropriate for landing.

Landing Protection will not be active in the following circumstances:
When the user is controlling the pitch/roll/throttle sticks (Landing Protection will re-activate when the control sticks are not in use) When the positioning system is not fully functional (e.g. drift position error) When the downward vision system needs re-calibration
When light conditions are not sufcient for the downward vision system
If an obstacle is within one meter of the aircraft, the aircraft will descend to 0.7m above the
ground and hover. The aircraft will land after user conrmation.

Intelligent Flight Modes

The aircraft supports Intelligent Flight Modes, including TapFly, ActiveTrack*, and Tripod Mode. Tap in DJI GO 4 or press the Function button on the remote controller to enable an Intelligent Flight Mode.
* Zenmuse X4S or X5S is required when using the ActiveTrack. ActiveTrack is not supported when using the
Z30, XT and XT 2.
ActiveTrack is not supported to use with the dual downward gimbals.
TapFly
Introduction
With the TapFly feature, users can now tap on the mobile device screen to y in the designated direction
without using the remote controller. The aircraft will automatically avoid obstacles it sees or brake and
hover in front of them, provided that there is sufcient light between (< 300 lux) and (> 10,000 lux).
Using TapFly
Ensure that the Intelligent Flight Battery is fully charged and the aircraft is in P-mode. Follow the steps below to use TapFly:
1. Take off and ensure the aircraft is hovering at least 6 ft (2 m) above ground.
2. Launch DJI GO 4 and tap , Select TapFly, then follow the prompts.

DO NOT y the aircraft over people, animals, small or ne objects (e.g. tree branches and power
lines) or transparent objects (e.g. glass or water). TapFly may not work properly when the aircraft
is ying over water or snow covered areas.
Watch for obstacles in the ight path and steer clear of them.
There may be deviations between expected and actual ight paths selected in TapFly.
The selectable range for target direction is limited. You cannot make a selection in Direction close
to the upper or lower edge of the screen.
Be extra cautious when ying in too dark (< 300 lux) or too bright (>10,000 lux) environments.
Enable control stick control of the gimbal inside DJI GO 4 to control gimbal orientation using the
remote controller. When using the control sticks, the gimbal will automatically switch to Free mode.
In this situation, the control stick used to control pitch on the aircraft now controls gimbal pitch,
and the control stick used to control aircraft roll now controls gimbal pan. The left dial now controls
ight speed.
After conrming your TapFly selection, the aircraft will y in the direction marked by the icon. Note that you
can still use the control stick to control the movement of the aircraft during the ight.
