Introduction

DJI Mini 2 SE boasts a foldable design and an ultralight weight of 246 g. Featuring a Downward Vision

System and Infrared Sensing System, DJI Mini 2 SE 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 SE shoots 2.7K video and 12MP photos. The Intelligent Flight Mode QuickShots

provide ve sub modes.

DJI Mini 2 SE comes equipped with the DJI RC-N1 remote controller, which boasts DJI’s long-range

transmission OCUSYNC

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 SE has a maximum flight speed of 36 mph (57.6 kph) and a maximum flight 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.

Aircraft

DJI Mini 2 SE contains a ight controller,

video downlink system, vision system,

propulsion system, and an Intelligent

Flight Battery.

Aircraft

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

an Intelligent Flight Battery.

Flight Modes

DJI Mini 2 SE has three ight modes, plus a fourth ight 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.

The 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. 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 aircraft cannot position itself or brake automatically in this mode, therefore the pilot should

land the aircraft as soon as possible to avoid accidents.

The aircraft cannot sense obstacles on its route automatically. The pilot should stay alert about the

surrounding environment and control the aircraft to avoid obstacles.

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.

Return to Home

The Return to Home (RTH) function brings the aircraft back to the last recorded Home Point and lands

when the GPS 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

Home Point

The default Home Point is the first location where the aircraft received a

strong or moderately strong GPS signal (where the icon shows white). It is

recommended to wait until the Home Point is successfully recorded before

ying. After the Home Point is recorded, the aircraft status indicator blinks

green and a prompt appears in DJI Fly. If it is necessary to update the Home

Point during the ight (such as if the user changes position), the Home Point

can be manually updated under Safety in System Settings on DJI Fly.

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

To avoid unnecessary danger due to insucient power, DJI Mini 2 SE 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

aircraft to land safely, which may lead to the aircraft crashing or being lost.

The aircraft will land automatically if the battery level is extremely low. Auto landing cannot be canceled

but the remote controller can be used to alter the horizontal movement and the descent speed of the

aircraft during landing (the descend speed cannot be adjusted when the battery level can only last long

enough to descend from its current altitude).

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.

DJI MINI 2 SE User Manual

Failsafe RTH

In DJI Fly, users can set the action of the aircraft as Return to Home, Land, or Hover when the remote

controller signal is lost. If the action was set as Return to Home, and where the Home Point has

been recorded, the GPS signal is good, and the compass is functioning normally, Failsafe RTH will

automatically activate after the remote controller signal is lost for more than 11 seconds.

The aircraft will y backward for 50 m on its original ight route and ascend to the present RTH altitude

to enter Straight Line RTH. When the aircraft ies backwardF along the original ight route and is less

than 20 m from the Home Point, it will stop ying backward on the original ight route and enter Straight

Line RTH at the current altitude.

The aircraft will enter or remain in Straight Line RTH if the remote controller signal is restored during RTH.

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. a. 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.

b. If the aircraft is farther than 20 m from the Home Point when RTH begins, it will ascend to the

present RTH altitude and return home at a horizontal speed of 10.5 m/s. If the current altitude is

higher than the RTH altitude, the aircraft will y to the Home Point at the current altitude.

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.

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. When the aircraft is ascending or ying forward, the user can push the control stick

completely in the opposite direction to make the aircraft exit RTH and hover in place.

GEO zones will aect RTH. If the aircraft ies into a GEO zone during RTH it will hover in place.

The aircraft may not be able to return to a Home Point when the wind speed is too high. Fly with

caution.

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.

Infrared Sensing System

Downward Vision System

Landing Protection

Landing Protection will activate during Smart RTH and Auto Landing.

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 SE 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 SE 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 help the aircraft maintain

its current position, hover in place more precisely, and to y indoors or in other environments where GPS

is unavailable.

DJI MINI 2 SE 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 unavailable.

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).

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 restrict 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 ight 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 http://www.dji.com/ysafe.

Flight Limits

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 GPS

Max

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.

GEO Zones

All GEO zones are listed on the DJI ocial website at http://www.dji.com/ysafe. GEO zones are divided

into dierent categories and include locations such as airports, airelds where manned aircraft operate

at low altitudes, national borders, and sensitive locations such as power plants. By default, the GEO

system limits ights into or takeos within zones that may cause safety or security concerns.

You will receive a prompt in DJI Fly if your aircraft is approaching a GEO zone and the aircraft will be

restricted from ying in the area.

DJI MINI 2 SE User Manual

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.

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.
