Introduction

Featuring a Downward Vision System and Infrared Sensing System, DJI Mini SE can hover and fly

indoors as well as outdoors and Return to Home automatically. With a fully stabilized 3-axis gimbal and

1/2.3” sensor camera, DJI Mini SE shoots 2.7K video and 12 MP photos.

Feature Highlights

DJI Mini SE boasts a foldable design and an ultralight weight of less than 249 g. The Intelligent Flight

Mode QuickShots provide four sub modes, which can automatically shoot and generate dierent styles

of video.

Using the advanced DJI flight controller, DJI Mini SE is able to provide a safe and reliable flight

experience. The aircraft is able to automatically return to its Home Point when the remote controller

signal is lost or the battery level is low, as well as being able to hover indoors at low altitudes.

DJI's enhanced Wi-Fi technology is built into the remote controller, supporting both 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz

frequencies and a transmission range of up to 2.49 mi (4 km), making it possible to stream 720p video to

your mobile device.

DJI Mini SE has a maximum ight speed of 29 mph (46.8 kph) and a maximum ight time of 30 minutes,

while the maximum runtime of the remote controller is 4.5 hours.

Preparing the Aircraft

All aircraft arms are folded before the aircraft is packaged. Follow the steps below to unfold the aircraft

arms.

1. Remove the gimbal cover from the camera.

2. Unfold the front arms.

3. Unfold the rear arms and then unfold all the propellers.

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.

DJI Mini SE User Manual

It is recommended to install a gimbal protector to protect the gimbal when the aircraft is not in use.

Aircraft

DJI Mini SE contains a ight controller,

video downlink system, vision system,

propulsion system, and an Intelligent

Flight Battery.

Aircraft

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

Intelligent Flight Battery.

Flight Modes

DJI Mini SE has three ight modes: Position, Sport, and CineSmooth. Users can switch between modes

in DJI Fly.

Position Mode: Positon mode works best when the GPS signal is strong. The aircraft utilizes GPS and

the Vision System to locate itself and stabilize. Intelligent Flight Mode is enabled in this mode. When the

Downward Vision System is enabled and lighting conditions are sucient, the maximum ight altitude

angle is 20° and the maximum ight speed is 8 m/s.

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

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

Sport Mode: In Sport mode, the aircraft uses GPS and 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 13 m/s, maximum ascent speed is 4 m/s, and maximum

descent speed is 3 m/s.

CineSmooth Mode: CineSmooth mode is based on Position mode and the flight speed is limited,

making the aircraft more stable during shooting. The maximum ight speed is 4 m/s, maximum ascent speed

is 1.5 m/s, and maximum descent speed is 1 m/s.

The aircraft’s maximum speed and braking distance signicantly increase in Sport mode. A minimum

braking distance of 30 m is required in windless conditions.

Descent speed significantly increases in Sport mode. A minimum braking distance of 10 m is

required in windless conditions.

The aircraft’s responsiveness 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.

DJI Mini SE User Manual

Aircraft Status Indicator

The aircraft status indicator is located at the rear of the aircraft. It communicates the status of the

aircraft’s ight control system. Refer to the table below for more information about the aircraft status

indicator.

Return to Home

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

types of RTH in detail. RTH will also be triggered if the video link is disconnected.

GPS

Description

Home

Point

The default Home Point is the rst 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ciently strong, 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

Low Battery RTH is triggered when the Intelligent Flight Battery is depleted to the point that the safe

return of the aircraft may be aected. Return home or land the aircraft immediately when prompted.

DJI Fly displays a warning when the battery level is low. The aircraft will automatically return to the Home

Point if no action is taken after a 10 second countdown.

The user can cancel RTH by pressing the RTH button on the remote controller. If RTH is cancelled

following a low battery level warning, the Intelligent Flight Battery may not have enough power for the

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

The aircraft will land automatically if the current battery level can only support the aircraft long enough

to descend from its current altitude. The user cannot cancel the auto landing but can use the remote

controller to alter the aircraft’s direction 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.

Other RTH Scenarios

If the video link signal is lost during ight while the remote controller is still able to control the movements

of the aircraft, there will be a prompt to initiate RTH. RTH can be cancelled.

RTH Procedure

1. The Home Point is recorded.

2. RTH is triggered.

3. If the altitude is lower than 20 m, the aircraft ascends to the RTH altitude or 20 m, and then adjusts

its orientation. If the altitude is higher than 20 m, the aircraft adjusts its orientation immediately.

a. If the aircraft is further than 20 m from the Home Point when the RTH procedure begins, it ascends

to the preset RTH altitude and ies to the Home Point at a speed of 8 m/s. If the current altitude is

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

3 Remote Controller Signal Lost

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

signal become weak or unavailable after RTH is triggered, the aircraft will hover in place for a

while, and then start landing.

It is important to set a suitable RTH altitude before each ﬂight. Launch DJI Fly, and then set the

RTH altitude. In Smart RTH and Low Battery RTH, the aircraft automatically ascends to the RTH

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. The aircraft will ﬂy

directly to the Home Point at its current altitude.

During RTH, the aircraft’s speed, altitude, and the orientation can be controlled using the remote

controller if the remote controller signal is normal, but the direction of ight cannot be controlled.

GEO zones will affect RTH. If the aircraft ﬂies 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.

b. If the aircraft is less than 20 m from the Home Point when the RTH procedure begins, it lands

immediately.

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

FailSafe RTH Illustration

Landing Protection

Landing Protection will activate during Smart RTH.

1. During Landing Protection, the aircraft will automatically detect and gently land on suitable ground.

2. If Landing Protection determines that the ground is not suitable for landing, DJI Mini SE will hover

and wait for pilot conrmation.

3. If Landing Protection is not operational, DJI Fly will display a landing prompt when DJI Mini SE

descends below 0.5 meters. Pull down on the throttle stick or use the auto landing slider to land.

DJI Mini SE User Manual

Vision System and Infrared Sensing System

DJI Mini 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.

Infrared Sensing 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.

Using the Vision System

When GPS is unavailable, the Downward Vision System is enabled if the surface has a discernable

surface and sucient light. The Downward Vision System works best when the aircraft is at an altitude

of 0.5 to 10 m. If the aircraft’s altitude is above 10 m, the Vision System may be aected, so extra

caution is required.

Battery Level LEDs During Charging

The table below shows battery level during charging.

The battery cannot be charged if the aircraft is powered on and the aircraft cannot be powered

on during charging.

DO NOT charge an Intelligent Flight Battery immediately after ﬂight as the temperature may be

too high. Wait until it cools down to room temperature before charging again.

The charger stops charging the battery if the battery cell temperature is not within the operating

range of 41° to 104° F (5° to 40° C). The ideal charging temperature is 71.6° to 82.4° F (22° to 28° C).

The Battery Charging Hub (not included) can charge up to three batteries. Visit the ofﬁcial DJI

Online Store to learn more.

Fully charge the battery at least once every three months to maintain battery health.

It is recommended to use a QC2.0 USB charger to charge. DJI does not take any responsibility

for damage caused by using a charger that does not that meet the speciﬁed requirements.

When using the DJI 18W USB charger, the charging time is approximately 1 hour and 22 minutes.

It is recommended to discharge the Intelligent Flight Batteries to 30% or lower. This can be done

by ﬂying the aircraft outdoors until there is less than 30% charge left.

The blinking frequency of the battery level LEDs will be different when using different USB

charger. If the charging speed is fast, the battery level LEDs will blink quickly. If the charging

speed is extremely slow, the battery level LEDs will blink slowly (once every two seconds). It is

recommended to change the Micro USB cable or USB charger.

If there is no battery in the aircraft, LED 3 and 4 will blink three times alternatively.

The four LEDs blink simultaneously to indicate the battery is damaged.

Precision elements in the gimbal may be damaged in a collision or impact, which may cause the

gimbal to function abnormally.

Avoid getting dust or sand on the gimbal, especially in the gimbal motors.

A gimbal motor error may occur in the following situations:

a. The aircraft is on uneven ground or the gimbal is obstructed.

b. The gimbal experiences excessive external force, such as a collision.

DJI Mini SE User Manual

Camera Prole

DJI Mini SE uses a 1/2.3" CMOS sensor camera, which can shoot up to 2.7K video and 12 MP photos,

and supports shooting modes such as Single Shot and Interval.

The aperture of the camera is f/2.8 and can focus from 1 m to innity.

Storing Photos and Videos

DJI Mini SE supports the use of a microSD card to store your photos and videos. A UHS-I Speed Grade

3 rating microSD card is required due to the fast read and write speeds necessary for high-resolution

video data. Refer to the Specifications section for more information about recommended microSD

cards.

Make sure the temperature and humidity are suitable for the camera during usage and storage.

Use a lens cleanser to clean the lens to avoid damage.

card may be damaged.

To ensure the stability of the camera system, single video recordings are limited to 30 minutes.

Check camera settings before use to ensure they are conﬁgured as desired.

Before shooting important photos or videos, shoot a few images to test the camera is operating

correctly.

Photos or videos cannot be transmitted or copied from the camera if the aircraft powered off.

Make sure to power off the aircraft correctly. Otherwise, your camera parameters will not be

saved and any recorded videos may be damaged. DJI is not responsible for any failure of an

image or video to be recorded or having been recorded in a way that is not machine-readable.

DO NOT apply external force to the gimbal after the gimbal is powered on. DO NOT add any

extra payload to the gimbal as this may cause the gimbal to function abnormally or even lead to

permanent motor damage.

Make sure to remove the gimbal cover before powering on the aircraft. Also, make sure to mount

the gimbal cover when the aircraft is not in use.

Flying in heavy fog or clouds may make the gimbal wet, leading to temporary failure. The gimbal

recovers full functionality once it is dry.

This section describes safe ight

practices and ight restrictions.

Flight

Once pre-ight preparation is complete, it is recommended to hone your ight skills and practice ying

safely. Make sure that all ights are carried out in an open area. The ying height is limited to 500 m. DO

NOT exceed this height. Strictly abide by local laws and regulations when ying. Make sure to read the

DJI Mini SE Disclaimer and Safety Guidelines to understand the safety notices before ying.

Flight Environment Requirements

1. Do not use the aircraft in severe weather conditions including wind speeds exceeding 10 m/s, snow,

rain, and fog.

2. Only fly in open areas. Tall structures and large metal structures may affect the accuracy of the

onboard compass and GPS system. It is recommended to keep the aircraft at least 5 m away from

structures.

3. Avoid obstacles, crowds, high voltage power lines, trees, and bodies of water. It is recommended to

keep the aircraft at least 3 m above water.

4. Minimize interference by avoiding areas with high levels of electromagnetism such as locations near

power lines, base stations, electrical substations, and broadcasting towers.

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

temperature. DO NOT y the aircraft 3,000 m (9,842 ft) or higher above sea level. Otherwise, the

battery and aircraft performance may be reduced.

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

such locations.

7. Fly with caution when taking o from moving surfaces such as a moving boat or vehicle.

Flight Limits and GEO Zones

Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operators should abide by the regulations from self-regulatory

organizations such as the International Civil Aviation Organization, the Federal Aviation Administration,

and local aviation authorities. For safety reasons, flight limits are enabled by default to help users

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

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

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

Flight Altitude and Distance Limits

The ight altitude and distance limits can be changed in DJI Fly. Based on these settings, the aircraft will

y in a restricted cylinder, as shown below:

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 different categories and include locations such as airports, flying fields where manned aircraft

operate at low altitudes, borders between countries, and sensitive locations such as power plants.

There will be prompts in DJI Fly app alerting users of any nearby GEO zones.

Calibrating the Compass

It is recommended that the compass is calibrated in any of the following situations when ying outdoors:

1. Flying at a location further than 31 miles (50 km) away from the location the drone 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 (such as mobile phones) that contain ferromagnetic materials 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 the System Settings in DJI Fly, select “Control” and then select “Calibrate”, and follow the on-

screen instructions. The aircraft status indicator grows yellow, indicating calibration has start.

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

green.

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

Aircraft takeo weight includes battery, propellers, and a microSD card.

Registration not required in some countries and regions. Check local rules and regulations before use.

These specications have been determined through tests conducted with the latest rmware.

Firmware updates can enhance performance. It is highly recommended to update to the latest

rmware.

DJI Mini SE 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. Change your 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 repeat the calibration process.

After-Sales Information

added services such as DJI Care.

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.
