Product Profile

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 fly 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 five sub modes.

DJI Mini 2 SE comes equipped with the DJI RC-N1 remote controller, which boasts DJI’s long-range transmission OCUSYNC TM 2.0 technology, offering 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 flight time was tested in an environment with no wind while flying at a consistent 10.5 mph

(17 kph) and the maximum flight 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 fly in a single flight. 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 flight controller, video downlink system, vision system, propulsion system, and an Intelligent

Flight Battery.


Aircraft

DJI Mini 2 SE contains a flight controller, video downlink system, vision system, propulsion system, and an Intelligent Flight Battery.

Flight Modes

DJI Mini 2 SE has three flight modes, plus a fourth flight mode that the aircraft switches to in certain scenarios. Flight modes can be switched via the Flight Mode switch on the remote controller.

Normal Mode : The aircraft utilizes GPS and the Downward Vision System to locate itself and stabilize.

Intelligent Flight Mode is enabled in this mode. When the GPS signal is strong, the aircraft uses GPS to locate itself and stabilize. When the GPS is weak and the lighting conditions are sufficient, the aircraft uses the Downward Vision System to locate itself and stabilize. When the Downward Vision System is enabled and lighting conditions are sufficient, the maximum flight altitude angle is 25° and the maximum flight 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 flight 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 flight speed is limited, making the aircraft more stable during shooting. The maximum flight 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 affected by its surroundings. Environmental factors such as wind can result in horizontal shifting, which may present hazards, especially when flying in confined 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 significantly 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 responsiveness of the aircraft significantly 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 flight.

During video mode in Normal or Cine mode, the flight 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.




DJI Mini 2 SE has an aircraft status indicator, which shows the status of the flight control system of the aircraft. 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 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.

Home Point

GPS

10

Description

The default Home Point is the first location where the aircraft received a strong or moderately strong GPS signal (where the icon shows white). It is recommended to wait until the Home Point is successfully recorded before flying. 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 flight (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 sufficient, 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 insufficient power, DJI Mini 2 SE will intelligently determine whether the current battery level is sufficient 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 affected.

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.



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 fly backward for 50 m on its original flight route and ascend to the present RTH altitude to enter Straight Line RTH. When the aircraft flies backwardF along the original flight route and is less than 20 m from the Home Point, it will stop flying backward on the original flight 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 fly 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 flight. 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 first. If the altitude of the aircraft reaches or is higher than the RTH altitude, it will fly 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 flying 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 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.



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 confirmation.

3. If Landing Protection is not operational, DJI Fly will display a landing prompt when the aircraft descends below 0.5 m. Tap confirm 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 fly indoors or in other environments where GPS is unavailable.

Infrared Sensing System

Downward Vision System

Detection Fields

The Downward Vision System works best when the aircraft is at an altitude of 0.5 to 10 m and its operating range is 0.5 to 30 m.

56°

71°



Using the Vision Systems

When GPS is unavailable, the Downward Vision System is enabled if the surface has a clear texture and there is sufficient 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 affected. 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 takeoff. The aircraft status indicator blinks green twice, indicating the Downward Vision System is working.

Pay attention to the flight environment. The Downward Vision System and Infrared Sensing System only work under limited conditions and cannot replace human control and judgment. During flight, 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 flying over water.

Therefore, the aircraft may not be able to actively avoid water below when landing. It is recommended to maintain flight 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 flying too fast. The Infrared Sensing System only takes effect when the flight 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 reflective 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 reflect 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).



Keep the sensors clean at all times. DO NOT tamper with the sensors. DO NOT use the aircraft in environment with dust and humidity. DO NOT obstruct the Infrared Sensing System.

DO NOT fly when it is rainy, smoggy, or the visibility is lower than 100 m.

Check the following every time before takeoff: a) Make sure there are no stickers or any other obstructions over the Infrared Sensing System or

Downward Vision System.

b) If there is any dirt, dust, or water on the Infrared Sensing System or Downward Vision System, clean with a soft cloth. DO NOT use any cleanser that contains alcohol.

c) Contact DJI Support if there is any damage to the glass of the Infrared Sensing System or

Downward Vision System.

2. In DJI Fly, tap the shooting mode icon to select QuickShots and follow the prompts. Make sure that you understand how to use the shooting mode and that there are no obstacles in the surrounding area.

3. Choose a shooting mode, select your target subject in the camera view by tapping the circle on the subject or dragging a box around the subject, and tap Start to begin recording (It is recommended to choose a human as a target subject rather than a building). The aircraft will fly back to its original positon once shooting is finished.

4. Tap to access the short video or the original video. You can edit the video or share to social media after downloading.

Exiting QuickShots

Press the Flight Pause/RTH button once or tap in DJI Fly to exit QuickShots. The aircraft will hover in place.

Use QuickShots at locations that are clear of buildings and other obstacles. Make sure that there are no humans, animals, or other obstacles on the flight path.

Pay attention to objects around the aircraft and use the remote controller to avoid collisions with the aircraft.

DO NOT use QuickShots in any of the following situations: a) When the subject is blocked for an extended period or outside the line of sight.

b) When the subject is more than 50 m away from the aircraft.

c) When the subject is similar in color or pattern with the surroundings.

d) When the subject is in the air.

e) When the subject is moving fast.

f) When the lighting is extremely low (<300 lux) or high (>10,000 lux).

DO NOT use QuickShots in places that are close to buildings or where the GPS signal is weak.

Otherwise, the flight path will be unstable.

Make sure to follow local privacy laws and regulations when using QuickShots.



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 DJI Mini 2 SE propellers, which are designed to spin in different directions. Marks are used to indicate which propellers should be attached to which motors. The two blades attached to one motor are the same.

Flight Limits and GEO Zones

GEO (Geospatial Environment Online) System

DJI's Geospatial Environment Online (GEO) System is a global information system that provides real-time information on flight safety and restriction updates and prevents UAVs from flying in restrict airspace.

Under exceptional circumstances, restricted areas can be unlocked to allow flights 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 flight safety and must consult with the local authorities on the relevant legal and regulatory requirements before requesting to unlock a flight in a restricted area. For more information about the

GEO system, visit http://www.dji.com/flysafe.

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 flight limits on height and distance.

Altitude limits, distance limits, and GEO zones function concurrently to manage flight safety when GPS is available. Only altitude can be limited when GPS is unavailable.

Flight Altitude and Distance Limits

The flight altitude and distance limits can be changed in DJI Fly. Based on these settings, the aircraft will fly in a restricted cylinder as shown below:

Blinks red and green alternately

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 flight 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 five seconds every twelve seconds.

If the aircraft reaches an altitude or radius limit, you can still control the aircraft, but you cannot fly it any further. If the aircraft flies out of the max radius, it will automatically fly back within range when the GPS signal is strong.

For safety reasons, do not fly 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 official website at http://www.dji.com/flysafe. GEO zones are divided into different categories and include locations such as airports, airfields where manned aircraft operate at low altitudes, national borders, and sensitive locations such as power plants. By default, the GEO system limits flights into or takeoffs 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 flying in the area.

Aircraft takeoff weight includes battery, propellers, and a microSD card.

Aircraft registration is required in some countries and regions. Check local rules and regulations before use.

The transmission distance in common scenarios listed above are the typical values tested in an FCC area without obstruction.

These specifications have been determined through tests conducted with the latest firmware. Firmware updates can enhance performance. It is highly recommended to update to the latest firmware.



Calibrating the Compass

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

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

2. The aircraft has not been flown 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 scaffolding.

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 flying 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 flying 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 takeoff.

The aircraft can take off immediately once calibration is complete. If you wait more than three minutes to take off after calibration, you may need to calibrate again.



Updating Firmware

When you connect the aircraft or remote controller to DJI Fly, you will be notified if a new firmware update is available. To update, connect the mobile device to the internet and follow the on-screen instructions.

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

Make sure to follow all the steps to update firmware. Otherwise, the update may fail. The aircraft will power off automatically after the firmware update is complete.

The firmware 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 flight distance, to default settings. Before updating, take note of your preferred DJI Fly settings and readjust them after the update.
