Product Profile

Introduction

The DJI Mavic 2 Pro/Zoom features omnidirectional Vision Systems and Infrared Sensing Systems.

Effortlessly capture complex shots using signature DJI technologies such as Obstacle Sensing and

Intelligent Flight Modes like Hyperlapse, Point of Interest, ActiveTrack

2.0, TapFly, QuickShots, and

Advanced Pilot Assistance Systems (APAS).

The Mavic 2 Pro features a fully stabilized 3-axis gimbal with a 1" CMOS sensor camera (jointly

developed by DJI and Hasselblad) that shoots 4K video, 20-megapixel photos, and supports filters.

The Mavic 2 Zoom features a fully stabilized 3-axis gimbal camera that shoots 4K video, 12-megapixel

photos, supports 2x optical zoom, 24-48 mm lens, and supports filters.

The Mavic 2 Pro/Zoom uses the latest technology to increase stability and footage quality, reducing the

Mavic 2 Zoom angle vibration range to within ±0.005° and Mavic 2 Pro angle vibration range to within

±0.01°.

Built into the remote controller is DJI’s long-range transmission technology OCUSYNC

2.0, offering a

maximum transmission range of 5 mi (8 km) and displaying video from the aircraft to DJI GO 4 on your

mobile device at up to 1080p. The remote controller works at both 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz, and it can

select the best transmission channel automatically without any latency. The aircraft and camera can

easily be controlled using the onboard buttons. An onboard LCD screen gives real-time aircraft data

information, and the detachable control sticks make the remote controller easier to store. The maximum

run time is 2 hours and 15 minutes. The Mavic 2 Pro/Zoom boasts a maximum flight speed of 44.7 mph

(72 kph) and a maximum flight time of 31 minutes.

The major difference between the Mavic 2 Pro and Mavic 2 Zoom is the camera. The general

descriptions in this manual apply to both Mavic 2 Pro/Zoom.

Maximum flight time was tested in an environment with no wind while flying at a consistent 15.5

mph (25 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 about 400 ft (120 m). The maximum

runtime was tested in a laboratory environment. This value is for reference only.

5.8 GHz is not supported in some regions. Please observe the local laws and regulations.

Preparing the Mavic 2 Pro/Zoom

Preparing the Aircraft

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

unfold the aircraft.

1. Remove the gimbal cover from the camera.

Aircraft

This section introduces the flight

controller, Intelligent Flight Battery, and

the Forward, Backward and Downward

Vision Systems.

Aircraft

The Mavic 2 Pro/Zoom contains a flight controller, vision systems, video downlink system, propulsion

system, and an Intelligent Flight Battery. Refer to the aircraft diagram in the Product Profile section.

Flight Modes

The Mavic 2 Pro/Zoom has three flight modes, plus a fourth flight mode that the aircraft switches to in

certain circumstances:

P-mode (Positioning): P-mode works best when the GPS signal is strong. The aircraft utilizes GPS and

the Vision Systems to locate itself, stabilize, and navigate between obstacles. Intelligent Flight Modes

are enabled in this mode.

When the Forward and Backward Vision Systems are enabled and lighting conditions are sufficient, the

maximum flight altitude angle is 25°, the maximum forward flight speed is 31 mph (50 kph), and the

maximum backward flight speed is 27 mph (43 kph).

Note: P-mode requires larger stick movements to achieve high speeds.

The aircraft automatically changes to Attitude (ATTI) mode when the Vision Systems are unavailable or

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

Systems are unavailable, the aircraft cannot position itself or brake automatically, which increases

the risk of potential flight hazards. 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.

S-mode (Sport): In S-mode, the Vision Systems are disabled and the aircraft only uses GPS for

positioning. The maximum flight speed is 44.7 mph (72kph). Intelligent Flight Modes are not available

and the aircraft cannot sense or avoid obstacles.

Note: In S-mode, aircraft responses are optimized for agility and speed making it more responsive to

stick movements.

T-mode (Tripod): T-mode is based on P-mode and the flight speed is limited, which makes the aircraft

more stable during shooting. The maximum flight speed, maximum ascend speed and maximum

descend speed are 1 m/s. Intelligent Flight Modes are not available in T-mode.

The Forward, Backward, Lateral Vision Systems and the Upward Infrared Sensing System are

disabled in S-mode, which means the aircraft cannot sense obstacles on its route automatically.

The aircraft’s maximum speed and braking distance significantly increase in S-mode. A minimum

braking distance of 98.4 ft (30 m) is required in windless conditions.

Descent speed significantly increases in S-mode.

The aircraft’s responsiveness significantly increases in S-mode, which means a small stick

movement on the remote controller translates into the aircraft moving a large distance. Be

vigilant and maintain adequate maneuvering space during flight.

Use the Flight Mode switch on the remote controller to switch between Flight Modes. Enable

Multiple Flight Modes in DJI GO 4 to switch between Flight Modes.

Mavic 2 Pro/Zoom User Manual

The Front LEDs show the orientation of the aircraft and glow solid red when the aircraft is turned on to

indicate the front of the aircraft (they can be turned off in the DJI GO 4).

The Aircraft Status Indicators communicate the status of the aircraft’s flight control system. Refer to the

table below for more information about the Aircraft Status Indicators. The Aircraft Status Indicators also

flash when the Home Point is being recorded, as described in the Return to Home section.

Smart RTH

If the GPS signal is sufficiently strong, Smart RTH can be used to bring the aircraft back to the Home

Point. Smart RTH is initiated either by tapping in the DJI GO 4 or by pressing and holding the RTH

button on the remote controller.

Exit Smart RTH by tapping in the DJI GO 4 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 affected. Return home or land the aircraft immediately when prompted. DJI

GO 4 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 ten-second countdown. The user can cancel RTH by pressing the RTH

button or Flight Pause button on the remote controller.

If RTH 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

thresholds for the battery level warnings are automatically determined based on the aircraft’s current

altitude and distance from the Home Point.

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.

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

scenarios in detail.

GPS

RTH and Battery Level Warnings (when using firmware v00.06.00.00)

The colored zones and markers on the DJI GO 4 battery level indicator bar reflect the estimated

remaining flight time. They automatically adjust according to the aircraft’s current location and status.

If the current battery level can only support the aircraft long enough to descend from its current

altitude, a critically low battery level warning triggers and the aircraft descends and lands

automatically. This cannot be canceled. If there is a danger of a collision, push the throttle up

and try to navigate away.

If the battery level is sufficient, the battery level indicator bar in DJI GO 4 displays the estimated

remaining flight time based on the current battery level.

Failsafe RTH

The Forward Vision System allows the aircraft to create a real-time map of its flight route as it flies.

If the Home Point was successfully recorded and the compass is functioning normally, Failsafe RTH

automatically activates after the remote control signal is lost for more than two seconds.

When Failsafe RTH is activated, the aircraft starts to retrace its original flight route home. If the remote

control signal is re-established within 60 seconds of Failsafe RTH being activated, the aircraft hovers at

its present location for 10 seconds and waits for pilot commands. The user may tap in the DJI GO 4

or press the RTH button on the remote controller to cancel Failsafe RTH and retake control. If no pilot

command is given, the aircraft flies to the Home Point in a straight line. If the remote control signal is still

lost 60 seconds after activating Failsafe RTH, the aircraft stops retracing its original flight route and flies

to Home Point in a straight line.

RTH Procedure

Smart RTH, Low Battery RTH, and Failsafe RTH all follow the RTH procedure:

1. The aircraft adjusts its orientation.

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

ascends to the pre-set RTH altitude and then flies to the Home Point at a speed of 12 m/s. If the

current altitude is higher than the RTH altitude, the aircraft flies to the Home Point at the current

altitude. Forward and Backward vision systems are enabled.

b. If the aircraft is between 5 m and 20 m from the Home Point when the RTH procedure begins:

i. If the RTH at Current Altitude option is enabled the aircraft flies to the Home Point at the current

altitude, unless the current altitude is less than 2 m, in which case the aircraft ascends to 2 m

and then flies to the Home Point at a speed of 3 m/s.

controller, Intelligent Flight Battery, and 
the Forward, Backward and Downward 
Vision Systems.

Aircraft
The Mavic 2 Pro/Zoom contains a flight controller, vision systems, video downlink system, propulsion 
system, and an Intelligent Flight Battery. Refer to the aircraft diagram in the Product Profile section.
Flight Modes
The Mavic 2 Pro/Zoom has three flight modes, plus a fourth flight mode that the aircraft switches to in 
certain circumstances:
P-mode (Positioning): P-mode works best when the GPS signal is strong. The aircraft utilizes GPS and 
the  Vision  Systems  to  locate  itself,  stabilize,  and  navigate  between  obstacles.  Intelligent  Flight  Modes  
are enabled in this mode.
When the Forward and Backward Vision Systems are enabled and lighting conditions are sufficient, the 
maximum flight altitude angle is 25°, the maximum forward flight speed is 31 mph (50 kph), and the 
maximum backward flight speed is 27 mph (43 kph).
Note: P-mode requires larger stick movements to achieve high speeds. 
The aircraft automatically changes to Attitude (ATTI) mode when the Vision Systems are unavailable or 
disabled and when the GPS signal is weak or the compass experiences interference. When the Vision 
Systems  are  unavailable,  the  aircraft  cannot  position  itself  or  brake  automatically,  which  increases  
the  risk  of  potential  flight  hazards.  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.
S-mode  (Sport):  In  S-mode,  the  Vision  Systems  are  disabled  and  the  aircraft  only  uses  GPS  for  
positioning. The maximum flight speed is 44.7 mph (72kph). Intelligent Flight Modes are not available 
and the aircraft cannot sense or avoid obstacles.
Note: In S-mode, aircraft responses are optimized for agility and speed making it more responsive to 
stick movements.
T-mode (Tripod): T-mode is based on P-mode and the flight speed is limited, which makes the aircraft 
more  stable  during  shooting.  The  maximum  flight  speed,  maximum  ascend  speed  and  maximum  
descend speed are 1 m/s. Intelligent Flight Modes are not available in T-mode. 
 The Forward, Backward, Lateral Vision Systems and the Upward Infrared Sensing System are 
disabled in S-mode, which means the aircraft cannot sense obstacles on its route automatically.
 The aircraft’s maximum speed and braking distance significantly increase in S-mode. A minimum 
braking distance of 98.4 ft (30 m) is required in windless conditions.
 Descent speed significantly increases in S-mode.
 The aircraft’s responsiveness significantly increases in S-mode, which means a small stick 
movement on the remote controller translates into the aircraft moving a large distance. Be 
vigilant and maintain adequate maneuvering space during flight.
 Use the Flight Mode switch on the remote controller to switch between Flight Modes. Enable 
Multiple Flight Modes in DJI GO 4 to switch between Flight Modes.

Smart RTH
If the GPS signal is sufficiently strong, Smart RTH can be used to bring the aircraft back to the Home 
Point. Smart RTH is initiated either by tapping  in the DJI GO 4 or by pressing and holding the RTH 
button on the remote controller.
Exit Smart RTH by tapping  in the DJI GO 4 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 affected. Return home or land the aircraft immediately when prompted. DJI 
GO 4 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 ten-second countdown. The user can cancel RTH by pressing the RTH 
button or Flight Pause button on the remote controller.
If  RTH  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 
thresholds for the battery level warnings are automatically determined based on the aircraft’s current 
altitude and distance from the Home Point. 
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. 
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 
scenarios in detail.
GPS
Description
Home Point
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  (    ).  The  Aircraft  Status  Indicator  will  blink  
green quickly when the Home Point is recorded.

Failsafe RTH
The  Forward  Vision  System  allows  the  aircraft  to  create  a  real-time  map  of  its  flight  route  as  it  flies.  
If  the  Home  Point  was  successfully  recorded  and  the  compass  is  functioning  normally,  Failsafe  RTH  
automatically activates after the remote control signal is lost for more than two seconds.
When Failsafe RTH is activated, the aircraft starts to retrace its original flight route home. If the remote 
control signal is re-established within 60 seconds of Failsafe RTH being activated, the aircraft hovers at 
its present location for 10 seconds and waits for pilot commands. The user may tap  in the DJI GO 4 
or press the RTH button on the remote controller to cancel Failsafe RTH and retake control. If no pilot 
command is given, the aircraft flies to the Home Point in a straight line. If the remote control signal is still 
lost 60 seconds after activating Failsafe RTH, the aircraft stops retracing its original flight route and flies 
to Home Point in a straight line.
RTH Procedure
Smart RTH, Low Battery RTH, and Failsafe RTH all follow the RTH procedure:
1. The aircraft adjusts its orientation.
2.  a. If the aircraft is further than 20 m from the Home Point when the RTH procedure begins, it 
ascends to the pre-set RTH altitude and then flies to the Home Point at a speed of 12 m/s. If the 
current altitude is higher than the RTH altitude, the aircraft flies to the Home Point at the current 
altitude. Forward and Backward vision systems are enabled. 
b. If the aircraft is between 5 m and 20 m from the Home Point when the RTH procedure begins: 
i.   If the RTH at Current Altitude option is enabled the aircraft flies to the Home Point at the current 
altitude, unless the current altitude is less than 2 m, in which case the aircraft ascends to 2 m 
and then flies to the Home Point at a speed of 3 m/s.
ii. If the RTH at Current Altitude option is disabled, the aircraft lands immediately.
c.  If  the  aircraft  is  less  than  5  m  from  the  Home  Point  when  the  RTH  procedure  begins,  it  lands  
immediately.
3. After reaching the Home Point, the aircraft lands and the motors stop.
Obstacle Avoidance during RTH
Provided that lighting conditions are sufficient for the Forward and Backward Vision Systems to operate, 
the  Mavic  2  Pro/Zoom  senses  and  actively  attempts  to  avoid  obstacles  during  RTH.  The  obstacle  
avoidance procedure is as follows:
1. The aircraft decelerates when an obstacle is sensed.
2. The aircraft stops and hovers and then ascends until no obstacle is sensed.
3.   The RTH procedure resumes. The aircraft flies to the Home Point at the new altitude.

Mavic 2 Pro/Zoom User Manual

19
 The aircraft cannot return to the Home Point if the GPS signal is weak or unavailable.
 In Smart RTH and Low Battery RTH, the aircraft automatically ascends to an altitude of 65 ft 
(20 m). Once the altitude is 65 ft (20 m) or higher, move the throttle stick and the aircraft stops 
ascending and flies to the Home Point at its current altitude.
 The aircraft cannot avoid obstacles during Failsafe RTH if the Forward and Backward Vision 
Systems are unavailable. It is important to set a suitable RTH Altitude before each flight. Launch 
DJI GO 4, tap  and then set the RTH Altitude.
 During RTH, the aircraft’s speed and altitude can be controlled using the remote controller or 
DJI GO 4, but the flight controller controls its orientation and direction of flight.
 During RTH, obstacles on either side of the aircraft cannot be detected or avoided.
Landing Protection
Landing Protection activates during Smart RTH and the aircraft performs as follows:
1. When Landing Protection determines that the ground is suitable for landing, the aircraft lands gently.
2. If Landing Protection determines that the ground is not suitable for landing, the aircraft hovers and 
waits for the pilot to confirm it is suitable to land.
3.   If Landing Protection is not operational, DJI GO 4 displays a landing prompt when the aircraft 
descends below 0.5 m. Pull down on the throttle for one second or use the auto landing slider in the 
app to land. 
Landing  Protection  activates  during  Low  Battery  RTH  and  Failsafe  RTH.  The  aircraft  performs  as  
follows:
During Low Battery RTH and Failsafe RTH, the aircraft hovers at 2 m above the ground and waits for 
the pilot to confirm it is suitable to land. Pull down on the throttle for one second or use the auto landing 
slider in the app to land. Landing Protection activates and the aircraft performs the steps listed above.
Vision Systems are disabled during landing. Be sure to land the aircraft with caution.

Vision Systems and Infrared Sensing Systems
The  Mavic  2  Pro/Zoom  is  equipped  with  Forward,  Backward,  Downward,  and  Lateral  Vision  Systems,  
and  Upward  and  Downward  Infrared  Sensing  Systems,  providing  omnidirectional  obstacle  sensing  (if  
lighting conditions are adequate).
The  main  components  of  the  Forward,  Backward,  and  Downward  Vision  Systems  are  six  cameras  
located on the nose, rear side, and the underside of the aircraft. Lateral Vision Systems are two cameras 
located on either side of the aircraft. 
The  main  components  of  the  Upward  and  Downward  Infrared  Sensing  Systems  are  two  3D  infrared  
modules located on the upper and underside of the aircraft.
The  Downward  Vision  System  and  Infrared  Sensing  System  helps  the  aircraft  maintain  its  current  
position and hover in place more precisely and to fly indoors or in other environments where a GPS 
signal  is  unavailable.  In  addition,  the  Auxiliary  Bottom  Light  located  on  the  underside  of  the  aircraft  
improves visibility for the Downward Vision System in weak light conditions.
Detection Range
The detection range of the Vision Systems is depicted as followed. Please note that the aircraft cannot

Calibrating Vision System Cameras
The Vision System cameras installed on the aircraft are factory calibrated. If the aircraft experiences 
a collision, however, it may require calibration via DJI Assistant 2 for Mavic or DJI GO 
4.
The most accurate way to calibrate the Vision System cameras is by using DJI Assistant 2 for 
Mavic. Follow the steps below to calibrate the Forward Vision System cameras, then repeat 
the steps to calibrate other Vision System cameras.
When a vision system calibration is required, DJI GO 4 sends a notification. If a computer is not nearby, 
however, a quick calibration can be performed in the app. Tap the Aircraft Status bar and Vision Sensors 
to start quick calibration.
Using the Vision Systems
The  Downward  Vision  System  and  Infrared  Sensing  System  activate  automatically  when  the  aircraft  
is turned on. No further action is required. When using the Downward Vision System, the aircraft can 
hover precisely even without GPS.
01
Point the aircraft toward the screen 
02
Align the boxes
03
Pan and tilt the aircraft
 Quick calibration is only a quick fix for vision system issues. When possible, connect the aircraft 
to a computer to carry out a full calibration using DJI Assistant 2 for Mavic. 
 Only calibrate on textured surfaces such as grass or when lighting conditions are adequate.
 Do not calibrate the aircraft on highly reflective surfaces such as marble or ceramic tiles.
The  Downward  Vision  System  is  typically  used  in  indoor  environments  where  GPS  is  unavailable.  The  
Downward Vision System works best when the aircraft is at altitudes of 1.6 to 33 ft (0.5 to 11 m). Please 
note that the Vision Positioning function may be affected if the aircraft’s altitude is above 33ft (11 m).

 Lateral Vision Systems are only available in ActiveTrack 2.0 and Tripod Mode. Lateral Vision 
Systems have limited ability to sense and avoid obstacles, and the performance may be affected 
by the surrounding environment. Be sure to maintain line of sight with the aircraft and pay 
attention to prompts in DJI GO 4. DJI takes no responsibility for any aircraft that is damaged or 
lost while using Lateral Vision Systems.
 The Vision System cannot work properly over surfaces that DO NOT have clear pattern 
variations. The Vision System is only effective when the aircraft is at an altitude of 0.5 to 50 
meters. Please note that the Vision Positioning function may be affected if the aircraft’s altitude 
is above 33 ft (11 m).
 The Auxiliary Bottom Light is automatically enabled when the environment light is too weak. 
Please note that the Vision System cameras performance may be affected when the auxiliary 
bottom light is enabled. Fly with caution if the GPS signal is weak.  
 The Vision System may NOT function properly when the aircraft is flying over water or snow-
covered areas.
 Note that the Vision System may NOT function properly when the aircraft is flying too fast. Fly with 
caution when flying at over 10 m/s (32.8 ft/s) at 2 m (6.6 ft) or over 5 m/s (16.4 ft) at 1 m (3.3 ft).
 Operate the aircraft cautiously when in any of the following situations:
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.
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).
Follow the steps below to use the Downward Vision System:
1. Ensure the aircraft is in P-mode and place the aircraft on a flat surface. Please 
note  that  the  Downward  Vision  System  cannot  work  properly  on  surfaces  
without clear pattern variations.
2. Turn on the aircraft. The aircraft hovers in place after takeoff. The Aircraft Status Indicators flash green 
twice, which indicates the Downward Vision System is working.
Using  the  Forward  and  Backward  Vision  Systems,  the  aircraft  can  actively  brake  when  detecting  
obstacles  in  front.  The  Forward  and  Backward  Vision  Systems  work  best  with  adequate  lighting  and  
clearly marked or textured obstacles. To allow for sufficient time to break, the aircraft should not fly more 
than 31 mph (50 kph) when flying forward or more than 27 mph (42 kph) when flying backward.
The  Lateral  Vision  Systems  requires  better  lighting  and  more  textured  or  clearly  marked  obstacles,  
and cannot sense dynamic objects, such as moving people, vehicles, tree branches, or blinking lights. 
Lateral Vision Systems are only available in ActiveTrack 2.0 and Tripod Mode. The angular speed is 
limited to 24° /s and the lateral flight speed is limited to 18 mph (29 mph).

 Keep the sensors clean at all times. DO NOT tamper with the sensors
.
 Do not obstruct the Infrared 
Sensing System.
 The Vision System may not be able to recognize patterns on the ground in low light conditions 
(less than 100 lux).
 If the aircraft speed exceeds 31 mph (50 kph), the Vision System does not have enough time to 
brake and stop the aircraft at a safe distance from an obstacle.
 If the aircraft experiences a collision, camera calibration is required. Calibrate the front cameras 
if DJI GO 4 prompts you to do so.
 Do not fly on days that are rainy, smoggy, or if there is no clear sight.
 Check the following every time before takeoff:
a. Ensure there are no stickers or any other obstructions over the glass of the Infrared Sensing 
and Vision System.
b. If there is any dirt, dust, or water on the glass of the Infrared Sensing and Vision System, 
clean it 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 and Vision 
System.
 The Upward Infrared Sensing System only detects straight line distances directly above the 
sensor and not the entire aircraft. Additionally, large obstacles such as roofs can be detected, 
but tiny obstacles such as leaves or electrical wires cannot. Fly with caution and do not rely 
solely on the Upward Infrared Sensing System to detect obstacles above the aircraft.
 Do not obstruct the Downward Vision System and Downward Infrared Sensing System before 
takeoff. Otherwise, the aircraft cannot take off again after landing and will have to be restarted.

For optimal performance, it is recommended to use Hyperlapse at an altitude higher than 50 m and 
to set a difference of at least two seconds between the interval time and shutter..
 
It is recommended to select a static subject (e.g., high-rise buildings, mountainous terrain) at a safe 
distance from the aircraft (further than 15 m). Do not select a subject that is too near the aircraft.
 
The aircraft brakes and hovers in place if an obstacle is detected during Hyperlapse.
 
The aircraft only generates a video if it has taken at least 25 photos, which is the amount required 
to generate a one second video. The video generates when a command is given from the remote 
controller or if the mode is exited unexpectedly (such as when the low battery RTH is triggered).
Task Library (Coming Soon)
Use Task Library to easily record flight paths, which can be repeated later.
QuickShots
QuickShots  shooting  modes  include  Dronie,  Circle,  Helix,  Rocket,  Boomerang,  Asteroid,  and  Dolly  
Zoom  (only  available  with  Mavic  2  Zoom).  The  Mavic  2  Pro/Zoom  records  a  video  according  to  the  
selected shooting mode and then automatically generates a 10-second video. The video can then be 
viewed, edited, or shared to social media from Playback.
Dronie: The aircraft flies backward and ascends, with the camera locked on the subject.
Circle: The aircraft circles around the subject.
Helix: The aircraft ascends and spirals around the subject.
Rocket: The aircraft ascends with the camera pointing downward.
Boomerang: The aircraft flies around the subject in an oval path, ascending as it flies away from 
its starting point and descending as it flies back. The aircraft’s starting point forms one end of the 
oval’s long axis, while the other end of its long axis is at the opposite side of the subject from the 
starting point.
Ensure there is sufficient space when using Boomerang: Allow a radius of at least 99 ft (30 m) 
around the aircraft and allow at least 33 ft (10 m) above the aircraft. 
Asteroid: The aircraft flies backward and upward, takes several photos, and then flies back to the 
starting point. The video generated starts with a panorama of the highest position and then shows 
the descent. Ensure there is sufficient space when using Asteroid. Allow at least 132 ft (40 m) 
behind and 164 ft (50 m) above the aircraft.
Dolly Zoom: The Mavic 2 Zoom flies backward and upward. It adjusts the zoom during flight to 
keep the selected subject the same while the background changes. 
When planning to use Dolly Zoom, first select the distance between the aircraft and subject. Be 
sure that there is at least three times that distance available on the rear side of the aircraft so that 
there is sufficient space to fly.

2. If no action is taken, the aircraft 
tries to avoid the obstacle.
The aircraft tracks the subject 
at a constant angle and 
distance from the front and 
side. Use the roll stick on 
the remote control to fly in 
a circle around the subject. 
The framing of the subject is 
adjusted using the left stick 
and gimbal dial. 
In this sub-mode, the aircraft 
brakes and hovers in place 
once an obstacle is detected.
The aircraft does not track 
a subject automatically, but 
keeps the camera pointed in 
the direction of the subject 
during flight. The remote 
controller is used to maneuver 
the aircraft, but control of 
orientation is disabled. The 
framing of the subject is 
adjusted using the left stick 
and gimbal dial. The aircraft 
brakes immediately when an 
obstacle is detected in this 
sub-mode.
 
DO NOT use ActiveTrack 2.0 in areas with people, animals, small or fine objects (e.g., tree 
branches or power lines), or transparent objects (e.g., water or glass).
 
Operate the aircraft manually (press the Flight Pause button or toggle the Flight Mode switch to 
S-mode on the remote controller) or tap  in DJI GO 4 in an emergency.
 
Be extra vigilant when using ActiveTrack 2.0 in any of the following situations:

Gimbal and Camera
Gimbal
The Mavic 2 Pro/Zoom 3-axis gimbal provides stabilization for the camera, allowing you to capture clear 
and stable images and video. The gimbal has a tilt range of -90 ̊ to +30 ̊. Gimbal settings such as Gimbal 
Mode and Gimbal Auto Calibration can be selected by tapping  .
Use the gimbal dial on the remote controller to control the camera’s tilt. Alternatively, enter Camera View 
in DJI GO 4. Press the screen until a blue circle appears and drag the circle up and down to control 
camera tilt. Dragging the circle left and right controls the aircraft’s orientation.
Camera
The Mavic 2 Pro uses a 1" CMOS sensor camera (jointly developed by DJI and Hasselblad), which 
features a lens with an adjustable aperture with a range of F2.8-F11. The camera supports auto focus, 
which can focus at 1 m to infinity. The filters on the camera can also be replaced. The Mavic 2 Pro 
camera shoots up to 4K30fps video and 20 MP photos, supports shooting modes such as Single shot, 
Burst shooting, Interval, Panorama, Slow motion, and Enhanced HDR. 
The Mavic 2 Zoom uses a 1/2.3" CMOS sensor camera, supports 2x optical zoom, and the lens is 
24-48 mm (35 mm format equivalent). The camera supports auto focus, which can focus at 0.5 m to 
infinity. The camera also supports replacing filters. The Mavic 2 Zoom camera shoots up to 4K30fps 
video and 12-megapixel photos, supports shooting modes such as Single shot, Burst shooting, Interval, 
Panorama,  Slow  motion  and  Enhanced  HDR.  Mavic  2  Zoom  supports  2x  optical  zoom  and  2x  digital  
zoom when recording video in 1080p24/25/30.
 When the aircraft is powered on, do not tap or knock the gimbal. To protect the gimbal during 
takeoff, always take off from open and flat ground.
 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’s motion is obstructed.
b. The gimbal experiences excessive external force, such as during a collision.
 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 dries.
Gimbal Operation Modes
Two  gimbal  operation  modes  are  available.  Switch  between  the  different  operation  modes  on  the  
camera settings page of DJI GO 4.
Follow  Mode: The angle between the gimbal’s orientation and aircraft’s nose remains constant at all

Remote Controller
Built into the remote controller is DJI’s long-range transmission technology OcuSync 2.0, offering a 
maximum transmission range of 5 mi (8 km) and displaying video from the aircraft to DJI GO 4 on your 
mobile device at up to 1080p. Easily control the aircraft and camera using the onboard buttons. An 
onboard  LCD  screen  gives  real-time  aircraft  data  information  and  the  detachable  control  sticks  make  
the remote controller easier to store. 
In a wide-open area with no electromagnetic interference, OcuSync 2.0 smoothly transmits video links 
at up to 1080p, no matter how the flight attitude is changed. The remote controller works at both 2.4 
GHz and 5.8 GHz, automatically selecting the best transmission channel. OcuSync 2.0 reduces the 
latency to 120-130 ms by improving the camera performance through the video decoding algorithm and 
the wireless link. 
Auto  Focus  is  supported  during  shooting  even  in  low  light  conditions.  The  Mavic  2  Pro  supports  
aperture  and  shutter  adjustment  and  the  Mavic  2  Zoom  supports  zoom  in/out  by  using  the  Zoom  
Adjustment Dial.
The built-in battery has a capacity of 3950 mAh and a maximum run time of 2 hours and 15 minutes. 
The remote controller charges the mobile device with a charging ability of 500 mA@5V. The remote 
controller automatically charges Android devices. For iOS devices, first be sure that charging is enabled 
in DJI GO 4. Charging for iOS devices is disabled by default and needs to be enabled each time the 
remote controller is powered on.

Dual Remote Controller Mode (Coming soon)
The Mavic 2 Pro/Zoom supports Dual Remote Controller Mode, which allows two remote controllers to 
connect to the same aircraft.
Both  the  Primary  remote  controller  and  the  Secondary  remote  controller  can  control  the  orientation  of  
the aircraft and the movement of the gimbal and camera operation.
Please note the different operations of the Primary and Secondary remote controller listed below.
1. Gimbal Dial
Both  the  Primary  remote  controller  and  the  Secondary  remote  controller  can  control  the  gimbal  
dial,  but  the  Primary  remote  controller  has  priority.  For  example,  the  Secondary  remote  controller  is  
unable  to  control  the  gimbal  dial  when  the  Primary  remote  controller  is  using  the  gimbal  dial.  After  
the  Primary  remote  controller  has  stopped  controlling  the  gimbal  dial  for  two  seconds  or  more,  the  
Secondary remote controller can control the gimbal dial. 
2. Control Stick
Both  the  Primary  remote  controller  and  the  Secondary  remote  controller  can  control  the  orientation  
of the aircraft using control sticks. The Primary remote controller has priority. The Secondary remote 
controller is unable to control the aircraft’s orientation when the Primary remote controller is operating 
the  control  sticks.  After  the  control  sticks  are  idle  for  two  seconds  or  more,  the  Secondary  remote  
controller can control the aircraft’s orientation. 
If the control sticks on the Primary remote controller are pushed down and inward, the motors of the 
aircraft stop. If the same action is performed on the Secondary remote controller, however, the aircraft 
does not respond.
The control sticks on the Primary remote controller need to be released so that the Secondary remote 
controller can control the aircraft.
3. Flight Mode Switch
The flight mode can only be switched on the Primary remote controller. The Flight Mode Switch is 
disabled on the Secondary remote controller.
4. DJI GO 4 Settings
The display and parameter settings for the Primary and Secondary remote controllers in DJI GO 4 
are the same. The Secondary remote controller can only configure the flight controller, vision system, 
video transmission, and Intelligent Flight Battery. Display and parameter settings for the Primary and 
Secondary remote controllers are the same in DJI GO 4.

Flight
Once pre-flight preparation is complete, it is recommended to use the flight simulator in DJI GO 4 to 
hone your flight skills and practice flying safely. Ensure that all flights are carried out in an open area. 
Refer to the Remote Controller and DJI GO 4 sections for information about using the remote controller 
and the app to control the aircraft.
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.   Fly in open areas. Tall structures and large metal structures may affect the accuracy of the onboard 
compass and GPS system.
3. Avoid obstacles, crowds, high voltage power lines, trees, and bodies of 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. Be very careful when flying 19685 ft (6000 m) or more above sea level, since battery 
and aircraft performance may be reduced.
6.   The Mavic 2 cannot use GPS within the polar regions. Use the Downward Vision System when flying 
in such locations.
Flight Limits and GEO Zones
Abide by all laws and regulations when flying your Mavic 2 Pro/Zoom. Flight limitations are applied by 
default  to  help  users  operate  this  product  safely  and  legally.  Flight  limitations  include  altitude  limits,  
distance limits, and GEO Zones.
Altitude limits, distance limits, and GEO Zones function concurrently to manage flight safety when 
operating in P-mode.
Flight Altitude and Distance Limits
The flight altitude and distance limits may be changed in DJI GO 4. The maximum flight altitude setting 
cannot exceed 1640 ft (500 m). Based on these settings, the aircraft will fly in a restricted cylinder, as 
shown below:

Calibrating the Compass
It is recommended that the compass is calibrated in any of the following situations when flying outdoors:
1.   Flying at a location farther than 31 miles (50 km) away from the location the drone was last flown. 
2.   The aircraft has not been flown for more than 30 days.
3.   A compass interference warning appears in DJI GO 4 and/or the Aircraft Status Indicators blink 
alternating red and yellow.
 
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 (such as cell phones) that contain ferromagnetic materials 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 the System Status Bar in DJI GO 4, select “Calibrate”, and follow the on-screen instructions.

Product Profile
Introduction
The DJI Mavic 2 Pro/Zoom features omnidirectional Vision Systems and Infrared Sensing Systems. 
Effortlessly capture complex shots using signature DJI technologies such as Obstacle Sensing and 
Intelligent  Flight  Modes  like  Hyperlapse,  Point  of  Interest,  ActiveTrack
TM
 2.0, TapFly, QuickShots, and 
Advanced Pilot Assistance Systems (APAS).
The Mavic 2 Pro features a fully stabilized 3-axis gimbal with a 1" CMOS sensor camera (jointly 
developed by DJI and Hasselblad) that shoots 4K video, 20-megapixel photos, and supports filters. 
The Mavic 2 Zoom features a fully stabilized 3-axis gimbal camera that shoots 4K video, 12-megapixel 
photos, supports 2x optical zoom, 24-48 mm lens, and supports filters. 
The Mavic 2 Pro/Zoom uses the latest technology to increase stability and footage quality, reducing the 
Mavic 2 Zoom angle vibration range to within ±0.005° and Mavic 2 Pro angle vibration range to within 
±0.01°. 
Built into the remote controller is DJI’s long-range transmission technology OCUSYNC
TM
 2.0, offering a 
maximum transmission range of 5 mi (8 km) and displaying video from the aircraft to DJI GO 4 on your 
mobile device at up to 1080p. The remote controller works at both 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz, and it can 
select  the  best  transmission  channel  automatically  without  any  latency.  The  aircraft  and  camera  can  
easily  be  controlled  using  the  onboard  buttons.  An  onboard  LCD  screen  gives  real-time  aircraft  data  
information, and the detachable control sticks make the remote controller easier to store. The maximum 
run time is 2 hours and 15 minutes. The Mavic 2 Pro/Zoom boasts a maximum flight speed of 44.7 mph 
(72 kph) and a maximum flight time of 31 minutes.
 The major difference between the Mavic 2 Pro and Mavic 2 Zoom is the camera. The general 
descriptions in this manual apply to both Mavic 2 Pro/Zoom.
 Maximum flight time was tested in an environment with no wind while flying at a consistent 15.5 
mph (25 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 about 400 ft (120 m). The maximum 
runtime was tested in a laboratory environment. This value is for reference only.
 5.8 GHz is not supported in some regions. Please observe the local laws and regulations.

the Forward, Backward and Downward 
Vision Systems.

Aircraft
The Mavic 2 Pro/Zoom contains a flight controller, vision systems, video downlink system, propulsion 
system, and an Intelligent Flight Battery. Refer to the aircraft diagram in the Product Profile section.
Flight Modes
The Mavic 2 Pro/Zoom has three flight modes, plus a fourth flight mode that the aircraft switches to in 
certain circumstances:
P-mode (Positioning): P-mode works best when the GPS signal is strong. The aircraft utilizes GPS and 
the  Vision  Systems  to  locate  itself,  stabilize,  and  navigate  between  obstacles.  Intelligent  Flight  Modes  
are enabled in this mode.
When the Forward and Backward Vision Systems are enabled and lighting conditions are sufficient, the 
maximum flight altitude angle is 25°, the maximum forward flight speed is 31 mph (50 kph), and the 
maximum backward flight speed is 27 mph (43 kph).
Note: P-mode requires larger stick movements to achieve high speeds. 
The aircraft automatically changes to Attitude (ATTI) mode when the Vision Systems are unavailable or 
disabled and when the GPS signal is weak or the compass experiences interference. When the Vision 
Systems  are  unavailable,  the  aircraft  cannot  position  itself  or  brake  automatically,  which  increases  
the  risk  of  potential  flight  hazards.  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.
S-mode  (Sport):  In  S-mode,  the  Vision  Systems  are  disabled  and  the  aircraft  only  uses  GPS  for  
positioning. The maximum flight speed is 44.7 mph (72kph). Intelligent Flight Modes are not available 
and the aircraft cannot sense or avoid obstacles.
Note: In S-mode, aircraft responses are optimized for agility and speed making it more responsive to 
stick movements.
T-mode (Tripod): T-mode is based on P-mode and the flight speed is limited, which makes the aircraft 
more  stable  during  shooting.  The  maximum  flight  speed,  maximum  ascend  speed  and  maximum  
descend speed are 1 m/s. Intelligent Flight Modes are not available in T-mode. 
 The Forward, Backward, Lateral Vision Systems and the Upward Infrared Sensing System are 
disabled in S-mode, which means the aircraft cannot sense obstacles on its route automatically.
 The aircraft’s maximum speed and braking distance significantly increase in S-mode. A minimum 
braking distance of 98.4 ft (30 m) is required in windless conditions.
 Descent speed significantly increases in S-mode.
 The aircraft’s responsiveness significantly increases in S-mode, which means a small stick 
movement on the remote controller translates into the aircraft moving a large distance. Be 
vigilant and maintain adequate maneuvering space during flight.
 Use the Flight Mode switch on the remote controller to switch between Flight Modes. Enable 
Multiple Flight Modes in DJI GO 4 to switch between Flight Modes.

Smart RTH
If the GPS signal is sufficiently strong, Smart RTH can be used to bring the aircraft back to the Home 
Point. Smart RTH is initiated either by tapping  in the DJI GO 4 or by pressing and holding the RTH 
button on the remote controller.
Exit Smart RTH by tapping  in the DJI GO 4 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 affected. Return home or land the aircraft immediately when prompted. DJI 
GO 4 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 ten-second countdown. The user can cancel RTH by pressing the RTH 
button or Flight Pause button on the remote controller.
If  RTH  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 
thresholds for the battery level warnings are automatically determined based on the aircraft’s current 
altitude and distance from the Home Point. 
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. 
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 
scenarios in detail.
GPS
Description
Home Point
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  (    ).  The  Aircraft  Status  Indicator  will  blink  
green quickly when the Home Point is recorded.

Failsafe RTH
The  Forward  Vision  System  allows  the  aircraft  to  create  a  real-time  map  of  its  flight  route  as  it  flies.  
If  the  Home  Point  was  successfully  recorded  and  the  compass  is  functioning  normally,  Failsafe  RTH  
automatically activates after the remote control signal is lost for more than two seconds.
When Failsafe RTH is activated, the aircraft starts to retrace its original flight route home. If the remote 
control signal is re-established within 60 seconds of Failsafe RTH being activated, the aircraft hovers at 
its present location for 10 seconds and waits for pilot commands. The user may tap  in the DJI GO 4 
or press the RTH button on the remote controller to cancel Failsafe RTH and retake control. If no pilot 
command is given, the aircraft flies to the Home Point in a straight line. If the remote control signal is still 
lost 60 seconds after activating Failsafe RTH, the aircraft stops retracing its original flight route and flies 
to Home Point in a straight line.
RTH Procedure
Smart RTH, Low Battery RTH, and Failsafe RTH all follow the RTH procedure:
1. The aircraft adjusts its orientation.
2.  a. If the aircraft is further than 20 m from the Home Point when the RTH procedure begins, it 
ascends to the pre-set RTH altitude and then flies to the Home Point at a speed of 12 m/s. If the 
current altitude is higher than the RTH altitude, the aircraft flies to the Home Point at the current 
altitude. Forward and Backward vision systems are enabled. 
b. If the aircraft is between 5 m and 20 m from the Home Point when the RTH procedure begins: 
i.   If the RTH at Current Altitude option is enabled the aircraft flies to the Home Point at the current 
altitude, unless the current altitude is less than 2 m, in which case the aircraft ascends to 2 m 
and then flies to the Home Point at a speed of 3 m/s.
ii. If the RTH at Current Altitude option is disabled, the aircraft lands immediately.
c.  If  the  aircraft  is  less  than  5  m  from  the  Home  Point  when  the  RTH  procedure  begins,  it  lands  
immediately.
3. After reaching the Home Point, the aircraft lands and the motors stop.
Obstacle Avoidance during RTH
Provided that lighting conditions are sufficient for the Forward and Backward Vision Systems to operate, 
the  Mavic  2  Pro/Zoom  senses  and  actively  attempts  to  avoid  obstacles  during  RTH.  The  obstacle  
avoidance procedure is as follows:
1. The aircraft decelerates when an obstacle is sensed.
2. The aircraft stops and hovers and then ascends until no obstacle is sensed.
3.   The RTH procedure resumes. The aircraft flies to the Home Point at the new altitude.

 The aircraft cannot return to the Home Point if the GPS signal is weak or unavailable.
 In Smart RTH and Low Battery RTH, the aircraft automatically ascends to an altitude of 65 ft 
(20 m). Once the altitude is 65 ft (20 m) or higher, move the throttle stick and the aircraft stops 
ascending and flies to the Home Point at its current altitude.
 The aircraft cannot avoid obstacles during Failsafe RTH if the Forward and Backward Vision 
Systems are unavailable. It is important to set a suitable RTH Altitude before each flight. Launch 
DJI GO 4, tap  and then set the RTH Altitude.
 During RTH, the aircraft’s speed and altitude can be controlled using the remote controller or 
DJI GO 4, but the flight controller controls its orientation and direction of flight.
 During RTH, obstacles on either side of the aircraft cannot be detected or avoided.
Landing Protection
Landing Protection activates during Smart RTH and the aircraft performs as follows:
1. When Landing Protection determines that the ground is suitable for landing, the aircraft lands gently.
2. If Landing Protection determines that the ground is not suitable for landing, the aircraft hovers and 
waits for the pilot to confirm it is suitable to land.
3.   If Landing Protection is not operational, DJI GO 4 displays a landing prompt when the aircraft 
descends below 0.5 m. Pull down on the throttle for one second or use the auto landing slider in the 
app to land. 
Landing  Protection  activates  during  Low  Battery  RTH  and  Failsafe  RTH.  The  aircraft  performs  as  
follows:
During Low Battery RTH and Failsafe RTH, the aircraft hovers at 2 m above the ground and waits for 
the pilot to confirm it is suitable to land. Pull down on the throttle for one second or use the auto landing 
slider in the app to land. Landing Protection activates and the aircraft performs the steps listed above.
Vision Systems are disabled during landing. Be sure to land the aircraft with caution.

Vision Systems and Infrared Sensing Systems
The  Mavic  2  Pro/Zoom  is  equipped  with  Forward,  Backward,  Downward,  and  Lateral  Vision  Systems,  
and  Upward  and  Downward  Infrared  Sensing  Systems,  providing  omnidirectional  obstacle  sensing  (if  
lighting conditions are adequate).
The  main  components  of  the  Forward,  Backward,  and  Downward  Vision  Systems  are  six  cameras  
located on the nose, rear side, and the underside of the aircraft. Lateral Vision Systems are two cameras 
located on either side of the aircraft. 
The  main  components  of  the  Upward  and  Downward  Infrared  Sensing  Systems  are  two  3D  infrared  
modules located on the upper and underside of the aircraft.
The  Downward  Vision  System  and  Infrared  Sensing  System  helps  the  aircraft  maintain  its  current  
position and hover in place more precisely and to fly indoors or in other environments where a GPS 
signal  is  unavailable.  In  addition,  the  Auxiliary  Bottom  Light  located  on  the  underside  of  the  aircraft  
improves visibility for the Downward Vision System in weak light conditions.
Detection Range
The detection range of the Vision Systems is depicted as followed. Please note that the aircraft cannot 
sense or avoid the obstacles that are not within detection range.

Calibrating Vision System Cameras
The Vision System cameras installed on the aircraft are factory calibrated. If the aircraft experiences 
a collision, however, it may require calibration via DJI Assistant 2 for Mavic or DJI GO 
4.
The most accurate way to calibrate the Vision System cameras is by using DJI Assistant 2 for 
Mavic. Follow the steps below to calibrate the Forward Vision System cameras, then repeat 
the steps to calibrate other Vision System cameras.
When a vision system calibration is required, DJI GO 4 sends a notification. If a computer is not nearby, 
however, a quick calibration can be performed in the app. Tap the Aircraft Status bar and Vision Sensors 
to start quick calibration.
Using the Vision Systems
The  Downward  Vision  System  and  Infrared  Sensing  System  activate  automatically  when  the  aircraft  
is turned on. No further action is required. When using the Downward Vision System, the aircraft can 
hover precisely even without GPS.

Point the aircraft toward the screen 
02
Align the boxes
03
Pan and tilt the aircraft
 Quick calibration is only a quick fix for vision system issues. When possible, connect the aircraft 
to a computer to carry out a full calibration using DJI Assistant 2 for Mavic. 
 Only calibrate on textured surfaces such as grass or when lighting conditions are adequate.
 Do not calibrate the aircraft on highly reflective surfaces such as marble or ceramic tiles.
The  Downward  Vision  System  is  typically  used  in  indoor  environments  where  GPS  is  unavailable.  The  
Downward Vision System works best when the aircraft is at altitudes of 1.6 to 33 ft (0.5 to 11 m). Please 
note that the Vision Positioning function may be affected if the aircraft’s altitude is above 33ft (11 m).

 Lateral Vision Systems have limited ability to sense and avoid obstacles, and the performance 
may be affected by the surrounding environment. Be sure to maintain line of sight with the 
aircraft and pay attention to prompts in DJI GO 4. DJI takes no responsibility for any aircraft that 
is damaged or lost while using Lateral Vision Systems.
 The Vision System cannot work properly over surfaces that DO NOT have clear pattern 
variations. The Vision System is only effective when the aircraft is at an altitude of 0.5 to 50 
meters. Please note that the Vision Positioning function may be affected if the aircraft’s altitude 
is above 33 ft (11 m).
 The Auxiliary Bottom Light is automatically enabled when the environment light is too weak and 
the flight altitude is lower than 5 m. Please note that the Vision System cameras performance 
may be affected when the auxiliary bottom light is enabled. Fly with caution if the GPS signal is 
weak.  
 The Vision System may NOT function properly when the aircraft is flying over water or snow-
covered areas.
 Note that the Vision System may NOT function properly when the aircraft is flying too fast. Fly with 
caution when flying at over 10 m/s (32.8 ft/s) at 2 m (6.6 ft) or over 5 m/s (16.4 ft) at 1 m (3.3 ft).
 Operate the aircraft cautiously when in any of the following situations:
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.
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).
Follow the steps below to use the Downward Vision System:
1. Ensure the aircraft is in P-mode and place the aircraft on a flat surface. Please 
note  that  the  Downward  Vision  System  cannot  work  properly  on  surfaces  
without clear pattern variations.
2. Turn on the aircraft. The aircraft hovers in place after takeoff. The Aircraft Status Indicators flash green 
twice, which indicates the Downward Vision System is working.
Using  the  Forward  and  Backward  Vision  Systems,  the  aircraft  can  actively  brake  when  detecting  
obstacles  in  front.  The  Forward  and  Backward  Vision  Systems  work  best  with  adequate  lighting  and  
clearly marked or textured obstacles. To allow for sufficient time to break, the aircraft should not fly more 
than 31 mph (50 kph) when flying forward or more than 27 mph (42 kph) when flying backward.
The Lateral Vision Systems requires better lighting and more textured or clearly marked obstacles, and 
cannot sense dynamic objects, such as moving people, vehicles, tree branches, or blinking lights. The 
Lateral Vision Systems are only available in ActiveTrack 2.0 and Tripod Mode, as well as QuickShots 
sub-modes of Circle, Helix, and Boomerang (when using firmware v01.00.01.00 or above). The angular 
speed is limited to 24° /s and the lateral flight speed is limited to 18 mph (29 mph).

 Keep the sensors clean at all times. DO NOT tamper with the sensors
.
 Do not obstruct the Infrared 
Sensing System.
 The Vision System may not be able to recognize patterns on the ground in low light conditions 
(less than 100 lux).
 If the aircraft speed exceeds 31 mph (50 kph), the Vision System does not have enough time to 
brake and stop the aircraft at a safe distance from an obstacle.
 If the aircraft experiences a collision, camera calibration is required. Calibrate the front cameras 
if DJI GO 4 prompts you to do so.
 Do not fly on days that are rainy, smoggy, or if there is no clear sight.
 Check the following every time before takeoff:
a. Ensure there are no stickers or any other obstructions over the glass of the Infrared Sensing 
and Vision System.
b. If there is any dirt, dust, or water on the glass of the Infrared Sensing and Vision System, 
clean it 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 and Vision 
System.
 The Upward Infrared Sensing System only detects straight line distances directly above the 
sensor and not the entire aircraft. Additionally, large obstacles such as roofs can be detected, 
but tiny obstacles such as leaves or electrical wires cannot. Fly with caution and do not rely 
solely on the Upward Infrared Sensing System to detect obstacles above the aircraft.
 Do not obstruct the Downward Vision System and Downward Infrared Sensing System before 
takeoff. Otherwise, the aircraft cannot take off again after landing and will have to be restarted. 
Intelligent Flight Modes
The Mavic 2 Pro/Zoom supports Intelligent Flight Modes including Hyperlapse, QuickShots, ActiveTrack 
2.0, Point of Interest (POI 2.0), Waypoints (coming soon), TapFly, and Cinematic Mode. Select an 
Intelligent Flight Mode in DJI GO 4. Ensure the battery level is sufficient and the aircraft is working on 
P-mode when using the Intelligent Flight Modes.

For optimal performance, it is recommended to use Hyperlapse at an altitude higher than 50 m and 
to set a difference of at least two seconds between the interval time and shutter..
 
It is recommended to select a static subject (e.g., high-rise buildings, mountainous terrain) at a safe 
distance from the aircraft (further than 15 m). Do not select a subject that is too near the aircraft.
 
The aircraft brakes and hovers in place if an obstacle is detected during Hyperlapse.
 
The aircraft only generates a video if it has taken at least 25 photos, which is the amount required 
to generate a one second video. The video generates when a command is given from the remote 
controller or if the mode is exited unexpectedly (such as when the low battery RTH is triggered).
 
It is possible to make a selection and adjust the flight speed and duration for Hyperlapse (when 
using firmware v01.00.01.00 or above).
Task Library (Coming Soon)
Use Task Library to easily record flight paths, which can be repeated later.
QuickShots
QuickShots  shooting  modes  include  Dronie,  Circle,  Helix,  Rocket,  Boomerang,  Asteroid,  and  Dolly  
Zoom  (only  available  with  Mavic  2  Zoom).  The  Mavic  2  Pro/Zoom  records  a  video  according  to  the  
selected shooting mode and then automatically generates a 10-second video. The video can then be 
viewed, edited, or shared to social media from Playback.
Dronie: The aircraft flies backward and ascends, with the camera locked on the subject.
Circle: The aircraft circles around the subject.
Helix: The aircraft ascends and spirals around the subject.
Rocket: The aircraft ascends with the camera pointing downward.
Boomerang: The aircraft flies around the subject in an oval path, ascending as it flies away from 
its starting point and descending as it flies back. The aircraft’s starting point forms one end of the 
oval’s long axis, while the other end of its long axis is at the opposite side of the subject from the 
starting point.
Ensure there is sufficient space when using Boomerang: Allow a radius of at least 99 ft (30 m) 
around the aircraft and allow at least 33 ft (10 m) above the aircraft. 
Asteroid: The aircraft flies backward and upward, takes several photos, and then flies back to the 
starting point. The video generated starts with a panorama of the highest position and then shows 
the descent. Ensure there is sufficient space when using Asteroid. Allow at least 132 ft (40 m) 
behind and 164 ft (50 m) above the aircraft.
Dolly Zoom: The Mavic 2 Zoom flies backward and upward. It adjusts the zoom during flight to 
keep the selected subject the same while the background changes. 
When planning to use Dolly Zoom, first select the distance between the aircraft and subject. Be 
sure that there is at least three times that distance available on the rear side of the aircraft so that 
there is sufficient space to fly.
Using QuickShots
Ensure that the aircraft is in P-mode and that the Intelligent Flight Battery is sufficiently charged.

Please use QuickShots at locations that are clear of buildings and other obstacles. Make sure 
that there is no human, animals or other obstacles on the flight path. The aircraft brakes and 
hovers in place when an obstacle is detected. 
 
Always pay attention to objects around the aircraft and use the remote controller to avoid 
accidents (such as collisions) or occlusion with the aircraft.
 
Be extra cautious when using QuickShots in any of the following situations:
a. When the subject is blocked for a long time 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 patterns with the surrounding.
d. When the subject is in the air.
e. When the subject moves fast.
f. 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. 
 
You must follow local privacy laws and regulations when using QuickShots.

The aircraft tracks the subject at 
a constant distance. Use the roll 
stick and tilt stick on the remote 
controller to change the distance, 
and use the slider in DJI GO 4 to 
fly in a circle around the subject. 
The framing of the subject is 
adjusted using the left stick and 
gimbal dial. 
When detecting an obstacle in this 
sub-mode, the aircraft will behave 
as follows: 
1. If any action is performed on 
the remote controller after 
an obstacle is detected, the 
aircraft brakes and hovers in 
place. 
2. If no action is taken, the aircraft 
tries to avoid the obstacle.
The aircraft tracks the subject 
at a constant angle and 
distance from the front and 
side. Use the roll stick on 
the remote control to fly in 
a circle around the subject. 
The framing of the subject is 
adjusted using the left stick 
and gimbal dial. 
In this sub-mode, the aircraft 
brakes and hovers in place 
once an obstacle is detected.
The aircraft does not track 
a subject automatically, but 
keeps the camera pointed in 
the direction of the subject 
during flight. The remote 
controller is used to maneuver 
the aircraft, but control of 
orientation is disabled. The 
framing of the subject is 
adjusted using the left stick 
and gimbal dial. The aircraft 
brakes immediately when an 
obstacle is detected in this 
sub-mode.
 
DO NOT use ActiveTrack 2.0 in areas with people, animals, small or fine objects (e.g., tree 
branches or power lines), or transparent objects (e.g., water or glass).
 
Operate the aircraft manually (press the Flight Pause button or toggle the Flight Mode switch to 
S-mode on the remote controller) or tap  in DJI GO 4 in an emergency.
 
Be extra vigilant when using ActiveTrack 2.0 in any of the following situations:
a. The tracked subject is not moving on a level plane.
b. The tracked subject changes shape drastically while moving.
c. The tracked subject is out of sight for an extended period.
d. The tracked subject is moving on a snowy surface.
e. The tracked subject has a similar color or pattern to its surrounding environment.
f.    Available light is too low (< 300 lux) or too high (> 10,000 lux).
 
You must follow local privacy laws and regulations when using ActiveTrack 2.0.
 
It is recommended to only track people (but not recommended to track children), vehicles, and 
boats. Fly with caution when tracking other subjects.
 
The tracking subject may inadvertently swap to another subject if they pass nearby to each other.  
 
There are two options when selecting the tracking speed limit. Safe mode limits the speed to no 
more than 12 m/s and Max mode to no more than 20 m/s. Please note that the aircraft cannot 
avoid obstacles if the speed exceeds 12 m/s.

Remote Controller
Built into the remote controller is DJI’s long-range transmission technology OcuSync 2.0, offering a 
maximum transmission range of 5 mi (8 km) and displaying video from the aircraft to DJI GO 4 on your 
mobile device at up to 1080p. Easily control the aircraft and camera using the onboard buttons. An 
onboard  LCD  screen  gives  real-time  aircraft  data  information  and  the  detachable  control  sticks  make  
the remote controller easier to store. 
In a wide-open area with no electromagnetic interference, OcuSync 2.0 smoothly transmits video links 
at up to 1080p, no matter how the flight attitude is changed. The remote controller works at both 2.4 
GHz and 5.8 GHz, automatically selecting the best transmission channel. OcuSync 2.0 reduces the 
latency to 120-130 ms by improving the camera performance through the video decoding algorithm and 
the wireless link. 
Auto  Focus  is  supported  during  shooting  even  in  low  light  conditions.  The  Mavic  2  Pro  supports  
aperture  and  shutter  adjustment  and  the  Mavic  2  Zoom  supports  zoom  in/out  by  using  the  Zoom  
Adjustment Dial.

Both  the  Primary  remote  controller  and  the  Secondary  remote  controller  can  control  the  orientation  
of the aircraft using control sticks. The Primary remote controller has priority. The Secondary remote 
controller is unable to control the aircraft’s orientation when the Primary remote controller is operating 
the  control  sticks.  After  the  control  sticks  are  idle  for  two  seconds  or  more,  the  Secondary  remote  
controller can control the aircraft’s orientation. 
If the control sticks on the Primary remote controller are pushed down and inward, the motors of the 
aircraft stop. If the same action is performed on the Secondary remote controller, however, the aircraft 
does not respond.
The control sticks on the Primary remote controller need to be released so that the Secondary remote 
controller can control the aircraft.
3. Flight Mode Switch
The flight mode can only be switched on the Primary remote controller. The Flight Mode Switch is 
disabled on the Secondary remote controller.
4. DJI GO 4 Settings
The display and parameter settings for the Primary and Secondary remote controllers in DJI GO 4 
are the same. The Secondary remote controller can only configure the flight controller, vision system, 
video transmission, and Intelligent Flight Battery. Display and parameter settings for the Primary and 
Secondary remote controllers are the same in DJI GO 4.

Calibrating the Compass
It is recommended that the compass is calibrated in any of the following situations when flying outdoors:
1.   Flying at a location farther than 31 miles (50 km) away from the location the drone was last flown. 
2.   The aircraft has not been flown for more than 30 days.
3.   A compass interference warning appears in DJI GO 4 and/or the Aircraft Status Indicators blink 
alternating red and yellow.
 
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 (such as cell phones) that contain ferromagnetic materials 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 the System Status Bar in DJI GO 4, select “Calibrate”, and follow the on-screen instructions.
2.   Hold the aircraft horizontally and rotate it 360 degrees. The Aircraft Status Indicator will turn solid 
green.
3.   Hold the aircraft vertically, with its nose pointing downward, 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.

Horizontal Calibration
Vertical Calibration
 
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. It is possible that another 
compass interference warning will appear while the aircraft is on the ground. This indicates 
that the current location is not suitable for flying the aircraft, due to the level of magnetic 
interference.
Firmware Updates
Use DJI GO 4 or DJI Assistant 2 for Mavic to update the aircraft firmware.
Using DJI GO 
4
When you connect the aircraft or remote controller to DJI GO 4, you will be notified if a new firmware 
update  is  available.  To  start  updating,  connect  your  mobile  device  to  the  internet  and  follow  the  on-
screen instructions. Note that you cannot update the firmware if the remote controller is not linked to the 
aircraft.
Using DJI Assistant 
2 for Mavic
The USB-C port is used when connecting the aircraft to a computer to update firmware. 
Follow the instructions below to update the firmware through DJI Assistant 2 for Mavic:
1. With the aircraft powered off, connect the aircraft to a computer via the Micro USB port using a Micro 
USB cable.
2. Power on the aircraft.
3. Launch DJI Assistant 2 for Mavic and log in with your DJI account.
4. Select “Mavic 2” and click on Firmware Updates on the left panel.
5. Select the firmware version that you wish to update to.

 Ensure the aircraft is connected to the computer before powering on.
 The firmware update will take around 15 minutes. It is normal that the gimbal goes limp, 
aircraft status indicators blink, and the aircraft reboots. Please wait patiently until the update is 
complete.
 Ensure the computer has access to the Internet.
 Before performing an update ensure the Intelligent Flight Battery has at least 50% power and 
the remote controller has at least 30% power.
 Do not disconnect the aircraft from the computer during an update.
 For safety, always update the firmware to the latest version when an update notification is shown 
in DJI GO 4.
 Firmware update notifications will prompt you to proceed with an update immediately or to 
update the firmware within three days. If you choose to ignore the current firmware update, you 
are required to accept the prompted disclaimer. You further understand and agree that the data 
includes but is not limited to user selection records and may be uploaded to and maintained on 
a DJI designated server.
 The remote control device may become unlinked from the aircraft after updating. Re-link the 
remote control device and aircraft.
 Be sure to check all connections and remove the propellers from the motors before performing 
the firmware update. DO NOT disconnect the aircraft or remote controller from the computer or 
internet while updating the firmware.
