Aircraft DJI Mini SE contains a flight controller, video downlink system, vision system, propulsion system, and an Intelligent Flight Battery. Flight Modes DJI Mini SE has three flight modes: Position, Sport, and CineSmooth. Users can switch between modes in DJI Fly. Position Mode: Positon mode works best when the GPS signal is strong. The aircraft utilizes GPS and the Vision System to locate itself and stabilize. Intelligent Flight Mode is enabled in this mode.
DJI Mini SE User Manual Aircraft Status Indicator The aircraft status indicator is located at the rear of the aircraft. It communicates the status of the aircraft’s flight control system. Refer to the table below for more information about the aircraft status indicator.
DJI Mini SE User Manual Description GPS Home Point 10 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.
DJI Mini SE User Manual b. If the aircraft is less than 20 m from the Home Point when the RTH procedure begins, it lands immediately. 5. After reaching the Home Point, the aircraft lands and the motors stop.
DJI Mini SE User Manual Vision System and Infrared Sensing System DJI Mini SE is equipped with a Downward Vision System and Infrared Sensing System. The Downward Vision System consists of one camera and the Infrared Sensing System consists of two 3D infrared modules. The Downward Vision System and Infrared Sensing System help the aircraft maintain its current position, hover in place more precisely, and to fly indoors or in other environments where GPS is unavailable.
DJI Mini SE User Manual Follow the steps below to use the Downward Vision System 1. Make sure the aircraft is on a flat surface. Power on the aircraft. 2. The aircraft hovers in place after takeoff. The aircraft status indicator blinks green twice, which indicates the Downward Vision System is working. The max hover altitude of the aircraft is 5 m if there is no GPS. The Vision System works best when the aircraft is at an altitude from 0.5 to 10 m.
DJI Mini SE User Manual Helix: The aircraft ascends and spirals around the subject. Using QuickShots 1. Make sure that the Intelligent Flight Battery is sufficiently charged. Take off and hover at least 6.6 ft (2 m) above the ground. 2m 2. In DJI Fly, tap to select QuickShots and follow the prompts. Make sure that the user understands how to use the shooting mode and that there are no obstacles in the surrounding area. 3.
DJI Mini SE User Manual Use QuickShots at locations that are clear of buildings and other obstacles. Make sure that there are no humans, animals, or other obstacles in the flight path. Pay attention to objects around the aircraft and use the remote controller to avoid accidents 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.
DJI Mini SE User Manual Detaching the Propellers Use the screwdriver to detach the propellers from the motors. Propeller blades are sharp. Handle with care. The screwdriver is only used to mount the propellers. DO NOT use the screwdriver to disassemble the aircraft. If a propeller is broken, remove the two propellers and screws on the corresponding motor and discard them. Use two propellers from the same package. DO NOT mix with propellers from other packages. Only use official DJI propellers.
DJI Mini SE User Manual 8. Battery Cell Damage Protection: DJI Fly displays a warning prompt when a damaged battery cell is detected. 9. Hibernation Mode: if the battery cell voltage is lower than 3.0 V or the battery level is less than 10%, the battery enters Hibernation mode to prevent over-discharge. Charge the battery to wake it from hibernation. 10. Communication: information about the voltage, capacity, and current of the battery is transmitted to the aircraft.
DJI Mini SE User Manual 63% ＜ battery level ≤ 75% 50% ＜ battery level ≤ 63% 38% ＜ battery level ≤ 50% 25% ＜ battery level ≤ 38% 13% ＜ battery level ≤ 25% 0% ＜ battery level ≤ 13% Powering On/Off Press the power button once, then press again, and hold for two seconds to turn the battery on or off. The battery level LEDs display the battery level when the aircraft is powered on. Press the power button once and the four battery level LEDs will blink for three seconds.
DJI Mini SE User Manual The battery cannot be charged if the aircraft is powered on and the aircraft cannot be powered on during charging. DO NOT charge an Intelligent Flight Battery immediately after flight as the temperature may be too high. Wait until it cools down to room temperature before charging again. The charger stops charging the battery if the battery cell temperature is not within the operating range of 41° to 104° F (5° to 40° C). The ideal charging temperature is 71.6° to 82.
DJI Mini SE User Manual LED4 blinks twice per second Charging temperature is too low LED4 blinks three times per second Charging temperature is too high If the charging temperature protection is enabled, the battery will resume charging once the temperature has returned to within the allowable range.
DJI Mini SE User Manual 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.
Remote Controller This section describes the features of the remote controller and includes instructions for controlling the aircraft and the camera. © 2021 DJI All Rights Reserved.
Remote Controller Remote Controller Profile Built into the remote controll is DJI's enhanced Wi-Fi technology, offering 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz* transmission frequencies, a maximum transmission distance of 2.49 mi (4 km), and 720p video downlink from the aircraft to DJI Fly on your mobile device. The detachable control sticks make the remote controller easier to store. Refer to the remote controller diagram in the Product Profile section for more information.
DJI Mini SE User Manual Controlling the Aircraft Three pre-programmed modes (Mode 1, Mode 2, and Mode 3) are available and custom modes can be defined in the DJI Fly app. The default mode is Mode 2.
DJI Mini SE User Manual The figure below explains how to use each control stick, using Mode 2 as an example. Remote Controller (Mode 2) ( Aircraft Remarks Indicates Nose Direction) Moving the left stick up or down changes the aircraft’s altitude. Push the stick up to ascend and down to descend. The more the stick is pushed away from the center position, the faster the aircraft will change altitude. Push the stick gently to prevent sudden and unexpected changes in altitude.
DJI Mini SE User Manual Optimal Transmission Zone The signal between the aircraft and the remote controller is most reliable when the antennas are positioned in relation to the aircraft as depicted below. strong weak Linking the Remote Controller The remote controller is linked to the aircraft before delivery. Linking is only required when using a new remote controller for the first time. Follow these steps to link a new remote controller: 1. Power on the remote controller and the aircraft. 2.
