DJI Mini 2 User Manual 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 automatically land if the battery level is extremely low.
DJI Mini 2 User Manual If the aircraft is at an altitude of 65 ft (20 m) or higher and has not yet reached the RTH altitude, the throttle stick can be moved to stop the aircraft from ascending and the aircraft will fly to the Home Point at its current altitude (only available with firmware v1.0.0.0. This function is not available when the firmware is updated to v1.1.0.0 or later).
DJI Mini 2 User Manual Using the Vision Systems When GPS is unavailable, the Downward Vision System is enabled if the surface has a clear texture and there is sufficient light.
