Notes On Mavic Air 2 Obstacle Sensing

If you have a drone with obstacle detection and collision avoidance, it is really important to understand how it works and the conditions where it won’t work.

All drones will have similar modes or circumstances where the obstacle detection and collision avoidance won’t work and it is always good to read the user manual thoroughly to understand how the obstacle detection works and when it doesn’t work.

• The downward obstacle sensing system cannot work properly over surfaces which are shiny, transparent, reflective or do not have clear pattern variations.
•  If the light is fading or in darkness, then the vision sensors won’t work.
• If the Mavic Air 2 is flying too fast, the drone will not have enough time to brake and stop.
• Too Small of obstacles such as leaves or electrical wires are too small to be detected.
• Moving Objects  such as people or surfaces.
• Over surfaces with reflect or absorb  infrared waves.

Return To Home Safety Feature

The Return to Home (RTH) function will bring the Mavic Air 2 back to the last recorded home point when the GPS signal is strong.

The are 3 types of Return to Home;

Smart RTH: This is initiated by the Pilot either by tapping ‘H’ in the DJI Fly app or by pressing down on the RTH button on the Remote Controller until you hear a beep.

Low Battery RTH: The return to home is triggered when the battery is depleted to a point, which may affect the safe return of the Mavic Air 2.

The Low Battery RTH can be cancelled by the pilot

Failsafe RTH: If the Home point was successfully recorded, the Failsafe RTH will be automatically activated if the signal from the remote controller is lost for more than 11 seconds.

Note: When you receive your new quadcopter, it is very important to read the Mavic Air 2 User Manual, especially the sections on the intelligent flight battery,  return to home features and safety instructions.  Read these sections a few times.

Mavic Air 2 Manual

Here is the link to the Mavic Air 2 user manual. You will also find the Mavic Air quick start guide there.

Mavic Air 2 Spotlight Intelligent Flight Mode

Spotlight 2.0 intelligent flight mode allows the Mavic Air 2 camera to keep you or your subject in the center of the frame while you fly. You just select your subject and fly. It is so easy to set up and it is a terrific aerial filming mode.

Mavic 2 Points Of Interest (POI 3.0)

Point of Interest 3.0 uses advanced positioning technology to create an automated flight path and a fixed point, which the Mavic Air 2 will circle around, keeping the subject in the center of the frame.

POI 3.0 can track objects like people, cars, and boats, giving you terrific options for creative aerial filming.

All you need to do is select a static object as the Point of Interest.  Then, set the circle radius, flight altitude and speed. The Mavic Air 2 quadcopter will then fly around the subject using these settings.

Mavic Air 2 Hyperlapse (8K)

Mavic Air 2 supports Hyperlapse in 8k. Hyperlapse allows you to warp time and space for exceptional footage, without requiring post-processing. It is very easy to set up.

Choose from the following Hyperlapse modes, then select the shooting location and the DJI Fly app will do the rest.

Free

The Mavic Air 2 will automatically take photos and generate a time lapse video. Set the interval time, video duration and the maximum speed. The DJI Fly app will display the number of photos, which will be taken and how long the shooting time will be.

Circle & Course Lock

With Course Lock, there are 2 ways to use it.  The 1st way, the orientation of the Mavic Air 2 is fixed without being able to select a subject. In the 2nd way, the drone is fixed and it flies around the select object.

Waypoint modes:

The Mavic Air 2 automatically takes photos on a flight path from 2 up to 5 waypoints. It then generates a time lapse video.
