Flight Modes
Mavic Mini has three flight modes, plus a fourth flight mode that the aircraft switches to in certain
situations:
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. When the
Downward Vision System is enabled and lighting conditions are sufficient, the maximum flight altitude
angle is 20° and the maximum flight speed is 8 m/s.
The aircraft automatically changes to Attitude (ATTI) mode when the Vision System is unavailable or
disabled and when the GPS signal is weak or the compass experiences interference. When the Vision
System is 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.
Sport Mode: In Sport mode, the aircraft uses GPS and Vision System for positioning. In Sport mode,
aircraft responses are optimized for agility and speed making it more responsive to control stick
movements. The maximum flight speed is 13 m/s, maximum ascent speed is 4 m/s, and maximum
descent speed is 3 m/s.
CineSmooth Mode: CineSmooth mode is based on Position mode and the flight speed is limited,
making the aircraft more stable during shooting. The maximum flight speed is 4 m/s, maximum ascent speed
is 1.5 m/s, and maximum descent speed is 1 m/s.
The aircraft’s maximum speed and braking distance 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 aircraft’s responsiveness 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.
