So I installed the Master Airscrew Stealth propellers on my mini 2 and nearly every flight it says there is a payload detected and then limits my top speed and flying distance. Has anyone else experienced this problem?
Mini 2 payload detected problem
- Thread starter mini2flyer
- Start date
it goes into that mode ,because the IMU ,detects a different response from the ESC's because of the MAS props
I have switched back and forth a couple times now and it only happens with the MAS propellers so they seem to be the problem. Still not sure why
@mini2flyer its to do with the preprogramed responses that control the whole flight envelope
the ESC's control each ,pair of corresponding motors ( CCW or CW ) by constantly altering the speed of them ,and if the amount of thrust that each motor gives ,is different to what it expects ,then it thinks that something different has been added to the drone ,in your case the MAS props , so it then goes into the restricted flight envelope ,the payload mode ,these subtle speed changes are being constantly monitored while the drone is in flight ,and they are what give warnings ,such as high wind warnings, payload , etc, anything outside of the normal flight parameters will result in a warning being displayed

For the Mini 2 you are able to go into the settings and turn off Payload Mode.
Try going into the advanced safety settings and switching payload mode off.
Ahh beaten to it whilst experimenting !

I think each motor has its own ESC but I could be wrong.
@Yorkshire_Pud you are correct ,i was trying to illustrate the fact that the drones two prop directions are what keeps it in the air ,but when it comes to making a maneuver such as yawing ,then the CWW or CW pair of props work in unison to enable the drone to turn ,and that is true of any directional motion
Ok thanks everyone for the info. I will try turning off the payload mode and if the problem persists or there is (strong wind detected) in a calm environment, I will switch back to the DJI propellers.

That's strange.
I've used MAS Props on my Mini 2, as well as a set of Quick-Release Triple Blade Propellers, with their own Motor Caps, and, my Payload Mode never engaged from the aftermarket propellers. It only engaged when I added landing gear, prop guards, or heavier accessories.
The Triple Props added more weight than the MAS Props did, and, they slowed the Motors' RPMs, as well. If any Propellers were gonna cause it to engage, it seems like it would have been those, but nothing happened.
I think that maybe your Mini 2 has an overly sensitive Payload Mode.

Yes I have the same after I installed 4 pair of New orginal DJI MINI 2.SE propellers
I manually switch it of
But sometimes it showes up again
Can anybody help?

At a guess the detection system monitors the necessary rpm for a flight action and, if the rpm are higher than should be required by x%, issues the warning.. If correct reduced rpm would counter that.
I bought yellow MAS Stealth props for my Mini 2 six months ago to scare birds off. At first they were fine but just recently I have consistently been getting the drone going into Payload mode and restricting its height and range. It never did this with the OEM props and I think the MAS stealth props are warping after being clipped down with the DJI supplied storage clip. I have changed back to the DJI props and the problem has gone away.
Happened to me as well, I just stopped using the DJI supplied storage clip on my 2nd set of MAS. That clip will eventually ruin your OEM props as well.
Do you think it may be because I am clipping the props and putting the drone in its case while the motors and battery are still hot? BTW I noticed it wasn't as stable with the yellow props either.
Don’t know for sure but I think that’s what I read in a different forum. When it happened to my oem props I stopped using it that way and haven’t had a problem since.
