DJI inspire 2 & X5S Flight Automations Reference Guide
For all automations to work…
– the battery must be > 50%
– must be in P mode
– ensure the aircraft is flying at least 6 feet above the ground.
Tap Fly
Tap on the mobile device screen to fly in the designated direction without using the remote controller. The aircraft will automatically avoid obstacles it sees or brake and hover provided that the lighting is appropriate = appropriate lighting = (< 300 lux) nor too bright (> 10,000 lux).
– Take off and ensure the aircraft is flying at least 6 feet (2 meters) above the ground.
– Tap controller icon on Left side of GUI and then Tapfly (hashed CIRCLE with dot in center)
– Tap once on the target direction and wait for icon to appear.
– Tap again to confirm the selection and the aircraft will automatically fly towards the target direction.
– Note that you can still use the control stick to control the movement of the aircraft during the fight.
– The selectable range for the target direction is limited. You cannot make a TapFly selection close to the upper or lower edge of the screen.
– TapFly Mode may not work properly when the aircraft is flying over water or snow covered areas.
When in Tapfly…
1. when the aircraft is heading in a particular direction, cancel the automation by pressing the right controller abort button.
2. The controller sticks control the flight of the aircraft, not the gimbal
3. The only gimbal based control (with a single controller) is pan up /down, YAW is fixed 🙁
Active Track
aircraft DOES NOT avoid obstacles while in Profile or Spotlight using active track, use in open areas
aircraft WILL AVOID obstacles in TRACE MODE ONLY as the front camera is facing frontward
ActiveTrack allows you to mark and track a moving object on your mobile device screen. The aircraft will automatically avoid obstacles in its fight path. The Inspire 2 can automatically identify and trace bikes and other vehicles, people and animals, and use different tracking strategies for each.
– Take off and ensure the aircraft is flying at least 6 feet (2 meters) above the ground.
– Tap controller icon on Left side of GUI and then tap (hashed SQUARE with dot in center)
– Tap on the subject you want to track then tap to confirm selection.
– If the subject is not automatically recognized, drag a box around it. The box will turn green when tracking is in progress. If the box turns red, the object could not be identified and you should try again.
Active Track includes the following functions
– Trace – The aircraft tracks the subject at a constant distance. Use the roll stick on the remote controller or the slider in DJI GO 4 app to circle the subject.
– Profile – The aircraft tracks the subject at a constant distance. Use the roll stick on the remote controller or the slider in DJI GO 4 app to circle the subject.
Tripod Mode
In Tripod Mode, the maximum flight speed can be adjusted in DJI GO 4 app and the braking distance is reduced to 10 ft (3 m). Responsiveness to stick movements is also reduced for smoother more controlled movements.
Only use Tripod Mode where the GPS signal is strong or light conditions are ideal for the vision system. If GPS signal is lost and the vision system cannot function, it will automatically switch to Atti mode. In this case, flight speed will increase and the aircraft cannot hover in place. Use Tripod Mode carefully.
Spotlight Pro
aircraft auto spin is enabled by default in FREE MODE
Spotlight Pro can be used in S, A, Tapfly and Tripod mode.
only gimbal moves with automation, not aircraft like active track
Lock onto a subject in Spotlight Pro mode, and the gimbal camera can capture the locked subject regardless of the direction that the aircraft flies. Therefore, the gimbal always points toward the tracked subject regardless of where the aircraft is.
– Quick Mode: Use your finger to draw a square with the object in to begin tracking.
– Catch / Composition Mode: Use your finger to draw a square. When the subject enters the square, press C2 button to begin tracking. Press C2 button again to stop tracking.
When aircraft is in..
Free Mode – you can control the aircraft’s heading independently of the camera
Follow Mode – the aircraft heading will be the same as that of the camera.
