Hello there Davidross. Good day and thank you for reaching out. Just a reminder that the said DJI drone's vision system may not work properly due to the lighting condition of the environment. Thank you and fly safe always.

I found out the Mini 2 would have to fall under the Category One of the FAA .
Than you can fly at Night .

You're not supposed to fly your drone at night. That said, there's a deal of video footage on the forum and YT showing night flights. Some are excellent viewing.

You're not supposed to fly your drone at night ? I don't know about where you live but the USA you can fly at Night if you follow the Guidelines of Category One of the FAA Rules.

Bit hot and cold.  Good because m2p/z can fly as it’s got the right lights. Bad because the mini2 doesn’t have the right lights.

That is why you can Attach Lights on mini 2, you might be over the 0.55 weight rule but there is ways around that. Also you have to know other regulations of the category 1-2-3 not sure which , to able to fly at Night as well. There is many factors i guess.

Yeah. Adding the four lights is a real pain and wrecks our over flight rules.

Hello, Dji mavic air 2 too?

Hi there Nick.G. Thank you for the reply and for this inquiry. The Vision System cannot work properly over surfaces that do not have clear pattern variations. The Vision System of the DJI Mavic Air 2 cannot work properly in any of the following situations.
