Be on the lookout for an article that dives deeper into the Vision Systems of the newer Mavics. The Mavic Pro and Mavic Pro Platinum have identical Vision Systems, but I should note that sensors have been added to the sides, rear, and top of the Mavic 2 Pro and Mavic 2 Zoom.

Monocular sensors are cameras that feed images to the drones processor, which is then able to identify the depth of objects. Ultrasonic sensors emit high-frequency sound waves that bounce off surfaces back to the drone to provide distances of objects. The Vision System on the Mavic Pro is comprised of two ultrasonic sensors (located on the bottom) and four monocular sensors (two on the front and two on the bottom).

Why is this? The incorporation of GPS and a Vision Positioning System (VPS) to keep the aircraft extremely steady are certainly two of the reasons. The remote control helicopters I would fly as a teenager were incredibly difficult to maneuver compared to any of DJI’s drone lineup. Check out our drone comparison tool What is the Vision SystemĭJI has worked very hard to make their drones user-friendly. See below for more detailed instructions. Follow the onscreen instructions and restart your drone when the calibration is complete. Connect your Mavic to the computer and click on “calibration”. First, download/launch DJI Assistant and set your computer screen to 1600×900.

Here are the quick steps on how to calibrate the Mavic Pro Vision System to eradicate errors. All is not bad though, it’s still Saturday, and I’m going to tell you how to get rid of those vision system errors on your Mavic Pro. When Saturday finally does come around and our location is in the green, we get VPS errors *sigh*. But this world isn’s perfect, and we have annoying things like jobs that dictate when we can fly, and the FAA to say where we can fly. In a perfect world, we would be able to fly our drones whenever and wherever we felt like it never getting any errors or malfunctions.
