- Learn how to quickly calibrate visual sensors of the DJI Mavic Pro & Platinum Drone. The process can be extremely difficult see step-by-step
1:07 Download/install software, 2:45 Launch software,
3:00 Plug in Mavic Pro, 3:36 Initiate calibration, 4:00 Calibrate front sensors, 4:59 Calibrate bottom sensors
Watch every time you calibrate it and see step-by-step how to do it properly. Saving you time and heartache. This is required after repair, Small crashes/bumps and large crashes, or you get an error message to calibrate on your computer. Vision sensors.
Calibrate Drone:
1. After a repair
2. You get an error message to calibrate on your computer
3. Small crashes/bumps and large crashes
4. After you have not flown it for awhile
5. It has been bumped or transported roughly
6. Right after you receive it from the store
7. Or anytime you have not done it in a while or if you like to be cautious then methodical do it every 10 flights.
8. If Drone isn't showing up when plugged in with USB. Disable all firewalls and antivirus. Then plugged try plugging it back in. (comment and input made by @POP202)
This video works for all Dji and phantom drones: Phantom 1, Phantom 2, Phantom 3, Phantom 3 advanced, Phantom 3 pro Phantom 4 pro, Phantom 4 pro+, inspire, Mavic pro, Mavic Pro Platinum
WORKAROUND
A user @dmillerjr7 found a workaround here are the instructions:
DJI Assistant 2 keeps asking me to reboot drone when you try to calibrate the Visual Positioning System (VPS) on my PC
1. Disconnect all external monitor/s
2. Change display settings to 1280x720 resolution
3. Shift + Restart: Hold down the “Shift” button and Restart the computer at the same time.
a. Select the “Troubleshoot” tile on the Choose an option screen that appears.
b. Select “Advanced options”. - Click the “Startup Settings” tile.
c. Click the “Restart” button to restart your PC into the Startup Settings screen.
d. Select option “7” in the Startup Settings screen to activate the “Disable driver signature enforcement” option.
4. You are now ready to calibrate.
5. Make sure not to move drone around - keep the drone in the center of the screen and angle toward the boxes as you calibrate - it will have you calibrate the front sensors and then have you calibrate the bottom sensors
1. Other issues include plastic wrap still left on inspect the visual sensors/cameras
2. dirty camera/visual sensors
3. Calibrate in a well lit place. The sensors only work in the light.
4. If the drone has been crashed the sensors could be damaged
5. There could be a manufacturing issue.

After charging the battery going through the steps I had no issues at all I was really surprised because this was a used Mavic that had to be synced with the controller again thank you
Thank you very much for a very simple and precise explanation. The problem you'd been missing thanks a lot

Thank you , I appreciate this video
You did great with this, it helped a lot and I wouldn't have ever figured that out on my own! I used a Mac and it still worked great once I unlocked the download since it was a "weird file"
Thanks man... lots of idiots posting crap on mavic forum that doesn't fix the problem.. your detail directions saved me an evening of agony.. this fix my new drone! The slowness occurred after v3 firmware update..thanks again!
You are very welcome, I am glad it worked out for you. Can you do me a favor and Subscribe?

Geez man, this is one challenging procedure !! Waisted a whole battery trying to follow that thingy lol and could not pass lol. Tomorrow is another and better day.
I agree, I made the video because I wasted many hours trying to find a computer compatible with the DJI assistant software. Make sure to do it in a well lit room. What part are you stuck on?
I completed everythingI in 1 try 15 min ago on my Alienware 17 laptop. Last night while attempting numerous times lol was on my desktop 27 inch Samsung Monitor fail after fail, lol. Watched another vid and uploader did it on his laptop, and Bingo 1 try on my laptop. I did hold it exactly how the person was holding his Mavic. All is good now
I am glad you got it to work, it is such a difficult program.

Hi there! We use a DJI Mavic Pro and recently had the visual sensors calibration error randomly appear from nowhere. First time this has ever happened since owning the Mavic and we were completely baffled! Just want to say this was a massive help in getting it fixed, thank you so much for the video and I can safely say it's still helping others two years down the line!
Thanks man appreciate it

Geez Bro...thank you soo much! What an ordeal
Nice, video, a sub from me, excellent review, keep them coming! Thanks
DJI assistant worked fine on my Windows 10 machine but not on my Windows 7 machine. Process is not as complicated as he implies. In fact, I found it easy.
Good for you Robert...good for you bro.Happy flying
Thank you X 4 - I have struggled, sworn & nearly pulled out what hair I have left. First get a cord (micro usb to standard USB) long enough. There is one provided by DJI but it's 1 ft. - My tower was under my desk - so I had to revise locations of my screen and tower. So, Thank you again - This is a very frustrating experience.
Thank you for the subscribe. I am glad it all worked out!!!
Thank you for the video just replaced my Mavic after my other one hit a bridge the new one has the obstacle avoidance code for the front been trying to do it calibrating from the crystal sky but it say I need to do it from the computer waiting for battery to charge will see if this fixes it thank you so much I will be adding you to my channel playlist altitude
Hi, I found your video, I also have a pro mavic and I want to calibrate the sensors, I downloaded the application on my Macbook Pro and it doesn't work in any way, I turned on the application, I connected the drone to my laptop and it doesn't connect, I waited even 30 minutes… Is there a problem with the application? in 2021 does it still work for you now ??
I just used this software on windows 10 and it worked great.
Great!

Got this forward sensor calibration error when I replaced the gimbal flex cable.
Thanks a lot for this tutorial video.
No problem, I did the first flex cable repair video on youtube and that is where this video spawned from. Thank you for your comments. Can you do me a favor and Subscribe?

Qual programa ou aplicativo preciso ter no computador para poder fazer o downloads para calibar o gimbal do mavic pro platinum?
will this work for the Mavic air 2 for camera replacement?
After a crash my drone kept having false alarms for objects in its path. Running this recalibration seems to have fixed the problem. Thanks very much for showing how to do it.
You are very welcome, I am glad I was able to help you out. Yes, when these things crash many parts start acting up. Can you do me a favor and subscribe?

Does it take long to calculate after you did all the cameras to calibrate?? Mine is running a half an hour and stil on 0%
I was able to do FINALLY able to do the calibration on my new replacement from DJI! I run a MAC computer but for some reason, it would not work but got it to work on my new HP Laptop and said calibration has been completed. I think before I go fly it on the beaches where I LIVE I MIGHT want to test it at this large field by my house, just in case. What a nightmare at first when you don't know how to do it or before you review this video but I got it!! Many thanks for the tips mate.
Is it the same way for mavic 2 zoom?
hello i've a prob while caliberating my mavic pro that is everytime i click on caliberate now it says reboot your drone . can you help me to fix this
i have a problem, i replaced the gimbal flex but no im trying to claibrate it but nothing happened, and on the screen where shows left image, is dark, could you help me please.
My vision sensor shows its green ticks on both boxes but my left front is just showing a grey box. Do you know a fix for this?
Can't Calibrate after the 3 tutorials got this message: Please reboot the aircraft.. did it and still didn't work... any solution.?
After I crashed my Mavic and had to replace the gimbal the remote always shows me that theI have an issue with the sensors. I was able to fly but in the air the mavic recocnized obstacles which aren't there and stop during flight. the good flightmodes wasn't working anymore. I did the Calibration on the remote but that didn't fixed the issue. Now I did it on the cimputer and it worked just fine (Win 7) thanks a lot for the video :)
At 4:18 my drone only the bottom sensor are seen and the upper sensor is black. So what seems the problem,
This is f-up im on holiday now. Updated and set everything to work properly before leaving on my holiday but now when I want to get it out and fly it gives me bunch of error messages and csllibration failures. Im on holiday so i dont have excess to multiple pc, i only have 1 windows tablet with me and its not working.
Man that's totally fuxxored -- but at least you were able to find it. 😲
There is a lot of bad programing in these drones... I hope the company fixes these issues. Have a happy holidays and new year!
Thanks for the comment and sub =)

Did mine today on mavic zoom on windows 10
I have made it through all the steps 3 times and every time I get to the very end where it says calculation calibrations it never goes past Zero Percent! I have waited 20 minutes and killed the battery and it did this all 3 times! What am I doing wrong here?
Worked!
Neat.

I have tried this in my 2015 iMac, and it not work or my new HP laptop it will not work,,, you can fly but you have no sensors. What's up with the crazy update... See my drone was a replacement so i HAVE TO DO SOME FIRMWARE updating but its telling me the sensors need to be calibrated.
Maybe you can help. I can calibrate the front sensors but when I start the bottom sensor calibration, assistant freezes after the second or third box. Tried different displays and 2 computers. Can't get it to finish ever. Any ideas?
That sounds like a tough one. If it calibrates the front just like in the video, that is a good thing. Not calibrating the bottom ones could be caused by things like the plastic packing covers being left on over the sensors. Dirt or debris over the camera/sensors. not enough lighting for the calibration. The cord not having a a good connection. I would try all four of these maybe a different cord/look at the micro usb port (hold the good connections in place when you flip the aircraft). The cord coming disconnected could cause a software crash. More exotic problems would be a buggy software or hardware issues.

Sub and like done. I finally figured it out today. Will be making a vid soon going over what I've been going through and how it was resolved. Thanks for the reply.
Send me a link to the video I'll watch it see how you did it and like it back.
Here is my main channel instead of this "back up one". th-cam.com/users/LiquidLaboratoryStudio
i had to use my PC.. laptop kept freezing.. they should make assitant available on ipad... they actuall might.
Hi ! I have the same problem, the bottom sensor is not giving red line square, what to do ?
Thank you with all my heart ...🤍🤍🤍
Fiz o download e na hora de executar aparece que fui bloqueado pelo administrador. O que devo fazer?
last night i opened up my mavic and replaced the gimbal. Now im having a left visual sensor error. once i finally learned how to get the aircraft to connect on my windows 10 pc. i saw that the left sensor actually has no visual. is there a change that i disconnected something when replacing the gimabl? if soo do you know what wires or ribbons are responsible for the left sensor??
did you ever sort this out?
Will this fix the a00008 error message?
one of my sensor is black, the left one... :( any help?

Hey man quick question how long did it take for it to calibrate and calculate after the visual sensor calibration, mine seems to get stuck at 85% and was calibrating for aobut 30 minutes at least and still didnt reach a 100%
The Mavic took a few minutes. Check to see if plastic is on the sensors. The Mavic Pro is buggy I had to do it twice. It may not hurt to do a factory reset and update it before calibrating. This can also be done in the software DJI Assistant. Can you do me a favor and Subscribe?

hey man, I am facing the same problem, can you help me out with how you resolved it ?
my mavic picture on the screen is not a square so it do not fit the square on the pc
So I have everything downloaded the screen pops up and the little dots don't come on is there something to do with screen resolution?
It is usually a problem with the firewall or computer blocking the usb cord. Go to the description under the video and try the steps 1-8
--repost from my video description
DJI Assistant 2 keeps asking me to reboot drone when you try to calibrate the Visual Positioning System (VPS) on my PC
1. Disconnect all external monitor/s

do you have to that ?
What is happen if we do not it?
Mtoday my drone have repair and when i open the app it says camera sensor error what i can do to fix it
It could be many things but if you don't get to the part where the dots green/red windows show up. It's usually a problem with the software on your computer. Read my description it has most if not all troubleshooting tips for you to try. Can you do me a favor and Subscribe?

I've tried alibrating using 19, 39, 40, 50, and 60 inch screens and get the screen size error. After entering the screen size and attmpt to calibrate, I get a blank screen. I bought it last November and haven't flown it yet!
What operating system are you running? Did you try the app on administrator privileges (risky but necessary)?

Did you get it to work? Calibrating on my computer, it fails and I get the request to identify the screen size on my computer
on my screen it just says frame alignment error and it doesn't let me continue on from there, it basically stops on step 3/3 :( anyone know what to do with this?
Yes, that was the same problem I was having so I made the video. The computer is blocking the software from communicating with the drone. You can try to disable firewalls on the computer or use a Windows 7 computer it works the best.

Complain to DJI for being brain dead on requiring this calibration without ability to use all PC platforms.
The error popped up for me in the middle of a long flight out in the water...I panicked but things managed okay...however, it did take some frustrations getting the calibration to work.
Yes, all their software has been quite glitchy for me too. I was a first adopter and had to deal with it forcing updates midnight. I hope you have safe flights. There is a lot more neat stuff on this channel. Can you do me a favor and Subscribe?

I followed your instruction but the calibration button is not highlighted on the DJI Assistant. How can I fix. Thanks
Which button at what time stamp in the video?
I was having the same issue and I read that one way someone "fixed" the problem was to unplug a second monitor they had attached to their PC. While it could have of course been a coincidence in my case the next time I opened assistant 2 after I unplugged the 2nd monitor I got the calibration button at the end of the tutorials screen. Unfortunately while I got to that point now I only get a blank screen.
Yeah, I think the monitor thing was a coincidence. The problem is DJI is a Chinese company and they are not interested in digital security for the user and proving their products are safe by filing for the digital signatures software applications, to make their products compatible with windows. Only certain operating systems have loose enough security for them to work. The drone has to communicate from itself, the USB cable and port, the software, operating system, and finally the monitor. I have some instructions one user said works without using mac or Windows 7, I'll post it below.

Im with a big problem every time i get This message: please Reboot the aircraft, i do, but doesnt Works. Im my case i cant pass from tutorial part 3.
Mine won’t calibrate. I finish it and then it just stays loading. Never moves off 0%
Does it do the inspire?
From what I know only the Inspire 2 has the sensors.

From what I understand the Inspire 2. Any of DJI's drones with collision avoidance systems.
As far as I know the Inspire 2. As long as it has obstacle avoidance signals.

I can’t calibrate it said “please reboot the aircraft”
The Mavic took a few minutes to calibrate. The aircraft is not communicating with the computer properly. This is because the program is in Chinese and not certified/digitally signed as safe. There is a list of workarounds other than Windows 7 in the description. I hope this helps. Can you do me a favor and Subscribe?

here is solution:
"Uninstall DJI Assistant 2
Reboot your PC in maintenance mode (right-click Start menu, then hold shift key and left click "restart")
The PC will reboot to a blue screen with options...
Click Troubleshoot.
Click Advanced options.
Click Startup Settings.
Click on Restart.
On the Startup Settings screen press 7 or F7 to disable driver signature enforcement.
The computer will take you to windows...
Reinstall DJI Assistant 2.
During installation, a command prompt window will appear and you'll be asked to accept some permissions. Go ahead and accept them. Nothing to be afraid of.
Don't reboot your computer!
Start DJI Assistant 2
Plugin Drone and turn on"
or simple way, find other computer not running windows 10
Assistant Program is signed in Chinese ... restart computer, shift restart, troubleshoot, allow unsigned apps and programs, then install assistant and calibrate in Windows 10
Keeps Telling Me To Reboot Drone Fix:
DJI Assistant 2 keeps asking me to reboot drone when I try to calibrate the Visual Positioning System (VPS) on my PC laptop
1. Disconnect all external monitor/s
2. Change display settings to 1280x720 resolution
3. Shift + Restart: Hold down the “Shift” button and Restart the computer at the same time.
a. Select the “Troubleshoot” tile on the Choose an option screen that appears.
b. Select “Advanced options”. - Click the “Startup Settings” tile.
c. Click the “Restart” button to restart your PC into the Startup Settings screen.
d. Select option “7” in the Startup Settings screen to activate the “Disable driver signature enforcement” option.
4. You are now ready to calibrate.
5. Make sure not to move drone around - keep the drone in the center of the screen and angle toward the boxes as you calibrate - it will have you calibrate the front sensors and then have you calibrate the bottom sensors
Hope this helps

I’m getting the reboot aircraft error
The reboot aircraft error, usually doesn't mean reboot aircraft. It is trying to tell you that there is no connection between the aircraft and the computer. Try disabling firewall settings temperately or like in this video use a windows 7 PC. This seems to be the easiest way. Can you do me a favor and Subscribe?

Not possible on a chromebook I guess!?
FJ Boss, try a different laptop or desktop. i have 4 computers only 1 would work.
Does DJI really have to make it this difficult
Not really. They didn't pay to have the software certified it is safe. Can you do me a favor and Subscribe?
