dude you saved my A$$, I spent HOURS on the DJI forums trying to find someone to help me and NO ONE had the solution as to why I could not see the calibrating dots on my Mac and then I ran across you!!!! It was as you said...I changed my screen resolution and BAM!!!I swear if I could get my hands on you I'd kiss you square on the jaw....THANK YOU!!!!!
I work as Private Investigator and an appointed Deputy Sheriff and a dept collector and tracing of goods and people that are wanted by the Law I'm based in Swaziland I bought myself the DJI Mavic Pro which assist me on my work very easily and with no problems and youtube has helped me greatly time and time over and over, I like to say thanks guys u are doing a great job here because if it was not for u I would have not got this far in understanding the works of my Drone DJI Mavic Pro. last I thank DJI for the Drone which is the best to work with.
Thank you for this video. I've owned the Mavic Pro since launch, and a few months ago I got the "Calibrate Vision Sensors in DJI Assistant 2" error. I ignored it because I only used the drone for short flights in the field. Well, I listed the drone for sale as I finally want to upgrade, and figured I'd calibrate the sensors before I sold it. Your video made the process extremely easy. Setting my 4K Monitor to 1600 x 900 was crucial. Thanks again
I know I'm a little late to the party here but, Thanks so much!! My issue was two-fold. The first was the drifting while hovering. Second was a constant "Obstacle" Msg on the radio itself the last two flights. It would fly fine but the controller would shake every 5 seconds. This Vision System Sensor calibration solved both and I really can't thank you enough! My laptop's screen res was fine so I didn't have to tweak anything there. Biggest issue was the correct v1.2.5 You Rock!
I had two problems. First I had a yellow alert across my screen that said the 'forward vision sensors' needed calibrating. I downloaded the DJI Assistant app for the mac but when I clicked on calibrate now the screen was just as white as yours. Thank you so much for clearing up the reason why that happened. I readjusted the display resolution to 1600 and wella I got the large black dots and the blue squares to allow me to continue calibration. The gimbal on my Mavic was also cocked to the right and not facing straight forward. Calibrating the gimbal took care of that problem and now I get the Ready to Go green light that I hadn't had for a few weeks now. All thanks to you. Thumbs up buddy!
Thank you so much kind sir! I just got my mavic pro the other day and in the two days trying to figure everything out, i messed up the vision system. Your amazing video was a god send, and solved that problem for me. I have used your url on some sites now directing anyone with this problem to check out your video for this. Thank you again and Happy Flying!
Thanks so much for the patient and thorough way you explained this. I have been trying for months to calibrate on my MacBook and your excellent video walked me through all the obstacles I was facing and my Mavic is now fully operational again...another big thanks.
Thank you, past Henrik! I had trouble with the end at 7:11. It said 0% forever. After trying 3 times and reinstalling the DJI assistant, with no luck, I decided to use a PC instead of my Mac. First try, it calibrated perfectly. All good now. 👍
Thanks for this information. It worked for me. A little challenging but I got it callibrated and back in the air. My biggest problem was installing the Assistant itself. Chrome would not open the file saying it was not certified or signed by the developer. I used Safari and I could manually tell my Mac to trust it. After that all went pretty well. Thanks again for your help.
I have tried this a million times and keep getting calibration failed, any suggestions? I have rebooted pc, and the drone reinstalled the software , and have the latest firmware installed tried different USB cables.. I'm at a loss
Many thanks for a really helpful and easy to follow vlog. Just had to calibrate vision sensor. First time I have come across this. Was cluless as what to do. But thanks to your video I have just completed re calibration. Many thanks for sharing your knowledge. Have just subscribed and look forward to your new vlogs and also look forward to checking previous vlogs. Many thanks and God Bless
This was very useful, thank you for the video. I faced the same problem with my Mavic Pro so I followed the instructions step by step - problem solved! 👏👏 The MacOs file size is slightly above 200MB and is compatible with Big Sur. I also updated the firmware version. Everything works like charm now!
Thanks for the video. I am calibrating my Mavic pro right now. I can do all the calibration, but after doing all the sensors the final calibration doesn't seem to happen
Thank you - I dropped my Mavic - i tried calibration and nothing came up on the screen - looking at the pics of the sensors it looked like smashed glass - I altered the resolution of my mac and it all sprang into life - so I now know the cameras work fine
Good evening I just got a mavic pro off ebay and I had to preform the calibration like you demonstrated but I am still getting the error. Any further advice?
While I really appreciate all of your help, it's just unacceptable that so many people have trouble with the DJI software. "Please restart your aircraft" actually requires you to restart the PC? I had to get a NON-DJI cable to connect to a DJI product? A specific resolution is required for even attempting calibration? As I said, I appreciate the OUTSTANDING help you provide in this video, but as a software QA professional, DJI is screwing themselves BADLY by not having better support software for such an expensive product. Sadly, I can't get the CALIBRATE NOW button to not be grayed out. Darn you, DJI! Even having to go to a PC is a big ask, but these problems? How do they stay on top? Is there anything else you can recommend? Thank you.
Hi Good day, great video. Just one question, can the DJI vision system calibration work with a 14 inches laptop screen? Thanks and more power to you and your channel!!
Hi. I'm trying to do the same thing with a 14in laptop. I got as far as the dotted screen but no follow box and follow indicators from the drone. Was that your issue?
Good tip on screen resolution! Seems easy on a MAC. PC's running AntiVirus block Assistant 2 from downloading. Antivirus needs to be turned off first to allow it to run and install.
I did the calibration fine..front n bottom ok..waited 1 min then said it failed calibration please enter screen size in inches..24'' then screen goes white and n%o button seen to restart calibration.
Thanks for the video ! My dji mavic air does not appaer in the windows of assistent 2 . Win 10 can read the mavic air but ass.2 does not . Do you know where do i go wrong ? Appreciate any help
Why doesnt it show the red calibration square on my side just the green one. i have rebooted the app and my computer . Iv'e also changed the display on my screen and still no red square
Hello, please help me. I dont know what screen size to put into Calibration. I put 19" but after calculating, it was said to recalibrate and the screen size was error. If Im going to recalibrate, the camera in the monitor was gone. Please help, i cant use my dji mavic
I had found the best resolution as you recommended. I found out on-line that you MUST unplug any second screen.This got me past the greyed out calibrate button and the dots screen appeared. Have been through the dots screens processionals SIX + times and now at the end of the process it just returns to the first dots screen stage . I also had to do calibration for rear sensors. Thank you for an excellent video . I would be most grateful if you could suggest any solution. I am using the same 27" iMac as you. Regards. Laurie
Hello, i always get a grey color on the sensor status on the down left corner of the calibration page, with abnormal list of errors ( vision system error) since day one
I downloaded Assistant +2v 1.2.4 it keeps telling me I have the wrong version? it says "Device not supported." I find no newer software than the 2016 version. I have a Mavic Pro, am I not understanding something? been through 5 attempts, nothing seems to work. TIA
I still get the "Calibrate"' button grayed out... Have installed the DJI Assistant 2 on my PC with Windows 10. I have restarted my PC, disconnected the drone from the PC, waited 20+ seconds before connected the drone to the PC. The software displays the Firmware on my Mavic, but as soon as I click the "Calibration" tab, and click through the 3 "Tutorials", I get the message that I need to reboot the aircraft. And keep getting that message over, and over again... Any thoughts?
Ассистент2 sees Mavik about, but at the beginning of the calibration, the approach of mavik to the calibration table, nothing happens. Finding that the sensors are off. How to check the connection of sensors to Mavic Pro?
Hi I've followed all instructions to calibrate vision sensors but when I go to fly it now my camera view has black and white diagonal lines where the sky should be. Any ideas how to fix this please?
PLEASE ADVISE!!!! This is very frustrating. the calibrating works fine when I point the drone close to the screen but when I have to pull it back to calibrate it has an error saying can't calibrate image. I've tried all the resolutions and get the same message. When I calibrate the bottom cameras they work just fine. It's only when I have to pull back the drone further from the image. Is this user error or the camera?
I just tried to do this and I’m stuck on the screen telling me to connect my drone to the computer. I’ve rebooted the drone and computer. I’ve also erased and re-downloaded the assistant 2. Same result. Please help. Thanks.
thank you for your video, this was extremely helpful. I did all the calibration and it was a 100% successful but now when I restarted the aircraft it shows in the upper left corner "Aircraft Disconnected" and if you click on it then you come to the page Aircraft Status, and there you scroll down to Gimbel Status and it says "Gimbel Dissconected". any suggestion
I've been able to get through most of those steps until the final one where I complete the calibration but when it starts calculating (i.e. at 7.11 minutes in your video), either it will seem to freeze at 57% complete and not go any further or will come up saying 'calibration failed' (despite the fact that I went through all the previous steps before and they seemed to work). Just wondering if you've run into this issue before and if you had any recommendations on how to fix it?
I finally got the DJI Assistant up and running, but one of my sensors is blinking? Does this mean it is broken? I just got the drone and it has naver crashed (yet). But there's no possible way it would be broken. Could it be a software bug and is it possible to repair it or is this covered in a warranty?

Great job! I'm glad you figured out the display issue, as I had the same problem. It would have taken me all night to figure it out. Thanks!
Thanks...I also had the white screen. Doing a reset on the screen did it. Worked perfectly. Thanks for an outstanding explanation. Take care.
Thanks so much for the patient and thorough way you explained this. I have been trying for months to calibrate on my MacBook and your excellent video walked me through all the obstacles I was facing and my Mavic is now fully operational again...another big thanks.
I’m happy to help
Thank you! I have a shoot in an hour and I've been trying to figure this out for ages! Your vid fixed it no problem. Cheers!
Awesome 😎
Wonderful information. Just followed your tutorial to calibrate my Mavic Pro Platinum.
Great to hear!
I greatly appreciated this video, never thought in a million year this issue was related to screen resolution.
+Miguel Perez u are welcome. I was pretty surprised about this myself
Thank you for your help, this was extremely helpful given all the problems people are having using a MAC.
+Andy Tjan u are welcome
Thank you! Had no idea about the Assistant Program! Plus I'm going on vacation and calibrating the sensors before I go is a must!
great guy helped me out keep doing video like this
Thanks a lot for this very useful video that helped me a lot to set up my new mavic pro !
Thank you, this helped with my New to me Mavic Pro!
Excellent video the bit about the MAC resolution is a great help !
Thank you, past Henrik!
I had trouble with the end at 7:11. It said 0% forever.
After trying 3 times and reinstalling the DJI assistant, with no luck, I decided to use a PC instead of my Mac.
First try, it calibrated perfectly. All good now. 👍
you intalled the wrong software .. download assitance 2 for mavic will work
Keep the videos coming. Good stuff.
Nice video sir...&... thanks for sharing knowledge.
Thanks for this information. It worked for me. A little challenging but I got it callibrated and back in the air. My biggest problem was installing the Assistant itself. Chrome would not open the file saying it was not certified or signed by the developer. I used Safari and I could manually tell my Mac to trust it. After that all went pretty well. Thanks again for your help.
thank you for you explain !!! the tutorial is very simple to understand and great idea to add the subtext on the video !!!
bravissimo molto utile e semplice da fare ... grazie del tutorial
Thank you sir it worked perfectly I had no issues at all I've added you to my playlist altitude
Thank you, this helped my.
greetz from Holland
Thank you. Your video has helped me with calibration.
I have tried this a million times and keep getting calibration failed, any suggestions? I have rebooted pc, and the drone reinstalled the software , and have the latest firmware installed tried different USB cables.. I'm at a loss
Thank You for this video. I subscribed. I really like the way you explain things.

Thank You so much great info!!
thanks you very much this was really helpful
Good evening I just got a mavic pro off ebay and I had to preform the calibration like you demonstrated but I am still getting the error. Any further advice?
Thanks. But would advise to always take off the propellers when you're not flying......it could hurt a bit.......keep on the good work
good advice should have thought about that
Great Job. thank you!! well done
Thanks man for help
Excellent video. Thanks for sharing. As others have said, please take off the props before you do this.
Thank you so much about this video, its so helpfull
Cool, happy it helped

Yeah my Calibrate Now button is grayed out. Any idea how to fix this problem?
You fix this buy running computer in safe mode and use a usb to install dji software in safe mode. it will work
hello there are 2 sensos at the bottom of the drone. does both light lit up or only one ?
i really appreciate this, thank you
How often should I do this?
Only when asked
Hi Good day, great video. Just one question, can the DJI vision system calibration work with a 14 inches laptop screen? Thanks and more power to you and your channel!!
Hi. I'm trying to do the same thing with a 14in laptop. I got as far as the dotted screen but no follow box and follow indicators from the drone. Was that your issue?
I need help with my mavic pro i had a crash and im having trouble with camera
Great! Keep it up!
Good tip on screen resolution! Seems easy on a MAC. PC's running AntiVirus block Assistant 2 from downloading. Antivirus needs to be turned off first to allow it to run and install.
Graeme Heinrich DJI should make this process easier
Awesome, Thank you so much.
I did the calibration fine..front n bottom ok..waited 1 min then said it failed calibration please enter screen size in inches..24'' then screen goes white and n%o button seen to restart calibration.
What do I do of it doesn't recognize my mavic?
Same 😤
You have powered it on? Try another cable
Thank you so much!
Just what I was looking for. Thanks.
Thanks for the video ! My dji mavic air does not appaer in the windows of assistent 2 . Win 10 can read the mavic air but ass.2 does not . Do you know where do i go wrong ? Appreciate any help
Did you turn it on after you plugged it in?
Thank you, sir.
So what do I do if it’s not complaining the download at the end
Why doesnt it show the red calibration square on my side just the green one. i have rebooted the app and my computer . Iv'e also changed the display on my screen and still no red square
Hello, please help me. I dont know what screen size to put into Calibration. I put 19" but after calculating, it was said to recalibrate and the screen size was error. If Im going to recalibrate, the camera in the monitor was gone. Please help, i cant use my dji mavic
It needs to be quite low, so you just need to experiment to get it right
great info thanks
thanks
nice job well done
Sir, Calculating calibration information collected. calibrating...... it take much time n never end this process
please help
Join Tech Drone Media Facebook group and post a video of what you see, then we might be able to help
Thanks
What if i can see the green thing that the red one should be it i lifted the drone but didnt see the red one please help
I had found the best resolution as you recommended. I found out on-line that you MUST unplug any second screen.This got me past the greyed out calibrate button and the dots screen appeared.

Mabe, try see if you can get an older version
thanks
thank you!!!!!

Evey time I turn on my dron it doesn't say it's connected why?
Merci!

No I have not had this problem

how often could you do this, would every 6 months be worth checking the sensors?
no need, mine just told me it was time.
tk
does this fix the VISION SYSTEM ERROR on mavic pro?i have this error now,mavic fall backward knee high..
might be worth a try
Mine is still greyed out unfortunately
nice job 😎
vielen dank
Good video, but my Mavic does not generate any red lines, so I cannot calibrate it. I am using the charging cord from an ipad.
when you restart the drone at the end , must the drone be connected to the computer until the it restarts?
I would believe so, but not sure as I always have it connected
I just tried to do this and I’m stuck on the screen telling me to connect my drone to the computer. I’ve rebooted the drone and computer. I’ve also erased and re-downloaded the assistant 2. Same result. Please help. Thanks.
Bad cable?

same shit is happening over here in my Mac
I finally got the DJI Assistant up and running, but one of my sensors is blinking?
Does this mean it is broken? I just got the drone and it has naver crashed (yet). But there's no possible way it would be broken.
Could it be a software bug and is it possible to repair it or is this covered in a warranty?
Not sure I follow, jump into the tech drone media Facebook group and post short video showing the issue, thanks
Thanks. My problem was the resolution that has to be 1600x900! After that it was a piece of cake.
