Precision landing question

Does the Mavic 2 pro automatically use precision landing? There is not setting for it?

If you pause your flight at 10-20 feet you should get a message that precision landing is active. The pause is needed for the aircraft to get a good visual fix.

Omg... I had no idea. Thanks!

See pages 19-20 of the V1.6 User manual.

That's page 19 in the new V2.0 manual found here ...

You dont need to pause, simply ascend vertically 7m or more without moving the aircraft.

Probably not, but I've found my landings to be more precise if I do. YMMV.

Makes no difference at all to accuracy (as backed up by the manual). The not-moving is the important part for accuracy, nothing else.

Why not just land manually, it is easy to do and I'm no expert but have done that from the start these past two years with never a problem?

Precision landing is very useful to have in the event of a problem, should the RC fail, connection be lost and not re-established and so on its worth knowing the drone will land within a few inches of where it left as opposed to a few metres (so hitting trees, wires, rooftops, rocks, the sea etc).

I hand launch and catch 90%+ of the time but its still useful to have confidence the drone will return *exactly* should i lose signal and am unable to reconnect.

I've auto landed airliners many times over the years and enjoy doing the same with the drone. It's just cool to watch! LOL Technology is awesome (just be prepared and capable to take over manually)

I'm not sure but I feel like a nice bright object that stands out really helps the M2P accuracy also. I went with the bright orange 3 footer from Hoodman and the drone seems to love it....

There is no setting. Just follow the tips here:

HOW TO: Use Precision Landing with the Mavic 2 Pro/Zoom

When the Mavic 2 Pro and Mavic 2 Zoom drones were released in August, the Precision Landing feature was not included. Many people who upgraded from other DJI drone models were upset that this feature was not carried over to the Mavic 2 and a long debate started over in this thread in the DJI […]
