Vision System Error

[phoenixaerialsusa]

New Mavic. 2nd flight. Shortly in it, I got the Vision System Error message. I searched for fixes.

I tried to calibrate the vision sensors through the app, but it wouldn't let me do it. It said the sensors were normal.

Next step, when I get home, will be to download the DJI Assistant software and try to calibrate the sensors that way.

Any other suggestions? Am I wasting my time and should I just send it back for a replacement?

Thanks

Did the Vision System Error message go away during the flight or do you still have it?

Nope, still have it.

I'd turn the sensors off in the app, reboot everything then back off. Turn the sensors back on & try rebooting everything. I think this problem comes & goes & its more of a firmware problem then hardware unless you landed it hard on your first flight. You could even try downgrading the software. I know all of this is a hassle for a brand new drone.

No hard landings at all. Flew fine, then I got the error message while in flight. I'll give that a try.

I think I solved it..for now. I found a YouTube video on how to calibrate the vision sensors. I downloaded the DJI Assistant software and went through the steps. The first time it looked like it worked, but got stuck at 85%. Then I did it again and it calibrated the sensors quickly. When I started it up, there was no warning message.

I went out this morning and flew for 20 minutes and had no errors. Hopefully that permanently solved the problem.
