Calibrating Vision System Cameras
The Forward, Backward, and Downward Vision System cameras installed on the aircraft are factory-
calibrated, but may require calibration via DJI Assistant 2 or the DJI GO 4 app if the aircraft is subjected
to an impact.
The most accurate way to calibrate the vision systems is by using DJI Assistant 2. Follow the steps
below to calibrate the Forward Vision System cameras, then repeat the steps to calibrate the Backward
and Downward Vision System cameras.
1. Point the aircraft toward the screen.
2. Move the aircraft to align the boxes shown on the screen.
3. Pan and tilt the aircraft as prompted.
When the DJI GO 4 app noties that a vision system calibration is required but a computer is not nearby
a quick calibration can be performed within the app. Tap through “Aircraft Status” > “Vision Sensors” to
start quick calibration.
Quick calibration is a quick x to vision system issues. When possible, connecting the aircraft
to a computer to carry out a full calibration using DJI Assistant 2 is recommended. Only
calibrate when lighting conditions are adequate and on textured surfaces such as grass.
Do not calibrate the aircraft on highly reective surfaces such as marble or ceramic tiles.
