Fantastic, I’ve just shared your vid on a DJI forum where quite a few are having the problem and no one seems to have been able to work it out. I just followed your described process and its worked. Thanks a heap, great video!
I had a close encounter with a wire on a shoot today. My Air 2S was creeping along in normal mode and constantly showing random numbers from the sensors. I got back and was checking it out and got the error..."system calibration required. Calibration via dji assistant 2 recommended. Anyway, I went down the rabbit hole exactly like you and got stuck. Your video got me re-calibrated again and saved me a lot of time. Great job. Thanks. 👍
Im surprised the sensors picked up wires…usually they don’t and we end up flying into them. Glad you didn’t…: ) Welcome to the channel and safe flying to you
@@ghost1917 They didn't. I miss judged and hit one. It fell about 25 feet and broke all the props. Then discovered the sensor issue. Other than that, it's fine. Thanks again.
@@OffTheDomeMediaGroup ouch!!! Happy to hear all you sustained was prop damage…could have been worse….it’s pretty amazing how well this drone recovers after a crash…good luck and watch out for those wires…: )
Welcome to the channel….hopefully the calibration corrects the error. Also be sure the lens is cleaned well even a little smudge can cause errors…also give it a little flight time after calibration as sometimes it takes a little flight time for the sensor to clear the error after calibration….
@ghost1917 excuse me sir But is it safe for me to do it? Have you had any problems after calibrating? How often should i calibrate? Thank you very much
@@SKITZA_KGC Yes, totally safe to calibrate and you should should only need to perform if you are receiving a sensor error message or if you suffered a collision….hope this helps…: )
Good info, cheers for sharing, I certainly wasn't aware you could calibrate the sensors. I've added your channel, hopefully you'll connect with another drone pilot?
I hope downloaded Assistannt 2 will also work for calibration of sensorsors for Mavic 2 Pro. I am facing the similar problems of calibration for my Mavic 2 pro. I tried assist 2 for mavic 2 pro, but I could not see red and green box on my laptop mac book. Hence I calibrated with assist. After watching this tutorial, I hope I will will be able to calibrate with assist 2, thanks and hope for the best.
@@ghost1917 The procedure you demonstrated, specialy observing the two boxes at bottom left side of screen I will be able to understand the distance between Drone and monitor to calibrater, thanks
Appreciate the help sir. This is my first drone and I got it about 2 weeks ago. Never knew about the dji assistant app or calibratingnthese sensors. I'm sure calibrating is a good thing, but what is the difference in performance out of the box versus calibrating these sensors ? I never got any warnings regarding vision system , but I figured it could only help. Thanks again, will be back for more!
Welcome to the channel…your sensors should be calibrated true…out of the box. But over time they may deviate which is why calibration may need to be performed. Also anytime the drone strikes something however slight may also cause a deviation. If at any point you experience erroneous sensor notifications this is also a sign you may need sensor calibration…enjoy your new drone….: )
I have an air 2S which I started doing calibration on after it had a freak crash while just hovering. While starting calibration I noticed the 2 windows to the lower left on the calibration page on my laptop were just dark, no image at all. I also had no green or red corners for alignment. Could this mean a more serious problem?
Welcome to the channel….another viewer had the same issue when attempting to calibrate his Air2S and he ended up having to send his drone in for repair so my guess is you have hardware damage which would need repairing before you can calibrate…please let me know how you make out and good luck.
Hello, how are you? I tried to perform the sensor calibration, but when finished, I get an error message on the screen(cannot detected screen size). I tried to enter 28 inches, or 3840x2160(4k) resolution, but it won't let me finish the calibration. It is a flat monitor, without curve. do you know how to fix it? I'll stay tuned, thanks.
Great video and very good explained but I ve a question...Is a must to calibrate the sensors when you take the dron out of the box...or they are already calibrated from factory?
No need to calibrate a new out of the box drone. After some use it’s not a bad idea to calibrate rather than wait for an issue and of course after any hard landing or the inevitable crash…: )
When I start the calibration in the first screen with all the dots, I can't see the green or red corners and the sensor status windows are completely black
I Have a Problem Dude. I connect my DJI Air2 S with my PC witha Type-C Cable & then i turned it on. But the Aircraft is not showing in DJI Assistant 2 Software.But the Card inside the aircraft is showing in MY PC. Please Give me the Solution Sir.
First thing you need to check is that you are using DJI Assistant 2 (Consumer drone series) this is the only version of DJI Assistant 2 that will work with the Air 2S.
@@ghost1917 Its All done Sir Thanks a lot. It helped me a lot. Now Secondly. How cani use the DJI Flight Simulator using my DJI Smart Controller. Thanks
Ok with the forward sensors facing the screen you should see the dot screen in the two lower left windows and once you have that you should see the green corners appear and then the red corners

@@ghost1917 Thanks for your response. I had a crash not long ago. Nothing broken....fortunately.... so I had continued flying with it without noituicuing anything weirs as for behaviour. I presume I should not calibrate those sensors...
Yeah it fell after hitting a tree. So I determined it’s not working based on the on screen warning “upward sensor blocked,fly with caution” and on this calibration app in the bottom when going through all the other sensors calibration you can see what the sensors are seeing in black and white but when it switches to the upper ones I wasn’t seeing anything from the left sensor only the right one.
Ok my guess is the left sensor was damaged in the crash. I would try doing a factory reset and then attempt the calibration process again to see if the reset fixed the camera problem. If it has not then you prob have to send drone back to DJI to have the camera replaced…hope this helps.
There are several videos on RU-vid showing how to replace sensor but DJI doesn’t suggest owners attempting this themselves. I myself have not attempted a sensor replacement but can’t say I wouldn’t try if I needed to….: ) You can pick up the part online for about $80 US it’s a one piece module containing the forward and upward sensors and it seems like a pretty straight forward repair
I have tried more than 2 dozen times and I keep getting an aircraft movement error. I held the drone completely still and I still got the same error message. I have tired again, and still the same issue. I again held the drone completely still and after about 2 seconds it errors out.
It could be one of several issue but first you need to make sure your using the correct DJI Assistant for Air 2S. If you are using the correct version of DJI Assistant 2 then it is most likely your PC monitor screen resolution giving you the problem. Are you attempting calibration on a PC or a Mac.
@@ghost1917 PC. I did double check and I have the correct app for the Air 2s. When it first loaded it asked what the screen resolution was and I even went into display settings to make sure it was setup correctly (1920*1080).
@@ghost1917 that was going to be my next step. My biggest fear is I did permanent damage after a hard landing the other day (storm spotting and a strong gust of wind knocked it into a tree)
@@ghost1917 I am "hijacking" this question, as i get the same. Its always at the very end, when is going from 0-100%, it never gives the complete message. I can do all the test, no problems, it just isn't able to complete det final step.
