DJI Mavic 2 Pro / Zoom Front Vision Sensor Module

When the Mavic 2 Pro and Mavic 2 Zoom arrived in 2018, they were among DJI's first folding drones to sense obstacles on every side. The front vision sensor pair does the most work, because the drone spends most of its time flying forward, and it's also the pair most likely to be damaged.

This front vision sensor module is listed for the DJI Mavic 2 Pro and Mavic 2 Zoom, restoring forward obstacle avoidance and vision positioning. The listing names no manufacturer, so we treat it as aftermarket.

Mavic 2 forward-vision symptoms

Forward obstacle-avoidance errors, the drone failing to brake for obstacles ahead, vision warnings after a crash and cracked front lenses all point here, once cleaning the lenses hasn't helped.

Calibrating an older drone

After fitting, calibrate the vision sensors with DJI's desktop software and test forward sensing slowly in open ground. Older Mavic 2 drones may also need a firmware check before calibration completes.

Is it worth repairing?

Many Mavic 2 Pros still fly well thanks to their large-sensor cameras, so a sensor repair is often a better choice than retiring the drone.

With its front sensors working, a Mavic 2 keeps the forward safety margin it was designed around.
