Forward and Downward Vision System

The Mavic Pro is equipped with a Forward and Downward Vision System that constantly scans for

obstacles in front of it, allowing it to avoid collisions by going around, over or hovering. The down-

ward Vision System uses ultrasound and image data to help the aircraft maintain its current position.

With the help of the Downward Vision System, your Mavic Pro can hover in place more precisely

and fly indoors or in other environments where a GPS signal is not available. The main components

of the Forward and Downward Vision System are located on the nose and the bottom of the aircraft;

they include [1] [2] four monocular sensors and [3] two ultrasonic sensors.

Only use Tripod Mode where the GPS signal is strong or light conditions are ideal for the vision

system. If GPS signal is lost and if the vision system cannot function, it will automatically switch

to Atti mode. In this case, flight speed will increase and the aircraft cannot hover in place. Use

Tripod Mode carefully.

Tripod Mode

Tap the icon in the DJI GO 4 app to enable Tripod Mode. In Tripod Mode, the maximum flight speed

is limited to 2.2 mph (3.6 kph). Responsiveness to stick movements is also reduced for smoother more

controlled movements.

It is important that you only fly in conditions where the Vision Position System can function

correctly; otherwise the Terrain Follow Mode will not work.

Terrain Follow Mode

The Downward Vision System is utilized in Terrain Follow Mode to maintain a height above ground

between 1 and 13 meters. This mode is designed for use on grassland sloped at no more than 20°.

Enable the Terrain Follow Mode by tapping the Intelligent Flight Mode icon in the DJI GO 4 app. When

this mode is enabled, the aircraft’s current height will be recorded. The aircraft will maintain the recorded

height during flight and ascend when the slope rises. However, the aircraft will not descend in downward

slopes.

Cinematic Mode

Tap the Intelligent Flight Mode icon in the DJI GO 4 app to enable Cinematic Mode. In Cinematic mode,
the braking distance for the aircraft is extended. The aircraft will slow down gently until it stops, keeping
footage smooth and stable even if control inputs are choppy.
