Make sure you clean the sensor with the camera lens wipes. Reset everything and start from the beginning. If it is working DO NOT UPDATE.

Adam, as Dronist mentioned, please try to clean the sensor, then try it again. If it persists, please try to refresh the firmware via DJI Assistant 2, see if it works.

Could you please provide us with the screenshot of the DJI Assistant 2 interface when initiating VPS calibration? Is there an impact damage to the drone before? You can try to reinstall the application or calibrate it on another PC to see if it works.

Thank you, please try to relink the drone to DJI Assistant 2 for times, if the left sensor keeps staying black, I recommend sending the drone in for an overall check, it might be a hardware issue.

What is the firmware version of this drone? Please try to refresh the firmware via DJI Assistant 2, see if it helps. Besides, where did you purchase the drone? Please contact the dealer, see if they can help you send it in for diagnosis and repair.

Same boat here! I'm thinking since I've never been able to fly it yet let alone I purchased it yesterday I might go in the morning and exchange it for a new one at Best Buy. Very disappointed..... I can't even try to calibrate. Probably would have flown fine before the update but I never tried. Figured I should do the updates first. Ooops! Maybe it is defective but if I exchange it and the second one does the same thing I'll be back to let everyone here know.

V01.00.0900 - and latest on the controller as well. Using the latest Android App and I've tried Android 6.0 as well as 7.0. Same results. Encoder error.. going to exchange it at Best Buy tomorrow and will update if the 2nd one has the same problem. What the heck DJI! Come on!! I just want to use what I bought. I have a hard time believing there's that many that are defective. Seems like a lame excuse or very poor quality control. I don't' know but I'm very disappointed!

Can't seem to make a thread but a very similar error occurring.. Brand new Mavic out the box, iinstalled new firmware during which the controller disconnected from my phone as I was doing it from the app. Reinstalled the following day and it worked fine. Purchased the DJI Care Refresh and then went to the park to fly. Was getting Vision System Error on the app, so did not end up flying it more than a simple take off and landing. Tried to calibrate vision system with DJI Assistant 2 and the left sensor is greyed out (completley grey picture). I've checked multiple times for film or stickers on the lens but there is nothing. Right one seems to work fine. Pretty upset as the Mavic was a replacement for a dodgy Phantom 3 Standard I had to return and is now sold out where I purchased the Mavic from, so will be unable to switch it out easily.  I've refreshed firmware twice, yet when i go to calibrate it still only the right sensor works. if I hold my finger in front of the right sensor it tells me that it has lost all vision of the calibration image

Going for a holiday in a week and desperately wanted to take the Mavic down. Any chance that it is simply a result of the failed firmware update? I havent crashed it, it has been straight out of the box.

Dji is asking me to send it in for repairs but I shouldn't have to get a brand new drone repaired if it is defective and I got it from Costco and it was the last one and they don't intend on getting anymore

Dji ask me to get a refund and get if from them but I only paid 799 for a new one and dji mavic is 999 then dji tried to get me to purchase a used one for 799...

I purchased a new one that is defective please just send me a replacement

My mavic pro's sensors are not working, I can't calibrate either. Even not getting any error messages. Everytime I try to calibrate getting message ' Please reboot the aircraft'. Tried to calibrate in Windows 7 and Windows 10 but no luck. Downgraded the firmware version but still having same problem. Can anyone help me regarding this issue?
