Some of the biggest differences between the old Mavic Pro and the new Mavic 2 Pro are the camera, gimbal, battery, speed, obstacle avoidance, etc. Probably the greatest one is the last, the almost 360 degrees Obstacle Avoidance features. Unlike its DJI predecesors, which usually only had forward, downward and backward sensor systems, this new drone comes with cameras and infrared sensors all over its body, being able to detect and stop or fly around most objects in its way. So, how much are you using your new drone's amazing capabilities? Are you a proffesional who uses the sensors to make better footage in complicated places, or are you a beginner that uses them to avoid crashing into anything because you are still new to flying?

I did not use it on my older mavic pro and I do not use it on my MP2.  However; is is useful with active track features.

I personally don’t rely on the sensors. They are not 100% accurate and fail. The only drone I truly loves was my Typhoon H with intel RealSense.  That avoidance system is very accurate, including small branches!

I have never used it on any of my drones, I could have used it on my P4 before it went down the river and gone forever that was completely my fault(never fly blind under a bridge)

Sorry for those who lost their drones . Great flying those who don't usually use them, since they can generate an overconfidence in these systems and make it hard to fly without them when they are not available or using S-mode for higher speeds.
Besides, it is quite hard to pass from flying a drone with 360 obstacle avoidance to one that doesn´t, so its good to be accustomed to this kind of flight.
