Ensure your mobile device has access to the Internet. Due to the map data required, Wi-Fi connection is recommended. 

Internet access is required to cache the ground station map, if Wi-Fi is unavailable, mobile data service is required. Open 

the DJI Vision app camera GUI and swipe left to launch ground station(see Figure 101). DJI Vision app cannot connect 

to your aircraft while it is accessing the Internet. Hence, you may prompt with the warning message such as "Connection 

to Phantom Failed". This message will not appear when your aircraft is re-connected to DJI Vision app. Map data of your 

current location will load. You can then drag the map to cache nearby areas for future use(see Figure 102).

Q - A circle on the map, as shown in Figure 104, indicates a restricted, No Waypoint area. Waypoints cannot be 

placed in this area. For more information, refer to "6.2 Flight Restriction of Restricted Areas (P30)". 

• To achieve the optimal video transmission quality, the aircraft is set to operate within a 500m-radius area from Home point. 

Tap on a waypoint to open a waypoint properties window. Slide the white dot right to adjust waypoint altitude. The 

default altitude is set to 98 feet (30 m) and can be adjusted from 0 to 650 feet (200 m). Tap "OK" to save waypoint 

settings. To delete current waypoint, tap 0. Modify longitude and latitude value using the input box. 

Figure 105 

Step 3 Preview a Mission: 

Tap "Done" to preview the mission when all waypoints are set. A prompt similar to the one below will appear. 

This prompt lists all waypoints and their altitudes. The aircraft will fly to each waypoint listed. If there is a difference in altitude 

between waypoints, the aircraft will adjust its altitude as it flies between points. When ready, tap "GO" to begin mission.

Q Aircraft reacts differently to the "GO" command: 

• If aircraft is on the ground, the aircraft takes off automatically and ascend 16 feet (5m) then fly to the first waypoint. 

• If aircraft is in the air, the aircraft flies to the first waypoint. 

Step 4 Executing Flight Mission 

The aircraft flies to each waypoint in numerical order. As it flies, swipe back into the DJI Vision app camera GUI to 

control camera tilt and capture photos or video. Tap m to pause the mission during the flight, and aircraft will then start 

hovering. Tap B to resume mission. If you wish to regain control of the aircraft, toggle the S1 switch on remote control 

from '*(Position-1) to either <0= (Position-2) or ~* (Position-3) to discontinue the current mission. 

Step 5 Landing 

When all waypoints have been visited, the aircraft will return to its Home point and hover. Regain control of the aircraft 

and land it manually. You may also tap E button to initiate "Go Home" procedure. Aircraft will abort current mission, 

return to Home point and auto land.

3 Troubleshooting (FAQ) 

3.1 How to solve large margin(s) mid-point error? 

If the Remote Control stick(s) mid-point margin of error is too big, the motors will fail to start when you execute the CSC 

and the Phantom will not take off. The below are some possible fixes for this. 

(1) One of the Remote Control's stick positions (except the throttle stick) is not centered when powering on the Phantom 

2 Vision+. 

Solution: Place all Remote Control sticks at their mid-point positions and then power cycle the Phantom 2 Vision+ to 

re-record the mid-point. 

(2) The Remote Control sticks have been trimmed, leading to a deviation in the mid-point position. 

Solution: Use Assistant to perform a Remote Control calibration. 

a) Connect to Assistant, tap Basic -> RC -> Command Sticks Calibration and push all Remote Control sticks through 

their complete travel range to see if any stick cannot reach its outermost position. 

b) Power cycle the Phantom 2 Vision+. Power cycling is required. 

c) Re-attempt Remote Control calibration in Assistant. D

If the above solutions do not solve your issue, please send your Remote Control to DJI Customer service for repair. ~ m

3.2 How to restore a video file if power is turned off during a recording session? " 

Solution: Keep or place the Micro-SD card back into the camera. Power cycle the camera and wait about 30 seconds for 

the video file to be restored. 

3.3 Failure to acquire the SSID. 

Solution: Double check whether both the camera and Range Extender are powered on and the power switch of the 

camera is switched to "Wi-Fi ON." 

3.4 What to do if Phantom 2 Vision+ is out of sight and the Wi-F connections is lost? 

Solution: Turn off the Remote Control to trigger the Failsafe mode and the aircraft will start to fly back, descend, and land 

at the Home point. Please make sure there are no obstacles between the Phantom and the home point and that you are 

familiar with the procedure for regaining control. 

3.5 Wi-Fi connection fails all the time. 

Solution: Double check the current Wi-Fi connection status of the mobile device. The mobile device may be connecting 

to other Wi-Fi networks after a connection breaks with the Phantom 2 Vision+. 

3.6 Files fail to synchronize. 

Solution: Video files that are too large (file sizes close to 4GB) cannot be synchronized to the mobile device. Some 

mobile devices do not support the synchronization of the 1080i60 video files.

3.8 Failure to share. 

Solution: Make sure your mobile device has access to the Internet. 

3.9 Some Android devices have a problem connecting to the Phantom 2 Vision+ Wi-F Ectender. 

Solution: Some Android devices do not allow for both a Wi-Fi connection and a mobile data connection at the same time. 

When trying to connect to the Phantom 2 Vision+ Wi-Fi network, most devices will check whether an Internet connection 

has a certain Wi-Fi sefting enabled, e.g. Auto network switch or Test for Internet connection. If no Internet connection 

is found because the Phantom 2 Vision+ creates a non-routable connection it will drop the Phantom 2 Vision+ WiFi network connection and scan for the next available connection. Example: For the Samsung Note 3, carry out the 

following procedures to solve this issue. Tap Settings -> Wi-Fi, and then tap the "Menu" button. Select "Advanced" 

then uncheck the "Auto network switch". You might see a warning that indicates the Internet connection is unstable this 

message can be ignored. 

3.10 App tips for mobile devices. 

Solution: If using the App on multiple mobile devices turn off the App on the first mobile device then turn it on the second 

one to ensure normal functions on the second mobile device. 

3.11 How to land the aircraft more smoothly? 

Solution: First pull the throttle stick position down to lower than 5%, then execute the CSC command to stop the motors. 

3.12 Why is the discharge time of a battery not zero when unused? 

Solution: A battery aging test is performed prior to delivery which affects the discharge time of the new battery. This is 

why the discharge time of a new battery is not zero. The battery is okay to use. 

3.13 Do I need extra hardware to utilize ground station? 

Solution: No extra hardware is required. 

3.14 Does ground station support caching map data offline? 

Solution: Yes, user can cache map data in ground station for future use. 

3.15 What if I accidently exit DJI Vision App in ground station mode? 

If DJI Vision App is closed when aircraft is executing flight mission, aircraft continues with the remaining flight mission. 

If DJI Vision App is closed and failed to re-connect with aircraft within 1 minute, aircraft returns home point automatically.
