    Mavic Pro Compass Error (Magnetic Interference when camera facing down)

    Hi Armand, I experienced this magnetic interference with 3 of the Mavic Pro's I had, all only when the camera/gimbal was pointing down. I also had difficulty calibrating the compass on all 3. It is easy to simulate and even while stationary on the ground it behaved this way. DJI eventually...

    Nope, it's a manufacture fault, units have to be sent back to DJI

    Would you mind posting some of your footage of moving water and waterfalls, I am really inquisitive to understand the issue you are referring to?

    Mavic Pro Platinum Gimbal

    Hi Paul. No high wind warnings. In fact it was very still. The props were only visible because the gimbal was pointing up higher than the horizontal position. I normally have this setting set to 30 degrees up but it was not in this case. It was not even in sport mode. I also wondered about this.

    Does anyone know what would cause this? While flying my new MPP occasionally the gimbal goes haywire and then locks up in this position? I have done several gimbal calibrations before this happened but not since. No filters. Stock standard. I even suspected that protective sticker to maybe...

    Share your tips on how to avoid birds!

    I wish I had tried some of these tips before this Black Eagle took my MP down :rolleyes: I now have a MPP so maybe the colour wont attract the birds as much o_O My Mavic Pro was attacked by a Black Eagle

    Mavic Pro Compass Error (Magnetic Interference when camera facing down)

    Hi Ekto Unfortunately I don't have the Mavic Pro anymore. The shop have kept it (in fact both new units) and have loaned me a Mavic Air in the meantime. I do have the flight records cached on my phone with a video cache (with audio) that I could provide? Kevin

    Compass error when looking down

    I have this exact same issue. In fact DJI replaced my Mavic Pro and the new Mavic Pro is also doing the same thing :confused:

    The DJI shop exchanged my MP (and RC). The replacement does exactly the same thing o_O
