Compass error when looking down

[CandyMan_ZA]

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

My Mavic Pro arrived with the same problem

Your unit must have an actual hardware problem. Never seen anyone else with that issue.

I have this problem, Compass error and Magnetic Interference warning, as soon as I point gimbal straight down. When I point it up, it goes away.

It was also hard to calibrate the compass, I had to have someone use the remote 8m away from me, in order for the pointing the AC down part of the calibration to work. However, when the calibration was successful, it did not fix the problem of the Compass and Magnetic Interference errors showing up while gimbal is pointing down.

I had no difficulties but I believe it's because I made sure that I was far away from anything that could cause interference like metal, cell phones, concrete and even the Mavic controller. I basically set the Mavic at about 20-25 feet away, flipped the switch between sport and normal mode multiple times until the yellow light came on on the back of the Mavic, set the controller down and then walked over and performed the calibration.

My calibration also only worked when RC was 8m away from AC. It did not stop the compass and magnetic interference errors. However, I have not tried IMU and gimbal calibration. My last option is the Cfixer demagnetizer.

See my comments in Mavic Help section on Compass calibration problem. Degauss is worth a shot.
