    Why the issues flying near metallic objects?

    Why the issues flying near metallic objects?

    I rarely encounter this error now that I know to power on far enough away from cars or other large metal objects. That being said, it still does happen occasionally and when it does, it won't clear and allow takeoff unless I actually do the recalibration. A power cycle has never cleared it...

    Why the issues flying near metallic objects?

    When it happens, I get the "compass calibration required' message and the drone will not allow takeoff until the calibration is done (horizontal and vertical 360 rotations).

    Explore mode without digital zoom on 3 Pro?

    Is it possible to switch between the three cameras on the Mavic 3 Pro using the zoom wheel control? I do a lot of video shooting of high-action scenes outdoors in the cold with gloves on, and would like to be able to quickly switch between the 3 cameras using the zoom wheel. Basically just...
