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

    I had the same fear. That’s why I made a paper that had screenshots from my findings. It also indicated what log files had erroneous data. I don’t think that they actually made any test flights, since the error could be seen from the logs. It’s much more effective to change a cheap part, than...

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

    I strongly recomend sending the unit for repair. I know it will take some weeks, but then you get a fixed and fully working copter back. Without the fix, I would had not flown so many flights. Bite the bullet.

    "DJI Viewer" - new software for DJI drone video playback

    Does DJI have any viewing or editing capabilities on computer operating systems? Throw in some LUT’s and the ability to cut and join video.

    Compass error results to nonGPS

    I got my drone back! The whole process took 20 days and did not cost me anything. I have to say, DJI pulled this one off nicely. There ware emails from their automated service every now and then, I was kept informed about whats happening. Did not feel the need to send any enquiries. It was...

    Lost video during flight

    There is a change to misinterpret what Simmo said. He was asking to use the cable that came with your phone (aka. device). Not the one that came with the drone.

    Lost video during flight

    Many users have reported, that the small cable that comes from the side of the controller is faulty. I have the same issue. Using an original iPhone cable from the bottom port seems to fix the issue.

    Update from DJI service, GPS Module 42.98 Compass Board 2.48 Repair Service Fee 50.00 With these prices, I won’t hesitate servicing the drone with my own dime, if it breaks later on. I was expecting it to be much more expensive. Shipping cost are not known, but they can’t be more than 20...

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

    Cool, go for it. My drone left about a week ago, and I just got a response that they received it. I don’t think there is much else to do. And it’s good that you documented this issue.

    Micro USB to Lightning Connector is fragile!

    My iPhone cable was faulty right from the box. Had regular connection problems. With the bottom port, it works fine. It’s a bit anoying tough.

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

    Well the case is pretty clear. All tough with logs, we could verify that it is the compass. sometimes heading errors, like a yaw error, is indicated as a compass error, while the error could also be in gyros or accelerometers. But more experienced users can tell, if in such case the calibration...

    Help me with the math: Shutter speed & Frames per second...

    You can try and add motion blur in your video editing software. Sometimes the result is good.

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

    I have no experience working with flight records that the phone has. But more experienced users could see if theres something. What I would expect to see, is that when the camera moves down, some sensor data would start to drift or jump. Then it would be easy to confirm your theory.

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

    Could you record a video that starts before takeoff. Then fly to a spot and start moving the camera up and down. Then provide us with the video and flight records. You can download flight records using DJI Assistant 2. Here's a short video explaining the process. Enable captions We can then...

    Compass error results to nonGPS

    So in the second stage, you ware rotating the drone around the power button, while that button was facing away from you? It’s good to know that Mavic did not accept that calibration. It could be monitoring the process with gyros to see, if you are doing it right.

    Compass error results to nonGPS

    I contacted my seller, and they suggested that the process is faster, if I contact DJI directly. So I sended an e-mail to [email protected] explaining my issues. I had a PDF containing screenshots from CsvView etc. They replied fast and started a support case. They told that the drone has to be...
