Ok so the best indicator to confirm the compass isn’t pulled off the correct direction is to check the drone arrow on the map and where it is pointing in relation to the actual drone. thanks I will make sure I do that each time

Yeah I was referring to the needle in the map at the bottom. I noticed you can lock it or you can leave it so which ever way you turn your iPad the needle keeps pointing north. So I was wondering if it was getting the north reading from the drones compass or from the app. In other words if your...

thanks do you know if the compass needle direction on the app is the compass direction of the drone or the apps north direction.

No I don’t launch of roofs but there are plenty of houses around and when I launch from the ground there are at least two metal roofs 15 meters away from take off. in other locations my car may be about 10 meters away which could possibly cause a compass error too. But the thing that I can’t put...

Thanks for the responses. most of the flights do occur near cell towers and houses with WiFi. But I don’t understand why the message only appears just before take off or during take off then does not show again even when I land at the same spot. It occurs about 80% of the time but not after take...

On most occasions when I switch my drone on I get a the following warning “strong wireless interference fly with caution” yes my device is in airplane mode so it’s not caused by that. The warning only shows before take off then It does not show after take off or during flight. Does it mean that...

From my experience with my mavic pro where ever you choose to fly take note that the closer you launch near metal objects the more likely you are to experience IMU and compass errors which could result in a fly away or toilet bowl effect. Launching too close to your car, metal roofs and...

Thanks I have tried the parabolic signal boosters the ones that fit over the antenna but no improvement. Please expand on your last point about the FW hack I am not clear on that one

Yeah definitely a lot of houses with WiFi and satellite dishes. I did expect that it would effect my range but is there anything that one can do to get an extra 100 or 200 meters

I often get the strong wireless interference message before take off. I assume it is to do with the many cel towers around the area but the problem is that it limits me to a distance of 150 to 200 meters and signal gets lost and RTH kicks in. Is there anyway of overcoming this other than...

Thanks for the assistance unfortunately I can’t seem to get that file. However I found a YouTube video that was quite useful. I believe the problem I was having was linked to a compass and IMU discrepancy which I think was cause by my incorrect calibration of the compass. Apparently it is not...

Thanks for all the assistance unfortunately I can’t find away to get that file. However I seemed to have resolved the problem as I got the same error again two days later. I figured that the Compass calibration procedure only had to be done 20 meters away from a magnetic interference and metal...

is this file the correct file?

I got the text log eventually by using the Airdata app but the Airdata app only shows the flight logs it doesn’t reflect anything about the mobile device dat log not sure if it can be extracted from the app

Thanks for this. Yeah I decided to climb to see if it would improve the problem. But it only improved when I got close to where I was. I will try get the mobile device dat log. Not sure how to get it with just my iPad as my pc is not recognizing I’m iPad for some reason
