    Barbados... Taking a drone THROUGH Barbados.

    Gimbal causing magnetic Interference.

    Thank-you for your help. Most appreciated. I will have a look at this fix, very dissappointing coming back in this state from DJI, who claim they have fully tested it and meets new requirements for a refurbed one.

    Gimbal causing magnetic Interference.

    Tried absolutely everything from the forums and DJI guide. It ws only yesterday that I found out it was the Gimbal causing it. Once rotated down and left in the position, the Mag Int remains, so I think it has something to do with the positioning of the Camera. Even removed the filter in case...

    Gimbal causing magnetic Interference.

    Ok, I have found the cause! When I move the Camer down, the Mag Int comes on. When I bring it back up it clears and goes to normal? Any ideas on what's wrong with the Gimbal? Connections maybe?

    Happy for you. Mine had a flyaway into a tree and was diagnosed as a techical fault. It only had $240 damage and 2 hours on it and they replaced it with a refurbed one. It hasn't worked properly since I got it back. Everytime I ask for a new replacement, they remind me of the warranty, even...

    Any idea, how I can esculate an ongoing warranty claim with DJI instead of just getting the runaround and refurbished Drone replacements?

    Yes, I am working on the DAT file now. Have done many compass calibration when prompted.
