    Calibration of Mavic Pro compass

    I recently moved from DE to NC. When I first took flight with my Mavic Pro in NC, I saw that the compass needed to be calibrated. So as per instructions, I attempted to recalibrate. No luck! Tried everything, but still not able to correct this. One time, with Mavic’s nose pointing away from me...

    Weird behavior at night in one specific place (MA2). Can someone understand what's happening?

    Hey! I have been flying the Mavic Air 2 for 3 months, and it's great. My favorite takeoff place is the top floor of my apartment building, it's easy to go there, and I always have good signal with good range. But there is a strange occurrence that I noticed when flying at night or late evening...

    Mavic Air flew off, accelerated and smashed in to a wall at nearly 40mph!

    I have had my Mavic Air since it first came out and have used it many times with very few issues until yesterday. I have not used it for 3 months and charged the battery up fully. Went to my local beach to fly it where there is a lot of wide open space. I placed it down on a big flat concrete...

    Problems with the stability of the hang of the drone.

    Hello everybody. Help me deal with the problem. Sorry for my English. Today I flew to the UK to my friends. We wanted to shoot a video from a drone. I launched the drone and the drone began to behave strangely. The drone can not hang at one point, a compass error appeared 2 times, the drone went...

    MA Compass Calibration - DJI Go 4 app vs Litchi app?

    I’ve seen far too many posts regarding the frustration of wanting to fly but unable to, due to persistent compass calibration requests by the DGI Go 4 app. I also have received this and it seems to coincide with traveling some distance from the previous location where a flight was successful...

    Mavic Air compass calibration error - couldn't fly

    Hi everyone I'm a new MA owner and decided to get into the mountains (Cederberg) is Western Cape, South Africa. Only to find that when I did try to launch, I got the compass calibration error again and again, and ended up not being able to fly at all. Really annoying when you travel into such...

    Magnetic Interfence with Compass

    Hey guys, I’ve had my Mavic Air for about a month and it’s worked great so far and have only had to calibrate the compass about 3-4 times. Last weekend I took it to the beach for the first time and tried to fly it but the compass kept saying there was magnetic interference. I just got an...

    Compass issues

    I know this topic has been done to death but I was wondering if anyone has had issues calibrating their compass in the mountains. I am in Geiranger, Norway at the moment and had a scary experience with my drone where it had compass warnings out over water a few 100 meters behind a cruise ship...

    Cannot calibrate compass

    When I try to calibrate the compass the app doesn't move passed the rotate horizontally screen. Screen shot below. I'm rotating the drone, of course, and I've watched some videos showing how to calibrate the compass correctly. Does anyone have an idea why this isn't working? I'm using the...

    Another Compass Calibration, Seriously?

    My Mavic Air seems to require a compass calibration each time I fly. Indoors, seems to be mostly normal but outdoors is another story. I fly in rural areas over forest, lakes, waterfalls. Today I launched from a frozen lake. My Mavic Air needed the usual compass calibration dance (3X) and my DJI...
