compass

Hi all. What exactly is it that affects flying near metallic objects - is it interference with the compass or more complicated, please? Would love to know.

I have seen people taking off from the top of their cars without any issues, and others report that it's a risk to take off anywhere near a metallic structure. I've also heard that it is okay to takeoff near metal as long as you don't calibrate the compass near the metal, so when the drone gets...

Hello, I've already noticed some tumble/jerk during my 2nd flight with some spontaneous gimbal/cam tilting down issues, it was absolutely scary. So I decided to do some 1-meter hover to see whether the tumble/jerk continues to happen. And yep, it started to shake in the air like hell, and then...

Hello I have bought Mavic Pro Platinum a while ago, then I crashed it and I had to replace few body parts and cables, I got it back from repair for 3 days and I was flying it everything was ok, but yesterday I was flying in a nice weather no wind and after about 15mins of flight my drone went...

I was using my mavic mini 2 recently and noticed it would not fly backwards. When i rotated it, however, i found it would fly backwards fine, but now not forwards. It was like it simply couldn't fly in 1 compass direction. The only thing I could think of was that there was an airport about 3...

I haven't gotten a single compass error and live with a really bad magnetic field. My other DJI's give them immediatly if turned on here, either way I calibrate pre-flight but just wanted to know if anyone could offer some insight. I'm new to the Fly app and wouldn't want lose this drone over...

I bought my AIR a while back and was immediately spooked by the comments that seemed to suggest the firmware was flakey. I did the dilligent thing and watched lots of videos on how not to lose the drone. I've had the drone out just 3 times and flown for all of 20 mins. During this time I've...

1. Just updated to newest firmware. Afterwards I have had several issues - drift during flight amongst them. I am calibrating the IMU according to DJI´s video instructions - it remains stuck on step 2 - any solutions ? I have watched the recommended video, done precisely as it recommends, but...

Has anyone else noticed that the compass orientation shown in the radar display is greatly affected by the controller itself. On my galaxy S9, the north indication is completely different depending on whether or not the phone is clamped in the controller. This happens regardless of whether or...

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...

Hello everyone. This is my first post here, so I'm gonna start with a little presentation of myself. My name is André and I'm from Portugal. I'm 26y old and recently I started following my dream of becoming a Landscape Photographer, I quit my 7-year job as a Meteorologist and since October 2017...

MP Q - on the 'radar dial' in the lower-left of the Go4 screen, the red arrow is craft orientation .. that's easy.. (N) is north .. and the white diamond is 'controller direction' (CD)... got all that. My question is: "Shouldn't the (N) always stay pointing north and the CD move as the...

I have had my MP for about 2 months - the below began about a month ago but it took a while for it to be 100% recreateable - now it happens every time... In short, the "MP Direction Arrow" (MPDA) can be 90-180 degrees off of actual craft direction - most/all indicators start out right but...

Some may recall my previous post where a Black Eagle took my MP out. I have now replaced it. I have however been experiencing intermittent Compass Errors due to Magnetic Interference. All software is up to date. So, I did some testing just now, while calibrating the compass in a big open field I...

Hi! I’ve had my MPP for about a month, and on almost every flight I’ve had a compass error which results in gps error (?) and ATTI mode is enabled. I believe the two compasses (redundancy) sends different data to the drone, which then cannot for sure know its precise location and also disables...

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...

good to all members, I'm new to the page and new to the drones. my question is if student knows why the existence of the compass in the mavic pro. What is the function of the compass? Detects the sides of the drone? Many thanks to all for forming this type of forums are very helpful. pd: I'm...

Hi, and pardon my french. English is not my native language, but I hope this makes some sense... I'm just writing my story here, I hope it helps someone who might have same issues. I bought my MP fly more combo last thursday and I was anxious to get it in the air. Before buying MP, I had been...

Hi, I bought a mavic few days ago and i'm facing some issues regarding to compass. I was using ASUS ZENFONE 3(now ipad mini) and during flight I was receiving compass error messages, like Move Aircraft or Calibrate Compass. Every time before take off, I check the compass status to see if both...

Anyone here with Tab s2 t713 have a problem with tablet compass interference from the mavic controller? all good if tablet is slided in with usb port on the right and power button on top but if I want to slide it in with power/volume buttons towards me and usb on the left the compass in the...
