Yesterday I was forced to both start the Mavic from my hands, as well as catch it when it returned. The ground was uneven and rocky. So I wonder, is there any reason not to do this all the time? Seemed safe to me
The only reason not to do it is it's not as safe as landing on the ground.is there any reason not to do this all the time?
Have thought the same myself. It seems that brass and stainless steel compass housings don’t Cause a problem. Non ferrous metals don‘t influence the operation of Mavic or phantom compass from what I have seen either based on my very basic testing (looking for an observable change in mod value when bringing various non-ferrous metal objects in close proximity to the magnetometer) and direct experience.Hadn’t thought about compass issues. Have always heard not to do compass cals with a watch or anything metal on
So wonder if having one one would/could mess it up hand launching.
Just a thought.

The same device is on this blog by the inventor @Phantomrain.orgSome vendor in the Spark group has developed a hand held landing pad that you can velcro all your equipment to and, if compass calibration is needed, can remain attached to the pad and just rotate the disk as required for calibration

Wonder if you get a good calibration without removing the othe components, extra batteries, etc.? If not, I’d do the “drone dance” with my bird handheld.
Take s look at the device.
Sorry my friend... missed it ... late night last nightI saw it, being "jesty".
One should remove all other components before calibrating
