Compass Calibrating

[zorr0]

Yeah I was wondering if a good GPS signal was a requirement.

I'll try outside tomorrow and see if my CS calibrates just as quickly

Not at all. I don’t think u need any. Watch the green light on your stern. If it takes more than 2 minutes...start over. I was so pleasantly surprised at how easy it was

What size device mate?

Size monitor? The Ultra... there is one size in Ultra.

Just 7 sec if you are quick.

@CornerGuy I have the exact same problem.

Nine times out of ten, it just fails completely.

No idea why...

Out of interest, do you have a bracket or mount attached while doing this?

I have the tiny little metal plate from the DJI quick release attached, I was wondering if this tiny bit of metal might be causing it some confusion?

No.

I just tried CS compass calibration again and think I hit on something. I let it sit outside for 10 minutes before I ran calibration and calibration took less then 30 seconds.

Well, I did exactly the same thing today.

Sure enough, the CS compass calibrated within seconds.

Weird!

But sorted, thanks
