Compass calibration

[Howcroft22]

If you notice on YouTube a lot of the video showing the calibration are not the way it shows you on the screen of your phone or tablet when you are doing it. If you look at the screen of your phone or tablet when you were doing the vertical calibration it shows the drone with the camera facing straight out like you do with the horizontal calibration only it’s just tilted on its side. And most of the YouTube videos they have the camera facing down.

You can do the compass calibration either way.

I see. I thought it was odd that people didn’t follow the way it shows you on the dji app.

Most instructions/tutorials you'll encounter will show the Mavic pointing nose down on the second spin. Nose sideways works equally as well though (if you'd rather do it that way for some reason).

That’s good to know. I feel better now.
