so i used my Macbook, no luck.....i looked online for any help....no luck...


does anyone have any other ideas?

ive tried restarting, redownloading, but still no luck
 
  • DO NOT Calibrate
    • If near concrete, buildings, and hidden or overhead power lines/pipes/etc.
    • If you're indoors, on a paved surface, on a stone surface, on the beach, on a boat, on a balcony, near a car, near speakers, etc.
    • If there are magnetic metallic objects nearby or you're not sure
  • Pre-Calibration Checklist
    • Everything used in flight should be powered during calibration (e.g. GPS tracker).
    • Remove all metal from within 10 ft radius (e.g. watch, phone, ring, belt, coins, controller).
    • Calibrate on grass or dirt and not on concrete/asphalt (unless you know the concrete/asphalt does not contain rebar).
    • Calibrate on a level surface if possible.
  • How to Calibrate
    • Power up your Mavic and accessories as normal.
    • Wait until your Mavic is ready to fly.
    • Select CALIBRATE under AIRCRAFT STATUS | COMPASS. Click OK.
    • Confirm solid yellow rear lights.
    • Pick up the Mavic and turn it smoothly and steadily a full 360 degrees until the lights turn solid green.
    • Point the front of the Mavic straight down and repeat until the lights turn off and resume normal flashing.
      Note: Don't be concerned if your gimbal reacts poorly to being face down, keep turning as normal.
 
I was wondering If my Metal roof on my home is causing some problems ?
I thought it might so I moved away from the house a ways. ( would It ? )
