Is there a consensus with regards to Compass (and/or) IMU Calibration?

I've posted commercial music on YouTube many times. No issues. My guess is because I'm not monetized.

A guess, but because it’s Vimeo, not YouTube. Its been awhile, but I’ve posted on Vimeo in the past with commercial music and no issues.

I wonder if it would get flagged on Facebook?

All you new guys are lucky! Back in the day, if you didn't pay your respects regularly to the compass gods, your drone had a good risk of sailing off into the sunset never to been seen again. Not that it can't still happen but we've come a long way.

One thing that hasn't changed is most people still don't understand when / when not to calibrate. And even though it is much less likely to end poorly, it is still important to get right. Follow the advice in sar104's post linked above.

I'm not monetized either and have been flagged any time I have done so. Oh well.

how do you get commercial music without a copyright hassle?

As was posted. Vimeo. No issues after over 100 videos.
Yet

Ha, yeah, I’ve seen a few people do that from the cover over the truck bed. What’s the reason you can’t with the Ford?

Hello... It is not advisable to use a metal surface as a takeoff platform for your drone, of any kind, the reason is because of the electromagnetic interference that can be increased on that metal surface and affect the compass of your drone at the time of takeoff, the The compass has an effect on the flight corrections made by the IMU, so the takeoff of the drone can be affected and the drone can make very sudden movements and possibly crash. Another point to consider and that is very important but that few comment on….Have you been worried if your device (Smartphone or Tablet or SC or Crystal Sky) is correctly calibrated its compass.???…Have you been worried about seeing on the radar of the DJI Go4 or DJI Fly App if the position of the RC and the direction of the Romo or drone tip are in the same direction.????…that is very very important when flying, because if they are not aligned in the same direction, if you move your drone away and lose sight of it, it will be difficult for you to orient yourself in which direction it is, obviously in the event that you do not have an image on your device either, flying in emergencies only with telemetry or instruments is complicated , sometimes it is good to do exercises of this type of flights so that if an emergency occurs, you have the serenity and clarity of what you must do. I hope I have helped you with your question. Greetings.!
