Hi all,
Rockie pilot here from Barcelona. I'm sailing in a research vessel (full of metal and electronic instrumentation) and willing to take some footage with a Mavic Pro. Most of the vessel locations with enough clearence to take off show magnetic interference warning, but I found a spot, above some plastic bouys, where it "only" shows yellow bars. Just before departuring, I had the chance of doing a small test on the harbour deck, where compass' bars were red, and few seconds after taking off, the drone started to drift laterally. I was lucky enough to put it down quickly and safe. I'm wondering though how risky is to fly from the boat in such conditions. Even if the take off are is more or less free of interference (yellow) I'm afraid it could fly close to a "red" zone as higher decks there full of antenas.
I've been reading some threads about flying from boats, but most of them are related to GPS mode in a moving boat, but I'm just considering to give it a try when the boat is halt, perhaps with a bit of drifting, but quite static.
Thanks in advance for any ideas or suggestions!!
Eduard
