Do you feel the compass is off? Mine seems to be fine and I've never touched the compass calibration.
Yes, by about 20°, relative to where I am pointing on the map. I think going through the motions of the compass calibration, as depicted, may also help, even if isn't done through the calibration routine that immediately says "Done!" It seems to work on the Mavic 2 Pro when the iPad loses compass direction due to the Hall Effect from the iPad being above the sticks. Just roll the iPad and attached controller (while in flight) in a figure 8 to reset it correctly!
I normally only do those when asked to from the app or after a FW update- force of habit.
Well, when it is visibly off, however slightly, and the RC Pro compass calibration routine doesn't operate properly, there is a problem. Can anyone get the RC Pro Settings/Compass Calibration to work properly? It did work properly once, on one of the prior FW updates, after not working originally on the prior FW versions, but all subsequent updates have broken it again!
I was wary of updating doing for RC Pro and drone, will see if it caused any issues.
This wouldn't be a new problem, as it there was only one FW version back in January that fixed it, and the RC Pro Compass calibration hasn't worked properly since the update after. It immediately says "Done!" before you have actually done anything, other than click "Start Compass Calibration."
I tried the Pro compass calibration after update, I rolled it from top to down and looked at screen still asking to go sideways, once that was done the compass calibration disappeared so it seems to be working for me.
Great ,. finally i had success this morning with IMU calibration. followed by a long flight .. now i can rest .
Maybe there is some trick to doing correctly that I am missing.
Have you tried resetting the RC maybe? Mine shows that video and allows me to run through the calibration properly.
I have not. Is that a menu option? That sounds like a reformat that would lose everything I have done to it since purchase, which isn't worth it, especially since there is no assurance yet that it will fix the problem. Mine did the calibration properly under only one of the many FW versions, but not the first and not the most recent ones. Surely, I am not the only one with this issue, or am I?
Thanks for the information..! Because the truth was that information was not used to calibrate the compass on the IPad. I have never noticed a deviation between the Radar and the aircraft's nose orientation. If I have noticed it when I use Android and perform the recalibration of the tablet and it is Ok. I think it is a very important point, to have the compass of your device well calibrated and to make sure that both the direction of the nose of the aircraft and the reference point that the radar has coincide on the radar and that ours is the direction in which the RC. Very few times I have read that they make references to this topic that I believe is very important to be able to guide us in a better way to know about the location of the Drone, especially if the video image fails and you have to return manually to the point of departure.
