Neodymium Magnet in Backpack With Drone

[Cadillac2012]

I bought a magnet mount to use with a 360 action camera.

My question: if it’s in my backpack with my Mavic 2 Pro, should I be concerned?
My gut tells me not to get close to the drone but might just being too careful.
Thanks

Keep it away from your drone at all cost, you risk to magnetize something on it which will constantly disturb the compass in different degree depending on the heading direction.This will cause erratic drifts border lining to full flyaways due to yaw errors.

Never ever store your drone near a magnet.

Thanks, confirmed my suspicion. Would not want to loose a trusted drone.
