I bought the Mavic pro for my 16 year son for us to have something fun to do together. He has been getting magnetic interference and then at times will lose control of the drone. It just goes off on its own. He eventually gets it back, but we’re afraid to use it. We’ve only had it 2 weeks. Any help would be appreciated.

Where is the Mavic sitting before he takes off?

Are you taking off from a concrete surface that may have metal rebar/reinforcing inbedded in the concrete because that will cause magnetic interference, or taking off near any metal objects, did you you do a compasss calibration away from any metal objects initially.

On the ground, in the grass

Does the magnetic interference message display when the drone is sitting on the ground and nobody is near it? Does this happen in every location he takes off from?
