Night flight compass calibration

[Meta4]

Going to bring a camp lantern and flashlight next time since my small headlamp didn’t work.

Another way I've found to get past this is to launch from in front of the car with the headlights illuminating the area.

Thanks, that’s a good idea too when I can launch in front of my truck.

I have been able to fly at night by facing drone at porch light before placing on the ground. When drone lands "compass calibration required" message comes back. Using this method it becomes obvious lack of light is the issue.

I also have mini 2 and have the same problem only at night does it ask for calibration and fails every time. I have added two side mount spot lights but even if you take them off same result had this problem starting from day 1 every once in a while it won’t ask for calibration at night but almost always does and it will not let you take off till you do.
