On-going Magnetic interferance.

Someone left a screw inside the refurbished drone and it's rattling inside next to the compass?

That really sounds like it needs the DAT file to diagnose. And have you done a compass calibration?

Yes, I am working on the DAT file now. Have done many compass calibration when prompted.

Would not surprise me!

All the responses seem centered on the mag interference but you also have a "jumpy gimbal". It sucks but sounds like you got a bad replacement and will have to get a replacement for your replacement.

Ok, I have found the cause!
When I move the Camer down, the Mag Int comes on. When I bring it back up it clears and goes to normal?
Any ideas on what's wrong with the Gimbal? Connections maybe?

Just playing around with it today and everytime I move the camera to the down position, the Mag Int kicks in. When I return it to the up position, it goes back to green! Never noticed it before.

just bare dirt?
no dirt is bare. there are minerals there. iron. (very very common) or even magnetic dust. other things can case problems.

It might need to be de-magnified. Something like Cfixer might help.

Who mentioned dirt???
Have a look at sand, big difference between dirt!
