    Compass Error

    Thanks all, after a week still no response from DJI. I called Friday and they said Monday. If it had a compass error and lost connection with the aircraft, why would it continue to randomly fly? Seems like a big safety issue. I'm guessing that it was intending to return home but was not...

    Compass Error

    No video, probably cost more to repair than buy a new one.

    Compass Error

    For your viewing horror.... I did not add this in the OP but initially I thought it was lost forever. I had no idea what direction it went. Later that night I got a call from the local police saying they found it at the HS football stadium and put it on my front porch. Apparently he looked at...

    Compass Error

    For the most part. I was looking at the screen initially, and the alert did not pop up until it was at hovering altitude. I did hit the RTH and when it appeared to not do anything I hit cancel but it asked "IF I WAS SURE". That made me doubt canceling and to trust it. Soon after that it was...

    @DanMan32 thanks, I'm using iPhone. I did an IMU Calibration the previous day, was very cautious about making sure it was cold before calibrating.

    Compass Error

    @RodPad - A lot. Note that the last known location along the flight path and flight log is not where it was found. I thought it was gone forever but the local police department found it at the stadium a about a mile a way.

    Compass Error

    Thanks, I have only had 15 flights on it and it seems I always have to calibrate the compass (last time was before the previous flight). This was the first time I had gotten any compass errors in the air. For a year prior to this, I had been flying a drone without GPS / always manual...

    Compass Error

    Thanks, Here is the report it provided. Compass was calibrated before a flight I took that morning in the back yard away from metal. The launch site was in my driveway. Phantom Log Viewer - PhantomHelp.com

    Compass Error

    Hi All, Does anyone have advice while working with support? I have a support ticket open after a fly away. On Friday I powered mine on, got ready for take off, everything was fine, 10 sats and everything else was fine. I took off and as soon as I got to 25m, it gave a compass error, went...
