Hey BobPhoto, If your bird is searching for channels, then your operation location is rife with interference, which could be the main part of your problem. Why do I conclude that?? From my own experience, not only with DJIs but with Yuneecs as well. Also, why the bird appears to be OK in your...

:p

:D

I apologize to those affected by the whole manual being in the link. I was on the page for "compass calibration" when I copied and pasted the URL. I assumed too much, literally! OK, you need a Ford pickemup with the Al alloy bed! Wonder if the side rails are that, too? I wouldn't have one...

I refer you to the latest version of the DJI Mavic Pro manual, v. 2.0, of last December: https://dl.djicdn.com/downloads/mavic/Mavic%20Pro%20User%20Manual%20V2.0-.pdf

It does travel within the confines of an SUV. How does yours travel over the thousands of miles w/o having to recalibrate? I find that to be miraculous if you go to areas of different magnetic declination (I don't think that's theoretical physics!) differing by several degrees. You're not...

I hope you read this paragraph within your reference: "Earth ambient magnetic field as a function of zip code can be obtained from the online National Geophysical Data Center magnetic field calculator. But for some applications, you may not even care what the local value is. (That's why i...

Then why does my P3A require me to recalibrate the compass before flight when I am in NC altho it was previously calibrated in SC? And vice-versa?

It's not "compensation," it's "calibration." OK, now I'm guessing you were the author of some drone manual(s), so you know exactly what BS to write, huh?

You definitely need to define "normal" here. FX, if you change flying locations, you should always recalibrate compass. If you've been around electrical equipment, like ground transformers, you should recalibrate. Read the manual!!!

Looky, this is really simple. If in doubt, calibrate the doggone thing. Not having a calibrated compass is one reason for flyaways.

Saw this yesterday (3/2/18) on costco.com: DJI Mavic Pro Aerial Camera Bundle Item #1125659 Your Price $799.97 Free Shipping Includes Aerial Camera, Controller, Battery Charger, 16GB MicroSD Card, Backpack and Propeller Guards

Oh, I forgot, My choice above all others is the Mavic Pro just for its utility and its features. It's also a superb camera drone!

3putts is absolutely correct. The best DJI model anyone can have is one that hasn't flown away to "Never-Never Land!!!"

I posted a question yesterday having to do with downgrading P3P firmware after doing the 4K mod on the P3A. I had one answer from Digdat0, which mentioned the tedious manner in how the downgrade had to be done. In fact, he had installed an HD cam/gimbal on a P3P, the opposite of what I'd...
