calibration

My controller has a neck strap so everytime i fly i just hang it on my neck because it's both safe and comfortable. I also calibrate my drone everytime before flight. So is it dangerous if the calibration is performed while the controller is hanging down from my neck?

So, NO I have not read the full manual yet, but I keep getting a message on the Pro+ screen asking me to calibrate "RC compass" with a blue figure eight diagram that I can not seem to be able to complete successfully. I have never seen this in previous Phantoms or online anywhere and wonder if...

Hello everyone! I have recently encountered a problem on my last job which has prevented me to fly my Phantom 3 Professional indoors. The error reported on screen was "Compass Error". Obviously this made sense, being inside a warehouse with probably a strong magnetic field interfering. What I...

Hi all, has anyone managed to perform an IMU on the P4P successfully without the fail warning at the end ?

I have got P3P and for now, I'm very satisfied with it, however, for some reason, when I do the calibration on my drone, I get a huge video lag about 6 seconds, when I reboot the drone and the RC it disappears. The device that I'm using is Sony Xperia M2 (I'm aware that this is an older...

Hello! After sending in my Phantom 3 Advanced for inspection at DJI's US service center in California, it was repaired under warranty and shipped back to me. The repair "quote" (even though it was repaired under warranty) indicated it had the "Phantom 3 main control board component" replaced...

Regarding this.... When calibrating Remove all metal from within 10ft radius, e.g. watch, phone, ring, belt, coins, controller. No issues... perfectly clear !!! After calibration and when flying can the above items go back on, or do they stay off ? I'm not sure I'm wanting my pants to...

Hi All, Been lurking here for several months but just recently came across an issue that I can't resolve with researching the existing posts. Long story short; repaired my drone last night after a crash that snapped the camera off the yaw arm. Replaced the yaw arm, gimbal motor and the...

As a general rule I always calibrate my compass before lift off (I'm a safety kinda guy), however when I get to my next location which sometimes is 10 miles away, (once I was 40 miles from my last location) I turn everything on it tells me that my home point has been updated please check it on...

Last night, while sitting in a totally metal chair (with metal armrests), I opened the compass on my Iphone. The compass rose was completely whacked, showing east as north, etc., and occasionally flipping 180 degrees from that. Thinking about compass calibration on my Phantom, I rose from my...

Looking for some help with my phantom 4 after a mild crash (hit a tv inside a house). The drone was "non responsive" after the crash and required firmware updates to the drone and RC to get it back working. Now that everything is back up and running, the gimbal is "limp" ; by this I mean you can...

Hey all, I use a power wheelchair and just received my Phantom 4. I've read a lot about people insisting or being paranoid about compass calibration around anything that is metal. Founded or not I have no other choice since I cannot walk and my chair is one huge piece of metal and perhaps...

About 4 weeks ago I updated to latest firmware to get my PP3 back in the air after a long winter's nap. I Had gave it a test flight before updating and all was well. I updated at my usual spot then moved the PP3 to my table where I always do my IMU updates so as to not have magnetic...

I just got my Phantom 2 back from DJI who replaced the 2.4 receiver. I can't calibrate: keep getting yellow flashes. When connected to the Assistant, it will not show "GPS Mode", but defaults to "Normal Flying". Now when I switch to Naza Mode, I get one green + three red flashes when...

I made a handy, little IMU calibration platform from an old 18" ceramic floor tile. I used JB Weld to glue nuts to the corners of the tile, I put rubber feet on the bolt heads and this works great to make a level platform for the calibration. Not my worst idea this week...

I had a problem calibrating the compass at the weekend. I'd gone to a spot I'd flown at before but the app displayed a compass error and prompted me to recalibrate. I had umpteen goes at this, moving large distances between each attempt and eventually changed the battery as it had gone down to...

I'm concerned that my raw Compass Calibration numbers may be out of whack. Specifically the X and Z numbers, the Y and Mod values seem within range. I'm assuming normal number ranges for X, Y and Z are: + or - 300 Compass Mod range: 1400-1800 I know that Mod = square root of (X*X+Y*Y+Z*Z)...

Hi everyone!! I had a bad experience some days ago with my phantom and it crashed :( It wasn't really high, around 3-4 meters, but it had a gimbal + a gopro so it was really heavy. The main frame had some marks, but overall it was looking good. I've removed the gimbal and the camera to test...

Flight out of Viola Fields in Carpinteria, CA. This was the first flight that I experienced compass errors possibly due to railroad communications/antenna interference?? During compass errors, P3P went into ATTI mode automatically and flight was feeling really unstable. First sign of instability...

I installed new firmware last month and flew P3 with no problems. Downloaded new DJI Go app today for upgrade and upgraded new RC firmware. When I start the aircraft the gimble does not calibrate horizontal with the horizon. I recalibrated the IMU and auto calibrated the gimble after, but...
