I know the question of interferences has been many times debated, but I wonder what is the deal really concerning mobile phones masts.
I have to film a bridge with my P3 soon, but I'm concerned about a Cell phone mast next to it. UK frequencies are 800Mhz/1800Mhz/and 2600mhz for the 4G. I wonder about possible interferences with our datalink at 2.4GHZ, or/and the compass due to EMF in the proximity of the mast. Anybody has experienced flying close to these masts?
Thanks.
 
I was filming industrial video, and as you can see on this picture there is a powerful cell tower on the left.Plus there are several radio towers and high voltage equipment. I had no issues.

Worst case, you'll get some signal breakup and possibly dropped video at certain points. But you shouldn't ever lose control. Unless you land on the tower!
 
Thank you guys, tha's all I wanted to know. I can go there light hearted now. ;)
