Compass calibration, red light flashes continously

[marciano]

Hello,
I have a new Phantom V1.1.1
I've just installed the upgrade kit and H32D gimbal
Upgraded firmware.
Calibrated IMU
No warning (slow yellow-red light) but I started several times compass calibration and at the end I always get a calibratio error (red lights flashing continously)
X=90 X=-25 Y=370 Mod=1020
If my memory doesn't fail these values are good.
There was a DJI tutorial video about this issue but it has been removed.
What do you suggest?
Thanks.

Forgive this dumb comment, but... did you face the phantom in the correct way while performing calibration?

Yes of course. I also own a phantom V1, I have performed compass calibration several times (each time after upgrading this was a must, a warning in the assistan told me to do it)

Well, after more than ten attempts lights went green...

Keys or phone in pocket in attempts 1-9? Too close to car?

I had trouble calibrating my compass earlier today. It kept flashing red after the 2nd stage. I realized I had my belt (with large western-type buckle on it) on still. I took it off and calibration worked.

By the way, the MOD value should ideally be in the 1600 range or close to it.

1026 is low.

I was having trouble with a calibration error. After many attempts I figured out that it was best to slow down with my rotation and then I finally got the green lights!
