So where do you find the altimeter at?

it is that thing which tells u how high u are...

if it's brand new bird then always good to do compass, IMU calibration and gimbal right after, also do a IMU calibration as cold as you can, it help to cut down your bird warning up time later on.
I am in Colorado, we, of all people know exactly how high we are.
I just took a little flight, tried to get some stars. Stupid arm LEDs.

Of course, you already know, that the front arm LED lights can be turned off, from within the Go App? Removing that red glowing reflection in photos.

thanks guys for your help..
the thing is there are no problems whatsoever with the bird, i'm afraid that once i recalibrate it will start throwing off errors and stability problems/ horizon issues just like the old one...
maybe cuz i was using my iphone to get a perfect level, cloning the phone imu to bird imu...
I've been reading the posts in this thread and the question I have is "What's the problem?"
As far as the compass is concerned the X, Y, Z, MOD values will fluctuate. The MOD value is in the acceptable range. There isn't any indication that the compass needs calibration.
The OP seems to be concerned about the altimeter. The altimeter is based on barometric readings so it may change some over the course of a flight. I just did a 15 minute flight and the altitude was about 20 feet different when it came back. There is no way to "calibrate" the altimeter. It gets set to 0 before takeoff. I saw the one post that seemed to indicate that an IMU calibration would calibrate the altimeter. This doesn't make any sense to me.
I don't think there is a problem. I haven't seen anything in this thread that indicates the compass, IMU, or the gimbal need to be calibrated.
Well, of course that's right if the initial calibrations haven't been done. But, the OP has done all those.If it's a new craft and has not been done, then yes it absolutely all needs calibrating for good flight. Any experienced phantom pilot that's been flying for a few years will agree.
