If you have this issue, please report it here!
Some of you know about this and some of you aren't affected. If you live in the following areas, you are subject to this problem even if you don't know it:
- Western US and Canada
- Northeastern US and Canada
- Eastern OZ and all of NZ
- Northeastern South America
- Southern Africa
Your compass and GPS are disagreeing over which way is forward. This results in curving (hooking), tracking to the left or right in GPS and course lock, and/or not hovering in place. This is a caused by a defect in DJI's firmware which they need to fix.
I am working through some contacts to get in touch with DJI's LA office to present the issue in a clear fashion along with the backing of the user communities like this one.
Most importantly, I want to show them how many other people have this issue.
If you are in one of the areas above, confirm in this thread that you have experienced this issue. I have written a complete summary of the issue here:
DJI Phantom and Magnetic Declination which I will be sharing with DJI as well. Please share this so that we can collect as many of the affected users as possible.
And before anyone says "Just rotate your compass", that is not the answer. DJI has said so themselves.
