Flying near transmission tower?

Catching up with this thread - a repeat earlier post;

I flew a real estate gig the other day close to an electrical power plant (about a mile away) and power lines about 100' from my shoot). Decided to try the shoot with a P3P and as soon as the drone and controller hooked up I got all kinds to warnings about electrical interference. The motors wouldn't even start. Broke out my Mavic Pro, picked up 16 satellites, launched normal, completed the shoot, no issues!

When I do shoots in the inner city I get all kinds of interference warnings with both my P3P and Mavic. The Mavic seems less affected by any EMF.
 
Quaddamage, very good points! The thought about the older units being more dangerous is interesting indeed! Thanks for your post.
